1.4 CE Conformity
This product conforms with the requirements of council directive 93/42/EEC
concerning medical devices, and therefore shows the following CE Mark of
Conformity:
This equipment generates, and can radiate, radio frequency energy. The
equipment may cause radio frequency interference to other medical and
non-medical devices and to radio communications. To provide reasonable
protection against such interference, the system complies with the emissions
limits for a Group 1, Class A Medical Device as stated in EN 60601-1-2.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment is found to cause interference (which may be
determined by turning the equipment on and off), the user (or qualified
service personnel) should attempt to correct the problem by one or more of
the following measure(s):
A system consists of: a single detector (MC systems) or dual detectors (MG
systems); the gantry; a patient table; and an Acquisition Computer. The
detectors, gantry and patient table are all controlled from the dedicated
computer. All systems have motorized motion that is controlled from a
Hand-Held Controller (HHC).
• The gantry supports and positions the detectors. The ring gantry
provides motorised motion in two axes, allowing tomographic
acquisitions and automated detector positioning around the patient.
• The table supports and positions the patient during scans. When not in
use, the table can be removed to gain full access to the gantry and
detectors.
• The Acquisition system consists of a standard PC computer mounted
on a mobile-cart for convenient positioning of monitor, keyboard, and
mouse near the gantry.
1.6.1 Options
Several options are available to extend the usefulness of the system:
The monitor, keyboard, and mouse are mounted on a mobile cart that allows
the operator to work from a standing or seated position. The mobile stand is
supported on four self-locking casters for convenient positioning near the
gantry.
The 17" color monitor, combined with the display board, gives a 1280 x 1024
pixel with 256 colors from a palette of 16.7 million. The monitor displays
images and acquisition information along with the graphical user interface
used to operate the system.
CAUTION
• Do not place items on top of the monitor. They might block the
monitor's ventilation, which could cause damage.
• Do not load non-system software onto the Acquisition computer.
Running non-system applications may interfere with Acquisition
operations.
• Adjust the monitor under the normal lighting levels used in the
department.
The keyboard, mouse, monitor, power lead, gantry serial cable and ethernet
cable all attach to standard connectors at the back of the tower. The detector
cable also connects to a standard DB-9 connector mounted on the Framing
Board at the back of the cabinet.

1.8.3 Detectors
The system is configured with one or two rectangular detectors.
The photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) are mounted in rows and columns which
improve position information and signal-to-noise ratio when applying row/
column thresholding. The detectors are designed to use 3" square PMTs. The
signal output from the PMT pre-amps are summed from the 8 by 6
rectangular detector. These summed signals are subsequently processed in
dynamic linearity correction, and threshold circuits. Finally they are fed into a
resistor matrix for two dimensional positional weighting. This means that not
only events coming from a single tube but contribution from all other tubes in
the row/column are corrected.
The detector also includes the power supply board, and the I/N board for front
end data processing. This includes dynamic linearity correction,
normalization, and pulse pile-up correction. The data is transmitted via a
twisted-pair cable to the Framing Board for masking and linearity and energy
correction. This design offers a number of advantages:

2.5.1 Gantry
The gantry is shipped in two containers. The first container holds the gantry,
and the second container holds equipment used for installation and assembly
of the gantry.
For USA shipments, the gantry and all components are on a shipping dolly.
Note
For international shipments, the gantry and all its components are enclosed in a
wooden box.
2.5.2 IPS
Each system uses one Integrated Power Supply (IPS). The IPS is shipped in
one container.
For USA shipments, the table and all components are on a shipping dolly.
Note
For international shipments, the table and all its components are enclosed in a
wooden box.
This chapter describes how to unpack and install the entire system, and
assumes the following:
Impact / Hammer Drill for 13 mm (1/2") Bolting the gantry to the floor; mounting
masonry drill the table locking pins
If any of the shipping pallets must be moved before unpacking, a lifting cart
with the specifications listed in Figure 3-1, is recommended.

Installing the Integrated Power Supply Gantry & Table Axes Calibration
(Section 3.2.9) (Section 6.3)
Systems shipped long distances (air, boat, etc.) will have additional packing in
the form of underside pallets and external boxing. The shipping
end-stands will remain outside this packing but will be raised so that the
pallets can provide stability and support during transit. These pallets may be
removed at the point of unloading by supporting the weight on the shipping
end-stands. The external boxing may then be removed.
At this time, there are no established procedures for returning the ROW shipping
Note dollies.
The most critical factor in transporting the system to its final destination is the
size of the door openings. If at any point an opening is smaller than 1,260 mm
(49.6 inches), the gantry must be removed from the pallet. For openings
smaller than 914 mm (36 inches), you must manually rotate the gantry into its
minimum-width configuration. This procedure is described in Section 3.2.3.5.
Important The detectors should remain wrapped and be kept at a constant temperature for at
least 24 hours before being unpacked.
1. Remove external boxing and packing material from around the gantry, but
do not remove the protective wrapping from the detectors.
See Figure 3-5.
LTD
Caster
2. Loosen and remove all yellow dolly parts from the shipping pallet.
CAUTION
To prevent accidents or damage, always monitor the position of personnel
and equipment for the entire duration of the move.
There are several possible methods of moving the gantry to the final
destination, depending on the width of doorways, hallways, or elevators:
• Very easy access, with doorways wider than 1,290 mm (50.8 inches).
Move the gantry using the blue shipping dollies. See Section 3.2.3.3.
• Easy access, with doorways wider than 91.4 mm (36 inches) but
narrower than 1,290 mm (50.8 inches). Move the gantry using the blue
shipping dollies and Local Transit Dollies (LTD). See Section 3.2.3.4.
• Narrow or restricted access. If any doorways are less than 91.4 mm
(36 inches), you must transfer the gantry to the LTD and then
manually rotate the detectors so the gantry can be manoeuvred around
corners and through narrow doorways. See Section 3.2.3.5.
3.2.3.3 Very Easy Access
Move the gantry to the final destination using the blue shipping dollies.
3. Use the lifting mechanism on the blue end-stands to raise the gantry high
enough to mount the four caster wheels onto the bottom of the LTD.
Use four M12 x 30 bolts for each wheel and tighten the bolts to 120 Nm
(88 lbs.ft.)
4. Lower the gantry until the wheels of the end stands are just off the ground,
and all weight is supported by the LTD casters. See Figure 3-5.
CAUTION
Before removing the end-stand bolts, make sure that the entire weight of
the gantry is supported by the LTD, and no weight is on the blue end
stands.
7. Use the LTD to convey the gantry to its final destination. See Figure 3-8.
Important The detector should remain at destination-room temperature for at least 24 hours
before the protective plates are removed.
2. Remove the rear protection cover from the gantry to gain access to the
cable chain.
3. Assemble the 15 mm box spanner, extender and crank-handle and insert it
into the opening shown in Figure 3-9.

2. Take the lid off the crate and then remove the side walls.
4. Pull out the rail located at the base of the unit (next to the wheels) until the
hole at the end of the rail is visible.
5. Fit the hole (at the end of the rail) over the locating pin at the base of the
wooden platform (see A in Figure 3-15).
The plastic covering on the wheels should not be removed until the table reaches
Note its destination.

8. Ensure that the two rails are parallel to each other - see Figure 3-16.
9. Cut and remove the bands holding the table in place on the pallet.
10. Using the 2 lifting mechanisms (supplied in the Table Accessory Box), lift
one side of the patient bed and remove the 2 wooden support blocks.
See Figure 3-18 below.
11. Carefully lower the table onto it’s wheels (using the lifting mechanisms,
as shown in Figure 3-19).
12. Repeat the procedure (steps 10 - 11) for the opposite side.
13. Remove the lifting mechanism after the table is lowered.
14. Slowly guide the table on to the rails, making sure the wheels are aligned
with the rails - see Figure 3-20.
CAUTION
The collimators and the collimator carts are very heavy. Take the following
precautions when moving a cart:
• Check that the pathway is clear.
• Always push the cart at a slow, careful speed.
• Use at least two people when moving the cart up or down an incline.
CAUTION

WARNING
Do not attempt to operate the gantry without a collimator installed on the
detector.
Collimators are made from a dense material and are very heavy. Make sure
you follow the collimator changing procedure exactly as described in this
section to avoid personal injury or damage to the equipment.
This procedure checks the locking and unlocking mechanisms on the cart,
collimators, and detectors. It also checks the height of the cart(s).

3.6 Using the Table Alignment Program for Final Table Alignment
The following process uses the Acquisition computer to align the rear of the
table. The procedure assumes you are standing at the end of the table, the end
furthest from the gantry. The procedure tells you how many millimeters to
move the end pin to the right or left to centrally locate the end pin socket.
Important The collimators must be installed before you perform the following procedures.
1. If you know the time the image was acquired, or how many images have
been taken since the acquisition, examine this file:
/usr/genieacq/dataf/Imageset.var
All the images are recorded here as a number with the time of acquisition.
9. Remove the tape holding the table's rear locator plate. Move the plate the
direction and distance specified by the program.
If you don't know where the image might be relative to other acquisitions, use
this procedure:
2. Select the series button. After several seconds a window will appear.
3. Look for patient/study/imageset.
4. Select using cursor.
5. Select imageset button.
6. Make a note of the file ID number that is displayed.
7. Select series button again if there are any more images.
8. Select file quit
9. Type the following:
cd dataf/Imageset.var
1. Remove the cover plate (see figure in Chapter 10) and cable clamp.
2. Flip over the cover plate and reinstall. This plate is reversible.
3. Reinstall the cable clamp on the other side of the table.
WARNING
The table extender will support a maximum weight of 20 kgs (44 lbs). Do
not stand or sit on the extender or load it beyond its 20 kg limit. Failure to
follow this warning may result in patient injury.
The table extender is not intended to support the head. It should only be
used to support the patient's feet and/or legs. Failure to follow this warning
may result in injury to the patient.
Note The strip with the adhesive backing is the loop strip, the other is the hook strip.
3. Remove the backing from one of the self adhesive velcro loop strips, and
stick firmly along the lower edge, starting in the middle on the extender
and continuing along the table top. See Figure 3-47.
4. Repeat the process for the other side.
5. Using a utility knife, carefully cut both the newly fitted strips at the point
where the extender meets the table.
6. Fit the two remaining (non-adhesive) hook strips over the newly glued
pieces.
7. To remove the extender, it is only necessary to pull half the non-adhesive
hook strip away.

WARNING
• The PC always uses 110V power supplied by the IPS.
• Always plug the PC into the gantry IPS. Never plug the PC directly
into a wall receptacle.
The Acquisition Computer provides hardware and software for the following:
All user interactions are performed with the aid of a 17" color monitor. These
include: database listing; acquisition setup; real-time camera (persistence) and
acquisition mode displays of acquired data; review of previously-acquired
data; and gantry status information. Typing on the part of the user is
minimized, since most interactions are performed with the mouse (commonly
called "point-and-click").
The Acquisition computer receives power from the gantry's IPS and runs on
standard power (110V AC, 10A). It communicates with the detectors via
high-speed TAXI link cables and connections. Each detector has its own
TAXI link cable back to the PC and its own framing board for event framing.
Within the PC is a high speed SCSI disk, RAM, high performance video
controller (1280x1024 resolution, 70+ Hz), DAT tape drive, CD-ROM, the
framing boards, an Ethernet board for networking, a multi I/O card to provide
up to 4 serial ports, and a SCSI controller.
All computer-driven diagnostics for each sub-system can be invoked from the
Diagnostics User Interface executive and their results captured and displayed
to the user. This interface provides a consistent and automated mechanism to
select and execute diagnostics. Remote access for InSite is provided through
the local network to another computer having a modem back to the On-Line
Center. InSite Engineers can utilize the same graphical diagnostic user
interface as the on-site Field Engineer.
Important Because the computer is constantly being updated, the following specifications may
vary according to current model availability.
Function Specification
Important Computers are continuously being upgraded and the specifications are constantly
changing.
5.2.2.1 PC Motherboard
The PC Motherboard holds the Central Processing Unit (CPU), the Random
Access Memory (RAM), on-board video adapter, the physical PCI buses and
the serial I/O ports. The CPU performs all software and user interface
operations required by the user.
5.2.2.2 Processor
The CPU is a Intel Pentium™4 2.8 GHz processor. The Operating System
(OS) used to interface between applications code and the chip instruction set
is a real-time UNIX system called LynxOS.
5.2.2.3 Memory
The RAM is used for temporary storage of instructions and data. The standard
configuration provides 128 MB of memory. There is also 512 KB of
Level 2 cache.
The IDE-1 and IDE-2 input sockets are located on the motherboard. The IBM
xSeries 205 System Service Manual provides full details.
Two hard disk (40 GB each) are mass storage devices for storing application
code and data. The data is stored using traditional magnetic recording
techniques. The second hard drive is removable and is used for system backup
purposes. The diskette drive is used for loading some corrections files and
licenses.
The Acquisition computer provides I/O ports for the following items:
5.2.2.8 Monitor
The computer comes with a 17 in. (432 mm) high resolution (1280x1024),
multi-sync color monitor. It provides non-interlaced, flicker-free, screen
refreshes at over 70 Hz. A variety of digital adjustments (brightness, contrast,
size, geometric shaping) are available via the on-screen menus.
5.2.2.9 Mouse
A scroll mouse is provided for all user manipulations of the graphical user
interface.
5.2.2.10 Keyboard
The system uses two framing boards, one for each detector. The framing
boards are located in the Acquisition computer and are controlled from the
PCI bus. The framing board communicates with an I/N board located in the
detector. It controls the setup for acquisition and control parameters and
performs linearity and energy correction. The on-board processed data is
passed on to the PC via the internal EISA bus for display or storage.
The following framing board description refers to Figure 5-2 (see next page).
Data to be transmitted to the I/N board is sent via the PCI PC bus to the event
transmission latch via the linearity and energy correction DSP (Digital Signal
Processor). The data is latched into the TAXI transmitter and is transmitted to
the differential serial data output terminals SEROUT+ and SEROUT-. Data
received are serial data. Two types of data are received from the TAXI
receiver: 1) event data and 2) parameters. Both types of data are transmitted
via a twisted-pair cable and are fed to the TAXI receiver as a differential
signal. The TAXI receiver converts the data into parallel data. The event data
is passed on to the event reformatting circuit, and parameters are send to the
character receiver FIFO.
The linearity and correction DSP handles the linearity and energy corrections
based upon data in look-up tables. Both corrections are supported
simultaneously. During initialization, correction data are loaded into the
look-up tables.
The framing DSP converts accepted events into physical memory addresses in
the framing memory. The framing memory is divided into two physical
banks: Bank A and Bank B. During multi-gated acquisitions, frames are
acquired in Bank A, and when accepted added to the contents of Bank B.
The framing DSP also handles the X-Y masking based upon data in look-up
tables. The data is stored in the X-Y masking RAM. The framing DSP look-up
event addresses and the accepted addresses are passed onto the PC bus.

5.3.6.1 GENIELink/StarLink
5.3.7 TCP/IP
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is a protocol suite
developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). It
is an alternative to the Open System Interface (OSI) protocol and has been
around longer than OSI.
TCP/IP is transparent to the user. The user communicates with the computer's
operating system and applications. These in turn communicate to the different
protocols of the TCP/IP suite. TCP/IP then handles the interface with the
network hardware. Two users on different networks can communicate
transparently since the IP layer interfaces to several different types of
networks, for example, Ethernet, X.25.
Each computer using TCP/IP must have a unique identifier assigned to it.
This unique identifier is the Internet Protocol Address or IP Address.
The IP Address is a 32 bit number usually represented as four 8-bit (byte)
numbers in decimal format separated by decimal points. The following is an
example:
3.231.44.56
An IP Address must be assigned to the Acquisition system. It is the
responsibility of the site to provide this value for system vendor devices
connected to the site's network. Refer to the MG/MC Site Preparation Manual
(G.E. Part # 2269387-100 / ELGEMS Part # MAN000426). Refer to Chapter 3 of
this manual on how these network addresses will be used.
InSite uses two forms of TCP/IP for communications over a serial line and
modem called the Point to Point Protocol (PPP) and the Serial Line Interface
Protocol (SLIP). PPP is used by Processing and Review to communicate with
InSite, and SLIP is used by Acquisition to communicate with InSite. They
provide roughly the same functionality. In the case where a single modem
connected to either a Processing and Review or Acquisition is shared by
several systems, these systems all communicate via TCP/IP on the local area
network before going over the phone line via either PPP or SLIP.
For additional information on TCP/IP and other networks issues, refer to the
Network Service Documentation, Direction 46-021650.

Whenever logging into AUI, the software automatically checks the license
key and, if this is not present, the AUI software cannot be loaded.
5.3.12 Diagnostics
The Acquisition provides a general-purpose, flexible Diagnostics User
Interface (DUI) and executive engine for defining, selecting, and invoking
any diagnostic routines that provide a software interface. The DUI test suites
are arranged in a hierarchical manner from system, to sub-system, to
component, and finally to specific test. Selections can be made at any level of
the hierarchy and set up to run once or repeatedly.
Through the technology of UNIX and the X-window system, parts of the
Acquisition User Interface can be run as easily from the On-Line Center as
from the customer site. Due to bandwidth limitations across the modem, it is
not practical to run the entire UI across the phone lines, but all the diagnostic
routines, including the DUI, can easily and quickly be run from the OLC.
Field diagnostics and remote diagnostics become the same, with the exception
of any routines generating table/gantry motion, which are locked out from
remote usage.
The Acquisition templates are created at the time the database is initialized,
and they are loaded as a part of the start-up procedure. The raw database
template definitions are created from definitions in the $PCACQCFG/dbl.
Important These templates should not be edited or changed as they have a very specific
format demanded by the database creation procedure.
5.4 Printing
You have the ability to capture all or a portion of the Acquisition screens,
including CUA and image displays, and send these images to a PostScript2™
printer or a DICOM Remote Station which was designated as a Secondary
Capture destination. The printer can be directly connected to Acquisition or
accessed through an Ethernet network. Printers directly connected to a remote
computer are also accessible through Ethernet network.

The remote printer topology uses a print queue to store print jobs before they
are sent to the printer. Many operating systems, including Lynx OS, can
process print commands faster than they can be transferred to a printer. In
addition, operators often want to print multiple images without waiting for
each one to print. By using a print queue, the print files can be stored on a
remote computer until they can be transferred, in the order requested, to the
printer. The queue is located on the hard disk of the remote computer. See
Figure 5-10 and Figure 5-11.
Lynx OS uses the lpd (line printer daemon) command to start the process of
communicating with a remote printer.
In the topologies discussed above (Section 5.4.2) the print queue was located
on the Acquisition computer. With a remote printer, the lpd process uses a
queue on another computer. This computer could be maintained or controlled
by the institution's system administrator.

PRINT QUEUE *The remote computer could be an acquisition
machine located in a department with multiple
acquisition-based systems.
Just like Acquisition or any other device on the network, the local system
administrator needs to assign the network printer a unique IP address. This
address is programmed into the printer so it will know when it is being
accessed and when to respond. Systems and computers on the network that
want to send output to the printer also need know the address.
In the case of an existing network printer, the IP address of the printer must be
determined and then programmed into Acquisition. In the case of a new
printer, first an IP address must be assigned and then programmed into both
the printer and Acquisition.
Some printers, like the HP 1600CM, for example, do not have a front panel.
Instead they employ a technique known as "RARP" in order to learn its own
IP address. Upon power-up, the HP1600CM broadcasts a message on the
network, asking if any host computer knows its (the printer's) IP address. One
computer on the network (this can be Acquisition) must be programmed to
answer with the address of the printer. Details of the configuration of the host
system are given below.
Other printers have a front panel for programming in the IP address. Each
front panel printer will be different. Consult the printer's documentation to
determine the method for programming the IP address.
5.4.5 /etc/printcap
The printcap file specifies the details of the connection of the printer to
Acquisition. Each entry is a list of printer aliases (separated by a "|"),
followed by a list of parameters (separated by a ":"), which describe the
printer and its connections.
The following excerpt from the /etc/printcap file configures Acquisition for a
parallel port connected printer. The print queue has three aliases, and any of
these three aliases ("lp", "pcacq_default", "Parallel_Printer") can be used by
Acquisition or Lynx OS to access the printer. (Acquisition uses the
"pcacq_default" while Lynx OS print commands uses the "lp" alias as their
default). The rest of the printcap script specifies printer and print queue
parameters.

rm Host name for remote printer
pw# Page width in characters (n/a for Postscript)
mx# Maximum file size (in blocks) to print
lpq Displays the queue of print jobs
a2ps Converts text to PostScript format for printing
Once a printer is set up for printing from the Acquisition AUI, it can also be
used to print files using Lynx OS commands. This facility is useful for
printing configuration files, records, or to create a printout to FAX for
troubleshooting purposes. For example, the following command will print
the tgp.cfg.phoenix file.
a2ps tgp.cfg.phoenix | lpr -P lp
The a2ps command converts a text file to PostScript. Since Lynx OS uses the "lp"
Note queue as the default, the "-P lp" can be dropped from the command.
In this scenario, the captured images are sent to a DICOM remote station that
was designated as Secondary Capture and can be printed to the printer that is
connected to this remote station.
The secondary capture feature was developed as part of the requirement of
CUA to enable printing of the CUA images, results and trends to a hard copy
printer so as to to comply with regulatory requirements.
The original requirement was only the CUA area of the GUI was captured,
but since the implementation enables various user interface areas the
implementation was extended to enable printing from additional user
interface areas.
The GENIE Acquisition print facility was extended to allow the Quality
Control (QC) results display and trend graph to be sent as a DICOM
secondary capture image to a remote DICOM station such as eNTEGRA/
Xeleris/Vision/GenieP&R/Xpert or PACS system.
The DICOM remote station is used to print the captured image to an attached
printer or to archive it.

4. Table longitudinal
5. Table lateral
6. Table vertical
All motions are initiated with the either Hand Held Controller (HHC) or the
Acquisition computer.
The Hand-Held Controller (HHC) is a detachable and can be plugged into any
one of the four jacks on the gantry/table table or the one jack on the Integrated
Power Supply (IPS). Only one motion is allowed at a time. The motion occurs
as long as the key is pressed and stops when the key is released.
Multiple HHCs can be installed on the system since they are connected in
parallel to the controller. The key pressed first is recognized by the controller
until that key is released.
There are four Emergency Stop (E-Stop) switches on the system: two on the
gantry, and two on the table. If an E-Stop switch is pushed , the safety circuit
is opened, power to the servo motors is disabled, and brakes on the vertical
and pitch axes are engaged.
The E-Stop switch is released by twisting or pulling its red button, depending
upon the type.
Contact with an obstacle causes a buzzer to sound, and the collision activator
latches in the active state. Power to all motors is immediately interrupted, and
the brakes on the motors engage, halting all motion.
When the collision activator is active it will remain in this state - even after the
Note obstacle has been removed - until the system has been returned to the idle state,
as described below.
Before any motorized motion can proceed, the obstacle must be removed
from the path of the detector.
Pressing the cancel button on the HHC will silence the buzzer, however the
system will only return to idle state when the obstacle has successfuly been
removed from the path of the collision sensor.
There are two override switches on the rear of each detector (the side of the
detector closest to the gantry). In the event of a collision, power to the servo
motors is interrupted. Pressing and holding the override switch enables the
operator to use the Hand-Held Controller to move the gantry and table.
When the Acquisition computer is not connected to the system, turned OFF,
or not operating, the controller becomes the "master". The controller directly
executes the motion requested by the HHC.
When the Acquisition computer is connected to the system, all motions are
under computer control. Acquisition computer is the "master" and the
controller the "slave." The controller receives the motion request from the
HHC and communicates the request to the computer. The computer
acknowledges the request and authorizes the motion. The controller then
executes the motion. If a computer acknowledgment is not received, the
motion request is ignored.
The system has a 4-axis smart motion controller. The axes are referred to as
X, Y, Z, and T drives. Each drive has a primary encoder port. In addition, the
Z and T drives have secondary encoder ports. The primary and secondary
encoders are multiplexed. This allows the 4-axis controller to drive 6 servo
motors. The drive allocations are as follows:
X Longitudinal -
Y Roll -
Z Radius 2 Lateral
T Radius 1 Vertical
Either the primary or secondary motor on a drive can be operated at any one
time. Motors on different drives can be operated simultaneously at any time
under computer control.
The controller implements the following transfer function:
D(Z) = (GA*2GF)*{(Z-ZE/4096)/(Z+PO/4096)}*{(Z-Z1/4096)/(Z-1)}
Z1=4095*(ZE/4096)(KZ/100)
The drive amplifiers are rated for maximum 12A instantaneous current. All
the amplifier cards are identical and can be interchanged. The cards slide into
a card cage mounted on top of the motherboard. The torque output of the
servo motors is limited by the controller TL (torque limit low) and TO (torque
limit) parameters, as follows:
• TL limits the motor current output when the motor is not moving.
• TO limits the maxim torque output.
The motor stalls if the motor torque requirement exceeds TO, and the
controller disables the motor drive. The TL and TO parameters are set by the
gantry interface program.
The power supply has a shielded isolation transformer. The primary has two
windings with taps for 100V and 120V. The two windings are connected in
series for 200V, 220V, and 240V utility inputs. The windings are connected in
parallel for 100V, and 120V utility inputs.
Site voltage is selected by orienting the fuse block in the power entry module
for 120V or 240V and adjusting connections at terminal block TB1 as per
instructions on top of the transformer.

MOVs fail in short circuit mode. When this happens, the circuit breaker opens
and the MOV has to be replaced.
The Power Supply Board delivers low voltage DC power to the following:
For reasons of simplicity, the Power Supply Board also holds the relay for the
Power Saver function and the relays for two safety functions: Emergency
Stop and Collision. Each power supply consists of a power factor correcting
input circuit, followed by a step-down regulator.
Refer to the following sections to view the Power Supply Board schematics.
Refer to Section 7.4.9 to see the power schematics for Detector #1 and #2.
The output is filtered by L2 (ferrite beads) and drives the step-down regulator.
U1 is powered from the rectified AC. Since Vccmax for UC3852 is 30V, a
simple regulator consisting of T11, D27, D5, C6, R63 and R129 is
implemented. The circuit is protected by a 0.2A Multifuse MF2 and gives a
Vcc of approximately 22V, well above the UC3852 turn-on voltage of 17.5V.
ISNS input is a dual function input. The other function is a current limit
function that will terminate T1-ON-time if Ipeakmax is reached. In this way,
T1 is protected during an error situation (input overvoltage etc.). The output
voltage of a boost converter must be higher than the input voltage.
The maximum input voltage at 10% overvoltage is
22V*1.1*1.414 ≅ 34V.
The 40V output of the power factor correction input circuit supplies power to
the step-down switching regulator U2. This is a monolithic 5A PWM
regulator, switching at constant frequency. It features slow start and current
limit and has also high temperature protection and an input voltage rating of
50V. It is configured in a standard topology with L3 (180µH) as energy
storing element and double diode D8 as a free-wheeling diode. The output can
be adjusted between 20V and 30V and is filtered through L4 and L5 (ferrite
beads). An LED (D54) on the output visually signals that voltage is ON.
The Detector Power Supplies and the Add-on Power Supply are adjusted to
25V. The Board Power Supply is adjusted to 22V to save power and to lower
the temperature of the motor brakes.
Section 7.3.11 shows the Servo Amplifier Power Supply and a small PSU for
the ventilating fans. The Servo Amplifier Power Supply circuit is a power
factor correcting circuit like the one described above. However, it handles
more than twice the power and therefore contains the switching elements of
two paralleled FET transistors (T5, T10). Input voltage is 36 V AC and output
voltage is adjusted to 65 V DC on R143- This output is also filtered and has
an LED (D66) for diagnostic purposes.
The FAN_PWR supply is a small step-down converter, taking its input from the
Board Power Supply. It delivers power to two 12V fans in the EIPS. In normal
operation mode, the output voltage is 11V and in power-save mode, 9V.
All input and output connectors are shown in Section 7.3.12 as well as relays
for power saver, emergency stop and collision.
Connector BE4 is interface to the power saver switch. Closing the switch
between pin 1 and pin 3 gives power to the relays (RELAY_PWR), the
normal mode. In this mode everything is powered if the emergency chain in
BE16 is unbroken and if the collision chain in BE18 is unbroken.
The power saver relay, when deactivated, removes power from the motor
controller (V120AC_OUT) and the proximity detectors (V22AC_SUPP).
This leaves power to the two detectors only and the ventilating fans at low
speed.
The MUX Board is powered from the Power Supply Board and has the
following functions: VG-lock control, brake control, multiplexing of input
signals to the motor controller and multiplexing of the brake power and motor
power.
U10 (LM338) is programmed by R31 and R32 to power the 12V lock's motor.
Power FET T4 (BUK455-100) must be set ON via opto-coupler U5 (LM_ENA)
before the lock motor can get power when relay K11 is energized by the Drive
Control (U7). K11 also ensures that the lock-motor stops quickly by
short-circuiting the motor when the relay is de-energized.
The VG-lock assembly is equipped with five switches of which two are used
to signal the locked and unlocked positions. In the locked position, one switch
is ON (input signal is low) and the other is OFF (input signal is high). In
unlocked position, it is the opposite. In any position in between, both switches
are ON. The two signals drive the transistors Q1 and Q2, so optocoupler U9 is
OFF when the VG-lock is in the locked or unlocked position.
Since U10 is not equipped with a heat sink and thus not able to continuously
supply power to the lock motor, the time-out control U6 has been added. If for
some reason the VG-lock change session has not been terminated within
2.7 seconds after triggering, U6 times out and resets U7.
The radius1 motor and brake are multiplexed with vertical motor and brake
by means of relay K7. The fourth contact of K7 drives K9 that multiplexes the
limit switch signals of the two axes. Power FET T1 controls brake power for
the multiplexed axes. The radius2 motor and brake are multiplexed with the
lateral motor and brake by means of relay K8. For the time being, there is no
brake on the lateral axis. The fourth contact of K8 drives K10 that multiplexes
the limit switch signals of the two axes. Power FET T2 controls brake power
for the multiplexed axes. Power FET T3 controls brake power for rotational
motion.
There is no brake on the longitudinal axis.

The safety circuit disables power to all servo motors when an emergency stop
button or a collision pad is pushed. At an emergency stop, the relay K2 in the
power supply opens. This disconnects the power to the motors (V220AC_out
and V36AC_supp), to attenuation correction (ACSCAN_PWR), and to the
MUX board (BOARD _PWR to BE24) where the motor brake
(no-power-brake) is located. The relay switches are all NC switches, which
means that even if a relay itself fails, motion stops.
Emergency stop buttons are normally-closed switches and are located on each
side of the gantry and table. Collision pads are located at the detectors and on
the transmission scanner. They are converted into an equivalent
normally-closed switch on the power supply board. These normally-closed
switches are connected in series with the K2 relay coil. This circuit is
energized from RELAY_PWR output terminal.
Fail safe brakes are used for the roll and radial drives. The brakes engage
when the +24 V DC unregulated voltage is removed from its terminals.
When the safety circuit opens, the controller emergency stop input is set high
(+24V) which instantaneously disables all the motor drives. The controller
monitors the states of its inputs to discriminate between an emergency stop or
a collision condition, as follows:
Inputs
The safety circuit shuts down the system by opening the collision or E-STOP
circuits so that power to the motor drives and clutch/brake are interrupted. A
contact closure, COLLISION OVERRIDE, restores the system to its normal
state without the need to remove AC input power from the system. The other
power supplies remain operating when the safety circuit is enabled.
All motors have an encoder attached. The encoder has two phases in
quadrature with 1000 pulses/rev. and one home pulse per rev. All outputs are
differential. Four motors are fitted with an electric brake; the table
longitudinal and lateral motors do not have brakes. When the motors are
unpowered, the brakes are activated.
The longitudinal axis of the table has a dedicated axis of motion. This is the
X-axis of the motor controller. Also gantry roll has a dedicated axis of
motion, the Y-axis of the motor controller.
The motor controller has inputs for six encoders but only four outputs. Since
six axes of motion are needed (not simultaneously) the two remaining axes
(Z and T) are multiplexed, that is, motor power, brake power, and limit signals
(end-stop signals) are multiplexed.
The multiplexers are implemented by means of relays, a power relay for the
motor/brake and a signal relay for the limit signals. There is a set of relays for
each axis. The two multiplexers are driven by output 1 and 2 of the motor
controller. The Z-axis supports gantry radius 2 and table lateral motions. The
T-axis supports gantry radius 1 and table vertical motions.
Since all motor amplifiers are of switch-mode type, all cables carrying motor
current are shielded to avoid EMC problems. All encoder cables are shielded
to assure correct position feed-back.
All table motions and both gantry radius motions have hard mechanical
end-stops. Besides this, they have electromechanical limit-switches which
prevent hitting the end-stops hard.
WARNING
The mechanical end stop activates the limit switch of the Detector and
mechanically stops the Detector if the limit switch fails. Removal of the
mechanical end stop is prohibited under all circumstances! It is not
required for any service procedure or maintenance activity.
Gantry roll motion has no mechanical end-stop. Since the rotating detectors
are connected to the gantry by means of cables, rotational motion must be
limited prevent damage to the cables. The electronic circuit that limits roll
motion receives input from a number of optical switches activated by the
output shaft of the roll gearbox and the intermediate gear wheel. The right
combination of switches activates a latching relay which gives a limit signal
to the motor controller. The relay is reset when detectors are rotated
15 degrees in the opposite direction. The switch position must be
mechanically adjusted to make this circuit function as intended.

The system includes five RJ45 jacks: one at IPS, two at the gantry, and two at
the table. These jacks are connected in parallel to the controller. If a system
has multiple HHCs installed, one and only one motion command is executed
at a time. The controller ignores key presses while a motion is in progress.
New motion requests must be preceded with a release of all keys.
The controller servo parameters are programmable and can only be changed
in the gantry interface program.
Table 5-8 shows the type of stop that occurs when a limit switch is activated.
The roll limit-switch is an optical switch. The switch is located opposite the
roll limit board on the roll drive.
The other actuator is kept in its idle position by a spring rod. When the end of
this actuator hits either stop plate, it depresses SW2 or SW3.
The limit-switch circuit board also carries a total of six connectors. Besides
supporting the limit-switches, the board serves as an interconnecting panel for
various circuits in the detector:
5.6 Detectors
The detectors introduce a new approach to signal handling in gamma camera
detectors. When dealing with isotopes, which are commonly used clinically,
the level of light from a scintillation crystal is so low that the laws of statistics
are the dominating factor in determining the accuracy of the acquired data. It
is therefore important that as many photons as possible be collected, both for
energy and position determination. The design features the following:

5.6.2 Autotune
To increase the long term stability of the detectors, all PMTs are equipped
with an autotune facility. A built-in reference LED is turned on every
10 milliseconds by the LED drive signal. The signal is generated by a
common oscillator on the I/N board, with an ON time of approximately
3 microseconds. The light-pulse response height is sampled and compared
with the output from the 12 bit DAC for gain control. Any gain drift in the
PMTs is seen in the LED pulse response and is continuously corrected.
An optical couplant is used to mount the forty-eight square PM-tubes onto the
crystal. The PM-tubes are aligned in rows and columns and are supported at
the top by a 48 hole support plate. The holes provide access for electrical
connections to the PM-tubes and hold the PM-tubes in the right position on
the crystal. A spring element on top of each PM-tube firmly presses the
PM-tubes against the crystal, regardless of the detector's position.
Two lead shields are mounted on top of the casing to form a light-tight
shielded box with the PM-tubes inside. The detector's power supply and the
I/N board are located on the outside of the casing, one on each side.
The collision sensors are located on the front of the collimator. The sensors
are electrically connected to the gantry and table's motor controller by means
of a connector board located at the corner of the detector's casing.
Aluminum housing forms the outside of the detector. This covers the casing
and the outside mounted boards.

During tuning of the PM-tubes, digital tuning values are sent to a DAC (U3)
on each preamplifier via the daisy-chain.
The autotune circuit is controlled by the LED drive signal and the LED
sample signal. The autotune LED (in the PM-tubes) is lit for 3 microseconds
every 10 milliseconds when the LED drive signal turns Q1 ON. The response
value is stored on C6.
The sampled value is compared with the analog tune value and any gain drift
in the PM-tubes is corrected and reflected on the output of U2 (Pin 7).

The Dyncor driver module has been added to generate these energy
independent correction signals. Refer to Figure 5-24. The correction is done
in two levels: the high Dyncor and low Dyncor signals. In addition, a
threshold signal is applied to eliminate low level noise and signals that are too
low to provide useful positional information.

The energy signals coming from the PMT amplifiers in each row/column are
summed in the sum amplifier (U2), and the signal compensates for base-line
shift (offset). The after-glow time in the NaI scintillation crystal, especially at
high count rates, makes the crystal luminous resulting in a baseline shift of the
energy signal. A baseline restore circuit (U1A, B) is build around the
summing amplifier U2A to compensate for this.
The baseline compensated signal is applied to the lower and the upper Dyncor
op-amp (U4 and U5). A diode on the output ensures that only the positive part
of the signal is amplified.

The matrix board is supplied with ± 15 volts for the pre-amps and the Dyncor
modules and with HV for the PM-tubes. The HV can be controlled from the
I/N board by means of a serial 12-bit DAC (one element daisy chain).
The I/N board is supplied with ± 5 volts.
The input power for the ± 15 volt power supply is filtered by L1, L2, C1, and
C2. The power is switch mode regulated by U1 and input isolation is obtained
by the power converter consisting of transformer T1 and U2. The regulating
feed-back loop is formed by U3A with optocoupler U4 providing input
opto-isolation.
T1 also provides isolated power for the High Voltage (HV) step-up
transformer T2. From the associated rectifier circuit U10A, U12A and Q3
form the HV regulating circuit. The HV is controlled from the I/N board via
the serial DAC U20, U19B, and U10B. The power output from T2 marked
"±15B" is an internal power supply only. For diagnostic and testing purposes
U11 enables remote HV turn off and the jumper LOCAL/REMOTE (normally
in remote) enables the HV to be set to a fixed value (R105).

Each of the X-Y analog position signals are digitized in an input circuit which
integrates the digitized signal during an event so that the output signal from
the circuit is proportional to the energy of the analog current pulse from the
matrix board. A 10-bit A/D flash converter samples the input signal at
40 MHz rate before it is stored in the raw event buffer.
The input circuit for the energy signal is similar to the ones for position
signals but includes detection of signal slopes and events. Furthermore, the
circuit records the interval between the events (separation time) and the event
duration (integration time), which is 64 clock cycles (1.6 µsec.) if the event is
not interrupted by another event (pile-up).
The raw event buffer holds up to 64 events presented as four position signals,
the energy signal, the separation time from the previous event and the
integration time. The buffer circuit consists of two data FIFOs.
If the event buffer determines from the separation time(s) that two or more
events overlap, event pile-up occurs. Refer to Figure 5-30. The events are
separated and stored in the pile-up correction memory during pile-up
correction. The correction is done by looking up correction factors depending
on the integration time of each event. Only the energy data are pile-up
corrected. After pile-up correction, the data is latched to the normalization
memory.
WARNING
• The four casters on the mobile computer cart should be kept locked

• To prevent injury or equipment damage, always be aware of the
position of the interconnect cables when people are present or
equipment is being moved.
In the following procedure, you will observe five LEDs, located on the Roll
Limit Board, to verify the limit-switches are operating correctly.
The LEDs cycle ON/OFF many times during rotation of the detectors. It is

The High Voltage is adjusted in steps, going from a relatively low value and
upwards. For each HV step, 10 seconds are allowed for the autotune to lock in
on tubes that have reached their working limit. Also for each HV step, the
Working Point for each PMT is monitored. The HV continues to step upwards
until all PMT Working Point values are higher than 3. From that step the HV
is increased by another 50 volts, and that HV is stored in the tuning file.
When equilibrium has been reached for all tubes, the PMT tuning file is stored
with the final tuning values under a user specified file name in the pmt directory.
The PM tune table (PMT) generated using Tc-99m, 140 keV is normally

5. The best uniformity is decided by visual assessments. Note that with hot
tubes, a faint tube pattern is to be expected. Other faint patterns are also
acceptable as long as they appear soft without sharp edges.
2. Repeat the Offset Adjustments procedure in Section 6.4.7.9 for High Dyn
and Low Dyn only.
Before continuing with the calibration procedures, make sure the detector
lead rear covers have been installed.

5. Specify the detector number (either 1 or 2) and click the [OK] button.
6. Select the desired PM tune table (PMT).
7. Enter low energy peak (see Table 6-4 - Alternative Isotopes) and select
the [OK] button. The computer will now setup for the acquisition.
8. Click the [Yes] button to start the acquisition.
9. Proceed acquiring the high energy. Enter the energy peak and click the
[OK] button.
10. Start the acquisition by clicking the [Yes] button. The acquisition will
stop and exit automatically.
GeoCal adjusts the image geometry for symmetry and uniform spatial
registration over the energy range. Four multiple energy point sources are
placed on the outer calibration marks on the crystal surface and two images
are acquired in a dual energy setup. The position of the images of the point
sources are then calculated for both of the two energies. Based on the result,
the normalization table is modified to correct for any mismatch.
With this new normalization table applied, another iteration of acquisition and
calculation is run to check the result. The process is repeated typically three or
four times until numbers are within specification. The result is stored in the
correction file named "geo_cal".
3. Install the GeoCal template which is located in the Spatial Linearity Kit.
4. Position four collimated point sources “B” in Table 6-3 - Calibration
Isotopes through the four outer calibration marks on the template.
5. Select the Quality Control Card.
6. Click the <GeoCal> button.
7. Enter the low energy peak (see Table 6-4 - Alternative Isotopes) and click
the [OK] button.
8. Enter high the energy peak (see Table 6-4 - Alternative Isotopes) and click
the [OK] button.
9. Select the desired PM tune table (PMT).
10. Start acquisition by clicking the [Yes] button.
11. The acquisition will stop and exit automatically.
After Dyncor, GeoCal and Ecal calibration, the current PMT tuning file is no
longer valid. The update tuning must be updated before running the energy
and spatial corrections. The PM tune table generated using Tc99m, 140 keV is
normally named "PMT" in the protocols.

10. After the acquisition ends, enter the name of the PM tune table (PMT)
created. The PM tune table is normally named "PMT". Refer to Section
6.4.6. The name is entered in the Control Area.
11. Click the [OK] button to save the data and exit.

3. Install the phantom to acquire X-data. Figure 6-29 on the next page,
shows the phantoms.
WARNING
Do not place high activity sources (such as 3 mCi Co-57) close to an
uncollimated detector.
If exposed, long-term image quality effects may result.

A flood image is acquired with the alternative isotope using the Basic Spatial
Corrections. The calibration program then analyzes the image for
non-uniformities and generates appropriate delta corrections to the Spatial
Corrections, saving it in the lincorr directory as a new Spatial Correction,
with a user-specified name.
CAUTION
Source position is CRITICAL. It must be 3m, 20-25 Kcnts/s, with the
detector at least 89 cm (35 inches) from the floor.
Although Technetium and Cobalt are close in terms of photopeak energy, the
detector shows some non-uniformity when acquiring Cobalt floods with
Technetium corrections. The difference is associated with the spatial
corrections. To get around that problem, it has been decided to make
dedicated Cobalt spatial corrections available for the user.
If the detector is not supplied with dedicated linearity corrections for Co-57,
then they should be made on the site after installation. Co-57 linearity
corrections can easily be made as Second Order Corrections (SOC). This
would normally require a Co-57 point source, but since it is not commonly
available, a detuned Tc-99m spectrum will work as a substitute. Applying a
special PM tune table will make Tc-99m appear as Co-57 to the camera
system.
The "Tech.122" file is selected as PM tune table during the SOC generation
together with Technetium Energy Correction and Technetium Linearity
Correction.
Once these variables have been filled in, a new PM tune file is generated and
appears in the isotope window on the AUI. With the variable listed in Step 3,
the file appears as "tech.122. Selecting file "tech.122" will make Tc-99m
appear as Co-57 in the energy spectrum.
three windows for additional isotope energy peak can be entered. Click
the [OK] button to proceed.
8. Select corrections table, each time clicking the [OK] button:
• Click PMT for tuning corrections
• Click ECOR for energy corrections
• Click Base Spatial correction (i.e., Tc-99m or Co57)
9. Click the [Yes] button to start acquisition.
10. After completing the acquisition, enter the name(s) of the SOC table(s).
This is done in the Control Area.
11. Click the [Yes] button to save data and exit.

The general repair philosophy for the system and its Field Replaceable Unit
(FRU) is to repair hardware and software at a unit level. This system
conforms to standard FRU policies and uses as many common parts as
possible. Faults may be isolated to the FRU level with the use of this manual,
imbedded InSite capabilities, and internal diagnostics. We assume you have
enough knowledge of the UNIX environment to perform basic software and
network troubleshooting.
1. The Power Saver switch removes power from the gantry, Acquisition
computer and monitor, patient table, and the outlets on the IPS.
Power is not removed from the detectors.
2. The Main Power switch removes power from the entire system, including
the detectors.
WARNING
Before performing any repair or replacement other than software loading,
Lock-Out or Tag-Out (LO/TO) the power input cables.
CAUTION
After turning OFF either the Main or Power Saver switch, wait at least one
minute before switching the power back ON. This delay allows all the
power supplies to discharge.
If you simply turn OFF a Power switch (or press the reset switch on the
Acquisition computer), the system may take longer to power-up, data may
be lost, and some parts of the system may start in an unknown state.
e. Select [Yes].
Password: shutdown
Before performing any repair work on the system, please read Section 8.3, Safety
Important Considerations.
Password
8. If necessary, adjust the monitor's brightness and contrast. The controls are
below the monitor.
9. Check that the cursor (a single vertical line) is in the login screen. If it is
not, press <Enter> once.
10. Enter the following information in lowercase letters:
User name: genieacq
Password: genieacq
If your login name and password are valid, the main Acquisition User
Interface (AUI) appears.
The login screen appears automatically when you start the system and whenever it
Note is not in use. When a valid login name and password are entered, the Acquisition
software starts and the Acquisition User Interface (AUI) screen appears. The login
screen allows only authorized users access the system.
You can obtain a login name and password from the person at your site who is
responsible for the system. If the login name and password are lost, contact your
system vendor service representative for a replacement
11. Since power was removed from the Gantry and Table, they must be

The specific procedure for replacing the radial motor drive assembly depends
upon whether the drive is still functioning and can be used to position the
detectors in a radial position:
• If the drive is still functional and can move the detectors, go to:
Section 8.5.11.1, Replacing the Radial Motor Drive Assembly: Motion
Capabilities Exist.
• If the detectors cannot be moved, go to:
Section 8.5.11.2, Replacing the Radial Motor Drive Assembly: No
Motion Capabilities Exist.
WARNING
Before performing any repair on the radial drive, position the
detectors as shown in Figure 8-19. Do not, under any circumstances,
attempt to roll the gantry after removing one of the radial drives.
Failure to follow this warning may cause the detectors to move in an
uncontrolled manner to maximum or minimum radial position. This
movement may result in serious injury to you or other service
personnel.
8.5.11.1 Replacing the Radial Motor Drive Assembly: Motion Capabilities Exist
1. Remove the gantry rear cover to allow access to the radial drives.

long-term image quality damage if placed within 0.5m of a detector
without a collimator.
• Always turn OFF system power before removing any detector assembly.
CAUTION
• Do not attempt to rotate the gantry without the collimators installed on
the detectors.
• Detector cables should only be disconnected by a qualified service
technician.
• Do not remove the collimators unless absolutely necessary. The
collimators help protect the detectors from accidental damage and
minimize the effects of temperature change on the detectors.
• Position the detector in a horizontal position during repair procedures.
Most repair procedures can be performed in this position.
• Once the detector's cover is removed, the handles on the top lead
shieldings are visible. These are designed to carry the weight of the
shielding only. Do Not Try to Lift the Detector with these Handles.
• Before disassembling/reassembling any electronic assembly, take
standard precautions to protect the assembly against damage caused
by static discharges.
• When re-fitting the top lead shieldings, always use the correct screw
length and make sure that it is tightened to the specified torque.

5. Grasp the base cover of the faulty PMT carefully, and pull perpendicularly
towards the crystal face, until the tube loosens.
Note Take care that the surrounding tubes are not moved or affected.
During regreasing, or when replacing the crystal, only Alcohol should be used for
Note cleaning.
8. Unpack the spare PM-tube. All spare part PM-tubes are supplied with a
pattern of white paint applied to the face plate (refer to Figure 8-55). This
is done to decrease the response coming from tubes located in the center
and thereby minimize the raw image tube pattern. This means that spare
PM-tubes can be used as center tubes without any modification.
9. If the replaced PM-tube is an edge tube, remove the paint. The best way to
do this is to scrape off the paint using a plastic object, like a ruler
10. Before adding optical couplant to the replacement tube, check that the
face plate is clean.

When logging into AUI, if the Gantry does not initialize and the icon on the
Desktop is grayed out (disabled), Motion Controller initialization should be carried
out as follows:
1. Acquire several quality control scans (floods and bars) in order to determine the state of system
and to verify that the tuning & correction files were loaded correctly.
2. Verify that all User Templates have been restored
3. Acquire new COR’s for the system. Verify Gantry and Detector motion.
4. Acquire new Uniformity Corrections for the collimator used for SPECT acquisitions.
5. Exercise network connectivity to DICOM & Processing Stations.
6. Create a new system backup file (.GZ)
Since a number of configuration files have changed, a new system backup file
(.GZ) must be created and independently stored, using this new version of
software - GenieAcq V4.0 Build 14.
WARNING
If exchanged, the Sodium Iodide Crystal Assembly should be returned to
the system vendor for correct disposal.

the motion cycle.
Timer Displays the total time (seconds) for the number of iterations of motion for the
selected axes.
Iterations Up to 9999 cycles of motion (iterations) can be entered into this field.
For multiple–axis movements, one iteration includes the start of the first axis
movement and concludes with the completion of the last axis movement.
Iterations Completed Displays the number of motion cycles that have been completed for the selected
axes.
Cumulative Move Total Displays the accumulated number of motion cycles that have been completed.
The number continues to increment each time the exerciser is run. All six fields
are reset to zero by selecting the Reset Total button at the bottom of the EUI
window.

11.3.1 Introduction
The ELT is a Graphical User Interface used to display the error log.
The ELT (see Figure 11-4) is used locally by a field engineer (FE) or remotely
by the On-line Center (OLC) and by developers for diagnosing faults reported
by GenieAcq systems. The ELT provides the following features:
Database

• Search Facility – Enter text to use as key to match entries in the error
log in the Search field.
• Filters – (Severity, Sub-system, From, To, and Time) customize the
view of the error log. Filters can be combined to reduce the number of
errors displayed by the tool (see Figure 11-6).
• System Information page – a list of recent Critical errors, useful
system information and system statistics (see Figure 11-8 and
Figure 11-9).
You can remove unwanted errors and events by selecting one or more filters.
1. From the left side of the window in the Filters area (see Figure 11-6),
enter the filter parameters in the appropriate fields:
1. The search tool (see Figure 11-7), enables location of text within the error
log. In the Search field, enter the text to find in the text entry window.
2. Press the <Start> button at the bottom. Only the matching error log
entries will be displayed in the Error Log tab. The entries that contain the
matching text will be displayed and highlighted.
3. To view all the entries again, press the <Reset> button and then press the
<Start> button again.
Once the error log becomes full, the system saves the old pcacq_errors file
under names pcacq_errors.0, pcacq_errors.1 etc… and creates a new file
named pcacq_errors. To view old errors, which occurred in the past and are
not listed in the latest pcacq_errors file anymore, load the other
pcacq_errors.* files, as follows:
1. Click File>Open. The Open New Error Log File window is displayed.

Important I/N board failures reported through the diagnostic process should NOT result in the
immediate replacement of the I/N board. Test errors with the following numbers may
occur due to tight limits in the diagnostic software:
- 159: Corruption (X+Y+E)
- 160: Channel Baseline Offset Beyond Limit (X+X-Y+Y-E)
- 161: Channel Out of Limit (X+X-Y+Y-E)
- 162: Channel Limit
If these errors occur, repeat the diagnostic tests. Only consistent errors in multiple
passes reflect a real error, which should then result in the replacement of the I/N
board.
When testing the I/N Board, all tests and test results are communicated via the
TAXI Link between the Acquisition Console and the Detector (refer to
Figure 11-20 and Figure 11-21). Therefore, it is advisable to ensure that the
TAXI Link is fully operational before executing any of the tests. This is
achieved by performing the Framing Board to I/N Board Communication
Test, which is part of the Correction DSP Tests Package of the Framing
Board.
Always execute the test programs in the sequence in which they are listed in
this section. The results of many of the tests are dependent upon the
functionality of board circuits other than those tested. Executing the complete
test package assures that all functionality on the I/N Board has been tested.
If the CHECK IT 4 PRO diagnostics are run from the menu that is supplied with the
Note diagnostics package, the screen will go blank and the system will require a reboot.
This is due to an incompatibility with the current video card.
The ping test is the simplest way to find out if a hardware node on your
network is operating. The ping test sends a data packet to a specified node.
See Figure 11-22.
Sending Receiving
"PING"
NETWORK NETWORK
When the specified node receives the packet, it sends a reply packet back to
the sending node. See Figure 11-23.
CTSC_OC0
CTSC_OC0
IS ALIVE
NETWORK NETWORK
If the sending node does not receive a reply packet within a second, it
re-sends the data packet to the specified node. The sending node continues to
re-send the data packet to the specified node (one packet per second) until a
reply packet is received or until a time-out period has expired (the default
time is 20 seconds).
Important Ping does not pass through gateways and some routers. If the device being tested
is on the other side of a router that does not pass a ping, you will not receive an
answer from that device.
Use the ping test to verify that a specified node can receive data packets:
1. Check to make sure that the node being tested is powered up and running.
2. Check for damage to the hardware between the two nodes.
3. Enter the following command inserting the hostname or IP address where
specified. UNIX commands are case sensitive. The commands must be
lowercase and hostnames must be uppercase:
ping <hostname or IP address>
or
ping 192.1.2.1
4. When the specified node has received the data packet, the following
message displays at the sending host:
For example, if the specified node was CTSC_OC0, the message would
be:
CTSC_OC0 is alive
5. If the specified node does not respond before time–out, the following
message displays at the sending host:
For example, if the specified node was CTSC_OC0, the message would
be:
6. If the specified node does not reply to the ping test, it could be that the
node has lost power, has crashed, or there may be a hardware problem
between the sending node and the specified node.
There may be network problems that ping, spray, and netstat cannot detect. A
node may respond to the ping command and still be unable to transfer images.
This is because these tests do not function at the application level.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) functions at all OSI levels. FTP is a program that
transfers files to and from another node. Use the FTP test to determine if
images can be transferred across the network to a specified node. Other
advantages of FTP over ping are:
• FTP tests networks at the protocol level.
• Transferring images takes enough time to allow netstat to monitor the
transfer on the receiving node while the transfer is taking place.
Use the netstat command on the receiving node while transferring, to
determine if the traffic between the nodes being tested is significantly
higher than on the other nodes.
The three FTP commands used in the test are listed in Table 11-4.
put put file_name Sends a file by the name file_name to the other
node accessed by the open command.
get get file_name Transfers a file by the name file_name from the
other node accessed by the open command.
7. Transfer an image across the network from your node to the specified
remote node by entering the following:
put <file name>
OUTPUTS
INPUTS
The LED labeled "µP ON" on the motion controller indicates the overall
health of the controller. It flickers on power-up, and then stays ON
continuously except for when it is receiving communication over the RS-232
port. The normal state for this light when Acquisition is not connected or up is
continuously ON. With Acquisition connected, the light will blink quickly
during the booting of Acquisition and then at a rate of about once every half a
second, the rate at which Acquisition requests position information from the
controller.
If the light continuously flickers with a noticeable period with the light OFF
between flickers, this means that the controller's watchdog circuit is timing
out, putting the controller into the reset mode. This could happen for one of
two reasons:
1. The input 5V that powers the processor board has dropped to a point
where it is bordering on the lowest acceptable voltage level for the
controller, 4.62V.
2. The software is not booting correctly. This could be the case if a new
version of firmware was just installed into the controller. If new firmware
was just installed, check to be sure that the E-PROMS were burned
correctly.
If the light does not come ON at all or flickers and then stays OFF, it means
that the controller's watchdog circuit will not let the controller out of reset. In
this case, the input voltage should be checked to be sure that it is at least 4.85
volts, but preferably a solid 5 volts.
If all of the above checks out, and the light still does not stay ON except for
the normal flashing due to Acquisition communication, replace the controller
and contact ACS Engineering information for more in-depth troubleshooting
procedures.
Important Two outputs (OUT3 and OUT4) are used to multiplex primary, secondary, and third
input banks into six inputs (IN4, IN6, IN7, IN8, IN15 and IN16).

There is one light above each of the drive connectors (TB5, TB6, TB15, and
TB16) on the controller. The following applies to these lights:
• The light is ON when the drive is enabled and OFF when it is
disabled.
• When using the HHC to jog each axis, the corresponding light (X for
longitudinal, Y for roll, Z for radial 1 or vertical, and T for radial 2 or
lateral) should light and stay lit.
• The lights for Z and T will go OFF during the switching of the
multiplexed axes.
• Drives stay enabled once enabled until disabled by a Reset command
or a collision E-stop.
• If any one of these LEDs tries to turn ON but then flashes OFF in
response to a HHC motion key press, this means the axis is faulting.
When the screws are tightened and secured with locking fluid, the shuddering
disappears.
CAUTION
Always use caution when handling an Encoder. It is a precise optical
measuring instrument and should be handled accordingly.
1. Move the IPS and open the rear cover (5) of the Encoder (2) - see

WARNING
Most repair procedures direct you to remove power from the system.
However, some repair/replacement procedures require the detectors be
placed in a particular position which requires power to be maintained.
To prevent unexpected motion and prevent injury or damage to equipment,
disconnect or restrict access to all Hand-Held Controllers, as well as the
Acquisition computer and press all system E-Stop buttons.
Some of the tasks the Field Engineer is responsible for are no longer performed on

12.3 Procedures
12.3.1 General
12.3.1.1 Clean Outside Surfaces of Gantry, Table and Acquisition Pc of Dust and
Debris
Use a vacuum to remove dust and debris that has collected on the
system, especially at the back of the Gantry and PC chassis, where
cooling fans are located.
At least once a month, external metallic surfaces should be wiped with
a moistened clean towel and mild detergent, to remove any foreign
material that may have accumulated. Enameled surfaces should be
cleaned using a clean cloth moistened slightly with a good quality
mild cleaner and polish acceptable for such use.
The monitor screens on the system are used for operator feedback and
image review. These screens should be kept clean and mark free for
optimal performance.
Clean up of radionuclide spilled on the device may be done using
standard radioactive decontamination solutions. However, strong
cleaners or solvents should be used with caution as they may damage
painted surfaces. Refer to your Nuclear medicine department’s
radioactive decontamination procedures.
It is important at all times that any areas that come into direct contact
with the patients should be regularly cleaned and disinfected. This
applies particularly to the imaging table. All surfaces should be wiped
with a mild disinfecting agent, such as alcohol or Chlorhexidine (2%
solution in water) daily.
Disk Space
Indicator
12.3.3 Monitor
1. Check that all hardware that holds the keyboard and monitor trays
is in place and tight. Check that the monitor is firmly in place and
all hardware used to retain the monitor is in place and tight.
2. Check all four cart wheels roll properly and that they are mounted
tightly to the cart base. Check the operation of the wheel locks.
WARNING
The mechanical end stop activates the limit switch of the Detector and
mechanically stops the Detector if the limit switch fails. Removal of the
mechanical end stop is prohibited under all circumstances! It is not
required for any service procedure or maintenance activity.
Verify that the absolute X COR value displayed is less than or equal to
5 mm.
The X COR Variation and Y Variation should both be less than 4 mm.
1. Closely inspect the two collimator guide and four latching pins on
the detector face. Look for loose hardware, cracks or other
mechanical damage to surfaces of these pins.
2. Replace any of the pins that are damaged or exhibit uneven ware
as compared with the others.
Note This step can be done in conjunction with the collimator cart inspection.
1. Check all four cart wheels roll properly and that they are mounted
tightly to the cart base. Check the operation of the two rear wheel
locks. Make sure that the wheel locks in fact hold the collimator

12.3.9 Gantry
Verify the operation each of the following safety features found on the
Gantry.
E-Stops
The Gantry has two red emergency stop push buttons on either side of
the Gantry ring. Check both of the push buttons for proper operation.
Gantry and table motion should not be possible while either of the
emergency stop switches are engaged.
Collision Override
Located on the back of each detector are two Collision Override
buttons. These buttons permit slow speed motions when the Gantry is
in a collision mode. Check these switches for proper operation by
creating a collision, (have an assistant press and hold the collision
sensor on a collimator or remove collimators), and confirm that
Gantry slow speed motion is only possible while pressing the collision
override button.
ABC Option (if equipped)
The Automatic Body Contour (ABC) option controls the positioning
of the detector heads, ensuring that a distance of 10 mm is constantly
maintained between the heads and the patient’s body, in both SPECT
and Whole Body Scans. An infrared transmitter and receiver attached
to each detector head, automatically control the distance between the
detectors and the patient.
Note The ABC option can only be used in 180° opposed mode.
Acquire a Whole Body Scan and verify that the option is work
correctly. Refer to Millennium MG ABC Option - Service Manual,
Direction 2263788-100, if necessary.
WARNING
Observe proper “Lock Out Tag Out” procedures with next steps.
Place the Gantry in “Standby Mode”. Remove the outside cover and
undock the IPS chassis from the rear of the Gantry. Vacuum any dust
and debris from the outside of the chassis. Check to make sure that
debris has not accumulated under the IPS chassis.
Turn off all power to systems. Remove the IPS chassis cover and
carefully vacuum the interior of the IPS of dust that may have
accumulated. Return system power but leave the Gantry in “Standby
Mode”. Observe that the two cooling fans in the base of the IPS are
spinning slowly and that the airflow is out of the bottom of the IPS.
Return Gantry to “Normal Mode” and observe that the two cooling
fans speed up. Replace IPS chassis cover.
Inspect all cables connections on back and front of the IPS chassis.
Each connector should be firmly mounted and retaining hardware
tightened. There should be no loose or torn cable insulation or
exposed wires.
WARNING
During lubrication, the Gantry is rotated with a number of pinch-points
exposed. Be careful when performing these procedures.
If you do not have a grease gun for these countersunk fittings, the grease can be
Note applied with brush, directly on the ball bearings exposed between the raceways.
Figure 12-12 shows the location of the grease fittings when Detector
#1 is at 0°and Detector #2 is at 180°.
1. Use a clean cloth to remove old grease coming out of these three
grease fittings and along the raceways of the rotate bearing.
2. Rotate the Gantry until the inner grease fitting is at the top. This
position results in better distribution of the lubricant in the
WARNING
During lubrication, the Gantry is rotated with a number of pinch-points
exposed. Be careful when performing these procedures.
2. Remove Gantry base cover to gain access to the roll drive gear
wheels.
3. Use a clean cloth to remove old grease at the edge of the toothed
rim on the rotate bearing and motor drive gears.
4. Use a small brush to apply a fine layer of grease to the bearing.
5. Rotate the Gantry in 90° increments and apply a thin layer of
grease at each setting. You will have to rotate the Gantry both CW
and CCW to do this.
6. Rotate the Gantry CW and CCW to distribute the grease.
WARNING
During lubrication, the radial drive assembly is moved with a number of
pinch-points exposed. Be careful when performing these procedures.
Important note
WARNING
The mechanical stop block activates the limit switch of the detector and with the
mechanical stopper it stops the detector mechanically if the limit switch fails.
Removal of the mechanical stop block is prohibited under all circumstances!
WARNING
During lubrication, the roll lock assembly is removed and a number of
pinch-points are exposed. Large mass of detectors can be a source of
stored mechanical power. The roll-lock must only be removed when the
detectors are in the opposed mode, with Detector #1 at 0° and Detector #2
at 180°. Be careful when performing these procedures.
1. Run each of the Gantry axes individually to the extent of its travel.
Check that the motion runs smoothly and stops within the
expected locations.
Gantry Rotation
Gantry rotation is measured from 0° in the home position, with
Detector 1 located at the top of its rotation and facing straight
down. The Gantry can be rotated between -270° and +270°, one
and a half rotations around the patient. Limit switches on the
rotation drive mechanism enforce the limits of rotation. If the
Gantry is rotated to either the positive or negative limit, then
rotating away from the limit is the only direction allowed until the
switches are reset at 15° away from the limit.
