Configuration provides the initial settings for extended memory and checkout
procedures that must be carried out prior to making X-ray exposures.
Functional characteristics of this Generator are defined at the time of
installation.
Calibration data and some configuration data are stored in the extended
memory area on a non-volatile memory chip (U3-EEPROM) located on the
HT Controller Board in the Power Cabinet.
When the initial setup and checkout has been completed the Generator will be
ready for Calibration.
Note .
Record all the configuration settings in the Data Book.

1.2ANODE STARTER CONFIGURATION
1.2.1HIGH SPEED VERSION
The High Speed Starter (LV-DRAC - Low Voltage Digital Rotating Anode
Controller) is required for High Speed X-ray Tube(s). Connections between the
LV-DRAC and the Generator Cabinet are factory made, so any wire connection
is required.
1.2.2LOW SPEED VERSION
For Low Speed, voltage and capacitor is factory set to 220 VAC, 30 μF. Other
voltages require their corresponding adaptation. In all cases, refer to X-ray Tube
Product Data.
HF Series Generators
Configuration
Check that capacitor values of the Low Speed Stator
correspond to the values recommended by the X-ray Tube
manufacturer. Also, the Rotor speed must be the indicated by
manufacturer. If needed replace the capacitors.
CONFIGURATION FOR ONE OR TWO TUBES WITH THE SAME
STARTING VOLTAGE (110 VAC OR 220 VAC)
When the stator requires a voltage of 110 VAC(a.e. X-ray Tube
Toshiba E7239 / E7240 / E7242 / E7252 / E7299 / E7813 / E7865)
perform the following modifications:
If the Power Input Transformer 6T2 is for using with power
lines up to 240 VAC (part number 50509030), remove the wire
connected to terminal 6T2 - 4 (230 VAC RTR) and connect it to
terminal 6T2 - 3 or 6T2-8 (110 VAC).
If the Power Input Transformer 6T2 is for using with power
lines up to 530 VAC (part number 50509029), remove the wire
connected to terminal 6T2 - 4 (230 VAC RTR) and connect it to
terminal 6T2 - 40 (110 VAC).
CF-1004R4
For X-ray Tube Toshiba E7252 or E7813 (or when it is
required) replace also the Fuse F1 (6A) on the LF-RAC Board
by another fuse of 10 A.
This change affects to all the Tubes connected to Generator.

In calibration mode, only the kV and mA parameters can be
modified, values for Time and mAs are factory programmed.
4.Increase the mA value beyond the maximum mA position, one step for
each of the memory locations. The mA Display will show the first
Extended Memory location (E01), they will continue sequentially as the
“Increase mA” push-button is pressed.
The values stored in each location are displayed on the kV Display after
pressing the “AEC Reset” push-button or after pressing the “+1”or“-- 1 ”(or “Increase” and “Decrease”) density push-buttons. Since these
push-buttons are also used to increase or decrease the stored values
one number should be added or subtracted from the r eading to obtain the
stored value.
5.Select the new value by pressing “+1”or“-- 1 ”(or “Increase” and“Decrease”) density push-buttons. Each time these push-buttons are
depressed the displayed value (on the kV Display) is increased or
decreased one step.
6.Store the new value by pressing the “AEC Reset” push-button
(Check-summ function).
CF-1004R4
Note .
If the “AEC Reset” push-button is not pressed after a new value is
selected, no modified data will be retained and the kV Display
reverts to either the selected kV value or the original data.
7.Exitcalibration mode by simultaneously pressing “+2” and “-- 2 ” (or “Slow”

2.3.2PROGRAMMING OF ROTOR ACCELERATION TIME AND FILAMENT SETTING TIME
Rotor Acceleration Time is determined by the X-ray Tube and
Rotor characteristics and it must be considered when the
Generator is a bout to be configured. X-ray Tube could be
permanently damaged unless the required RPM are reached
before an exposure. (Refer to technical information of the
X-ray Tube).
Dip Switch 3000SW2 on the HT Controller Board is used to program:
•Rotor Acceleration Time. That depends on Stator voltage, Stator
frequency, and Stator type, quality of X-ray Tube bearings, and X-ray
Tubeanode size. A reed tachometer can be used to determine the anode
RPM. Customer application will determine the acceleration times. Be
sure that the Rotor Acceleration Times meet all requirements for
anticipated customer applications.
Note .
•Rad Filament Setting Time. Sometimes, after configuration of the Rotor
Acceleration Time, it is required to increase the Filament Setting Time to
the following time. For that, configure the respective switches again. This
adjustment avoids Error-12.
•Fluoro R otor Hold-over Time.
•Fluoro Filament Hold-over Time.
They are only allowed when dip switch 3000SW2-1 is in “Closed”
(On) position after power the Generator OFF and back ON again.
LOW SPEED STARTER VERSION (LF-RAC)
Rotor Acceleration Time is programmable from 0.8 to 2.7 seconds. After this
time the Rotor is hold running in maintaining mode as long as “Prep”isactive.
Fluoro Rotor and Filament Hold-Over Time can be also programmed to run for
1 minute or not at all, after releasing the Fluoro Pedal.
