2. INSTALLATION
2.1 X-RAY TUBE COMPATIBILITY
Using the dimensions in Fig. Tube Compatibility below, ensure the near port limiter can
be inserted in to the X-ray tube port.
• Check that the tube housing literature indicates congruent minimum inherent filtration (1
mm) and, that maximum radiation leakage is 30 mR/hour measured at 1 m from the source
when operating at its leakage technique factors (150 kVp - 4 mA).
• Source values (tube housing-collimator) must not be less than 3 mm Al for filtration and
must never exceed 100 mR/hr for radiation leakage [21 CFR sub-chapter J, part 1020.30
(m) (1)].
• The distance between the X-ray tube focus and the flange mounting plane (collimator
upper plate) must be: 80 mm (3.14"), tolerance +/- (0.04”).
Fig. Tube Compatibility
CAREFULLY FOLLOW THE MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS AND

MAKE SURE THAT THE COLLIMATOR IS CORRECTLY
ASSEMBLED. INCORRECT MOUNTING COULD
BE DANGEROUS: IT COULD CAUSE THE COLLIMATOR TO
FALL OR TO OPERATE INACCURATELY.
• Use the X-ray tube housing literature to determine the distance from the focal spot to the
tube port face.
• Subtract the resulting distance from 80 mm (3.14") and determine the number of 1.5 mm
(0.06") spacers that, combined with the thickness of the mounting flange, will make up the
difference: (20 mm for the fixed flange; 18 mm for the rotating flange) Allowable tolerance
is 1 mm. (0.04").
• Different flange models with their dimensions are listed in the Chapter DESCRIPTION,
paragraph Optional Items.
• Mount the flange and spacers to the tube port with 4 countersunk bolts and 4 countersunk
washers, the bolts must be long enough to be driven into the tube port face for at least 5
threads.
• Tighten the bolts.
SGhealthcare 82
IMPORTANT
TO SAFEGUARD THE OPERATOR AND PATIENT AGAINST THE
HAZARD OF A FALLING COLLIMATOR, THE FOLLOWING
INDICATIONS MUST BE RESPECTED.
• Unscrew the four mounting and centering adjustment Allen screws on the collimator until
the four tabs are withdrawn from the collimator top opening, see Fig. Mounting Flange, in
this Chapter.
WHEN UNSCREWING THE ALLEN SCREWS WHICH CONTROL

THE TABS, DO NOT USE FORCE EXCEEDING 0,55 NM.
UNSCREW WITH CARE SO AS NOT TO DAMAGE THE FIXING
TABS.
• Manually adjust the collimator opening to their widest setting.

• Carefully couple the collimator with the tube to determine that the cone/extra focal shutters
have enough clearance to move in the port opening and in the mounting flange, see Fig.
Tube Compatibility in this Chapter.
• Place the collimator on the flange. Tighten the four mounting screws equally until the
collimator holds firmly on the tube housing, see Fig. Mounting Flange in this Chapter.
• The collimator control tabs conform to EN 60601-1. Ralco recommends an appropriate
force which ensures safe locking of the tabs min. 0.75 Nm (± 5 cNm)
MAKE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE ALLEN SCREWS SECURING

THE CONTROL TABS.
APPROPRIATE TIGHTENING OF THE 4 ALLEN SCREWS
ENSURES SECURE MOUNTING OF THE COLLIMATOR.
TIGHTENING FORCE USED MUST BE GREATER THAN 0.50
NM.
IF THE COLLIMATOR IS TO BE MOUNTED ON A ROTATING

FLANGE, USE A TIGHTENING FORCE BETWEEN MIN. 0,50
NM AND MAX. 0.75 NM.
• Check to see that the distance between the collimator housing and the mounting flange is
equal in all directions and that the collimator face is parallel to the axis of the table.
• Loosen the screws and adjust if required.

3. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 LIGHT/X-RAY FIELD SETTING
• Set the collimator at 100 cm SID.
• By rotating the knobs and with the knob index on the front panel, follow the tags of the
scale.
• Do not force the knobs.
• Activate the light field by pressing the related push-button on the collimator front panel.
• The collimator is ready to operate.
WARNING:
PROLONGED LIGHTING WITHOUT ALLOWING LIGHT SOURCE TO COOL
CAUSES THE COLLIMATOR TO OVERHEAT IN THE AREA NEAR THE LIGHT
SOURCE.
FOR EMERGENCIES: MAXIMUM LIMIT ADIVSED IS 5 SUCCESSIVE LIGHT
SOURCE OPERATIONS.
ALLOW THE COLLIMATOR TO COOL (ABOUT 10 MIN).
BY INCREASING THE CONSECUTIVE "ON" TIMES, THE SUBSEQUENT REST

PERIODSNEED TO BE EXTENDED ACCORDINGLY. IT IS IMPRUDENT TO
PERFORM TWO CONSECUTIVE CYCLES OF 5 ON TIMES.
The collimator has been designed to operate as follows:

• Supply constantly connected during operation of the equipment.
• Light source ON time for the light field is factory set at 30 seconds (tol.20%). It is adjustable
from 30 to 45 seconds via a trimmer on the timer board.
• The normal ON/OFF cycle is set at 1 minute followed by an idle time of 4 minutes to allow
for cooling time (i.e. 1 minute ON/ 4 minutes OFF).
• The field is set by the two knobs on the front panel by following the indications of the scale
with the knob index or visually with the light field.
SGhealthcare 89
3.2 Front Panel
The table provides the readout of the numbers which must be set with the knobs. The exact
number to be set is obtained by crossing the SID in use (the value indicated by vertical
arrow), with the Cassette size value in cm or inches (horizontal arrow).If necessary see

4. CALIBRATION
THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES REQUIRE THAT X-RADIATION BE
PRODUCED. TAKE ADEQUATE PRECAUTIONS TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT NO
PART OF THE HUMAN BODY IS EXPOSED TO X-RADIATION, DIRECT OR
INDIRECT.
CENTERING X-RAY BEAM WITH COLLIMATOR LIGHT

• Place a 35 x 43 cm. (14 x 17") cassette on the table top or other flat, horizontal surface.
• Position the X-ray tube/collimator assembly with the focal spot at 1 meter (40") over the
cassette with the X-ray beam perpendicular to the cassette surface. Do not use
measurement indicators on the system as reference values, but measure the distance from
the focal spot to the cassette surface with a tape measure of similar device.


• Use the collimator light to center the cassette in the field.

• Mark the location of the cassette with masking tape
or other means so that it may be removed and
replaced in the same position.
• Place white paper on top of the cassette to provide
maximum contrast for the light field.
• Set the collimator to provide a field size of 30 x 30
cm. (12” x 12") at 1 meter (40").
• Activate the light field and use it to position 18 coins
as shown in the diagram.
• Position each pair of coins touching one another so
that the inner coin is lighted as much as possible and
the outer coin is lighted as little as possible.
• The points where the coins contact will define the
edges of the light field.
• The extra two coins are to be set:
• One in a corner to ascertain film position.
• The other at the intersection of the diagonals to define film center.
• Set the X-ray generator to produce a density of about 50 kVp, 5 mAs.
• Make an exposure.
• Remove the cassette and process the film.
• Use the test film to check the alignments described below.
SGhealthcare 91
THE HEEL EFFECT WILL CAUSE THE FIELD TOWARD THE CATHODE TO BE
SLIGHTLY LESS SHARP THAN ON THE OTHER THREE SIDES. THIS IS
NORMAL AND CANNOT BE CORRECTED BY ADJUSTMENT. IN ADDITION,
AN X-RAY TUBE OF 12° OR LESS TARGET ANGLE WILL PRODUCE AN
ASYMMETRICALLY SHAPED FIELD WHEN A LARGE FIELD SIZE IS USED AT
SHORT SID, BECAUSE OF ANODE CUT-OFF EFFECT. THIS IS NORMAL AND
MAY NOT BE CORRECTED BY ADJUSTMENT.
4.1 LIGHT FIELD TO X-RAY FIELD ALIGNMENT
Misalignment of the light field/ X-ray field in either the X (cross table) or Y (long table) direction
must not exceed 2% of the SID. In this case, it would be less than 20 mm (0.80"). If the test film
shows that the light field (shadows of the markers) matches the X-ray field (shadow of the
collimator shutters) to within the diameter of one marker and, if the diameter is less than 20 mm
(1.80"), then alignment complies with the regulations.
Greater precision than this is possible. Recommended maximum deviation is one fourth. It is
important the greatest degree of congruency possible is achieved.
If misalignment is detected in both X and Y directions, check the spacing from the focal spot to
the collimator mounting surface is 80 mm (3.14") +/- 1 mm. If spacing needs to be adjusted,
repeat the test film exposure after the adjustment.
If the collimator mount spacing is correct, but adjustment is still necessary proceed as follows:
• Place the test film on the face of the cassette over the white paper.
• Place the cassette in the position originally marked.
• Check the correct position of the film by the shadows cast by the markers.
• Using the images of the collimator shutters as the references for the shape and size of the
X-ray field, adjust the light field to match.
• If adjustment is necessary, adjust the travel of the light source. All procedures can be found
in LIGHT FIELD ADJUSTMENTS in this chapter.

The Aluminium equivalence of each component in the primary beam (X-ray tube and housing,
beam limiting device and any additional filtration in the system) is specified on the component,
in the technical data attached to the component or can be measured. Determine the total
aluminium equivalence in the primary beam and make sure that it is equal or greater than those
specified in the above Table Total Filtration of Primary Beam in Aluminium Equivalence.
5.3 Quick-Check of Minimum Filtration Requirement at a Particular kVp
If the total inherent filtration cannot be seen, then the HVL must be obtained with the following
procedures:
The HVL in millimetres of aluminium in the system under test must be compared with those
specified in Table Minimum Filtration Requirement - Beam Quality (HVL) and must be
greater than or equal to the values shown in the table.
a) Direct the central X-ray beam perpendicular and in the center of a RAD-Check instrument.
Determine the exact distance from the X-ray tube focal spot to the window of the collimator
(273 mm - 10.75"). Place the input area of the RAD-CHECK at an equal distance from the
collimator window. Collimate the beam to an area slightly larger than the detector.
b) Make an exposure at a pre-selected technique factor of 90 kVp and appropriate mA and time
values with no added filtration in the beam; record the reading.
Using the type 1100 Aluminium Alloy, tape a total of 2.5 mm of Aluminium to the window of
the collimator. Make an exposure using the same technique factors; record the reading.
c) Verify that the radiation read with the 2.5 mm Al in the beam is greater or equal to 50% of
the radiation read with no filtration in the beam.
5.4 Standard Absorber Method
The HVL determination obtained from the following procedures are to be compared with those
illustrated in the Table - Minimum Filtration Requirement - Beam Quality (HVL). The HVL
in millimetres of aluminium obtained during the test must be greater or equal than the values
listed in the above mentioned table.
a) Direct the central X-ray beam perpendicular and in the center of a RAD-Check instrument.
Determine the exact distance from the X-ray tube focal spot to the window of the collimator
(273 mm - 10.75"). Place the input area of the RAD-CHECK at an equal distance from the
collimator window. Collimate the beam to an area slightly larger than the detector.
b) Select a tube potential of 100 kVp and appropriate mA and seconds, with no added filtration
in the beam make an exposure and record the reading. Using a set of several sheets of 1100
Aluminium Alloy, each having a thickness of 0.5 or 1.0 mm, tape the filtration to the window
of the collimator. Make an exposure for each increments of filtration and record the reading.
c) Plot the exposure readings (log scale) versus the total added filtration thickness on semi-log
paper; see the sample hereunder.
d) Verify that HLV values in the useful beam for the above specific tube potential is not less
than the values shown in Table - Minimum Filtration Requirement - Beam Quality (HVL).

SGhealthcare 144
2.5.0 EQUIPMENT PLACEMENT
2.5.1 Main Cabinet
Place the generator cabinet in a location that will allow the following:
• Easy front and side access for service and sufficient clearance at the rear for room interface cables.
Refer to chapter 1.
• Air circulation: The main cabinet is fan cooled, therefore room-temperature air must be free to
circulate around the cabinet. The cooling slots in the cabinet must be unobstructed at all times.
• A stable footing.
• Close proximity to service-disconnect boxes. Cables should not be on the floor where they could be
stepped on or tripped over.
• Do not locate the X-ray generator within the patient environment of the X-ray room.
YOU MAY CHOOSE TO TEMPORARILY LOCATE THE CONSOLE NEAR THE GENERATOR FOR
INITIAL PROGRAMMING AND CALIBRATION. IF SO, PLEASE COMPLETE THE FINAL CONSOLE
INSTALLATION PER THIS SECTION WHEN THE GENERATOR INSTALLATION IS COMPLETED.
Position the control console in its intended location and ensure that it is stable.
• The control console (membrane console, touchscreen console, or mini-console) must be located
inside an X-ray shielded control booth within the X-ray room, or outside the X-ray room.
• If the console is located on a shelf, supply index pins or equivalent hardware to the base of the
console to prevent slipping.
• Ensure that the console is mounted at a height and angle to allow for easy viewing of the displays.
• If the optional CPI pedestal stand (membrane console) is to be used for the console mounting, follow
the mounting instructions supplied with the stand.
Membrane Console
Note: Some jurisdictions require that the console PREP and EXPOSE buttons be disabled if a hand
switch is used. This is done by removing JW1 and JW2 from the console board as described below.
1. Turn the console upside down and place it on a clean, non-abrasive surface.
2. Remove and set aside the screws securing the console base to the molded case, and the
hardware from the console ground stud.
3. Remove the console base (the metal bottom panel with the feet attached).
4. Locate and then remove JW1 and JW2 from the console board. Refer to the appropriate figure in
chapter 1, in the section GENERATOR LAYOUT AND MAJOR COMPONENTS.
5. Do not discard the jumpers that were removed in the previous step. These will need to be
reinstalled if the console PREP and EXPOSE buttons must be enabled in the future.
6. Reinstall the console base by reversing the previous steps.
Touchscreen Console
The touchscreen base is shipped as a separate item, and must be attached to the touchscreen console
before continuing with the installation. A Phillips screwdriver is required to attach the base to the
touchscreen console. A hex key has been included to adjust the tension on the tilt-arm mechanism.
1. Carefully unpack the touchscreen console and the desk-mount base components and set the
SGhealthcare 145
packaging aside. Verify that all components are undamaged.

2. Place the touchscreen console facedown on a FLAT, CLEAN, NON-ABRASIVE surface.
3. Note the two sets of VESA (Video Equipment Standards Association) mounting holes on the back
plate and on the touchscreen console. One set of holes is spaced at 100 mm, and the other set is
spaced at 75 mm. CPI recommends the use of the 100 mm spaced VESA holes. Line up the back
plate with the touchscreen (observe orientation). Attach the base using the screws provided. See
figure 2-1.
Position the touchscreen console in its intended location and ensure that it is stable.
• The touchscreen console must be placed on a solid and level surface. There must be no risk of it
tipping or falling, especially if raised to its maximum viewing height.
• Ensure that the display is positioned at a height and angle to allow for easy viewing.
2.5.3 Anchoring the Generator to the Floor
If it is desired to anchor the generator to the floor, refer to chapter 1. This should not be done until all
cable hookups to the generator are completed.
SGhealthcare 146
2.6.0 WIRING TO THE GENERATOR
Unless specified otherwise, all cables (except AC mains) should be routed into the generator main
cabinet through the cable access slots at the upper rear of the generator. The cables should be secured
to the lip on the inside of the cable access slots using tie-wraps or equivalent fasteners. For connections
that must be made to the H.V. auxiliary board, AEC board, or to the generator control board, route the
cables over the top of the fan-mounting bracket and over the chassis divider panel.
The AC mains cable is routed into the generator via the cable clamp on the rear of the generator,
adjacent to the main fuses.
All cables should be kept away from high voltage areas in the cabinet, and dressed neatly in
place. Cables should be cut to the correct length if possible, as excess cabling may contribute to EMI/RFI
problems. For those cables that cannot be cut to the correct length (HT cables and console cables for
example), try to minimize the area inside of any loops of excess cable, as these loops can create an
antenna.
Ferrules should be used on the ends of all stranded wires that are connected to terminal
connections in the generator. These must be supplied by the installer.
EXCESS LENGTHS OF CABLING MUST NEVER BE BUNDLED UP AND STORED INSIDE THE GENERATOR.
Membrane Console
1. Note the protective cover connected to the console cable. This is intended to protect the console
cable connectors during shipping and while routing the console cable during installation.
Disconnect the generator end of the cable (the end with the ferrite bead) from the protective
cover, and then route the end of the cable with the protective cover attached as required.
Remove and discard the protective cover when finished. After removing the protective cover,
inspect the console cable connectors for any damage. Please see figure 2-2 for an example of
such damage.
2. Route the generator end of the console cable into the generator cabinet via the cable access slot
nearest to the generator control board. The cable must be routed as per figure 2-3. Connect the
generator end of the console cable to J3 on the generator control board.
3. Connect the free end of the console cable to J8 at the rear of the console. Leave sufficient slack
in the cabling to the console to allow for future service and maintenance.

SGhealthcare 147
2. Connect the free end of the console cable to GEN on the rear of the touchscreen console. Leave
sufficient slack in the cabling to the console to allow for future service and maintenance.
3. Tighten the screw locks to fully secure the “D” connectors.
4. Connect one end of the supplied ground wire to the touchscreen console ground screw, shown in
figure 2-4. Connect the other end of the ground wire to the ground connector near the main line
fuses in the generator (figure 2-8). Dress the ground wire away from high voltage areas in the
generator. This ground location may have other ground wires already connected; ensure that
these existing ground wires are not disconnected when making the X-ray tube ground connection.
Note that this ground wire is required for EMC compliance only. It has no safety impact.
5. Optional: Connect customer-supplied speakers (minimum 8 ohms) to LO (3.5 mm stereo jack) on
the rear of the touchscreen console (do not use externally amplified speakers). Use cable ties to
secure the speaker cable to the console cable for support. Pins 1 and 2 (left and right) on the 3.5
mm male stereo jack must be shorted together on the cable that plugs into the touchscreen
console.
Please note that connecting external speakers will disable one of the on-board touchscreen
speakers.
Mini-Console (optional)
2. Connect the free end of the console cable to the 15-pin male connector that is attached to the
short piece of console cable connected to the mini-console. Tighten the screw locks to fully
secure the “D” connectors on the console cable.
3. An extra cable (9-pin ‘D’ to RJ45) is included with the optional mini-console. This must be
connected from the standard serial port (9-pin ‘D’ connector) on the imaging computer to
J3 on the generator control board on any DR systems that require serial communication
with the generator.

The X-ray tube should be mounted in its normal fixture i.e. tube stand or other device.
1 Verify that the HT cable terminations are clean, in good condition, and coated with vapor proof
compound.
2. Remove the dust caps that cover the high voltage terminals on the HT tank.
3. Connect the anode and cathode cables to the HT tank. Ensure that the cables are plugged into
the proper connectors on the HT tank. Refer to figure 2-9.
4. Be sure that the HT cable connectors are tight and there is no play between the connector
insulator and the screw-down ring.
2.6.7 X-Ray Tube Housing Ground
In addition to the X-ray tube manufacturers recommended tube grounding procedure, a separate ground wire
(10 AWG, 6mm2) must be connected from the X-ray tube housing to one of the ground studs on the HT tank.
Refer to figure 2-9 for the location of these ground studs. These ground locations may have other ground wires
already connected; ensure that these existing ground wires are not disconnected when making the X-ray tube
ground connection.
Failure to make this ground connection may result in intermittent operation and/or exposure errors.
2.6.8 Room Equipment
Refer to chapter 3C for connection of Buckys, interlocks, room lights, the DR imaging system (if
applicable), DAP, collimator lamp and system locks power, and to chapter 3D for installation and
calibration of AEC. It is suggested that these items not be connected until the initial run-up of the
generator is complete, and the tube auto calibration routine has been performed as described near the
end of this chapter.
2.6.9 Emergency Power Off / Power Distribution Relay
To connect an external emergency power-off switch, disconnect the jumper from J2-1 to J2-2 on the
generator control board. Then connect the emergency-off switch to J2-1 and J2-2. Refer to MD-0928 in
SGhealthcare 155
chapter 9.
For installations where installer-supplied auxiliary power distribution circuits are added to the
generator, 24 VDC is available on the generator interface board to drive the coil of the power distribution relay.
Connect the coil to J2-3 (+) and J2-4 (ground). Refer to MD-0927 in chapter 9.
The maximum current available from this source is 100 mA.
2.6.10 Safety Interlocks
The room door interlock switch must be wired to the generator as described in Inputs in chapter 3C
before the generator is powered up. This switch must provide an open contact when the door is open.
2.7.0 LOW SPEED STARTER TUBE COMPATIBILITY
Before continuing, note the part number of the H.V. auxiliary board in the generator. Part numbers
739442-00 / 739445-00 have 33 μF of phase-shift capacitance, and are compatible with the type “R”
stator tubes listed in Table 1 of X-Ray Tube Stator Compatibility Tables Supplement 746026-00. Part
numbers 739442-01 / 739445-01 have 45 μF of phase-shift capacitance, and are compatible with GE
23/23 Ω type stators, some Siemens and some Toshiba tubes as listed in the referenced Table 1.
Confirm that the boost voltage is set correctly for the selected tube type per the referenced Table 1 before
continuing. The procedure for setting the boost voltage is detailed in 2.7.1. The boost voltage may be
measured from F6 to F7 on the H.V. auxiliary board.
If the desired tube type is not listed, please contact CPI product support for assistance.
Confirm proper stator operation using a suitable tachometer before making any exposures.
2.7.1 Setting 120 / 240 VAC Boost Voltage
Follow the steps below to verify and configure the low speed starter boost voltage. This is factory
configured to 240 VAC.
1 Confirm the required boost voltage for the selected tube as described above. The requirement for
the vast majority of tubes in Table 1 of the supplement is 240 V. For tubes that require 120 V
boost, this is noted in the table.
2. The boost voltage is configured via jumpers on the H.V. auxiliary board:
• E16 to E15 selects 240 V boost.
• E14 to E15 selects 120 V boost.
Swap the connection at E14 and E16 if the boost voltage needs to be changed. The jumper wire
(E16 - E15 or E14 - E15) will need to be replaced if making this change. Extra jumper wires are
attached to a bag on the lip on the inside of the cable access slot above the HT tank. Select the
shortest wire from this bag that will connect between the desired tabs on the board that has the
proper terminations on the jumpers. Do not discard the existing jumper; place it in the jumper kit
to be available for future configuration changes.
Proceed to the next step if the jumper setting is correct.
SGhealthcare 156
3. Confirm the proper boost voltage and proper anode rotation as described above.
2.8.0 PROGRAMMING THE DUAL-SPEED STARTER
This section applies only to units fitted with the dual-speed starter.
The dual-speed starter must be programmed for the X-ray tube type used at this site. This is done via DIP
switch SW1 on the dual speed starter board.
The following tube functions are set with this switch:
• High-speed start and run voltages.
• Low-speed start and run voltages.
• Brake time and brake voltage (high speed).
• Boost times.
• Boost time increments. Boost time may be increased in 100 ms steps in the range of 100 to 700 ms.
2.8.1 EPROM type / dual speed starter
1. The dual-speed starter EPROM is different for 400 V units and for 480 V units. If a 400 V unit is
reconfigured for 480 V, or a 480 V unit is reconfigured for 400 V, the dual speed starter EPROM
will need to be changed. A spare EPROM (the complement of the EPROM that is in the dual
speed starter) is in a bag attached to the lip on the inside of the cable access slot above the HT
tank. Refer to chapter 6 for the EPROM replacement procedure, and to the table below for the
applicable EPROM part numbers.
2. If you are making the conversion as per the previous step, use an indelible marker to change the
part number of the dual-speed starter assembly (901297-XX to 901298-XX, or vice-versa). The
dual-speed starter part number is printed on a label near the top left side of the dual speed starter
chassis. Keeping the dual-speed starter part number current will maintain configuration control of
the product.
SGhealthcare 157
2.8.2 Setting tube type
1. Select the desired tube type from Table 2 of X-Ray Tube Stator Compatibility Tables Supplement
746026-00. Record the tube type number (housing and insert) and the binary code as per the
third column in the table. Please note that the tube compatibility applies only to the housing and
inserts listed, i.e. for the specific manufacturer(s) shown.
2. If the desired tube type is not listed, please contact CPI product support for assistance.
3. The dual-speed starter used in CMP 200® DR X-ray generators will be either part number
901297-02, 12, 13, 15 or 16 (400 VAC units) or 901298-02, 12, 13, 15 or 16 (480 VAC units).
The “-02” dual-speed starter has a 60 μF low-speed capacitor, and a 20 μF high-speed capacitor.
The “-12” dual-speed starter will automatically select either a 36 μF or 37.5 μF low-speed
capacitor for low-speed operation, and will automatically select 6 μF or 7.5 μF for high-speed
operation, based on the setting of SW1.
The “-13” dual-speed starter has a 30 μF low-speed capacitor, and, will automatically select 5 μF
or 6 μF for high-speed operation.
The “-15” dual-speed starter has a jumper-selectable 15.5 μF or 28 μF low-speed capacitor, and
an automatically selected 3 μF or 6 μF high-speed capacitor.
The “-16” dual-speed starter will automatically select either a 31 μF or 37.5 μF low-speed
capacitor for low-speed operation, and will automatically select 6 μF or 12.5 μF for high-speed
operation.
The stated capacitor values are equivalent capacitor values, and are derived from several
combinations of relay-selected series / parallel discrete capacitors, depending on the part
number. Refer to MD-0924 in chapter 9 for details.
4. To determine if the dual-speed starter contained within your generator is compatible with the
desired tube as selected in step 1, note the part number of the dual-speed starter in your
generator. This is printed on a label near the top left side of the dual speed starter chassis. This
part number must appear in the last column of Table 2 in X-Ray Tube Stator Compatibility Tables
Supplement 746026-00.
5. Refer to figure 2-10. Set DIP switch SW1 with the binary code for the selected tube. The binary
code shown in the referenced Table 2 programs the tube type (housing and insert), for example
housing type Varian Sapphire with standard “R” stator and inserts per Table 2 requires SW1-1 to
be set ON, SW1-2 OFF, SW1-3 ON, SW1-4 OFF and SW1-5 OFF. This programs the voltages,
brake times, and boost times required.
Additionally, SW1-6 to SW1-8 may be set to give incremental increases in boost time over the
preselected values (i.e. to run an older tube with worn bearings). For example, binary 000 gives
zero increase, binary 001 gives 100 ms increase, binary 100 gives 400 ms increase, and binary
111 gives a 700 ms increase in boost time. SW1-6 represents bit 1, SW1-7 bit 2, and SW1-8
represents bit 3.
EXAMPLE:
Binary 100 = decimal 4 = 400 ms incremental boost time increase:
1 0 0
Bit 3 Bit 2 Bit 1
SW1-8 SW1-7 SW1-6
6. The DIP switch setting shown in figure 2-10 is for the example in step 5 with an incremental
increase in boost time of 200 ms.
7. Please confirm all settings using a suitable tachometer to ensure proper anode RPM
before making any exposures.
THE DIP SWITCH SHOWN IN FIGURE 2-10 IS REPRESENTATIVE OF ONE STYLE OF SWITCH ONLY. DEPENDING
ON MANUFACTURER, YOUR DIP SWITCH STYLE MAY VARY.
SGhealthcare 158
PLEASE NOTE THE ON / OFF POSITIONS CAREFULLY FOR YOUR UNIT.
2.8.3 Configuring dual speed starter 901297-15 / 901298-15
Dual speed starter part number 901297-15 / 901298-15 is a special configuration in which the low-speed
phase shift capacitors may be set to 15.5 uF or 28 uF. The 15.5 uF setting is intended for use in
installations where low-speed operation of CGR (GE) Statorix tubes is required. The high-speed
capacitance is automatically selected to either 3 uF or 6 uF according to the DIP switch setting.
Refer to figure 2-11. In configuration “A”, (28 uF) two leads are connected to the lower right capacitor.
Thus, the capacitor is in-circuit in this configuration. Configuration “B” (15.5 uF) has one of the leads
removed from the terminals of this capacitor, thus the capacitor is out of the circuit.
• To change from configuration “A” to “B”, disconnect the interconnecting lower lead from the lower
left capacitor in figure 2-11, and connect it to the same terminal on the lower right. This removes the
lower right capacitor from the circuit.
• To change from configuration “B” to “A” in figure 2-11, reconnect the lead between the two capacitors,
as shown. This connects the capacitor into the circuit.
After the phase shift capacitors are correctly configured, set the DIP switches as follows:
• Locate the desired tube in table 2 of supplement 746026, which follows Chapter 2. With dual speed
SGhealthcare 159
starter 901297-15 / 901298-15 set to configuration “A”, this starter is compatible with all tubes
requiring a 3 uF or 6 uF high-speed shift capacitor (unless indicated otherwise) and a 28, 30 or 31 uF
low-speed shift capacitor. When set to configuration “B”, it is only compatible with tubes requiring a 3
uF or 6 uF high-speed shift capacitor (unless indicated otherwise) and a 15.5 uF low-speed shift
capacitor.
• Note the DIP switch setting for the desired tube as per table 2.
• Set the DIP switches as per 2.8.2.
SGhealthcare 160
2.9.0 DIP SWITCH SETTINGS
Before continuing, verify the DIP switch settings on the generator control board. These switches have
been factory set but may have been readjusted, particularly if this generator is a re-install.
GENERATOR CONTROL BOARD:
• Verify the settings on S3. Refer to the table below for the proper settings for this switch.
2.10.0 INITIAL RUN-UP
This section describes the procedure for auxiliary transformer line voltage tap selection, and for initial
power-on of the generator after it has first been installed.
PLEASE OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING POINTS REGARDING THE MAIN DISTRIBUTION
TRANSFORMER:
• IF USING A DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMER WITH AN ISOLATED SECONDARY, THE
SECONDARY WINDING MUST BE A WYE (STAR) CONFIGURATION WITH THE CENTER
POINT GROUND-REFERENCED. DO NOT USE A DELTA-CONFIGURED SECONDARY, AS
THERE IS NO GROUND REFERENCE IN THIS CONFIGURATION.
• IF USING AN AUTOTRANSFORMER TYPE DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMER, THE A.C.
INPUT TO THE TRANSFORMER MUST BE GROUND-REFERENCED.
2.10.1 Auxiliary Transformer Line Voltage Tap Selection
For 208 / 230 V generators, the line voltage taps on the auxiliary transformer must be checked before
powering up the generator.
For 400 / 480 V generators, the auxiliary transformer line voltage tap is factory set to match the line
voltage that was specified at the time of the order. If these units are to be operated from other than the
rated line voltage (i.e. if a 400 V generator is to be operated from 480 V mains), the line voltage tap on
the auxiliary transformer must be changed as described below.
For 208 / 230 VAC generators:

1. Verify that the mains voltage and current capacity is correct for the generator installation per
Generator Power Requirements in chapter 1.
2. Locate the auxiliary transformer inside the generator cabinet. Refer to chapter 1.
3. Note the line-voltage tap position on this transformer as determined by the location of the wire on
the 208V or the 240V tap on the transformer primary. This is normally set to the 240V tap. Refer
to figure 2-12.
4. Based on the nominal line voltage, set the transformer primary voltage tap as follows:
• Loosen the clamping screws for the current line-voltage tap, and for the required line-voltage
tap.
• Connect to the 208 V tap if the line voltage is 215 VAC or less.
SGhealthcare 161
• Connect to the 240 V tap if the line voltage is 216 VAC or higher.
• Retighten both of the clamping screws.
For 400 / 480 VAC generators:

The 400 / 480 V tap setting only needs to be changed if a 400 V generator is to be operated from 480 V
mains, or if a 480 V generator is to be operated from 400 V.
1. Verify that the mains voltage and current capacity is correct for the generator installation per
GENERATOR POWER REQUIREMENTS in chapter 1.
2. Locate the auxiliary transformer inside the generator cabinet. Refer to chapter 1.
3. Note the line-voltage tap position on this transformer as determined by the location of the wire on
the 400V or the 480V tap on the transformer primary. This is set to the 400 or 480V tap to match
the line voltage specified at the time of the order. Refer to figure 2-12.
4. Based on the nominal line voltage, set the transformer primary voltage tap as follows:
• Loosen the clamping screws for the current line-voltage tap, and for the required line-voltage
tap.
• Connect to the 400 V tap if the line voltage is nominally 400 VAC.
• Connect to the 480 V tap if the line voltage is nominally 480 VAC.
• Retighten both of the clamping screws.
2.10.2 Initial Voltage Measurements
1. If the mains supply is compatible with the generator, switch on the main breaker and / or the
disconnect switch and check for the following voltages:
SGhealthcare 162
2. Measure and record the voltage across the main line fuses in the generator. Single-phase units
will only use one set of voltage measurements.
L1 phase to L2 phase: ______ VAC. L1 phase to ground: ______ VAC.

3. Are the line-to-line and line-to-ground voltages within specification for the unit? For single phase
230 V units, the line to ground voltage should be 99 – 127 V. For 3 phase units, the phase to
ground voltage should be 114 – 146 V for 208 / 230 V units, 230 V ± 10 % for 400 V units, and
277 V ± 10 % for 480 V units.
___ Check
4. Confirm that the auxiliary transformer line voltage taps are set to the appropriate position as per
the measured line voltage.
___ Check
5. If a 400 V unit with the optional dual-speed starter is reconfigured for 480 V, or a 480 V unit is
reconfigured for 400 V, the dual speed starter EPROM will need to be changed as described in

2.11.0 TUBE mA AUTO CALIBRATION
It is recommended that the generator be tested at this point with only the X-ray tube and rotor / hightension
cables connected.
The generator should be able to complete an X-ray tube seasoning and calibration cycle without other
equipment connected to the generator (other than the basic interlocks asnoted below). This will allow for
easier fault isolation as each section of the system is connected and tested.
Before being able to make X-ray exposures, the room door interlock must be closed and the thermal switch
must be closed. The interlocks cannot be deprogrammed during tube mA auto calibration.
It is recommended that the tube(s) be conditioned (seasoned) before beginning tube auto calibration,
particularly if the tube has not been used for some time. Refer to chapter 6.
Before beginning tube auto calibration, the tube(s) used in this installation must be properly
selected, and the generator limits should be programmed. Refer to chapter 3C.
2.12.0 FINAL CHECKS

The room interface connections may now be completed. These items are described in 2.6.8.
• When finished all wiring, check that all connections are tight and secure.
• Check that all cables are dressed neatly inside the main cabinet, and secured as necessary.
• Reconnect any grounds that have been removed from covers. Then reinstall all covers before
Placing the generator into service.
• For units with the touchscreen console, perform touchscreen calibration. Refer to chapter 3C for
theproper calibration procedure.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This supplement contains the X-Ray Tube Stator Compatibility Tables for the Low Speed Starter and the
Dual Speed Starter.
2.0 LOW SPEED STARTER TUBE SELECT TABLE
The boost voltage may be set to either 240 VAC (factory default) or 120 VAC. This should be set to 240 VAC,
except where specifically noted in Table 1 below. The Low Speed Starter output is at the same frequency as
the AC line (50 Hz or 60 Hz).
The Low Speed Starter (LSS) is a separate sub-assembly within the Indico 100 Generator. The Low Speed
Starter part number corresponds to the value of phase-shift capacitors installed. The boost time is selectable
to either 1.5 seconds or 2.5 seconds, and the run voltage is selectable to any of 52 VAC, 73 VAC or 94 VAC.
The Low Speed Starter is integrated into the H.V. Auxiliary Board within the CMP 200 and CMP 200 DR
generators. The H.V. Auxiliary Board part number corresponds to the AC line voltage and the value of phase-
shift capacitors installed. These generators do not use a separate run voltage, instead cycling the boost voltage
on/off as required. The boost duty cycle is not hardware-configurable.

CHAPTER 3
INTERFACING, PROGRAMMING, AND
CALIBRATION
3.0.0 INTRODUCTION
3.1.0 Purpose
This chapter describes the interfacing of the CMP 200® and CMP 200® DR X-ray generators to Bucky’s,
interlocks, collimator lamp, etc, and to the AEC chambers (if the AEC option is fitted).
Generator programming and AEC calibration is also covered in this chapter.
This chapter contains the following sections.
SGhealthcare 194
3C.1.0 INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the interfacing of the CMP 200® and CMP 200® DR X-ray generators to Bucky(s),
interlocks, room lights, a DR imaging system (if applicable), DAP, collimator lamp and tube stand locks, and
also describes the generator programming.
3C.2.0 WIRING TO INPUTS & OUTPUTS
3C.2.1 Inputs
The Bucky inputs, interlock 1 and interlock 2 / tomo inputs, and room door interlock inputs are opto coupled.
This means that a relay contact, transistor, or other low-impedance switching device (≤ 100 Ω, 10 mA current
rating) must be connected across each of these inputs. Table 3C-1 defines the pin outs, polarity at the
terminals and the logic condition required for that input. If using a directional switching device, such as a
transistor, the polarity of the voltage seen by the switching device must be observed. This is shown in the table
below.
Refer also to figure 3C-1. This is a pictorial drawing of the J2, J4, and J11 inputs and outputs on the H.V.
auxiliary board.
Refer to 3C.2.4 for details on AEC connections.
SGhealthcare 195
3C.2.1 Inputs (Cont)
* These inputs are meant for dry contacts only. Do not apply any voltage source to these inputs.
3C.2.2 Outputs
Table 3C-2 shows the Bucky and auxiliary power outputs from the generator. Refer also to figure 3C-1.
3C.2.2 Outputs (Cont)
NOTE: The generator is factory configured to supply 110 VAC to drive the Buckys. The Bucky outputs
may be reconfigured to supply 24 VDC or 220 VAC if required, as described in chapter 8. Please
confirm compatibility with the Buckys used in this installation before proceeding. For tomo
operation, the applicable Bucky outputs must be programmed as necessary.
SGhealthcare 196
The BUCKY 1 START and TOMO / BUCKY 2 START relays K1 and K3 on the H.V. auxiliary board have
provisions for R-C snubber circuits to be connected across these relays. For older Buckys that typically
have relay inputs, the R-C snubber circuits usually need to be connected. These snubbers attenuate the
dV/dT transients that are generated when the corresponding relay in the Bucky opens.
For newer Buckys with opto-coupler inputs, the R-C snubber circuits across relays K1 and K3 on the
H.V.auxiliary board should remain disconnected, as the leakage current through the R-C snubber can be
sufficient to energize the opto-couplers in the Bucky(s) when the corresponding relays on the H.V
auxiliary board are open.
FOR OLDER BUCKYS WITH RELAY INPUTS:
• Refer to the table below and to MD-0930 in chapter 9. The required resistors (R2, R15) must be
installed to complete the R-C snubber circuit.
FOR NEWER BUCKYS WITH OPTO-COUPLER INPUTS:
• No action required. Resistors R2 and R15 are NOT factory installed, therefore the R-C snubber is
open-circuit. It is the responsibility of the installer to provide the proper interfacing circuits to the
opto coupler(s) in these types of installations.
The resistors that must be installed to complete the R-C snubber circuits across K1 and K3 on the H.V.
auxiliary board are shown below. Kits with these resistors are available from CPI Product Support. The kit part
number is 90301600.

3C.2.4 AEC Interconnect
Refer to chapter 3D for an overview of AEC theory, for AEC chamber connections, and for the AEC calibration
procedure.
3C.2.5 DR imaging system
CMP 200® DR X-ray generators are factory-configured to interface with one or more DR imaging systems.
Refer to the compatibility statement in chapter 1 to determine which DR imaging system(s) this model of
generator is compatible with. The DR imaging system is connected to 37-pin “D” connector J25 on the
generator control board. The corresponding digital imaging supplement will be included in the front of this
manual. Refer to that supplement for the installation and setup procedure of the DR imaging system.
3C.3.0 GENERATOR PROGRAMMING
If you are using a membrane console, the generator may be programmed and calibrated via the control
console or via GenWare® MP (PC). When using the console for programming and calibration, all
programming / calibration menus are displayed on the LCD display window on the console. The “soft key”
buttons on the console are used to navigate through the programming screens and to select and enter values
in this section.
When using the touchscreen console, the generator must be programmed and calibrated via
GenWare® MP (touchscreen). This requires the GenWare® utility software, which can be accessed via
the GenWare® button in the System Utilities menu. Alternately, GenWare® MP (PC) may be used to
program the generator if desired.

* The stated maximum kW limits apply at the 100 ms point on the X-ray tube load ratings curve.
Increasing or decreasing the kW limits will shift the entire curve up or down proportionately to the
percentage kW change.
Use these steps to select the desired tube type.
SGhealthcare 215
When the desired tube is selected, the default limits are displayed (membrane console). Please consult the
Xray tube data sheet(s) before making any changes.
The dual speed starter operates at 60 or 180 Hz (50 or 150 Hz for some tube types) independent of line
frequency.
The low speed starter operates at 50 Hz for 50 Hz mains, or 60 Hz for 60 Hz mains. The generator samples the
line frequency via a zero-crossing detector on the generator interface board. Therefore, for
units fitted with a low speed starter, the generator automatically derates the 60 Hz tube ratings for 50 Hz
operation if required.
PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE ANY DEFAULTS UNLESS THE IMPACT OF THOSE CHANGES IS CLEARLY
UNDERSTOOD. INITIAL CALIBRATION SHOULD BE PERFORMED USING THE DEFAULT VALUES.
Use these steps to set the tube limits and the associated parameters. Refer to the definitions in the previous
table.
SGhealthcare 216
Typically, the boost time should be between 200 and 250 msec, and the preheat time should be in the range of
700 - 800 ms.
If in doubt, monitor the filament feedback and be sure that there is no change in the signal level 5 ms. after
the start of an exposure, and that the mA starts at the selected level.
Standby current must be below the emission point.
If the maximum filament current is increased, be careful not to exceed the tube manufacturer’s
specifications.

3C.7.4 I/O Configuration (Cont)
The inputs and outputs defined in the previous table are programmable as follows:
• Inputs may be programmed such that the selected input is active or inactive during various states of
thegenerator. Inactive inputs are ignored; unused inputs should normally be programmed to be
inactive.
• Outputs may be programmed such that the relay connected to the selected output is energized or
Deenergized during various states of the generator. Unused outputs should normally be programmed
to be de-energized.
• The inputs and outputs must be programmed separately for each receptor. Each receptor may have its
own unique programming.
MEMBRANE CONSOLE
The STATE button on the upper right hand side of the menu selects the current state. The word STATE is
preceded by the description of the state: for example, STANDBY.
The arrow in the lower middle area points to the current level for the selected state. Moving to the next
state is accomplished by pressing the STATE button. The states are as follows.
• STANDBY Sets the state of the I/O when the generator is in standby or idle mode.
• PREP Sets the state of the I/O when the generator enters PREP mode.
• GEN RDY Sets the state of the I/O when the generator has completed PREP mode and is
Ready to expose.
• RAD EXP Sets the state of the I/O when the generator starts a radiographic exposure
of the selected state is changed by pressing the selection button again (low = off / inactive, high = on / active).
For inputs, setting the level “low” means that the input is ignored during that state. Setting the level
“high” requires that the corresponding input is satisfied before the generator will advance to that state. For
example, if the door interlock (DOOR ITLK) is set to logic “low” for all states, then an X-ray exposure may be
made without a door interlock closure.
Setting an output level “low” causes the relay associated with that output to be de-energized during
SGhealthcare 232
the selected state. Setting the level “high” will cause the associated relay to be energized during the selected
state. For example, the Bucky 1 “start” output will be disabled if BKY 1 START is set to “low” for all states.
The example below shows a TYPICAL input configuration.
GenWare®
On the Inputs and Outputs tabs, the generator states are shown above the vertical grey / white bars. For
inputs, grey indicates states where the input cannot be programmed. Only states that are shown in white can
be changed. Outputs are programmable for each of the four generator states.
The logic level of the selected state is changed by clicking in the desired state column, to the right of the
selected input or output (unchecked = off / inactive, checked = on / active).
For inputs, an unchecked state means that the input is ignored during that state. A checked state (marked with
an X) requires that the corresponding input be satisfied before the generator will advance to that state.
For outputs, an unchecked state causes the relay associated with that output to be de-energized
during the selected state. A checked state (marked with an X) will cause the associated relay to be energized
during the selected state.
Use these steps for programming the I/O functions. Refer to the definitions in the previous table.
SGhealthcare 233
The input and output programming should be recorded in a copy of the table below. This will provide a record
of the I/O configuration for future reference.

3C.11.0 DAP CALIBRATION
The DAP device must be calibrated before use, and the calibration must be periodically checked as per the DAP
device manufacturers requirements, or as per local regulations.
3C11.1 Equipment Required
The following equipment is required for DAP calibration.

• An X-ray cassette and film. The speed of the film / screen is not relevant, as the film is only used to
determine the area that is irradiated at the dose-measurement plane.
An X-ray cassette and film is the preferred method to measure the irradiated area, but if this is not
readily available, for example if this is a digital only system, a procedure is given to determine the
required area using the imaging system.
• A film processor to develop the film, if required.
• A calibrated dosimeter.
• A ruler or tape measure with centimeter markings. This will be needed to measure the exposed
area of the film. If measuring in inches, use a calculator and multiply inches by 2.54 to obtain the
measurement in centimeters.
3C.11.2 DAP Calibration Overview
The first step involved in calibrating the DAP meter in the generator is to carefully make a dose measurement
at a given distance from the X-ray source. The next step is to expose a test film at the same distance from the
X-ray source as the dose measurement that was just made.
The dose-area product is calculated by multiplying the measured dose, in mGy, by the exposed area
of the film, in cm2. This gives the actual dose-area product, in mGycm2.
After the reference dose-area product is determined as described above, it is compared to the DAP
reading as measured by the generator. Adjustments are made to the CAL. VALUE 1 parameter in the DAP
SETUP menu such that the consoles DAP display corresponds to the calculated dose-area product. This
procedure may need to be repeated several times until the required accuracy is obtained.
The reason the DAP device (a specialized ion chamber) is able to accurately measure the dose-area
product at its location at the bottom of the collimator is that although the radiation level falls off at a rate
inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source, the irradiated area increases as the
square of the distance from the source. For example, by doubling the distance, the dose falls to (½ )2 = ¼ of the
previous dose BUT the area increases to 22 = 4 times the area. Therefore, the dose-area product will remain
constant at a given distance from the source. This is also the reason that care must be taken to ensure that the
area measurement is done at the same distance from the X-ray source as the dose measurement.

3D.2.5 Precalibration Notes
Please note the following points before beginning AEC calibration.
SHOULD AN IMPROPER TECHNIQUE BE SELECTED, OR AN AEC FAULT OCCUR CAUSING NO

AEC FEEDBACK SIGNAL TO THE GENERATOR, THE EXPOSURE WILL TERMINATE AND AN “AEC
DEVICE ERR / AEC FEEDBACK ERROR” MESSAGE WILL BE DISPLAYED IF THE RAMP VOLTAGE
FAILS TO REACH 4% OF THE EXPECTED RAMP VOLTAGE WHEN THE EXPOSURE TIME REACHES
20% OF THE SELECTED BACKUP TIME.
• When using a photo diode for AEC, there is normally no need to iterate all the kV breakpoints
During AEC calibration. It will usually suffice to use the 75 kV breakpoint calibration value at all kV
breakpoints. If doing this, the calibration values should be confirmed at all kV breakpoints using the
acquired digital images.
• For DR applications, the AEC calibration procedure uses the same potentiometers and menus as
described for film in the following sections. However, the imaging system manufacturers literature
should be consulted to determine the required dose / image brightness.
• The generator must be known to be calibrated before beginning AEC calibration.
• All components (X-ray tubes, collimators, AEC chambers, etc) used during AEC calibration must be
those that will be used during procedures, and must be positioned as they will be in actual use of
the X-ray room.
• During AEC calibration, always ensure that the central ray is centered relative to the image receptor.
• Before placing the absorbers, ensure that the collimator is opened sufficiently to irradiate ALL fields
on the AEC pickup device.
• Ensure that the absorber is positioned to fully cover the X-ray field. The absorber must extend a
minimum of 3/8 in. (10 mm) beyond the X-ray field.
• During AEC calibration, all AEC exposures should be done using mA values such that the
exposures are in the 30 to 100 ms range UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE.
• The recommended absorber is water. This should be in a plastic container of uniform thickness.
Lexan of a similar thickness is also a suitable absorber.
• Care must be exercised when using table Buckys with low kV values because most tabletops and
grids absorb considerable radiation in the 60 – 65 kV range. This will adversely affect AEC
operation.
• During AEC calibration, if exposure times do not change if the mA is varied, it may be that
the input signal level to the AEC board is too high. If this is experienced, check the ramp
voltage at the output of the first gain stage (the first operational amplifier output) on the AEC
board for the subject AEC channel. This voltage must never exceed 10 V. If this voltage does
exceed 10 V, reduce the input signal level as required.
3D.2.6 Required Test Equipment
The following test equipment is required for AEC calibration.

• Lexan or equivalent (or water) absorbers in various thicknesses. Water should be in a plastic
Container of uniform thickness.
• Radiation dosimeter for digital applications.
• A supply of film in each film speed that will be calibrated.
• A cassette with intensifying screen in each speed that will be calibrated.

3D.5.0 AEC DENSITY CALIBRATION (Cont)
Figure 3D-7: AEC Setup & Calibration window, Density tab

Please note the following points regarding density calibration:
• Up to eight density plus and eight density minus steps are available. If ± 8 density steps are not
required, the unwanted density steps may be deprogrammed per the procedure below. For example,
if only ± 5 density steps are desired, then density steps ± 6, 7, and 8 may be deprogrammed.
• Once the desired number of ± density steps are known, the relative minimum and maximum mAs
Values must be determined. Typically, the minimum density step will result in half (50%) of the
nominal mAs (dose) and the maximum density step will typically give double (100% increase) the
nominal mAs (dose). The nominal mAs is the value that was recorded at 0 density in table 3D-9.
• The relative mAs change per density step must be determined next. To do this, note the relative
minimum and maximum mAs as determined above (i.e. 50% at min density and 100% increase at
max density), then calculate the number of - density steps and the number of + density steps that
will be required.
The relative mAs change between density steps will then be the minimum density (i.e. 50) divided
by the number of density minus steps or the maximum density (i.e. 100) divided by the number of
density plus steps. This will yield the required mAs increment for each density minus step and for each
density plus step respectively.
For ± 8 density steps, this gives a mAs decrease of 6.25% per density minus step (8 steps x 6.25%
per step = 50% mAs at -8 density) or a mAs increase of 12.5% per density plus step (8 steps x 12.5%
per step = 100% mAs increase at +8 density).
Refer to table 3D-10 for two typical examples of density steps vs. calibration numbers. For 8 minus density
steps the mAs decrease is 6.25% per step, and for 8 + density steps the mAs increase is 12.5% per step as per
the example calculation above.
For 5 minus density steps the mAs decrease is 10% per step, and for 5 + density steps the mAs increase is 20%
per step.

3D.6.0 AEC CALIBRATION (WALL BUCKY)
Figure 3D-8: Equipment setup for wall Bucky AEC calibration

Please note the following points regarding wall Bucky calibration:
• If the wall Bucky is dedicated to chest radiography, a focused grid with a 10:1 or 12:1 ratio should
Be used along with an SID of 72 in. (180 cm).
• If the wall Bucky will be used for conventional as well as chest radiography, then two grids should
ideally be used. See the note on the next page.
A reasonable compromise if a single grid must be used is a 10:1 ratio, 60 in. (150 cm) grid.

CALIBRATION VALUES IN THE AEC CALIBRATION MENU FOR PREVIOUSLY CALIBRATED FILM SCREENS.
THE MEMORY FUNCTION THAT WAS TEMPORARILY CHANGED TO OFF EARLIER IN THIS
CHAPTER MAY NOW BE RESET TO THE DESIRED VALUE.
3D.8.0 AEC OVERVIEW AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION
AEC exposures should normally be kept well under one second. When X-ray techniques are used that result in
longer exposures, the film density will not be correct due to failure of reciprocity of the film.
Care must be exercised when using low kV values with table Buckys because most tabletops and grids
absorb considerable radiation in the range of 60 – 65 kV. This will adversely affect AEC operation.
3D.8.1 Film/Screen Response vs. kV
constant film density as kV is changed for different anatomical studies. By selecting and calibrating various kV
breakpoints, the overall system response will be compensated such as to yield a constant film density.
Up to eight breakpoints per film screen combination are available. The eight breakpoints are spread
over three kV ranges as shown below:
• Low kV: 50, 55, 65 kV.
• Knee kV: 75 kV.
• High kV: 85, 95, 110, 130 kV.
Figure 3D-9: kV vs. relative density

3D.8.2 AEC Calibration Range
Since the CMP 200® family of X-ray generators allows for up to three separate film screen combinations to be
calibrated, the following points must be considered:
• The AEC board allows for a zero to a maximum of 10-volt ramp at the comparator input. All AEC
Signals must fit within this range (for all film / screens, densities, and techniques).
• Most X-ray film-based applications require the use of two or more different film screen combinations,
all of which will require different exposure doses.
• Using the slowest film screen combination, the required film input dose will be determined.
• Once this value is determined (during AEC calibration), the density calibration is performed to allow
100% (double the dose) and 50% (half the dose) values. These are typical values, and will determine
the maximum required range of the AEC reference voltage (the output from the D/A converter).

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This supplement describes reproducibility, linearity, and half - value layer (HVL) tests which may be used
to verify performance of medical X-ray generators.
SGhealthcare 318
2.0 EQUIPMENT SETUP

1. Place the radiation probe above the table approximately 25 cm (10”). Select an SID of
Approximately 100 cm (40”).
2. Place a lead diaphragm over the detector and adjust its height so that the X-ray beam covers the
detector but does not over radiate the sides of the probe. Refer to figure 1.
Figure 1: Dose measurement setup

3.0 REPRODUCIBILITY
Calculate reproducibility as follows:
1. Using kV and mA/ms or mAs values per tables 1 to 4, make a series of 5 exposures.
2. Record each of the measured dose values, in mGy, in the appropriate table. Refer to step 3
before starting step 2.
To convert mR to mGy, divide the value in mR by 114.5. This will give the value in mGy.
(for example 114.5 mR = 1 mGy).
3. Record the preselected mAs for each series of exposures in the header of each table. For 3 point
generators, this is the calculated mAs value where mAs = mA X time in seconds (example for
160 mA and 125 ms, mAs = 160 X 0.125 = 20 mAs).
3.0 REPRODUCIBILITY (Cont)
4. Calculate and record the average dose K (kerma) in mGy.

5. Calculate the difference, K – K, for each exposure.
6. Square each difference from the previous step.
7. Calculate the sum of the differences squared.
8. Calculate the standard deviation (S) by using the formula.
SGhealthcare 319
9. Calculate reproducibility by dividing S by K.

10. Table 5 shows example reproducibility calculations.
11. If linearity is to be measured, it is suggested that dose measurements be taken at this time for
entry into tables 6 and 7. Refer to 4.0 LINEARITY for details.
IN TABLES 1 TO 4, 3 POINT MEANS THAT FOR GENERATORS WHERE KV, MA, AND TIME
SELECTION IS AVAILABLE, THE KV, MA AND MS VALUES SHOWN SHOULD BE USED. FOR
GENERATORS WHERE 2 POINT OPERATION ONLY IS AVAILABLE, THE KV AND MAS VALUES
SHOWN SHOULD BE USED.

4.0 LINEARITY
1. Record two additional series of dose measurements for entry into tables 6 and 7:
• For table 6, use settings per table 3 EXCEPT use an mA (or mAs) value adjacent to the mA
(or mAs) setting used in table 3.
• For table 7, use settings per table 4 EXCEPT use an mA (or mAs) value adjacent to the mA
(or mAs) setting used in table 4.
• Record the mAs in the header of tables 6 and 7 as per 3.0 step 3.
1. Calculate and record the average dose K (kerma) in mGy for tables 6 and 7.
2. Record the preselected mAs and the average dose values taken from tables 3 and 4, and from
tables 6 and 7, at the top of the next page.
3. Using the appropriate mAs and K values, calculate X3, X4, X6, and X7 in tables 8 and 9.
4. Calculate the coefficient of linearity, L, as per tables 8 and 9.

5.0 H.V.L. EVALUATION
1. Be sure the X-ray source assembly (X-ray tube and beam limiting device) is fully assembled and
functional.
2. Use the test setup as per figure 1.
3. Set the generator as follows: 3 point generators, 80 kV, 200 mA, 50 ms, large focus. For 2 point
generators use 80 kV, 200 mA if this can be set, and 10 mAs.
4. Take a series of three exposures and record the dose K (kerma) values in mGy in table 10.
Calculate and record the average of the three exposures.
5. Place 2 mm of Al on top of the lead diaphragm (total of 2 mm added), repeat the exposure and
record the K value in table 10.
6. Place an additional 1 mm of Al on top of the lead diaphragm (total of 3 mm added), repeat the
exposure; and record the K value in table 10.
7. Place an additional 3 mm of Al on top of the lead diaphragm (total of 6 mm added), repeat the
exposure; and record the K value in table 10.
8. The relative transmission for the average of the three K values where no Al was added is
assigned a value of 1.00. Using that base, assign relative transmission values to the remaining K
values. For example, if the average K value was 2.15 and has a relative transmission factor of
1.00, then 1.41 mGy will have a relative transmission of 1.41 / 2.15 = 0.66.
9. Plot the relative transmission values in figure 1. This should produce a straight line on the graph
since the X-axis is logarithmic.
10. Interpolate to determine the HVL. The Al thickness at a relative transmission of 0.5 will be the
required HVL value.
11. Repeat steps 4 to 10: 3 point generators, 100 kV, 200 mA, 50 ms, large focus. For 2 point
generators use 100 kV, 200 mA if this can be set, and 10 mAs. Use table 11 to record the values
and figure 2 to plot the results
12. Table 12 and figure 3 show example HVL determination.
Table 10: HVL dose values 80 kVp
Figure 1: HVL plot 80 kVp
SGhealthcare 324
For 80 kVp, the HVL must be ≥ 2.9 mm Al.
Table 11: HVL dose values 100 kVp
Figure 2: HVL plot 100 kVp

For 100 kVp, the HVL must be ≥ 3.6 mm Al.
Table 12: HVL dose values (example)
SGhealthcare 325
Figure 3: HVL plot (example)

By interpolating the thickness of Al at a relative transmission value of 0.5, it can be seen that the HVL is
approximately 3.3.

* The generator purges the existing X-ray tube auto calibration data before starting the auto
Calibration routine and saving new calibration data. Therefore, auto calibration should be a last
resort during general troubleshooting, and should only be done to recalibrate the tube. For
example, if a low mA fault is presented, you should ensure that the generator is fully functional,
and actually needs recalibration. If calibration is attempted on a partially functional generator,
the auto calibration routine may be aborted before any calibration is done, and the generator
will inhibit further exposures until the selected mA is calibrated for the selected kV.
1. For an APR MEMORY ERROR fault, the console factory defaults must be restored or the APR must
be restored via GenWare®. The procedure for resetting console factory defaults is described in
chapter 6.
5.3.0 MISCELLANEOUS FAULTS

5.3.1 Erratic Console Faults
SYMPTOM: In some environments that are “electrically noisy”, the console may exhibit erratic faults
i.e. RAM data error, intermittent loss of communication, or random fault messages may
be displayed.
SOLUTION: Connect a separate ground wire, #14 AWG (2.3 mm2) or larger from the ground stud on
the rear of the console (marked CONSOLE GROUND in the figure “Rear of control console”
in chapter 2) to the ground stud located beside the main input fuse block. This is marked
GROUND CONNECTION in the figure “Generator mains connection” in chapter 2.
SYMPTOM: In some situations the touchscreen console may appear “frozen”. i.e. cannot activate any
of the buttons on the touch sensitive screen. This may be a case of the touchscreen
calibration being significantly out of alignment.
SOLUTION: Connect a USB keyboard to the rear of the touchscreen and simultaneously press Alt + C.
This will activate the touchscreen calibration sequence. Refer to Chapter 3C for the
procedure to complete this sequence.

CHAPTER 6
REGULAR MAINTENANCE
6.1.0 INTRODUCTION
This chapter provides a recommended schedule for periodic maintenance of the CMP 200® series and the CMP
200® DR series of X-ray generators.
The initial installation date and location, and all service performed on the generator, should be
recorded in table 6-1. The record should be as thorough as possible, detailing the scope and type of work that
was performed (all service and a record of all replacement parts that were installed). Additionally, the person
performing the work should date and sign the record.
This information will be invaluable in the future for traceability and to ensure continued compatibility of
the generator.
If a major component (such as the HT oil tank or a major circuit board) is replaced, recalibration will be
needed. A separate procedure will be included with the spare in those cases, detailing the required
calibration procedure. The acceptance test procedure per Chapter 4 should then be performed prior to
placing the generator back into service.

6.3.0 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
SGhealthcare 339
6.4.0 OIL FILL / LEVEL CHECK
CMP 200® / CMP 200® DR X-ray generators use different styles of HT tanks, depending on model. Refer to
figure 6-1. For the HT tank on the right side of figure 6-1, field maintenance is neither necessary nor possible.
The oil is factory-filled to the correct level and the HT tank is then sealed. An air-filled “bladder” within the
tank will expand and contract as the oil volume changes with pressure and temperature changes.
For the HT tank on the left side of figure 6-1, the oil level in the HT tank can be checked in the field and the oil
can be topped up if necessary. Refer to the steps below.
The insulating oil level in the HT tank does NOT require periodic checking under normal conditions. However, if
there is evidence of possible oil loss, the procedure for checking the correct oil level follows.
1. Loosen the oil fill plug screw on the tank lid.

2. With the screw sufficiently loosened, remove the rubber (neoprene) plug.
3. Use a clean ruler, strip of cardboard, or other equivalent material to determine the oil level,
Measured always from the TOP surface of the lid of the HT tank.
• Normally the oil level should be between 0.88 - 1.25 inches (22 - 32 mm) from the top of the tank
lid.
• If the oil level is between 1.25 - 1.6 inches (32 - 41 mm) from the top of the tank lid, then clean oil
should be added as needed.
• If the oil level is greater than 1.6 inches (41 mm) below the top of the tank lid, please consult the
factory.
4. Use only fresh oil, type Shell DIALA AX or equivalent. It is critical that air is not added when topping
Up the oil. The following procedure is strongly recommended when adding oil.
• Use a new clean syringe to remove oil from the container. A 60 cc catheter tip syringe is
recommended. Approximately 60 cc of oil is required to raise the oil level by one millimeter.
• Turn the syringe upright and expel any trapped air.
• Place the tip of the syringe through the oil-fill plug and into the oil, ensuring that it is below the
surface of the oil.
• Gently eject the oil from the syringe into the HT tank, while making sure that the tip of the syringe
remains below the surface of the oil until all of the oil is emptied from the syringe.
• Repeat the previous steps until the required amount of oil has been added.
5. Replace the oil fill plug. Once the plug is installed and the screw is properly seated, tighten the
Screw 4 turns. This will secure the oil fill plug. Wipe up any spills. Dispose of soiled absorber in
Compliance with government requirements, and ensure conformity to local disposal regulations.
THE OIL DOES NOT CONTAIN PCBs.

* Do not adjust SW1 / SW2 on the HT tank (not fitted on all models)
6.5.0 CLEANING
• To clean the console surfaces (without disinfecting) use soap and water. This should be applied
using a lint-free cloth as described below.
• If console surfaces need to be disinfected, use Actichlor or equivalent with a Hypochlorite
concentration of 3 to 5%.
∗ Dilute the disinfectant 50/50 with water.
∗ Spray or dampen a lint-free cloth with the diluted disinfectant. The cloth must be damp only, not
wet.
∗ Gently wipe the console surfaces with the damp cloth.
• Never use any corrosive, solvent or abrasive detergents or polishes.
• Ensure that no water or other liquid can enter any equipment. This precaution prevents short
circuits and corrosion forming on components.
• Methods of disinfection used must conform to legal regulations and guidelines regarding
disinfection and explosion protection.
• If disinfectants are used which form explosive mixtures of gases, these gases must have dissipated
Before switching on the equipment again.
• Disinfection by spraying is not recommended because the disinfectant may enter the X-ray
equipment.
• If room disinfection is done with an atomizer, it is recommended that the equipment be switched
OFF, allowed to cool down and covered with a plastic sheet. When the disinfectant mist has
subsided, the plastic sheet may be removed and the equipment be disinfected by wiping.

7. Reprogram the tube selection to correspond to the connected tube AS PER Tube
Selection /Tube Setup IN CHAPTER 3C OF THIS MANUAL. This information was
initialized when the defaults were selected. This must be done before auto calibration is
started, to prevent damage to the X-Ray tube.
8. PERFORM TUBE AUTO CALIBRATION AS PER Tube Calibration IN CHAPTER 3C OF
THIS MANUAL. This must be done to ensure accuracy of the exposure parameters after
The generator factory defaults have been loaded.
Note: The tube calibration sequence must be completed in full. If tube calibration is interrupted,
The resulting mA / mAs values will be uncalibrated due to invalid calibration data.
This will initialize all generator data to the factory defaults [tube selection, generator
limits (including anode boost time), receptor setup, I/O configuration, AEC setup, AEC
calibration, tube calibration, time & date, error log, statistics and anode heat units].
6.7.0 BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Generator Control Board

The battery on the generator control board powers the Timekeeper SRAM chip U85 when the generator
isswitched off. This contains the real-time clock and the RAM memory that stores the tube heat-unit
calculations.
If the battery voltage drops below acceptable limits, the current date and time, along with the tube heat-
unitcalculations will be lost when the generator is switched off.
The AEC board will need to be temporarily removed to replace the battery, if the AEC option is fitted. Refer to
6.8.0 for the procedure to remove and replace the AEC board.
1. Locate the battery on the generator control board. The battery is contained in a yellow plastic
package that sits on top of the Timekeeper SRAM chip U85, near the middle of the generator
control board.
2. Remove the battery by GENTLY prying between the battery and the generator control board. Be
Very careful not to damage the Timekeeper SRAM chip U85 that is directly under the battery.
3. Insert the replacement battery into the socket on U85. Orient the replacement battery such that
the dot on the corner of the battery is near the dot on the generator control board.
4. A stamp error message may be observed at initial turn-on after replacing the battery. This is
normal at this point and will be cleared by setting the date and time in the next step.
5. Reset the date and time, if required. Refer to chapter 3C for the procedure to do this.

6.9.0 TUBE CONDITIONING / SEASONING
Tube conditioning or “seasoning” is particularly important for new tubes or tubes that have not been used
forseveral days. This should be performed on each X-ray tube before attempting auto calibration, as an
unseasoned tube may not operate properly at higher kV values without arcing. Refer to the X-ray tube
manufacturer’s instructions, if available, for the tube conditioning or “seasoning” procedure. If the X-ray tube
manufacturers instructions are not available, the following procedure may be used:
6.9.1 Tube Conditioning
The generator does X-ray tube auto calibration at 40 kV, 50 kV, 60 kV, 70 kV, 80 kV, 100 kV and 120 kV. The
tube normally needs to be seasoned before it can be operated at the higher voltages encountered during auto
calibration.
Tube seasoning is started by auto calibrating the kV stations up to and including part of the 70 kV
station. The tube is then seasoned at 70 kV. Progressively higher kV stations are then auto calibrated and
seasoned. Finally the entire kV and mA range is auto calibrated, then the tube is seasoned at the remaining
high kV values.
Manually releasing the exposure button during auto calibration of a particular kV station in the
following procedure prevents the generator from attempting operation beyond that kV/mA value.
X-ray tubes that have not been used for more than 8 hours may suffer thermal shock if operated at
high mA and kV without a warm-up procedure. A cold anode (Molybdenum) is very brittle and when
suddenly heated over a small area may experience thermal cracking of the anode surface, eventually
leading to permanent tube damage.
The procedure below is intended for seasoning an X-ray tube prior to attempting tube auto calibration.
Toseason a tube that does not need to be calibrated, follow steps 2, 4, and 6.
X-ray tube seasoning should be done on LARGE focus in order to minimize tube wear.
1. Start the tube auto calibration sequence, and manually terminate the exposure at 70 kV and 250
mA.
2. Season the tube at 70 kV by taking approximately 10 exposures of 200 mA and 100 ms. These
exposures should be taken at the rate of approximately one every 15 seconds.
3. Restart the auto calibration sequence and manually terminate the exposure at 100 kV and 250
mA.
5. Restart the auto calibration sequence and manually terminate the exposure at 120 kV and 160
mA.
7. Restart the auto calibration sequence and allow the auto calibration sequence to complete.
6.10.0 END OF PRODUCT LIFE

Chapter 7
THEORY OF OPERATION
7.1.0 INTRODUCTION
This chapter contains the theory of operation for the CMP 200® and CMP 200® DR X-ray generators.
The theory of operation is organized by functional blocks as per the functional drawings in chapter 9.
7.2.0 FUNCTIONAL THEORY OF OPERATION
Refer to the appropriate functional block diagram in chapter 9 in conjunction with the theory of operation in
this chapter. Waveforms and voltages at the pertinent test points are typically shown on the last page of each
functional drawing.
7.2.1 System ON (MD-0928)
The generator control board on the CMP 200® series of X-ray generators includes power ON and power
OFF switches S1 and S2 that may be used to switch the generator on and off locally while working on the
equipment. These switches are connected in parallel with the generator ON and OFF switches that are
located on the consoles.
Pressing any of the power-ON switches turns on Q5 on the generator control board. This turns on Q6,
holding the collector of Q6 low. This latches Q5 in the “on” state by holding the base of Q5 low when the
ON switch is released.
The collector of Q6 is connected to K1 on the generator control board (MD-0927). K1 will be energized
when the generator is switched on, supplying +24 V to the console.
With Q6 turned on, the base of Q7 is held low, turning Q7 off. The collector of Q7 is connected to the ON / OFF
control pins on the +5 V, +12 V, and +15 V switching regulators on the generator control board
(MD-0927). With Q7 turned off, the regulator control pins will be pulled to a logic high state, enabling the low-
voltage supplies on the generator control board (MD-0927).
In normal operation, a wire jumper is connected between J2-1 and J2-2 on the generator control board.
An emergency-off switch may be connected to the generator by removing the jumper between J2-1 and
J2-2, and then wiring the emergency-off switch to J2-1 and J2-2. If the connection between J2-1 and J2-2
is open-circuit (i.e. no jumper or an open emergency-off switch), K2 will be de-energized as shown. This
holds the base of Q6 low, preventing Q6 from turning on.
A supervisory circuit (not shown) monitors the +1.2 V, +3.3 V, and +5 V DC supplies on the generator
control board. The supervisory circuit releases the CPU reset line when these low voltage DC supplies
are detected at start-up. This causes the CPU to enter its startup sequence. The CPU will initialize itself,
perform its startup diagnostics, and then output a command via U86 and U83 on the generator control
board to energize soft-start contactor K2 on the H.V auxiliary board. The CPU will then wait for
approximately 10 seconds for the output of opto-coupler U5 on the H.V auxiliary board to ramp high,
indicating that the DC bus capacitors are charged. If U5 indicates proper DC bus capacitor charging
within the allotted time, the CPU will output a command to U86 and the driver consisting of Q28, Q29, etc to
energize the main power contactor via the H.V auxiliary board. Soft-start contactor K2 will be deenergized
after a maximum of 10 seconds, as the soft-start circuit is not needed once the DC bus
capacitors are charged.
SGhealthcare 348
If opto-coupler U5 on the H.V auxiliary board does not indicate normal DC bus capacitor charge within the
allowed time limit, an error message will be presented and the turn-on sequence will be aborted.
Pressing any of the power-OFF switches turns on Q4 on the generator control board. This turns off Q5,
turning off Q6. This will de-energize K1 on the generator control board, removing the +24 V supply from
the console. With Q6 turned off, Q7 will turn on, taking the ON / OFF control lines on the +5 V, +12 V, and +15
V regulators low. This disables the switching regulators, shutting down the generator control
functions. The main power contactor will open, removing the AC input to the mains rectifier assembly.
7.2.2 DC bus & power distribution (MD-0927)
Sheet 1 applies to single-phase generators:

Assuming that the AC mains is connected and switched on, line voltage is applied to the primary of the
auxiliary transformer via F8 and F9 on the H.V auxiliary board. This will establish the +/-35 V supplies via
F1 and D1, and the +24 V supply via F2 and F3, and D3 / D4.
When the generator is switched on as described in 7.2.1, +24 V is supplied to the consoles via K1 and F2
on the generator control board. For the membrane console, the +24 V supply is regulated to +5 V and -20V on
the console board (page 4). The touchscreen console is powered from the +24 V supply; on-board regulators
step this down as required by the internal circuits. The low voltage DC supplies on the
generator control board are also established when the generator is switched on, as per 7.2.1.
K2 on the H.V. auxiliary board will be energized when the soft-start command is received from the CPU.
This will pre-charge the DC bus capacitors via F4 and F5, K2, D5 and series current limiting resistors. The
DC bus charging current flows through R17, developing sufficient voltage drop to energize U5. At the start of
DC bus capacitor charging, current through R17 is at its maximum. U5 will be on at all times except near the
zero crossing of the AC current waveform. The output of U5 will as per figure 1 on page 5 of MD-0927 (early
charging). As the bus capacitors approach a fully charged state, the current in R17 will approach zero. U5 will
only be on near the peaks of the AC current waveform, and the output of U5 will as per “nearly finished
charging” in figure 1 on page 5 of MD-0927. When the CPU detects the “nearly finished charging” state via U5,
the main power contactor and the cooling fan will be energized. The line voltage is then rectified by the
chassis-mounted mains rectifier assembly to produce approximately 320 VDC for 230 VAC input. This DC bus
voltage is switched by the inverter board to produce the drive for the primary of the HT transformer as
described in 7.2.5.
LED DS1 on the H.V. auxiliary board confirms the presence of the +24 VDC supply, and DS1 on the EMC
capacitor board indicates that the DC bus is charged.
The BUCKY DRIVE output may be configured for +24 VDC, 110 VAC, or 220 VAC. Connecting E11 to E5
and E7 to E8 supplies +24 VDC, wiring E9 to E5 and E7 to E8 supplies 110 VAC, and jumpering E12 to
E5 and E7 to E8 outputs 220 VAC.
K6 on the H.V. auxiliary board will be energized when the +12 V supply on the generator control board is
present, supplying +24 VDC, 120 VAC, or 240 VAC to the Bucky drive circuits (section 7.2.3).
The low-speed starter boost voltage is jumper selectable to be 120 or 240 VAC. Connecting E16 to E15
selects 240 V boost, and jumpering E14 to E15 selects 120 V boost.
As described in 7.2.1, the +5 V, +12 V, and +15 V switching regulators become operational when the
generator is switched on. The –12 V, +1.2 V, and +3.3 V supplies are derived from the +12 V and +5 V
supplies, respectively.
Sheet 2 applies to three phase 208 / 230 V generators:

With respect to MD-0927, the operation of three phase 208 / 230 V generators is similar to that described
above for single-phase generators.
Sheet 3 applies to three phase 400 / 480 V generators:

With respect to MD-0927, the operation of three phase 400 / 480 V generators is similar to that described for
single-phase generators.
The rectified DC bus voltage for 400 VAC units will be approximately 560 VDC, or approximately 670
VDC for 480 VAC units.
SGhealthcare 349
7.2.2 DC bus & power distribution (Cont)
Refer to MD-083, sheet 4:

Sheet 4 applies to all units. For the membrane console, the +24 V supply is regulated to +5 V, +3.3 V,
+1.2 V, and -20 V via F1 on the console board. The console board contains a 300 VAC (approximately)
power supply that drives the cold-cathode fluorescent lamp in the LCD display assembly. This power
supply is driven from the +5 VDC supply.
The touchscreen console is powered from the generator’s +24 V supply; on-board regulators step this
down via F3 on the touch-screen board as required by the internal circuits.
Sheet 4 also shows the low-voltage DC power supply connections to the filament board and to the AEC
board.
7.2.3 Room interface (MD-0930)
+24 VDC, 120 VAC, or 240 VAC for the BUCKY DRIVE is available when K6 on the H.V. auxiliary board
is closed as described in 7.2.2. The 24 VAC and 24 VDC supplies are present at all times that the AC
mains is energized. The 24 VAC supply is fused by F11 and brought out at J11-6 and J11-5 on the H.V.
auxiliary board (maximum 150 watts for collimator use), and the 24 VDC supply is fused by F12 and
made available at J11-2 and J11-1 for system locks use (maximum 45 watts).
Bucky relays K1 and K3 on the H.V. auxiliary board are driven by U83 and U86 on the generator control
board. When K1 or K3 is energized, +24 VDC, 120 VAC, or 240 VAC is provided at J2-7 or J4-1 on the
H.V. auxiliary board to start Bucky 1 or Bucky 2.
The Bucky 1 or Bucky 2 ready signal (a contact closure is needed) will energize opto coupler U2 or U6
respectively. The Bucky-ready status from U2 / U6 is conveyed to the CPU via data buffer U89, where it is
processed to determine if the Buckys are ready to make an X-ray exposure.
During an X-ray exposure, the base of Q31 on the generator control board is pulled high via U19. This will turn
on Q31, energizing K7 on the H.V. auxiliary board. K7 provides a dry contact closure when
energized, which may be used to control the room light.
The H.V. auxiliary board also contains 4 interlock inputs. These include interlocks 1 and 2, the door
interlock, and the X-ray tube thermal switch interlock. Each of these interlock inputs requires a contact
closure to indicate a normal condition, with a closed interlock energizing the associated opto coupler U1,
U3, U4, or U9 respectively. The outputs of the opto-couplers are read by the CPU via data buffer U89 on
the generator control board, where the information is used to determine the readiness of the associated
input.
7.2.4 X-ray exposure (MD-0931)

The PREP and X-RAY switches on the membrane console are connected in parallel with the consolemounted
hand switch, as shown on drawing MD-0931. The PREP and X-RAY switches on the
touchscreen console, the X-ray mini-console, and on their associated hand switches are connected to the
inputs of U8 and U9 on the generator control board, respectively.
Pressing PREP on the membrane console will energize opto coupler U16 on the console board. If U16 is
energized, or one of the PREP switches on the touchscreen console, X-ray mini-console, or on the
associated hand switch is pressed, U8 on the generator control board will be energized. The output of
U16 on the console board is read by the console CPU (FPGA), and the output of U8 on the generator
control board is read by the generator CPU via data buffer U71. A prep request will be recognized if the
output of U16 on the console board (membrane console only) and / or U8 on the generator control board is
low. DS5 on the generator control board will light to indicate that a prep request has been made.
7.2.4 X-ray exposure (Cont)
Pressing X-RAY on the membrane console will energize U17 on the console board. If U17 is energized,
or one of the X-RAY switches on the touchscreen console, X-ray mini-console, or on the associated hand
SGhealthcare 350
switches is pressed, U9 and U7 on the generator control board will be energized. The output of U17 on
the console board is read by the console CPU, and the output of U7 on the generator control board is
read by the generator CPU via data buffer U71. An X-ray request will be recognized if the output of U17
on the console board (membrane console only) and / or U7 on the generator control board is low. When
the generator CPU receives an X-ray request, the emitter of U9 on the generator control board will be
pulled low via U86 and driver U83, assuming that there are no errors that would prevent an exposure.
With U9 on the generator control board energized, and its emitter held low, the collector of U9 will be held
low.
Jumpers JW1 and JW2 on the console board (membrane consoles) may be removed to disable the
console PREP and X-RAY buttons. If these jumpers are removed, PREP and X-RAY requests may be
made via a hand switch connected to J3 on the membrane console.

The collector of opto-coupler U9 on the generator control board (page 1) is OR’ed with several other
signals on the generator control board, all of which must be at the correct logic level in order to be able to
make an X-ray exposure.
• The base of Q27 on the generator control board must be held low to allow an exposure. This
Requires the following conditions:
∗ The output of U65 must be low, indicating that no fault has been detected by the CPU.
∗ The X-RAY ENABLE command from U9 (page 1) or U11 (MD-0926) must be low.
∗ The HT tank must be connected, holding the line connected to TP17 low.
• The base of Q26 must be held low by U67, indicating a valid X-ray request.
With the base of Q26 and Q27 held low, Q26 and Q27 will be off. The line connected to TP16 on the
generator CPU board will then be pulled high via R91, pulling the control inputs on AND gates U26A and
U26B on the generator control board high, as described in 7.2.5.
Lastly, with the output of U67 on the generator control board low, the collector of Q21 will be high. This
turns Q22 off, isolating Q22 from the kV demand circuit, part of 7.2.5.
7.2.5 kV control and feedback (MD-0932)

When there is no X-ray request by the CPU, the RAD INHIBIT line from MD-0931 will be pulled high. This
circuit is described in 7.2.4. When the RAD INHIBIT line is high, the junction of R131 / R123 on the
generator control board will be held high (+12 V). This ensures that the error amplifier cannot generate
any kV demand.
When a valid X-ray request is received, the RAD INHIBIT command is removed and the D/A converter
U43 will produce the required kV reference voltage. The kV reference voltage is buffered by U38A,
inverted by U48A, and then summed with the positive going kV feedback signal from U51B at the input of
error amplifier U25A. Error amplifier U25A will regulate the kV by producing a DC output that is
proportional to the difference between the kV reference voltage and the kV feedback voltage.
The kV demand signal and the kV feedback signals are also processed by U72A, U72B, and Q25. The
result is an HV ON signal at the output of Q25 that is high when the actual kV is greater than
approximately 75% of the demanded kV.
The HT primary current is sampled by T2 and rectified by D33, D36, D38, and D42 to produce a current
limit signal (a negative voltage proportional to the primary current). This is applied to the input of U25B,
where it will limit the kV demand if the primary current exceeds safe limits. This current limit signal is also fed
to comparator U69, which generates a fault pulse if excessive primary current is sensed. This fault pulse is fed
to the CPU via U78, immediately causing the gate drive to be inhibited, preventing inverter damage due to the
over-current condition.
The output of U25B swings increasingly negative for increased kV demand. This kV demand voltage is
buffered and inverted by U33A, and then applied to the VCO (voltage controlled oscillator).
The VCO generates complementary output pulses that vary in frequency. The frequency of these pulses
SGhealthcare 351
is inversely proportional to demanded generator output power. The current sense feedback from T1
synchronizes the start of the pulses.
The gate-drive pulses from the VCO are fed to AND gates U26A and U26B. The control inputs of U26A
and U26B are held high if all logic conditions to allow an X-ray exposure are satisfied. The drive pulses
are inverted and level shifted by U27A and U27B, and then applied to the gates of the MOSFET inverter
consisting of Q16, Q17, Q19, and Q20 on the generator control board. These MOSFETS form a full
bridge inverter circuit that outputs high frequency gate pulses to the power MOSFETS on the inverter
board(s) via J5 and / or J13 on the generator control board.
The differential kV feedback voltage from the HT tank is brought to J9 on the generator control board.
This is applied to the inputs of U51A and U56B, where the kV feedback scaling is precisely set by R218.
The differential feedback signals are then summed by U51B. The output of U51B supplies a kV feedback
signal to error amplifier U25A as described earlier in this section. The kV feedback signal is also supplied
to the CPU via A/D converter U45, which monitors the output voltage during an exposure. Lastly, the kV
feedback signal is fed to the kV over-voltage comparator U55, which will send a fault pulse to the CPU via U78
if a kV over-voltage condition is detected.
The generator control board also contains circuits that guard against an inverter “shoot-through” fault. If a
shoot through fault is detected, T3 and / or T4 on the generator control board will supply a current pulse that
is detected by comparator circuits U70 and U75. The relevant comparator will then generate a fault pulse that
is passed to the CPU via U78, causing the gate drive to be inhibited immediately, thus
preventing inverter damage due to this fault.
7.2.5 kV control and feedback (Cont)
Refer to MD-0932, sheet 2 and 3:

The inverter board(s) produce the high power drive for the HT transformers (32 and 40 kW generators
use one inverter board, 50 kW and 65 kW units use two inverter boards). The output of the inverter
board(s) drive the primaries of the HT transformers via the resonant / sharing inductors and the resonant
capacitor and a current transformer that samples the HT primary current.
The HT tank has similar anode and cathode sections. The cathode and anode sections each have their
own high voltage transformer and high voltage multiplier board. The anode section generates the anode
voltage, 0 to 62.5 or 75 kV. The cathode section generates the cathode voltage, 0 to -62.5 or -75 kV. The
anode and cathode sections contain voltage dividers that supply kV anode and cathode feedback
voltages. The kV feedback from the HT tank is brought to J9 on the generator control board as described
earlier in this section.
The HT tank is not field-repairable. Defective HT tanks must be replaced as a complete unit with the
factory-specified replacement.
7.2.6 Filament drive and mA control (MD-0934)

D/A converter U42 on the generator control board will produce the filament reference voltage (1 volt = 1amp
of filament current) when the CPU receives a valid Prep command. This is buffered by U32B, and
then routed to the filament supply board via J14 on the generator control board.
The filament reference voltage is fed to U1B on the filament supply board. The output of U1B is summed
with the output of current limit clamp U1A. The filament current limit is set at 5.5 or 6.5 amps via JW1; it is
shown set to limit at 5.5 amps on MD-0934.
Next, the filament reference voltage is summed with the filament feedback voltage at the input of error
amplifier U4B. When the reference voltage is greater than the feedback voltage, the output of U4B rises,
causing the pulse width at the output of U3 to increase.
PWM (pulse-width modulator) U3 drives MOSFETS Q6, Q7, Q12, and Q13, which form a full bridge
inverter. The MOSFETS convert the + and - 35 V supplies to high frequency AC to drive the primary of
the filament transformers at the filament switching frequency, approximately 40 kHz, via C22, the primary of
T1, large / small filament select relay K1, J5 on the filament supply board, and J4 on the tank lid board.
The secondaries of the filament transformers provide high voltage isolation, and drive the filaments via
the filament mounting board and the cathode high voltage connector as shown.
SGhealthcare 352
The output of filament current sense transformer T1 on the filament supply board is rectified by D12, D13,D27,
and D28, and fed to RMS converter circuit consisting of U7 and associated components. The output of the RMS
converter drives U4A, which is a variable gain amplifier. The filament current feedback is calibrated such that 1
volt = 1 amp of filament current. The calibrated filament feedback voltage (representing actual filament
current) appears at the input of buffer U2B, at the summing input of error amplifier U4B as described earlier in
this section, and at the input of comparator U2A.
The output of U2B is brought to J2-2 on the filament supply board. The filament current feedback signal is then
converted to a digital signal by A/D converter U45 on the generator control board in order that the filament
current can be monitored by the CPU.
The output of U2A will be low if a filament fault is present, i.e. filament current less than approximately
1.7amps. This will turn Q1 on the filament supply off, taking its collector high. The output of Q1 is taken to the
CPU via U78 on the generator control board. If low filament current is detected, X-ray exposures will not be
possible, and a filament fault message will be displayed.
7.2.6 Filament drive and mA control (Cont)

When an exposure is in process, X-ray tube current flows through series resistors on the HV anode and
cathode boards. The voltage developed across these resistors, which is proportional to the X-ray tube
current, is taken to J9 on the generator control board. Transient protectors on the high voltage boards
clamp the voltage across the series resistors during high voltage arcs.
The grounded mid-secondary circuit in the HT tank is connected to the mA test jacks E17 / E18 on the
tank lid board. Transient protectors on the tank lid board clamp the voltage across the mA measuring
device during high voltage arcs, and prevent the voltage at E17 and E18 from rising above approximately
15 volts if the ma test jack is removed and no measuring device is connected.
The anode mA feedback that appears at J9-1 and J9-2 on the generator control board is scaled
approximately 0.4 volts = 100 mA of anode current, and is applied to the input of differential amplifier
U68B.
The output of U68B is taken to comparator U47, which detects high anode mA. U47 will send a fault pulse to
the CPU via U78 if an anode over-current condition is detected, causing the kV output to be inhibited
immediately, thus preventing generator damage due to the over-current fault.
The output of U68B is also fed to the input of U68A, which provides a scaled mA feedback voltage. The
mA is calibrated by R160 such that 1 volt = 100 mA at the output of U68A. The output of U68A is taken to the
data bus via A/D converter U45, and also to voltage amplifier U74A, which provides a better quality (higher
gain) feedback signal at low anode currents. The mA feedback information is used by the CPU to regulate the
X-ray tube mA and to perform mA monitoring functions during exposures.
The cathode mA feedback at J9-4 and J9-3 on the generator control board is used for cathode overcurrent
detection only. The cathode mA feedback is fed to the input of differential amplifier U56A. The output of U56A
is taken to comparator U50, which detects high cathode mA. U50 will send a fault pulse to the CPU via U78 if a
cathode over-current condition is detected, inhibiting the X-ray exposure, thus preventing generator damage
due to the over-current fault.
7.2.7 Dual-speed starter (MD-0924)
The generator CPU decides whether the pending exposure should be made at low-speed or high-speed
operation. Based on this determination, the CPU will output the high-speed / low-speed command via
U86 and U83 on the generator control board. The output of U83 lights DS10 on the generator control
board, and energizes U12 on the dual-speed starter board. The dual-speed starter CPU monitors the
output of U12, and sets low or high-speed operation based on the state of U12.
The prep command is also output by the generator CPU and latched by U86. Driver U83 lights DS11 on
the generator control board, and energizes U13 on the dual-speed starter board. The dual-speed starter
CPU monitors the output of U13, and starts the boost cycle when the output of this opto coupler is low.
K1 on the dual-speed starter board will close at the start of the prep cycle. K4 will close at the same time
that K1 is energized. This ensures that the high voltage is isolated from the stator terminals at all times
except during normal operation of the dual-speed starter.
SGhealthcare 353
The dual-speed starter contains an inverter, Q1 to Q4, which produces the required stator current at 50,
60, 150, or 180 Hz by precisely switching the 560 / 650 volt DC bus. The dual speed starter CPU controls
the switching of the inverter via the driver circuit consisting of U1-U9 and T1-T4, etc. The setting of DIP
switch SW1 determines all stator drive parameters (boost voltage and boost time, run voltage, brake
voltage and brake time, etc).
7.2.7 Dual-speed starter (Cont)
The modulated output from the inverter is fed to the common stator terminal via one leg of the inverter
and via K4. The shift and main currents are taken from the other leg of the inverter via K5 and K6. K1-A
switches the main current, and K1-B switches the shift current.
The following description applies to dual-speed starters 901297-12, 13, 16 and 901298-12, 13, 16 only.
Relay K3 is held open for high-speed operation and closed for low-speed operation. The dual-speed
starter will automatically set K7 open or closed based on the setting of DIP switch SW1, selecting one-oftwo
possible capacitor values. The available capacitor values are shown in the tables on MD-0924.
The operation of dual-speed starter 901297-15 and 901298-15 is similar, except that relay K7 is always
held open during low-speed operation, providing 28μF of low-speed capacitance. It is also possible to
configure this starter to provide 15.5μF of low-speed capacitance by removal of one of the low speed
capacitors. One-of-two possible value of high-speed capacitance is automatically selected using K7.
The operation of dual-speed starter 901297-02 and 901298-02 is similar, except that K7 is not used,
resulting in only one value each of low-speed capacitance (60μF) and high-speed capacitance (20μF).
The DC bus current is monitored by a circuit consisting of CS1, U10, U11, etc. If a problem such as a
ground fault in the stator circuit is detected, a latch in the inverter fault detector circuit will be set. This will
light DS1 and inhibit the drive pulses for the inverter Q1 to Q4.
The contacts of current sense relays K5 and K6 will be closed when the main and shift currents are above
preset limits. With K5 and K6 closed, Q5 on the dual-speed starter board is supplied with base current.
This will turn on Q5, whose output is monitored by the dual-speed starter CPU. If normal stator current is
detected, the CPU will output a logic low signal at J1-10 on the dual-speed starter board. This statorready
signal drives opto-coupler U88 on the generator control board, turning U88 on in the normal (no stator-current
fault) state. DS9 will be on at prep in low speed mode, and on after prep is finished in highspeed mode. The
generator CPU reads the output of U88 via U87 on the generator control board. A stator fault condition will
immediately remove the generator ready and drive-enable signals, inhibiting kV output. Additionally, the dual-
speed starter CPU will open K1 and K4 on the dual-speed starter board,removing the stator drive.
7.2.8 Low-speed starter (MD-0935)
120 or 240 VAC is supplied to the low-speed starter via F6 and F7 on the H.V. auxiliary board. This
voltage is jumper-selectable on the H.V. auxiliary board; refer to MD-0927 for details.
The coil of K4 on the H.V auxiliary board is connected in parallel with the main power contactor, and
therefore is energized when the main power contactor is energized after completion of the generator
power-on sequence. This is described in 7.2.1.
When a Prep request is made, K5 on the H.V. auxiliary board is energized by the CPU via U86 and driver
U83 on the generator control board for the ROTOR BOOST duration that was selected in the
GENERATOR LIMITS menu (chapter 3C) in order to boost the rotor. The rotor is allowed to coast briefly,
and then boosted again for approximately 500 milliseconds every 5 seconds during Prep in order to
maintain normal anode rotation. During the boost cycles (when K5 is energized), 120 or 240 VAC is
applied directly to the main winding and to the shift winding on the stator via phase shift capacitor C12.
The main and shift currents flow through R20 and R19 on the H.V. auxiliary board, respectively,
energizing opto couplers U7 and U8 if there is sufficient stator current. Normally, the opto couplers will
only conduct during the peaks of the stator current. This is reflected in the output waveform of the opto
couplers at TP8 and TP7 as shown on page 2 of MD-0935. If there is low (or no) stator current, U8 and /
or U7 will not be energized. The output of the opto couplers at TP8 / TP7 will then be pulled high (+5 V).
This steady-state condition (+5 V) is detected by the CPU via U89 on the generator control board, where
SGhealthcare 354
it is recognized as a rotor fault.
7.2.9 DAP (MD-0938)
The DAP circuits consist of switching circuits to control the outputs at J4, and circuits to feed the DAP
pulses back to the CPU. Data latch U19 and driver U20 switch the +5 V and +15 V supplies via Q2, Q3,
and Q1 as required to control and test the DAP chamber. For DAP chambers with differential outputs,
JW14 is jumpered from pins 2-3, thus connecting the differential output from the DAP chamber directly to the
input of U1. For DAP chambers with a single-ended output, JW14 must be jumpered on pins 1-2. This connects
the output of the DAP chamber to the input of opto-coupler U94. This provides increased noise immunity for
single-ended DAP chambers, as the signal must be greater than approximately 2 V in order to turn on the opto-
coupler. The single-ended output of U94 is then connected to the input of U1.
The RS-485 driver, U1, sends single-ended (not differential) pulses to the CPU via U78. The DAP pulses
are counted by, and the related calculations are performed by the generator CPU.
7.2.10 Temp sensor / programming jumpers (MD-0925)
The inverter temperature sensor is mounted on a thermal sensor board that is mounted on one of the
inverter heat sinks. The output of the inverter temperature sensor is connected to J17-2 on the generator
control board. The temperature sensor, which has an output of 10mV / °C, is connected to the input of U79A.
The output of U79A is scaled 100mV / °C; this is divided by R162 / R163 to bring the signal within the useable
range of A to D converter U45. The digital output of U45 is read by the generator CPU, which will inhibit
further exposures if it calculates that the next exposure will exceed a safe inverter temperature.
The output of U79A is also connected to a fan voltage circuit controlled by voltage comparator U97. When the
voltage at TP34 is less than 3.5V, the output of U97 is high. The logic high is fed into the fan voltage regulator
circuit putting the voltage at J28-1 between 6.5 and 7 volts (driving the cooling fan at low speed).
If the voltage at TP34 reaches 3.5V (approx. 35°), the output of U97 goes low. The logic low is fed into
the fan voltage regulator circuit, which will drive the voltage at J28-1 to approximately 12.5 volts (driving
the cooling fan at high speed).
MD-0925 also shows programming jumpers JW12, JW2, and JW13. JW12 tells the CPU if the generator
has a cooling fan. JW-12 should be jumpered from pins 2-3 for generators with fans, and pins 1-2 if a
new-style generator control board is used to upgrade or repair older generators without fans. Note that if the
jumper is in position 1-2 (no fan), the generator duty cycle will be reduced.
JW2 is used to upgrade the generator firmware. This is set to JW2 pins 1-2 for normal operation, and pins 2-3
to upgrade the firmware. JW13 is factory-set, and should not be reconfigured in the field.
7.2.11 Serial communications (MD-0937)
When the generator is switched on and the start-up diagnostics are finished, the console will attempt to
communicate with the generator. The console will send data to the generator, and then wait for a
response from the generator. If the console receives a response, communication may continue. If the
console CPU does not receive a response from the generator CPU, a communication error message will
be displayed.
When the membrane console is sending data to the generator, DS2 on the console board will flash. DS3
on the generator control board will flash when data is being received by the generator control board from the
membrane console or the touchscreen console. DS2 on the generator control board and DS3 on the
membrane console board (if applicable) will flash to indicate that the generator control board is sending data
to the console.
U11 on the console board (membrane consoles) is a RS-232 driver that drives serial port J4. DS5 and
DS4 on the console board will flash to indicate that data is being sent to, and received from the serial
port.
The generator control board includes two serial communications ports. These include J21, which is an
RS-232 communications port, and J22, which is used for optional features.
DS1 on the console board (membrane consoles) and on the generator control board will flash at a
SGhealthcare 355
consistent 1 Hz rate if the related CPU is operational.
7.2.12 AEC (MD-0936)

Sheet 1 shows the circuits on the generator control board that provide the interface between the
generator CPU and the AEC board. Eight lines supply the AEC chamber select signals, the start signal,
and the field select signals to the AEC board via U90 and driver U91. The AEC ramp (PT RAMP) from the
AEC board is voltage-amplified by a factor of approximately 20 by U66B and compared to the AEC
reference voltage by U73. The output of U73 is normally high, switching low when the magnitude of the
AEC ramp is approximately 5% of the AEC reference voltage. This step change at the output of U73 is
detected by the CPU via U71, and is used by the CPU to generate an error message if the trajectory of
the AEC ramp is such that the AEC exposure will exceed the AEC backup time.
The AEC reference voltage is generated by D/A converter U44, buffered by U38B, and fed to comparator
U73 and to the AEC board via J7-10. The magnitude of the AEC reference voltage is determined by the
CPU (based on the upcoming exposure), and will be a value between 0 and 10 volts.
The PT stop signal is generated by the AEC board when the magnitude of the AEC ramp is equal to the
AEC reference voltage, and indicates that the desired AEC exposure should be terminated. The PT stop
signal is routed via U71 to the CPU, where it will terminate the AEC exposure immediately when this
signal is received.

This is the functional schematic of AEC assembly 734614, used with various ionization type AEC
chambers. The AEC chambers are connected to J1/J11, J2/J12, J3/J13, and / or J4/J14. The AEC board
will either be fitted with 12 pin in-line connectors, or 15 pin ‘D’ connectors, depending on the application.
The AEC signal from the AEC chamber(s) is routed to the input of analog switches S1A to S1D on the
AEC board. These analog switches are controlled by the chamber-select signals.
The chamber-select signals originate on the generator control board as per sheet 1. Only one chamber
may be active at one time, and DS1 to DS4 on the AEC board indicate which channel is active. The
chamber-select signals are inverted by U3B, U3C, U3D, and U3F; and connected to the control inputs of
the analog switches described in the previous paragraph. The analog switch corresponding to the
selected AEC input channel will be closed when that channel is selected, thus connecting the AEC signal
to preamplifier U1A, which provides voltage gain. The input of U1A will be configured such that U1A is a
non-inverting amplifier for use with AEC chambers that have a positive going output, and as an inverting
amplifier for use with chambers with a negative voltage output.
The start signal also originates on the generator control board. This signal, when active, will light DS5 on
the AEC board. The start signal is buffered and inverted by U3E and U3A, and will be logic low at the
output of U3A when the start signal is active. This opens the analog switch that is part of the sample and
hold circuit at the input of U2A during an AEC exposure. This analog switch is closed at all other times.
The sample and hold circuit will sample any electrical noise at the output of U1A during standby
operation, and subtract this noise from the AEC signal during an AEC exposure. This ensures that the
output of U2A is proportional to the AEC chamber output voltage only, and is not influenced by noise.
7.2.12 AEC (Cont)
The output of U2A connects to the common inputs of analog switches S2A to S2D. These analog
switches are controlled by the chamber-select signal, and the switch corresponding to the active channel will
be closed. This connects the output of U2A to the AEC gain adjustment potentiometer R1 to R4 corresponding
to the active channel. The AEC signal, which will be either a ramp or a DC voltage
depending on AEC chamber type, is now fed to the input of U2B. This will be factory configured as an
integrating amplifier by connecting C4 into the circuit for use with AEC chambers that output a DC output
voltage, or U2B will be configured as a linear amplifier by connecting R32 into the circuit for use with AEC
chambers that provide a ramp voltage. The start signal also connects to analog switch S4. This switch opens
when an AEC exposure starts, allowing U2B to start integrating or amplifying the AEC signal.
The output of U2B will be a positive going ramp regardless of the AEC chamber type in use. This ramp
SGhealthcare 356
voltage is processed by U4A and U4B, and also fed to the short AEC exposure time compensation circuit
consisting of R11 to R14, S3A to S3D, R53 and C11. Analog switches S3A to S3D are controlled by the
chamber-select signal. The switch corresponding to the active channel will be closed, connecting the
phase-lead network C11 / R53 to the wiper of the AEC short-time adjustment potentiometer. This circuit is
disabled when the wipers of R11 to R14 are at the ground end of the potentiometers, and maximum
short-time compensation is provided when the wipers are set to the end of the potentiometers connected to
U2B.
The AEC ramp from U4B is taken to the generator control board where it is processed as described
earlier in this section, and also fed to comparator U6 on the AEC board where it is compared to the AEC
reference voltage. The output of U6 is normally high, switching low when the magnitude of the AEC ramp
equals the reference voltage. This PT stop signal is further processed on the generator control board.
The START, and LEFT, MIDDLE, and RIGHT field select signals are brought to the AEC chambers via
J1/J11, J2/J12, J3/J13, and J4/J14. The AEC board will be factory configured to directly output the active
low signal from the generator control board to the AEC chamber if required, or to output +12 V or +24 V if the
chamber requires active high signals. For AEC chambers that require active high outputs, the start,
right, middle, or left field select signal is taken from the collector of Q1 to Q4, respectively. The active low
signals from the generator control board turn on Q1 to Q4, outputting either +12 V or +24V (depending on
factory configuration) at the collector when active.
Jumpers JW1 to JW8 swap the left and right fields on J11 to J14. Jumpering pins 2-3 of the field selector
jumpers (JW7 / JW8 for channel 1, JW5 / JW6 for channel 2, JW3 / JW4 for channel 3, JW1 / JW2 for
channel 4) connects the left field select signal to pin 6 and the right field select signal to pin 2. Jumpering
pins 1-2 of the field selector jumpers connects the left field select signal to pin 2 and the right field select signal
to pin 6.
The AEC board also contains a DC to DC converter that produces +45 V, + or - 300 V, and +500 VDC.
The converter circuit consists of U7, T1, output voltage adjustment potentiometer R79, and associated
components. The +45 V output is hard wired to all of the AEC chamber connectors, and + or - 300 V is
permanently connected to J1 to J4. Additionally, the AEC board will be factory configured to supply either + or
- 300 V or +500 V to J11 to J13, and to a second pin on J1 to J4 (in addition to the + or - 300 V fixed output).

This page shows the input circuits for AEC board assembly 737992. This board is used with solid-state
AEC chambers. The AEC chamber outputs are connected to the anode and cathode inputs of J1/J11,
J2/J12, J3/J13, and / or J4/J14. The AEC board will be fitted either with 7 pin in-line connectors, or with
circular style connectors, depending on the application. U2A, U2B, U8A, U8B, U16A, U16B, U3A, U3B,
U9A, U9B, U17A, and U17B are extremely high gain preamplifiers that convert the current output from the AEC
diodes (several hundred pico amps, typically) to a useable voltage.
The output of each preamplifier is connected to an analog switch used for field selection. Selecting the
desired field closes the corresponding analog switch, connecting the output of that preamplifier to the
summing node at the junction of R69, R9, R22 for channel 1, R40, R47, R55 for channel 2, R70, R11,
R23 for channel 3, and R41, R49, R56 for channel 4.
JW1 to JW8 swap the left and right fields. Jumpering pins 1-2 of the field selector jumpers (JW1, JW2 for
channel 1, JW3, JW4 for channel 2, JW5, JW6 for channel 3, JW7, JW8 for channel 4) selects the normal
left-right orientation, and jumpering pins 2-3 of the field selector jumpers reverses the left-right field
selection.
Selecting an active AEC channel closes U4D for channel 1, U14D for channel 2, U5D for channel 3, and
U15D for channel 4. The output from the selected AEC channel will then be passed on to the signal
processing circuits as shown on the next sheet of MD-0936.

This shows the signal processing circuits for AEC board assembly 737992. The AEC channel 1 to
channel 4 outputs are connected to the inverting input on U12A, which is a variable gain amplifier where the
gain of this stage depends on the number of AEC fields that are selected. With one field selected, the gain of
this stage will be at its maximum; and with three fields selected, the gain of this stage will be divided by three.
The variable gain of U12A compensates for the variable voltage output of the input preamplifiers, thus keeping
SGhealthcare 357
the signal output from U12A constant relative to the number of fields that are selected.
The output of U12A feeds the inverting input of U11B. A sample and hold circuit is connected to the
noninverting input on U11B. This circuit samples any electrical noise at the output of U12A during standby
operation, and subtracts this noise from the AEC signal during an AEC exposure. This ensures that the output
of U11B is proportional to the AEC chamber output only, and is not influenced by noise.
The output of U11B is connected to the input of U11A via the gain adjustment pots R1 to R4 and the
analog switches for channels 1 to 4.
U11A is an integrating amplifier where C31 starts to integrate the AEC voltage when the AEC exposure
starts. This is accomplished by opening the analog switches that are in series with R35, R38, R42, and
R59 at the start of the exposure. This produces a ramp whose slope is proportional to the input voltage at
U11A.
The AEC ramp is taken to the generator control board where it is processed as described earlier in this
section, and fed to comparator U10 on the AEC board where it is compared to the AEC reference voltage.
The output of U10 is normally high, switching low when the magnitude of the AEC ramp equals the
reference voltage. This PT stop signal is further processed on the generator control board.
The chamber-select signals exit on the generator control board as per sheet 1. Only one chamber may be
active at one time, and the active channel is indicated by DS1 to DS4 on the AEC board. The chamberselect
signals are inverted by U6, and then connected to the control inputs on analog switches U4D,U14D, U5D, and
U15D (sheet 3) for AEC channel selection and to the analog switches in series with R1 to R4 to select the
required gain pot.
The field select signals from the generator control board are also active low. These signals are inverted
by U6, and then connected to the analog switches in the feedback loop of U12A, and to the analog
switches that select the fields on the previous sheet.
The start signal from the generator control board is inverted by U6 on the AEC board, and then inverted
again by Q2. The output of Q2 is connected to the analog switches in the feedback loop of U11A. The
extra inversion provided by Q2 is required to open those analog switches during an exposure.

This is the functional schematic of AEC assembly 737998, used with ionization AEC chambers. The AEC
chambers are connected to J1 to J4. The AEC signal from the AEC chamber(s) is routed to the input of
analog switches U1A to U1D on the AEC board. These analog switches are controlled by the chamberselect
signals.
The chamber-select signals exit on the generator control board as per sheet 1. Only one chamber may be
active at one time, and the active channel is indicated by DS1 to DS4 on the AEC board. The chamberselect
signals are inverted by U6, and connected to the control inputs of the analog switches described in the
previous paragraph. The analog switch corresponding to the selected AEC channel will be closed when that
channel is selected, thus connecting the AEC signal to the input of U7A.
The start signal also exits from the generator control board. This is inverted by U6, and then inverted
again by Q4 and Q5. The output of Q5, when active, opens the analog switch that is part of the sample
and hold circuit at the input of U8A during an AEC exposure. This analog switch is closed at all other
times. The sample and hold circuit will sample any electrical noise at the output of U7A during standby
The output of U8A connects to the common inputs of the analog switches that are in series with gain pots R11
to R14. These analog switches are controlled by the chamber-select signal, and the switch
corresponding to the active channel will be closed. This connects the output of U8A to the AEC gain
adjustment potentiometer R11 to R14 corresponding to the active channel. The AEC signal, which will be
a ramp, is now fed to the input of U8B. The analog switch in the feedback loop of U8B is opened during
an exposure, allowing the AEC ramp to appear at the outputs of U4A and U4B.
The AEC ramp output from U4B is taken to the generator control board where it is processed as
described earlier in this section, and fed to comparator U9 on the AEC board where it is compared to the
AEC reference voltage. The output of U9 is normally high, switching low when the magnitude of the AEC
ramp equals the reference voltage. This PT stop signal is further processed on the generator control
board.
The START signal from Q4, and the LEFT, MIDDLE, and RIGHT field select signals from Q1, Q2, Q3
respectively are brought to the AEC chambers via J1 to J4.
SGhealthcare 358
Jumpers JW1 to JW8 swap the left and right fields on J1 to J4. Jumpering pins 2-3 of the field selector
jumpers (JW7 / JW8 for channel 1, JW5 / JW6 for channel 2, JW3 / JW4 for channel 3, JW1 / JW2 for
channel 4) connects the left field select signal to pin 6 and the right field select signal to pin 2. Jumpering
pins 1-2 of the field selector jumpers connects the left field select signal to pin 2 and the right field select signal
to pin 6.

This is the functional schematic of AEC assembly 739389, used with various 3-of-5-field ion chambers.
The AEC chambers are connected to J1 and J2. The AEC signal from the AEC chamber(s) is routed to
the input of analog switches U1C and U1D on the AEC board. These analog switches are controlled by
the chamber-select signals.
The chamber-select signals originate on the generator control board as per sheet 1. Only one chamber
may be active at one time, and the active channel is indicated by DS1 and DS2 on the AEC board. The
chamber-select signals are inverted by U6. The signals CH 1 and CH 2 are connected to the control
inputs of the analog switches described in the previous paragraph. The analog switch corresponding to
the selected AEC channel will be closed when that channel is selected, thus connecting the AEC signal to
the input of U7A.
The channel 3 and channel 4 select lines from U6 are inverted by Q6 and Q7. The outputs of Q6 and Q7
are redesignated as the PORTRAIT and INVERTED signals, respectively. These signals select four
different combinations of the L-M-R fields from the five available fields on the AEC chamber.
The start signal also exits from the generator control board. This is inverted by U6, and then inverted
again by Q4 and Q5. The output of Q5, when active, opens the analog switch that is part of the sample
and hold circuit at the input of U8A during an AEC exposure. This analog switch is closed at all other
times. The sample and hold circuit will sample any electrical noise at the output of U7A during standby
The output of U8A connects to the common inputs of the analog switches that are in series with gain pots R11
and R12. These analog switches are controlled by the chamber-select signal, and the switch
corresponding to the active channel will be closed. This connects the output of U8A to the AEC gain
adjustment potentiometer R11 or R12 corresponding to the active channel. The AEC signal, which will be
a ramp, is now fed to the input of U8B. The analog switch in the feedback loop of U8B is opened during
an exposure, allowing the AEC ramp to appear at the input of U4A via a phase-lead network that provides
short time compensation.
The AEC ramp from U4A is again inverted by U4B and taken to the generator control board where it is
processed as described earlier in this section, and fed to comparator U9 on the AEC board where it is
compared to the AEC reference voltage. The output of U9 is normally high, switching low when the
magnitude of the AEC ramp equals the reference voltage. This PT stop signal is further processed on the
generator control board.
7.2.13 Digital interface (MD-0926)

Sheet 1 shows the digital outputs on the generator control board that drive the digital imaging system and the
optional X-ray mini-console. Data latch U5 latches the output data for the imaging system. One of the outputs
from U5 is an EXPOSURE ENABLE signal that is taken low if the generator has recognized a
valid exposure request. The remaining outputs from U5 are fed to driver U4, where three of the outputs
are connected directly to J25 and to inverters Q9, Q10, and Q11. The next two outputs from U4 are
connected to inverters Q12 and Q14 only. The outputs of inverters Q9, Q10, Q11, Q12, and Q14 drive
five of the outputs on J25.
Four of the single-ended outputs from U5 also drive differential drivers U21, U28, U30, and U35. These
differential drivers drive four of the outputs on J25.
The HV ON signal from MD-0932 is taken to the input of U37D on MD-0926. Monostable timer U40 is
triggered at the start of the HV ON signal, generating a 13-millisecond pulse. This ensures that the output of
U37C stays on for a minimum of 13 milliseconds for very short exposures, while having no effect on longer
SGhealthcare 359
exposures. The resulting “exposure on” signal from U37C is taken to J25 via driver U4, and is inverted by Q15.
The output of U37C is also taken to differential driver U31 for imaging systems that need a differential
“exposure on” signal.
Lastly, U19 latches the commands to drive the prep / exposure indicators and LS1 and LS2 in the miniconsole.
These signals are fed to driver U20, which provides the required current gain.
7.2.13 Digital interface (MD-0926) (Cont)

Sheet 2 shows the digital inputs from the digital imaging system. One input is a differential input that is
fed to the data bus via U46 and U18, and six inputs are opto-coupled via U12, U16, U17, U22, U23, and
U36. The digital imaging system must pull J25-11 high to enable an X-ray exposure. When this line is
high, turning on U29 and U11, and the EXPOSURE ENABLE line is low, the X-RAY ENABLE command
will be low. This allows the DRIVE ENABLE signal on MD-0931 to be pulled high, enabling the gate drive
pulses on MD-0932.

NOTE:
1. Refer to table 8-1 for the part number for the H.V. auxiliary board. Four different part numbers are
used, depending on the application:
Units with the dual speed starter option will be fitted with H.V. auxiliary board 739442-00.
Before installing a replacement H.V. auxiliary board, jumpers must be properly installed on this board
in order to select the Bucky voltage (24 VDC, 110 VAC, or 220 VAC). After determining the Bucky
drive voltage requirement, connect the appropriate pair of jumpers in accordance with table 8-2 *.
The jumpers that select the Bucky voltage must be set per table 8-2.
After determining the required rotor boost voltage, connect a wire jumper between the desired tabs on
the boards *.
* A complete set of jumpers is shipped with each new generator. Three of the jumpers are installed on
the H.V. auxiliary board, and the remaining jumpers are in a bag attached to the lip on the inside of
the cable access slot above the HT tank.
If the Bucky or low-speed starter boost voltage needs to be changed on an existing H.V. auxiliary
board, use the existing jumper(s) if they are of the correct length and have the proper connector to fit
the tab(s) on the board. Otherwise, select the shortest wires from the spare jumper set that will
connect between the desired tabs on the board and that have the proper connectors on the jumpers.
For spares boards, the jumpers will need to be removed from the “old” board and reused.
Additionally, JW1 must be set per table 8-4 before installing a replacement H.V. auxiliary board.

2. The AEC board in your generator was selected to be compatible with specific AEC devices. To
maintain full compatibility, the original part number must be ordered as a replacement. Refer to
chapter 9, section 9.2.0, for the part number of the original AEC board that was shipped in the
generator for which this manual was prepared.
3. This applies to the dual speed starter option only, spares should be stocked accordingly. The part
number shown for the dual speed starter board is for the board only, without the phase-shift
capacitors. For the complete dual speed starter subassembly, several part numbers (which are
tubestator dependent) are used in CMP 200® DR 400 / 480 VAC generators. To determine which
dual speed starter subassembly is in your generator, note the DUAL SPEED STARTER ASSY part
number on a label near the top left side of the dual speed starter chassis. This will be the part
number that must be ordered for spares usage. For reference, this will be part number 901297-XX
or 901298-XX where XX is a two digit number designating the exact configuration.

Using of the Detector
Introduction
The PaxScan 4343R is a radiographic digital X-ray imaging device commonly referred to as a flat panel detector
(FPD). The detector together with image processing and command software called Virtual Command Processor
(VCP) is designed for integration into a complete X-ray system. The imaging system has two main system
components: The 38.3 x 42.7cm 139μm-pixel amorphous silicon FPD that houses the solid-state, flat
panel sensor and the VCP software, and the External Power Supply (I/O Box) that provides power supply.
SGhealthcare 367
Safety Warnings and Precautions
This device is only for use on adult patients with healthy skin; for example, free of
blemishes, scars, skin rashes, irritants, disorders, discoloring and abnormal moles.
For hand held applications, the operator and end-user must take precautions to
protect themselves against dangerous X-ray exposure when using the flat panel
imager in the X-ray beam path of an X-ray source.
The 4343R is not intended to be used as a primary barrier to X-rays. The user is
responsible for insuring the safety of the operator, bystanders, and the subjects
being radiographed.
This device is not intended to supply heat to a patient. However, during

normal use surfaces will become heated due to power dissipation in the
imager.
Temperature increases based on frequency of image acquisitions taken.
Patient contact surfaces will not exceed 8 degrees C above ambient under
normal use conditions – not to exceed 150 image acquisitions per hour.
See Figure 1-0 for the view of patient contact surfaces. Internal
temperature sensor data is provided in the diagnostic data attached to
each image. These temperature measurements are well correlated with
the panel external surface temperature. It is advisable to monitor this
diagnostic data as an additional safety precaution.
The operator should monitor and evaluate how much and how long the
patient is in contact with these surfaces. Exposure beyond limitations may
result in, but not limited to, the surface layer of the skin to become
reddened, welted, and swollen with pain.
Limitations for patient contact are listed in the “Patient Contact
Limitation” section of this manual. It is important that the operator
understand and follow these instructions to avoid possible adverse effect
to patient.
Note:
System Integrators: If the imaging system monitors the internal
temperature data supplied by the panel, it may be possible to guarantee
that the panel surface never exceeds 41 oC. In this case, the panel can be
used without restriction and the patient contact limitations discussed
below do not apply.
Patient Contact Limitations
1. Patient contact time between 1 and 10 minutes.

2. No more than 10% of a patient’s body area should be in direct contact with surfaces.
3. No more than 10% of patient’s head area should be in direct contact with the surfaces.
4. The device is intended for use on adult patients with healthy skin only.
5. No additional pressure should be applied when patient is in contact with surfaces.
6. Number of image acquisitions not to exceed 150 per hour.

Getting Started
Connecting the Cables
Connect the cables as described below in Table 1-0 and shown in Figure 2-0.
Table 1-0 Cable Connection Details
STEP Action / Description
There are three (3) cable connections for the 4343R Flat Panel Receptor: (a) External Sync Cable, (b)
Power Supply Cable which is permanently connected to the power supply, and (c) Category 5 or
better Ethernet cable. The connections are described below.
1 External Sync Cable Connection
This connector is intended to provide the user with a means to synchronize the end-user system-
level application with the imager. This connector provides the connections for four opto-isolated
signals, (two outputs, and two inputs). The one output signal named “Expose OK” is intended to
signal that the receptor is ready for the generator to produce X-rays and the input named “Expose
Req” allows the user to trigger the panel readout. See Appendix A, diagram 1.0 for “Expose OK”
and “Expose Req” signal schematic. Connect this cable to the external sync connector on the
receptor.
2 Power Supply
This connection provides power to the receptor. Connect the power supply connector to
receptor then plug into the main AC supply.
3 Gigabit Ethernet Connection
Connect the Ethernet connector to a gigabit capable interface in the user’s host computer.
4 Ground Lug
Chassis ground lug to acceptable ground connection.
Note: The External Sync Cable Connection is user supplied equipment..
SGhealthcare 370
Figure 2-0 Cable Connection
Caution
Accessory equipment connected to the analog and digital interfaces must be
certified to the respective IEC standards (i.e., IEC 60950-1 for data processing
equipment and IEC 60601-1 for medical equipment). Furthermore, all
configurations shall comply with the system standard IEC 60601-1-1. Anyone
connecting additional equipment to the signal inputs or signal outputs as part of a
configuration for medical equipment is therefore responsible for compliance with
the equipment standard IEC 60601-1. If in doubt, consult our technical support
personnel.

Appendix A
Interfacing Information
All the interfacing connections for the Paxscan 4343R are at the panel itself. The Gigabit Ethernet
connection carries control information to the panel and supplies image data with diagnostic
information to the customer supplied workstation. The Hardware Synchronization connection (“B”)
is a 9-pin D-sub type. Power for the panel is supplied by a medical-grade “laptop” style supply whose
dc supply cable “C” can be up to 3 meters in length.
Figure A.1 Block Diagram of the 4343R Imager

The synchronization interface to the panel consists of two inputs and one output, all through opto-
couplers. The expected inputs to the panel are Prepare and Exposure_Request. The output from the
panel is Expose_OK, which can be used to trigger the generator. This active low signal is used to
identify when the panel is ready for exposure. The 4343R panel currently ignores Prepare and
responds only to Exposure_Request. The exposure delay is defined as the worst case time between
Exposure_Request and Expose_OK. The interface circuit is shown below.
NOTE: The maximum input voltage on the opto-couplers used in the 4343R is
5V.Refer to the TSM0505S datasheet for additional information.
SGhealthcare 372
Figure A.2 Schematic for “Expose Ok” and “Expose Request” Signal
The timing of the synchronization interface is shown below. The panel is maintained in an idle state,
until the asynchronous Expose_Request is received. The Expose_Request signal is detected as a level
and so the signal must be maintained for a minimum of 360 msecs. When the panel receives the
Expose_Request, the assumption is that the generator is ready to make an exposure when
Expose_OK is issued.

1.Software Installation
Begin software installation by using the run command under the Windows Start button, select
Browse, My Computer, and your DVD/CD ROM Drive that contains the PaxScan CD. Select the icon
Setup.exe or alternatively at the run command window enter drive location and file name, select
OK – will launch the PaxScan ViVA System Software Install Shield Wizard.
SGhealthcare 374
1.For a normal install, you may simply accept all the defaults in progressing to the Install Shield Wizard
Complete screen.
2.Ensure the Open Pleora Installation Instructions is “checked” and select the finish button at the Install Shield
Wizard Complete screen will automatically launches a README file instruction to complete the Pleora driver
installation. You may only install the iPORT™ High-Performance IP Device Driver if you have the Intel Pro/1000
adapter; this is the recommended configuration. An alternative which gives lower overall data handling
capability is the filter driver which may be installed to almost any Ethernet adapter on the computer. If the
filter driver is installed, make sure to disable it on any adapters NOT used for connection to the Pleora. See
Note below regarding drivers.
SGhealthcare 375
Note:
Pleora provides three options for the Ethernet driver. For fastest possible operation install
the Pleora Performance driver onto the Ethernet adapter of the host computer; but, – this is
only possible with specific Ethernet adapter – namely, the Intel Pro/1000. Other gigabit
Ethernet adapters may be used without noticeable loss of speed for radiography (single shot)
modes. Operation is possible with the native Windows driver which requires no additional
installation, however, performance will vary depending upon the computer system. The
Pleora Filter driver provides a third option that gives performance intermediate between
the other two. The filter driver solution is better than the Windows driver though still not
nearly as good as the performance driver. We strongly recommend using only the
Performance driver for medical applications. The user must validate that any configuration
used is suitable for the intended application.
Modes of Operation
The PaxScan 4343R supports the radiography mode of operation as defined in Table 2-0. In general,
there is a trade off between varying operation modes of resolution, or field of view, or cycle time, or
noise. The sensitivity of the imager is optimized to match the X-ray dose used in each mode.
The purpose of each mode is to configure the detector to achieve optimal performance during
specific imaging procedures. Modes are defined by a combination of factors, such as pixel binning,
cycle time, analog gain, and continuous versus single acquisition. Each mode requires a unique set of
calibration files. Refer to the ViVA Online help documentation for complete details.
The user can select the mode of operation based on image performance and cycle time. The
following two (2) modes are available:
• Reduce Cycle Time (RCT)

• Standard Cycle Time (SCT)
For either RCT or SCT the user has the option to retrieve a preview image – which has the benefit of
having preliminary view of the target object in reduced time.
SGhealthcare 376
Note: The system may be in only one mode at a given moment.

Not every mode will be available with every system. The OEM should work with
PaxScan technical support for configuration of the mode(s) which best suit the
customers intended application

5. Detector Calibration.
Offset Calibration
Offset calibration compensates for fixed pattern pixel intensity variations in the image associated with the dark
current and electronic offsets. The Offset reference image is an average of a series of frames acquired without
X-ray illumination and referred to as dark fields.
• Offset calibration should not be performed during X-ray.

• The X-ray-to-digital conversion factor does not change as a result of calibration.
Preview Offset Calibration

There are two types of offset calibration; one is used for the preview image and the other to calibrate the final
image. Prior to acquiring images, an offset calibration must be performed in each mode. This offset calibration
is used for the preview image. In addition, an offset calibration is automatically performed after each single
acquisition. The number of frames used for this offset calibration is based on the mode selected – either RCT
or SCT.
1. To perform offset calibration, click the ViVA icon launches the application
2. Ensure required receptor appears in the Mode drop down. The 4343R currently supports Rad 1x1 4pf. Click
Offset Calib. button or select from the menu bar under Acquisition.
3. An accumulating Dark Frames window appears followed by an offset calibration acquisition completion.
SGhealthcare 383
Gain Calibration
To compensate for non-uniformities in the Receptor, a gain reference image (flat field) is used by the
Corrections module as required to correct all images. The flat field image must be captured by the Virtual
Command Processor (VCP) prior to acquiring images. The process of capturing the flat field image is known as
Gain Calibration.
Gain calibration is based upon the linear response of the Receptor to dose. Normalization is achieved by
applying the flat field image acquired during the Gain calibration to all images corrected by the VCP.
Normalization will fail with pixels that are responding to dose in a non-linear manner. Pixels responding to
dose in a non-linear manner are usually caused by the saturation of the Receptor, or a low signal-to-noise ratio.
Note: It is critical to acquire the flat field image within a range that is large enough to be higher
than the background noise created by the X-ray source and readout electronics of the
Receptor, but lower than the saturation point of the imager.
Flat field images acquired near or exceeding the saturation point will cause normalization failures with all
images acquired until a Gain calibration with the correct dose is performed. We recommend that flat field
images be acquired with a median count of 1,600 – 3,000. This range will ensure that Gain calibration will meet
both the upper and lower dose requirements under all modes of operation. Dose requirements are
determined by the settings of the generator X-ray source.
To reduce the effects of noise, the average of each pixel in the flat field image is calculated by accumulating a
number of frames into an internal memory buffer, then dividing the sum of each pixel by the number of
frames acquired.
Note: Using larger numbers of calibration frames to capture the flat field image will result in
more accurate calibration.
The number of calibration frames used during Gain and Offset calibrations can be adjusted under the Mode
Settings pull down menu. We recommend accumulating 32 frames for gain calibration and 8 frames for offset
SGhealthcare 384
calibration for optimal image quality. However, the actual number of calibration frames used must be
determined solely by the system integrator depending upon their specific performance requirements.
The general procedure for Gain calibration for all modes is as follows in Table 3-0 and described below.
Detailed instructions on performing gain calibrations are covered in the ViVA Online help documentation.
Important: Gain calibration requires the production of X-rays and therefore certain precautions
must be taken by the human operator.
Step Action Results
To ensure proper warm up, the PaxScan 4343R Receptor must be operational

modes.
Radiographic Mode Gain Calibration

Radiography Gain calibration requires an Offset calibration performed prior to collecting the Flat Field image.
X-Ray illuminated frames are then offset-corrected and accumulated in the VCP internal buffer.
A series of accumulated frames equals one radiographic X-ray exposure. Exposures are averaged to obtain the
Flat Field image used by the VCP correction module. The number of exposures acquired can be varied by
clicking the Finish button after collecting the desired number of exposures.
Take the following steps to complete radiographic gain calibration.
(1) Set 21mm Aluminum filter in front of Collimator.

(2) Set SID as 130 cm ~ 150 cm.
(3) Verify Hardware Handshaking is checked (V) in Acquisition tab.
(For image acquisition, it must be checked)
