1A.9.3 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

In accordance with the intended use, this X-ray generator complies with the European Council Directive
concerning Medical Devices. The CE marking affixed to this product signifies this. One of the harmonized
standards of this Directive defines the permitted levels of electromagnetic emission from this equipment
and its required immunity from the electromagnetic emissions of other devices.

It is not possible, however, to exclude with absolute certainty the possibility that other high frequency
electronic equipment, which is fully compliant to the EMC regulations, will not adversely affect the
operation of this generator. If the other equipment has a comparatively high level of transmission power
and is in close proximity to the generator, these EMC concerns (the risk of interference) may be more
pronounced. It is therefore recommended that the operation of equipment of this type such as mobile
telephones, cordless microphones and other similar mobile radio equipment be restricted from the vicinity
of this X-ray generator.

1A.10.0 TECHNIQUE FACTORS DEFINITIONS

• KV: KV peak after any initial kV overshoot.


• TIME: Time in milliseconds, (ms) that the high voltage (anode to cathode) is greater than or
equal to 75% of the desired kV.
• mA: Average Tube Beam Current (in mA) during the exposure TIME.
• mAs milliampere-seconds (mA x TIME).

2.9.6 Room Equipment

Refer to chapter 3B, 3D, 3E, and 3F for connection of the room equipment (Buckys, miscellaneous inputs
and outputs, AEC, ABS, DAP, etc.). It is suggested that these items not be connected until after the initial
run-up of the generator is complete, and the tube auto calibration has been performed as described near
the end of this chapter.

2.9.7 Emergency Power Off / Power Distribution Relay

To connect an external emergency power-off switch, disconnect the jumper from J17-1 to J17-2 on the
generator interface board. Then connect the emergency-off switch to J17-1 and J17-2. Refer to MD-0762
in chapter 9.
For installations where installer-supplied auxiliary power distribution circuits are added to the
generator, 24 VDC is available on the generator interface board to drive the coil of the power distribution
relay. Connect the coil to J17-3 (+) and J17-4 (ground). Refer to MD-0788 in chapter 9. The maximum
current available from this source is 100 mA.

2.10.0 X-RAY TUBE HOUSING GROUND

A separate ground wire (10 AWG, 6mm2) must be connected from each X-ray tube housing to one of the
ground studs on the HT tank. Refer to figure 2-8 or 2-9. These ground locations may have other ground
wires already connected, ensure that these existing ground wires are not disconnected when making the
X-ray tube ground connection.

Failure to make this ground connection may result in intermittent operation and/or exposure errors.

2.11.0 HIGH TENSION CABLES

The X-ray tube(s) should be mounted on their normal fixtures i.e. tube stand, G.I. table or other devices.

1. Verify that the HT cable terminations are clean, in good condition i.e. no cracks, and coated with
vapor proof compound.

2. Remove the plastic caps that cover the high voltage terminals on the HT tank. These should be
saved in case of a future requirement to transport the generator or HT tank.

3. Connect the high tension cables as per the installation requirements. Use the right angle
connectors for the HT transformer end. Ensure that the cables for tube 1 (and tube 2 if used) are
plugged into the proper connectors on the HT tank. Refer to figure 2-8 and 2-9.
On two tube R&F generators, the fan may need to be removed in order to install
the tube 2 HT connectors. To do this, disconnect the AC power leads from the fan. Next,
remove and temporarily set aside the two socket - head screws and washers from the fan
mounting bracket. Slide the fan assembly forward, and then remove the fan assembly to
connect the HT cables.
To re-install the fan assembly, slide the fan assembly into position under the
inverter assembly, using the tabs on the mounting bracket to support the inside end of the
bracket. Replace the screws and washers to secure the fan assembly. Lastly, reconnect
the AC power leads to the fan.

4. Be sure that the HT cable connectors are tight and there is no play between the connector
insulator and the screw down ring.

NOTE: PLEASE OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING IF USING METAL CENTER SECTION X-RAY TUBES

The mA feedback signals, as measured at the mA test points on the control board, represent anode mA.
X-ray emission in the tube is a result of the anode current.

The mA measured at terminals E17 - E18 of the HT tank is cathode current. In a metal center section
tube, the anode current will be less than the cathode current, the difference being body current. In a metal
center section tube, the cathode current may exceed the anode current by up to 15%. Although the
anode and cathode currents may be unequal, the anode to cathode kV regulation is not affected.

Due to the presence of body current, filament drive and emission may need to be greater than expected
for a given mA station. The power “lost” to body current may need to be considered relative to the
maximum generator output.

When installing a metal center section tube, it is essential that the center section of the X-ray tube be
securely grounded; otherwise premature tube failure may result.

determined by the run-voltage setting on the power supply auxiliary transformer. Refer to figure
2-10.
• Locate this transformer under the power input board; refer to chapter 1E for details.
• Locate the run-voltage output on the transformer. This will be set to the 52V, 73V, or 94V tap,
and must match the required run-voltage for the selected tube in table 1.
• Go to 2.12.4 if the run-voltage setting is correct for the selected tube type, and therefore does
NOT need to be changed.

2. If the run-voltage setting on the power supply auxiliary transformer needs to be changed, proceed
as follows:
• Loosen the clamping screws for the current run-voltage tap, and for the required run-voltage
tap.
• Move the run-voltage output lead from the current tap position to the required tap position

1. Confirm the current low speed starter boost time selection:


• Locate jumper JW1 on the auxiliary board. Refer to chapter 1E for the board location.
• Confirm that the current boost time setting matches the tube in use: Jumper position “1.5S” =
1.5 second boost, no jumper at JW1 = 2.5 second boost. Do not use the “.15S” position.

2. If required, adjust the boost time by changing the JW1 jumper position as described above.

NOTE: CONFIRM PROPER LOW SPEED STARTER CONFIGURATION USING A SUITABLE TACHOMETER
BEFORE MAKING ANY EXPOSURES.

2.13.0 PROGRAMMING THE DUAL SPEED STARTER

This section applies only to units fitted with the dual speed starter option.

The dual speed starter must be programmed for the X-ray tube type(s) used at this site. This is done via
DIP switches SW1 and SW2 on the dual speed starter.

The following tube functions are set with these switches:


• High speed start and run voltages
• Low speed start and run voltages
• Brake time and brake voltage (high speed)
• Boost times
• Boost time increments. Boost time may be increased in 100 ms steps in the range of 100 to 700 ms

SW1 and SW2 on the dual speed starter must be set correctly to match the X-ray tube(s) in
use. Failure to set these correctly may result in improper anode RPM and therefore may
damage the X-ray tube.
PLEASE BE SURE TO READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS SECTION FULLY BEFORE
PROCEEDING.

2.13.1 Setting tube type

1. Select the desired tube type from table 2 in Supplement 746026 which follows Chapter 2.
Record the tube type number (housing and insert) and the binary code as per the third column in
the table. Please note that the tube compatibility applies only to the housing and inserts listed, i.e.
for the specific manufacturer(s) shown.

2. If the desired tube type is not listed, please contact CPI product support for assistance.

3. The generator is factory configured to support one type of stator only (for example “R” type
stator), therefore only stators of that type may be used with this generator. Refer to the customer
product description form in chapter 1D of this manual for compatible X-ray tubes.
REFER TO SECTION 2.13.2 IF IT IS DESIRED TO USE TUBES WITH STATOR TYPES
NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THIS GENERATOR, OR IF YOU ARE NOT CERTAIN THAT THIS
GENERATOR IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE STATOR IN YOUR TUBE.

2.13.1 Setting tube type (cont)

4. Refer to figure 2-11. Set the DIP switch SW1 (for tube 1) with the binary code for the selected
tube. The binary code shown in the table programs the tube type (housing and insert), for
example housing type Varian Diamond with standard “R” stator and inserts per table 2 in
Supplement 746026 which follows Chapter 2, requires SW1-1 to be set OFF, SW1-2 OFF, SW1-
3 ON, SW1-4 OFF and SW1-5 OFF. This programs the voltages, brake times, and boost times in
table 2.
Additionally, SW1-6 to SW1-8 may be set to give incremental increases in boost time
over the preselected values (for example to run an older tube with worn bearings). For example,
binary 000 gives zero increase, binary 001 gives 100 ms increase, binary 100 gives 400 ms
increase, and binary 111 gives a 700 ms increase in boost time. SW1-6 represents bit 1, SW1-7
bit 2, and SW1-8 represents bit 3.

EXAMPLE:
Binary 100 = decimal 4 = 400 ms incremental boost time increase:

1 0 0
Bit 3 Bit 2 Bit 1
SW1-8 SW1-7 SW1-6

5. The example DIP switch setting shown in figure 2-11 is for the example in step 4 with an
incremental increase in boost time of 200 ms.

6. If this is a two-tube installation, repeat steps 1 to 4 using DIP switch SW2 for the second tube.

7. Please confirm all settings using a suitable tachometer to ensure proper anode RPM
before making any exposures.

NOTE: FOR TUBES WHERE “LOW SPEED OPERATION ONLY” IS INDICATED, THE DUAL SPEED
STARTER MUST BE PROGRAMMED FOR LOW SPEED ONLY, AND WHERE “HIGH SPEED
OPERATION ONLY” IS INDICATED, THE DUAL SPEED STARTER MUST BE
PROGRAMMED FOR HIGH SPEED OPERATION ONLY. REFER TO THE TUBE SELECTION
SECTION IN CHAPTER 3C FOR THE PROCEDURE TO DO THIS.

NOTE THAT THE EXAMPLE DIP SWITCH SHOWN IN FIGURE 2-11 IS REPRESENTATIVE
OF ONE STYLE OF SWITCH ONLY. DEPENDING ON MANUFACTURER, YOUR DIP SWITCH
STYLE MAY VARY. PLEASE NOTE THE ON/OFF POSITIONS CAREFULLY FOR YOUR
UNIT.

2.13.2 Confirming/Changing DSS Starter Type

The low speed and high speed phase shift capacitors for the stator start winding must be matched to the
desired stator type, for example the required high speed phase shift capacitor is 6 uF for “R” type stators
and 7.5 uF for GE Maxiray type stators. Therefore, for example, a dual speed starter configured for an “R”
type stator CANNOT drive a GE Maxiray type stator.
Use the steps in this section to verify that the dual speed starter is compatible with the stator in
the desired tube.

1. Record the part number of the dual speed starter assembly in the subject generator. This is
printed on a label near the top of the dual speed starter chassis.

2.13.2 Confirming/Changing DSS Starter Type (Cont)

2. Locate that part number in table 2 in Supplement 746026 which follows Chapter 2, then note the
value of the H.S. SHIFT CAPAC and the L.S. SHIFT CAPAC per the table. Those are the values
of the phase shift capacitors in the dual speed starter. Only tubes requiring those capacitor
values may be connected to the dual speed starter.
3. If it is desired to use a different tube from that shown in the compatible X-ray tubes section of the
customer product description form, confirm that the desired tube (housing and insert) is listed in
table 2 AND that the required dual speed starter part number for that tube per table 2 is the same
as is fitted in your generator.
4. If the preceding steps confirm that the desired tube is fully compatible with the generator, you
may proceed with setting the tube type as per section 2.13.1.
5. If in the preceding steps it is determined that the desired stator IS NOT compatible with the
generator, the phase shift capacitors in the dual speed starter will need to be changed to match
the requirements of the desired tube. Replacement capacitor kits are available to do this as noted
in the next step.
6. Note the required H.S. SHIFT CAPAC and L.S. SHIFT CAPAC values, and the corresponding
dual speed starter part number for the desired tube per table 2. Using those capacitor values,
refer to table 2-1. From this table select the required conversion kit to convert to capacitors as
required for the selected tube. The conversion kits are available through the factory/customer
support.

2.13.4 Configuring dual speed starter 733317-08 / 735925-08

Dual speed starter part number 733317-08 / 735925-08 is a special configuration in which the phase shift
capacitors may be set to 5 and 30 uF, or to 6 and 31 uF. This is intended for use in installations where it
may be necessary to interface to either IAE tubes, or to “R” stator tubes.
Refer to figure 2-12. In configuration “A”, (5 / 30 uF) each of the leads on the upper left capacitor
is connected to one side of the capacitor. Thus the capacitor is in-circuit in this configuration.
Configuration “B” (6 / 31 uF) has both leads connected to terminals on the same side of the capacitor,
thus the capacitor is out of the circuit.
• To change from configuration “A” to “B”, disconnect the right hand lead from the upper left capacitor
in figure 2-12, and connect it to one of the spare terminals on the terminal cluster that has the other
capacitor lead connected to it. This removes that capacitor from the circuit.

2.14.0 GENERATOR LOCKOUT SWITCH

A safety lockout switch (S3) is provided on the generator interface board. When this switch is in the
LOCKOUT position, the generator cannot be switched on either from the console or from the adjacent
service switch S2 on the generator interface board. This prevents inadvertent switching on of the
generator while it is being serviced.
S3, the generator lockout switch, must be in the NORMAL position to enable switching the
generator on. Refer to figure 2-13 for these switch locations.

2.15.0 SAFETY INTERLOCKS

It is strongly recommended that the following two interlocks be wired to the generator before preparing to
make any exposures:

DOOR INTERLOCK
The room door interlock switch must be wired to TB4-4 and TB4-5 on the room Interface board. This
switch will provide a closed contact when the door is closed.

X-RAY TUBE THERMAL SWITCH


The X-ray tube(s) thermal switch(s) should be connected to the generator for tube thermal protection.
These may be connected either at the stator terminal blocks (section 2.9.4), or at the room interface
board. The connections on the room interface board are TB4-8 and TB4-9 for tube 1, and TB4-6 and
TB4-7 for tube 2.

2.16.0 CHECKING THE RAM BACKUP BATTERY VOLTAGE

It is recommended that the backup battery voltage be checked before continuing. The normal life
expectancy of these batteries is estimated at 5 years.

CONSOLE CPU BOARD (23 X 56 cm consoles):

1. Turn the operator console upside down carefully to protect the front panel. Remove the 6 screws
securing the base to the molded case.

2. Open the Console carefully such that the interconnecting cables are not strained.

3. Locate the battery on the console CPU board, refer to figure 2-15. Measure the battery voltage
with a DVM. The top of the battery is the positive side; ground (TP2 on the board) is the negative
side.

4. The nominal battery voltage should be approximately 3.0V, replace the battery if it is under
2.80V.

5. Before closing the console, refer to section 2.17.0, console CPU board DIP switch settings.

6. Re-assemble the console. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE SCREWS SECURING THE BASE TO

2.18.0 INITIAL RUN-UP

This section describes the procedure for initial power-on of the generator after it has first been installed.

PLEASE OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING POINTS REGARDING THE MAIN DISTRIBUTION


TRANSFORMER:
• IF USING A DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMER WITH AN ISOLATED SECONDARY, THE
SECONDARY WINDING MUST BE A WYE (STAR) CONFIGURATION WITH THE CENTER
POINT GROUND REFERENCED. DO NOT USE A DELTA CONFIGURED SECONDARY AS
THERE IS NO GROUND REFERENCE IN THIS CONFIGURATION.
• IF USING AN AUTOTRANSFORMER TYPE DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMER, THE A.C.
INPUT TO THE TRANSFORMER MUST BE GROUND REFERENCED.

2.18.1 Initial Voltage Measurements

1. Verify that the mains voltage and current capacity is correct for the generator installation. Refer to
the product ID label on the generator cabinet and chapter 1C of this manual.

2. Temporarily remove the safety cover over the main input fuses in the generator.

3. If the mains supply is compatible with the generator, switch on the main breaker and/or
disconnect switch and check for the following voltages:

NOTE: DO NOT SWITCH ON THE GENERATOR AT THIS TIME (ONLY THE AC MAINS TO THE
GENERATOR IS TO BE SWITCHED ON AT THIS TIME).

WARNING: 1. USE EXTREME CARE IN MEASURING THESE VOLTAGES. ACCIDENTAL CONTACT


WITH MAINS VOLTAGES MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
2. MAINS VOLTAGE WILL BE PRESENT INSIDE THE GENERATOR CABINET, EVEN WITH
THE CONSOLE SWITCHED OFF.
3. THE BUS CAPACITORS, LOCATED ON THE POWER INPUT BOARD OR ON THE BUS
CAPACITOR ASSEMBLY (SINGLE PHASE UNITS ONLY), PRESENT A SAFETY HAZARD
FOR A MINIMUM OF 5 MINUTES AFTER THE POWER HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE
UNIT. CHECK THAT THESE CAPACITORS ARE DISCHARGED BEFORE TOUCHING ANY
PARTS.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE VOLTAGE MEASURED IN STEP 4 WILL NOT NECESSARILY BE THE
SAME AS THE VOLTAGE AT THE MAIN DISCONNECT BOX IN THE ROOM. THE REASON FOR
THIS IS THAT A LINE ADJUSTING TRANSFORMER MAY BE USED WITH THE GENERATOR
WHICH STEPS THE INCOMING LINE VOLTAGE TO THE GENERATOR UP OR DOWN.
GENERATORS WITH NO LINE ADJUSTING TRANSFORMER SHOULD HAVE THE SAME
VOLTAGE IN STEP 4 AS IS SUPPLIED AT THE MAIN DISCONNECT BOX IN THE ROOM. UNITS
WITH A LINE ADJUSTING TRANSFORMER SHOULD HAVE THE FOLLOWING VOLTAGES AT THE
MAIN LINE FUSES IN THE POWER SUPPLY CABINET.

VOLTAGE AT MAIN DISCONNECT BOX VOLTAGE AT MAIN FUSES IN POWER SUPPLY


(LINE ADJUSTING TRANSFORMER INPUT) (LINE ADJUSTING TRANSFORMER OUTPUT)
480 VAC ± 10 % 400 VAC ± 10 %

5. Are these voltages within specification for the unit as per chapter 1C for generators without a line
adjusting transformer, or within specification per the table above for units with a line adjusting
transformer? For 3 phase units, the phase to ground voltage should be 230 V ± 10 % for 400 V
units, and 277 V ± 10 % for 480 V units. For single phase 230 V units, the line to ground voltage
should be 115 V ± 10 %.
___ Check

BEFORE CONTINUING, REFER TO SECTION 2.18.3 OR 2.18.4 FOR THE PROCEDURE FOR
ADJUSTING LINE VOLTAGE TAPS ON THE ROOM INTERFACE TRANSFORMER AND THE POWER
SUPPLY AUXILIARY TRANSFORMER.

6. Switch OFF the mains power to the generator. Verify that there is no voltage present across any
of the mains input phases. Replace the safety cover on the main input fuse block, then switch ON
the mains and generator.

7. Verify that the red LED (DS1) located near the center of the generator interface board is lit.

2.20.0 TUBE AUTO CALIBRATION

It is recommended that the generator be tested at this point with only the rotor and high tension cables
connected. The generator should be able to complete an X-ray tube calibration and seasoning cycle
without other equipment connected to the generator (other than the basic interlocks as noted below). This
will allow for easier fault isolation as each section of the system is connected and tested.
Before being able to make X-ray exposures, the room door interlock must be closed and the
thermal switch must be closed.
Prior to beginning tube auto calibration, the tube(s) used in this installation must be properly
selected, and the generator limits should be programmed. Refer to chapter 3C.
It is recommended that the tube(s) be conditioned (seasoned) before beginning tube auto
calibration; refer to chapter 6.

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES PRODUCE X-RAYS. TAKE ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
TO PROTECT PERSONNEL FROM X-RADIATION.

CAUTION: ALWAYS VERIFY THE MANUFACTURER OF THE TUBE INSERT. IF THE X-RAY TUBE HAS

3.0 DUAL SPEED STARTER TUBE SELECT TABLE

The Dual Speed Starter synthesizes its output frequencies independently of the line frequency and will operate all tubes at 60 and 180 Hz, unless a
particular tube only has published ratings to operate at 150 Hz, as indicated in the table. In this case, the starter will output 150 Hz when set for these tubes.

3.0 Dual Speed Starter Tube Select Table (cont)

THE DUAL SPEED STARTER USES MODULATION STRATEGIES TO OBTAIN THE DESIRED OUTPUTS. MEASURED VOLTAGES MAY NOT AGREE WITH
THOSE LISTED IN THE TABLE. HOWEVER, THE CURRENTS FLOWING IN THE STATOR WINDINGS ARE EQUIVALENT TO THOSE THAT WOULD EXIST
IF THE STATOR WAS EXCITED WITH THESE VOLTAGES.

NOTE 1: Tube types designated as low speed only or high speed only must be programmed for low speed only or high speed only operation.
Refer to chapter 3, section 3C.5.1 for details (Indico 100 only).

NOTE 2: Two settings are shown for the Dunlee PX1400 tube with “S” stator. The settings with the 4.5 sec boost times are per older Dunlee data sheets. The
values with the 1.9 sec boost times are per newer Dunlee data sheets (May 2002). The installer must verify tube compatibility per the appropriate
Dunlee tube data sheet.

* Dual speed starter part numbers 733317-XX are used in 400 VAC 3φ generators / power supplies and in 480 VAC 3φ generators / power supplies
with a line adjusting transformer.
Dual speed starter part numbers 735925-XX are used in 230 VAC 1φ generators / power supplies and in 480 VAC 3φ direct input generators /
power supplies (using no line adjusting transformer).

NOTE 3: Dual speed starters 733317-08 / 735925-08 have a jumper selectable phase shift capacitor that allows selection of 5 uF and 30 uF capacitors for
operation with IAE tubes that use dual speed starter 733317-05 / 735925-05 as per table 2, or this may be set to 6 uF and 31 uF for operation with

ARE NOT AVAILABLE SIMULTANEOUSLY. TOTAL POWER CONSUMPTION MUST NOT
EXCEED 350 VA.

Indico 100 Series Service Manual Ch # 740895-05 Rev. J Page 3B-7


3B System Interfacing CPI Canada Inc.

3B.3.3 Selecting Output Voltages (Cont)

The above voltage sources are not compatible with:

• Collimator lamps (24 VDC 150 watts). These exceed the 4 Amp rating of the 24 VDC supply. Contact your
generator supplier regarding the optional 24VAC / 30VDC room power kit, which may be used for
collimators and other room electromechanical devices.
• Fluorescent lamps. These have high starting currents and generate transients when the tube strikes.
• Some inductive loads may cause difficulties (for example some motors, under table tube fans, and
solenoids).

IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT CLAMPING / RECOVERY DIODES BE USED ON


INDUCTIVE DEVICES SUCH AS RELAYS ETC WHICH ARE CONNECTED TO THE ROOM
INTERFACE BOARD.

Voltage selections are made by adding jumper wires from TB11 to TB8, TB9, or TB10, and placing the
jumpers on JW1, JW2, JW3, JW4, or JW5 in the live contact position.
Review figure 3B-3 for typical examples.

Figure 3B-3: Typical jumper arrangement on the room interface board

SOME INSTALLATIONS REQUIRE THAT THE OUTPUTS OF RELAYS K1, K2, K3, K4, K6 OR K8 DRIVE
THE INPUTS OF OPTO COUPLERS. IN INSTALLATIONS WHERE THESE RELAYS SOURCE 110 OR
220 VAC, THE LEAKAGE CURRENT THROUGH THE R-C SNUBBER ACROSS THE RELAY CONTACTS
MAY BE SUFFICIENT TO ENERGIZE THE OPTO COUPLERS WHEN THE RELAYS ARE OPEN.
IF THIS IS EXPERIENCED, THE R-C SNUBBER SHOULD BE DISCONNECTED FROM THE
CIRCUIT. CUTTING AND REMOVING THE JUMPER WIRES PER THE TABLE ON THE NEXT PAGE
WILL DISABLE THE R-C SNUBBER CIRCUIT. THE JUMPER WIRES SHOULD BE CUT AS NEAR AS
POSSIBLE TO THE PADS ON THE BOARD, THEN AS MUCH AS IS POSSIBLE OF THE WIRE JUMPER
SHOULD BE REMOVED. THIS IS NECESSARY TO WITHSTAND THE OPEN CIRCUIT VOLTAGE
ACROSS THE RELAY CONTACTS.

3B.3.5 Wiring The Room Interface Terminal Plugs

Figure 3B-4: Terminal plug

• Remove the required mating connectors from TB1 to TB6 on the room interface board.
• Back out the wire retaining screws as required.
• Dress the interface cable with a minimum of 5 inch (130 mm) flying leads.
• Strip each wire .25 inches (6 mm).
• Insert the wire into the plug and tighten the terminal screw. Several wires may be inserted into a single
terminal connection.
• Be sure the plug numbering matches the input/output signals.
• Insert the plug into the room interface plug as shown in Figure 3B-4.
• Leave sufficient cable to allow interface access.
• To eliminate confusion, label each plug.
• Cover plates are located on the rear access panels to provide strain relief for the interface cables.
Holes are provided on the shelf at the back of the cabinet, below the room interface board, for
attaching additional strain relief hardware such as “C” or “P” clamps as desired by the installer.

3B.4.0 GENERATOR INTERFACE BOARD PROGRAMMING FOR 110/220 VAC

The 110/220 VAC supplies available at TB9 and TB10 of the room interface board may be programmed
such that:
• 110/220 VAC is present at TB9 and TB10 at all times that the generator main disconnect is switched
ON.
• 110/220 VAC is present at TB9 and TB10 only when the generator itself is switched ON.

The desired selection is made using JW1 on the generator interface board. Setting the jumper to JW1 pins
1-2 selects the condition where 110/220 VAC is present at TB9 and TB10 only when the generator is
switched ON.
Setting the jumper to JW1 pins 2-3 selects 110/220 VAC to be present at TB9 and TB10 at all
times that the generator main disconnect is switched ON.

speed operation.
• MAX SF KW LS Sets the maximum small focus low speed kW limit.
• MAX LF KW LS Sets the maximum large focus low speed kW limit.
• MAX KV: Sets the maximum kV allowed for that tube.
• MAX SF KW HS Sets the maximum small focus high speed kW limit.
• MAX LF KW HS: Sets the maximum large focus high speed kW limit.
• MAX SF MA Sets the maximum mA in small focus. This should be set as
low as possible to preserve the focal spot track wear and focal
spot blooming.
• ANODE HU WARNING Sets the limit at which the anode heat warning message is
displayed.
• ANODE HU LIMIT Sets the limit at which exposures will be inhibited. If the
present anode heating is under the threshold, the exposure will
be inhibited if the next exposure is calculated to exceed the
anode HU limit.

3C.5.1 Tube Selection (cont)

• SF STANDBY Sets the small focus standby filament current. The required
value should be obtained from the X-ray tube data sheets.
• LF STANDBY As above but for large focus.
• SF MAX Sets the small focus maximum filament current.
• LF MAX As above but for large focus.
• FIL BOOST Sets the filament rapid boost duration in order to quickly raise
the filament temperature. In installations where a spot film or
equivalent device is used, default boost and preheat values
may be increased if needed to allow for one second R/F
change over time.
• FIL PREHEAT The time that the filament is held at the required emission level
before an exposure is permitted

Typically, the boost time should be between 200 and 250 msec, and the preheat time should be in the
range of 700 - 800 ms.
If in doubt, monitor the filament feedback and be sure the filament is not being over or under driven
during an exposure.

Standby current must be below the emission point. If the standby current is too high, the lower
fluoro mA values may not calibrate properly resulting in a high mA fault error during fluoro
operation.

If the maximum filament current is increased, be careful not to exceed the tube manufacturer’s
specifications.

Use these steps to modify the tube defaults.


Step Action
1. Use the >>, <<, and RETURN buttons to navigate through the TUBE
DEFAULTS screens.
2. Select the appropriate default value to change. Refer to the definitions on the

<< ⇑ RETURN

The STATE button on the upper right hand side of the menu selects the current state. The word STATE
will be preceded by the description of the state: for example, STANDBY.
The arrow in the lower middle area points to one of the five states described below. Moving to the
next state is accomplished by pressing the STATE button. The states are as follows:

• STANDBY Sets the state of the I/O when the generator is in standby or idle
mode. Standby mode also defines the state when the generator
is in fluoroscopic hangover.
• PREP Sets the state of the I/O when the generator first enters PREP
mode.
• GEN RDY Sets the state of the I/O when the generator has completed
PREP mode and is ready to expose.
• RAD EXP Sets the state of the I/O when the generator starts a
radiographic exposure.
• FLUORO EXP Sets the state of the I/O when the generator starts a
fluoroscopic exposure.

Pressing one of the buttons next to the selected function on the left of the display selects that function.
The logic level of the selected state is then changed by pressing the selection button again (low = off /
inactive, high = on / active).
For inputs, a logic “low” means that the input is ignored during that state. A Logic “high” requires
that the input be satisfied before the generator will advance to the next state. If multiple inputs are
programmed “high”, for example if REMOTE PREP and CONSOLE PREP are both high in the prep state,
then both inputs will need to be active before the generator will enter the prep state.
Setting an output to logic “low” causes the relay associated with that output to be de-energized
during the selected state. Logic “high” will cause the associated relay to be energized during the selected
state.
Certain functions have states indicated by a dotted line. The dotted line indicates invalid states,
which cannot be altered. Only states shown by a solid line can be changed. Refer to figure 3C-2 for
examples of a TYPICAL input configuration.

3D.1.0 INTRODUCTION

This section covers interfacing and calibration of the various AEC board assemblies that are used in Millenia
and Indico 100 X-ray generators for ion chambers, solid state chambers, or PMT pickups; and in CMP 200
X-ray generators for ion and solid state chambers.
THE GENERATOR IS FACTORY CONFIGURED FOR SPECIFIC AEC DEVICE(S). REFER TO
THE COMPATIBILITY STATEMENT / PRODUCT DESCRIPTION IN CHAPTER 1D (MILLENIA AND
INDICO 100), OR CHAPTER 1 (CMP 200) FOR THE FACTORY CONFIGURED AEC COMPATIBILITY OF
THIS GENERATOR.

The introduction in this section contains background information relevant to AEC operation. It is strongly
suggested that this be read and understood prior to beginning AEC calibration.

AEC calibration requires that a calibration curve be established which relates optical density to various kV
breakpoints.
The 75 kV knee breakpoint is calibrated at the slowest film screen combination. The remaining kV
breakpoints are calibrated next, then the breakpoint calibration is repeated at the next highest film speed,
with the highest film speed being calibrated last.
After breakpoint calibration, ± density setup is done at the slowest film speed, and then RLF
compensation and multiple spot compensation are done if desired.

3D.1.1 AEC Limitations: Minimum Response Time

The X-ray generator (including the AEC pickup chamber) has a minimum response time from start of the
exposure command to a kV value sufficient to start X-rays. There is a further delay to the start of current flow
from the AEC device. Likewise, there is a minimum response time from when the AEC stop command is
issued to when the kV has actually decreased to the point that X-rays are no longer produced. Figure 3D-1
depicts this graphically.

Figure 3D-1: Relative timing of AEC ramp vs exposure command and kVp

• 1 to 2 is the time from the exposure start command to kVp start.


Time = 1 to 3 ms.

• 2 to 3 is the reaction time of the solid state / ion chamber to start a current flow.
Time = 1 to 3 ms.

• 3 to 4 is the required exposure time.

• 4 is the AEC stop command from the generator AEC circuits.

• 4 to 5 is the generator shut down time including cable discharge time etc.
Time = 1.5 to 3.0 ms.

• 1 to 6 is the total time the exposure switch is activated.

• FOR AEC BOARDS WITH SHORT AEC TIME COMPENSATION (FIGURE 3D-9 AND 3D-11)
AEC TECHNIQUES SHOULD HAVE MINIMUM EXPOSURE TIMES GREATER THAN 5 MS. FOR
ALL OTHER AEC BOARDS MINIMUM EXPOSURE TIMES SHOULD BE GREATER THAN 15
MS.

Millenia / Indico 100 / CMP 200 Service Manual Ch # 740904-06 Rev. J Page 3D-3
3D AEC Calibration CPI Canada Inc.

3D.1.2 AEC Limitations: Maximum Exposure Times

AEC exposures should normally be kept well under one second. When X-ray techniques are used that result
in longer exposures, the film density will not be correct due to failure of reciprocity of the film.
RLF (reciprocity law failure) compensation is provided to compensate for longer AEC exposure
times. An offset may be added to each AEC calibration set (each film screen combination) to increase the
AEC ON time as exposure time increases. RLF compensation is applied to the following range of times:

• 50 ms to 500 ms.
• 500 ms to 1000 ms.
• 1000 ms and above.

Care must be exercised when using table buckys with low kV values because most tabletops and grids
absorb considerable radiation in the range of 60 - 65 kVp. This will adversely affect AEC operation.

Figure 3D-2 shows the effect of kVp, optical density, and radiation. Note particularly the nonlinear change in
density at 85-90 kVp.

Figure 3D-2: kVp vs. optical density vs. dose

CPI Canada Inc. AEC Calibration 3D
3D.1.3 Film/Screen Response vs. kVp

Film screen response to kVp is not linear; therefore compensation must be provided in order to maintain
constant film density as kVp is changed for different anatomical studies. By selecting and calibrating various
kV breakpoints, the overall system response will be compensated such as to yield a constant film density.
Up to eight breakpoints per film screen combination are available. The eight breakpoints are spread
over three kV ranges as shown below:

• Low kV: 50, 55, 65 kV


• Knee kV: 75 kV
• High kV: 85, 95, 110, 130 kV.

Refer to figure 3D-3.

3D.1.4 AEC Calibration Range

Since the Millenia and Indico 100 family of generators allow for up to three separate film screen
combinations to be calibrated, the following points must be considered:

• The AEC board allows for a 0 to a maximum of 10 volt ramp at the comparator input. All AEC signals
must fit within this range (for all film / screens, densities, and techniques).

• Most X-ray applications require the use of two or more different film screen combinations, all of which
will require different exposure doses.

• Using the slowest film screen combination, the required film input dose will be determined.

• Once this value is determined (during AEC calibration), the density calibration is performed to allow
100% (double the dose) and 50% (half the dose) values. These are typical values, and will determine
the maximum required range of the AEC reference voltage (the output from the D/A converter).

• Figure 3D-4 illustrates the different windows required for various film screen combinations.

3D.1.5 Multiple Spot Compensation

Separate density compensation is provided when a SFD (Spot Film Device) is used for multiple film splits.
This allows compensation when the SFD diaphragm is in the X-ray field.
An external output from the SFD must be provided when multiple spots are requested to enable this
function.

3D.2.2 AEC Precalibration Checks

It is recommended that a copy of the form below be filled in with the required information before attempting
AEC calibration.

1. Verify that the AEC chambers are mounted correctly CHECK:


in the Bucky or spot film device. Note that some
chamber types must be physically isolated from
equipment ground, refer to figure 3D-6 as an
example.
2. Verify that each AEC chamber / pickup is properly CHECK:
connected to its intended input channel on the AEC
board.
Refer to AEC board pictorials, figure 3D-8 to 3D-
11 for input channel designations
3.
Make and type of AEC chamber/pickup: AEC Ch 1_____________________________

AEC Ch 2_____________________________

AEC Ch 3_____________________________

AEC Ch 4_____________________________
4. Verify signal grounding for the AEC chamber. The CHECK:
only electrical ground should be at the AEC board in
the generator. This applies to the ground braid
(shield) for the AEC signal cable and to the ground
return conductor(s) in the AEC signal cable.
5. Verify that the AEC board is fully inserted into the CHECK:
mating edge connector (if applicable), that all
connections to the AEC board are secure, and that
the AEC board is securely fastened.
6. Before calibrating, verify that the AEC system is CHECK:
functioning. This includes the AEC chambers /
devices and the AEC circuits in the generator. Each
of the fields on the AEC device must be able to
terminate the exposure.
7. Radiographic techniques to be performed with the
equipment (high kV chest, G.I. studies etc)?
8. Normal exposure factors used by the customer
(typical mAs / kV range)?

If the AEC input signal has excessive electrical noise superimposed on the signal, it is suggested that
jumpers JW1 to JW4 as appropriate be temporarily installed. If this improves the signal to noise ratio, the
jumper(s) should be left in. Excessive signal to noise ratio generally shows up as inconsistent AEC exposure
times at low mAs values.
It is the responsibility of the installer to determine the need for these jumper(s).

generates the PMT high voltage, up to approximately -1000 VDC available at J7, and also the nominal +500,
+300 and +50 VDC supplies noted in table 3D-8. The +500, +300 and +50 VDC supplies are available to
bias ion chambers if needed and are adjustable as defined below.
These potentiometers are switched into the circuit electronically by logic circuits connected to the
AEC channel select commands. Only one potentiometer will be active at any given time, the condition under
which each potentiometer is active is described below, along with the function of that potentiometer.

• R10 adjusts the high voltage supply output for the PMT when ABS operation is selected. This is

3D.3.0 PRECALIBRATION NOTES:

This section contains information that must be understood and confirmed prior to and / or during AEC
calibration.

CAUTION: THE PROCEDURES IN THESE SECTIONS REQUIRE X-RAY EXPOSURES. TAKE ALL
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT PERSONNEL FROM X-RADIATION.

SHOULD AN IMPROPER TECHNIQUE BE SELECTED, OR AN AEC FAULT OCCUR CAUSING NO


AEC FEEDBACK SIGNAL TO THE GENERATOR, THE EXPOSURE WILL TERMINATE IF THE RAMP
VOLTAGE FAILS TO REACH 4% OF THE EXPECTED RAMP VOLTAGE WHEN THE EXPOSURE TIME
REACHES 20% OF THE SELECTED BACK UP TIME.

• When using PMTs or photo diodes for AEC from the output of an image intensifier, there is normally
no need to iterate all the kV break points. It is usually sufficient to use the 75 kV breakpoint
calibration value for that film screen at all kV breakpoints. If doing this, the calibration values should
be confirmed at all kV breakpoints using the acquired digital images.
• During AEC calibration, all AEC exposures should be done using mA values such that the
exposures are in the 30 to 100 ms range UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE.
• During AEC calibration, always ensure that the central ray is centered relative to the image receptor.
• Prior to placing the absorbers, ensure that the collimator is opened sufficiently to irradiate ALL fields
on the AEC pickup device.
• The recommended absorber in table 3D-12 is water. This should be in a plastic container of uniform
thickness. Lexan of a similar thickness is also a suitable absorber.
• Ensure that the absorber is positioned to fully cover the X-ray field. The absorber must extend a
minimum of 3/8 in. (10 mm) beyond the X-ray field.
• All components and assemblies used during AEC calibration must be those that will be used during
procedures, and must be positioned as they will be in actual use of the X-ray room.
• The generator must be known to be calibrated before proceeding.
• During AEC calibration, if exposure times do not change if the mA is varied, it may be that the input
signal level to the AEC board may be too high. If this is experienced, check the ramp voltage at the
output of the first gain stage (the first operational amplifier output) on the AEC board for the subject
AEC channel. This voltage must never exceed 10 V. If this voltage does exceed 10 V, reduce the
input signal level as required.

3D.4.0 AEC USING A PMT

This section applies if a PMT is to be used for AEC control on AEC channel 4. AEC channels 1, 2, and 3 (as
applicable) should be calibrated first (sections 3D.6.0 to 3D.12.0), before calibrating AEC channel 4.

WARNING: SWITCH OFF THE GENERATOR BEFORE CONNECTING A PMT, AND USE APPROPRIATE
HIGH VOLTAGE PRECAUTIONS WHEN MEASURING THE PMT HIGH VOLTAGE.

Figure 3D-12: Connections for PMT AEC

Step Action
1. Connect the PMT output to J7 on the generator interface board (the ABS input) as
shown in figure 3D-12. If the “PMT for AEC on channel 4” configuration was factory
ordered, the generator will be pre-wired as shown above. The ABS input is at J7-12, and
the signal will be divided for the AEC board via the resistor from J7-12 to J7-10.
Appropriate high voltage shielded cable should be used for the PMT signal connections.
2. Set the PMT voltage to approximately -650 VDC for AEC operation using R19 on the
AEC interface board. AEC channel 4 must be selected in order for R19 to be active.
USE ONLY TP5 ON THE AEC INTERFACE BOARD (FIGURE 3D-10, 3D-11) FOR
THE HV METER GROUND WHEN MEASURING PMT HIGH VOLTAGE. CONNECT
THE GROUND LEAD FIRST BEFORE MEASURING THE HIGH VOLTAGE. DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO MEASURE THIS WITHOUT A SUITABLE METER.
3. Configure AEC channel 4 as per 3D.6.0 steps 6 to 14, but use the following settings in
the AEC SETUP menu: Select ION chamber, and enable FILM SCREEN 1 only, and
CENTER FIELD only. If AEC SETUP menu screen 2 is available, set C FIELD COMP to
0 (this is model dependent, refer to AEC SETUP in chapter 3C).
4. Enter the calibration value 45 into EACH of the kV breakpoints. The procedure for
setting the 75 kV knee breakpoint is detailed in 3D.6.0, step 16. The remaining
breakpoints are set in a similar manner (refer to the balance of 3D.6.0 for details on
accessing those breakpoint settings).
5. Adjust the channel 4 gain adjustment potentiometer on the AEC board to achieve the
desired I.I. input dose at the 75 kV knee breakpoint, using absorber thickness per table
3D-12.
6. The PMT voltage that was set in step 2 may need to be adjusted up or down if the gain
adjustment potentiometer does not provide the desired adjustment range in step 5.
7. Repeat the exposures at other kV breakpoints that cover the desired kV operating
range, checking the I.I. input dose at each kV breakpoint. Use absorber thickness per
table 3D-12.
8. Readjust the breakpoint calibration values in step 7, if necessary, to achieve the desired
I.I. input dose at those kV values. DO NOT READJUST THE AEC GAIN POT OR PMT
VOLTAGE.

3D.5.0 AEC FIELD BALANCE

If your generator does NOT have AEC SETUP menu 2 (see the section AEC SETUP in chapter 3C),
follow the AEC chamber manufacturers recommendations for AEC field balancing.
If your generator has AEC SETUP menu 2, follow the AEC chamber manufacturers
recommendations for AEC field balancing if available. If the AEC chamber has no provision for AEC
field balancing, follow the steps below.
PERFORM THE FOLLOWING STEPS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE DOING AEC CALIBRATION AT
THE 75 kV KNEE BREAKPOINT IN THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS:
1. Enter AEC SETUP menu 2, and ensure that each of the field compensation values is set
to 0.
2. When set up to do dose measurements at the 75 kV knee breakpoint, evaluate the AEC
field balance by measuring the dose at the film plane during an AEC exposure as each
of the three AEC fields is individually selected.
3. If the AEC chamber field balance is not acceptable, go to AEC SETUP menu 2 and
adjust the right or left compensation values up or down as required. Do not adjust the
middle field (C) compensation value.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3. The right and left AEC field compensations are adjusted to match
the middle field. This process may need to be repeated several times until the three
AEC fields are suitably balanced.

VERIFY THE CORRECT SETTINGS BY USING AN OHMMETER ON LOW OHMS RANGE AND
ENSURING A NEAR ZERO OHMS READING FROM THE WIPER OF EACH SHORT AEC TIME
COMPENSATION POT TO GROUND. REFER TO TABLE 3D-14 FOR THE SHORT AEC TIME
COMPENSATION POTENTIOMETER DESIGNATIONS.
FAILURE TO PRESET THESE POTS WILL RESULT IN DIFFICULTY IN PERFORMING
AEC CALIBRATION.
1. Set up the X-ray tube stand as shown in figure 3D-13.
2. Align the tube stand and table Bucky such that the central ray is centered relative to the
image receptor.
3. Open up the collimator to expose all three fields of the AEC pickup. Ensure that the
central ray remains centered relative to the image receptor.
4. Place the R probe at the film plane, i.e. behind the grid. If this cannot be done, then
place the probe on the table top. Ensure that the R-probe is located as close as possible
to the central ray, but not blocking any pickup areas on the AEC device. The R meter
must be set to measure in the micro-R range.
5. Place the absorber (with thickness selected for 75 kV per table 3D-12) in the X-ray field,
ensuring that the radiation is COMPLETELY blocked by the absorber.
6. Place the generator into the programming mode. Refer to section 3C.1.1.
7. From the GENERATOR SETUP menu select GEN CONFIGURATION.
8. From the GEN CONFIGURATION menu select AEC SETUP.
9. Set up the AEC parameters in the AEC SETUP menu FOR EACH ACTIVE AEC
CHANNEL. Refer to AEC SETUP in chapter 3C.
10. Set up the image receptors in the RECEPTOR SETUP menu such that each receptor
has the desired AEC channel assigned to it. Refer to RECEPTOR SETUP in chapter
3C.
11. In the RECEPTOR SETUP menu, set MEMORY to NO for each image receptor. This
will ensure that the next receptor being calibrated will not remember the techniques from
the previous receptor.
The MEMORY function may be reset as desired after AEC calibration is completed.
12. In the RECEPTOR SETUP menu, ensure that the AEC BACKUP MAS and AEC
BACKUP MS are set sufficiently high that the generator backup timer will not terminate
the exposure.
13. From the GEN CONFIGURATION menu select AEC CALIBRATION.
14. From the AEC CALIBRATION menu select FILM SCREEN 1 (the slowest film screen
combination).

CAUTION: DURING THE FOLLOWING CALIBRATION PROCEDURE, BE SURE THAT THE SELECTED
TECHNIQUES WILL NOT OVERLOAD THE X-RAY TUBE. USE CAUTION WHEN REPEATING
EXPOSURES AS THIS MAY QUICKLY OVERLOAD THE X-RAY TUBE. MOST X-RAY TUBE
MANUFACTURERS RECOMMEND NO MORE THAN TWO HIGH SPEED STARTS PER
MINUTE.

NOTE: BE SURE TO USE THE SAME CASSETTE FOR EACH EXPOSURE AT THAT FILM SPEED.

Step Action
75 KV KNEE BREAKPOINT CALIBRATION:
15. Select the table Bucky image receptor.
16. Select the 75 kV knee breakpoint and enter the value 45 using the + or - buttons
adjacent to the LCD display.
17. Select the appropriate mA for the first film speed being calibrated per table 3D-12,
remembering that the slowest film screen used in that installation must be calibrated first
(example 320 mA for 100 speed film). Select large focus, center field.
18. Make an exposure and note the dose and mAs.
19. Referring to table 3D-11, select the estimated dose required for the film speed being
calibrated i.e. 1025 ± 25 µR (see note on next page regarding conversion of µR to µGy if
desired) at the 75 kV knee breakpoint for 100 speed film.
Note that the dose values in the table are based on the R-probe being located at
the film plane. If the probe was placed in front of the grid the dose values shown
in the tables must be increased accordingly. The dose in front of the grid will
typically be approximately double the dose at the film plane.
20. Adjust the required gain potentiometer on the AEC board (see note below) while taking
exposures until the dose noted in the previous step is obtained.
• CHANNEL 1 ON THE AEC BOARD IS TYPICALLY USED FOR THE TABLE
BUCKY AEC CHAMBER. YOUR INSTALLATION MAY USE A DIFFERENT

These are APPROXIMATE dose inputs to the film cassette plane at an SID of 40 in. (100 cm), using a
grid with a 12:1 ratio.

NOTE: To convert from µR to µGy divide the value in µR by 114.5. This will give the value in µGy (for
example 114.5 µR = 1 µGy).

Step Action
21. Load a test cassette with fresh film and install it in the image receptor. Using the same
technique as in the previous step, expose the film and develop it.
22. Measure the optical density. The desired value should have been previously recorded in
a copy of table 3D-1.
23. If the measured O.D. is not within 5% of the desired value, adjust the gain pot (as per
step 20) to increase or decrease the density, then repeat the previous two steps.
24. Once the desired film density is achieved, record the mAs, dose, calibration number and
O.D. in a copy of table 3D-13.
FOR EACH BREAKPOINT IN THE REMAINDER OF THIS SECTION, START WITH THE
APPROXIMATE DOSE AS PER TABLE 3D-12. AFTER THAT DOSE IS ACHIEVED, A FILM MUST
BE EXPOSED AND THE O.D. VERIFIED. FURTHER DOSE ITERATIONS MAY BE REQUIRED TO
ACHIEVE THE DESIRED OPTICAL DENSITY.

DO NOT READJUST THE AEC BOARD GAIN POT AFTER THE 75KV KNEE
BREAKPOINT IS CALIBRATED. DOSE / DENSITY ADJUSTMENTS WILL ONLY BE DONE
BY ADJUSTING THE CALIBRATION VALUES FOR THE OTHER KV BREAKPOINTS.

55 KV BREAKPOINT CALIBRATION:
25. Change the absorber thickness per table 3D-12. As before, ensure that the absorber
fully blocks the X-ray field.
26. Select the 55 kV breakpoint.
27. Make an exposure and note the dose. Use mA values as per table 3D-12.
28. Adjust the 55 kV calibration numbers using the + or - buttons such that the actual dose
is equal to the target dose at 55 kV for the selected film speed per table 3D-12.
DO NOT READJUST THE AEC BOARD GAIN POT.

Step Action
THIS SECTION ONLY APPLIES FOR AEC BOARDS WITH SHORT AEC EXPOSURE
TIME COMPENSATION (FIGURE 3D-9 OR 3D-11) IF AEC EXPOSURES LESS
THAN APPROXIMATELY 15 MS ARE REQUIRED.
1. Select the image receptor to be short AEC time compensated, i.e. table Bucky.
2. Select the highest film speed used on the selected receptor, and then select the 75 kV
breakpoint.
3. Set the mA per table 3D-12 for the film speed being used. Reinstall the absorber as per
table 3D-12 for the 75 kV breakpoint.
4. Make an exposure and confirm the dose (or mAs) readings as previously recorded in
table 3D-13.
5. Reduce the absorber thickness such as to decrease the AEC exposure time to
approximately 10 ms.
6. Adjust the short AEC time compensation pot for the AEC channel being calibrated such
that the dose (or mAs) is approximately the same as previously recorded (step 4). The
short AEC time compensation potentiometer designations are given in table 3D-14.

7. Reduce the absorber thickness again such as to decrease the AEC exposure time to
approximately 6 ms (but not less).
8. Adjust the short AEC time compensation pot for the AEC channel being calibrated such
that the dose (or mAs) is approximately the same as it was in step 6.
9. The short AEC time compensation adjustments affect the AEC calibration at longer
exposure times. Therefore, it may now be necessary to readjust the gain pot for the AEC
channel being calibrated to restore the dose (or mAs) values to the values previously
recorded in table 3D-13. Ensure that the absorber thickness and mA values are as per
table 3D-12 when readjusting the AEC gain pot.
10. Films should be exposed and developed, and the O.D. checked at the 75 kV breakpoint
at AEC exposure times of approximately 6 ms and approximately 100 ms. If the film
density is not acceptable at both short and long AEC exposure times, it will be
necessary to iterate the adjustments of both the short AEC time compensation pot and
the AEC gain pot by repeating steps 3 to 8.
11. Repeat steps 1 to 10 for each image receptor (AEC channel) to be short AEC time
compensated.

Please note the following points regarding density calibration:

• Up to eight density plus and eight density minus steps are available. If ± 8 density steps are not
required, the unwanted density steps may be programmed out per the procedure below. For example, if
only ± 5 density steps are desired, then density steps ± 6, 7, 8 may be deprogrammed.

• Once the desired number of ± density steps are known, the relative minimum and maximum dose
values must be determined. Typically the minimum density step will result in half (50%) of the nominal
dose and the maximum density step will typically give double the nominal dose (100% increase). The
nominal dose is the value that was recorded at 0 density in table 3D-13.

• The relative dose change per density step must be determined next. To do this, note the relative
minimum and maximum dose as determined above (i.e. 50% at min density and 100% increase at max
density), then calculate the number of - density steps and the number of + density steps that will be
required.
The relative dose change between density steps will then be the minimum density (i.e. 50) divided
by the number of density minus steps or the maximum density (i.e. 100) divided by the number of
density plus steps. This will yield the required dose increment for each density minus step and for each
density plus step respectively.
For ± 8 density steps, this gives a dose decrease of 6.25% per density minus step (8 steps x 6.25%
per step = 50% dose at -8 density) or a dose increase of 12.5% per density plus step (8 steps x 12.5%
per step = 100% dose increase at +8 density).

Refer to table 3D-15 for two typical examples of density steps vs. calibration numbers. For 8 minus
density steps the dose decrease is 6.25% per step, and for 8 + density steps the dose increase is 12.5%
per step as per the example calculation above.
For 5 minus density steps the dose decrease is 10% per step, and for 5 + density steps the dose
increase is 20% per step.

not intended to use this step, select the highest density minus step to be used i.e. - 5,
then set the unused steps to - to disable those steps. To disable density steps, press the
- button to scroll down until the - symbol is displayed.
7. Set the calibration number for the highest density minus step to the desired relative
density value (example 50, this will give approximately 1/2 the 0 density dose).
8. Make an exposure and confirm that the measured dose is approximately the desired
value.
9. If the measured dose is not as expected, adjust the calibration number for that density
step and repeat step 8.
10. Select the next density step (i.e. - 7) and enter the appropriate calibration number for
that step. Refer to table 3D-15 and the notes preceding table 3D-15. Repeat steps 8 and
9.
11. Repeat the previous step for each remaining density minus step. Use the >> and <<

3D.9.0 RLF COMPENSATION

The following points should be noted regarding RLF compensation. RLF compensation is normally only
needed if special techniques are used which result in AEC exposures greater than 100 ms.

• If perfect, film would provide linear density changes with linearly increasing exposure times. In reality, at
longer exposures, film effectively becomes slower. This effect is known as reciprocity law failure. To
compensate, exposure times must be increased at longer exposures.
This compensation is achieved by increasing the AEC reference voltage at longer exposure times.
RLF compensation is applied to three ranges (50-500 ms, 500-1000 ms, and 1000- 1500 ms) as shown
below.
The examples below are not meant to represent actual RLF compensation percentages in your
installation. Actual values will need to be determined per the procedure following.

• Between 0 and 50 ms no RLF compensation is applied. Per figure 3D-14, the AEC reference voltage is
constant at 1 unit between 0 and 50 ms.

• At 50 ms, RLF compensation = 10% is applied. This means that the reference voltage will increase by
10% between 50 ms and 500 ms in a linear fashion. At 500 ms the reference voltage is then 1.0 X 1.10
= 1.10 units.

• At 500 ms, RLF compensation = 20% is applied. This means that the reference voltage will increase by
20% between 500 ms and 1000 ms in a linear fashion. At 1000 ms the reference voltage is then 1.10 X
1.20 = 1.32 units.

• At 1000 ms, RLF compensation = 30% is applied. This means that the reference voltage will increase by
30% between 1000 ms and 1500 ms in a linear fashion. At 1500 ms the reference voltage is then 1.32 X
1.30 = 1.72 units

• The rate of increase of the reference voltage beyond 1500 ms will be constant, up to limit of the B.U.T.
(backup timer).

• The compensation curve resulting from the RLF values described above is depicted in the graph below.

• Multiple spot compensation may be required when doing multiple exposures on a single film. In this
mode of serial recording, the X-ray field is usually coned down to a small area. Due to the lack of scatter
and possible AEC field cutoff, an AEC density offset may be added if required. This offset is known as
multiple spot compensation.

• In order to activate the multiple spot compensation feature, the R & F table must supply a closed dry
contact when the SFD is operated in multi-spot mode. The multi-spot input to the generator is at TB5
pins 11 and 12 on the room interface board.

3D.11.0 AEC CALIBRATION (WALL BUCKY)

Figure 3D-15: Equipment setup for wall Bucky AEC calibration

Please note the following points regarding wall Bucky calibration:

• If the wall Bucky is dedicated to chest radiography, a focused grid with a 10:1 or 12:1 ratio should be
used along with an SID of 72 in. (180 cm).

• If the wall Bucky will be used for conventional as well as chest radiography, then two grids should ideally
be used. See the note at the bottom of this page.
A reasonable compromise if a single grid must be used is a 10:1 ratio, 60 in. (150 cm) grid.

NOTE: SINCE MOST WALL BUCKYS ARE USED AT 40 AND 72 IN. (100 AND 180 CM) SID, THE GRID
MUST BE CHOSEN WITH CARE WITH RESPECT TO CUT-OFF. A TYPICAL GRID WILL HAVE
AN 8:1 RATIO, WITH 85 LINE PAIR / INCH OR 10:1 RATIO WITH 150 LINE PAIR / INCH
(STATIONARY). TYPICALLY, 400 SPEED FILM SCREEN WILL BE USED WITH 90 SECOND
PROCESSING.

Grid Absorption

The following information may aid in selecting a grid and / or estimating doses in front of the Bucky if
required: The percentages listed are approximate.

∗ A 10:1 ratio 60 in. (150 cm) focused grid will exhibit the following absorption when measured 5 in. (13
cm) from center: At 72 in. (180 cm) absorption = 18%
At 40 in. (100 cm) absorption = 40%

∗ A 12:1 ratio 60 in. (150 cm) focused grid will exhibit the following absorption when measured 5 in. (13
cm) from center: At 72 in. (180 cm) absorption = 20%
At 40 in. (100 cm) absorption = 50%

∗ A 10:1 ratio 72 in. (180 cm) focused grid will exhibit the following absorption when measured 5 in. (13
cm) from center: At 40 in. (100 cm) absorption = 65%

∗ A 12:1 ratio 72 in. (180 cm) focused grid will exhibit the following absorption when measured 5 in. (13
cm) from center: At 40 in. (100 cm) absorption = 75%

∗ A 10:1 ratio 40 in. (100 cm) focused grid will exhibit the following absorption when measured 5 in. (13

NOTE: BREAKPOINT CALIBRATIONS MAY HAVE BEEN DONE FOR ALL THREE FILM SCREEN
COMBINATIONS DURING TABLE BUCKY AEC CALIBRATION. IF SO, THE REMAINING
IMAGE RECEPTORS MUST USE THE CALIBRATION CURVES PREVIOUSLY ESTABLISHED
FOR THOSE FILM SCREENS.
IF AN UNUSED FILM SCREEN COMBINATION IS AVAILABLE FOR WALL BUCKY
USE, IT IS SUGGESTED THAT TWO RECEPTOR SELECTOR BUTTONS ON THE CONSOLE
BE ASSIGNED TO SELECT THE WALL BUCKY. THE FIRST WALL BUCKY SELECTOR
SHOULD BE USED FOR 40 IN. (100 CM) SID’S WITH THE APPROPRIATE PREVIOUSLY
CALIBRATED FILM SCREEN. THE SECOND WALL BUCKY SELECTOR SHOULD THEN BE
USED WITH THE PREVIOUSLY UNCALIBRATED FILM SCREEN AT 72 IN. (180 CM) SID’S.
THIS METHOD WILL ALLOW THE GRID TO BE OPTIMIZED FOR EACH SID, AS A
SEPARATE DEDICATED FILM SCREEN WITH ITS OWN CALIBRATION CURVE CAN BE
ASSIGNED TO THE 72 IN. (180CM) SID.

1. Set up the X-ray tube stand as shown in figure 3D-15.
2. Align the tube stand and wall Bucky such that the central ray is centered relative to the
image receptor.
3. Open up the collimator to expose all three fields of the AEC pickup. Ensure that the
central ray remains centered relative to the image receptor.
4. Place the R probe at the film plane, i.e. behind the grid. If this cannot be done, then
attach the probe to the front of the Bucky. Ensure that the R-probe is located directly
under the central ray. The R meter must be set to measure in the micro-R range.
5. Place the absorber (with thickness selected for 75 kV per table 3D-12) in the X-ray field,
ensuring that the radiation is COMPLETELY blocked by the absorber.
6. Select the wall Bucky image receptor.
7. Select the slowest film screen used for the wall Bucky, then select the appropriate mA

large focus, center field.
8. Make an exposure and note the dose and mAs.
9. Referring to table 3D-13, select the previously established dose required at the 75 kV
knee breakpoint for the film speed being calibrated.
Note that the dose values in the table are based on a specific R-probe placement
during table Bucky calibration (either at the film plane, or alternately in front of the
Bucky). If the probe placement for wall Bucky calibration is not the same as it was

3E.1.0 INTRODUCTION

3E.1.1 Overview of ABS Operation

Refer to figure 3E-1, this is a block diagram of the ABS system.


X-rays pass through the patient and excite the input cesium phosphor of the image intensifier
(I.I.). This will cause the output of the I.I. to fluoresce and project the image to the TV camera via the
collimating lens. A sample of the light output is then sensed by a photodiode or photomultiplier tube
(PMT), or composite or proportional video will be fed back from the camera.
The feedback signal is processed by the ABS circuits on the generator interface board. The
result, regardless of the type of ABS sensor used, will be a DC voltage proportional to the brightness of
the image. This DC signal is then processed by the generator CPU board. The CPU compares the
feedback voltage with a reference value determined by dose rate, mA, kVp, and mA ranges set during
ABS calibration. The CPU will attempt to maintain constant image brightness by varying the kVp and / or
mA output of the power supply according to a predetermined algorithm.

3E.1.2 Image Intensifier Light Output

The following variables affect the transmitted light output of an I.I. tube.

• Image Intensifier gain.


• Field size - input to output.
• System components.
• Choice of X-ray techniques.

Image Intensifier Gain.

Image tube gain is affected by two different factors, the ratio of the input to output phosphor area and the
electron gain due to the electron acceleration from the cathode to anode. A third effect that slowly
reduces the I.I. tube’s gain is age. The emissivity of the cesium cathode decays with time and usage.

Gain = Area of input divided by the area of the output multiplied by the energy of a photon
(E = hc/λ [where h = Plank’s constant, c = speed of light and λ is the light wavelength])

Example: Consider the difference of I.I. tube gain when a 12 inch I.I. tube is switched between 6 inches
and 12 inches.

Gain with tube in NORMAL mode: Gain with tube in the MAG mode:
Gain =(6 X 6 X π)/(.5 X .5 x π) = 144 X E Gain =(3 X 3 X π)/(.5 X .5 x π) = 36 X E

Field Size - Input to Output.

Most modern I.I. tubes are the multi-mode type where the effective input area may be changed per the
nature of the procedure. To change the field size of an I.I. tube when a MAG mode is selected, the
electron beam over-scans the output target. This in effect reduces the ratio of input size to output size
and reduces the gain or light output of the I.I. tube.

WARNING: SWITCH OFF THE GENERATOR AND ENSURE THAT ALL CAPACITORS ARE
DISCHARGED BEFORE CONNECTING ANY ABS PICKUP DEVICES.

3E.2.3 PMT (Photo Multiplier Tube)

The generator must be fitted with the “Universal AEC Board” assembly if using a PMT. The high voltage
supply for the PMT is located on this assembly.

1. Dress the PMT cable from the imaging system such as to allow the dynode high voltage lead to plug
into the “universal AEC interface board” at J7. Refer to figure 3E-4. J7 is the high voltage output for
the PMT; all pins on this connector are connected in parallel and thus any of the 4 pins on J7 may be
used. Ensure that the high voltage lead is rated at 1000 VDC minimum.
NOTE: The total resistive load of all dynodes must be greater than 1 megohm to prevent excess PMT
power supply loading.

2. Dress the signal (coax) cable from the PMT to allow it to connect to J7 on the generator interface
board. Wire to J7 as per figure 3E-3. Alternately, the PMT output may be connected to BNC
connector J8 on the generator interface board.

3. Ensure that there is sufficient slack in the cables such that the cabinet door (Millenia generators)
does not strain these cables when opening and closing. Secure the cables in place such as to
prevent mechanical stress on the connections.

4. The signal ground must be at the generator interface board only to avoid ground loops.

5. Position the jumpers on the generator interface board as per table 3E-1 for Photo Multiplier Tube,
selecting the correct configuration depending on whether the input is at J7 or J8.

6. The PMT high voltage calibration will be done at a later step.

3E.2.4 Photo Diode

1. Dress the signal cable from the photo diode circuit to allow it to connect to J7 on the generator
interface board. Connect the photodiode to J7 as follows: Output signal to pin 12, ground to pin 7,
+12 VDC to pin 4, and -12 VDC if used to pin 5.

2. Ensure that there is sufficient slack in the cable such that the cabinet door (Millenia generators) does
not strain this cable when opening and closing. Secure the cables in place such as to prevent
mechanical stress on the connections.

3. Note that there are three types of photo diodes for this application with outputs as listed below:

• a zero to positive DC voltage for increasing light flux


• a zero to negative DC voltage for increasing light flux
• a negative DC voltage to positive DC voltage for increasing light flux. The required dose is set for
0 volts. The output will be negative for reduced light due to increased patient absorption, then
swinging positive for increased light due to reduced patient absorption.

4. Position the jumpers on the generator interface board as per table 3E-1 for Photo Diode. Please
ensure that the correct configuration is selected per your photo diode type as detailed above.

Millenia / Indico 100 Series Service Manual Ch # 740904-07 Rev. H Page 3E-7
3E ABS Calibration CPI Canada Inc.

3E.2.5 DC Proportional

1. Dress the signal cable from the camera to allow it to connect to J7 on the generator interface board.
Wire to J7 as per figure 3E-3. Alternately, the DC proportional signal output may be connected to
BNC connector J8 on the generator interface board.

2. Ensure that there is sufficient slack in the cable such that the cabinet door (Millenia generators) does
not strain this cable when opening and closing. Secure the cable in place such as to prevent
mechanical stress on the connections.

3. Position the jumpers on the generator interface board as per table 3E-1 for Proportional DC,
selecting the correct configuration depending on whether the input is at J7 or J8 and whether the
polarity is negative or positive.

3E.2.6 Composite Video

1. Dress the composite video output from the camera to allow it to connect to J8 on the generator
interface board.

2. Ensure that there is sufficient slack in the cable such that the cabinet door (Millenia generators) does
not strain this cable when opening and closing. Secure the cable in place such as to prevent
mechanical stress on the terminations.

3. Position the jumpers on the generator interface board as per table 3E-1 for Composite Video,
selecting the correct configuration depending on whether the video is 75 ohm-terminated or high
impedance (it must be determined beforehand whether the 75 ohm termination must be made at the
generator).

Composite video ABS is not recommended with pulsed fluoro applications.

3E.3.0 FLUORO SETUP AND CALIBRATION

Before the ABS system can be calibrated, the imaging system must be functional and properly set up.
Please verify the following:
• Image intensifier and its power supply are functional.
• TV camera is calibrated for this application.
• All beam attenuating devices are in place.
• Table top is in position.
• Fluoro grid is in path of X-ray beam.
• Imaging system is in the operational position.
• Imaging collimator functional.
• Collimator opening varies as S.I.D. is changed. (S.I.D. = source-image distance).
• Collimator opening varies as the image intensifier’s MAG mode switch is changed.
• The ABS pickup device (as per the previous section) must be installed and functional.
• Sufficient filters are added to the X-ray tube to provide the required HVL.
• The fluoro imaging and receptor devices have been programmed. Refer to chapter 3C.
• kVp and mA must be in calibration. Refer to chapter 4.
• Ensure that JW22 on the generator interface board is set properly for the application: Jumper JW22
pins 1-2 to provide line frequency sync pulses (for conventional imaging systems), or jumper JW22
pins 2-3 for external sync input (for digital imaging systems).

of-ten fluoro to rad kV transfer curves (Indico 100). When in fluoro operation with ABS
on, the fluoro kV value is transferred to the RADIOGRAPHY section of the console at
the end of the fluoro exposure. This presets the rad kV in preparation for a rapid
follow-on radiographic exposure for digital acquisition or spot film work. Selecting 0
disables this function.
Graphs of the fluoro kV to rad kV transfer function are shown on the next two pages.

3E.3.5 I.I. Input Dose Calibration (Cont)

Step Action
1. Reconnect the ABS pickup plug that was temporarily disconnected from J7 or J8 of
the generator interface board in an earlier step.
2. Re-energize the I.I. power supply or remove the lead that was temporarily installed in
an earlier step.
3. Set up the radiation probe as per figure 3E-7 in the position indicated I.I. Input Dose.
This must be able to read dose values as low as 2 to 3 mR / min.
4. Set up the absorber as shown in figure 3E-7. 1 1/2” (40 mm) of aluminum or 20 cm of
water is recommended. Ensure that the absorber covers the full input field of the I.I.
5. Ensure that the ABS is switched off. Select 75 kV and 1.5 mA.
6. Ensure that the I.I. is in the NORMAL mode (MAG = 0). Ensure that an anti-scatter
grid, if used, is properly installed.
7. Make a fluoro exposure and measure the I.I. input dose.
8. Adjust the fluoro kV to achieve the desired input dose.
9. Connect a DVM or ‘scope to TP8 and ground of the generator interface board.
10. FOR GENERATOR INTERFACE BOARDS WITH ABS GAIN ADJUST
POTENTIOMETER R48 (no pulsed fluoro option):
Adjust R48 on the generator interface board to achieve 1.50 VDC at the test points
connected to in the previous step.
FOR GENERATOR INTERFACE BOARDS WITH DIGITAL ABS GAIN ADJUST
POT (units with pulsed fluoro option):
• From the ABS SETUP menu, select >>.
• Select FL SIGNAL GAIN, then use the + or - buttons to adjust the digital gain pot
to achieve 1.50 VDC at the test points connected to in the previous step.
• Select PF SIGNAL GAIN, then use the + or - buttons to adjust the I.I. input dose
to achieve the desired frame rate dose.
Setting the PF signal gain to 0 causes the generator to use the FL SIGNAL GAIN
setting with PF. This may be used when a conditioned ABS signal is provided to the
generator where the continuous and PF signal levels are scaled to be equal.
• Select << to return to the ABS SETUP menu.
11. From the ABS SETUP menu, select LOOP GAIN. Press the + or - buttons to select
the initial value of 100.

Step Action
14. Connect a micro ammeter in series with the PMT signal output. Alternately, if a micro
ammeter is not available, follow this procedure:
• Temporarily connect a resistor of known value (100K is suggested) from either
end of R61 on the generator interface board to ground. A DVM can then be used
to measure the voltage developed by the PMT current across this resistor.
However, this is not the preferred method of measurement.
15. Adjust the PMT high voltage using R10 (refer to figure 3E-6) on the AEC interface
board while pressing the fluoro footswitch such that the PMT current is 20 ± 5 uA at
the desired I.I. input dose. This corresponds to a voltage of 2.00 ± 0.50 VDC for a
100K resistor if using the voltmeter method in the above step. The high voltage should
be approximately -750 VDC at this point.
The PMT high voltage is adjusted to yield the PMT current noted in this step. The
approximate value of PMT voltage is stated for reference only. The PMT voltage does
not normally need to be measured in this step, however, if it is desired to do so for
troubleshooting purposes please note the following:
USE TP5 ONLY ON THE AEC INTERFACE BOARD FOR THE HV METER
GROUND WHEN MEASURING PMT HIGH VOLTAGE. CONNECT THE GROUND
FIRST BEFORE MEASURING THE HIGH VOLTAGE. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
MEASURE THIS WITHOUT A SUITABLE METER.
16. Disconnect the meter (and resistor if applicable) that was connected in step 3.
Reconnect the PMT signal lead if required.
17. Verify stability of the ABS system with continuous fluoroscopy. Check stability with
and without the absorber. The ABS should quickly stabilize without hunting or settling
on the wrong kV value.
If the ABS is unstable, try reducing the sensitivity of the ABS pickup device first. If this
does not work, try reducing the LOOP GAIN. However, be aware that reducing the
loop gain increases the hysterisis (“deadband”), consequently the kV may stabilize on
any value within the deadband range.
18. Initiate fluoro operation and measure the input dose to the I.I. If this value is not as
desired adjust the NOMINAL DOSE using the + or - buttons as required. Record the
nominal dose calibration value as indicated in the LCD display in the next step.
19. Record the NOMINAL DOSE calibration
value as determined in the previous step. Nominal Dose (cal value): _______
20. Record the desired dose 1 and dose 2 Desired dose values:
input values.
Dose 1:______________ mR / Min

Dose 2:______________ mR / Min


To disable the ability to make incremental dose changes, set the DOSE 1 and DOSE
2 calibration values the same as the nominal dose value. If doing so, skip steps 21 to
25.
21. Initiate fluoro operation and measure the input dose to the I.I. Adjust to the desired
dose 1 value by altering the NOMINAL DOSE calibration value as required using the
+ or - buttons.
22. When the desired dose 1 value has been achieved, enter the new NOMINAL DOSE
value in the DOSE 1 location using the + or - buttons.

or - buttons.
24. When the desired dose 2 value has been achieved, enter the new NOMINAL DOSE
value in the DOSE 2 location using the + or - buttons.
25. Reset the original NOMINAL DOSE value by entering the value recorded in step 19 of
this table into the NOMINAL DOSE location using the + or - buttons.
26. Verify each dose (nominal, dose 1, and dose 2) by initiating fluoro operation and
measuring the I.I. input dose.
27. Press <<, then EXIT to exit out of FLUORO SETUP mode. Press EXIT, then EXIT

3F.1.0 INTRODUCTION

This section details setup and programming of the DAP (Dose-Area Product) meter, optional on Indico
100 X-ray generators.
Any references made to tube 2 or the ability to switch tubes in this section apply to two tube generators
only.

3F.2.0 DAP INTERFACING

3F.2.1 DAP Compatibility

The Indico 100 generator, when equipped with the DAP option, is compatible with the DAP devices listed
in section 3F.3.2. The correct DAP device must be selected in the DAP SETUP menu as described in
3F.3.2 in order to ensure device compatibility.

The DAP chamber, when fitted with the proper interconnect cable, plugs directly into the DAP interface
board in the generator. When ordering the DAP chamber from the DAP manufacturer, specify the CPI
compatible interconnect cable, if available. This is a special cable terminated with a 9 pin male “D”
connector that is designed to plug directly into the DAP interface board in the generator. If this cable is
not available from the DAP device manufacturer, consult CPI product support for the required cable to
connect the DAP chamber to the generator. Refer to the table below for the CPI cable assembly part
numbers.

3F.4.0 DAP CALIBRATION

The DAP device must be calibrated before use, and the calibration must be periodically checked as per
the DAP device manufacturers requirements, or as per local regulations.

3F.4.1 Equipment Required

The following equipment is required for DAP calibration.


• An X-ray cassette and film. The speed of the film / screen is not relevant, as the film is only used to
determine the area that is irradiated at the dose measurement plane.
An X-ray cassette and film is the preferred method to measure the irradiated area, but if this is
not readily available, for example if this is a digital only system, a procedure is given to determine the
required area using the imaging system.
• A film processor to develop the film, if required.
• A calibrated dosimeter.
• A ruler or tape measure with centimeter markings. This will be needed to measure the exposed area
of the film. If measuring in inches, use a calculator and multiply inches by 2.54 to obtain the
measurement in centimeters.

CPI Canada Inc. DAP Setup 3F

3F.4.2 DAP calibration overview

The first step involved in calibrating the DAP meter in the generator is to carefully make a dose
measurement at a given distance from the X-ray source. The next step is to expose a test film at the
same distance from the X-ray source as the dose measurement that was just made.
The dose-area product is calculated by multiplying the measured dose, in mGy, by the exposed
area of the film, in cm2. This gives the actual dose-area product, in mGycm2.
After the reference dose-area product is determined as described above, it is compared to the
DAP reading as measured by the generator. Adjustments are made to the CAL. VALUE parameter in the
DAP SETUP menu such that the consoles DAP display corresponds to the calculated dose-area product.
This procedure may need to be repeated several times until the required accuracy is obtained.
The reason the DAP device (a specialized ion chamber) is able to accurately measure the dose-
area product at its location at the bottom of the collimator is that although the radiation level falls off at a
rate inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source, the irradiated area increases as
the square of the distance from the source. For example, by doubling the distance, the dose falls to (½)2
= ¼ of the previous dose BUT the area increases to 22 = 4 times the area. Therefore, the dose-area
product will remain constant at a given distance from the source. This is also the reason that care must
be taken to ensure that the area measurement is done at the same distance from the X-ray source as the
dose measurement.

3F.4.3 DAP Calibration Procedure (Cont)

Use these steps to calibrate the DAP meter(s) in the generator.


Step Action
1. Set up the dosimeter as per figure 3F-1.The probe should be centered relative
to the central ray from the X-ray tube, and sufficiently far off the table top to
minimize scatter radiation. Do not use any absorber during this procedure.
2. Open the collimator such that the field size at the location of the probe is
approximately 12 cm X 12 cm. Ensure that the probe is fully irradiated.
3. Temporarily set the DAP MODE to IND. Refer to section 3F.3.2.
4. Enter DAP SETUP menu 1 or menu 2 as required to display the CAL. VALUE
1 parameter for DAP device 1, or the CAL. VALUE 2 parameter for DAP
device 2.
5. Select the desired DAP device to calibrate by selecting tube 1 or tube 2 via an
appropriate image receptor. Start with the over-table tube.
6. Set the generator to 70 kV, 100 mA, 20 ms.
7. Press DAP to access the RESET / TEST menu, then press RESET to reset the
DAP display to zero. Press EXIT to return to DAP SETUP menu 1 or menu 2.
8. Make an X-ray exposure and note the dose per the dosimeter. Record the mR
or mGy value in a copy of table 3F-1. Convert the mR value to mGy, if
necessary.
9. Note the DAP value as displayed on the console, and record the value in a
copy of table 3F-1.
10. Replace the dosimeter with an X-ray cassette and film if available. The film
plane must be at the same location as the dosimeter was in step 8.
If using an image sensor such as an I.I., or flat panel, or other non-film image
sensor, the image pickup plane must be at the same location as the dosimeter
was in step 8.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS STEP CANNOT BE OVERSTATED: THE
IRRADIATED AREA MEASUREMENT MUST BE MADE AT A POINT THAT
IS THE SAME DISTANCE FROM THE X-RAY SOURCE AS THE DOSE WAS
MEASURED AT.
11. Ensure that the collimator field at the measurement plane is smaller than the
active area of the image pick-up device (film, I.I., or other). Refer to figure 3F-2.
Do not readjust the collimator from the setting that was used in step 8.
12. Make another exposure using the same settings as in step 6.
13. Develop the film (if used).
14. Measure the irradiated image area. For film, measure the length and width of
the exposed area, and record the results in table 3F-1. Refer to figure 3F-2.
If using a digital imaging system, some systems have a cursor available that
allows measurement of the length and width of the area in question. If the
digital imaging system does not allow image size measurement, it is suggested
that an X-ray opaque item of known dimensions be placed at the image plane.
(A collimator test tool would be useful in this application). The length and width
of the irradiated area can then be extrapolated by comparison to the size of the
reference object. Record the length and width of the irradiated area at the
measurement plane in table 3F-1.
15. Calculate the irradiated image area, in cm2. Use the length and width recorded
in table 3F-1.
16. Calculate the dose-area product by multiplying the area from table 3F-1 X the
dose in mGy from table 3F-1. Record the resulting value at step 3 in table 3F-1.

2.0 EQUIPMENT SETUP

1. Place the radiation probe above the table approximately 25 cm (10”). Select an SID of
approximately 100 cm (40”).

2. Place a lead diaphragm over the detector and adjust its height so that the X-ray beam covers the
detector but does not over radiate the sides of the ‘R’ probe. Refer to figure 1.

Figure 1: mR measurement setup

3.0 REPRODUCIBILITY

Calculate reproducibility as follows:

1. Using kV and mA/ms or mAs values per tables 1 to 4, make a series of 5 exposures.

2. Record each of the measured mR values in the appropriate table. Refer to step 3 before
beginning step 2.

3. Record the preselected mAs for each series of exposures in the header of each table. For 3 point
generators, this is the calculated mAs value where mAs = mA X time in seconds (example for
160 mA and 125 ms, mAs = 160 X 0.125 = 20 mAs).

5.0 H.V.L. EVALUATION

1. Be sure the X-ray source assembly (X-ray tube and beam limiting device) is fully assembled and
functional.

2. Use the test setup as per figure 1.

3. Set the generator as follows: 3 point generators, 80 kV, 200 mA, 50 ms, large focus. For 2 point
generators use 80 kV, 200 mA if this can be set, and 10 mAs.

4. Take a series of three exposures and record the mR values in table 10. Calculate and record the
average of the three exposures.

5. Place 2 mm of Al on top of the lead diaphragm (total of 2 mm added), repeat the exposure and
record the mR value in table 10.

6. Place an additional 1 mm of Al on top of the lead diaphragm (total of 3 mm added), repeat the
exposure; and record the mR value in table 10.

7. Place an additional 3 mm of Al on top of the lead diaphragm (total of 6 mm added), repeat the
exposure; and record the mR value in table 10.

8. The relative transmission for the average of the three mR values where no Al was added is
assigned a value of 1.00. Using that base, assign relative transmission values to the remaining
mR values. For example, if the average mR value was 247 and has a relative transmission factor
of 1.00, then 162 mR will have a relative transmission of 162 / 247 = 0.66.

9. Plot the relative transmission values in figure 1. This should produce a straight line on the graph
since the X-axis is logarithmic.

10. Interpolate to determine the HVL. The Al thickness at a relative transmission of 0.5 will be the
required HVL value.

11. Repeat steps 4 to 10: 3 point generators, 100 kV, 200 mA, 50 ms, large focus. For 2 point
generators use 100 kV, 200 mA if this can be set, and 10 mAs. Use table 11 to record the values
and figure 2 to plot the results

12. Table 12 and figure 3 show example HVL determination.

* The generator purges the existing X-ray tube auto calibration data before starting the auto calibration
routine and saving new calibration data. Therefore, auto calibration should be a last resort during
general troubleshooting, and should only be done to recalibrate the tube. For example, if a low mA
fault is presented, you should ensure that the generator is fully functional, and actually needs
recalibration. If calibration is attempted on a partially functional generator, the auto calibration routine
may be aborted before any calibration is done, and the generator will inhibit further exposures until the
selected mA is calibrated for the selected kV.

be restored via GenWare®. The procedure for resetting console factory defaults is described in
chapter 6.

5.4.0 MISCELLANEOUS FAULTS

5.4.1 Erratic Console Faults

SYMPTOM: In some environments that are “electrically noisy”, the console may exhibit erratic faults i.e. RAM
data error, intermittent loss of communication, or random fault messages may be displayed.

SOLUTION: Connect a separate ground wire, #14 AWG (2.3 mm2) or larger from the ground stud on the rear
of the console (marked CONSOLE GROUND in the figure “rear of control console” in chapter 2)
to the ground stud located to the left of the main input fuse block. This is marked GROUND in the
figure “generator mains connection” in chapter 2.

6.1.0 INTRODUCTION

This chapter of the manual provides a recommended schedule for periodic maintenance of the Millenia and
Indico 100 family of generators.

NOTE: REFERENCES IN THIS SECTION TO CONSOLE SERVICING (CONSOLE EPROM


REPLACEMENT, SETTING CONSOLE CPU FACTORY DEFAULTS, CONSOLE BATTERY
REPLACEMENT, ETC) DO NOT APPLY TO THE TOUCH SCREEN CONSOLE.
THE TOUCH SCREEN CONSOLE IS NOT FIELD SERVICEABLE, PLEASE CONTACT THE
FACTORY FOR SERVICE.

6.2.0 X-RAY GENERATOR UPDATE/SERVICE RECORD

The X-ray generator update / service record is stored in the upper cabinet of the generator (Millenia) or on the
back of the panel which accesses the control boards in the lower cabinet (Indico 100). The installation date
and location should be recorded on this form at the time of the original site installation.
Service and repairs must be recorded in the update / service record. The record should be as
thorough as possible, detailing the scope and type of work that was performed (all service and a record of all
replacement parts that were installed). Additionally, the person performing the work should date and sign the
record.
This information will be invaluable in the future for traceability and to ensure continued compatibility of
the generator.

6.3.0 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

6.4.0 OIL FILL/LEVEL CHECK (HT TANK)

The insulating oil level in the HT transformer does NOT require periodic checking under normal conditions.
However, if there is evidence of possible oil loss, the procedure for checking the correct oil level follows. Refer
to 6.4.1 for Millenia generators, and to 6.4.2 for Indico 100 generators.

6.4.1 Millenia Oil Fill/Level Check

1. Using a suitable wrench, remove the oil fill cap on top of the HT transformer.

2. Measure the oil level from the TOP surface of the oil fill flange using a clean ruler. The oil level should
be in the range of 7/8” (22 mm) to 1 3/8” (35 mm) from the top of the flange. Add oil if the oil level is
low, that is greater than 1 3/8” (35 mm) from the top.

3. Use only fresh oil, type Shell DIALA AX or equivalent. Take care not to damage delicate components
inside the tank if using a funnel for oil fill.

4. Replace the oil filler cap and tighten when finished. Wipe up any oil spills. Dispose of soiled absorber
in compliance with government requirements and ensure conformity to local disposal regulations.

CPI Canada Inc Regular Maintenance 6

6.4.2 Indico 100 Oil Fill/Level Check

1. Loosen the oil fill plug screw on the Indico 100 tank lid.

2. With the screw sufficiently loosened, remove the rubber (neoprene) plug.

3. Use a clean ruler, strip of cardboard, or other equivalent material to determine the oil level --
measured always from the TOP surface of the HT tank’s lid.
• Normally the oil level should be between 0.88 - 1.25 inches (22 - 32 mm) from the top of the tank
lid.
• If the oil level is between 1.25 - 1.6 inches (32 - 41 mm) from the top of the tank lid, then clean oil
should be added as needed.
• If the oil level is greater than 1.6 inches (41 mm) below the top of the tank lid, please consult the
factory.

Figure 6-2: HT tank oil level

4. Use only fresh oil, type Shell DIALA AX or equivalent. It is critical that air is not added when topping up
the oil. The following procedure is strongly recommended when adding oil.
• Use a new clean syringe to remove oil from the container. A 60 cc catheter tip syringe is
recommended. Approximately 60 cc of oil is required to raise the oil level by one millimeter.
• Turn the syringe upright and expel any trapped air.
• Place the tip of the syringe through the oil-fill plug and into the oil, ensuring that it is below the
surface of the oil.
• Gently eject the oil from the syringe into the HT tank, while making sure that the tip of the syringe
remains below the surface of the oil until all of the oil is emptied from the syringe.
• Repeat the previous steps until the required amount of oil has been added.

5. Replace the oil fill plug. Once the plug is installed and the screw properly seated, tighten the screw 4
turns. This will secure the oil fill plug. Wipe up any oil spills. Dispose of soiled absorber in compliance
with government requirements and ensure conformity to local disposal regulations. THE OIL DOES
NOT CONTAIN PCBs.

6.5.0 CLEANING

• Never use anything other than soap and water to clean plastic surfaces. Other cleaners may damage the
plastic.
• Never use any corrosive, solvent or abrasive detergents or polishes.
• Ensure that no water or other liquid can enter any equipment. This precaution prevents short circuits and
corrosion forming on components.
• Methods of disinfection used must conform to legal regulations and guidelines regarding disinfection and
explosion protection.
• If disinfectants are used which form explosive mixtures of gases, these gases must have dissipated before
switching on the equipment again.
• Disinfection by spraying is not recommended because the disinfectant may enter the X-ray equipment.
• If room disinfection is done with an atomizer, it is recommended that the equipment be switched OFF,
allowed to cool down and covered with a plastic sheet. When the disinfectant mist has subsided, the
plastic sheet may be removed and the equipment be disinfected by wiping.

6.8.0 BATTERY REPLACEMENT

To replace the battery on the console CPU board or on the generator CPU board, follow the procedure below.
Refer to the figure showing the location of these batteries in chapter 2, in the section “CHECKING THE RAM
BACKUP BATTERY VOLTAGE”. Refer to that section in chapter 2 for console disassembly instructions to gain
access to the console CPU board if required.

NOTE: THE CONSOLE BATTERY SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH THE GENERATOR POWERED UP.
THIS WILL PREVENT THE CONSOLE DATA FROM BEING LOST WHEN THE BATTERIES ARE
REMOVED.

THIS IS THE ONLY EXCEPTION TO THE RULE OF NOT SERVICING THE GENERATOR WHILE
THE POWER IS ON. FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE HIGH VOLTAGE LOCATIONS AND
HAZARDS BEFORE REPLACING THIS BATTERY.

1. Remove the battery from the holder by gently prying under the battery at the access slot in the battery
holder using a small screwdriver. Slide the battery over the edge of the holder and remove it when it is
free.

2. Check the voltage of the new battery prior to inserting it. This should be nominally 3.0V, do not use if it
is under 2.80 V.

3. Wipe the replacement battery with a clean cloth, and ensure that the holder is clean and free of debris
before inserting the battery.

4. Gently lift the spring contact on the holder and insert the replacement battery positive (+) side up

6.9.0 TUBE CONDITIONING / SEASONING

Tube conditioning or “seasoning” is particularly important for new tubes or tubes that have not been used for
several days. This should be performed on each X-ray tube before attempting auto calibration, as an
unseasoned tube may not operate properly at higher kV values without arcing. Refer to the X-ray tube
manufacturer’s instructions, if available, for the tube conditioning or “seasoning” procedure. If the X-ray tube
manufacturers instructions are not available, the following procedure may be used:

6.9.1 Tube Conditioning (Overview)

The generator does X-ray tube auto calibration at 50 kV, 60 kV, 70 kV, 80 kV, 100 kV and 120 kV. The tube
normally needs to be seasoned before it can be operated at the higher voltages encountered during auto
calibration.
Tube seasoning is started by auto calibrating the kV stations up to and including part of the 70 kV
station. The tube is then seasoned at 70 kV. Progressively higher kV stations are then auto calibrated and
seasoned. Finally the entire kV and mA range is auto calibrated, then the tube is seasoned at the remaining
high kV values.
Manually releasing the exposure button during auto calibration of a particular kV station in the
following procedure prevents the generator from attempting operation beyond that kV/mA value.

NOTE: THE TUBE MANUFACTURER’S RECOMMENDED SEASONING PROCEDURE, IF AVAILABLE,


MUST ALWAYS BE USED IN PLACE OF THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE.

Page 6-10 Rev. L Millenia / Indico 100 Series Service Manual Ch # 740904-10
CPI Canada Inc Regular Maintenance 6

6.9.1 Tube Conditioning (Overview) Cont

NOTE: LOW SPEED ONLY EXPOSURES ARE RECOMMENDED FOR THE SEASONING EXPOSURES,
TO PREVENT EXCESSIVE HEAT BUILD-UP IN THE HOUSING FROM THE STATOR WINDINGS
OR THE ROTOR BEARINGS.

X-ray tubes that have not been used for more than 8 hours may suffer thermal shock if operated at
high mA and kV without a warm-up procedure. A cold anode (Molybdenum) is very brittle and when
suddenly heated over a small area may experience thermal cracking of the anode surface, eventually
leading to permanent tube damage.

6.9.2 Tube Conditioning (Procedure)

X-ray tube seasoning should be done on LARGE focus in order to minimize tube wear.

The procedure below is intended for seasoning an X-ray tube prior to attempting tube auto calibration. To
season a tube that does not need to be calibrated, simply follow steps 2, 4, 6, 8, and 9.

1. Start the tube auto calibration sequence, and manually terminate the exposure at 70 kV and 250 mA.

2. Season the tube at 70 kV by taking approximately 10 exposures of 200 mA and 100 ms. These
exposures should be taken at the rate of approximately one every 15 seconds.

3. Restart the auto calibration sequence and manually terminate the exposure at 100 kV and 250 mA.

4. Season the tube at 100 kV by taking approximately 5 exposures of 200 mA and 100 ms. These
exposures should be taken at the rate of approximately one every 15 seconds.

5. Restart the auto calibration sequence and manually terminate the exposure at 120 kV and 160 mA.

6. Season the tube at 120 kV by taking approximately 5 exposures of 160 mA and 100 ms. These
exposures should be taken at the rate of approximately one every 15 seconds.

7. Restart the auto calibration sequence and allow the auto calibration sequence to complete.

8. Season the tube at 130 kV by taking approximately 5 exposures of 100 mA and 50 ms. These
exposures should be taken at the rate of approximately one every 15 seconds.

9. Repeat step 8 at 140 kV, and then at 145 kV.

7 Theory of Operation CPI Canada Inc

7.1.0 INTRODUCTION

This chapter contains the theory of operation for the Indico 100 series of X-ray generators. The theory of
operation is organized by functional blocks as depicted in the functional drawings in chapter 9.

7.2.0 FUNCTIONAL THEORY OF OPERATION

Refer to the appropriate functional block diagram in chapter 9 in conjunction with the theory of operation
in this chapter. Waveforms and voltages at the pertinent test points are shown on the last page of each
functional drawing.

7.2.1 System ON (MD-0762)

The left side of this drawing shows the wiring from the ON and OFF switches on the console “keyboard
assemblies” to J4-10, J4-11 and J4-12 on the generator interface board for the various Indico 100
consoles (J16-3, J16-6, J16-7 for the Rad-only console).
The generator interface board on the Indico 100 X-ray generator includes power ON and OFF switches
S2 and S1 that may be used to switch the generator on and off locally while working on the equipment.
These switches are connected in parallel with the main generator power ON and OFF switches that are
located on the console.
Pressing either of the power ON switches described above turns on Q2 on the generator interface board.
This turns on Q3, holding the collector of Q3 low. This latches Q2 on by holding the base of Q2 low when
the ON button is released.
The collector of Q3 is connected to K2 and K3 via D16. These relays will energize if S3 is in the NORMAL
position when the generator is switched on. If S3 is in the LOCKOUT position, the generator cannot be
inadvertently switched on.
When K2 and K3 are energized, the DC rails (+5 V, +12 V, +15 V, +24 V, -12 V, -15 V, and -24 V) on the
generator interface board are established, and +24 V is supplied to the console via K3 (see MD-0788,
sheet 4).
The generator CPU will issue a P/S ON (power supply ON) command after the +5 V rail is detected as
described in 7.2.2.

JW1 on the generator interface board may be jumpered such that K1 is energized only when the
generator is switched on, or such that K1 is energized at all times that the AC mains to the generator is
on. K1 switches the 110 and 220 VAC supplies for the room interface board, as shown on sheet 4 of MD-
0788.

Pressing either of the OFF switches turns on Q1 on the generator interface board. This turns off Q2,
turning off Q3. This will de-energize K2, K3, and / or K1 on the generator interface board, removing the
DC rails from the generator interface board and removing the +24 V supply from the console. De-
energizing K1 (if applicable) will disconnect the 110 / 220 VAC supplies to the room interface board.

In normal operation, J17-1 and J17-2 are joined via a wire jumper. An emergency-off switch may be
connected to the generator by removing the jumper between J17-1 and J17-2, and then wiring the
emergency-off switch to J17-1 and J17-2.

CPI Canada Inc Theory of Operation 7
7.2.2 DC bus & power distribution (MD-0788)

Refer to MD-0788, sheet 1:


Sheet 1 of MD-0788 applies to three phase units. Portions of sheet 1 are common to single phase and
three phase units. Sheet 2 details the circuits that are different between single and three phase
generators.
Assuming that the AC mains is connected and switched on, line voltage is applied to the primary of room
interface transformer T2 via F1 and F2. This will establish the 24 VDC supply via F5 and D3 on the
generator interface board, as shown on sheet 4.
Several seconds after the generator has been switched on as per 7.2.1, the generator CPU will issue a
P/S ON (power supply ON) command, resulting in 24 VDC being applied to J5-3 and J5-4 on the auxiliary
board as described under MD-0788, sheet 3. This will energize K1 and K2 on the power input board via
relay K1 on the auxiliary board (K1 is shown in the normal, i.e. no soft-start fault position).
With K2 on the power input board energized, line voltage is applied to power supply auxiliary transformer
T1. The primary of T1, an autotransformer, supplies 120 VAC for the fans and for the tube 1 / tube 2
solenoid in the HT tank, 120 or 240 VAC for rotor boost, and 52 / 73 / 94 VAC for rotor-run as described
later in this section. The secondary of T1 supplies low voltage AC to the auxiliary board as per sheet 3.
When K1 on the power input board is energized, line voltage is applied to the input of D1 via soft-start
current limit resistors R10 and R11, thus pre-charging the DC bus capacitors. Normal charging of the DC
bus is sensed by U1 via R5 to R8, D3, R18 / R19 and R16 / R17.
The emitter of U1 will rise toward +6 V as the DC bus charges. The emitter is connected to the soft-start
protection circuit on the auxiliary board. If the DC bus capacitors charge normally, K1 on the auxiliary
board will remain de-energized, D3 will be lit, and the soft start driver circuit (U3B, Q6, etc) will issue a
contactor-closed signal after approximately 20 seconds. This will light D2 on the auxiliary board, output a
logic low signal to the CPU via J5-7 of the auxiliary board to indicate that the main contactor is closed,
and close the main power contactor K5 on the power input board. The line voltage will then be directly
rectified by D1 to produce approximately 560 VDC for 400 V units, or approximately 670 VDC for 480 V
units. This DC bus voltage is switched by the inverter board(s) to produce the drive for the primary of the
HT transformers as described in 7.2.5.
If U1 on the power input board does not indicate normal bus charging, the soft start protection circuit will
energize K1 on the auxiliary board. This will open K1 on the power input board, but leave K2 energized
via R1 / R2. De-energizing K1 on the power input board opens the soft-start charging path via R10 and
R11. With K1 on the auxiliary board energized, Q6 on the auxiliary board cannot turn on. This keeps K5
on the power input board de-energized, and holds J5-7 of the auxiliary board high to indicate to the
generator CPU that the main contactor is open.
For R&F generators, a logic circuit (U11, Q9, etc) on the auxiliary board controls the cooling fans in the
generator. During fluoroscopic operation, and for approximately 20 minutes after switching from fluoro to
Rad operation, the output of the fluoro fan timer / driver circuit will be low, lighting D37 on the auxiliary
board and energizing K4 on the power input board. This will supply 120 VAC to the cooling fans from T1
via F4 and K4 on the power input board.
When tube 2 is selected (two tube units only), J1-6 on the auxiliary board is pulled low via the control
board. This will close K3 on the power input board, supplying 120 VAC to energize the tube 1 / tube 2
solenoid in the HT tank. The tube 1 / tube 2 select signal is also taken to J2-9 on the low speed starter
board as described in 7.2.7.
When the generator is switched off, the loss of the DC rails on the generator interface board (which
supplies the generator CPU board) will remove the drive for K1 and K2 on the power input board, causing
these relays to open. Line voltage will then be removed from the power supply auxiliary transformer T1,
causing loss of the DC rails on the auxiliary board. When the 12 V rail has collapsed, U2 on the power
input board will turn off. This allows the DC bus discharge circuit to be biased on by R20, rapidly
discharging the DC bus capacitors through R16 / R17 and R18 / R19.

Depending on the tap settings on T1, the low speed starter boost voltage will be 120 or 240 VAC, and the
run-voltage will be 52, 73, or 94 VAC. Refer to chapter 2 of the service manual for the procedure for
setting these taps.

Refer to MD-0788, sheet 2:

Sheet 2 of MD-0788 applies to single-phase units. The circuits that are common to single phase and
three phase units are described on sheet 1.
Assuming that the AC mains is connected and switched on, line voltage is applied to the primary of room
interface transformer T2 via F1 and F2. This will establish the 24 VDC supply via F5 and D3 on the
generator interface board, as shown on sheet 4.
Several seconds after the generator has been switched on as per 7.2.1, the generator CPU will issue a
generator-ON command, resulting in 24 VDC being applied to J5-3 and J5-4 on the auxiliary board as
described under MD-0788, sheet 3. This will energize K1 and K2 on the power input board.
With K2 on the power input board energized, line voltage is applied to power supply auxiliary transformer
T1. The primary of T1, an autotransformer, supplies 120 VAC for the fans and for the tube 1 / tube 2
solenoid in the HT tank, 120 or 240 VAC for rotor boost, and 52 / 73 / 94 VAC for rotor-run as described
later in this section. The secondary of T1 supplies low voltage AC to the auxiliary board as per sheet 3.
When K1 on the power input board energizes, line voltage is applied to the voltage doubler circuit via
soft-start current limit resistors R10 and R11, thus pre-charging the DC bus capacitors. Normal charging
of the DC bus is sensed by U1 via R6 to R8, R16 to R21, D3, etc. D2 will light to indicate that U1 is
energized (indicating that the DC bus is charged).
The emitter of U1 will rise toward +6 V as the DC bus charges. The emitter is connected to the soft-start
protection circuit on the auxiliary board, and is described on sheet 1. If the DC bus capacitors charge
normally, the main contactor K5 on the power input board will close, applying the line voltage directly to
the voltage doubler circuit where it is rectified and doubled to produce approximately 650 VDC. This DC
bus voltage is switched by the inverter board(s) to produce the drive for the primary of the HT
transformers as described in 7.2.5.
If U1 on the power input board does not indicate normal bus charging, the soft start protection circuit will
energize K1 on the auxiliary board, and K5 will remain de-energized as described previously
The operation of the cooling fans via K4 on the power input board and the operation of the tube 1 / tube 2
solenoid via K3 is described on the previous page.
The power down sequence is similar to that described on the previous page, except that single phase
units do not have a rapid discharge circuit. The DC bus capacitors will discharge through bleeder
resistors connected across the bus capacitors, with a time constant ≤ 5 minutes.
Depending on the tap settings on T1, the low speed starter boost voltage will be 120 or 240 VAC, and the
run-voltage will be 52, 73, or 94 VAC. Refer to chapter 2 of the service manual for the procedure for
setting these taps.

7.2.2 DC bus & power distribution (Cont)

Refer to MD-0788, sheet 3:


Line voltage is connected to the primary of power supply auxiliary transformer T1 when the generator is
switched ON, i.e. when K2 on the power input board is energized. The DC rails on the auxiliary board will
then be established (+/- 35 V via F3, F4 and D32, and +/- 12 V via F1, F2, D33, U5 and U6 which are
connected in parallel, and U4).
The required DC rails are then distributed to the filament supply board(s) and to the control and dual
speed starter boards as shown on sheet 3. Regulators on the control board and dual speed starter board
supply +5 V for those boards as shown.
When the main contactor K5 on the power input board closes, J5-7 of the auxiliary board is taken low.
This logic low signal is taken to the control board, where it enables the prep signal to the dual speed
starter board as described in 7.2.8, and also turns on Q16 on the control board, turning on opto-coupler
U9 on the generator CPU board. The output of U9, which indicates the contactor-closed status, is
monitored by the CPU via U24. U9 also drives contactor-closed status LEDs DS9 / DS10, where DS9
lights to indicate that the contactor is closed.
When the +5 V rail on the generator interface board is established, the generator CPU will start to
function. The CPU will perform its start-up diagnostics, and then output data (bit 0) via U27, U19, and
U16 to energize opto coupler U17 on the generator CPU board. This will turn on Q4, applying ±15 V to
J5-3 and J5-4 on the auxiliary board via current limit resistors R27 / R32 and the control board, resulting
in approximately 24 VDC to close K1 and K2 on the power input board, as described earlier. DS34 /
DS35 indicate the P/S ON status, where DS34 lights to indicate that the power supply is on.
The tube 1 / tube 2 select signal (bit 2) is generated by the CPU, then latched and buffered by U27 and
U19 on the generator CPU board. The tube 1 / tube 2 select signal is then applied to U16 and to the tube
1 / tube 2 tellback logic circuit as per 7.2.10. The output of U16 drives U7 on the control board, which in-
turn drives Q1. Q1 turns on when tube 2 is selected, pulling J1-6 on the auxiliary board low. This
energizes K3 on the power input board as described earlier. The tube 1 / tube 2 select signal is also fed
to the dual speed starter as described in 7.2.8.
For continuous fluoro mode, the CPU sends data (bit 7) to data latch U27 on the generator CPU board.
This is then applied to driver U16, and to DS22 / DS23 which indicate continuous fluoro (FLUORO) or
Rad / pulsed fluoro (FLUORO bar) operation. The output of U16 drives opto coupler U40 on the control
board, which pulls J1-5 on the auxiliary board high for Rad / pulsed fluoro operation and low for
continuous fluoro operation. This high / low signal is applied to the fluoro fan timer / driver circuit (sheet
1), and to the Rad / fluoro and power mode select circuits as described in 7.2.9.
When pulsed fluoro or low power Rad operation is selected, the CPU sends data (bit 3) to data latch U49.
The data latch drives Q1 and DS2 / DS4 on the generator CPU board. DS2 lights to indicate low power /
pulsed fluoro operation, while DS4 indicates high power Rad operation. Q1 on the generator CPU board
drives opto coupler U41 on the control board, which pulls J1-3 on the auxiliary board high for PF / low
power operation, and low for high power Rad mode. This signal is then applied to the fluoro fan timer /
driver circuit (sheet 1), and to the Rad / fluoro and power mode select circuits as described in 7.2.9.
U3C and U3D on the auxiliary board monitor the + and -12 V supplies on that board. The outputs of U3C
and U3D will switch low if either of these supplies drops below predefined limits, lighting DS1 and sending
a fault signal to the control board and to the driver for K1 on the low speed starter board.
A soft-start fault signal is generated if the DC bus capacitors do not charge normally (SOFT START
FAULT SIGNAL from the soft start driver circuit on page 1). This signal is fed to U3A on the auxiliary
board, whose output will switch low if a soft-start fault exists. This is OR’ed together with the outputs of
U3C and U3D, and has the same effect as described above for a +/-12 V fault.

7.2.2 DC bus & power distribution (Cont)

Refer to MD-0788, sheet 4:


Line voltage is connected to the primary of room interface transformer T2 whenever the AC mains is
connected and switched on. With the generator switched on, K2 on the generator interface board will
close, establishing the DC rails on the generator interface board via F3 / F4 and D1 (+/- 24 V, + 15 V via
U5, +5 V via F6 and the +5 V / +16 V power supply circuit, + 12 V via U3, -12 V via U2, and -15 V via U4).
The required DC rails are then distributed to the digital I/O board, to the AEC board, to the room interface
board, and to the generator CPU board, where DS33 and DS36-DS39 indicate the presence of the
associated DC rails.
The 24 VDC supply that is derived from D3 / C10 is used by the on / off circuit on the generator interface
board (MD-0762), and is also fed to the console when the on / off circuit closes K3. Power supplies and /
or voltage regulators on the console produce the required DC rails for the console circuits. Additionally,
the console includes a 300 VAC power supply that drives the cold-cathode fluorescent lamp that
backlights the LCD display.
110 and 220 VAC is supplied to the room interface board. The 110 / 220 VAC supplies are only present
when K1 on the generator interface board is closed. K1 may be configured to be closed at all times that
AC mains is supplied to the generator, or K1 may be configured to close only when the generator is
switched on. Refer to 7.2.1, SYSTEM ON, for details.
24 VDC is available at J17-3 and J17-4 to drive the coil of a power distribution relay in installations with
installer supplied power distribution circuits. The maximum current available from this source is 100
mA.

Refer to MD-0788, sheet 5:


Sheet 5 shows the power distribution (DC rails) to the remote fluoro control, and to the Indico 100
consoles other than those shown on page 4.

7.2.3 Room interface (MD-0763)

Refer to MD-0763, sheet 1:


Sheet 1 shows the room interface inputs. These are shown on the left side of the drawing. Nine of the
inputs energize opto couplers via 4-pin jumpers; the remaining inputs energize the associated opto
coupler directly. The inputs that have a connector (JW7, JW10, JW15, etc) in series with the opto
coupler(s) may be configured such that shorting the input turns on the opto coupler, or may be configured
such that applying 24 VDC across the input energizes the opto coupler. The remaining inputs are only
active when the inputs are shorted.
For inputs with a 4-pin jumper in series with the opto coupler, the jumper must be across pins 2 and 3 of
the connector if the input is a 24 VDC source. If using this configuration, observe the polarity of the 24
VDC source to ensure that the opto coupler is correctly driven. Jumper across pins 1 and 2 and pins 3
and 4 of the connector if it is desired to activate the opto coupler by shorting across that input.
For the REMOTE FLUORO EXPOSURE input and the REMOTE EXPOSURE input, two or three opto
couplers are connected in series. MD-0763 shows the opto coupler relevant to the room interface
function. The second and / or third opto coupler is shown on MD-0761 and described in 7.2.4.
One set of thermal switch inputs is available on the room interface board as shown. A second set of
thermal switch inputs is available on the stator terminal block. The thermal switch inputs on the stator
terminal block are routed to T1 and T2 (at R33 and R34 respectively) on the generator interface board.
The generator CPU monitors the output of each opto coupler via logic circuits on the generator interface
board.

7.2.3 Room interface (Cont)

Refer to MD-0763, sheet 2:


Sheet 2 shows the room interface outputs. These are shown on the right side of the drawing. Five of the
outputs may be configured to supply +24 VDC, 110 VAC, or 220 VAC or to provide a dry contact closure
when the output is active. Three of the outputs may be configured to supply +24 VDC or to provide a dry
contact closure when the output is active, and the remaining three outputs are permanently configured to
provide a dry contact closure when the output is active.
When any of the outputs on the room interface board are to be made active, the generator CPU will send
data to address decoders, latches, and driver circuits on the generator interface board. These circuits
decode the data, and drive relays K1 to K13 on the room interface board. The contacts of each of these
relays drive the room interface outputs.
JW1 to JW5 may be configured such that the corresponding output is a dry relay contact by placing the
jumper in the DRY position. Placing the jumper in the LIVE position will cause +24 VDC, 110 VAC, or 220
VAC to be output, depending on the voltage source selected at TB11. To select the desired voltage
source, a wire jumper must be connected from TB11 pins 1-5 to TB10 to select 220 VAC, to TB9 to select
110 VAC, or to TB8 to select 24 VDC. For example, if it is intended that the TOMO / BUCKY 4 SELECT
output should provide 110 VAC when that output is active, JW1 must be jumpered in the LIVE position
and a wire jumper must be connected from TB11-4 to one of the available positions on TB9.
With JW1 to JW5 in the LIVE position, relays K1 - K4 and K6 switch the return side of the circuit. If
multiple switched voltage outputs are required, jumper the desired voltage to TB11, select the DRY
position on JW1 to JW5, connect the switched output to the relay output (example TB1-1 for JW1), and
connect the common return directly to TB7.
Relays K1 to K4 and K6 have R-C snubbers connected across the contacts to quench contact arcing
when the relay opens while driving inductive loads. If the output is configured to supply 110 or 220 VAC,
and the load is an opto coupler or other low-current device, sufficient AC current may flow through the
snubber to energize the load when the relay is open. If this is the case, the jumper that is in series with
the snubber may need to be removed. Further details on this may be found in chapter 3B.
JW6 to JW8 may be configured such that the corresponding output is a dry relay contact by placing the
jumper in the DRY position. Placing the jumper in the LIVE 24 VDC position will cause +24 VDC to be
output.
The remaining outputs (collimator bypass, room light, and mag 1 to mag 3) are permanently configured to
provide dry contact closures when the output is active.

7.2.4 X-ray exposure Rad / fluoro (MD-0761)

Refer to MD-0761, sheet 1:


The keyboard assembly and console board shown on sheet 1 is used on the 31 X 42 cm console. The
console portion of these circuits for the other Indico 100 console types is shown on sheet 3 and 4.
Pressing PREP pulls J4-7 on the generator interface board low via U25 on the console board. This turns
on U15 on the generator interface board. The generator CPU monitors the output of U15 via U18 and
U25, with a valid prep command being recognized when the output of U15 is low.
Pressing X-ray will pull J4-8 on the generator interface board low via U26 on the console board. This will
turn on U37 and U38 on the generator interface board. The generator CPU monitors the output of U37 via
U18 and U25. The software will recognize a logic low at the output of U37 as a hardware X-ray request
(X-ray switch pressed), and consequently will pull the emitter of U38 low via U25, U12, and U7. With the
emitter of U38 held low and U38 energized, the collector of U38 will be held low. This energizes U22 on
the generator interface board, turning on U46 on the generator CPU board. The generator CPU monitors
the output of U46, recognizing a valid X-ray request when the output of U46 is low. DS42 on the
generator CPU board will light to indicate that an X-ray request is being made.
An input via the REMOTE TOMO SELECT input will energize U8 and U10 on the generator interface
board (refer also to 7.2.3). The generator CPU monitors the output of U10 via U18 and U25, and
recognizes a logic low at the output of U10 as a remote tomo X-ray request. When a remote tomo
exposure request is received, the CPU will pull the emitter of U8 low via U25, U12, and U7. With the
emitter of U8 held low and U8 energized, the collector of U8 will be held low. This turns on U22 and U46
as described above, indicating to the CPU that a valid remote tomo request is being made.
A remote X-ray exposure request via the REMOTE EXPOSURE input will energize U41and U43 on the
generator interface board (refer also to 7.2.3). The generator CPU monitors the output of U41 via U18
and U25, and recognizes a logic low at the output of U41 as a remote exposure request. When a remote
exposure request is received, the CPU will pull the emitter of U43 low via U25, U12, and U7. With the
emitter of U43 held low and U43 energized, the collector of U43 will be held low. This turns on U22 and
U46 as described above, indicating to the CPU that a valid X-ray request is being made.
Pressing the fluoro foot switch (if connected to the console) will pull J4-6 on the generator interface board
low via U24 on the console board. This will turn on U30, U42, and U44 on the generator interface board.
These same opto couplers will be energized if the fluoro foot switch is connected to the room interface
board (refer to 7.2.3), and the fluoro foot switch is pressed. The generator CPU monitors the output of
U30 via U18 and U25. The software will recognize a logic low at the output of U30 as a fluoroscopic X-ray
request, and consequently will pull the emitter of U42 low via U25, U12, and U7. With the emitter of U42
held low and U42 energized, the collector of U42 will be held low. This turns on U22 and U46 as
described above, indicating to the CPU that a valid X-ray request is being made.
The generator interface board contains a last image hold circuit consisting of U44, U32, U39, C30, etc.
The last image hold circuit will keep U32 energized for approximately 100 milliseconds after the fluoro
foot switch has been released. The emitter of U32 will be held low by the generator CPU for the time of
the “last image hold” setting (up to 99 ms) in the receptor setup menu (chapter 3C). This will hold the
collector of U32 low, keeping U22 and U46 energized as previously described, and allowing the frame
store device to complete the last image.
The console CPU (U18) monitors the output of U24, U25, and U26 on the console board, recognizing a
console fluoroscopic X-ray request when the output of U24 is low, a prep request when the output of U25
is low, and a console X-ray request when the output of U26 is low.

Refer to MD-0761, sheet 2:


When a prep request has been made as described on page 1, the CPU will write data to the kV enable
and prep latches within U27 on the generator CPU board. The kV enable and prep commands light DS30
and DS27 on the generator CPU board when active, and drive U4 and U2 respectively on the control
board via U19 and U16 on the generator CPU board.
The emitter of U4 on the control board is held low when the HT tank is properly connected. If the output of
U4 is high (HT tank not connected, or kV enable command not present), the ENABLE line (TP10) will be
held low by the comparator circuit consisting of U11A, RN8, etc. This will hold the output of the “PREP
ENABLED” and “X-RAY REQUEST” comparator circuits low via D21 and D24, inhibiting the prep and X-
ray functions. If the kV ENABLE command is present, the output of U4 will be low, and the kV enable line
(TP10) will be high. This will reverse bias D21 and D24, allowing the PREP and X-RAY lines to be pulled
high when requested. The RESET command resets kV and mA faults that are latched by circuits on the
control board. Pressing the MENU / RESET button on the console toggles the kV enabled circuit,
resetting the fault latches.
The output of U2 on the control board will be low when PREP is active, causing the prep line (TP18) to be
pulled high by the comparator circuit consisting of U11B, U10C, etc. The prep command is taken to the
“GENERATOR READY” detector circuit and the logic “OR / NOR” circuits via D25. If the prep command
is present, and no faults exist, the base of Q12 will be pulled low, turning on Q12, thus indicating a
generator-ready condition. The prep command also initiates the boost cycle on the low speed or dual
speed starter (refer to 7.2.7 and 7.2.8).
When the generator CPU has received a valid X-ray request, the CPU will send an X-ray command to
data latch U27 on the generator CPU board. This will light DS26 on the generator CPU board, and will
pull the anodes of U5 and U3 on the control board high. The cathodes of U5 and U3 are held low by the
EXPOSURE ENABLE command from U22 (the line connected to the cathode of U46 on the generator
CPU board, page 1) during an X-ray request. Therefore, opto couplers U5 and U3 will only be energized
if both the hardware and software X-ray commands are present. Because these opto couplers and the
comparator circuits (U11D, RN7, U10D, etc) are connected in parallel, both opto couplers must be turned
on for TP12 to be pulled high. The X-ray request line is taken to the “OR / NOR” circuits consisting of Q4,
Q13, D91, etc. If the prep request is present, and no faults exist at the time of the X-ray request, the line
at TP14 will be pulled high. This enables the output of the VCO as described in 7.2.5.
The “GENERATOR READY” detector and the logic “OR / NOR” circuits are shown as a functional block
with six inputs as shown (PREP input, X-RAY input, and four fault inputs), and three outputs
(GENERATOR READY, DRIVE ENABLE, and HV / MA FAULT). The generator-ready and drive enable
signals are inhibited if any of the fault inputs are active (+/- 12V/SS FAULT, FILAMENT FAULT,
STATOR FAULT, HIGH KV / INVERTER FAULT, or HIGH MA FAULT). This will disable the inverter
drive, preventing any kV output.

Refer to MD-0761, sheet 3:


Opto coupler U6 on the generator CPU board will be turned on when the power supply ready signal that
originates on page 2 is present. The generator CPU monitors the output of U6 via U24, and DS17 on the
generator CPU board will light to indicate the generator-ready status.
For the Rad-only console, pressing PREP and X-RAY energizes U9 and U10 respectively. The inputs to
the generator interface board at J16-4 and J16-5 are pulled low via the LED portion of U9 / U10 and the
closed prep or X-ray exposure switch.
For the 23 X 56 cm console, the operation is similar to that for the 31 X 42 cm console as described on
sheet 1, except that the component reference designations are different.

Refer to MD-0761, sheet 4:


Sheet 4 shows the console prep and X-ray exposure circuits for the touch screen console. Pressing prep
or X-ray on the console directly pulls J4-7 and J4-8 on the generator interface board low, initiating the
appropriate action in the generator as described earlier.

7.2.5 kV control and feedback (MD-0759)

Refer to MD-0759, sheet 1:


When the CPU is satisfied that all requirements have been met to allow an X-ray exposure as described
in 7.2.4, the kV reference voltage will be produced by D/A converter U22 on the generator CPU board.
This is buffered by U14A, inverted by U13A on the control board, and then summed with the positive
going kV feedback signal from U16B at the input of error amplifier U13B. Error amplifier U13B will
regulate the kV by producing a DC output that is proportional to the difference between the kV reference
voltage and the kV feedback voltage.
The HT primary current is sampled by T1, and rectified by D27 to D30 to produce a current limit signal (a
negative voltage proportional to the primary current). This is applied to the input of U21A, where it will
limit the kV demand if the primary current exceeds normal limits. This current limit signal is also fed to
comparator U15, which generates a fault pulse if excessive primary current is sensed. The fault pulse is
detected by latch U32D and inverted by U33D. A primary (resonant) over current fault will light D70 and
pull the input of U33E low via D66. This will force the output of U33E high. The output of U33E is one of
the inputs to the “GENERATOR READY” detector and logic “OR / NOR” circuits described in 7.2.4. The
presence of a fault will immediately remove the generator-ready and drive enable signals, inhibiting the
inverter gate drive, thus preventing inverter damage due to the over-current condition.
The output of U21A will swing increasingly negative for increased kV demand. This kV demand voltage is
buffered and inverted by U21B, and then applied to the VCO (voltage controlled oscillator).
The VCO generates complementary output pulses that vary in frequency. The frequency of these pulses
is inversely proportional to demanded generator output power. The current sense feedback from T2
synchronizes the start of the pulses.
The output pulses from the VCO are applied to AND gates U24A and U24B. The drive enable signal from
MD-0761 is applied to the control inputs of U24, holding these inputs high if all logic conditions to allow an
X-ray exposure are satisfied. The pulses are inverted and level shifted by U26A and U26B, and then
applied to the gate-drive circuit as described on page 2.
The differential kV feedback voltage from the HT tank is brought to J9 on the generator control board.
This is applied to the inputs of U12A and U12B, where the kV feedback scaling is precisely set by R215.
The differential feedback signals are then summed by U16B. The output of U16B supplies a kV feedback
signal to error amplifier U13B as described earlier. The kV feedback signal is also fed to the CPU via
U16A on the control board, and U15A, U15B, and A/D converter U37 on the generator CPU board where
it is used to monitor the output voltage during an exposure. The kV feedback signal is also routed to the
high kV detector and latch, which drives D69 and U33E. The output of U33E, when high, will inhibit the
inverter gate drive as described previously.
The outputs of U14A and U15A on the generator CPU board are summed and compared by the HV ON
DETECTOR CIRCUIT, consisting of U30D, Q6, etc. This produces a HV ON signal when the actual kV is
greater than approximately 75% of the demanded kV. The HV ON signal is brought to the digital interface
board, where it is made available to those digital imaging systems that require this signal to synchronize
the exposure.

shoot through fault is sensed, current sense transformers on the inverter board(s) will supply a current
pulse that is fed to the control board at J14-1 & J14-3, J15-1 & J15-3, and / or J16-1 & J16-3. An inverter
fault is then detected by comparator circuits on the control board, latched, and inverted (a logic low at the
outputs of the INVERTER 1, INVERTER 2, or INVERTER 3 FAULT LATCH & LOGIC INVERTER circuits
indicates a fault). An inverter fault will light D80, D81, or D82, and will pull the output of the logic OR
circuit (D87-D89, U35C) low. This will take the input of U33E low, forcing the output of U33E high, thus
inhibiting the inverter gate drive as per high primary current and high kV faults described earlier.
The fault latches that drive the input of U33E are reset by the RESET command, which originates on MD-
0761.

Refer to MD-0759, sheet 2:


The drive pulses from page 1 are applied to the input of the gate-drive circuit on the control board. The
gate-drive circuit utilizes MOSFETs that form a full bridge inverter circuit. This circuit provides current
gain for the gate pulses. The high frequency gate pulses are then applied to the power MOSFETS on the
inverter board(s) via J10 and / or J11 and / or J12 on the control board.
The inverter board(s) produce the high power drive for the HT transformers (Indico 100 X-ray generators
use one, two, or three inverter boards, depending on output power). The output of the inverter board(s)
drive the primaries of the HT transformers via the resonant capacitor and the fluoro / EMC / sharing
inductors.
During radiographic operation, contactor K1 shorts out the fluoro inductor. This inductor is in-circuit during
fluoroscopy, and optimizes the output tuning during fluoroscopic operation. The drive circuit for K1 is
detailed in 7.2.9.
For 65, 80, and 100 kW units, the drive to inverter board #3 is disabled by a relay on the power mode
select board during low power operation. Refer to 7.2.9 for details.

Refer to MD-0759, sheet 3:


The HT tank has similar anode and cathode sections. The cathode and anode sections each have their
own high voltage transformer and high voltage multiplier board. The anode section generates the anode
voltage, 0 to 75 kV, and the cathode section generates the cathode voltage, 0 to -75 kV. The anode and
cathode sections contain voltage dividers that supply kV anode and cathode feedback voltages. The kV
feedback from the HT tank is brought to J9 on the control board as described earlier in this section.
The HT tank is not field-repairable. Defective HT tanks must be exchanged with equivalent units.

7.2.6 Filament drive and mA control (MD-0760)

Refer to MD-0760, sheet 1:


When the CPU receives a prep request, D/A converter U18 or U22 on the generator CPU board will
output the filament reference voltage (1 volt = 1 amp of filament current). For units with two filament
supplies, U18 outputs the small filament drive and U22 outputs the large filament drive. For units with a
single filament board, U22 supplies the filament drive. The filament drives are buffered by U14D and
U14B, and then routed to the filament supply board via J3 and J10 of the generator CPU board.
The filament reference voltage is applied to U1B on the filament supply board. The output of U1B is
summed with the output of current limit clamp U1A. The filament current limit is set at 5.5 or 6.5 amps via
JW1.

7.2.6 Filament drive and mA control (Cont)

The filament reference voltage may be measured at the cathode of D6 on the filament board (at the
output of U1B). Attempting to measure the filament reference at the input to U1B will provide erroneous
results.
The filament reference voltage is then summed with the filament feedback voltage at the input of error
amplifier U4B. When the filament reference is greater than the feedback, the output of U4B rises, causing
the pulse width at the output of U3 to increase.
The filament supply blocks are shown in very limited detail on sheet 1 of MD-0760. Refer to sheet 3 for a
more detailed functional diagram of the filament supply board.
PWM (pulse width modulator) U3 drives MOSFETS Q6, Q7, Q12, and Q13, which form a full bridge
inverter. The MOSFETS convert the + and - 35 V supplies to high frequency AC to drive the primary of
the filament transformers at the filament switching frequency, approximately 40 kHz, via C22, the primary
of T1, J4 / J8 / K1, J5 on the filament supply board, and J4 on the tank lid board.
The output of filament current sense transformer T1 on the filament supply board is rectified by D12, D13,
D27, and D28, and fed to the RMS converter circuit consisting of U7 and associated components. The
output of the RMS converter drives U4A, which is a variable gain amplifier. The filament current feedback
is calibrated such that 1 volt = 1 amp of filament current. The calibrated filament feedback voltage
(representing actual filament current) appears at the input of buffer U2B and at the summing input of error
amplifier U4B as previously described.
The output of U2B is brought to J2-2 or J2-4 on the filament supply board, depending on configuration.
This filament current feedback signal is then fed to the CPU as shown on sheet 2 and 3.
The filament feedback signal from the output of U2B is compared with a 1.7 volt reference by U2A. The
output of U2A will swing low if the filament current drops below approximately 1.7 amps, indicating a
filament fault. This will turn off Q1 on the filament supply board, taking J2-10 on the filament board and
J3-10 on the control board high. The FILAMENT FAULT signal is taken to one of the inputs on the
“GENERATOR READY” detector and logic “OR / NOR” circuits described in 7.2.4, where a fault will
inhibit inverter drive by removing the generator-ready and drive enable signals. A filament fault condition
will also turn off Q15 on the control board, turning off opto coupler U7 on the generator CPU board. The
output of U7 drives filament fault status LEDs DS13 /DS14 and the input of U24, which is monitored by
the generator CPU.
The HIGH KV / INVERTER FAULT and the HIGH MA FAULT signals from MD-0759 and MD-0760
respectively are OR’ed together, and designated as the HV / MA FAULT signal. This is fed to the base of
Q14 on the control board, and will be high for a fault. During a HV / mA fault, Q14 will be turned off,
turning off opto coupler U8 on the generator CPU board. The output of U8 is monitored by the CPU via
U24. U8 also drives DS11 / DS12, with DS12 being lit for a HV / mA fault condition.
For generators with a single filament board, U27 on the generator CPU board outputs the large / small
filament select command. The output of U27 will be low for large focus, lighting DS24. U19 and U16
invert the large / small focus signal and drive U1 on the control board. The output of U1 will be low for
large focus, causing the large / small select line, J3-11 on the control board, to be pulled high by the
comparator circuit consisting of U11C, Q2 etc. This de-energizes K1 on the filament board, selecting
large focus.
The logic high signal at J3-11 drives the base of Q3 on the control board, holding Q3 off when large focus
is selected. Q3 drives opto coupler U10 on the generator CPU board, turning off U10 for large focus. The
output of U10 is monitored by the CPU via U24.

7.2.6 Filament drive and mA control (Cont)

Refer to MD-0760, sheet 2:


The filament drive from page 1 is applied to the secondaries of the filament transformers, which provide
high voltage isolation and drive the X-ray tube filaments via the HV cathode board and the cathode high
voltage connector as shown.
When an exposure is being made, X-ray tube current flows through series resistors on the HV anode and
cathode boards. The voltage developed across these resistors, which is proportional to the X-ray tube
current, is taken to J9 of the control board. Transient protectors on the high voltage boards clamp the
voltage across the series resistors during high voltage arcs.
The “ground” side of the high voltage boards in the HT tank is connected to the mA test jacks E17 / E18
on the tank lid board. Transient protectors on the tank lid board clamp the voltage across the mA
measuring device during high voltage arcs, and prevent the voltage at E17 and E18 from rising above
approximately 15 volts if the mA test jack shorting strap is removed.
The anode mA feedback that appears at J9-1 and J9-2 of the generator control board is scaled
approximately 0.4 volts = 100 mA of anode current, and is applied to the input of differential amplifier
U6B. The output of U6B is taken to the anode over current detector, whose output is applied to the high
anode current latch and inverter circuit. The output of U33C will be low for a high anode current condition.
This will light D72 and pull the input of U33E low via D65, forcing the output of U33E high. The output of
U33E is one of the inputs to the “GENERATOR READY” detector and logic “OR / NOR” circuits described
in 7.2.4. An over current condition will immediately remove the generator-ready and drive enable signals,
preventing possible damage due to the over-current condition.
The ANODE OVERVOLTAGE signal from MD-0759 is also fed into the anode over current detector
circuit. Therefore, an anode over voltage condition will disable the inverter gate drive as described above.
The output of U6B is also applied to the input of U9 and U30B. U30B provides a scaled mA feedback
voltage, calibrated by R216, such that 1 volt = 100 mA at the output of U30B. The output of U30B is fed to
the generator CPU board as shown on sheet 3.
U9 is a high gain amplifier, and provides a scaled mA feedback voltage 1 volt = 2.5 mA. R212 calibrates
the mA feedback, and R213 provides offset voltage adjustment. The output of U9 is fed to the generator
CPU board as shown on sheet 3.
The cathode mA feedback at J9-4 and J9-3 of the generator control board is used for cathode over-
current detection only. The cathode mA feedback is applied to the input of differential amplifier U6A. The
output of U6A is taken to the cathode over current detector, whose output is applied to the high cathode
current latch and inverter circuit. The output of U33B will be low for a high cathode current condition. This
will light D71 and pull the input of U33E low via D64, inhibiting the inverter drive as described above for
an anode over voltage fault.
The CATHODE OVERVOLTAGE signal from MD-0759 is also fed into the cathode over current detector
circuit. Therefore, a cathode over voltage condition will disable the inverter gate drive as described
above.
The high anode and high cathode current fault latches are reset by the RESET command, which
originates on MD-0761.
The large and small filament current feedback signals from page 1 are brought to J3 on the control board,
and then routed to J2 and J1 on the control board. From there, these signals are taken to the generator
CPU board as shown on sheet 3.

Refer to MD-0760, sheet 3:


The large and small filament current feedback signals from page 2 are fed to differential amplifiers U30A
and U30B respectively on the generator CPU board. The CPU monitors the outputs of U30A and U30B
via A/D converter U37.
The Rad mA feedback voltage (1 volt = 100 mA) is applied to U15C on the generator CPU board, and the
fluoro mA feedback signal (1 volt = 2.5 mA) is applied to U23A. The outputs of U15C and U23A are fed to
A/D converter U37, which supplies the mA feedback values to the CPU. The CPU uses the Rad and
fluoro mA feedback information to regulate the X-ray tube mA and to perform mA monitoring functions
during exposures.
The figure on the right of sheet 3 is an expanded functional schematic of the Indico 100 filament supplies,
showing more detail than the figures on page 1.

7.2.7 Low speed starter (MD-0764)

Refer to MD-0764, sheet 1:


The 120 / 240 VAC and the 52 / 73 / 94 VAC supplies originate on MD-0788. The boost voltage (120 or
240 VAC) and the run-voltage (52, 73, or 94 VAC) is supplied by the power supply auxiliary transformer
T1. These voltages must be properly selected via taps on T1 as described in chapter 2 of the service
manual.
When the CPU receives a prep request, the ENABLE command is generated as described in 7.2.4. This
command originates on the control board, and is brought to the cathode of D17 on the auxiliary board.
This is OR’ed with the TUBE 1 / TUBE 2 MISMATCH & THERMOSTAT OPEN and 12 VDC / SOFT
START FAULT signal in the base circuit of Q15. If all three of these lines are high, i.e. if the ENABLE
command is present and no tube 1 / tube 2 mismatch & thermostat open or 12 VDC / soft start faults
exist, the base of Q15 will be pulled high, turning on Q15. This will energize K1 on the low speed starter
board. K1 is a protection relay that is closed during normal operation, and open-circuits the stator drive if
any of the above faults are present.
Also when a prep request is made, the PREP command will be applied to the boost and run logic circuit
on the auxiliary board. This will pull J4-11 on the control board low, energizing U2 on the low speed
starter board, initiating the boost cycle. The boost duration is 1.5 seconds or 2.5 seconds, and is
determined by the setting of JW1 on the auxiliary board.
At the completion of the boost cycle, the boost and run logic circuit will pull J4-11 high, turning U2 on the
low speed starter off. Approximately 100 milliseconds after U2 turns off, J4-12 will be pulled low, turning
on U1 on the low speed starter board, initiating the rotor-run cycle.
Q2 and Q1 are triacs that are triggered on the zero crossing points of the AC waveform when U2 or U1 is
energized. These act as low resistance switches when triggered, with Q2 switching the stator boost
voltage, and Q1 switching the stator run-voltage. The output of the triacs is OR’ed together; therefore
their common output will carry the boost voltage or run-voltage, depending on which triac is energized.
The COMMON line (AC return), connects to the “common” terminal on the stator terminal blocks via K1.
The boost / run voltages that are controlled by Q2 and Q1 are brought to protection relay K1, and then
applied to the main winding via K3 and K4, and to the shift winding via K2, shift capacitor C3, and K4.
K4 switches the main and shift currents to tube 1 or tube 2. The TUBE SELECT signal that drives K4 is
described in 7.2.2. K3 and K2 are current sense relays that are energized when the stator current is
above preset limits. With K3 and K2 closed, Q3 on the auxiliary board is supplied with base current. This
will turn on Q3, turning on Q18 on the control board.

7.2.7 Low speed starter (Cont)

The STATOR FAULT line (J6-10) on the control board will be low if there is no stator fault, and high for a
fault. This is one of the inputs to the “GENERATOR READY” detector and logic “OR / NOR” circuits
described in 7.2.4. A stator fault condition will immediately remove the generator-ready and drive enable
signals, inhibiting kV output. When the CPU detects a stator fault condition (via the circuits depicted on
sheet 2), the kV enable and prep signals are immediately removed, opening relay K1 on the low speed
starter board.

Refer to MD-0764, sheet 2:


When Q18 on the control board is turned on as described on sheet 1, indicating no stator fault, U5 on the
generator CPU board will be turned on. The CPU monitors the output of U5 via U24, and DS20 / DS21
indicate the stator fault status (DS20 indicates no stator fault, and DS21 indicates a stator fault).

7.2.8 Dual speed starter (MD-0765)

Refer to MD-0765, sheet 1:


The CPU will determine whether the pending exposure should be made at low speed or high-speed
operation. Based on this determination, the CPU will output the high speed / low speed command via U27
on the generator CPU board. The output of U27 drives DS8 and DS7 on the generator CPU board, and
energizes U12 on the dual speed starter board via U19 and U16. The dual speed starter CPU monitors
the output of U12, and sets low or high-speed operation based on the state of U12.
The CONTACTOR CLOSED signal that originates on the auxiliary board and closes the main contactor
K5, is also brought to the emitter of Q7 on the control board via R94. This signal is low when the
contactor is closed, turning on U13 on the dual speed starter board if the prep command is present.
The PREP COMMAND is brought to the cathode of D47 on the control board. This is low when prep is
not requested, turning on Q7. With Q7 on, the cathode of U13 on the dual speed starter will be held high,
keeping U13 off. During prep, the prep command will be high. This turns off Q7, allowing U13 to turn on.
The dual speed starter CPU monitors the output of U13, and starts the boost cycle when the output of this
opto coupler is low.
The TUBE 1 / TUBE 2 select signal from MD-0788 is applied to J4-16 of the control board. This will be
low when tube 2 has been selected, energizing U14 on the dual speed starter board. The dual speed
starter CPU monitors the output of U14, and selects tube 1 or tube 2 based on the state of U14. K1 on
the dual speed starter board will close to select tube 1, and K2 will close to select tube 2, all at the start of
prep. K4 is energized only when K1 or K2 is energized, thus isolating the high voltage from the stator
terminals at all times except during normal operation of the dual speed starter.
The dual speed starter contains an inverter (Q1 to Q4) that produces the required stator current at 50, 60,
150, or 180 Hz by precisely switching the 560 / 650 volt DC bus. The dual speed starter CPU controls the
switching of the inverter via the driver circuit consisting of U1-U10 and T1-T4, etc. The setting of DIP
switches SW1 and SW2 determines all stator drive parameters (boost voltage and boost time, run
voltage, brake voltage and brake time, etc).
The modulated output from the inverter is applied to the common stator terminal via one leg of the
inverter. The shift and main currents are taken from the other leg of the inverter via K5 and K6. K1-A and
K2-A switch the main current, and K1-A and K1-B switch the shift current.
K3 is open for high-speed operation. Therefore, only the high-speed phase shift capacitor will be in the
circuit. K3 will close for low-speed operation, connecting the low-speed phase shift capacitor in parallel
with the high-speed phase shift capacitor.

7 Theory of Operation CPI Canada Inc

7.2.8 Dual speed starter (Cont)

The contacts of current sense relays K5 and K6 will be closed when the stator current is above preset
limits. With K5 and K6 closed, Q5 on the dual speed starter board is supplied with base current. This will
turn on Q5, whose output is monitored by the dual speed starter CPU. If a stator fault is detected, the
CPU will output a high at J1-10 on the dual speed starter board. This signal is fed to the “GENERATOR
READY” detector and logic “OR / NOR” circuits described in 7.2.4. A fault condition will immediately
remove the generator-ready and drive enable signals, inhibiting kV output. Also, the dual speed starter
CPU will open K1 or K2 and K4 on the dual speed starter board, removing the stator drive.
The stator fault signal is also applied to the base of Q18 on the control board. The base of Q18 will be low
if there is no stator fault, turning on Q18. This will turn on U5 on the generator CPU board. The generator
CPU monitors the output of U5 via U24, and DS20 / DS21 indicate the stator fault status.

7.2.9 Rad / fluoro and power mode select (MD-0786)

The circuits shown on MD-0786 control the Rad / fluoro contactor on the resonant board, and the relay on
the power mode select board, both described in 7.2.5.
The Rad / fluoro select signal from J1-5 of MD-0788 is applied to the base of Q5 on the auxiliary board
via R79. This is high for Rad / pulsed fluoro mode, and low for continuous fluoro mode. When in Rad /
pulsed fluoro mode, Q5 will be turned on, lighting D36 and energizing K1 on the resonant board. K1
shorts out the fluoro inductor as described in 7.2.5. In continuous fluoro mode, Q5 is off, de-energizing
K1.
Inverter # 3 on 65, 80, and 100 kW generators is disabled during low power operation (pulsed fluoro,
continuous fluoro, or low power Rad exposures). This is accomplished as described below.
When in continuous fluoro mode, and the collector of Q5 is high, the base of Q4 will be pulled high via
D38. This will turn on Q4, energizing K1 on the power mode select board. This removes gate drive from
inverter #3.
The low / high power select signal from J1-3 of MD-0788 is applied to the base of Q4 on the auxiliary
board via D44. This is low for high power Rad exposures, and high for pulsed fluoro / low power Rad
operation. Q4 will be turned on during pulsed fluoro / low power operation, energizing K1 on the power
mode select board, removing gate drive from inverter #3.

7.2.10 Interlocks & tube 1 / tube 2 tellback (MD-0787)

For R&F generators, JW4 on the auxiliary board is jumpered in the ON position, and a thermal switch is
mounted on the inverter heat sink. This switch will open if an inverter over temperature is detected. This
pulls J2-4 on the auxiliary board high, turning on Q10 and lighting D42. With J2-10 pulled high, Q8 is
turned on via D26 and R7. The output of Q8, low for a fault, holds the base of Q15 on the auxiliary board
low as described in 7.2.7. The output of Q8 is also OR’ed with the kV ENABLE signal on MD-0761,
inhibiting the prep and X-ray functions when the output of Q8 is low.
The tube 1 / tube 2 tellback portion of MD-0787 ensures that the actual tube selection matches the
requested tube selection. Logic circuits compare the tube 1 / tube 2 request signal to the feedback from a
contact closure in the HT tank.
The TUBE 1 / TUBE 2 SELECT command from MD-0788 is low when tube 2 is selected, and high for
tube 1. This is applied to one input of the tube 1 / tube 2 tellback logic circuit. The output of U7 is
connected to the other input of this logic circuit.

7.2.10 Interlocks & tube 1 / tube 2 tellback (Cont)

When the tank is in the tube 1 position, U7 and U8 on the auxiliary board are off, and the collector of U7
will be high. In the tube 2 position, U7 and U8 are turned on, and the collector of U7 will be low. If a
mismatch is detected, the base of Q8 is pulled high, turning Q8 on. With Q8 turned on, Q15 on the
auxiliary board will be turned off, and the prep command will be inhibited as described above.
When U8 on the auxiliary board is on (tube 2 position), U3 on the generator CPU board will be turned on.
The output of U3 and the TUBE 1 / TUBE 2 SELECT signal are connected to U35 on the generator CPU
board. U35 decodes the binary inputs, and lights DS5 or DS6 as appropriate.

7.2.11 AEC (MD-0757)

Refer to MD-0757, sheet 1:


This shows the circuits on the generator interface board that connect to the A2EC2 detector, and the
circuits between the generator CPU and the AEC board. Eight lines supply the AEC chamber select
signals, the field select signals, and the start signal to the AEC board via U25 / U23 and driver U33 on the
generator interface board. The AEC start signal is also connected to the base of Q7 on the generator
interface board, where it turns Q7 on when the start signal is present, taking J14-3 high.
The AEC ramp (PT RAMP) from the AEC board is buffered by U23C on the generator CPU board, and
fed to A/D converter U37 such that it can be monitored by the CPU.
D/A converter U18 on the generator CPU board generates the AEC reference voltage. This is buffered by
U14C, and fed to the AEC board via J10-10 on the generator interface board. The magnitude of the AEC
reference voltage is determined by the CPU, and will be a value between 0 and 10 volts. The AEC
reference is also taken to the A2EC2 detector via J14-1.
The AEC board generates the PT stop signal when the magnitude of the AEC ramp is equal to the AEC
reference voltage. This signal will switch low when the exposure is to be terminated. An active PT stop
signal will pull the base of Q5 low, turning Q5 off, thus turning Q6 on. The output of Q6 is connected to
one of the interrupt inputs on the CPU via U45C on the generator CPU board, where it will terminate the
AEC exposure immediately when the interrupt is received.

Refer to MD-0757, sheet 2:


The A2EC2 system, in conjunction with GenWare®, establishes AEC calibration curves by using a pair of
photo diode detectors to measure the light output from the cassette screens. When A2EC2 calibration is
about to be performed, and the exposure starts, the opto coupler that is connected to J2-3 / J2-4 on the
A2EC2 detector circuit is energized. This releases the short on the integrating capacitor, which is part of
the integrator circuit, via the analog switch. The integrator will then generate a ramp whose slope is
proportional to the light sensed by the photo diode detectors.
The integrator output is amplified and compared to the AEC reference voltage. The output of the
comparator circuit drives U46 on the generator interface board when S1 is closed. The output of U46 will
be low when the magnitude of the ramp at the comparator input is equal to the AEC reference voltage.
This will terminate the exposure by generating an interrupt at the CPU as described for the PT stop signal
on the previous page.
The A2EC2 detector assembly includes on-board +/-8 VDC regulators.

7.2.11 AEC (Cont)

Refer to MD-0757, sheet 3:


This page shows the functional schematic of the AEC board used with solid-state AEC chambers. The
signal from the AEC chamber is applied between the common anode and the cathode inputs of J1/J11,
J2/J12, J3/J13, and / or J4/J14. The AEC board will either be fitted with 5 pin in-line connectors, or
circular style connectors, depending on the application. U11A, U11B, U1A, and U1B are extremely high
gain preamplifiers that convert the current output from the AEC diodes (several hundred pico amps,
typically) to a useable voltage.
The output of each preamplifier is connected to the AEC gain adjustment potentiometers, R1 to R4, used
for AEC calibration. The AEC signal is then taken to the input of analog switches U6A to U6D.
The chamber-select signals exit on the generator interface board as per sheet 1. Only one chamber may
be active at one time, and the active channel is indicated by DS1 to DS4 on the AEC board. The
chamber-select signals are inverted by U2A to U2D; and then connected to the control inputs of analog
switches U6A to U6D. The analog switch corresponding to the selected AEC input channel will be closed
when that channel is selected, thus connecting the preamplifier for the active channel to gain stage U9B.
The field select signals from the generator interface board are also active-low. An active field select signal
will pull the base of Q1, Q2, or Q3 low. This will turn on that transistor, supplying +12 V at the field select
lines connected to D30, D18, or D19. More than one field may be active at one time.
The field select signals are connected to the control inputs of analog switches at the inputs of U11A,
U11B, U1A, and U1B. This will switch the selected combination of AEC inputs (L, M, R) to the summing
node of each preamplifier. The voltage output of the preamplifiers will be proportional to the number of
fields selected, i.e. the preamplifier output when 3 fields are selected will be 3 times that with a single field
selected.
The field select signals are also connected to three analog switches in the feedback loop of U9B. One of
these switches will be closed for each AEC field that is selected. With one field selected, the gain of this
stage will be maximum; with three fields selected the gain of this stage will be divided by three. The
variable gain of U9B, which depends on the number of fields selected, compensates for the variable
voltage output of the preamplifiers as described in the previous paragraph, thus keeping the signal output
from U9B constant relative to the number of fields that are selected. The output of U9B drives the input of
difference amplifier U10B, which subtracts the sample and hold voltage from the input voltage as
described in the next paragraph.
The start signal also exits from the generator interface board. This signal, when active, will cause DS5 on
the AEC board to light. The start signal is buffered and inverted by U2F and U2E, and will be logic low at
the output of U2E when the start signal is active. This opens the analog switch that is part of the sample
and hold circuit at the input of U10B, and also opens analog switch U12 during an AEC exposure. These
analog switches are closed at all other times. The sample and hold circuit will sample any electrical noise
at the output of U9B during standby operation, and subtract this noise from the AEC signal during an AEC
exposure. This ensures that the output of U10B is proportional to the AEC chamber output current only,
and is not influenced by noise.
The output of 10B drives integrating amplifier U10A. Analog switch U12 opens when an AEC exposure
starts, allowing C37 to start integrating the AEC voltage. This will produce a ramp whose slope is
proportional to the input voltage at U10A.
The AEC ramp is taken to the generator interface board where it is processed as described earlier in this
section, and also fed to comparator U13 on the AEC board where it is compared to the AEC reference
voltage. The output of U13 is normally high, switching low when the magnitude of the AEC ramp equals
the reference voltage. This PT stop signal is further processed on the generator interface board.

Refer to MD-0757, sheet 4:


This is the functional schematic of the AEC board used with ionization type AEC chambers. The AEC
chambers are connected to J1/J11, J2/J12, J3/J13, and / or J4/J14. The AEC board will either be fitted
with 12 pin in-line connectors, or 9 pin ‘D’ connectors, depending on the application. The AEC signal from
the AEC chamber(s) is routed to the input of analog switches S1A to S1D on the AEC board. These
analog switches are controlled by the chamber-select signals.
The chamber-select signals exit on the generator interface board as per sheet 1. Only one chamber may
be active at one time, and the active channel is indicated by DS1 to DS4 on the AEC board. The
chamber-select signals are inverted by U3B, U3C, U3D, and U3F; and connected to the control inputs of
the analog switches described in the previous paragraph. The analog switch corresponding to the
selected AEC input channel will be closed when that channel is selected, thus connecting the AEC signal
to preamplifier U1A, which provides voltage gain. The input of U1A will be configured such that U1A is a
non-inverting amplifier for use with AEC chambers that have a positive going output, and as an inverting
amplifier for use with chambers with a negative voltage output.
The start signal also exits from the generator interface board. This signal, when active, will cause DS5 on
the AEC board to be lit. The start signal is buffered and inverted by U3E and U3A, and will be logic low at
the output of U3A when the start signal is active. This opens the analog switch that is part of the sample
and hold circuit at the input of U2A during an AEC exposure. This analog switch is closed at all other
times. The sample and hold circuit will sample any electrical noise at the output of U1A during standby
operation, and subtract this noise from the AEC signal during an AEC exposure. This ensures that the
output of U2A is proportional to the AEC chamber output voltage only, and is not influenced by noise.
The output of U2A connects to the common inputs of analog switches S2A to S2D. These analog
switches are controlled by the chamber-select signal, and the switch corresponding to the active channel
will be closed. This connects the output of U2A to the AEC gain adjustment potentiometer R1 to R4
corresponding to the active channel. The AEC signal, which will be either a ramp or a DC voltage
depending on AEC chamber type, is now fed to the input of U2B. This will be factory configured as an
integrating amplifier by connecting C4 into the circuit for use with AEC chambers that output a DC output
voltage, or U2B will be configured as a linear amplifier by connecting R32 into the circuit for use with AEC
chambers that provide a ramp voltage. The start signal also connects to analog switch S4. This switch
opens when an AEC exposure starts, allowing U2B to start integrating or amplifying the AEC signal.
The output of U2B will be a positive going ramp regardless of the AEC chamber type in use. This ramp
voltage is processed by U4A and U4B, and also fed to the short AEC exposure time compensation circuit
consisting of R11 to R14, S3A to S3D, R53 and C11. Analog switches S3A to S3D are controlled by the
chamber-select signal. The switch corresponding to the active channel will be closed, connecting the
phase-lead network C11 / R53 to the wiper of the AEC short-time adjustment potentiometer. This circuit is
disabled when the wipers of R11 to R14 are at the ground end of the potentiometers, and maximum
short-time compensation is provided when the wipers are set to the end of the potentiometers connected
to U2B.
The AEC ramp from U4B is taken to the generator interface board where it is processed as described
earlier in this section, and also fed to comparator U6 on the AEC board where it is compared to the AEC
reference voltage. The output of U6 is normally high, switching low when the magnitude of the AEC ramp
equals the reference voltage. This PT stop signal is further processed on the generator interface board.
The START, and LEFT, MIDDLE, and RIGHT field select signals are brought to the AEC chambers via
J1/J11, J2/J12, J3/J13, and J4/J14. The AEC board will be factory configured to directly output the active
low signal from the generator interface board to the AEC chamber if required, or to output +12 V or +24 V
if the chamber requires active high signals. For AEC chambers that require active high outputs, the start,
left, middle, or right field select signal is taken from the collector of Q1 to Q4, respectively. The active low
signals from the generator control board turn on Q1 to Q4, outputting either +12 V or +24V (depending on
factory configuration) at the collector when active.

Jumpers JW1 to JW8 swap the left and right fields on J11 to J14. Jumpering pins 2-3 of the field selector
jumpers (JW7 / JW8 for channel 1, JW5 / JW6 for channel 2, JW3 / JW4 for channel 3, JW1 / JW2 for
channel 4) connects the right field select signal to pin 6 and the left field select signal to pin 2. Jumpering
pins 1-2 of the field selector jumpers connects the right field select signal to pin 2 and the left field select
signal to pin 6.

The AEC board also contains a DC to DC converter that produces +45 V, + or - 300 V, and +500 VDC.
The converter circuit consists of U7, T1, output voltage adjustment potentiometer R79, and associated
components. The +45 V output is hard wired to all of the AEC chamber connectors, and + or - 300 V is
permanently connected to J1 to J4. Additionally, the AEC board will be factory configured to supply either
+ or - 300 V or +500 V to J11 to J13, and to pin 1 on J1 to J4 (in addition to the + or - 300 V fixed output
at pin 2).

Refer to MD-0757, sheet 5:


Refer to schematics 734628 and 728401 for the universal AEC board. Schematic 728401 shows the DC
to DC converter (U3 and associated components) that produces +50, +300 and +500 VDC for use with
ion chambers, and up to -1000 VDC for photo multiplier tubes. R10 adjusts the high voltage output when
ABS operation is selected. R24 adjusts the high voltage output when AEC channel 1, 2, or 3 is selected.
R19 adjusts the high voltage output when AEC channel 4 is selected. Refer to chapter 3D, the section
Universal AEC Board With Short AEC Time Compensation for further details.
The AEC chambers are connected to J1 to J4, and the high voltage for the PMT is taken from J7 on the
AEC interface board. J6 interconnects the signals between the AEC board and connectors J1 to J4 on
the AEC interface board.
Schematic 734628, sheet 1, shows the amplifier and control portion of the AEC circuits. These boards are
factory configured via jumpers JW2, JW3, and JW5-74 such that the AEC board is compatible with the
AEC chamber types that were specified at the time of the generator order. The individual AEC channels
are selected under software control, with the switching being done via analog switches on the AEC board.
R1 to R4 are the AEC gain potentiometers, and R91 to R94 are used for short time compensation.
Schematic 734628, sheet 2, shows the switching circuits for the start and field select signals. This also
shows the analog switches that switch the inputs from solid-state AEC chambers.
Schematic 734628, sheets 3 to 5 show the required jumper positions and circuit modifications needed for
compatibility with various AEC chambers. It is not recommended that the universal AEC board be field
reconfigured.

7.2.12 ABS (MD-0758)

The composite video signal is fed into J8 on the generator interface board, and proportional DC is applied
to J7. The jumpers (designated JW__) select the input source, input polarity, gain, etc. Refer to chapter
3E for the required positions for these jumpers.
Composite video applied to J8 is amplified by U17D and applied to gain stages U17A and U17B.
Generators with the conventional fluoro option are fitted with analog gain potentiometer R48, and units
with the pulsed fluoro option use digital pot U49.
The processed ABS signal exits the generator interface board at J11-3, and is buffered by U23D on the
generator CPU board. The ABS signal is then fed to the sample and hold circuit, which smoothes out the
ABS feedback signal during pulsed fluoro operation. The CPU monitors the output of the sample and hold
circuit via A/D converter U37, and uses this information to maintain constant image brightness by
regulating the fluoro kV and / or mA.

7.2.12 ABS (Cont)

The output of the PMT at J7-12 of the generator interface board is split by R118 and fed to J7-10 such
that the PMT output is also available for AEC control. This is applicable if a PMT is to be used for AEC
control on AEC channel 4. Refer to chapter 3D, the section AEC USING A PMT for further details.

7.2.13 Remote fluoro control (MD-0766)

The remote fluoro control communicates with the generator via an RS-232 protocol. Serial
communication is handled by U20 and U11 on the generator CPU board, and U7 on the remote fluoro
control board. DS15 on the generator CPU board will flash to indicate that the generator is sending data
to the remote fluoro control, and DS19 will flash to indicate that the remote fluoro control is sending data
back to the generator.
The micro controller on the remote fluoro control board handles all remote fluoro functions. It decodes
serial data from the generator and decodes inputs from the remote fluoro keyboard assembly. The micro
controller drives the speaker on the remote fluoro control board, transmits data to the data latches on the
remote fluoro display board in order to drive the desired LEDs, and sends data to the generator in order
to set up the requested fluoro parameters.

7.2.14 Digital interface (MD-0767)

Refer to MD-0767, sheet 1:


This page shows the interface circuits between the generator CPU and the digital I/O board. Included are
eight data and address lines, and four control lines for the data and address bus.
The HV ON signal that originates on the generator CPU board is described in 7.2.5, and is routed to the
digital I/O board as shown.
The EXPOSURE ENABLE command is generated by some imaging systems, and is OR’ed with the
output of U22 on the generator interface board as shown in MD-0761. When this line is pulled low, U46
on the generator CPU board is energized, enabling an X-ray exposure as described in 7.2.4.
Some imaging systems generate a “DIGITAL IMAGING” ABS signal. This is fed into the input of U17B
on the generator interface board when JW21 is in the appropriate position to select that ABS signal
source. Refer to 7.2.12 for details.
A sync signal that synchronizes the start of exposures is fed to the CPU via U51, U45A / U45B, and U28
on the generator CPU board. Depending on the position of JW22 on the generator interface board, the
sync signal will be either 50 / 60 Hz line frequency pulses from the zero crossing circuit U40 on MD-0788,
or these may be sync pulses supplied by the digital imaging system. DS40 on the generator CPU board
will light when sync pulses are present.
This document does not detail the imaging system pin-outs. Refer to the imaging system documentation
and the appropriate CPI digital imaging supplement for this information.

Refer to MD-0767, sheet 2:


This is the functional schematic of digital I/O board assembly 733752. The address decoder circuits
decode the address and data bus. U4 latches the output data, and driver U6 provides the required current
gain to drive the output devices. The emitter of U10 is taken low when the generator is ready to make an
exposure, and the imaging system will request an exposure by taking the cathode of U10 low. This
results in the collector of U10 being pulled low when the generator is ready and the imaging system
requests an exposure. The output of U10 is the EXPOSURE ENABLE command, described on sheet 1.
DS4 and DS6 to DS10 indicate the status of the outputs.

Multiplexer U7 selects one of two ABS feedback signals, these are designated as the “DIGITAL
IMAGING” ABS signal, and fed back to the generator interface board as shown on sheet 1.
The digital outputs from the imaging system (inputs to the digital I/O board) are connected to U11 to U13.
When active, these opto couplers will light DS3 to DS1 respectively, and pull the inputs of U8 low. The
output of U8 is read by the generator CPU via the address decoder circuits on the digital I/O board.
The HV ON signal is applied directly to U6, which drives DS4 (EXON) and the corresponding input on the
imaging system.
U14 and U16 provide isolation for the corresponding outputs on the digital I/O board.
SW1 must be set as defined in the digital imaging supplement. This configures the software specifically to
be compatible with the imaging system in use.

Refer to MD-0767, sheet 3:


This is the functional schematic of digital I/O board assembly 733947. The address decoder circuits
decode the address and data bus. U13 and U14 latch the output data, and drivers U15 and U16 provide
the required current gain to drive the output devices. Q2 and Q3 provide level translation for these two
outputs (Q2 and Q3 source +24 VDC when active).
The HV ON signal is applied to Q1 via D3. This takes the collector of Q1 low when the high voltage is on.
Monostable timer U17 is triggered at the start of the HV ON signal, generating a 13 millisecond pulse.
This ensures that the high voltage remains on for a minimum of 13 milliseconds, while having no effect on
high voltage pulses longer than 13 milliseconds.
The digital outputs from the imaging system (inputs to the digital I/O board) are connected to U3 to U8.
When active, these opto couplers will pull the inputs of U12 low. The output of U12 is read by the
generator CPU via the address decoder circuits on the digital I/O board.
SW1 must be set as defined in the digital imaging supplement. This configures the software specifically to

Refer to MD-0767, sheet 4:


This is the functional schematic of digital I/O board assembly 735921. The circuits that interface with the
digital imaging system are the same as those on assembly 733947. These circuits are shown reduced in
size on sheet 4 (within the dashed outline), and full size on sheet 3.
Digital I/O board assembly 735921 is used with some imaging systems that have integrated generator
control functions. Such installations do not need a separate console to control and monitor the X-ray
exposure parameters, but require “X-ray mini consoles” with on / off and prep / X-ray controls, and prep
and X-ray exposure indicators.
Assembly 735921 includes the circuits described on sheet 3, plus data latch U18, driver U19, and
connectors J4 to J7. J4 on this board connects to the control console connector, J4, on the generator
interface board. The X-ray mini consoles connect to J6 and J7.
The on / off and prep and X-ray commands originate on the X-ray mini console as described on page 5.
These signals are then taken from J6 on the digital I/O board to J4 on the generator interface board.
These functions are as described in MD-0762 and MD-0761 when using the X-ray mini console.
U18 latches the data to drive the speakers and the prep / exposure indicators on the mini consoles, and
U19 provides the required current gain to drive these devices.
A version of this board exists without the digital imaging interface circuits that are shown within the
dashed outline. This board is used with some imaging systems that have integrated generator control
functions, and connect to the generator via a serial port instead of the digital I/O board.

This sheet shows the optional CPI “mini consoles”. These are typically used in installations where the
digital imaging system has integrated generator control functions. Such systems allow control and
monitoring of generator exposure parameters, but typically do not contain on / off and prep / X-ray
controls and indicators. The CPI mini consoles provide these control and monitoring functions in
installations requiring them.
The X-ray mini console connects to J6 on the digital I/O board. This includes on / off and prep / X-ray
controls as shown. These functions are routed to J4 on the generator interface board, and perform the on

to E1, E2, and E3 on the X-ray mini console board.
Power ON indicator DS4 is connected to J6-5 (ground), and lights whenever the generator is switched
on. The appropriate bit in U18 is latched high or low in order to turn on / turn off LS1, LS2 and DS1 to
DS3. Driver U19 provides current gain to drive these devices via J6-3, J6-4, and J6-6 to J6-8.
The optional mini console X-ray exposure indicator connects to J7 on the digital I/O board, and contains
prep and exposure indicators and two speakers. U19 drives DS1, DS2, and LS1, LS2 via J7-1, J7-4, J7-

This is the functional schematic of digital I/O board assembly 735406. The address decoder circuits
decode the address and data bus. U4 latches the output data, and driver U6 provides the required current
gain to drive U7, U10, and U16. U7 and U10 pull the associated inputs on the imaging system low when
active.
The emitter of U14 is taken low when the generator is ready to make an exposure, and the imaging
system will request an exposure by taking the anode of U14 high. This results in the collector of U14
being pulled low when the generator is ready and the imaging system requests an exposure, turning on
U16. The output of U16 is the EXPOSURE ENABLE command, described on sheet 1. The output of U15,
which will also be low when an exposure is requested, is monitored by generator CPU via U8 and the
address decoder circuits on the digital I/O board.
The digital outputs from the imaging system (inputs to the digital I/O board) are connected to U11 and
U13. When active, these opto couplers will pull the corresponding inputs of U8 low. The output of U8 is

This I/O board assembly includes an on-board +5 VDC regulator, U12, that connects to J2-21 and to the
anode of U11.

U11 provide the required current gain to drive the corresponding inputs on the imaging system. The
associated LEDs will light to indicate which outputs are active. U17 drives the base of Q1, which provides
level translation for that output (sources +24 VDC when active). U17 also energizes K1, and pulls the
emitters of U5, U7, U14, and U16 low when the generator is ready to make an exposure.
Signals from the table or imaging system will request an exposure by taking the anode of U4, U6, U13, or
U15 high. This will energize opto couplers U4 / U5, U6 / U7, U13 / U14, or U15 / U16 respectively. The

generators, use part number 732177-06, for pulsed fluoro generators use part number 732177-08.
Spares should be stocked accordingly.

2. This part is common to all models of Indico 100 generators.

3. Three different filament boards are used in Indico 100 generators. RAD only generators use ONE
filament board, part number 731407-00. R&F generators use TWO filament boards, part number
731407-01 (large focus) and part number 731407-02 (small focus). Spares should be stocked
accordingly.

4. The part number shown is the suggested replacement for the original auxiliary board. The spares board
is “jumper configurable” in the field and as such will replace the original auxiliary board. This is intended
to eliminate the need to stock multiple configurations of this board.

5. Three different inverter board part numbers are used in Indico 100 generators. For 230 VAC 1 phase
and 480 VAC 3 phase generators use part number 732813-00, for 400 VAC 3 phase 30 / 50 / 80 kW
generators use part number 732813-04, for 230 VAC 1 phase 37.5 kW and for 400 VAC 3 phase 37.5 /
65 kW generators use part number 732813-05 (see note 17 for the definition of mains input voltage). 30
and 37.5 kW generators require one inverter board, 50 and 65 kW generators require two inverter
boards, and 80 kW generators require three inverter boards. Spares should be stocked accordingly.

6. Two part numbers of power input boards are used for spares. For 1 phase 230 VAC generators use part
number 733798-01, for 3 phase 400 or 480 VAC generators use part number 732161-01.

7. Five different resonant boards are used in Indico 100 generators. Refer to the table below for the correct
part number for your generator.

O/P POWER (kW) & MAINS VOLTS RESONANT BOARD RESONANT BOARD
RAD POWER SUPPLIES R&F POWER SUPPLIES
30 kW (230 VAC 1φ, 400 / 480 VAC 3φ) 732808-00
37.5 / 40 kW (230 VAC 1φ, 400 VAC 3φ) 732808-05 732964-02
50 kW (400 VAC 3φ) 732808-01 732964-00

80 kW (400 VAC 3φ) 732964-01
80 kW (400 / 480 VAC 3φ) 732808-03

8. The AEC board for your generator was selected to be compatible with specific AEC device(s). To
maintain full compatibility, the original part number must be ordered as a replacement. Refer to chapter
9, section 9.2.0 for the part number of the original AEC board shipped in the generator for which this
manual was prepared.

9. THE CONSOLE DISPLAY BOARD IS ONLY USED WITH THE 23 X 56 CM CONSOLE. The console
display board is supplied pre-mounted to the console front panel switch assembly. Consult the factory
for the required spares part number for this assembly.

NOTE (Cont):

10. Remote fluoro control is an option; spares should be stocked accordingly.

11. These items only used on generators fitted with low speed starter, spares should be stocked
accordingly. The low speed starter part number with a 33µF phase shift capacitor for standard “R” type
stators is 732752-00. The part number with a 12.5µF phase shift capacitor is 732752-01, and the part
number with a 45µF phase shift capacitor is 732752-02.

12. These items only used on dual speed starter option, spares should be stocked accordingly. Several part
numbers of dual speed starter (which are tube stator dependent) are used in Indico 100 generators. To
determine which dual speed starter assembly is in your generator, note the DUAL SPEED STARTER
ASSY part number on a label on the dual speed starter chassis. This will be the part number that must
be ordered for spares usage. For reference, this will be part number 733317-XX or 735925-XX where
XX is a two digit number designating the exact configuration.
The dual speed starter fuses listed are used on all versions of dual speed starter.

13. These items are used on the 400/480 VAC 3 phase power input board. Spares should be stocked
accordingly.

14a. These items are used on 1 phase 230 VAC units only (on the DC bus assembly or on the 1 phase
power input board). Spares should be stocked accordingly.

14b. This fuse used on 1 phase 230 VAC rad two tube generators, and on 1 phase 230 VAC R & F one tube
and two tube generators. Spares should be stocked accordingly.

15. For replacement HT oil tank part numbers, consult factory.

16. NOTE REGARDING MAINS (LINE) VOLTAGE AS DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION: The mains
voltage referenced in this section is the mains voltage at the input to the generator (at the main fuses
on the power input board). This is not necessarily the same as the voltage at the main disconnect box in
the room, the reason being that an optional line adjusting transformer may be used with the generator
which steps the incoming line voltage to the generator up or down. To ensure that the correct part
number is selected for spares, it is suggested that the mains voltage be noted at the main input fuses
INSIDE THE GENERATOR.

17. The digital I/O board is optional, and used on generators intended to interface with digital imaging
systems. To ensure full compatibility, please order the same part number that is in your generator(s).

18. A cooling fan is used on R&F power supplies only. Spares should be stocked accordingly.

19. For 23 X 56 cm consoles, use LCD display assembly part number 733396-00. For 31 X 42 cm consoles,
use LCD display assembly part number 735895-00.

20. For 23 X 56 cm consoles, use hand switch assembly part number 733176-00. For 31 X 42 cm consoles,
use hand switch assembly part number 735203-00.

21. Single phase generators use fuse FNM-3, three phase generators use FNQ-2. Spares should be
stocked accordingly.

22. DAP is an option, spares should be stocked accordingly.

NOTE
REMARKS
REFERENCE
1 THIS VOLTAGE WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 0 VDC WHEN THE DC BUS CAPACITORS ARE NOT CHARGED. THIS WILL RISE TO APPROXIMATELY 6 VDC WHEN THE DC BUS CAPACITORS ARE FULLY CHARGED.
THE DC BUS CAPACITORS MUST CHARGE WITHIN APPROXIMATELY 0.25 SECONDS OF THE GENERATOR BEING SWITCHED ON. IF THE DC BUS CAPACITORS DO NOT CHARGE NORMALLY, THE SOFT START
2 OK PROTECTION CIRCUIT ENERGIZES RELAY K1 (SEE # 4) AND INHIBITS OPERATION OF THE SOFT START DRIVER CIRCUIT (SEE # 3).
“LOW” (APPROXIMATELY 0 VDC) COMMANDS THE MAIN CONTACTOR K5 ON THE POWER INPUT BOARD TO CLOSE. “HIGH” (APPROXIMATELY 12 VDC) = CONTACTOR OPEN. THIS OUPUT WILL NOT SWITCH
3
“LOW” IF THE DC BUS CAPACITORS ARE NOT CHARGED (SEE # 1 & 2).
K1 REMAINS DE-ENERGIZED (CONTACTS AS SHOWN) IF NO SOFT-START FAULT IS DETECTED. THEREFORE, K1 AND K2 ON THE POWER INPUT BOARD WILL ENERGIZE WHEN THE GENERATOR IS SWITCHED
4
ON. A SOFT-START FAULT ENERGIZES K1 ON THE AUXILIARY BOARD, DE-ENERGIZING K1 ON THE POWER INPUT BOARD. THIS WILL INHIBIT FURTHER DC BUS CHARGING.
5 “LOW” (APPROXIMATELY 0 VDC) = TUBE 2 SELECTED, “HIGH” (APPROXIMATELY 12 VDC) = TUBE 1 SELECTED.
“LOW” (APPROXIMATELY 0 VDC) = FLUORO FAN(S) ON, “HIGH” (APPROXIMATELY 12 VDC) = FLUORO FAN(S) OFF. FAN(S) ARE SWITCHED ON DURING PULSED OR CONTINUOUS FLUORO OPERATION, AND
6
REMAIN ON FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES AFTER SWITCHING TO RAD MODE.
7 “LOW” INDICATES CONTACTOR CLOSED (SEE # 3). THE CONTACTOR CLOSED SIGNAL OCCURS APPROXIMATELY 10 SECONDS AFTER INITIAL GENERATOR TURN-ON, ASSUMING NORMAL DC BUS CHARGING.
8 “HIGH” (APPROXIMATELY 12 VDC) = RAD / PULSED FLUORO MODE. “LOW” (APPROXIMATELY 0 VDC) = CONTINUOUS FLUORO MODE. USED ON R&F GENERATORS ONLY.
9 “HIGH” (APPROXIMATELY 12 VDC) = PULSED FLUORO / LOW POWER MODE. “LOW” (APPROXIMATELY 0 VDC) = HIGH POWER RAD MODE. NOT USED ON ALL MODELS, REFER TO MD-0786 FOR DETAILS.
10 24 VDC (APPROXIMATELY) ENERGIZES K1 AND / OR K2 ON THE POWER INPUT BOARD, INITIATING THE POWER-ON SEQUENCE. SEE # 4.
11 “HIGH” (APPROXIMATELY 5 VDC) = TUBE 2 SELECTED. “LOW” (APPROXIMATELY 0 VDC) = TUBE 1 SELECTED.
12 “HIGH” (APPROXIMATELY 5 VDC) = RAD / PULSED FLUORO MODE. “LOW” (APPROXIMATELY 0 VDC) = CONTINUOUS FLUORO MODE. USED ON R&F GENERATORS ONLY.
13 “HIGH” (APPROXIMATELY 5 VDC) = PULSED FLUORO / LOW POWER MODE. “LOW” (APPROXIMATELY 0 VDC) = HIGH POWER RAD MODE. NOT USED ON ALL MODELS, REFER TO MD-0786 FOR DETAILS.
14 DS9 LIT = CONTACTOR CLOSED, DS10 LIT = CONTACTOR NOT CLOSED.
15 DS34 LIT = GENERATOR ON COMMAND ISSUED (CONSOLE PASSED ALL SELF TESTS). DS35 LIT = GENERATOR ON COMMAND NOT ISSUED (DURING CONSOLE SELF TESTS, OR IF SELF TESTS FAILED).
16 DS22 LIT = FLUORO SELECTED, DS23 LIT = RAD SELECTED.
17 DS2 LIT = PULSED FLUORO / LOW POWER MODE. DS4 LIT = HIGH POWER RAD MODE. SEE # 13.
18 D1 LIT INDICATES + OR - 12 VDC FAULT, OR SOFT START FAULT.

NOTE
REMARKS
REFERENCE
“LOW” (APPROXIMATELY 1 VDC) AT THESE POINTS INDICATES FOOT SWITCH INPUT CLOSED, PREP SWITCH PRESSED, OR X-RAY SWITCH PRESSED RESPECTIVELY. “HIGH” (APPROXIMATELY 24 VDC) =
1 OPEN CIRCUIT (I.E. NOT PRESSED) FOOT SWITCH, OR PREP SWITCH, OR X-RAY SWITCH. FOR RAD-ONLY CONSOLE, “LOW” INDICATES PREP SWITCH PRESSED, OR X-RAY SWITCH PRESSED, RESPECTIVELY.
2 “LOW” (APPROXIMATELY 1 VDC) = AN X-RAY EXPOSURE HAS BEEN REQUESTED VIA ONE OF SEVERAL EXPOSURE INPUTS. “HIGH” (APPROXIMATELY 24 VDC) = NO X-RAY EXPOSURE HAS BEEN REQUESTED.
3 EXPOSURE ENABLE LINE. “LOW” (APPROXIMATELY 0 VDC) INDICATES AN X-RAY EXPOSURE REQUEST, “HIGH” (APPROXIMATELY 5 VDC) = NO X-RAY EXPOSURE HAS BEEN REQUESTED.
THE CATHODE OF THE ASSOCIATED LED IS HELD “LOW” UNDER CPU CONTROL DURING AN X-RAY EXPOSURE REQUEST ONLY. NO MEANINGFUL MEASUREMENTS CAN BE MADE ON THIS LINE AS THIS IS A
4 DATA LINE. THE REQUIRED DATA IS LATCHED BY THE REGISTER CIRCUIT(S) AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME.
THE OUTPUT OF THE ASSOCIATED LED IS LATCHED BY A REGISTER. THIS IS THEN READ BY THE DATA BUS AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME. AS THIS IS A DATA LINE, NO MEANINGFUL MEASUREMENTS CAN BE
5 MADE AT THIS CONNECTION.
6 DS30 LIT = KV ENABLE REQUEST SENT. THIS IS NECESSARY TO MAKE AN X-RAY EXPOSURE. DS31 LIT = KV ENABLE NOT REQUESTED.
7 DS27 LIT = PREP REQUEST SENT. DS28 LIT = PREP NOT REQUESTED.
8 DS26 LIT = X-RAY EXPOSURE IN PROCESS.
9 “HIGH” (APPROXIMATELY 5 VDC) = KV ENABLED, “LOW” (APPROXIMATELY 0 VDC) = KV NOT ENABLED.
10 “HIGH” (APPROXIMATELY 5 VDC) = PREP REQUESTED. “LOW” (APPROXIMATELY 0 VDC) = PREP NOT REQUESTED.
11 “HIGH” (APPROXIMATELY 5 VDC) = X-RAY REQUESTED. “LOW” (APPROXIMATELY 0 VDC) = X-RAY NOT REQUESTED.
12 “LOW” = X-RAY EXPOSURE REQUESTED AS PER # 3. THIS LINE MUST BE “LOW” IN ORDER FOR THE X-RAY EXPOSURE LED’S ON THE CONTROL BOARD TO BE ENERGIZED (SEE # 16).
13 “LOW” = (APPROXIMATELY 0 VDC) = TUBE 1 / TUBE 2 MISMATCH OR THERMOSTAT OPEN FAULT. “HIGH” (APPROXIMATELY 12 VDC) = NO FAULT.
14 “HIGH” (APPROXIMATELY 12 VDC) = KV ENABLED, “LOW” (APPROXIMATELY 0 VDC) = KV NOT ENABLED.
15 “HIGH” (APPROXIMATELY 12 VDC) = PREP REQUESTED, “LOW” (APPROXIMATELY 0 VDC) = PREP NOT REQUESTED.
16 “HIGH” (APPROXIMATELY 12 VDC) = X-RAY REQUESTED, “LOW” (APPROXIMATELY 0 VDC) = X-RAY NOT REQUESTED.
17 “HIGH” (APPROXIMATELY 5 VDC) = OUTPUT DRIVE ENABLED, “LOW” (APPROXIMATELY 0 VDC) = OUTPUT DRIVE DISABLED.
ALL INPUTS TO THE “GENERATOR READY DETECTOR CIRCUIT” MUST BE AT THE CORRECT LOGIC LEVEL IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO MAKE AN X-RAY EXPOSURE. THIS MEANS ALL FOUR FAULT INPUTS SHOWN
18
MUST BE CLEARED, AND THE KV ENABLE AND PREP COMMANDS MUST BE PRESENT.
DS17 LIT INDICATES GENERATOR READY TO MAKE AN EXPOSURE. THIS REQUIRES THAT ALL CONDITIONS PER # 18 BE SATISFIED. DS18 LIT INDICATES A “GENERATOR READY DETECTOR CIRCUIT” INPUT IS
19
NOT SATISFIED TO ENABLE AN X-RAY EXPOSURE.

2 “HIGH” (APPROXIMATELY 5 VDC) = LARGE FOCUS SELECTED, “LOW” (APPROXIMATELY 0 VDC) = SMALL FOCUS SELECTED. THIS SIGNAL IS USED IN SINGLE FILAMENT SUPPLY GENERATORS ONLY.
3 “HIGH” (APPROXIMATELY 12 VDC) = FILAMENT FAULT (FILAMENT CURRENT < 2 A). “LOW” (APPROXIMATELY 0 VDC) = NO FILAMENT FAULT.
4 “HIGH” (APPROXIMATELY 12 VDC) = LARGE FOCUS SELECTED, “LOW” (APPROXIMATELY 0 VDC) SMALL FOCUS SELECTED.
5 PRIMARY FILAMENT CURRENT AT THESE POINTS MAY BE CONFIRMED USING A CURRENT PROBE ON ONE OF THE OUTPUT LEADS ON THE SMALL OR LARGE PAIR OF OUTPUTS.
6 THE VOLTAGE AT THESE TEST POINTS WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 1 VDC = 1 AMP OF FILAMENT CURRENT.

7 THESE TEST POINTS ALLOW MEASUREMENT OF A VOLTAGE PROPORTIONAL TO ANODE CURRENT. THE SCALING IS 0.4 VDC = 100 mA. SHORT EXPOSURE TIMES MUST BE CONSIDERED AND APPROPRIATE
MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES MUST BE USED.
8 THESE TEST POINTS ARE SCALED 1 VDC = 100 mA OF X-RAY CURRENT.
9 THESE TEST POINTS ARE SCALED 1 VDC = 2.5 mA OF X-RAY CURRENT (R&F GENERATORS ONLY).

6 “HIGH” (APPROXIMATELY 12 VDC) = LOW SPEED STARTER ENABLED, “LOW” (APPROXIMATELY 0 VDC) = STARTER DISABLED (SEE # 7).
THIS POINT MUST BE “HIGH” (AS PER # 6) TO ENABLE THE LOW SPEED STARTER. THIS REQUIRES THE ENABLE COMMAND TO BE PRESENT (”HIGH”), AND THE TUBE 1 /TUBE 2 MISMATCH &THERMOSTAT

NOTE
REMARKS
REFERENCE
1 “HIGH” (APPROXIMATELY 5 VDC) = NO PTSTOP (PHOTOTIMER STOP) SIGNAL RECEIVED FROM AEC BOARD. “LOW” (APPOXIMATELY 0 VDC) = PTSTOP SIGNAL RECEIVED FROM AEC BOARD.
“PTRAMP” IS THE AEC RAMP FROM THE AEC BOARD. THE RAMP SLOPE AND MAGNITUDE WILL DEPEND ON THE AEC TECHNIQUE IN USE. THE MAXIMUM POSSIBLE RAMP MAGNITUDE IS 5 TO 10 VDC,
2
DEPENDING ON MODEL.
3 “PTREF” (THE AEC REFERENCE VOLTAGE FROM THE CONSOLE) WILL VARY FROM 0 TO 10 VDC, DEPENDING ON TECHNIQUE.
4 “HIGH” (> 10 VDC) = AEC CHANNEL DESELECTED, “LOW” (APPROXIMATELY 0 VDC) = AEC CHANNEL SELECTED.
5 “HIGH” (> 10 VDC) = L, M, R, FIELD DESELECTED, “LOW” (APPROXIMATELY 0 VDC) = L, M, R, FIELD SELECTED.
6 “HIGH” (> 10 VDC) = NO AEC STOP REQUEST (INSUFFICIENT RAMP TO TERMINATE AEC EXPOSURE), “LOW” (APPROXIMATELY 0 VDC) = AEC STOP REQUESTED (AEC EXPOSURE TERMINATED).
7 “HIGH” (> 10 VDC) = AEC START NOT REQUESTED, “LOW” (APPROXIMATELY 0 VDC) = AEC START REQUESTED.
8 THE VOLTAGE AND MAGNITUDE OF THE RAMP AT THIS POINT SHOULD BE APPROXIMATELY THE SAME AS AT TP17 ON THIS BOARD (NOTE REFERENCE 2) .
9 THIS WILL BE A NEGATIVE DC VOLTAGE OR RAMP, DEPENDING ON AEC CHAMBER OUTPUT. THE MAGNITUDE OF THE DC VOLTAGE OR RAMP IS DEPENDENT ON THE AEC TECHNIQUE IN USE.
10 THIS WILL BE A POSITIVE DC VOLTAGE OR RAMP, DEPENDING ON AEC CHAMBER OUTPUT. THE MAGNITUDE OF THE DC VOLTAGE OR RAMP IS DEPENDENT ON THE AEC TECHNIQUE IN USE.
11 R79 ADJUSTS THE +45V, +300V, AND +500V OUTPUTS FROM THE DC TO DC CONVERTER CIRCUIT. REFER TO CHAPTER 3D FOR DETAILS.
12 THE VOLTAGE AT TP22 SHOULD BE APPROXIMATELY AS SHOWN IN FIGURE 1 (BELOW). THE MAXIMUM DUTY CYCLE WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 45%, DEPENDING ON THE LOAD ON THE HV SUPPLIES.
13 THE VOLTAGE AT THIS TEST POINT IS THE OUTPUT OF THE AEC CHAMBER. REFER TO THE AEC CHAMBER MANUFACTURERS DOCUMENTATION FOR DETAILS.
