Safety Summary
This equipment produces ionizing X radiation when energized. Do not operate the system
without reading and understanding this manual in its entirety.
Never allow anyone to ride the Conveyor Belt. Be aware of the normal mechanical hazards
of moving conveyor components at both ends of the Conveyor System.
Do not allow placement of any part of the body through the lead curtains located at the ends of
the Conveyor System Tunnel with the X rays energized. An X-ray hazard could result.
Do not operate the system with torn or missing tunnel lead curtain strips. An X-ray hazard
could result.
If you have any questions concerning regulatory or safety issues, contact your L-3
Communications Security & Detection Systems Customer Support Representative.
Due to certification requirements, the system must be installed, maintained and relocated only by
L-3 Communications Security & Detection Systems trained and L-3 Communications Security &
Detection Systems certified Field Service/Customer Support Representatives. There are no user
serviceable parts inside. There are potentially dangerous high voltages inside. Do not attempt to
gain access to the subassemblies inside the Mainframe or Operator Console.
Panel Interlocks (Canadian Systems Only)

Panel Interlocks are internally-mounted switches located behind the Mainframe access panels on
each ACX 6.4-MV System. They are provided as a safety measure such that system operation is
immediately stopped whenever an access panel is opened or removed.
WARNING!
Mainframe access panels should only be removed by authorized personnel. Otherwise, serious
injury may occur.
If an access panel is opened by L-3 Communications S&DS-trained service personnel or by an

authorized supervisor, a mechanical interlock is automatically activated. As a result, X-ray
production is disabled and system conveyor movement is halted. Once a panel interlock is
activated, it must be reset by replacing the panel. After the panel is replaced, the system may
resume normal operation after a conveyor button is pressed.
2. Panel Interlock Condition
Close panels to restore operation
Emergency Stops
Emergency Stops are standard on the ACX 6.4-MV. They are located at the entrance and exit
above the tunnel and on the operator console. Pressing an E-Stop activates it. To de-activate the E-
Stop, either pull out the E-Stop on the operator console, or for the others turn them in the direction
of the arrows. Then follow the onscreen instructions to continue.

Operator Sensor
An Operator Sensor can be in the form of a Floormat. The Sensor is used to ensure that an operator
is in front of the Operator Console when the system is operating.
When an Operator Sensor is installed and enabled, the system will only operate if the operator is at
the Operator Console. Stepping away from the Operator Console stops the conveyor and ceases all
X-ray generation. The Display Monitor Toolbar is covered by an error message. Once the operator
steps back into position, the message is removed and the system resumes normal operation.
Operator Sensor Interlock

Please return to the normal operating position
NOTE
Use of an Operator Sensor is a requirement for systems used within the US and Canada.

The ACX 6.4-MV combines up to three ultra stable, true dual energy X-ray scanners (Views A, B,
and C) and a high performance computer system together with unique multi-level software
algorithms to achieve accurate materials analysis of any object contained in the scanned item.
Depending upon the system configuration, one or two views can be simultaneously displayed on
the monitors. The system automatically generate alerts of suspicious areas by placing a box around
the suspicious portions of the displayed image on Monitor A to help the operator quickly resolve
suspect items.
The dual energy scanners provide precision high voltage pulses to three X-ray generators, Views
A, B and C, that produce alternating X-ray pulses at two different X-ray energy spectra. The
detector subsystems consist of up to three right angled, 'L shaped' arrays utilizing proprietary
detector circuitry. The view C and view A arrays have 1152 detectors each and the view B array has
1088 detectors.
Approximately one half million pixels of X-ray attenuation data are obtained per energy/per scan
(x3) and are aggregated into tens of thousands of regions that are examined and merged into
hundreds of objects. The composition of each object is analyzed independently and compared to a
database of target materials. The algorithms perform the multi-level analysis required in order to
detect a wide spectrum of various explosives that could be contained in the scanned item. The
analysis includes, but is not limited to, object definition and isolation, composition analysis,
determination of object mass, object density, as well as shape and other specific object oriented
heuristics.
The system incorporates high reliability, industrial quality components and features extensive self
test and diagnostic capabilities to ensure the required high level of accuracy and stability in a
sometimes hostile airport baggage room environment. It continuously monitors internal voltages,
temperatures, and safety interlocks

Inspection Tunnel
The systems has three sets of photocells. These are mounted in the entrance tunnel wall, the space
in the tunnel wall between the first and second view, and exit tunnel wall as shown in Figure 2-6.
The entrance photocells are used to determine when a bag enters the inspection tunnel and this is
used to determine when to turn on X-rays.
Photocells

GDB-II
Figure 2-6. Photocell Locations
Figure 2-7 shows the Photocell cable.
Figure 2-7. Photocell Cable
When the feedback voltage from the X-ray tank indicates that X-rays are being generated, LEDs
located on the Console and the X-ray On lights at both ends of the Mainframe are lit. The lights at
both ends of the Mainframe are driven directly by the X-ray hardware on the X-ray Controller.
The photocells between the first and second view are used internally for tracking of the item being
inspected. The exit tunnel wall photocells are used to determine when a bag exits the inspection
tunnel and this is used to determine when to turn off X-rays.
Note that the belt can be run in both the forward and reverse direction. X-rays are generated only
when the belt is going in the forward direction and after the item being inspected is detected by the
entrance photocells.

X-ray Generation
The X-ray Source consists of between one and three X-ray Tanks mounted to the Mainframe. The
X-ray Generator generates X-rays. The X-rays are shaped and projected through the object being
scanned to the Detector Boards.
Figure 2-8 shows the back of the X-ray tank with the cables attached. The power cable has three
connections, the brown wire connects to pin 1, the blue wire connects to pin 3 and the green/yellow
connects to the ground screw. Table 2-1 shows the color and pin out for the X-ray status cable
connector.

Each X-ray tank includes two pulse-width modulators for controlling the X-ray tube voltage and
current.
Input line voltage to the X-ray tanks is 220VAC, 50Hz/60Hz, and 4 Amps RMS max. ACX 6.4-MV
Systems X-ray generators are programmed to operate at 220VAC.

Output voltage performance for the X-ray tube operational range is programmed to be within 80 to
160 kV (±40kV to ±80kV) and is measured at the tube to within ±2% of the selected value. Voltage
regulation is <0.05% for ±10% of the nominal input line change and <0.05% for 0.1mA to 1.2mA
load change. The mA/kV ramp time is less than 200 mS from 10% - 90% of the output voltage and
current. The kV overshoot returns to within 5% of full output voltage in less than 10ms.
The X-ray tube generates a fan-beam of X-rays that penetrate the item under inspection as it passes
through the Inspection Tunnel. The X-ray fan beam is approximately 60 degrees by 0.1 inch wide.
X-ray Detectors
For each X-ray tank there is a detector subsystem. Each detector subsystem consists of two arrays
of detectors that are positioned around the X-ray focal point. The detectors are mounted in a right-
angled 'L-shaped' configuration that utilizes proprietary detector circuitry. Every second, 240 lines
of data are generated. Each line of data contains high and low detector values. The digitized detector
data is then sent to the computer for analysis.
The Detector Array for views A and C consists of 18 Detector Boards and for view B consist of 17
Detector Boards. Each detector board is comprised of a High energy side and a Low-energy side.
Each board has 32 High and 32 Low. The detectors on the Low-energy side are made of an
intensifying screen mounted to a silicon photodiode array. The detectors on the High-energy Amp
Boards are made of a laddered arrangement of scintillators mounted to silicon photodiodes. Each
detector box assembly has an A/D Converter Board next to it that it connects to via a ribbon cable.
The boards receive power and addressing information through the cables and return analog signals
to the A/D Converter Board through the cables. Each A/D Converter Board digitizes the data it
receives and sends it to a PCI Interface Board located inside the computer. Therefore there is one
A/D Converter Board and one PCI Interface Board per view.
Clock and control signals originate at the PCI Interface Board and are transmitted to the A/D
Converter Board. A Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) on the A/D Converter Board
receives the signal and responds by generating all addressing information and converting
commands to read all high and all low channels in 4.1 milliseconds. This reading process occurs 4
times, which yields four lines of data. After receiving all four lines of data, the A/D Converter Board
waits to receive the next pulse, which occurs every 16.667 milliseconds. This results in a rate of 240
lines of data each second.
The L-shaped Detector Array is mounted opposite the X-ray Source. The arrays for views A and C
consists of 18 Detector Boards for a total of 1152 (576 High and 576 Low) Diodes and the arrays
for view B consists of 17 Detector Boards for a total of 1088 (544 High and 544 Low) Diodes.
Power is supplied via cable 1200-11716-00 from the GDB-II board to the ADC7 board. Cables
1200-10796-xx connects the ADC7 and the Detector Arrays and is used to transfer data and control
information. Cables 1200-11041-xx connects the ADC7 and the Computer Arrays and is used to
transfer data and control information. For more information about cable connections refer to the
Interconnect Wiring Diagram, 8100-11552-00.

Inspection Tunnel and Conveyor
The Inspection Tunnel is a lead-lined metal enclosure in which the bag or package is X-rayed. Lead
curtains at both ends of the tunnel provide shielding from X-ray scatter.
The Conveyor moves items to be inspected through the Inspection Tunnel. The Conveyor Assembly
consists of a supporting frame at each end, a belt, and a three-phase power roller assembly. The
Operator controls the conveyor using buttons on the console.

AC Drive
The ACX 6.4-MV algorithms require data to be collected at a known belt speed. Therefore, the
conveyor uses a PowerFlex AC Drive to maintain a constant belt speed 25.05 cm/sec -2% +1%. The
replacement part number for a pre-programmed drive is 1600-10665-01. The instructions for
programming the drive is in document number 8100-11391-00, The PowerFlex AC Drive

5.1 Preventive Maintenance
L-3 Communications Security & Detection Systems recommends that all systems undergo a full
Preventive Maintenance inspection by factory-trained service personnel on an annual basis. The
inspection consists of verifying that the system is operating within specifications and that it fully
complies with all applicable safety regulations. Using the Installation Procedure as a general guide,
perform all tests that would normally be required for the initial system installation, including
verifying the proper line voltages and performing scattered radiation surveys.
The system will have undergone a nominal amount of wear since its initial installation. Be
especially aware of any of the following:
• unusual noises or odors
• a mistracking or damaged Conveyor Belt
• worn conveyor snub roller bearings
• torn or missing Inspection Tunnel curtain strip
• damaged or missing system labeling
• missing, broken or sticking pushbutton switches
• burned-out illuminating indicators
• any missing or loose hardware
In addition, the system should be vacuumed internally, especially around the fan assemblies. The
input fans have a snap-on filter, inspect and replace the filter if necessary. Internally, the system's
mechanics should be inspected for any excessive component wear and be sure the system's cooling
fans are operating properly.
All preventive maintenance and procedures should be done in accordance with the Preventive
Maintenance Procedure, 8601-10011-00.

3. Make sure that the screws are equal distance on both sides.
4. Run the belt in the FORWARD direction for several minutes to ensure that the belt tracks true.
5. From the entrance observe whether the conveyor belt moves toward the left or right side, or
puckers (lifting of the belt because of excess tracking).
6. If poor tracking or puckering should occur, adjust the position of the snub pulleys as follows:
Left side poor tracking/puckering: Adjust the position of the left hand side snub pulley
bracket toward the entrance pulley as necessary until no further poor tracking occurs.
Tip - Make small adjustments to the bracket position, leave the belt running for several minutes
before making further adjustments to this bracket. The action of moving the snub towards the
pulley drives the conveyor belt onto the pulley and pushes it away to the right.
If the left hand side of the machine is inaccessible, perform the procedure from the right hand
side of the machine. Move the snub pulley bracket away from the entrance pulley toward the
tunnel as necessary until no further poor tracking occurs.
Make small adjustments as above and observe the belt for several minutes.
Right side poor tracking/puckering: Adjust the position of the right hand side snub pulley
bracket toward the entrance pulley as necessary until no further poor tracking occurs.
Tip - Make small adjustments to the bracket position as mentioned above and observe the belt
for several minutes.

If the right side of the machine is inaccessible, perform the procedure from the left side of the
machine. Move the Snub Pulley bracket away from the entrance pulley toward the tunnel as
necessary until no further poor tracking occurs.
Make small adjustments as above and observe the belt for several minutes.
7. Press the REVERSE button on the Operator's Console for reverse belt movement to verify
that no poor tracking occurs. Let the belt run for 3 or 4 revolutions. Repeat steps 5 and 6 if
necessary and remember that the entrance end has changed now that the belt is in reverse.
8. Press the FORWARD button on the Operator's Console for forward belt movement to verify
that no poor tracking occurs.
9. Press the STOP button on the Operator's Console.
10. Press the FORWARD button on the Operator's Console. Observe the belt for at least 5
minutes to ensure it remains in track.

Chapter 6. Subsystems
The ACX 6.4-MV Detection Systems consists of several subsystems that control overall operation.
This chapter contains information theory of operation for the Mainframe Subsystems.
6.1 Mainframe Subsystems
The Mainframe contains several subsystems that control the overall operation of the ACX 6.4-MV.
6.1.1 Power Distribution
The Mainframe houses a universal Isolation Transformer that accepts 100 to 240 Volts of single-
phase AC current at either 50 or 60 Hz with 3.0 kVA maximum - manual tapping must be
performed. For the maximum current draw refer to section 2.2 on page 2-2. For example, for a two
view system the maximum current draw at 100-120 VAC is 12.25 amps and at 220-240 VAC is 6
amps.
The Power Distribution System is controlled by the General Distribution Board-II (GDB-II).
