1.1 XRB011 DESCRIPTION
The XRB011 MONOBLOCK is a complete integrated system consisting of a high voltage power supply
(HVPS), filament supply, X-ray tube and oil encapsulant which provide the required high voltage insulation in
one compact enclosure. The combination of proprietary control system and protection circuitry enables the
supplies to operate under arcing and extreme transient conditions without damage or interruptions. Additional
advantages are the elimination of high voltage cables and extremely low leakage X-ray radiation.
The XRB011 incorporates local and remote programming, monitoring, and fault indicators including safety
interlock. The X-ray source is a sealed unit containing a HVPS and an X-ray tube. The insulating oil provides
electrical insulation for the high voltage sections of the power supply and the X-ray tube in a sealed tank. The
oil also functions as a coolant to carry heat away from the tube. Convection cooling augmented by customer
provided minimum 50cfm external fan is required for the 50W option. A rubber bellows in the tank of the X-ray
source compensates for the expansion of the oil as the oil temperature varies with operating conditions thereby
eliminating the need for bulky overflow tank.

1.3 THEORY OF OPERATION
1.3.1 Function Overview
The XRB011 MONOBLOCK Series is a complete integrated system consisting of a high voltage power
supply (HVPS), filament supply, X-ray tube and oil encapsulant which provide the required high voltage
insulation in one compact enclosure. The combination of proprietary control system and protection circuitry
enables the supplies to operate under arcing and extreme transient conditions without damage or interruptions.
Additional advantages are the elimination of high voltage cables and extremely low leakage X-ray radiation.
The XRB011 MONOBLOCK Series incorporates local and remote programming, monitoring, and fault
indicators including safety interlock. The X-ray source is a sealed unit containing a HVPS and an X-ray tube.
The insulating oil provides electrical insulation for the high voltage sections of the power supply and the X-ray
tube in a sealed tank. The oil also functions as a coolant to carry heat away from the tube. Convection cooling
augmented by customer provided minimum 50cfm external fan is required for the 50W option. A rubber
bellows in the tank of the X-ray source compensates for the expansion of the oil as the oil temperature varies
with operating conditions thereby eliminating the need for bulky overflow tank.
The XRB011 MONOBLOCK is basically a DC to DC power converter. Within the generator, conversions of DC
to DC, then to high frequency AC, then to high voltage DC take place. By reviewing further the subassemblies, a basic understanding of the process can be gained.
1.3.2 Input Line Power
The Input DC voltage provides the voltage for the high voltage inverter and the filament supply.
The line input voltage can vary from 23V up to 25V within the series.
1.3.3 HV Inverter
The inverter is a “Push-Pull” topology. Voltage mode control is used for driving the inverter. Two MOSFET
transistors are used as switches in the HV inverter. These MOSFET provide high frequency switching to
control the primary current flow in the high voltage transformer.
Circuits on the Control board provide the gate control of the switches. The PWM IC generates gate drive
control signals.
1.3.4 High Voltage Transformer
The output of the High Frequency Quasi-resonant Inverter is connected to the primary of the High Voltage
Transformer. The High Voltage Transformer is a step up type. Typical secondary voltage is in the range of
5.7kV depending upon output voltage ratings.
1.3.5 High Voltage Assembly
The High Voltage Assembly circuitry typically consists of two high voltage multipliers to generate ±40kV. The
high voltage section is a bipolar ground-referenced supply. The multiplier is a standard diode-capacitor
multiplier with seven stages of voltage multiplication and the divider is a precision resistance divider string.
Each supply is capable of generating 40 kV.
A high bandwidth resistive/capacitive divider provides voltage feedback for regulation and monitoring. A sense
resistor connected at the low voltage end of the High Voltage Rectifier provides current feedback for regulation
and monitoring.
1.3.6 System Control PWB
Control of the generator utilizes sophisticated analog and digital circuitry resulting in fast and accurate control,
protection and signaling to the user.
This generator is based on advanced PWM control utilizing the specific integrated circuit. Analog signals are
digitized in A/D converter and processed within DSP circuits to provide maximum accuracy and reliability.
All feedback signals are sent to the user interface through digital and D/A circuits where switching is possible
between feedback and program signals. This allows the user to preset the desired output before energizing
high voltage.
All program voltages are typically ramped up to set level by the digital ramp generator.
SPELLMAN HIGH VOLTAGE Introduction 1
Installation and Operating Manual Page1-8 118149-001 REV F
A-D and D-A converters and drivers provide system Fault Control and Indication. User interface is processed
on this PWB as well, providing isolated relay coils, opt couplers and open collectors contact.
1.3.7 Filament Power
The filament inverter provides the filament power for the X-ray tube. The filament inverter is a high frequency,
series resonant inverter. The inverter provides ac current to the primary of the filament isolation transformer.
The filament isolation transformer secondary is connected to the filament tube. The filament power is
2.25Vac/1.7Aac.
See Figure 1.2 for a simplified diagram of the X-RAY tube connection and current sensing circuits. The
filament circuitry also provides a variety of control, diagnostic and protection functions.
If any abnormal condition appears, monitoring circuitry will shut down the unit.
Figure 1.2 Simplified schematic of X-RAY tube connection
1.3.8 High Voltage Interlock
The XRB011 is equipped with safety interlocks for user personnel and equipment protection. An open interlock
circuit inhibits operation of the XRB011 MONOBLOCK.

To operate in Remote mode, position jumper JP11 in the 2-3 position on the control board. Remove the cover to
access JP11.
All program values default to zero upon power up except kV program to 35kV.
3.6 REMOTE MONITORS
Provides remote monitors of the output voltage and output current via RS- 232 digital interface at J5 or
Ethernet digital interface RJ45
3.7 XRAY ON COMMAND
Provides control of X-ray ON and X-ray OFF either via a dry contact connection from J1-23 to J1-19 when operating
in Local Mode (analog control). In remote Mode J1-23 is not active and X-ray ON and OFF is controlled through
RS- 232 or Ethernet communication.
The external interlock must also be close for the X-ray to enable.
3.8 EXTERNAL INTERLOCK
The X-ray cannot be enabled unless the external interlock is closed by connecting J1-9 to J1-8. During high voltage
operation, opening the interlock circuit will cause the High Voltage to be disabled.
3.9 SYSTEM STATUS AND FAULT DIAGNOSTIC DISPLAY
If a fault occurs, the power supply will revert to the POWER DOWN mode indicated by X-RAY READY STATUS (J1-
12), RS-232 or Ethernet as HV OFF. In local mode to reset all faults, the X-RAY ON Command (J1-23) must be
toggled OFF and ON. In Remote mode; to reset all faults a host command sent via RS-232 or Ethernet, Reset Faults <52>
.
All fault and status outputs are open collector (Normally off), and are intended to drive an LED or diode of an optocoupler with 24V@10mA max
