2.7 BEAM ALIGNMENT
Tighten yoke block to prevent movement during alignment. Rotate Collimator so that
the knobs are facing front and tighten lock. Remove the collimator outer shroud by
removing the 4 screws securing the shroud to the collimator. Place the phosphor
screen in the beam at 30.6" and collimate field just to the outside edge of the middle
5” x 7” rectangle. Place Beam Alignment Tool in center of field (center dot at
intersection of center lines) and adjust beam so that shadow of upper dot covers lower
dot. Readjust borders if necessary.
Set the Control Module to 70kV, 20.0 mAs. Take an exposure while observing the X-
Ray field through the lead glass window of the test cabinet. Note the difference
observed between the light field and the X-Ray field for further adjustment.
If the centers are too far out of alignment, adjustment of Collimator light field is
necessary. To adjust the horizontal position of the light field, rotate the unit 180
degrees to gain access to the mirror adjustment hardware. Loosen the locking screws
sufficiently so as to allow the turning of the adjuster cam. Lock the fixing screw and
cam after adjusting the mirror position. To adjust the vertical position of the light field,
remove the lamp heat dissipater taking care to avoid being burned, as the dissipater
can be very hot. Loosen the two lamp support fixing screws and using the hexagonal
screw on the side of the lamp, adjust the lamp in the desired direction. Tighten the
four screws fixing the lamp support.
Finally, to adjust the brightness at the edges of the light field, loosen the screws fixing
the screen to the lamp holder, and using an Allen screws, move the screen to obtain
the desired adjustment. Tighten the screen fixing screws.

2) Activate the “Collimator Lamp” (G) by depressing one of the push-buttons
located on the left or right side of the collimator. The collimator lamp will
automatically extinguish after a period of approximately 15-30 seconds to extend
bulb life.
3) Collimate the light field to the area of interest by means of the shutter adjust
knobs.
4) Manually select the desired kVp by means of the kVp adjust switches on the
optional Remote Control RC-115 (9).
5) Adjust the “mAs” to the desired interval by means of the mAs selectors (10). The
resultant mAs is displayed on the mAs meter (8). Reference Table 3.1 for standard
techniques.
6) After the required warm up period, the “Ready” Indicator will illuminate. It will
not be possible to operate the unit until this has occurred. If the unit has not been
operated for a long period of time an additional 2-minute waiting period is
recommended.
7) While holding the “Remote Exposure Control”, step at least 6 feet to side of
side of the x-ray control/generator assembly.
8) Depress the “X-Ray Switch” to the first position (prep). The “Ready Light”
will go off and come back on when the unit is fully prepped.
36

3.3 Continued:
9) Depress the “X-Ray Switch” to the second position for immediate exposure. An
audio tone will sound in addition to the “X-Ray” indicator illuminating for the
duration of the exposure. Releasing the “X-Ray” switch prior to the pre-selected
interval will terminate the exposure, light the “FAULT” Indicator and display a
fault condition (Ref. Table 5.2).
NOTES:
1) Unless the x-ray generator is going to be immediately used again, the “Power
ON” switch should be turned off. Leaving the unit turned on provides
opportunity for an accidental operation.
2) If the unit is going to be operated again, an automatic inhibit circuit will allow
the x-ray tube to cool in proportion to the exposure time to prevent damage to
the x-ray tube from overheating. At the end of this cycle the “Ready” light
will illuminate indicating an exposure can be made.

THEORY OF OPERATION
47
Model: PXS-710D Section 4
4.2 Continued:
The Power Board Inverter Assembly is powered by 115 VAC or 230 VAC via
connector TB1 (ref dwg. 100206). With circuit breaker CB1 closed, an AC voltage
is applied through current limiting resistor R1 of the Power Board PWA. The
voltage is then rectified and filtered via Diode Bridge D1 and Capacitors C1 – C2.
The DC Voltage is used as the “Rail Voltage” for the High Frequency Drive to the
X-Ray Generator.
Relay K1, contacts 1A and 1B short resistor R1, on the Power Board PWA, during
the Prep and X-ray period to allow the line to deliver the required power.
Transistors Q1 and Q2 of the Control/Generator Assembly make up a full bridge
high frequency circuit operating at approximately 30 kHz. This circuit is energized
during the X-Ray On period and is used to convert the DC voltage back to high
frequency AC to drive the high voltage transformer in the generator assembly
(approx. 30 kHz).
The Control Board PWA provides commands to the Power Board PWA electronics
for the kV reference, filament pre-heat, exposure time… and monitors the system
for faults.
U15 of the Control Board PWA provides the High Frequency Drive for the High
Voltage Supplies (anode & cathode), it drives the pulse transformer T1 through
signal FET’s Q4 & Q6. Transformer T1 drives the Gate of the IGBT’s, Q1 & Q2
located in the Power Board Assy.
U16 of the Control Board Assy. supplies the High Frequency Drive for the filament
circuitry by driving FET’s Q8 & Q9 on the Power Board PWA. These FET’s provide
the High Frequency voltage for the filament transformer T1 of the Generator Assy.
Current transformer T4 of the Power Board PWA monitors the primary current to
the High Voltage Transformers and triggers timer IC/U13 which sends a fault to
the Microprocessor and shuts down the High Frequency Generator IC/U15
which in turn shuts down the High voltage IC’s.
48
Model: PXS-710D Section 4
4.2 Continued:
IC/U18A (Over Voltage Comparator) and IC/U17A & U18 (Over Current
Comparator) shut the High Voltage down in the event of an over-voltage or over-
current condition. A fault signal is also sent to the Microprocessor.
IC/U19 is the DC-DC converter that converts the 24VDC to +/-15VDC for the low
voltage signal processing electronics.
Power Supply A1 on the Power/Control Assy. provides the +24VDC for all
electronic and microprocessor circuitry.
The Serial hardware in the PXS-710D generator uses a 2.5KV Optically Isolated
EIA/TIA-232E Compatible 3-wire interface. (Ref Figure 3.1 Item 6) This interface
Operates at 19200 BAUD, 8N1. The Pin assignments are listed in Table 4.4

1 N/C
2 TX Output
3 RX Input
4 N/C
5 GND Common
6 N/C
7 N/C
8 N/C
9 N/C
The Serial Protocol used in this interface incorporates a data packet with a 16bit
CRC for error detection. Handshaking ACK and NAK replies are incorporated to
enable error recovery.
The Interaction of the OpalRad UAI (User Acquisition Interface) with the PXS-710D
Generator is as follows: (ref. Figure 4.3)
The OpalRad UAI will be referred to as the ‘Host’
Generator Idle
When the generator is at rest, three (3) commands are recognized from the Host:
SETGENCMD Sets the Generator Techniques
UNSETGENCMD Revokes the Generator Techniques
ERRORSTATUSCMD Requests the current machine status
The SETGENCMD sets the Generator Techniques with the Data supplied in the data
packet. When a user picks a technique button, this command is sent to the
generator.
The UNSETGENCMD revokes any set techniques by setting them to zero. This is
sent to the generator when a Technique button is de-selected.
50
Model: PXS-710D Section 4
The ERRORSTATUSCMD Request is used for retrieving the Generator Techniques
and obtaining Error information. It is also used to verify the Generator is properly
connected and powered ON.
The OpalRad UAI will process any Errors returned and display them to the User.
These Errors are outlined in Table 5.2
Generator PREP
If the generator enters the PREP state the following command is sent to the Host:
PREGENCMD Indicates to the Host the PREP switch is activated.
When the User depresses the PREP switch, the generator sends a PREGENCMD to
the Host. This will alert the Host that the User is attempting to start the expose
process. The Host will then Display a READY Icon to alert the User that a 2 second
x-ray Tube filament heating time is in progress. After 2 seconds the Icon turns
GREEN, indicating to the user that an exposure can be made.
During the PREP and the following XRAY state, the Generator will not accept any
commands and the set Techniques cannot be changed.
Generator XRAY
During the Exposure process the following commands are sent to the Host:
51
Model: PXS-710D Section 4
Generator XRAY (Continued)
When the User proceeds to depress the XRAY switch the generator sends a
XRAYINDCMD to the Host. The Host then displays a X-RAY Icon to indicate to the
User an exposure is in progress.
The Generator will then make an exposure with the Techniques set in the
Generator Idle state.
If an Error Occurs or the User releases the PREP and/or XRAY switches the
Exposure terminates.
Otherwise the Exposure completes normally with the Techniques that were set.
