(1) I L3E-BM5109
1. GENERAL
The RF power amplifier has been developed for use in MRI systems. For
quadruple RF power delivery (QD method), the amplifier is provided with four
output terminals. The power amplifier uses highly reliable MOS FET devices
because they will work very stably against any load fluctuation. All the
component units are of a module type and-they are connected to each other via
connectors to build up the power amplifier, which facilities the maintenance
very much.
2. OPERATION
2.1 Precautions
l Both the front and rear of the amplifier should not be closed
when the amplifier is operated.
l If the amplifier is shut down, locate and remove the cause before
restarting it. If it is put into operation again without doing so, a
fault may possible take place.
(3) Troubleshooting

supply to the amplifier and return the amplifier to Kashiwa
Works, Hitachi Medical Corporation. Never try to open the cover
and get access to the interior since a danger may possibly take
place.

(1) After making sure that the lever of the power on/off switch (fuse-
free breaker) @ is placed at OFF (lower position), connect the 200
V-AC cable (with M4 lug) to the 200 V-AC connector @.
(2) Check that the RF input level and frequency are correct, and then
connect the input cable to the RF input connector 0.
(3) Connect all the other cables to the connectors at the rear panel.
Connect a load of 5OL2 or so to the RF output terminal @ without
fail.
(4) Turn the lever of the power switch @ at the front panel to ON
(upper position).

checking its output. Make sure that the indications FWDl to FWD4
vary little. If the output level differs 20% or more under the same
loading conditions, the FINAL PA module is considered to be faulty.
The references for meter indications are as follows (the output
indications for the FINAL PA modules are FWDl, FWDB, FWD3 and
FWD4, and RFDl, RFD2, RFD3 and RFD4 as counted from above):
l FwDltoFwD4
1.25 KWpep (with load VSWR of 1.1 or less) in 100% range
l RFD1 to RFD4
0.6 KWpep (with load VSWR of 6) in 100% range
The RFD LED located on the front panel is illuminated when the
load connected to the FINAL PA modules is determined to be
VSWR of 6 or more. At the same time, the PA unit is shut down
for protection. The “shut-down” information is sent to outside via
the control connector (11) at the rear panel. The PA unit is
restarted again by turning on the power supply again.

Located at the lowest portion inside the PA unit chassis and has
functions: RF power amplification, DC power distribution, control
signal reception, quadruple RF power delivery, and phase control.
The RF power gain is about 40 dB.

2.6.1 Disassembling
Before starting the replacement, disconnect the power cord from the
power outlet without fail against any danger.
At the PA unit
(1) Remove four M3 screws (6) in the four corners of the front
panel/CONTROL unit (2). Detach the front panel (2) from the PA
unit body, and you will find the modules there.
(4) Take out the module from inside the PA unit chassis, and insert a
fresh one into place in the chassis.
NOTE: For replacement of the PRE AMP module, disconnect the cable E as well.
At the PS unit
(1) Loosen the screws in the fan units and detach the fan units.
Then remove M3 screws (7) from the rear panel. You will thus be
(2) Take out any to-be-replaced part inside the PS unit. After
replacement of the part, reversely follow the step @ above to
reassemble the PS unit.
