Information on the protective conductor resistance test 1.8
Observe the instructions in the "Safety Rules for Installation and Repair"
(ARTD-002.731.17 ...).
The protective conductor resistance must be measured after every intervention in the sys-
tem.
However, documentation of the measured values is required only during periodic safety
checks.
If parts/components that can significantly influence the protective conductor resistance
(e.g., replacement of the power cable, replacement of the power-up module, replacement
of multi-pole connection cables which also create the protective conductor connection
between system parts (e.g., monitor cable or C-arm cable)) are replaced or if protective
conductor connections have been repaired, the protective conductor resistance must be
measured. The values must be documented and evaluated in the protective conductor
resistance protocol.
NOTE For evaluation purposes, the first measured value and the
values documented during maintenance or safety checks
must be compared to the measured values. A sudden or
unexpected increase in the measured values may indicate a
defect in the protective conductor connections - even if the
limit value of 0.2 ohms is not exceeded. (Protective conduc-
tor or contacts).
The measurement must be performed according to DIN VDE 0751, Part 1 (see ARTD Part
2). The protective conductor resistance for all touchable conductive parts must be mea-
sured during the normal operating state of the system.
Make sure that control cables or data cables between the components of the system are
not mistaken for protective conductor connections.
During the measurement, the power cable and additional connection cables which also cre-
ate the protective conductor connection between system parts (e.g. monitor cable between
the basic unit and monitor trolley) must be moved section by section to detect cable breaks.
The protective conductor resistance must not exceed 0.2 Ohms.

Functional test of the measuring device and cabling 3.5
NOTE The check of the programmed value activates the internal

test of the electronics unit of the dose-area product measur-
ing device.
Prerequisite
MEMOSKOP and SIREMOBIL are already programmed. See “(Programming in the
MEMOSKOP CX200 / p. 29)” “(Programming in the SIREMOBIL / p. 31)”.
• Select the "Adjustment", "Calibration..." menu.
• Click "Yes" at the prompt.
• Select "Diamentor" in the "Function Groups:" combo box.
• In the "Available Functions" window, select the line "Start Diamentor Test" and click
"Execute".
• Start the test by pressing the ->0<- key (reset key for the fluoroscopy time).
¹ The tested value is displayed on the monitor of the SIREMOBIL
• The displayed value must agree with the programmed test value "5000". Tolerance: +/-
5%.
• If the displayed value is outside the tolerance, replace the dose-area measuring device.
• After the check, select "Stop Diamentor Test" on the service PC and click "Execute".
• The test is ended.
• Then perform the check of the accuracy of the air kerma. See next page.

Check of air kerma accuracy 3.6
Fig. 7: Check of accuracy_2
NOTE A dose value is displayed on the monitor before and after

radiation (resolution 0.1 mGy)
In fluoroscopy, a dose rate value is displayed on the monitor
during radiation (resolution 0.1 mGy/min).
Abbreviations
∆Ka/∆t int Dose rate (air kerma), internal measurement from the system
∆Ka/∆t ext Dose rate (air kerma), external measurement on the dose measur-
ing device
Correction factor Cx
The correction factor Cx is required because the dose measuring chamber is fitted directly
on the I.I. housing and is not "300 mm from the I.I." or "150 mm from the isocenter".
Distance from the source to the I.I. input (SID) = 1005 mm.
Distance from the source to I.I. housing/grid = 1005 mm - 20 mm - 985 mm.
'Reference Location' (RL) = 685 mm (reference point is 300 mm from the I.I. housing/grid or
“Reference Location” (RL) = 487 mm (reference point is 150 mm from the isocenter).
Correction factor Cx = (985 /RL)2
¹ Cx with RL "685" = 2.07

Air kerma 35
¹ Cx with RL "487" = 4.09

Enter the correction factor Cx (2.07 or 4.09) for all three diaphragm positions in the follow-
ing table (Tab. 6 / p. 35).
Check
• Set the dose meter to the "Dose rate" operating mode.
• Attach the small (1 cm3) dose measuring chamber of the dose measuring device (Dali,
Nomex) or the semiconductor detector of the dose measuring device (e.g., Diados) to
the center of the image intensifier (Fig. 7 / p. 34).
• Select full format.
• Select KV-mA curve HC2.
X • Release fluoroscopy briefly, select KV-STOP and set 70 kV.
• Open X-iris and slot diaphragm completely.
X • Release fluoroscopy and wait ten seconds. Then read the “∆Ka/∆t ext” dose rate on
the dose meter and the dose rate displayed on the monitor “∆Ka/∆t int”. Enter the val-
ues in the following table (Tab. 6 / p. 35) in the "X-iris and slot diaphragm completely
open" column.
NOTE The radiation field must radiate the entire area of the dose
measuring chamber or the semiconductor detector of the
dose measuring device.

• Recalculate “∆Ka/∆t int” from “mGy/min” to “µGy/s” and enter into the table:
∆Ka/∆t int [mGy/min] x (16.66) = ∆Ka/∆t int [µGy/s]
• Multiply the value of the external measurement “∆Ka/∆t ext” by the factor Cx and enter
into the table.
∆Ka/∆t ext [µGy/s] * Cx = ∆Ka/∆t ext_Cx [µGy/s]

• Determine the actual deviation and enter into the table:

Actual deviation in [%] = [(∆Ka/∆t int) - (∆Ka/∆t ext_Cx)] *100 / (∆Ka/∆t ext_Cx)
• The maximum allowable deviation is +/- 35%.
If the deviation exceeds +/- 35%, the diaphragm positions of the X-Iris and the slot dia-
phragm have to be set and calculated again. (See (Determining the diaphragm posi-
tions of X-Iris and slot diaphragm / p. 30) and (Programming in the SIREMOBIL / p. 31).
• Repeat the work steps in order to determine the actual deviation for the diaphragm
positions "slot diaphragm completely open, X-iris open approx 12 cm" and "X-iris com-
pletely open, slot diaphragm open approx. 12 cm" and evaluate the actual deviations.
(12 cm measured on the monitor)

Final work steps 3.7
• Reattach all covers.

• Observe the notes on the protective conductor test in these instructions. Perform the
protective conductor resistance test.
¹ The protective conductor resistance must not exceed 0.2 ohms.
• Perform partial acceptance tests in accordance with country-specific regulations.
