Prerequisites / Notes 1 5

1.1 Requirements
During maintenance on the product, the work steps in the certificate must be documen‐
ted accordingly.
Maintenance is divided into chapters (as a rule, max. 6 hours for components). Since
there can be the same component more than one in a customer system, the component
checkpoints in the certificate are listed accordingly. Each component must then be en‐
 tered with the Part Number and Serial Number. There are also "options" in the customer
system. The options must be check marked accordingly in the certificate.
With parts that must be replaced periodically (battery/steel cables...), the startup date or
the last replacement date must be entered to ensure the ability to track the dates. As a
rule, the date can be found in the User Handbook (Handover Protocol / old Maintenance
Certificate).

4.2 Inspection and Maintenance

4.2.1 General Information

 WARNING
Even after switching off the radiographic system, electrical voltage is still present
in the generator.
If not observed, death or serious bodily injury can occur.
 Read and observe the warning labels in the cabinets.
 Switch power off to the radiographic system and to the on-site power supply
and secure them against switching power back on.
 Wait until all LEDs in the generator go off (at least 5 minutes).

PM Cleaning
See ( Cleaning the Components / Page 12)

4.2.2 Generator Control Console


PM Cleaning
n Replace the filter matting on the back of the touchscreen console.

4.2.3 Checking the external Connections, only with the Polydoros SX


SI Checking the external Voltage

If external voltage is to be connected to the external connectors, the "External power sup‐
ply label" must be attached:
n Polydoros SX
 On the left, next to the D160 on the panel

4.2.4 Error Log


PM Evaluating the Error Log
n Read out and evaluate the error log.
n Initiate any required corrective measures.
n Clear the ERROR log.

4.2.5 Checking the High Voltage Cables


SI Check the HV cable shielding.
n Pull the high voltage cables connected to the high voltage transformer out of the
sockets.

 If the shielding braid is to be grounded in the generator cabinet, remove the grounding
cable for the measurement.

n Measure the shielding braid against ground; when doing this, move the cables, partic‐
ularly where they are bent or looped.
 Required: maximum 1 Ohm/m
n If necessary, replace the high voltage cables.
n Check the high voltage connectors and sockets for damage (burn marks, cracks).
n Check the oil level in the sockets.
 Required: 0.8 - 1.1 cm corresponds to approx. 2.5 bottles
n If needed, refill the oil (do not mix oils). To do this, first remove remaining oil with a
lint-free cloth.
n Reinsert the cables.
- Use only oil, do not insert any corona disks!

4.2.6 Rotating Anode Connection


SI Check the rotating anode connection to the X-ray tube/tubes.
Only if the X-ray tube is not fully covered.
Fig. 1: Tube unit connections

Cable terminals ( 1/Fig. 1 Page 16) that are incorrectly installed on the rotating anode
cable can cause a ground loop in the X-ray tube assembly cover. The FI fault interrupter
can respond during switch-on.
The cable terminals ( 2/Fig. 2 Page 17) must be insulated with heat-shrink tubing.
The heat-shrink tubing must be in good condition; it may not be porous and may not be
 pinched.
If the cable terminals are long ( 2/Fig. 2 Page 17), make absolutely sure to slightly
bend the cable and terminal in the direction of the tube unit ( Pfeil/Fig. 2 Page 17).
Under no circumstances may the cable terminal with the heat-shrink tubing be up
against the cover ( 1/Fig. 2 Page 17). For a better understanding, a cut-away cover is
shown in the illustration.

5.2 Inspection and Maintenance


Installing the Cover Panels
n Install all cover panels that are not yet installed in the reverse sequence. When doing
this, absolutely connect the ground wire if present.

SIE Measurement of Ground Wire Resistance according to IEC 62353


Fig. 3: Ground wire check with fixed power connection

n Switch off power to the system.

According to IEC 62353, the measured values from the old Maintenance Certificates as
well as the Startup Certificate from the initial maintenance must be compared with the
new measured values.
 If a significant difference is found or if the measured value climbs above 180 mOhm, it
may be necessary to initiate corrective measures.
As a rule, the ground wires are not connected or not correctly connected.

26 5 Final Work Steps

n Test procedure:
- Measure between all conductible parts of the system that can be touched and the
ground wire bus rail (e.g. in the generator, power distributor).
If using direct current, the measurement must be repeated using the opposite po‐
larity of the voltage. Both measured resistance values may not exceed the admissi‐
ble value.
 Maximum value: 0,2 Ω (Observe country-specific regulations!)
Exception: Accessory rails on the collimator and tabletop.

Exceptions:


Accessory rails on the collimator and tabletop.
Components with Voltage less than/equal to 24 Volts
Place on the covers for electrical components with voltages lower than/equal to 24 V.

 For customers without a contract, a label "Next maintenance, MM.YY" can be placed
close to the operating location.

SI Perform the final function check.

This check should include the following:


n If configured:
- Check triggering of exposure on "film" or indirect technique.
- Fluoroscopy / With Observance on the Monitor
n Unit movements, motorized and manual
"Hat and coat check!!!"
