Switch ON circuit
Switch on circuit and sequence
Unit is switched ON by means of main contactor TLR1 and solid state relay RYS1.
Drive and timing circuit is on board of PCB 03-186, powered by TF129.
Switch On sequence
Main contactor TLR1 switches ON at first and dumping resistor R1 smooths inrush current of TF155,
TF165 and capacitors C1,C2,C3,C4.
After few seconds RY S1, with zero cross drive, shorts R1 and full power is available for H.V.
generator and other high power services.
Display and Keyboard initialization
Keyboard (PCB 92-083+03-181) has its own dedicated CPU.
At power ON, empty frame is drawn by keyboard CPU on the display.
When main CPU of PCB 01-170 starts, display frame is filled with icons.
Grid position initialization
At power ON grid is moved to search home position and noise from the table is normal.
Grid home position is at left side from patient position.
Emergency shutdown
Emergency push buttons located on both sides of MAMMOMAT Balance.
Operating Emergency push button will switch OFF immediately main contactor TLR1 and the whole
unit is switched OFF.
ON/OFF pushbutton and control lamp
Connected to CN16 of PCB 03-186 has control lamp inside.
Control lamp is bright when unit is OFF, after switch OFF, lamp blinks for a short time during which
further switch ON is disabled to allow high power circuit to reset.

Table detection and grid test
Table detection and grid test
Table driver
Table driver is onboard of PCB 03-188 motherboard, it contains both cassette sensing + leds for all
tables and stepper motor driver for grid tables.
Table driver is connected by serial port to main CPU.
Table detection
The following tables are detected by the CPU in order to guarantee the appropriate functionality.
Model Part number
18x24 gridless 83.83.189
18x24 grid 83.83.171
24x30 gridless 83.83.239
24x30 grid 83.83.221
18x24 gridless 1,8 X magnification device 83.83.353
Cassette detection functions are the same for all the tables.
Green LED is bright fix when unexposed cassette is in. Unit could not be ready for exposure
depending on Door Open and/or no collimation plate.
Green LED is blinking for all other conditions.
If cas sette notch sensing switch is enabled ( Table internal jumper removed ) and cassette has no
notch, green Led is blinking even if cassette is properly inserted.
Grid tables.
If grid table is recognized, x-ray beam is pulsed. Both large and small focus can be selected from the
control panel.
Gridless tables.
If gridless table, any kind, is recognized, x-ray beam is continuous, small focus is selected
automatically and deselected when gridless table is removed.
Grid movement test
If grid table is inserted, by means of pushbuttons Bell + Compression [-] grid can be moved without
exposure for functionality check.
Grid must oscillate back and forth.
Grid speed is different during the first 7 runs for strokes First right / left, speed for movement must be
regular
Grid movement has time -out of 20” to protect stepper motor.
When Grid movement is activated by main CPU, DL8 of PCB 03-188 becomes bright fix and .LED2
PCB 01-170 blinks following x-ray interruption at grid direction change.
Grid home position is at left side from patient position.

LOW ANODE CURRENT
Bt
After exposure in MANUAL mode
Anode current was below lower limit or zero.
Exposure has been terminated by Back Up Timer.
Check anode current calibration according to specific section of this manual.
Also check kV value according to specific section of this manual.
Alarm can also depend on malfunction of V/F converter onboard of PCB 92-073, event
counter on board of PCB 01-170 and cable CV0173.
To investigate mAs integrator, check LED5 PCB 92-073 and LED3 PCB 01-170
For further investigation, external Dose meter or radiographic cassette with film can be
used to detect if x-ray are generated or not.
LOW ANODE CURRENT could also be due to H.V. generator defect or failure, check it as
described in dedicated section of this manual.

After pre exposure
Breast density is too high and [p] value lower than limit selected during AEC calibration
