points at SG. See MD3 Stand Unit Manual, Fault Finding.
• LEDs at SG

1.2. INITIAL CHECK LIST 2.3. VLT CONTROLLERS

― Attempt to reproduce the fault or problem as
described by the doctor.
― Functionally test the system to ensure there
are no additional (unreported) faults.
― Check the User Interface displays for error
codes.
― (Error code formats are described in the
following chapter).
― Establish the fault using the functional system
drawings in this manual. Most subsystem
interconnections can be measured with a
multimeter on SY.
― Check all power supply LEDs (green) and
fuses. (The MD3 stand has a bank of fuses in
the left side of the base unit.)
― Remove the covers from the electronic
cabinets and check for visible faults.
― Start up the self tests (built in self test) of the
different subsystems and try to find defective
components.
― Connect a PC to all the V24 inputs and check
the (error) log buffers.
Fault finding sections are also provided in the
subsystem and unit manuals. Section 1 of this
book illustrates an overview of all system
documentation.
At the right side of the base unit there are three
VLT frequency motor controls to control the C-arc
scan, Main arm Tilt. Each VLT motor controller
has a V24 input to connect to a PC. It is possible
to investigate a fault in the VLT controller, or the
motor connected to the VLT controller, using the
Philips VLT Control Software (FCI). (See the
"Philips VLT Control Software" in the System
Reference Manual and the Danfos documentation
which is supplied with the Unit Manual (red) of the
MD3 stand). Every VLT motor controller has a red
LED which indicates a fault in the VLT controller
or motor.
2.4. DSI
The DSI does not have error numbers or error
LEDs. Errors can only be detected by looking in
the logbuffer TCOPs.
2.5. CPE
CPE errors are displayed on a row of red LEDs on
BH29. The CPE unit manual section fault finding
describes the error codes.

The HSA control unit (SG) is designed in such a

way that when power to this unit is turned off,
everything, except the HSA function, must be
working. In the case of prep, exposure or
fluoroscopy faults, always switch off the power to
SG, to check if the fault is being introduced by
SG.

3. GCF FAULT FINDING
3.1. PAEDIATRIC FAULT FINDING
Two elements are vital for the functioning of
paediatric mode
3.1.1. Automatic Selection of D/2-Function
― D/2-function can only be called upon if it is
programmed in the CP-E (Rel. 6).
― This function can only be programmed, in the
CP-E if (in service-mode) the D/2-button on
the control desk or User Interface can be
pressed.
― Therefore it is necessary to (temporarily)
release the D/2-function in the PFCO
configuration menu.
― Program in the PFCO: ["SYSTEM_TYPE" +
(fda) or (lfd)], e.g.
• MD3/4 (fda) or (lfd)
• D97 (fda) or (lfd)
• TD (fda) or (lfd), whether for North-
America or not.
CP-E REL. 6.2
― Now program in the Operation Control
Functions 2 Menu:
― "low fluo doserate": module 0 ==> 0 0
; module 1 ==> 1 4.
― After the D/2-function has been programmed
in the CP-E, the PFCO must, for R.O.W.
systems, be reprogrammed as:
― ["SYSYTEM_TYPE"] ==> { non (fda)
or non (lfd) }.
This disables the D/2-button on the user control
again, which is strictly foreseen for the North-
American market where continuous fluoroscopy
dose is about 2½ x the R.O.W. - dose.
NOTE
If the D/2-function is not correctly "programmed"
in the CP-E, you will find that the paediatric dose
is correct, but the level of the video-signal in this
mode will be half the required value, which leads
to a low image brightness on the monitor.

Checks & Error Lists
3.1.2. Mandatory Use of AGC-Circuit
A crucial element in paediatric mode is the
mandatory use of the AGC-circuit. Paediatrics
cannot function properly without the AGC-circuitry
of WM-25 in the XTV-Control Unit.
The AGC circuitry must be enabled for paediatric
functionality
― XTV-11 (TAP) Control Unit / WN-25
― S1-1 : L S1-2 : L
NOTE
Once the AGC circuit is enabled, there is a
restriction in the level of maximum beam current
for GCF, Paediatrics and DSI-Exposures. The
maximum signal which can be handled by this
AGC-circuitry is 1200 mV. In practice this means
that, at a dynamic range of 1:8, the average beam
current must never exceed 150 mV for any mode.
― In Paediatric mode, the dose per pulse is
halved in the generator by reducing the pulse
time from 20ms to 10ms (nominal value).
― The dose-rate within the pulse stays the same
but the dose-reduction information cannot be
communicated.
― Therefore CP-E is not informed and does not
send a message to the TV-diaphragm to
compensate for the loss of light.
― As a result we end up with a reduced video
level.
― By having "D/2" in the CP-E automatically
selected in Paediatric mode (see above) the
"low dose" (AGC) circuitry adjustment (a soft
potentiometer) is selected.
― Adjust the Fixed_Gain such, that the video
signal is up to normal level.
The AGC-circuit is used to amplify the reduced
video-level.
― If the AGC-circuit or the auto-D/2 is not
selected in paediatric mode, the result will
always be a lack of brightness of the image
on the monitor.
― On PFCO configuration menu: always
program "PAEDIATRICS FX_TV_GN".
― In this situation you have: - Automatic D/2-
selection in Paediatric mode (no manual
override).
― Disabled manual D/2-selection in pulsed
fluoro mode.
― Disabled manual D/2-selection in continuous
fluoroscopy mode.
NOTE
If you program anything else, D/2 is not
automatically selected and so your paedi images
will be too dark.

Checks & Error Lists
3.2. GCF2 / PAEDIATRIC / HSA FAULTS
3.1.3. Paediatric APR Programming
Problems
― If the SCP does not accept the configuration
of a Paediatric APR through Fluoro-curve # 7
(CZ-11.4), your generator is supplied with
Software Release 8.1.
― Upgrade to the later SCP software release 8.3
3.1.4. Paediatric Images Too Dark
― AGC-circuit not enabled in XTV-11 Control
Unit
― D/2-functionality not configured in CP-E
― In PFCO configuration menu "PAEDIATRICS
FX_TV_GN" was not specifically selected.
3.1.5. Bad Image Quality in DSI-Exposure
― Max beam current above 1200mV. At a
dynamic Range of 1:8, the average beam
current must be maximal 150mV, due to
restrictions in the AGC.
This phenomenon can easily be found during the
IQ measurements LEVEL 1, Contrast Range.
Notice that the "whitest" pill A/B-10 turns out to be
less bright than pill A/B-9, which in turn is less
bright than pill A/B-8.
If this phenomenon vanishes when (temporarily)
disabling the AGC (switching WN-25 / S1-2 to R ),
the video-level towards the AGC is too high.
3.1.6. HSA-Mode - Radiation Without Image
― If in the PFCO configuration menu the
Fluoroscopy delay is set between 450 and
550 ms, you can get a "radiation without an
image" situation by pressing the fluoro pedal
before releasing the HSA footswitch.
3.1.7. HSA Not Functioning
― HSA_AUX is not recognized (AUX 1 for MD-3
/ AUX 3 for MD-4)
― HSA_APR is not recognized (Generator
program # 23)
If, in case of an MD-3, the last selected technique
before switching off was HSA, the generator
"remembers" automatically to start up in this HSA-
mode and because the HSA-interface panel can
only "see" the messages being sent from the
control desk, it is not aware of the selected APR..
Reselecting HSA will cure the problem.
― In the PFCO configuration menu,
HSA:"disabled"; this must be "static".
If "toggle" is selected HSA will alternate between
function and not function.

Section 2
― No (Sony) VCR is connected.
The HSA mechanism was strictly designed
around the handshakes of the
SONY SVO 9500 MDP + 34-pole SVKB-110
remote interfaceboard.
The well-functioning and radiation safety of HSA
cannot be guaranteed without it.
― VCR is not switched on or no tape inside
― Tape inside the VCR is recording-protected or
tape is full.
― On the HSA-interface panel switch S1-2 in the
wrong MD-mode (AUX & Baudrate).
― The "PREP_DELAY Bypass" was not taken
away on the SYSCONPAN.
The SYSCONPANs (MD-4 only) delivered are
manually modified.
A modification in the SYSCONPAN is created,
which initiates PREP while the DSI performs its
selfcheck simultaneously. This modification
however, deprives us of proper HSA-functionality.
For HSA systems the up to now manually
performed modification (wires soldered in the
panel factory) has to be reversed.
(A Change Request has been written in order to
mount a jumper on the SYSCONPAN so we can
program either one or the other situation).
HSA systems require a small hardware
modification on the CP-E which replaces the one
reversed on the SYSCONPAN. If this modification
is not carried through, the system will respond to
normal DSI-exposure.
Requests with a 420 ms delay, because of the
ENABLE_PREP switch which is and must be ON
for the injector safety.
Remove BH X4: pin 3 (RQXGPR) and add this
wire to BH X9: pin 7 (RQPR). (2 wires on pin 7).
(A Change Request has been written for the
CP-E: BH-10 board, to have a jumper
implemented which will have the same effect as
the modification mentioned above).
3.1.8. DSI does not Record HSA Images
Simultaneous with VCR
― No patient selected on DSI.
― No digital memory capacity left in the DSI.
― On the HSA-interface panel switch S1-1 is in
the OFF position.
― Inspect PFCO configuration menu, you have
Fluoro delay set > 700 ms (must be 400ms).
3.1.9. HSA Images - No Play Back on Monitor
― No External Video programmed on DSI in the
"Acquisition Configuration"-menu.

1. INJECTION CONTROL

1.1. INTRODUCTION
It is possible to connect an injector to the MD3
system through connector X20 on the left side of
the MD3 base unit.

The connector on the MD3 base unit provides

only a 220 Volt supply (see power supply
drawings section 3 of this manual).

There are no interconnections to provide for

synchronisation of the MD3 exposure and injector
start signals.
