Programming
The D48 J8 4-bit counter is set externally. When a
program is called, data stored in EAROM goes through
the J6 level converter, to the set inputs of counter J8.
The level converter does not output data unless the D44
J14 flipflop is set to Program. The D47 DATAOUT signal
reaches the counter as PE signal by way of D48 J3. This
accepts data with PE from the EAROM.
Blackening data is stored over the D48 J2 level converter
and J7 tristate buffer. The buffer switches over for 160
ms to the outputs of J2.
When selecting iontomat manually, the counter must be
reset to zero. The D50 iontomat selector supplies the
needed signal.
Filament Circuit and Focus Switchover
Optocoupler J5 monitors voltage at capacitor C5. If the
voltage drops to 0, the J17 voltage frequency converter
is blocked via signal from J5 (bridge short in filament
circuit).
The filament inverter works like the W1 inverter.
Capacitor C1 is used in the oscillating circuit. In standby,
the foci are heated over the contacts RK and RG. With
the ZB signal, the non-selected focus is disconnected.
With fluoro, the filament current to the non-selected
focus is low enough to prevent emission. This assures
that the radiographic heating value can be reached 1.2
sec following fluoro.
Lamp H1 is operated by resistors R1A and R1B.
Switch S1 selects fluoro focus.
The logical circuit J2, J2, and J3 drives relays DV, RG,
and RK for filament current switchover.

Grounding
The jumper between K2 and K3 is the only connection
between 0V and ground. If the jumper is removed, there
must be no connection between 0V and ground.
See Iontomat Troubleshooting for more information.
High Voltage Circuit
The heating DAC supplies the two heating transformers
with high frequency voltage AC on the primary side.
The high voltage is generated by two voltage doubler
circuits.
If there is a tube surge, resistors R1-R8 limit the
discharging current of the voltage doubler circuit
capacitors C1-C2. The overvoltage arrestors also
respond if a line is open.
High voltage detection is handled across two 200
megohm resistors. A capacitor frequency-compensates
the positive-side resistor. The positive actual value
handles voltage regulation.
A blower cools the single tank generator, and begins
running when the generator is switched on.

Initial Load Reduction
Capacitor C15 is charged by D516 J21 to the tube
current required value. The initial load signal opens
switch J24. C15 voltage falls with time constant R17 and
R18/C15.
The constant portion of the initial load curve goes to J25
via R19.
The J25 addition amplifier output signal goes to D512
filament control, and tube current is reduced to match.
J4 and J15 limit the maximum output voltage, depending
on the focus.
Note J24 does not switch over under a constant load
(such as the 0.1 sec test time).
In tomo mode, D505 generates the tube current required
value and sends it to D512 filament control.
JRO required ON can be adjusted to 50-90% with D523 R4.
D523 J23 FET switches produce a required value

kV Monitoring
Time stage J13 (t at least 40 ms, allowing exposure
indicator to be ON long enough to see it with very short
exposures) is triggered with a positive HV present signal.
J13 output combines with this signal so a 1 signal is seen
at J6.10 for at least 40 ms.
This drives the D42 S36 beam cone indicator (H12-14)
and the TG exposure counter relay signal.
HV present monitoring checks J4 addition amplifier.
Output of J4 toggles HIGH, and HV is indicated with D19

The J8 amplifier adds the actual positive and negative

transferred via D523 J12 gate for storage on D51.
Flip-flip data travels from D523 gate J3, is sent through
gates J4, J9, and J11, to D35. J4 and J9 signals are also
sent to D505, the planigraphic computer, and to D516,
the nominal value generator. On D516, the nominal
current values are corrected to match the key pressed on
D35.

When AC power is present at the supplies, V4 lights up.
Compensation is possible in the range of 380-415 V. If
the voltage drops below 380, the comparator output J1/1
is negatively saturated, and V5 lights up.
The 380 V supply is connected at U10 - T2.1, and the
415 V supply is connected at U10 - T2.17

The thyristors, Th1-4, are protected by R1, C1. These
limit voltage steepness between conductive and non-

Note 900V will destroy all thyristors in W1.
As the rotating anode accelerates, the single-tank
generator SC contactor shorts briefly at contacts 33-34,
43-44, and 53-54. For fluoro, L3 and C6 modify the
resonant circuit. During prep, the LS contactor contacts 5
and 6 short this circuit.
Release Circuit Actuation
Selected unit signals are available at unit plugs kk1, via
relays GR1-5. The signal level applied to kk1 is
programmed at D186 unit adapter.
Note Fluoro unit must be programmed as Unit 1 (G1).
Jumper T-U is required for G1 exposure release from the
generator with S27. The same is true for G2-5.
Upon exposure release, the signal goes via kk plug D186
diodes V3-4 to D517 control. From there, the signal goes
out to the selected unit on the VH contact.
The grid contact switches the signal back as the AR
signal to D517 control, then to D506 exposure counter.
The KS contactor switches over, with the VH signal, to
separate the rotating anode from the main DAC
converter. (W1 is used during prep to accelerate the
anode. It coasts during exposure.)
Required Value Signal Generator J23 switches over if the radiography kV are taken over
from the fluoro control (bridge U closed).
D47 counter values are decoded by J13 into analog
voltages. J18 sets divider J22 for the maximum generator output.
kVsoll is adjusted at 102 kV. Output of J16 is adjusted to Jumper AB and EF: 50/30 kW
10.2 V with R8. Jumper AB and FG: 50/20 kW
Without jumper AB, output can be reduced with pot R64.
J11.7 sets the required kV value for fluoro, correctable
with pot R51. Adjust at 110 kV. J18 input voltage is obtained from J3 constant voltage
source. J22 divider calculates the current required value
Switch S1 test allows fluoro release for service. Use R60 from the power P and the adjusted kV.
to adjust this value.
J11.1 operation amp sets the tube current for fluoro,
based on adjusted kV. Adjust with R57 at 110 kV.
To avoid overshooting the HV at power on, the required
kV values rise in a ramp.
J29 opens when the signal DAC is off. J15 output voltage
runs with the time constant of R7 and C8 to the required
-kV value. J29 switches over the required values for
fluoro and radioscopy.
Resistor R13 is adjusted so a 1 signal is seen at J17.6
output, when radiographic kV exceeds 80 kV. This signal
is used on D512 filament control.
kVactual is adjusted at 102 kV with R62.
Rotating Anode Starter
The rotating anode is operated with the W1 converter
bridge. C5 is the oscillation circuit capacitor, and CP is
the phase-shift capacitor. Converter voltage is applied to
the anode circuit with the KS contactor. J15 oscillator
provides 419-431 Hz, measurable at TP M3.
With ZB on, J20 uses this frequency to time for 1 second
the driving of J29, which release ignition pulses, also
created from the J15 frequency. After the acceleration
time, the system pauses 1 second, then drives again for
50 ms. At this time the rotating anode drive DAC SS
relay is released with ZB.
The NL relay prevents the DAC from starting before the
KS contactor has reliable switched over.
The anode oscillating current is checked by R6 and J10.
J25 and J19 compare it to the drive frequency. If the
oscillation current is missing, J7 turns off the BR1 signal.
A brake direct current, via BS and V2, flows through the
rotating anode windings 1.2 seconds after ZB is switched
off.
Short Circuit Monitoring
J9 addition amplifier checks the positive actual value
against the required value. If they match, output J9.6
goes to negative saturation. A short is reported if the
values differ by more than 0.5 V, and output J9.6 positive
saturation.
Capacitor C11 lengthens the response time out of J9.
Diode v4 puts out 0.5 V, current-limited by R29 resistor.
An identical circuit checks the negative actual value
against the required value.
If either monitoring responds (+ or - kV), J3 generates a
BLOCK signal to blank the tube symbol display on S36,
and to stop the exposure.
J3 flipflop can be reset by switching D517 S2 off briefly,
or by cycling generator power.
Unit Selection The J5 optocoupler sends a 0 to J15 when fluoro is
selected from the unit (externally). This automatically
