EMC Information
In accordance with the intended use, some models of this series of X-ray generators comply with the
European Council Directive concerning Medical Devices. The CE marking affixed to compliant products
signifies this. One of the harmonized standards of this Directive defines the permitted levels of
electromagnetic emission from this equipment and its required immunity from the electromagnetic
emissions of other devices.
It is not possible, however, to exclude with absolute certainty the possibility that other high frequency
electronic equipment, which is fully compliant to the EMC regulations, will not adversely affect the
operation of this generator. If the other equipment has a comparatively high level of transmission power
and is in close proximity to the generator, these EMC concerns (the risk of interference) may be more
pronounced. It is therefore recommended that the operation of equipment of this type such as mobile
telephones, cordless microphones and other similar mobile radio equipment be restricted from the
vicinity of this X-ray generator.
The Carestream X-ray Generators are intended to be used in the hospital environment except for near
active HF SURGICAL EQUIPMENT and the RF shielded room of an ME SYSTEM for magnetic
resonance imaging, where the intensity of EM DISTURBANCES is high.
Caution
Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided because it could
result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment and the other equipment should
be observed to verify that they are operating normally.
Caution
Only connect cables specified below to the Carestream X-ray Generators.
Cable Manufacturer Name Model Name Length (m) Shielded (Y/N)
RS-232 Cable Generic Generic ≤ 26 m Y
Use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified in this manual or provided by
Carestream could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic
immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation , and can influence basic safety and cause
excessive radiation.
Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external
antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the Carestream X-ray
Generators, including cables specified in this manual. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of
this equipment could result.
The emissions characteristics of this equipment make it suitable for use in industrial areas and hospitals
(CISPR 11 class A). If it is used in a residential environment (for which CISPR 11 class B is normally
required) this equipment might not offer adequate protection to radio-frequency communication
services. The user might need to take mitigation measures, such as relocating or re-orienting the
equipment.

Note
To avoid the risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a supply mains with the
protective earth.
The AC mains cable is routed into the generator via the cable clamp on the rear of the generator.
All the other cables should be routed into the generator main cabinet through the cable access slots at
the upper rear of the generator. The cables should be clamped with the cable strain relief.
For connections that must be made to the rotor control board, the AEC board, and the main control
board, route the cables and secure them with tie-wraps by the way of the tie wrap slot. All cables should
be kept away from high voltage areas in the cabinet, and wrapped neatly in place.

Connect the generator end of the shielded layer to the ground terminal on the back plate.
High Tension Cables
Caution
Obtain and familiarize with Safety Data Sheet or Article Information sheet before using chemicals
1. Verify that the HT cable connectors are clean and in good condition. Use alcohol to completely
clean the connectors on the cables and the connectors at the HT Tank and X-ray tube.
2. Remove the dust caps that cover the high voltage terminals on the HT tank and tube.
3. Insulate the high tension cable connectors.
Note
For Carestream systems, we use silicone washer and insulating oil to insulate the high tension cable
connectors. This is available in kit, part number TL5515.
a. Use two vials of oil in each connector of the HT Tank. Make sure the oil level is still sufficient
by fully seating and then removing the candlestick to see the resulting oil level on the side of
the candlestick. The oil should reach at least 1/3 the length of the candlestick.
b. Place one silicon washer in each connector of the x-ray tube. If desired, a drop or two of
insulating oil can be placed on the washer before installing the washer. Placing a thin film of oil
on the washer before installing it into the x-ray tube, will help prevent the washer from sticking
and make it easier to remove at a later time. Do not place excess oil in the x-ray tube
connectors.
4. Connect the anode and cathode cables to the HT tank and tube. Ensure that the cables are plugged
into the proper connectors.
5. Make the HT cable connectors tight between the connector insulator and the ring nut.
X-ray Tube Housing Ground

In addition to the X-ray tube manufacturers’ recommended tube grounding procedure, a separate
ground wire (10 AWG, 6 mm2) must be connected from the X-ray tube housing to one of the ground
studs on the HT tank. These ground locations may have other ground wires already connected; ensure
that these existing ground wires are not disconnected when making the X-ray tube ground connection.
Failure to make this ground connection may result in intermittent operation and/or exposure errors.
30 2023-06-19 – 7K3254
To prevent tube stator cable from pulling out, it’s recommended to follow two steps below to fix the tube
stator cable with high tension cable.
1. Bind the stator cable together with the high tension cable by using tie wrap.
2. Make the combined cables above go through the cable access hole by using tie wrap to better
fixing. See the illustration below.
Emergency-Off Circuit
If the external emergency-off circuit is connected to the generator, remove the short jump cable from
P54- 1 to P54-3 on main control board. Then connect the emergency-off switch to P54-1 and P54-3.
If it’s not necessary to connect the external emergency-off circuit, link P54 pin1-3.
See 9H4401 "system on" in "Schematics“.
DANGER: Electrical Hazard

The AC mains input voltage still exists when generator is powered off by emergency-off circuit. High
voltage still exists in the area of the circuit breaker, filter, auxiliary transformer, and room interface
board.

Room Interface Board Inputs & Outputs
DANGER: Electrical Hazard

Line voltage is present inside the generator at all times that the circuit breaker is switched on. For
safety, the circuit breaker should be switched off and locked out while connecting the room equipment.
Inputs
The Bucky inputs, tube thermal switch, and room door interlock are optically isolated. This means that
a relay contact, transistor, or other low-impedance switching device (</=100 ohm, 10 mA current
rating) must be connected across each of these inputs. Table 3-1 defines the polarity and logic required
for the inputs at the terminals. Refer also to Figure 1 for correct connection.
Radiation
Do not disable the function detecting room door interlock, unless the corresponding room equipment is
not present. Consult the applicable regulations before disabling any exposure interlocks. Do not violate
any regulations for x-ray safety. Never bypass the x-ray tube thermal switch interlock. Observe ionizing
radiation personal protection at all times.

Note
The generator is factory configured not to supply power to BUCKY_START OR BUCKY_OUT. The
Bucky outputs can be configured to supply 24 V (dc),110 V (ac), or 220 V (ac) by short jump cable if
required. Please confirm the compatibility with the Bucky used in this installation before operating.
In some installations, BUCKY_START relay, K1or K2 on the room interface board may drive the inputs
of optocouplers or other low current devices on the Bucky. The leakage current through the R snubber
is connected across the relay contacts (R6 for K1, R5 for K3) and may be sufficient to energize the
Bucky inputs when the relays are open. If this is experienced, the snubber should be removed.
Removing the parallel resistor will resolve this problem.

Oil Level Check
Caution
Obtain and familiarize with Safety Data Sheet or Article Information sheet before using chemicals.
The insulation oil is filled to the correct level in the factory before the tank is sealed. However, the oil
volume and air pressure in the tank will change because of temperature change or oil leakage. It's
necessary to balance the air pressure inside and outside of the tank during the system installation,
simply by loosening the oil fill port screw, waiting a second, and tightening the screw.
The insulation oil in the tank does not require periodic check in normal condition. However, if there is
possible oil loss, follow the procedure below to check the oil level.
1. Loosen and remove the oil fill port screw on the tank lid.
2. With oil fill port screw removed, make sure the rubber washer is removed.
3. Use a clean ruler or other material to measure the oil level. Measure the distance from the top of
the oil level to the top of oil port. Make sure the distance is between 18-25 mm. If the distance is
greater than 25 mm, replace the tank. The tank is not a field repairable part.

Section 4: Theory of Operation
Introduction
This section contains the theory of operation for the CARESTREAM X-ray Generator. The theory of
operation is organized by functional blocks as per the functional drawings in Section 9.
Functional Theory of Operation

Refer to the appropriate functional block diagram in conjunction with the theory of operation in this
section.
System ON (9H4401)
The main control board on the CARESTREAM X-ray Generator includes power ON and power OFF
switches S501 and S502 that may be used to switch the generator on and off locally while working on
the equipment. These switches are connected in parallel with the generator ON and OFF switches that
are located on the interface box.
At the beginning, the Q503 is off and Q508 is on. Pressing any of the power ON switches turns on Q503
on the main control board. This turns on Q504, holding the collector of Q504 low. This latches Q503 in
the "on" state by holding the base of Q503 low when the ON switch is released.
With Q504 turned on, the base of Q505 is held low, turning Q505 off. The collector of Q505 is connected
to the ON / OFF control pins on the +12 V switching regulator on the generator main control board
(9H4400). With Q505 turned off, the regulator control pins will be pulled to a logic high state, enabling
the low-voltage supplies on the generator main control board (9H4400).
A supervisory circuit (not shown) monitors the +5 V (dc) supplies on the main control board. The
supervisory circuit releases the CPU reset line when these low voltage DC supplies are detected at
start-up. This causes the CPU to enter its startup sequence. The CPU will initialize itself, perform its
startup diagnostics, and then output a command via U202 on the main control board to energize pre-
charge contactor K3 on the rotor control board. The CPU will then wait for approximately 10 seconds
for DC bus voltage to reach certain value, detected by CPU through ADC, indicating that the DC bus
capacitors are charged. If CPU detects DC bus capacitor charging within the allotted time, the CPU will
output a command to U202 and the driver K5, etc. to energize the main power contactor K1 via the rotor
control board. Pre-charge contactor K3 will be de-energized after a maximum of 10 seconds, as the
pre-charge circuit is not needed once the DC bus capacitors are charged.
If CPU detects that DC bus voltage does not reach certain value within the allowed time limit, an error
message will be presented and the turn-on sequence will be aborted.
Pressing any of the power-OFF switches turns off Q508 on the main control board, or pressing the
emergency stop button turns off Q504 on the main control board. Q503 will be turned off in either
circumstance mentioned above. Then, Q505 will turn on, taking the ON / OFF control lines on the +12
V AA and +12 V regulators low. This disables the switching regulators, shutting down the generator
control functions. The main power contactor will open, removing the AC input to the mains rectifier
assembly.
DC Bus & Power Distribution (9H4400)

Assuming that the AC mains is connected and switched on, line voltage is applied to the primary of the
auxiliary control transformer via F1 and F2 on the generator Side panel. This will establish the +/- 35 V
supplies via FH1, FH3, FH8, FH9, CR4 and CR6, and the +24 V supply via FH2 and FH7, and CR5 on
the filament control board.
K3 on the rotor control board will be energized when the pre-charge command is received from the
CPU. This will pre-charge the DC bus capacitors via F3 and F4, K3, series current limiting resistors.
The DC bus voltage is detected by ADC on main control board. As the bus capacitors approach a
certain voltage and the CPU detects it, the main power contactor will be energized. The line voltage is
then rectified by the chassis-mounted mains rectifier assembly to produce approximately 530 V (dc) for
380 V (ac) input. This DC bus voltage is switched by the inverter board to produce the drive for the
primary of the HT transformer as described in KV Control and Feedback (9H4404).
7K3254 – 2023-06-19 51
Service Manual
On the filament control board, LED DS1 confirms the presence of the +24 V (dc) supply, and LED DS2
indicates -35 V (dc) supply and LED DS3 indicates +35 V (dc) supply.
The BUCKY DRIVE output may be configured for +24 V (dc), 110 V (ac), or 220 V (ac) by setting room
interface board. Connecting E12 toE10 and E5 to E3 supplies +24 V (dc), wiring E12 to E6 and E1 to
E3 supplies 110 V (ac), and jumping E12 to E8 and E1 to E3 supplies 220 V (ac) (refer to 9H4402).
The cooling fan will be energized by turning on the MOSFET on the room interface board when inverter
is over-temperature.
As described in System ON (9H4401), the +12 V AA and +12 V switching regulator become operational
when the generator is switched on. The -12 V supply is derived from the +24 V. The +5 V supply is
derived from the +12 V AA supplies. The +1.8 V and +3.3 V supplies are derived from the +5 V supply,
respectively.
Room Interface (9H4402)

+24 V (dc), 110 V (ac), or 240 V (ac) for the BUCKY DRIVE is available. The 26 V (ac) and 24 V (dc)
supplies are present at all times that the AC main is energized. The 26 V (ac) supply is fused by F2 and
brought out at J7-1 and J7-3 on the room interface board (maximum 150 watts for collimator use), and
the 24 V (dc) supply is fused by F3 and made available at J6-1 and J6-3 for system use (maximum 45
watts).
Bucky relays K1 and K2 on the room interface board are driven by U202 on the generator main control
board. When K1 or K2 is energized, +24 V (dc) , 110 V (ac), or 240 V (ac) is provided at J1-1 or J2-1
on the room interface room board to start Bucky 1 or Bucky 2.
The Bucky 1 or Bucky 2 ready signal (a contact closure is needed) will energize optical coupler U1 and
U5 or U2 and U6 respectively. The Bucky-ready status from U1/ U2 is conveyed to the CPU, where it
is processed to determine if the Bucky are ready to make an X-ray exposure.
During an X-ray exposure, the main control board will energize K3 on the room interface board by
U202. K3 provides a dry contact closure when energized, which may be used to control the room light.
The room interface board also contains two interlock inputs. These include the door interlock and the
Xray tube thermal switch interlock. Each of these interlock inputs requires a contact closure to indicate
a normal condition, with a closed interlock energizing the associated optical coupler U3 and U7 or U4
and U8 respectively. The outputs of the optical couplers are read by the CPU on the main control board,
where the information is used to determine the readiness of the associated input.
The MOSFET Q1 on the room interface board is controlled by CPU. When Q1 is "ON," the cooling fans
are energized.
X-ray Exposure (9H4403)

The PREP and EXP are connected to the inputs of isolation driver U112 on the main control board.
Pressing PREP will set the input pin12 of U112 to low on the main control board. The low state of
corresponding output pin5 of U112 is read by the CPU on the main control board. A prep request will
be recognized. DS104 on the main control board will light to indicate that a prep request has been
made. In the prep phase, the generator will boost and preheat the filament, and drives tube anode
rotating.
Pressing EXP hand switch will set the input pin11 of U112 to low on the main control board. The low
state of corresponding output pin6 of U112 is read by the CPU on the main control board. An exposure
request will be recognized. DS105 on the main control board will light to indicate that an exposure
request has been made.
The drain of Q317 controlled by pin6 of U112 on the main control board is AND'ed with Q314, Q312,
Q315 and latch circuit of PT STOP.
The base of Q314 on the main control board must be held low to allow an exposure. This requires the
following conditions:
--The collector of Q313 must be low, indicating that no fault has been detected by the CPU.
--The X-RAY ENABLE command from U112 must be low.
52 2023-06-19 – 7K3254
--The tank must be connected.
With the base of Q314 held low, Q314 will be off. The line connected to TP303 on the main control
board will then be pulled high via R356, pulling the control inputs on NAND gates U314A and U314B
on the main control board high, as described in kV Control and Feedback (9H4404).
The base of Q312 on the main control board must be held low to allow an exposure. This requires no
filament fault.
The base of Q315 on the main control board must be held low to allow an exposure. This requires no
beam fault.
The latch circuit of PT STOP on the main control board must be held high to allow an exposure. This
requires no PT STOP from AEC board.
Lastly, with the output of CPU on the main control board low, the collector of Q313 will be high. This
turns Q405, Q406 and Q407 on, isolating from the kV demand circuit, part of kV Control and Feedback
(9H4404).
kV Control and Feedback (9H4404)

Refer to 9H4404, sheet 1:
When there is no X-ray request by the CPU, the KV CHARGE from 9H4403 will be pulled high. This
circuit is described in X-ray Exposure (9H4403). When the kV CHARGE is high, the junction of CR403
/ R435 on the main control board will be held low (+0.3 V). This ensures that the error amplifier cannot
generate any kV demand.
When a valid X-ray request is received, the kV CHARGE command is removed and the D/A converter
U205 will produce the required kV reference voltage. The kV reference voltage is buffered by U204 A,
inverted by U401A, and then limit the negtive going kV soft start signal from U401C at the input of error
amplifier U402A. Error amplifier U402A will regulate the kV by producing a DC output that is
proportional to the difference between the kV reference voltage and the kV feedback voltage.
The kV reference signal and the kV feedback signals are also processed by U404B, U404C, and Q411.
The result is an HV ON signal at the output of Q411 that is high when the actual kV is greater than
approximately 75 % of the demanded kV.
The tank primary current is sampled by T302 and rectified by D311, D312, D313, and D314 to produce
a current limit signal (a negative voltage proportional to the primary current). This is applied to the input
of U402D, where it will limit the kV demand if the primary current exceeds safe limits. This current limit
signal is also fed to comparator U504 and U513, which generates a fault pulse if excessive primary
current is sensed. This fault pulse is fed to the CPU via U509, immediately causing the gate drive to be
inhibited, preventing inverter damage due to the over-current condition.
The output of U402D swings increasingly negative for increased kV demand. This kV demand voltage
is buffered and inverted by U402C, and then applied to the VCO (voltage controlled oscillator).
The VCO generates complementary output pulses that vary in frequency. The frequency of these
pulses is inversely proportional to demanded generator output power. The current sense feedback from
T301 synchronizes the start of the pulses.
The gate-drive pulses from the VCO are fed to NAND gates U314A and U314C. The control inputs of
U314A and U314C are held high if all logic conditions to allow an X-ray exposure are satisfied. The
drive pulses are inverted and level shifted by U317A and U317B, and then applied to the gates of the
MOSFET inverter consisting of Q401, Q402, Q403, and Q404 on the main control board. These
MOSFETs form a full bridge inverter circuit that outputs high frequency gate pulses to the power
MOSFETS on the inverter board(s) via P40 and / or P41 (depend on generator configuration) on the
main control board.
The differential kV feedback voltage from the tank is brought to P42 on the main control board. This is
applied to the inputs of U403C and U403D, where the kV feedback scaling is precisely set by R444.
The differential feedback signals are then subtracted by U403A. The output of U403A supplies a kV
feedback signal to error amplifier U402A as described earlier in this section. The kV feedback signal is
also supplied to the CPU via A/D converter that is a module of the CPU, which monitors the output
voltage during an exposure. Lastly, the kV feedback signal is fed to the kV over-voltage comparator
7K3254 – 2023-06-19 53
Service Manual
U507, which will send a fault pulse to the CPU via U509 if a kV over-voltage condition is detected.
The main control board also contains circuits that guard against an inverter "shoot-through" fault. If a
shoot through fault is detected, T501 and / or T502 on the main control board will supply a current pulse
that is detected by comparator circuits U501 and U502. The relevant comparator will then generate a
fault pulse that is passed to the CPU via U509, causing the gate drive to be inhibited immediately, thus
preventing inverter damage due to this fault.
The inverter boards produce the high power drive for the high voltage transformers. The output of the
inverter boards drive the primaries of the high voltage transformers via the resonant / sharing inductors
and the resonant capacitor and a current transformer that samples the tank primary current.
The tank has similar anode and cathode sections. The cathode and anode sections each have their
own high voltage transformer and high voltage multiplier board. The anode section generates the
anode voltage, 0 to 75 kV. The cathode section generates the cathode voltage, 0 to -75 kV. The anode
and cathode sections contain voltage dividers that supply kV anode and cathode feedback voltages.
The kV feedback from the tank is brought to P42 on the main control board as described earlier in this
section.
Filament Drive and mA Control (9H4405)

D/A converter U205 on the main control board will produce the filament reference voltage (1 volt = 1
amp of filament current) when the CPU receives a valid Prep command. This is buffered byU204C.
The filament reference voltage is fed to U301A on the main control board. The output of U301A is
summed with the output of current limit clamp U301D. The filament current limit is set at 5.5 A.
Next, the filament reference voltage is summed with the filament feedback voltage at the input of error
amplifier U301C. When the feedback voltage is smaller than the reference voltage, the output of U301C
rises causing the pulse width at the output of U303 to increase. Then the pulse width is routed to the
filament control board via P30 on the main control board.
PWM (pulse-width modulator) U303 drives MOSFETs Q2, Q4, Q6, and Q8, which form a full bridge
inverter on the filament control board. The MOSFETs convert the + and - 35 V supplies to high
frequency AC to drive the primary of the filament transformers at the filament switching frequency,
approximately 25 kHz, via C6, the primary of T1, large / small filament select relay K1, P7 on the
filament control board, and P1 on the tank lid board.
The secondary of the filament transformers provide high voltage isolation, and drive the filaments via
the cathode high voltage connector as shown.
The output of filament current sense transformer T1 on the filament control board is fed to RMS
converter circuit consisting of U304 and associated components on the main control board. The output
of the RMS converter drives U301B, which is a variable gain amplifier. The filament current feedback
is calibrated such that 1 volt = 1 amp of filament current. The calibrated filament feedback voltage
(representing actual filament current) appears at the input of buffer U302A, at the summing input of
error amplifier U301C as described earlier in this section.
The output of U301B is buffered by U302A, and fed to the input of comparator U302D. The output of
U302D will be high if a filament fault is present, i.e. filament current less than approximately 1.5 amps.
This will turn Q302 on, taking its collector low. The collector of Q302 is taken to the CPU on the main
control board. If low filament current is detected, X-ray exposures will not be possible, and a filament
fault message will be displayed.
The filament current feedback signal is then converted to a digital signal by A/D converter on the main
control board in order that the filament current can be monitored by the CPU.
When an exposure is in process, X-ray tube current flows through series resistors on the HV anode and
cathode boards. The voltage developed across these resistors, which is proportional to the X-ray tube
current, is taken to P42 on the main control board. Transient protectors on the high voltage boards
54 2023-06-19 – 7K3254
clamp the voltage across the series resistors during high voltage arcs.
The grounded mid-secondary circuit in the tank is connected to the mA test jacks E1 / E2 on the tank
lid board. Transient protectors on the tank lid board clamp the voltage across the mA measuring device
during high voltage arcs, and prevent the voltage at E1 and E2 from rising above approximately 15 V
if the mA test jack is removed and no measuring device is connected.
The anode mA feedback that appears at P42-1 and P42-2 on the main control board is scaled
approximately 0.4 volts = 100 mA of anode current, and is applied to the input of differential amplifier
U406D.
The output of U406D is taken to comparator U505, which detects high anode mA. U505 will send a fault
pulse to the CPU if an anode over-current condition is detected, causing the kV output to be inhibited
immediately, thus preventing generator damage due to the over-current fault.
The output of U406D is also fed to the input of U406A, which provides a scaled mA feedback voltage.
The mA is calibrated by R488 such that 1 volt = 100 mA at the output of U406A. The output of U406A
is buffered by U404D. The output of U404D is taken to CPU via A/D converter. The output of U406D is
also to voltage amplifier U406C, which provides a better quality (higher gain) feedback signal at low
anode currents. The mA is calibrated by R497 such that 1 volt = 10 mA at the output of U406C. The
output of U406C is buffered by U406B. The output of U406B is taken to CPU via A/D converter. The
mA feedback information is used by the CPU to regulate the X-ray tube mA and to perform mA
monitoring functions during exposures.
The cathode mA feedback at P42-4 and P42-3 on the main control board is used for cathode over-
current detection only. The cathode mA feedback is fed to the input of differential amplifier U405D. The
output of U405D is taken to comparator U506, which detects high cathode mA. U506 will send a fault
pulse to the CPU if a cathode over-current condition is detected, inhibiting the X-ray exposure, thus
preventing generator damage due to the over-current fault.
Dual Speed Starter (9H4407)

The generator CPU decides whether the pending exposure should be made at low-speed or high-
speed operation.
The prep command is also output by the generator CPU. Driver Q203 lights DS207(not shown on the
drawing) on the generator main control board, and energizes U601A.
K1 on the rotor control board will close at the start of the prep cycle. K2 will close at the same time that
K1 is energized. This ensures that the high voltage is isolated from the stator terminals at all times
except during normal operation of the dual-speed starter.
The dual-speed starter contains an inverter, Q1 to Q4, which produces the required stator current at 60
or 180 Hz by precisely switching the 480-740 volt DC bus. The rotor control controls the switching of
the inverter via the driver circuit consisting of U601-U611 on the main control board and T1-T4 on the
rotor control board, etc.
The modulated output from the inverter is fed to the common stator terminal via one leg of the inverter
and via K1. The shift and main currents are taken from the other leg of the inverter. K1 switches the
common current.
Temp Sensor / Programming Jumpers (7K1362)

The inverter temperature board is mounted on one of the inverter heat sinks. The output of the inverter
temperature board is connected to P71 on the main control board. The temperature signal is connected
to the A/D converter of CPU via the filter circuit, which will inhibit further exposures if the temperature
is over 80 °C (176 F).
7K1362 also shows programming jumpers JW101. JW101 is used to upgrade the generator firmware.
This is set to JW2 pins 1-2 for normal operation, and pins 2-3 for upgrading the firmware.
Serial Communications (9H4409)

When the generator is switched on and the start-up diagnostics are finished, the console will attempt
to communicate with the generator. The console will send data to the generator, and then wait for a
response from the generator. If the console receives a response, communication may continue. If the
7K3254 – 2023-06-19 55
Service Manual
console PC does not receive a response from the generator, a communication error message will be
displayed.
DS102 on the main control board will flash when data is being received by the main control board from
the console. DS103 on the main control board will flash to indicate that the main control board is
sending data to the console.
U105 on the main control board is a RS-232 transceiver, and converts the +3.3 V TTL levels from the
CPU via the isolate IC U112 to RS-232 levels for the serial port.
The main control board includes two serial communications ports. These include P11 and J10. J10 is
for normal operation and P11 is for debug.
J10 and P11 can't be used at the same time.
DS101 on the main control board will flash at a consistent 1 Hz rate if the related CPU is operational.
Automatic Exposure Control (9H4408)

The functional schematic of AEC is used with various 3-of-5-field ion chambers. The AEC chambers
are connected to J1 and J2. The AEC signal from the AEC chamber(s) is routed to the input of analog
switches U4 on the AEC board. These analog switches are controlled by the chamber-select signals.
The chamber-select signals originate on the main control board as per sheet 1. Only one chamber may
be active at one time, and the active channel is indicated by DS1 and DS2 on the AEC board. The
chamber-select signals are inverted by U1. The signals CH 1 and CH 2 are connected to the control
inputs of the analog switches described in the previous paragraph. The analog switch corresponding
to the selected AEC channel will be closed when that channel is selected, thus connecting the AEC
signal to the input of U6A. The channel 3 and channel 4 select lines from U1 are inverted by Q1 and
Q2. The outputs of Q1 and Q2 are re-designated as the PORTRAIT and INVERTED signals,
respectively. These signals select four different combinations of the L-M-R fields from the five available
fields on the AEC chamber.
The start signal also exits from the main control board. This is inverted by U1, and then inverted again
by Q3 and Q4.
The inputs of U6A are in series with gain pots R61 and R62, the AEC gain adjustment potentiometer
corresponding to the active channel. The AEC signal, which will be a ramp, is now fed to the input of
U6A. The analog switch in the feedback loop of U6A is opened during an exposure, allowing the AEC
ramp to appear at the input of U6B via a phase-lead network that provides short time compensation.
The AEC ramp from U6B is again inverted by U6C and taken to the main control board where it is
processed as described earlier in this section, and fed to comparator U7 on the AEC board where it is
compared to the AEC reference voltage. The output of U7 is normally high, switching low when the
magnitude of the AEC ramp is larger than the reference voltage. This AEC_PT stop signal is further
processed on the main control board.
The D/A converter U205B on main control board produce the AEC_REF voltage which is buffered by
U204B.
The AEC select signal is produced by CPU via Darlington driver U704.

Section 5: Troubleshooting
Introduction
General Remarks

After the generator has been switched OFF, hazardous voltages are still applied to the DC bus, the
rotor control circuit, and the Inverter assembly.
These voltages are usually discharged within 5 minutes to values which are no longer dangerous.
For that reason, always wait for a minimum of 5 minutes before starting any electrical work after the
generator has been switched OFF.
1. Wear PPE (PErsonal Protective Equipment)
2. You must use safe electrical practices
3. Apply LOTO (Lockout/Tagout)
Warning
Please wear the appropriate antistatic tool at all times when handling the PCBs.
To investigate the possible cause of generator failure, the generator offers several diagnostic methods:
• Power on self test
• Generator log (error code)
• Service tool view function (View DC bus voltage, view tube calibration data,etc.)
• Test point on PCBs
• LED indicators on PCBs
The generator contains self-diagnostic routines which greatly facilitate troubleshooting. Self-diagnostic
functions require that DSP function correctly. The LEDs DS101 on MCB that indicate DSP correct
operation. When DSP is OK, the LED will be flashing at 1 Hz frequency.
When error occurred, an error message will pop up on the console, then the generator will change to
the error phase, and no exposure is available. In this case, you need to close the pop-up window to turn
generator to be in normal status. If the error continually pops up, problem needs to be fixed first before
using.
As a general rule, the first step in any troubleshooting procedure is to verify correct power supply
voltages and perform a visual inspection of all boards and cable connections.
Log access:
• Generator will send the log to console PC istead of storing any log on PCB. The log will be stored
in hard disk. A txt file will be created for every 50 M.
Tools
• Standard service engineers tool kit
• Digital multimeter with capacitor mode and diode mode
• Digital oscilloscope
• Antistatic kit
Strategy
There are two categories of problems:
1. The generator cannot be switched on at all, no error code is reported. Refer to 'Switch on problem'.
2. Error messages are displayed on console or log file. Refer to 'Error code analysis'.
7K3254 – 2023-06-19 57
Service Manual
Start-up Sequence
When S1 is closed, green LED DS1,DS2, and DS3 on FCB stay ON.
1. Power ON switch is pressed, power on circuit on MCB sends out 'ON' command, power regulator
circuits start to work and generates 12 V, 5 V, 3.3 V, and 1.8 V low DC voltages, which will supply
all PCBs.
2. MCB begins to work. DS301 (red) on MCB is ON, (filament fault indicator), DS511, DS512 (yellow)
on MCB are ON, (± 12 V indicator), DS101 (green) on MCB is flashing, (DSP heart beat indicator),
DS202, DS203 (green) on MCB are ON, indicate default small filament and high speed rotor is
selected.
3. MCB tests following signals: hand switch signal, tube thermal switch signal, rotor status, and K1
status.
Test OK.
4. Energy RCB K3, pre-charge DC bus, DS205 (green) on MCB is ON indicating k3 is energized. The
red LED DS1 on RCB becomes bright gradually and stays lit when at the maximum brightness.
5. Generator monitors the DC bus voltage.
DC bus voltage reaches preset range in 10 seconds.
6. Energize main contact K1 and turn on DS206 (green) on MCB, which indicates that main contactor
driver signal is present. Then MCB will verify the status of main contactor K1. K1 will be regarded
to be energized after DS603 being turned ON.
7. Verify tube file.
Test OK.
8. Apply voltage on filament. DS301 on MCB turn OFF, indicate filament current present, generator
start up finished and internally ready for exposure.
Switch On Problem
1. If failed to switch on generator by console, try to switch on by S501 on MCB.
2. If switched on failed by S501, run the following troubleshooting tree to identify the root cause of
failure.
58 2023-06-19 – 7K3254
3. If switched on successfully by S501, check the cable connection from J10 of MCB to console.

Section 7: Maintenance
Introduction
This section provides a recommended schedule for periodic maintenance of the X-ray generators. The
initial installation date and location, and all service performed on the generator, should be recorded in
the table below. The record should be as thorough as possible, detailing the scope and type of work
that was performed (all service and a record of all replacement parts that were installed). Additionally,
the person performing the work should date and sign the record. This information will be invaluable in
the future for traceability and to ensure continued compatibility of the generator.
If a major component (such as the HT oil tank or a main control board) is replaced, recalibration will be
needed. A separate procedure will be included with the spare in those cases, detailing the required
calibration procedure. The acceptance test procedure should then be performed prior to placing the
generator back into service.
Caution
Maintenance is to be performed only by competent, trained personnel who are familiar with the potential
hazards associated with this equipment.
Note
Maintenance schedule frequency may be dictated by certain regulatory requirements of the country or
state in which the installation is located. Always check the local codes and regulations when setting the
maintenance schedule.

Always switch off mains power to the generator and wait a minimum of 5 minutes for capacitors to
discharge before beginning any preventative maintenance, including cleaning.

Cleaning
Caution
Before using any disinfectant, please obtain SDS (Safety Data Sheet) or AIS(Article information sheet)
and familiarize with it.
• Never use anything other than mild soap and water to clean plastic surfaces. Other cleaners may
damage the plastic.
• Never use any corrosive, solvent or abrasive detergents or polishes.
• Ensure that no water or other liquid can enter any equipment. This precaution prevents short
circuits and corrosion forming on components.
• Methods of disinfection used must conform to legal regulations and guidelines regarding
disinfection and explosion protection.
• If disinfectants are used which form explosive mixtures of gases, these gases must have dissipated
before switching on the equipment again.
• Disinfection by spraying is not recommended because the disinfectant may enter the X-ray
equipment.
• If room disinfection is done with an atomizer, it is recommended that the equipment be switched
OFF, allowed to cool down, and covered with a plastic sheet. When the disinfectant mist has
subsided, the plastic sheet may be removed and the equipment be disinfected by wiping.

Extern sync
Tomo Synthesis and Dual Energy Signal
Input Output
Enable signal Start signal
Trigger signal
Enable signal: When enable signal is send from system to generator, generator is notified to detect
trigger signal. The trigger signal is send to generator by system, when exposure is allowed. Enable
signal is a low active signal.
Trigger signal: The system send this signal to generator to allow exposure when enable signal is
present. The trigger signal can be configured to raise edge or fall edge. If it is configured as raise edge,
the generator will start to exposure when the trigger signal change from low level to high level. If it is
configured as fall edge, the generator will start to exposure when the trigger signal change from high
level to low level.
Configuration
Select the enable signal and start signal in station settings, set the time out limit refer to the timing
figure.
7K3254 152
Service Manual
Set trigger settings in Tomo or Dual Energy configuration settings.
Note
Don`t select enable signal and trigger signal in same input source.
Tomo synthesis timing figure

T1: Enable time (start from bucky start); 20 s timeout; pop up error, if timeout.
T2: First trigger time (start from bucky ready); 10 s timeout. pop up error, if timeout.
T3: Frame trigger time (start from the last trigger fired); 1 s timeout; go to hangover, if timeout.
T4: Total duration time (start from first trigger); 60 s timeout; pop up error, if timeout.
Terminate tomo synthesis exposure procedure

1. Enable signal turn off. Normally exit;
2. Total duration timeout. Abnormally exit. Pop up error.
