B Connection to Mains
• Proper cabling to be in place in the room for connection to the mains.
• Connection to be made behind the column at 40 inches (about 100 cm)
from the floor, with cable free to move up and down with the carriage.
• Mount the supporting guide for the mains cable.
• Perform polarity test to make sure that the “live” wire is actually the
“hot” one connected to the mains fuse:
Turn “OFF”. the mains room switch and system mains switch
Connect an AC voltmeter between the “fuse contact” and “ground”.
Turn “ON” the mains room switch and system mains switch.
If full line voltage is measured the wiring is correct.
If not, turn “OFF” the mains room switch and system mains switch,
reverse “live in” and “neutral in” wires, then repeat measurement.
Eventually the full line voltage is read between the “live” point on
the fuse contact and “ground”.
Line wires are either colored or numbered for easier identification.
The wire connected to the fuse contact has to be the “live” one.
Make sure no voltage is read between the “neutral” wire and
“ground”. If not check line voltage distribution.
Turn “OFF” the mains room switch and system mains switch
• Connect the power supply cable to the mains line block, permanently
• Apply fuse label for selected mains voltage close to the mains fuse
holder or check the applicable box on the existing label
• Be ready to turn “ON” the mains room switch and system mains switch
to supply the system when needed.
C Exposure Hand-Switch
• Connect the exposure hand-switch plug into
the relevant socket on the right side on the
vertical carriage.
• In case of use of remote hand-switch discon-
nect the coiled cord of the hand-switch and
connect the extension cable (4 wires cable).

At installation the unit can be set to work at 115 or 230 V after proper in-
sertion of configuration plug and fuses (see table below). Mains power is
fed via the interference filter to the low voltage transformer and via the re-
lay to the line voltage rectifier. The stabilized voltages of +15V, +24V and
non-stabilized of +38V are generated. Specific low voltage supply mod-
ules are available for the electrical brakes and for the laser lights.
During the preparation phase (filament heating) a signal from the control
unit causes the relay to close. During exposure the mains voltage rectified
is connected to the Power Switching Unit. The yellow light on the expo-
sure hand-switch (push button) and the buzzer are switched-on too.

The power switching module is divided in two parts: on the left side the
circuits for the control of the filament supply, on the right side those for
high voltage generation.
• During preparation and exposure the rectified mains voltage (300 VDC)
is fed into the unit.
• Pulses with a frequency of 80 kHz pass to the filament regulator driver.
The output voltage of the regulator depends on the duty cycle of the
driving pulses.
• Feedback from the regulator output is fed to the regulation unit.
• Pulses with the frequency of 40 kHz pass to the filament inverter driver.
Output of the inverter goes to the filament transformer in the tube-head.
• The inverter current is sensed by a dedicated resistor and the signal is
fed to the regulation unit.
• During preparation, the pulses with the frequency of 20 kHz pass to the
High Voltage (HV) inverter driver.
During exposure the pulses pass also to the HV regulator driver.
The output voltage of the regulator depends on the duty cycle of the
driving pulses.
• Feedback from the regulator output is fed via the opto-coupler to the
regulation unit.
Version 3.1 6968000210 37/84

• Output of the inverter is connected to the HV transformer in the tube-

head. The inverter current is sensed by a current transformer and rele-
vant information passed to the regulation unit.

6.5 Regulation Board
PROBES 8-11
SA101
PROBES 1-7
The purpose of the regulation module is to control the level of the tech-
nique factors kV and mA by checking the feedback signals coming from
the tube-head, and comparing them with the reference signals set by the
control unit. The necessary information is passed to the voltage regulators
on the power switching unit.
• The level of the anode voltage (kV) is controlled by acting on the input
voltage to the high voltage transformer (tube-head).
• The level of the anode current (mA) is controlled by acting on the fila-
ment supply.
• Calibration is required only for the part controlling the filament (and
therefore the resulting anode current in mA) and has to be performed
every time either the tube-head, or the power switching, or the regula-
tion unit itself is replaced (due to tolerances of the components).
• Calibration of the kV level is done automatically by the control unit.
• The Switch SA101 ON during calibration, on OFF for normal use.
Two set of probes are available for testing purposes as indicated below.

C Panoramic Field Check

• Shoot X-ray, by using Service function “X-RAY TEST – CONTINUE
mode” at 70 kV. The room should be dark enough to be able to see the
marked lines. Watch the light of the beam from below the X-ray gene-
rator, at a convenient distance and with proper radiation shielding. Al-
ways wait for cooling time between one exposure and the other.
• Check the beam for rota- UP UP UP
tion and align it to be ver-

tical by loosening the
three screws around the
body of the collimator.
• The irradiated field in ver-
tical height must stay be-
tween the upper and lower
lines. Align it using the
screws on the collimator.
• The irradiated field must
be symmetrical in relation
to the central line of the
radiation detector. If not, a
horizontal shift has to be done by unlocking the tube head and acting on
the shift tuning screw for side movements.
D Panoramic Beam Rotation
• On a Pan Solo system the correction of rotation is done by loosening
the 4 screws holding the collimator and by rotating it as needed.
• On Pan Ceph system the correction of rotation is done by loosening the
3 screws holding the disk with collimators and by rotating it as needed.
E Panoramic Beam Vertical Shift
• Both on a Pan Solo or on Pan Ceph system the vertical correction of the
beam is obtained by raising or lowering the supporting plate of the col-
limator.
Pan Solo Vertical Alignment: Loosen the 4 screws of the collimator
move it up or down then tighten the screws to block it again.
Pan Ceph Vertical Alignment: select the Adult Pan slit, release the
blocking screws of the holding support then move up or down the
holding cylinder. At the end tighten all the screws loosen.

8.8 Replacement of Position Sensors

The procedure includes:
• Description of sensors
• Position Sensor for Rotation
• Position sensor for Translation
• Position Sensor for Pan Ceph collimator
A Electro-Optical Sensors
The sensors to monitor the movement of the
rotation carriage are made of three electro-
optical devices on a small board.
Each one sensor is made of a light source
(light emitting diode) and of a device sensi-
tive to light (photo-transistor).
The presence of light detected by the photo-
transistor, or the absence of the same due to
a non transparent object intersecting the
A
beam of light, define two conditions.
In the side picture A, B, and C are the posi- B
C
tions where the three sensors are located.
Using a plate with proper profile we can
generate 3 sets of signals depending on
presence or absence of light for the 3 sen-
sors.
In order to generate the necessary move-
ment signals for the rotating carriage a met-
al disk is used with shaped external profile
and a full set of small holes to interact with
the sensitive area of the sensors.
Sensor A works aligned on the holes all
around the plate to generate a pulsed signal
during carriage rotation.
Sensor B is positioned to detect the middle
position of the carriage, when it reaches half of the rotation.
Sensor C is used to detect both beginning (starting point) and end of car-
riage rotation (final point).

9. ALARM MESSAGES
9.1 Warning Messages
Warning messages inform about the occurrence of certain events which
might require the user to operate.
A Low Battery
The internal battery is generating low voltage and needs to be replaced in
about one month from first warning message.
B X-ray generator high temperature
The system is cooling down and the requested exposure would exceed the
loading capacity. Wait until ready.
C CAM init
Wait for system to complete initialization until ready.
D Adjust Arm Position
The rotation arm was moved out of position with unit switched OFF and
cannot be initialized.
• Turn the system OFF.
• Place manually the arm in “patient entrance” position by rotating and
shifting the carriage slowly.
• Turn system ON and perform initial reset.
E Wait PC ready
The communication line to the computer is missing or the application pro-
gram is not in acquisition mode. Perform necessary correction.
This warning message is not active in test mode (service functions).
9.2 Error Messages
In the following indications are given on possible corrective actions in re-
lation to the error messages generated or other abnormal situations.
A Error 1 kV reference signal out of range
Measure the voltage value at test point 11 (reference kV, 10 kV/V from
6.1 to 8.5 V) on the Regulation board. Replace the Control Unit if the sig-
nal is not corresponding to the display setting.
B Error 2 mA reference signal out of range
Measure the voltage value at test point 12 (reference mA, 1 V/mA from 4
to 10 V) on the Regulation board. Replace the Control Unit if the signal is
68/84 6968000210 Version 3.1

not corresponding to the display setting.

C Error 3 Carriage rotation encoder failure
Position sensor to be replaced or aligned.
D Error 4 Carriage displacement encoder failure
E Error 5 Carriage rotation sensor failure
F Error 6 Carriage displacement sensor failure
G Error 7 Cassette displacement sensor failure
Check the micro-switch on the cassette carriage and align or replace it.
H Error 9 Tube-head temperature exceeding limit
If the tube-head is at high temperature wait for it to cool down.
I Error 11 Exposure aborted during irradiation
This is usually a consequence of the “dead man functionality” which ter-
minates irradiation upon release of the exposure hand-switch. In case the
error appeared without specific request by the operator a malfunction
could be present in the cable of the hand-switch, in its connector or in the
Control Unit itself. Fix or replace accordingly.
J Error 12 Exposure aborted before irradiation
minates irradiation upon release of the exposure hand-switch. This error is
generated by interruption during movement before irradiation. In case the
error appeared without specific request by the operator a malfunction
could be present in the cable of the hand-switch, in its connector or in the
Control Unit itself. Fix or replace accordingly.
K Error 13 38 V DC supply out of range
Check the value with a volt meter on the test point of the Power Supply
Board and replace it if the value is not in the range 34 to 42 V.
Conversely, if the electrical value is in the range, with the service function
“Test Voltages” verify on the display the abnormal readout of the control
unit and replace it in case. Check also the integrity of the connecting
cables.
Version 3.1 6968000210 69/84

L Error 14 24 V DC supply out of range

Board and replace it if the value is out of the range 23to 25 V. Conversely,
if the electrical value is in the range, with the service function “Test Vol-
tages” verify on the display the abnormal readout of the control unit and
replace it in case. Check also the integrity of the connecting cables.
M Error 15 15 V DC supply out of range
Board and replace it if the value is out of the range 14.5 to 15.5 V. Con-
versely, if the electrical value is in the range, with the service function
cables.
N Error 16 5 V DC supply out of range
Check the value with a volt meter on the test point of the Regulation Unit
Board and replace it if the value is out of the range 4.75 to 5.25 V. Con-
versely, if the electrical value is in the range, with the service function
cables.
O Error 17 High voltage failure
This message is generated when the inverter current or tube voltage are in-
creasing abnormally.
Failure on the Power Switching Unit or in the tube-head itself is possible.
Replace the Power Switching Unit board first and the tube-head in case.
P Error 19 Exposure time exceeded
This can be caused by a malfunction in the control unit. Replace it.
Q Error 20 Exposure aborted after irradiation
minates irradiation upon release of the exposure hand-switch. This error is
generated by interruption during movement after irradiation. Re-take is not
needed, unless in the case of quitting the exposure in the middle of the
TMJ procedure.
In case the error appeared without specific request by the operator a mal-
function could be present in the cable of the hand-switch, in its connector
or in the Control Unit itself. Fix or replace accordingly.
70/84 6968000210 Version 3.1

R Error 21 No tube current

No or low anode current. This error can be caused
• by interruption of High Voltage power supply (right side of the Power
Switching Unit board)
• or by interruption of the filament power supply (left side of the Power
Switching Unit board)
• or by interruption of the driving circuits (in the regulation board)
• or by fault in the tube-head (input transformer or multiplying circuits).
Check the supplying circuit in the bushing and the flat cable between the
regulation and power switching boards.
On the Power Supply unit check the switch SA 301 (must be ON), fuses
FU 304 and FU 305. If they are OK, switch exposure and check the driv-
ing signals for HV regulator and inverter (points 1, 2, 6 and 7 on the Regu-
lation Unit) and the HV inverter supplying voltage (between points D3
and S5 in the Power Switching Unit) – should be in range from 50 to 100
volts (depending on kV and mA setting). Then measure the primary circuit
of HV transformer.
If all is correct, the circuit between the secondary of HV transformer and
tube is broken.
Depending on the location of the fault, consider to replace the Power
Switching Unit board, the Regulation Unit board, the connecting cables or
the tube-head.
This error can be also activated by sparking in the tube, when a very short
over-current signal switches off the HV regulator only, but is not trapped
by the Control Unit in order to activate error 17.
In this case try to perform the tube seasoning (de-gassing by making a
number of exposures at low kV) or replace the tube-head if necessary.
S Error 23 Filament current out of range
It appears when filament current value is exceeding the permitted range.
Power switching unit to be replaced first, regulation unit second, and con-
trol unit in case.
T Error 25 Thermal sensor failure
The thermal sensor is broken or disconnected. Verify continuity and pres-
ence of thermal sensor jumper on the control unit board. Fix accordingly.
In case of failure of the thermal sensor inside the tube-head, the tube-head
should be replaced. Alternatively the functionality for minimization of
waiting time for cool down can be disabled through “Thermal Settings” in
Service Mode and control loading manually using the cooling curves.
Version 3.1 6968000210 71/84

U Error 26 Battery fault

Battery voltage too low. Replace battery.
V Error 32 Control unit fault
Replace control unit board.
9.3 Mains Fuse Blows at X-ray On
Check resistors R321, R322, R323, R324, R325 (connected to the relay in
the Power Supply Unit board).
If defective, charging of capacitors C305, C306, C307, C308 could not be
done properly during the preheating time. The capacitors will be charged
directly as soon as the radiation is started with the consequence of burning
the fuse due to the very high charging current.
Causes of resistor breaking could be:
• Pulse overloading of the resistor during the capacitors charging.
• Too high leakage current of capacitors C305, C306, C307, and C308.
• Short circuit in the input of the power switching unit (JED26 - XC201).
Replace the Power Supply Unit board or in case the involved module
causing the short circuit to occur.
9.4 Other Alarm Messages
• Internal Software Error, with error code xxh ?? ISE ??
and address yyyyyyyh. Switch the system OFF C: xxh A:yyyyyyyh
and ON again to try to overcome the problem.
• Over-Current. Over Current
This occurs with a short circuit of a stepper mo- Axe: A B C
tor:
A = Axe Rotation, B = Axe X, C = Axe cassette
Switch the system OFF and remove the short circuit on the motor, then
switch the system ON.

10. MAINTENANCE
Maintenance to the equipment must be performed at least once a year by
qualified personnel.
Always disconnect the system from mains supply using the

general mains switch for the room where the equipment is
located before starting maintenance, and connect back to
mains only for activities requiring it.
The following actions to be done:

• Check the condition of the cables for vertical movement of the carriage.
If some wires of the strand are broken, it is necessary to replace them.
• Perform lubrication of accessible parts subject to movement.
• Avoid using liquid or spray detergents which may enter into the equip-
ment and cause corrosion.
• Complete check of system performance (kV, mA, mAs, s).
• Verify proper alignment of aiming lights (laser beams) and clean the
output window of each source.
The laser aiming system is a Class I laser product. Avoid dur-

ing operation unnecessary exposure of the eyes of the patient
or of the operator to the laser radiation. Also pay attention
that the laser beams are not intercepted by any optical device.
• Check for proper working conditions of all mechanical and electrical
safety features.
