General error messages

Each time the generator is switched on, an a utomatic check of all im portant fun c- tions is mad e (test routine) .

The genera tor is constantly monitored during radiograp hic operation.

Upon detection o f a fault the generator is disabled , and a corresponding error message appea rs in the m es sage line and is saved in the me m ory.

Tube load computer

General

The tube load computer protects the connec ted X-ray tube assembly from over- loading in radiographic mode.

From the selected exposure factors and from the physical an d geometrical prop- erties of the tube assembly it com putes the length of the c oold o w n time that may be necessary.

Furthermore, the tube load computer stores al l importa nt operating data of the respective X- ray tube assemb ly.

The c urrent load (%hu) is constantly displayed.

Pause time indication

The c oold o wn time indica ted in the message line must be observed to prevent overloading the tube assemb ly. The next e x posure must not be released before this time has elapsed.

❏

X-ray tube assembly with no load

 No c oold own time required:

You may release the preset e x posure up to 100% tube load.

❏

X-ray tube assembly with little load

 No c oold own time required and automatic switching to 80% tub e load.

You may release the preset exposure with 80% tube load.

❏

X-ray tube assembly with heavy load

 Cooldown time is indicated

You may release the preset exposure with 8 0 % tube load only after the indicated cooldown time has elapsed.

If a warning buzzer is to come on at a certain pause time threshold please have it pro-

grammed by your customer service.

Exposure release

You c an release the exposure i ndependent of the system configuration either with the release button on the generator c ontrol c on sole or by the system o per- ation.

Check the selected exposure data on the genera tor control c onsole be fore every radiation release.

You c an release an exposure if

❏

no error message appea rs in the m e ssage line, and

❏

none of the displays ( kV, mAs, ms) on the c ontrol console flashes

Preparation:

◆

Press the exposure release button dow n to the 1st pressure point

 the rotating anode is a c celera ted to nominal speed  the required filament current is set

After the X-ray tube assembly has heated up and the rota ting anode has run up to speed , the exposure can be rele ased selectively.

Radiation release:

◆

Press the release button c o m pletely through and keep it held until the e xpo- sure is ended.

Letting go of the release button immed iatel y ends the e xp osure and the expo- sure can then be und erex posed.

The radiation indicator on the control console l ights up and a signal sounds during the ex posure release. Let go of the release button immediately after the radiation indicator goes out. In this wa y you conserve the X-r a y tube assembly.

❏

Observe the following to increase the life of the tube assembl y:

 If possible alwa ys select 80% tube load a t the generator.  It is essential that you program 8 0 % tube loa d in the progra ms with s m all

focal spot an d a tube voltage less than 70 kV.  Work with the large focal spot below 70 kV tube voltage, if p o ssible.  Keep the prep time short a nd possibly push through to keep this time

short.  Let go of the exposure release button im mediately after the exposure.

The above instructions should be observed especially at workstations with high patient throughput (accident stations) to counterac t prema ture we a r of the X-ray tube assembly.
