1 INTRODUCTION
This section describes activities on fault finding with a corrective nature only. Performance checks are dealt
with in the System Manual Installation and/or in the Preventive Maintenance manual. Image quality
performance checks are dealt with in this System Manual Corrective Maintenance section 6.
The faultfinding process is of major importance for corrective maintenance and could be approached as
follows. Any user should like to have a system availability up to 100%, without any discontinuity or even an
interruption. With technical systems this is not possible and even a try to achieve this goal would be a major
operation and would cost too much. For this reason planned- and corrective maintenance and (after sales)
service are necessities.
Troubleshooting and faultfinding and consequently system corrections and/or parts replacements and/or
adjustment & verification, are essential elements in this process. For optimal continuity and cost
effectiveness in the operation of the system, the 80-20 rule will be used.
Approximately 80% of the problems should be solved by field service. This should be done by the field
service engineer himself with the help of the available BV Family service documentation.
Approximately 20% of the system faults are not solvable and/or can not be allocated within a limited period.
These faults can only be allocated together with the dedicated support and/or assistance of specialists, of
which the X-ray HelpDesk should be the entrance.
NOTE
Faults can only be identified and resolved by competent and trained field service personnel; in the case an
individual problem cannot be identified, field service is strongly advised to contact the centralized X-ray
HelpDesk for the BV Family Systems. For communication with the HelpDesk, refer to section “General
introduction”.
________________
To find the causes of problems, a number of flow-charts and lists have been made. The idea is that in case
of a problem one will be triggered by one of the following points:
One of the system displays shows error messages (the C-arm stand display or MVS monitor), see
chapter 2.
The LED indicators light up in an unusual combination see chapter 7.1.
A mechanical function of the system does not work properly, see chapter 3.
The system does not start, see chapter 4.
No image appears on the monitor, see chapter 5.
The image on the monitor is of bad quality, see chapter 6.
Go to the flow-chart or list corresponding to your problem and follow the systematic steps. The flow-charts
have been set up carefully with people of several departments.
2 ERROR MESSAGES
Error messages can appear on the display of the C-arm stand and on the left monitor of the Mobile Viewing
Station.
Messages generated by the SUCO processor will appear on the display of the C-arm stand.
Messages generated by the DFI processor will appear on the display on the left monitor of the MVS.

If there are problems with mechanical functions, the causes will be obvious in most cases.
Problems with mechanical functions will be caused by mechanical components in many cases. So, check the
function of the relevant mechanical components.
CAUTION
Always allow for 10 seconds between switching the system OFF and ON again. This delay will prevent
possible damage to the power supply components of the system.

DFI video input signal faultfinding will be done by checking the output of the DFI (the processed analogue
video signal with digital archive) in comparison with the DFI input (the analogue video signal with digital
patient data). The DFI is responsible for the electronic image processing and displaying features. If the video
input signal is valid and there is no output signal or the output signal is not valid, the DFI is malfunctioning.
Before the visualization of the shape of the video input signal, the presence of this signal could be checked.
Field service has to check the presence of a valid video input signal by checking the [green] sync-LED on the
video input. If the sync-LED is not ON, there is no sync signal and hence no valid video signal.
The electronic image processing and displaying features of the DFI are part of the BV Family image
processing chain: X-ray tube, II/TV, SUCO, DFI and Monitors.
An example of a typical and valid video input signal is shown in the figure below.
Signal measuring takes place through a video line triggering oscilloscope. For the specification of the
oscilloscope, refer to the SM-G section General Introduction.
NOTE
To measure video input, a T-connector should be installed to warrant a 75 ohms signal termination. No other
termination is appropriate to measure video input signals.
________________
DFI self test: tests only the internal DFI circuits. Problems with the analogue in and out circuits are covered
with the faultfinding flow-charts.
The Self Test is started up automatically each time the power is switched on.
For faultfinding units are swapped sometimes. This is not preferred in case of the DFI II, because the DFI II
and the MIDAS board contain configuration and adjustment data that depend on the actual configuration of
the system.
To ensure a safe operation it is required that the software always checks the system serial numbers (which
are stored in the MIDAS board as well as the DFI II).
In case of replacing the DFI II or the MIDAS board, this data must be restored. Therefore, data is stored in
the DFI II as well as in the MIDAS. The system can only restore the data if in the MIDAS board or the DFI II
the serial number is empty (this indicates a fresh unit). Spare parts are always fresh.
Choosing “Service connection” in the Backup-Restore submenu of the BV-Scope menu tree can make a
temporary connection, using default settings. A temporary connection is valid until the system is switched off.
The SUCO consists of several PCBs. Fault finding of the SUCO takes place at board level and not at
component level. At start up of the system the SUCO self test and the MIDAS self test start automatically.
Off Off No power, self test not running or situation just after a reset
On Off Self test results: not OK (This situation can occur when the result of the self test
is not OK, but the application can run while the service PC port can not be
accessed. The red LED is showing defective hardware.)
In BV-Scope select:
Faultfind > Logging...
After the selection of Logfile Complete System a log file appears. The items are sorted on date. For how to
analyze the data, see chapter 2.1.1
NOTE
The error numbers are linked to the numbering scheme of the PCBs in the SUCO rack.
