ATTENTION
LES APPAREILS À RAYONS X SONT DANGEREUX À LA FOIS POUR LE PATIENT ET POUR LE MANIPULATEUR
SI LES MESURES DE PROTECTION NE SONT PAS STRICTEMENT APPLIQUEES
Bien que cet appareil soit construit selon les normes de sécurité les plus sévères, la source de rayonnement X représente un danger
lorsque le manipulateur est non qualifié ou non averti. Une exposition excessive au rayonnement X entraîne des dommages à l’organisme.
Par conséquent, toutes les précautions doivent être prises pour éviter que les personnes non autorisées ou non qualifiées utilisent cet
appareil créant ainsi un danger pour les autres et pour elles–mêmes.
Avant chaque manipulation, les personnes qualifiées et autorisées à se servir de cet appareil doivent se renseigner sur les mesures de
protection établies par la Commission Internationale de la Protection Radiologique, Annales 60 : Recommandations de la Commission
Internationale sur la Protection Radiologique et les normes nationales en vigueur.

WARNING
X–RAY EQUIPMENT IS DANGEROUS TO BOTH PATIENT AND OPERATOR
UNLESS MEASURES OF PROTECTION ARE STRICTLY OBSERVED
Though this equipment is built to the highest standards of electrical and mechanical safety, the useful x–ray beam becomes a source of
danger in the hands of the unauthorized or unqualified operator. Excessive exposure to x–radiation causes damage to human tissue.
Therefore, adequate precautions must be taken to prevent unauthorized or unqualified persons from operating this equipment or exposing
themselves or others to its radiation.
Before operation, persons qualified and authorized to operate this equipment should be familiar with the Recommendations of the Interna-
tional Commission on Radiological Protection, contained in Annals Number 60 of the ICRP, and with applicable national standards.

ATENCION
LOS APARATOS DE RAYOS X SON PELIGROSOS PARA EL PACIENTE Y EL MANIPULADOR
CUANDO LAS NORMAS DE PROTECCION NO ESTAN OBSERVADAS
Aunque este aparato está construido según las normas de seguridad más estrictas, la radiación X constituye un peligro al ser manipulado
por personas no autorizadas o incompetentes. Una exposición excesiva a la radiación X puede causar daños al organismo.
Por consiguiente, se deberán tomar todas las precauciones necesarias para evitar que las personas incompetentes o no autorizadas
utilicen este aparato, lo que sería un peligro para los demás y para sí mismas.
Antes de efectuar las manipulaciones, las personas habilitadas y competentes en el uso de este aparato, deberán informarse sobre las
normas de protección fijadas por la Comisión Internacional de la Protección Radiológica, Anales No 60: Recomendaciónes de la Comi-
sión Internacional sobre la Protección Radiológica y normas nacionales.

ACHTUNG
RÖNTGENAPPARATE SIND EINE GEFAHR FÜR PATIENTEN SOWIE BEDIENUNGSPERSONAL,
WENN DIE GELTENDEN SICHERHEITSVORKEHRUNGEN NICHT GENAU BEACHTET WERDEN
Dieser Apparat entspricht in seiner Bauweise strengsten elektrischen und mechanischen Sichereitsnormen, doch in den Händen unbe-
fugter oder unqualifizierter Personen wird er zu einer Gefahrenquelle. Übermäßige Röntgenbestrahlung ist für den menschlichen Orga-
nismus schädlich.
Deswegen sind hinreichende Vorsichtsmaßnahmen erforderlich, um zu verhindern, daßunbefugte oder unqualifizierte Personen solche
Geräte bedienen oder sich selbst und andere Personen deren Bestrahlung aussetzen können.
Vor Inbetriebnahme dieses Apparats sollte sich das qualifizierte und befugte Bedienungspersonal mit den geltenden Kriterien für den ge-
fahrlosen Strahleneinsatz durch sorgfältiges Studium des Hefts Nr. 60 der Internationalen Kommission für Strahlenschutz (ICRP) vertraut
machen: Empfehlungen der Internationalen Kommission für Strahlenschutz und anderer nationaler Normenbehörden.

CHAPTER 1 – INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION
SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION

1–1 Chapter Overview

This chapter presents the Senographe DMR installation procedures. The wiring and room
layout requirements for the product are covered in the Pre–Installation Manual.

1–2 Inspection for Damage

The Senographe DMR was completely inspected for proper operation and appearance before
shipment. However, it is necessary to inspect the product after the shipment is received. Visu-
ally inspect the packages for any apparent damage. If there are signs of damage, refer the mat-
ter to the shipping company immediately.

Open the packages and refer to the Product Delivery Instructions (PDI). Verify that items on
the list are present in the package. Carefully examine the contents for small parts.

SECTION 2
DESCRIPTION OF DELIVERED EQUIPMENT

D See the Pre-installation Manual for a description of the delivered equipment.


D If your equipment is delivered with the new magnification plastic cassette holder
(pn 2147919), DO not USE the contact mode in magnification configuration.

The new plastic Bucky and carbon Bucky are not compatible since the plastic
CAUTION Bucky is higher by 7 mm. Also the Senographe DMR needs to be calibrated accord-
ing to the Bucky.

SECTION 3
HOW TO USE THE CONSOLE IN INSTALLATION MODE

3–1 Introduction

This section describes how to use the Senographe DMR console during installation.

3–2 Application and Installation modes

Throughout the Senographe DMR documentation, reference is made to the application mode
and to the installation mode to differentiate between normal operation of the product by a
doctor and operation of the product during installation.

Each time the Senographe DMR is turned on the software automatically starts up in applica-
tion mode.

For information on using the Senographe DMR in application mode, refer to the Operator
Manual.

1–1
GE Medical Systems SENOGRAPHE DMR V2
REV 4 sm 2118407–104

Two major Senographe DMR components must be installed – the generator and the gantry.
Therefore, there are two separate installation phases, one for the generator and one for the
INSTALLATION

gantry (see Section 3–4).

3–3 Description of the Console

Illustration 1–1 shows the Senographe DMR console. When the Senographe DMR is in appli-
cation mode, the six keys below the display window correspond to the functions that their
respective symbol markings indicate (focal spot, track, filter, etc. – refer to the Operator
Manual for explicit details).

On the other hand, when the Senographe DMR is in installation mode, the function of each
of these six keys depends on the procedure being performed and is displayed on the bottom
line of the display window adjacent to the corresponding key.

To enter installation mode, press the SETUP key once. To return immediately to

application mode, press the SETUP key again.

Illustration 1–2 shows the console before and after entry to the installation mode. Section 1
of this illustration shows a typical console display during normal application mode use. Sec-
tion 2 shows the appearance of the display window when, having started from application

mode, the SETUP key is pressed once.

3–4 Accessing the Generator or Gantry Installation Mode from the Console

INSTALLATION
Menu access paths: SETUP/GENE/INSTAL OR SETUP/ARM/VALID/INSTAL

To access the generator or gantry installation mode starting from application mode, follow
this sequence:

1. Press the SETUP key .

2. To get access to the generator and gantry installation menus, change the position of the
installation menu enable switch (switch B1–8 on generator CPUboard 400–PL3) from
its position prior to power-up to the opposite position (see Illustration 1–3).
3. Select the sub–assembly to be installed (GENE or ARM for generator or gantry, respec-
tively).
4. For the gantry ONLY, press the VALID key.
5. Select the INSTAL menu.
Note: The MAINTENANCE menu is not accessible during installation of the Senographe
DMR.

6. You now have access to the installation menus of the sub–assembly selected (generator
or gantry).
Note: The position of the installation menu enable switch is memorized each time the Seno-
graphe DMR is turned on. Until the machine is again turned off (or the default parame-
ters are re–loaded via the generator’s CLEAR menu, see Section 3–8), this memorized
position is the installation-menu-access-disabled position, and the opposite position is
the installation-menu-access-enabled position. The significance of the switch’s position
thus depends upon its position at power–up.

When you have finished using the Senographe DMR installation mode, you must
CAUTION turn off the Senographe DMR before handing over the machine to the user. In this
way, when the machine is turned on again, access to the installation mode will be
automatically locked out (see Note above).

Illustration 1–4 shows the sequence for accessing generator installation mode.

3–6 Accessing the Different Installation Menus in the Tree Structure

INSTALLATION
Once you have followed the installation mode access procedure given in Section 3–4, you
can go down into the various installation menus by selecting them progressively using the
six keys below the console display window (see Section 3–5).

To move upward in the tree structure, press the SETUP key once for each change

of level desired. This is useful for going from one branch of the tree structure to another dur-
ing installation procedures, or if you accidentally go into an unwanted branch.

3–7 Saved Parameters and Checksum

a. Parameters resulting from installation or non–proprietary maintenance procedures


are saved in two memory zones (one in the generator and one in the gantry) whose
contents are not lost when the DMR is switched off.
b. To perform a saved parameter memory checksum, go to the CKSUM menu for the
generator or gantry and run this function. You can now return to application mode
without receiving a checksum error message.
c. It is not mandatory to do a checksum each time you leave a menu. There is no risk
of losing data if you switch off the Senographe displaying checksum error from
generator (or gantry).
The only purpose of checksum error is to lock the application mode against any
random data change. When you perform the checksum you only tell the software
that you accept the data you have changed (that is, either data entered manually or
calibration data).

3–8 Re–loading of Default (Initial) Parameters


INSTALLATION

THE FUNCTIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION ARE NORMALLY NEV-


WARNING ER USED AFTER THE DMR HAS LEFT THE FACTORY.

To re–load the generator or gantry default parameters (prior to any installation or calibration
procedures), use the appropriate CLEAR menu. The use of this menu executes a software
power–up that is comparable to the very first hardware power–up of the generator or gantry.

When the generator CLEAR menu is used, the DMR leaves the installation menus and returns
to the application mode. In order to re–access the installation mode after performing a genera-
tor CLEAR, you must change the position of the installation menu enable switch (see Section
3–4).

When the gantry CLEAR menu is used, the DMR returns to the gantry installation entry level
(SETUP/ARM/VALID).

Following use of the CLEAR menu, the software displays a CHECKSUM ERROR message.
All generator or gantry calibration procedures must be performed, followed by a CKSUM
to enable use of the new parameters.

USE OF THE GENERATOR CLEAR MENU RESETS, FROM A SOFTWARE


WARNING POINT OF VIEW, THE THERMAL CONDITION OF CRITICAL COMPO-
NENTS (TUBE, TUBE HOUSING, GENERATOR, ETC.) TO A COLD CONDI-
TION. THIS MEANS THAT THE SOFTWARE THERMAL PROTECTIONS
CAN NO LONGER DETECT AN EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURE RISE
IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING USE OF THIS MENU.

THE GENERATOR CLEAR MENU MUST THEREFORE BE USED WITH


CARE, ESPECIALLY WHEN OPERATIONS JUST PRIOR TO ITS USE HAVE
SIGNIFICANTLY RAISED CRITICAL COMPONENT TEMPERATURES (e.g.
NUMEROUS HIGH–POWER AND/OR LENGTHY EXPOSURES).

The existing parameters are PERMANENTLY LOST when a CLEAR menu is


CAUTION executed – a COMPLETE RE–CALIBRATION of the assembly (generator or
gantry) must therefore be performed.

3–9 Returning to the Application Mode

INSTALLATION
To return to the application mode press the SETUP key n times, where n is the

number of levels that you have gone down the installation tree structure.

Note: If you have performed any calibration procedures, or otherwise changed any saved pa-
rameter values, you must perform a saved parameter memory checksum before return-
ing to the application mode (see Section 3–7) – if you do not perform this checksum, then
you will receive a CHECKSUM ERROR message.

Note: If you switch off the DMR for any reason and then switch it on again, you must once
again change the position of the installation menu enable switch before being able to get
access to the installation mode (see Section 3–4).

3–10 Generator Configuration Parameters

3–10–1 Gantry Present/Absent (PRS_A)

Menu access path: SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/CONFIG/CONFIG/PRS_A

The generator installation software provides access to a parameter called PRS_A (PReS-
ence_Arm), whose value can be set to either YES or NO. The value of PRS_A indicates, from
a generator software point of view, the presence or absence of the gantry, i.e. possibility or
not of communication with the gantry CPU.

The service engineer may set PRS_A to NO to isolate the generator from the gantry during
troubleshooting (from the point of view of the generator software, the gantry becomes a sim-
ple tube stand).

Following a generator CLEAR (see section 3–8) PRS_A takes on the value NO.

PRS_A is kept in the saved parameter memory, which means that its value is retained when
power is turned off. This means that if, during a service call, the service engineer has to set
PRS_A to NO it must be set back to YES before handing back the DMR to the customer.

The value of PRS_A can be set by following the menu access path shown above, selecting
YES or NO and performing a CKSUM.

3–10–2 Display of Parameters Following an Exposure


INSTALLATION

Menu access path: SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/CONFIG/DISP

To simplify the service engineer’s work, the software can display certain parameters follow-
ing an exposure. These parameters are displayed on the console display window in two
groups which appear alternately:

kv mAs mA Time I heater

and

offset photo-cell photo-cell corrected thickness


HV measurement photo-cell
result measurement
result

Where:

offset = offset of photo-cell measurement (dark current + electrical offset)


photo-cell measurement result = photo-cell/mA measurement
corrected photo-cell measurement result = corrected according to DMR configuration
thickness = breast thickness in equivalent cm of plexiglass.

This DISP parameter is turned on and off by following the menu access path shown above.
Select YES or NO. A CKSUM is NOT necessary because this parameter is not a saved param-
eter. When power is turned off, the value of DISP is lost and reverts to NO at the next power–
up.

1–26
GE Medical Systems SENOGRAPHE DMR V2
REV 4 sm 2118407–104

3–10–3 Calendar and Clock

INSTALLATION
Menu access path: SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/CONFIG/DATE

The generator CPU is equipped with a calendar and clock that are used for the following func-
tions:

D Thermal protection cooling algorithms, whether or not the generator is turned on.
D Memorization of the date and time of an equipment failure.
D Last date of access to the installation mode.
The last function makes it possible for a service engineer to verify the date and time of the
last service visit and also determine whether access to the installation modes was made by
unauthorized persons since that visit.

The date is modified by following the menu access path shown above, selecting DATE, then

NEXT and, finally, rotating the kv dial to obtain the desired day. Select NEXT

again and rotate the kv dial to obtain the desired month. Repeat once more to obtain the de-
sired year, then select VALID to confirm the date.

Note: The date is entered in the form DD/MM/YY (for example, if the date to be entered is Feb-
ruary 14th, 2001, you must enter 14/02/01).

The time is modified by following the menu access path shown above and then selecting
HOUR. Enter the time of day as explained above for the date, using the NEXT, kv dial and
VALID functions.

Note: The time of day is entered in 24-hour format, therefore, if the time of day is 3:13:27 pm,
you must enter 15:13:27.

Note: Following a generator CLEAR of saved parameters, the calendar and clock, as well as
the last installation mode access date, are initialized to the release date of the generator
software version at 0:00:00.

3–10–4 Visual Representation of Numerical Parameters

When displayed on the console, most numerical values appear in the form of real numbers
in scientific notation floating point format with four significant figures.

Some examples are:

–1.250E+3 = –1250.00
+4.345E–1 = 0.4345
+1.000E+0 = 1.000

1–27
GE Medical Systems SENOGRAPHE DMR V2
REV 4 sm 2118407–104

3–10–5 Visual Display of Parameter Values


INSTALLATION

A parameter value can be displayed on the DMR console by accessing the calibration menus
for the procedures that compute the parameter in question. Typically this is done when you
are at a menu choice between CALIB and PARAM. Select PARAM to display the parameter
value.

Note: If the calibration procedure computes more than one parameter, turning the kv

dial will display them one at a time in sequence.

As an example, looking at the values of scale factor K and offset voltage VOF of tube track
1 which are computed by the heater current scale factor calibration routine: follow the menu
access path SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/GENE/HTR_SCL/TRACK1/PARAM.

On the right of the first console display line appears the value of scale factor K. Rotate the
kv dial clockwise by one position. Now offset voltage VOF appears instead.

CAUTION DO NOT attempt to modify these calibrated parameter values.

3–10–6 Modification of a Parameter Value or Entry of a Measurement

Parameters are entered or modified in scientific notation form.

When at the parameter value modification or measurement entry level in the menu structure,
there are two possible selections: NEXT and VALID. Begin by selecting NEXT. This enables
modification of the first character to be entered. Successive selections of NEXT will enable
modification of each character to be entered.

Use the kv dial to modify the character being entered. Select VALID when all

characters are correctly entered.

NEVER modify a parameter value on a DMR that has already been calibrated un-
CAUTION less you have a specific reason. Doing so, in general, will necessitate entering the de-
fault parameter value(s) and completely re–calibrating the sub–assembly
(generator or gantry) for the parameter value(s) in question.

1–28
GE Medical Systems SENOGRAPHE DMR V2
REV 4 sm 2118407–104

As an example, set the maximum exposure time to 5.7 (+5.700E+0) seconds, follow the menu
access path SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/CONFIG/CONFIG/T_MAX, select NEXT

INSTALLATION
and turn the kv dial to set the sign of the value to be entered (in this example,

the value is positive +). Select ”NEXT again. Turn the kv dial to set the value of the first digit
to 5. Continue selecting NEXT and turning the kv dial until you have input +5.700E+0 (man-
tissa sign and four digits plus exponent sign and one digit). If you make a mistake, select
NEXT repeatedly until you arrive at the faulty value, then correct it by rotating the kV dial.
If you truly wish to enter the parameter value, select VALID, keeping the above CAUTION
in mind before doing so! To exit the modification routine, press SETUP once.

Note: Pressing the VALID key is effective ONLY when the entire value, including exponent,
is displayed. This means that if you correct a digit after making a mistake, as described
above, you must press the NEXT key repeatedly until the entire parameter value is vis-
ible before being able to enter the new value using the VALID key.

3–10–7 Entry of an Alpha–Numeric Value

This is the case when entering screen pair names (seven characters maximum allowed).

The principle is identical to that used for parameter value entry as described in Section

3–10–6 (repeated use of NEXT, kv dial and VALID).

Here, rotation of the kv dial gives access to the following characters:

The 26 letters of the alphabet


The ten digits from 0 to 9
The colon :

The choice of a screen pair name is confirmed by pressing VALID.

3–11 Principles of Generator Calibration


INSTALLATION

3–11–1 Vocabulary

The following key words are found throughout the generator installation menus:

CALIB designates a menu that steers you to the calibration procedure itself.

PARAM designates a menu that steers you to other menus that allow you to display and
modify parameters.

CHANGE designates a menu that allows you to modify a parameter.

REF designates a menu within a calibration procedure that allows you to modify the com-
mand input (mAs for reference energy, photo-cell HV for the frequency/HV calibration, heat-
er current for the heater current scale factor calibration, etc...).

CALCUL designates a menu that steers you to the execution of the computations necessary
to obtain the parameter values.

3–11–2 Use of the First Trigger/Second Trigger Buttons During Generator Installation

In general, calibration computations are started by pressing the SECOND TRIGGER button
(the FIRST TRIGGER button is not used during installation).

After going down through the different menus, the final CALIB selection steers you to a
menu that has no second line displayed on the console display window (i.e. there are no more
menus to select). It is at this level that the calibration computation is started by pressing the
SECOND TRIGGER button.

This general rule does not apply, for practical reasons, when measurements on the gantry
are necessary (because the gantry and generator/console may be physically separated, the ser-
vice engineer cannot necessarily be near both at the same time). For example:

– Calibration of photo-cell HV measurement. The command input is sent upon selection


of the START key and is removed upon selection of the STOP key. For this calibration
procedure, the service engineer has to measure the photo-cell HV on the photo-cell
board, which is attached to the gantry, and enter the result via the HV_M menu.

– HV/DAC calibration. The computation is started upon selection of the START key and
stops automatically. A message appears on the console display to indicate the end of
the computation.

3–11–3 Inhibit Conditions Due to Gantry Absence

The AOP calibration procedures (CELL and ALGO) need to exchange information with the
gantry CPU.

Therefore, before performing these calibration procedures, it is necessary to set the value of
PRS_A to YES (see Section 3–10–1) otherwise, error messages indicating software absence
of the gantry will appear on the console display and access to the CALIB menus is inhibited
(only display and modification of parameters will be possible).

1–30
GE Medical Systems SENOGRAPHE DMR V2
REV 4 sm 2118407–104

3–11–4 Inhibit Conditions Due to Grid Absence/Presence

INSTALLATION
Many of the AEC calibration procedures are performed with grid and without grid. For such
procedures, the gantry CPU indicates to the generator CPU whether or not the grid is present.
The calibration software will verify agreement between physical presence/absence of the
grid and the service engineer’s choice of calibration with grid or without grid. If there is dis-
agreement, error messages will appear and access to the CALIB menu will be inhibited.

3–11–5 Displayed Messages During Exposure–Producing Calibration Procedures

The following messages are displayed in the upper right–hand corner of the console display
during calibration procedures that make X–ray exposures:

Exposure number (when exposure is valid)


Arcing
Failure (return to application mode for explicit message)
Excessive temperature
End of series of exposures

Certain calibration procedures that make X–ray exposures insert, in alternation with the
above messages, specific messages such as:

Too much plexi


Not enough plexi
Reduce HV, same point

3–11–6 Other Displayed Messages

In general the software displays, as much as possible, messages indicating the phases of cali-
bration such as:

Calibration end
Calcul done

SECTION 5
INSTALLATION STEERING
INSTALLATION

The installation of the DMR must be performed according to the CONTENT as


CAUTION well as the CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER given in this section. Failure to do so can
result in faulty calibration of the product and subsequent loss of performance.

Note: Use the installation flow chart (illustration 1–16) as a memo to assist you during the
installation.
Use calibration form (IST 043) to record all values obtained.

1. Unpack generator, gantry and accessories. See Job Card IST 008 UNPACKING THE
EQUIPMENT.
2. Physically place/anchor gantry, generator, console, protective glass screen, pedals, etc.
(see Job Card IST 009 PHYSICAL INSTALLATION).
3. Attach appropriate safety labelling to the equipment according to local regulations (see
Job Card IST 038 SAFETY LABELLING).

The attachment of appropriate safety labelling to the equipment is a LEGAL RE-


CAUTION QUIREMENT for operation of an X–ray producing unit.

4. Remove all side covers and trim panels from generator and gantry (see Job Card IST
032 REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF SIDE COVERS AND TRIM PANELS).
5. Unlock the tube angulation: refer to the red sheet attached to the gantry for details.
D Remove the locking spacer and tyrap, located near the tube angulation motor.
D Reconnect connector XJ1 on board 800PL1.
6. Inspect inside of generator and gantry for loose or disconnected cables, wires, connec-
tors, etc. Refer to MIS maps if necessary.
7. Connect cables between generator, console, and gantry and check the vent screw on the
HV tank(see Job Card IST 010).
8. Connect mains supply to generator and configure generator for mains voltage, frequen-
cy and number of phases (see Job Card IST 011 ”CONNECTION OF MAINS SUP-
PLY).

Do not attempt to turn on the DMR at this point. Continue following the Installa-
CAUTION tion Steering in the chronological order provided.

9. Measure mains line resistance and determine maximum allowable generator power (see
Job Card IST 012 LINE RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT).
Note: If a high-power installation (50 kW or more) is known to exist on the same mains circuit
as the DMR being installed, it is not necessary to measure line resistance. In this case,
set maximum generator power to 5.0 kW (maximum possible value) when you reach
step 14.–a.–ii below. DO NOT SET MAXIMUM GENERATOR POWER NOW. FOL-

Enter manually the three reciprocity law failure compensation parameters (A0, A1
and A2) either from table 1 or from your own notes from a previous installation of
the same screen pair on another DMR for the screen and film of the screen pair be-
ing calibrated:

Starting from application mode, select SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/AOP/


ALGO/FSC=x/CALIB/LNRT/PARAM on the console, where x is the screen
pair indicator (A,B,C,D,E) corresponding to the screen pair being calibrated. See
Job Card IST 006 SCREEN PAIR SELECTION AND CONFIGURATION.

At this point, enter the three parameter values by using the CHANGE key, rotating
the kV dial and using the NEXT, VALID and SETUP keys. See sections 3–10–5
INSTALLATION

and 3–10–6.
If this is an additional DMR, at the same site, using the same processor, then as soon
as the three parameter values are correctly entered, go IMMEDIATELY to Job
Card IST 014 CALIBRATION OF REFERENCE ENERGY FOR A GIVEN
SCREEN PAIR. Once this calibration is finished, go directly to step f. below.
Otherwise, go directly to Job Card IST 013 CALIBRATION OF FILM REC-
IPROCITY FAILURE COMPENSATION FOR A GIVEN SCREEN PAIR. Once
this calibration is finished, write down the newly–determined parameters A0, A1
and A2 for the screen pair being calibrated in table 1.
f. Calibrate magnification correction.
Perform the calibration given in Job Card IST 015 MAGNIFICATION CORREC-
TION FOR A GIVEN SCREEN PAIR.

g. AOP strategy: this parameter is determined automatically at the end of IST013 or


IST014 reference energy calibration. So the manual setting of the AOP strategy
(IST039) is no longer necessary.
Note: However, it there are several senographe DMR installed on the same site, it may be nec-
essary to “equalize” all the strategies to the same value, to avoid unjustified mAs devi-
ation between identical senographes. For this purpose only, it is still possible to read/set
the strategy value. Starting from application mode, select:
SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/AOP/ALGO/FSC=x/STRAT
Where x is the screen pair indicator (A, B, C, D, or E).
See IST039 for further reference.
This equalization must only be done if the DMRs are using the same film/screen couple,
same film processor, same SID.

h. Calibrate photo-cell in Stereotix 2 positions.

Note: This step is not applicable for non–Stereotix 2 installations.

Perform the calibration in Job Card IST 018 CALIBRATION OF photo-cell IN


STEREOTIX 2 POSITIONS.

j. If the AEC calibration for the screen pair being calibrated is successful and com-
plete at this point (which is normally the case) be sure that this screen pair is en-
abled for use in application mode (see Job Card IST 006 SCREEN PAIR
SELECTION AND CONFIGURATION.
21. Test for absence of grid lines on exposed film.
See Job Card IST 031 TEST FOR ABSENCE OF GRID LINES ON EXPOSED FILM.

Starting from application mode, select SETUP/GENE/MEDICAL/LANGUAGE/
language on the console, where language is the desired console dialog display lan-
guage (FRANC, ENGL, DEUTS, ESPAN, ITALI or PORTU).

23. At this step, a calibration backup can be done. Then, in case of a system crash, the cal-
ibration backup can be used or the system can be completely recalibrated following the
process in chapter 2.
24. Perform safety checks (collimator size for example) if applicable from local regula-
tions.

screen pair given in the Installation Steering in chapter 1, and the AEC flow chart (see illustra-
tion 1–18 in Chapter 1).
CALIBRATION

SECTION 5
AEC CALIBRATION ON STEREOTIX 2

When the Stereotix 2 option is installed after initial installation of a Senographe DMR, follow
the sequence given below:

1. set up and calibrate the Stereotix 2 according to the Stereotix 2 Service Manual
2. calibrate photocell in Stereotix 2 positions (see Job Card IST 018)
3. Calibrate reference energy in Stereotix 2 mode (see Job Card IST 019).

FOR SAFETY REASONS IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE GANTRY IS AN-


WARNING CHORED TO THE FLOOR WITH 3 BOLTS WHEN A SENOGRAPHE DMR IS
EQUIPPED WITH THE STEREOTIX 2 (see Job Card IST 009).

SECTION 6
RE–CALIBRATION OF REFERENCE OPTICAL DENSITY IN NON–STEREOTIX 2 MODE

To re–calibrate the reference optical density, follow the sequence below:

1. Set up the following exposure:


D any compression paddle installed
D contact (no magnification)
D grid installed
D 40 mm plexiglass on the cassette holder
D mode: AEC (1–point)
D screen pair: select the name of the screen pair being calibrated
D focal spot: LARGE
D track: MO
D filter: MO
D manual density correction: +0
D HV: 28 kV.
2. Take an exposure using a cassette and undeveloped film corresponding to the screen
pair being calibrated. Write down the resulting mAs value.
3. Perform the section entitled Calibration of Reference Energy in Job Card IST 014, but
do not use the default mAs value for the first exposure – instead, enter the mAs value
obtained in the exposure above.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
To ensure an accurate measurement:
D For ALL Digital Multimeters, the Autorange function MUST NOT be used, as it can lead to severe mea-
surement errors (>40% !!).
D For ALL Digital Multimeters, the Relative Measurement function MUST NOT be used to reset to zero
the natural offset displayed when there is no current measured. The offset is automatically reset to zero
by the principle of the rms measurement.
D Measurement configurations to be used are as follows:
a. Fluke 8060: used with 20–A shunt in the 200–mV AC range (shunt reference: 80J10).
b. Fluke 87: no shunt, in the 10–A AC range.

SECTION 3
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

In case of equipment breakdown or service engineer error during this cal-


CAUTION ibration procedure, the resulting parameter values might become so unrea-
sonable as to render the X–ray tube filament supply circuit unusable. This
can show up as an error message during power up, and thus inhibit use of the
calibration software. If this happens, the only way to cancel the error is to
manually re–enter the default parameter values (see section 5 for default
parameter values) and switch the Senographe DMR off and back on again
before again attempting a calibration.

SECTION 5
CALIBRATION OF HEATER CURRENT SCALE FACTOR
The objective is to determine the scale factor K and fixed offset VOF between the X–ray tube filament current
command from the software and the real filament current value obtained. Each tube track has its own filament
supply circuit, so this calibration procedure is to be performed for each of the two tracks.
DEFAULT PARAMETER VALUES ARE K = +9.450E+0 (9.45) AND VOF = +0.000E+0 (0.0).

5.1 Prepare the Senographe DMR for this calibration procedure.

5.1.1 Turn off the Senographe DMR.

5.1.2 Open the HV converter control signal inputs by disconnecting flat cable WG8 from generator com-
mand board 400–PL1 connector XJ7. This eliminates any possibility of energy build–up in the HV
JOB CARDS

unit during this calibration procedure.

5.1.3 Disconnect the DMR HV cable at the HV tank end.

5.1.4 Connect the HV cable to the HV unit / cable adaptor (36003399).

5.1.5 Connect the HV unit / cable adaptor to the DMR HV tank.

5.1.6 Connect the true r.m.s. AC ammeter in series with the filament being calibrated
on the HV unit / cable adaptor; and place a jumper on the other track (see illustrations 1 and 2).

Note: See “important note” in section 2 to ensure an accurate measurement.

Note: Keep the other filament connected in order to avoid error messages when the Senographe DMR
is switched on.

5.3.9 The expected results are 4.0 ± 0.02 A for the first point and 5.0 ± 0.02 A for the second point. If the
results are within these tolerances, the calibration for this X–ray tube track is finished. If the results
are out of tolerance, repeat the calibration procedure in section 5.2 and the check procedure in sec-
tion 5.3 for the same X–ray tube track.
JOB CARDS

Note: Performing the calibration procedure once is normally sufficient for correct calibration.

Note: If it is necessary to perform the calibration procedure more than once, the measured values of cur-
rent for the two points (4.0 and 5.0 A) should become increasingly accurate. If not, the procedure
is probably not being followed correctly.

5.3.10 Select SETUP/SETUP/SETUP/PARAM on the console. Note down the calculated values of scale
factor K and offset VOF. Each of these two values can be displayed alternately by rotating the kV
dial on the console.

If the value of K is less than +8.000E+0 (8.0), either the calibration procedure
CAUTION was done incorrectly or there is a hardware defect.

5.3.11 Repeat the calibration and check procedures on the other tube track, if necessary.

5.3.12 Perform a ”CKSUM”, then turn the system off

5.3.13 Re–connect flat cable WG8 to generator command board 400–PL1 connector XJ7, remove high

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

In case of equipment breakdown or service engineer error during this cal-


CAUTION ibration procedure, the resulting parameter values might become so unrea-
sonable as to render the X–ray tube focal bias voltage supply circuit
unusable. This can show up as an error message during power up, and thus
inhibit use of the calibration software. If this happens, the only way to cancel
the error is to manually re–enter the default parameter values (see section 5
for these values) and switch the Senographe DMR off and back on again
before again attempting a calibration.

of MO/SF ±5% for the second point (see section 5.1.10 for these values). If the results are within
these tolerances, the focal bias voltage calibration is finished. If the results are out of tolerance,
repeat the calibration procedure in section 5.2 and the check procedure in section 5.3.

Note: Performing the calibration procedure once is normally sufficient for correct calibration.

Note: If it is necessary to perform the calibration procedure more than once, the measured values of focal
bias voltage for the two points should become increasingly accurate. If not, the procedure is prob-
ably not being followed correctly.

CURRENT Job Card IST 003 2 of 4

SECTION 5
CALIBRATION OF X–RAY TUBE HEATER CURRENT
The objective is to determine the X–ray tube heater current necessary for producing the desired X–ray tube
anode current at a given kV value.
The calibration procedure must be performed on each focal size/track combination. Four repetitions of the cal-
ibration procedure are therefore necessary.
Three exposures are taken automatically at different kV values. Using the results, the software calculates the
necessary parameters to determine the X–ray tube heater current needed to produce the desired X–ray tube
anode current for all possible kV values.

5.1 Perform the calibration procedure.

5.1.1 Perform the calibration procedure on the LF/MO focal size/track combination, then on the others
in any order (SF/MO, LF/RH, SF/RH).
JOB CARDS

5.1.2 Starting from application mode, change the position of the installation menu enable switch (switch
B1 on generator CPU board 400–PL3).

Note: This must only be done if the Senographe DMR has been switched off since the last access to SET-
UP/GENE/INSTAL or SETUP/ARM/VALID/INSTAL

5.1.3 Select the following menu sequence on the console: SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/GENE/


TUBE/HEATER/focal size/track/CALIB

Note: /focal size/track/ must be LF/RH for the first combination performed.

To avoid excessive X-ray doses on the photo-cell tube, place an empty cassette
CAUTION on the top of the image receptor.

5.1.4 Press the 2nd trigger button and hold it down. The messages EXPOSURE NO 1, EXPOSURE NO
2, EXPOSURE NO 3 and CALIBRATION END appear sequentially on the console display. The
software automatically performs the three exposures and the calculations.

Note: Calibration time varies according to tube temperature. The message TOO WARM appears on the
console display when tube temperature is excessive for taking the next exposure. It is not neces-
sary to hold the 2nd trigger button down while waiting for the tube to cool. However, do not exit
the calibration menu while waiting. As soon as the TOO WARM message disappears, continue
the calibration by pressing the 2nd trigger button and holding it down.

Note: In case of arcing, the software re–attempts the same exposure automatically.

Note: The calibration procedure includes an exposure at 40 kV. If for some reason this exposure is
impossible to perform (e.g. excessive arcing), tube warm–up may be necessary (see Job Card IST
020 AUTOMATIC X–RAY TUBE WARM–UP).

5.1.5 Repeat sections 5.1.3 to 5.1.4 for each of the remaining focal size/track combinations.

5.1.6 Perform this step only if a warning message is displayed.


The generator firmware can display the Limited Ich message on the console at the end of the
tube–current calibration IST 003. This message is only a warning and therefore not associated
with an error code.
Limited Ich (limited heater current) means that one or more filament heating current values were
calculated above 5.6 A (but internally limited to 5.600 A when stored in memory). To handle
this warning, proceed as follows:

1. Access the DMR installation menu to read the heater parameters (the path is: SETUP/GENE/
INSTAL/GENE/GENE/TUBE/HEATER/LF/MO/Param/I–Value). If necessary, see DMR
menu structure in service manual (Ill. 1–7).

JOB CARDS
2. Explore the 28 kV/A combinations and note the kV values showing a current value equal to
5.600 A.

3. Repeat Step 2. for the LF/RH combination (there is a very low probability of current limitation
occurring in small focus).

4. Return to Application Mode (set–up button).

5. Set the DMR for 2–point exposure technique at 60 mAs. Make an exposure for each kV point
detected at 5.600 A (LF/MO and LF/RH). Allow at least 60 seconds between each exposure.

6. Repeat Steps 1. and 2.: If no more kV point are set to 5.600 A, the problem has been resolved.
If there is still one or more points showing a current value of 5.600 A make Job Card IST 001,
then restart this procedure from Step 1 above. If the problem recurs, replace the X–ray tube.

5.2 Check the results.

5.2.1 Be sure that the gantry presence parameter PRES_A is set to YES before proceeding (see Gantry
Present/Absent in Chapter 1).

5.2.2 Activate the display of parameters following an exposure (see Display of Parameters Following an
Exposure in Chapter 1).

5.2.3 Perform a CKSUM and return to application mode.

5.2.4 Set up the Senographe DMR for a manual (2–point) exposure at 30 kV and 60 mAs. For each of
the four focal size/track combination, take an exposure following a 3-second preparation time. Note
the resulting X–ray tube anode currents displayed on the console display.

Note: A lower mAs value cannot would decrease the measurement accuracy.

SECTION 5
CALIBRATION OF PHOTO CELL SENSITIVITY AS A FUNCTION OF ITS VOLTAGE
The photo cell’s sensitivity to light varies as a function of its voltage. This phenomenon is exploited by the
Senographe DMR to compensate for all the different possible configurations encountered in application mode
(kV, SID, etc.). The Senographe DMR determines the needed photo cell sensitivity for a given configuration
and applies the appropriate photo cell HV.
The objective here is to determine the coefficients beta and gamma that define the relationship between photo
cell HV and photo cell sensitivity. A third coefficient, alpha, is always equal to zero.
DEFAULT PARAMETER VALUES ARE ALPHA = +0.000E+0 (0), BETA = +7.377E+0 (7.377) AND
GAMMA = –4.931E+1 (–49.31).

5.1 Prepare the Senographe DMR for this calibration procedure.

UP/GENE/INSTAL or SETUP/ARM/VALID/INSTAL

5.2 Choose the screen pair to be configured and calibrated.


Starting from application mode, select SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/AOP/ALGO/FSC=x on the con-
sole, where x is the screen pair indicator (A,B,C,D or E) corresponding to one of the 5 possible screen pairs
JOB CARDS

to be calibrated.

Note: Do not confuse the screen pair indicator with the screen pair name, which is chosen via the proce-
dure in section 5.6. While the 5 screen pair indicators cannot be changed and do not appear in
application mode, each of them can be assigned a screen pair name corresponding to the film/cas-
sette combination used, which appears on the console display in application AOP (0–point) and
AEC (1–point) modes.

5.3 Enable/disable screen pair.


Select SETUP/VALID on the console. This function gives the possibility to enable or disable the use of the
screen pair in application. Select NO to disable and YES to enable the screen pair.
D If yes is selected, then complete the entire calibration of the screen pair (see flow chart of AEC / AOP
calibration; illustration 1–18; in the installation chapter 1).
D If no is selected, the user could not select the screen pair name which means that the entire calibration
of the screen pair was not completely done.

5.4 Choose screen type.


Screen type would be chosen by selecting TYPE on the console. However, the present version of the Seno-
graphe DMR does not provide any options for screen type. If you select TYPE, be sure to select SETUP before
proceeding to the next section.

5.5 Choose default AOP strategy.


Select STRAT/MEDIUM on the console.

Note: This default AOP strategy value will be verified and changed, if necessary, at the end of screen
pair calibration. This value has no effect on screen pair calibration.

5.6 Choose screen pair name.


Select SETUP/NAME on the console. Enter and validate the desired screen pair name, which can contain up
to 7 characters (A to Z, 0 to 9, and colon ”:”) – see Entry of an Alpha–Numeric Value in Chapter 1 for informa-
tion on entering alpha–numeric values.
This is the name that appears on the console display in application AOP (0–point) and AEC (1–point) modes.

Note: The default screen pair name is the screen pair indicator. See section 5.2.
Typically, this name is an abbreviation of the film and cassette type used to constitute the screen pair being
used. It is a good idea to ask the doctor for suggestions for the screen pair name.

Note: This name can be changed at any time in the future without producing the need to re-perform any
calibrations on the screen pair in question.

5.7 Proceed to the screen pair calibration procedures.

13. STOP HERE and proceed to the next AEC calibration Job Card.

5.2 Information about cassettes and films used in these procedures

5.2.1 Determine whether or not the screen–less cassette simulation tool can be used.
The screen–less simulation tool can be used only if the cassette of the screen pair being calibrated
is among the following:
– KODAK Min–R 2
– FUJI MA
– AGFA–GEVAERT MAMORAY
– 3M
– DUPONT
– KONICA
If the cassette of the screen pair being installed is not among these models, the screen–less cassette
simulation tool cannot be used. In this case, a normal cassette of the type used in the screen pair
being calibrated must be used, but without its screen.

Note: If a screen–less cassette simulation tool is not available, any of the cassette models listed above,
without its screen*, can be used during calibration of any screen pair that uses any of the models
in the list. For example, if you’re calibrating a screen pair that uses the 3M cassette, you can use
a KODAK Min–R 2 cassette without its screen. However, if you are calibrating a screen pair that
uses a cassette model that is not on this list, you must use a cassette of that exact model, without
its screen.

* When removing the screen from a cassette, be sure to leave the layer of plastic foam intact in
the cassette.

5.2.2 Learn how to use the screen–less cassette simulation tool.


If used, the screen–less cassette simulation tool must always be loaded with an undeveloped film
of the type used in the screen pair being calibrated, as shown in illustration 1.

Note: It is normal for the film not to lie flat at the rear edge of the film holding area. The rear edge of
the film holding area was in fact designed to insure that the FRONT edge of the film butts up per-
fectly against the front edge of the film holding area. This is critical, because the photo-cell is
located towards the front edge of the bucky and must be maximally covered by the film.
The loaded screen–less cassette simulation tool must be installed in the Senographe DMR cassette
holder in the same way as an ordinary cassette.

Be sure to orient the simulation tool in the cassette holder with its front edge
CAUTION coinciding with the front edge of the bucky, as shown in illustration 1.
JOB CARDS

Note: Whenever the instructions in this Job Card instruct you to install the loaded cassette (without
screen) install the loaded simulation tool instead, if permitted (see section 5.2.1 above).

5.2.3 Each of the two cassettes (with and without screen) used in these procedures must be loaded with
undeveloped film of the type used in the screen pair being calibrated.
– The same two cassettes must be used for all procedures in this Job Card.
– The same undeveloped films can be left in the cassettes for all procedures in this Job
Card.
– Mark the cassette without screen clearly so as not to confuse it with the cassette with
screen (not applicable if screen–less cassette simulation tool is used).

5.3 Advance preparation if a new screen pair is being introduced


Select and configure a screen pair (see Job Card IST 006).

5.4 General instructions to be observed during all procedures in this Job Card

5.4.1 The photo-cell must be in its most forward position (towards the patient) throughout the procedures
in this Job Card.

5.4.2 When selecting plexiglass thicknesses (2, 4 or 6 cm) in the menus between exposure sequences,
never go up in the menu structure higher than indicated in the procedure being performed. Doing
so will reset stored intermediate values and ruin the calibration. Also, once all three thicknesses
have been calibrated, follow the instructions immediately for performing the calculation. Select
SETUP no more than the precise number of times indicated, again at the risk of losing intermediate
values prior to the calculation.

5.4.3 On the other hand, if an error is made during the calibration of one of the three plexiglass thicknesses
(for example, the plexiglass was incorrectly placed or is not the correct thickness), then you must
go upward in the menus (by selecting SETUP a certain number of times) at least to the level that
JOB CARDS

gives the choices GRID, SCREEN and CALIB (just below PM_YLD). Here you reset the inter-
mediate values intentionally, and you must repeat all three thickness calibrations.

5.4.4 Normally, this Job Card is used when a new screen pair is being introduced. In this case, follow the
procedures in this Job Card in the exact order shown.

5.4.5 If, however, only part of the photo-cell gain calibration is being done (e.g. because of a mistake dur-
ing a certain part of the calibration), the procedures can be performed independently of the others,
but be sure to read and carry out all preliminary preparations and procedures associated with the
procedure in question.

5.4.6 When placing plexiglass on the cassette holder or 1.5 magnification device, the plexiglass must
always overlap the front edge (towards the patient) by about 1 cm to insure that the photo-cell is
fully covered.

5.4.7 When taking a series of calibration exposures, if arcing occurs, the arcing message appears on the
console display. This does not mean that the series must be repeated (i.e. the software keeps track
of which exposures in the series were successful even if it must repeat one due to arcing). Only if
there were a serious arcing problem would the software abort the series, in which case it would have
to be repeated.

5.4.8 If you are in the middle of IST 007, and must stop, continue at another time, there are certain steps
that you need not repeat. For example:
D if you have completed step 6.4.13, then you can start with step 6.5
D if you have completed step 6.6.13, then you can start with step 6.7
D if you have completed step 6.9.12, then you can start with step 6.10.

SECTION 6
CALIBRATION OF PHOTO-CELL GAIN
The objective is to determine the X–ray absorption of the screen. The calibration software achieves this by sub-
tracting the photo-cell gain obtained with a screen from the photo-cell gain obtained without a screen.
Therefore, each configuration must be calibrated twice – once with and once without a screen.
6 coefficients are calculated for each of 5 track/filter combinations. Thus, 30 coefficients are calculated for
each of 4 different cases (2 configurations, each calibrated once with and once without a screen), for a total
of 120 coefficients.

6.1 Prepare the Senographe DMR for these procedures.

6.1.1 Starting from application mode, change the position of the installation menu enable switch (switch
B1 on generator CPU board 400–PL3).

JOB CARDS
Note: This must only be done if the Senographe DMR has been switched off since the last access to SET-
UP/GENE/INSTAL or SETUP/ARM/VALID/INSTAL

6.1.2 Set the SID to that used by the user, 610 mm or the most common 660 mm.

6.2 Prepare the Senographe DMR for the procedures using contact mode with grid (bucky 18 x 24 ).

6.2.1 Set up the Senographe DMR in the following configuration:


18 x 24 compression paddle installed
Contact (no magnification)

area).

5.1.1 Place the drilling template (provided in the installation kit) flat on the floor, align it with the desired
permanent position and mark the three gantry mounting hole centers on the floor.

5.1.2 Drill the three gantry mounting holes (depth and diameter depend on the type of insert to be used
– see below).

5.1.3 Place the appropriate type of insert (not provided) into each of the three mounting holes (depending
JOB CARDS

on the type and thickness of floor). The inserts should be able to receive the 10 x 80 mm screws (pro-
vided), or, for U.S. installations, the closest U.S. equivalent (not provided).

5.1.4 Wheel the gantry so that its three baseplate mounting holes are aligned with the three holes drilled
in the floor.

5.1.5 Place the four flat round jack feet on the floor with their nipples facing upwards.

5.1.6 Turn the four jacking bolts downwards until their hollowed ends engage with the nipples of the four
jack feet.

5.1.7 Use the ratchet wrench with a 22 mm socket to progressively jack the gantry up via the four jacking
bolts until the castors are clear of the floor.

5.1.8 Use the 8 mm Allen wrench to remove the castors.

5.1.9 Lower the gantry progressively via the four jacking bolts until it is fully supported by its baseplate.
Remove the four jacking bolts completely.

Note: The four jack feet remain below the gantry baseplate. If the floor is not perfectly even, level the
DMR base using the 4 screws PN 45562657 (provided in installation kit). Insert them in place
of the jacking blots to push on the jack feet.

5.1.10 To provide access to all three gantry baseplate mounting holes (one of the holes is located inside
the gantry column), remove the two column side panels (see IST 032 if necessary).

5.1.11 Bolt the gantry to the floor with the three 10 x 80 mm diameter screws (provided) or, for U.S. instal-
lations, the closest U.S. equivalent (not provided).

Job Card IST 011 2 of 6

SECTION 5
CONNECTING TO THE AC SUPPLY
The objective is to determine the nominal voltage and frequency of the available power source, configure the
DMR generator accordingly, and connect it to the AC supply.

5.1 Checking the nominal line voltage and frequency


Consult the user to determine the nominal line voltage and frequency, then measure the open-circuit line volt-
age to verify that it corresponds to that nominal line voltage ± 10%. Allowable nominal line voltages are 200,
208, 220, 240, 380, 415 V single-phase.

5.2 Positioning the voltage selection board


Referring to llustration 1 and Table 1, install the voltage selection board IN2 on the AC Distribution board
200-PL1 according to the nominal AC supply voltage.
JOB CARDS

5.3 Configuring the DMR according to the line frequency


The DMR operates with either a 50 or 60 Hz line frequency without adjustment.

5.4 Voltage selection


Referring to llustration 1, check the position of the wire SEL on the AC Distribution board 200-PL1 – it will
probably be connected to the 240v transformer tap. If this tap selection does not correspond to the nominal
(not the measured) line voltage you determined in section 5.1, then remove and reconnect the SEL wire to the
appropriate terminal.

Note: Do not make a connection to the 0V terminal for the SEL wire – the terminal is reserved exclu-
sively for performing the measurement in Job Card IST 012 and the DMR cannot function nor-
mally when the SEL wire is in this position.

SECTION 5
LINE RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT
The objective is to determine the resistance at the line input to the Senographe generator cabinet. The result
of this measurement may have an impact on the maximum allowable generator power (which will be set in
a later procedure).

5.1 Preparation.

5.1.1 Switch off the Senographe and set the generator power switch 200–S1 to the 0 position.

5.1.2 Disconnect voltage selection wire SEL from its normal lug on the generator board 200–PL1, and
reconnect it to the 0V lug.

Note: The 0V position of the SEL wire is reserved exclusively for this line resistance measurement. The
Senographe cannot function normally when the SEL wire is in this position. Do not attempt to
JOB CARDS

switch on the Senographe at this point – follow the instructions below.

5.1.3 Connect the ac voltmeter to the input end of the supply filter and write down the value of the open-
circuit line voltage:
V1 = ......................................

5.2 Procedure.

5.2.1 Turn the AC supply on, set the generator switch 200–S1 to the 1 position.

Note: Read the next step completely before performing it because you will have only 3 seconds to read
the voltmeter (if you miss the reading you will have to wait about 15 minutes to re-take it).

5.2.2 While looking at the voltmeter, press the power on switch on the generator board 200–PL2. During
a period of three seconds, a resistive load (power resistors R1 and R4 on the generator board) will
be connected across the line input, causing a drop in the voltage reading on the voltmeter. Note and
write down this closed circuit voltage:
V2 = ....................................

Note: After this three-second period the red LED DE3 on the generator board will light, indicating that
heating of the resistive load prevents an immediate repeat reading. After about 15 minutes, the
LED will go out and the reading can be repeated if necessary.

5.2.3 Calculate line resistance RL according to the formula:


RL = [(V1 – V2)/V2]  RINT

5.2.4 Having determined the line resistance RL, find the maximum generator power from table 2.

JOB CARDS
Example: The calculated line resistance is 0.41W. Table 2 shows the highest generator power
that can be delivered with a line resistance of 0.41W and an AC supply of 240v. The
maximum allowable generator power is therefore 3.5 kW.

Note: The maximum allowable generator power will be set later.

5.2.5 Turn off the Senographe.

5.2.6 Set the generator power switch to the 0 position and switch off the AC power.

5.2.7 Disconnect the line voltage selection wire SEL from the 0V lug on the generator board and recon-
nect it to the lug corresponding to the nominal (not measured) AC line voltage. Tighten the lug nuts
to a torque setting of 4Nm.

SECTION 5
PROCEDURE.

5.1 General instructions


D The photo cell must be in its most forward position (towards the patient) throughout the procedures in
this Job Card.
D When placing plexiglass on the cassette holder, the plexiglass must always overlap the front edge
(towards the patient) by about 10mm to ensure that the photo cell is fully covered.
D Whenever the optical density of a film is measured, the measurement is always relative to the film
base fog level (net density). Thus, you must null out the densitometer on the film base fog,(unex-
posed area of the film); then measure the Net density in the middle of the film.
D To avoid confusing results (for you and the software), take care to avoid putting the single-sided film
upside-down in the cassette.
JOB CARDS

D The minimum number of films to expose during this procedure is 9 films.

5.2 Perform a warm up of the X–Ray tube prior of the calibration.


– Set up the senographe DMR in the following configuration:
Mode: Manuel (2–point).
Bucky 18 x 24 in place (with grid).
Focal spot: LARGE
Track: MO
Filter: MO
HV: 30 kV
mAs: 100 mAs
– Take the exposure

To avoid excessive X–Ray doses on the photo–cell tube, place an empty cas-
CAUTION sette on the top of the image receptor.

5.3 Calibration of X–Ray tube heater current

5.3.1 Perform the calibration procedure on the LF/RH focal size/track combination, then on the others
in any order (SF/RH, LF/MO, SF/MO).

5.3.2 Starting from application mode, change the position of the installation menu enable switch (switch
B1 on generator CPU board 400–PL3).

Note: This must only be done if the Senographe DMR has been switched off since the last access to SET-
UP/GENE/INSTAL or SETUP/ARM/VALID/INSTAL

5.3.3 Select the following menu sequence on the console: SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/GENE/

Note: /focal size/track/ must be LF/RH for the first combination performed.

To avoid excessive X-ray doses on the photo-cell tube, place an empty cassette
CAUTION on the top of the image receptor.

5.3.4 Press the 2nd trigger button and hold it down. The messages EXPOSURE NO 1, EXPOSURE NO
2, EXPOSURE NO 3 and CALIBRATION END appear sequentially on the console display. The
software automatically performs the three exposures and the calculations.

Note: Calibration time varies according to tube temperature. The message TOO WARM appears on the
console display when tube temperature is excessive for taking the next exposure. It is not neces-
sary to hold the 2nd trigger button down while waiting for the tube to cool. However, do not exit
the calibration menu while waiting. As soon as the TOO WARM message disappears, continue
the calibration by pressing the 2nd trigger button and holding it down.

JOB CARDS
Note: In case of arcing, the software re–attempts the same exposure automatically.

Note: The calibration procedure includes an exposure at 40 kV. If for some reason this exposure is
impossible to perform (e.g. excessive arcing), tube warm–up may be necessary (see Job Card IST
020 AUTOMATIC X–RAY TUBE WARM–UP).

5.3.5 Repeat sections 5.3.3 to 5.3.4 for each of the remaining focal size/track combinations.

Note: This must be done only if the Senographe DMR has been switched off since the last access to SET-
UP/GENE/INSTAL or SETUP/ARM/VALID/INSTAL

5.4 Perform film reciprocity law failure compensation calibration.


There are two objectives:
1. Calibrate the Senographe DMR for correct film blackening when in AEC (1-point) or AOP (0-point) mode.
This is done in section 5.6.

2. Determine the film reciprocity law failure compensation parameters A0, A1 and A2 for the screen pair
being calibrated. These parameters are determined jointly by the screen pair and the characteristics of the
Senographe DMR product. This determination is done in section 5.7.

5.5 Calibrate X-ray tube heater current at 30 mA.

Note: This calibration does not depend on the screen pair being calibrated, and thus needs to be per-
formed only once for the first screen pair to be calibrated. For subsequent screen pairs, skip this
section and go directly to section 5.6.

Starting from application mode, select SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/AOP/ALGO/FSC=x/CALIB/


LNRT/HEATER/CALIB on the console, where x is the screen pair indicator (A,B,C,D,E) corresponding
to the screen pair being calibrated (see Job Card IST 006). Press the 2nd trigger button and hold it down. A
series of 3 X-ray exposures is taken. Release the 2nd trigger button.

Note: This calibration does not depend on any particular configuration of the Senographe DMR, so it
can be performed without any particular attention paid to presence or absence of accessories such
as compression paddle, cassette, grid, etc.
JOB CARDS

5.6 Calibrate reciprocity law failure reference energy.

5.6.1 Select SETUP/SETUP/PARAM on the console. Verify the initial film reciprocity law failure com-
pensation parameters A0, A1 and A2 by rotating the kV dial through the three values. The initial
parameter values are given below:
A0init = +1.008E+0 (1.008)
A1init = +1.244E–1 (0.1244)
A2init = +2.277E–2 (0.02277)
If any of the parameter values are different from the initial values given above, correct them
manually by pressing the CHANGE key, then enter the correct value using the NEXT and
VALID keys and the kV dial (see Visual Display of Parameter Values and Modification of a
Parameter Value or Entry of a Measurement in Chapter 1). Once the value is entered and vali-
dated, press the SETUP key once to continue checking the remaining parameter values.

Note: With experience installing several Senographe DMRs, you may find sets of initial parameter val-
ues for certain screen pair types (i.e. high or low speed films, certain screen types) that result in
fewer films being used to complete this calibration.

5.6.5 Press the SETUP key on the console. Rotate the kV dial until the value OD_5 is displayed on the
console screen. Select CHANGE on the console.

Enter the optical density from scale number 5 of the sensitometry test by using the NEXT and
VALID keys and rotating the kV dial.

5.6.6 Repeat section 5.6.5 for OD_7, OD_9, OD_11, OD_13 and OD_15 from the sensitometry test.

5.6.7 Set up the Senographe DMR in the following configuration:


– any compression paddle installed
– contact (no magnification)
– bucky 18 x 24 in place (with grid)
– 40 mm plexiglass on the bucky

5.6.8 Install the cassette loaded with fresh film corresponding to the screen pair being calibrated.

5.6.9 IF this is the FIRST exposure, select SETUP/SETUP/CALIB/CALIB on the console. For SUB-
SEQUENT exposures (if any) select only SETUP/CALIB on the console. Press the 2nd trigger
button and hold it down. A single X-ray exposure is taken. Release the 2nd trigger button.

Note: By default, the first exposure is taken at +7.000E+1 (70) mAs. For certain slower speed films, this
calibration can be done using fewer films if the initial mAs value is increased. To do this, prior
to pressing the 2nd trigger button, select SETUP/SETUP/MAS/CHANGE on the console and
enter the desired initial mAs value using the NEXT and VALID keys and rotating the kV dial. Then
select SETUP/SETUP/CALIB/CALIB on the console and proceed with the exposure.

5.6.10 Develop the film and measure its optical density.

Note: The grid is not activated during this calibration mode exposure, so it is normal to see grid lines
on the developed film.

5.6.11 Select SETUP/OD_mea on the console. Use the NEXT and VALID keys and the kV dial to enter
the measured optical density value (see Visual Display of Parameter Values and Modification of a
Parameter Value or Entry of a Measurement in Chapter 1.

5.6.12 Select SETUP/CALC/VALID on the console to execute the calculation. At this point, either the
result is satisfactory, and the software displays CALIB END on the console display or, if another
exposure and re-calculation are necessary, the software displays ANOTHER FILM.
In the latter case, re-load the cassette with fresh film and repeat sections 5.6.8 to 5.6.12 without
manually changing the mAs value – the software will have calculated a new mAs value for this
exposure. Normally, no more than 2 or 3 films need to be used before CALIB END appears on the
JOB CARDS

console display to indicate a satisfactory result.

Note: It is useful to note the updated mAs value determined by the software before taking any subsequent
exposures. This can give you an idea of the initial mAs values needed for certain film types to
reduce the number of films needed during future Senographe DMR installations (see Note in sec-
tion 5.6.9).

5.7 Calibrate film reciprocity law failure compensation parameters.

5.7.1 Set up the Senographe DMR in the following configuration:


– any compression paddle installed
– contact (no magnification)
– bucky 18 x 24 in place
– set the SID to that used by user, 610 mm or 660 mm (most common)

5.7.2 Select SETUP/SETUP/SETUP/LNRT on the console.

Note: There is a delay of about 2 seconds between the moment when the LNRT key is pressed and the
appearance of the succeeding sub-menu titles. This is due to a calculation that the software per-
forms to determine, among other things, the plexiglass thickness necessary for the calibration.

5.7.3 Place the amount of plexiglass indicated on the console display on the bucky and install the cassette
loaded with fresh film corresponding to the screen pair being calibrated.

5.7.4 Press the CALIB button, then press the 2nd trigger button and hold it down. A single X-ray exposure
is taken. Release the 2nd trigger button.

Note: The exposure time can be very short (20 ms) or very long (9 s), so be sure to hold the 2nd trigger
button down constantly until the exposure is complete.

5.7.6 Select SETUP/OD_mea on the console. Use the NEXT and VALID keys and the kV dial to enter
the measured optical density value (see Visual Display of Parameter Values and Modification of a
Parameter Value or Entry of a Measurement in Chapter 1.

5.7.7 Select SETUP/CALC/VALID on the console to execute the calculation. At this point, either the
result is satisfactory, and the software displays CALIB END on the console display, or, if another
exposure and re-calculation is necessary, the software displays ANOTHER FILM.
In the latter case, press the SETUP key once and repeat sections 5.7.3 to 5.7.7. As many as 15 films
may have to be used before CALIB END appears on the console display following the calculation,
indicating a satisfactory result.

JOB CARDS
Note: Be sure to update the amount of plexiglass on the cassette holder (if necessary) according to the
indication on the console display.

5.7.8 Select SETUP/SETUP/PARAM on the console and note down the three film reciprocity law fail-
ure compensation parameters A0, A1 and A2 by rotating the kV dial.

Note: Keep these three parameter values with the table in Installation Steering in Chapter 1, once you
have verified them in section 5.9 below. They can be used in the future to avoid repeating this Job
Card during installation of other Senographe DMRs with the same screen pair. The Installation
Steering section explains how to perform the calibration when these parameters are known.

5.8 Set manual density correction step size.

5.8.1 Ask the doctor the desired manual density correction step size.
For example, if the step size is chosen to be +1.000E–1 (0.1), then, assuming that the reference opti-
cal density of 1.0, the available range of corrected optical density is from 0.5 to 1.5 in steps of 0.1
in both AEC and AOP application modes.

5.8.2 Select SETUP/SETUP/Energ/PARAM/D_STEP/CHANGE on the console. Use the NEXT and


VALID keys and the kV dial to enter the desired manual density correction step size value (see

each one:
– 28 kV with 40 mm of plexiglass
– 32 kV with 15 mm of plexiglass
– 28 kV with 55 mm of plexiglass

Note: Since these exposures are taken in application mode, the grid is activated during the exposures and
thus no grid lines should be visible on the developed films.
The optical density must not vary by more than 0.2 between any two of the three films. If it does,
the entire calibration must be repeated.

Once the variation in optical density between the three films is satisfactory, check that the optical
density of the 28kV/40 mm film is inside the tolerance of the reference optical density ±0.1 (the ref-
erence optical density was chosen in section 5.6.2).
If the optical density is outside this tolerance, the reference energy must be calibrated as indicated
in Job Card IST 014. To do this, perform the following sequence:

1. Perform the section entitled Perform calibration of reference energy in Job Card IST 014.

Note: The reference optical density must be re–entered following the menu sequence given in Job Card
IST 014.

Note: For the initial calibration attempt, do not use the default mAs value of +7.000E+1 (70). Instead,
use the mAs value obtained above from the 28 kV/40 mm check exposure.

2. Perform the section entitled Check results in Job Card IST 014.

CAUTION ”tweak” manually the GAMMA or ENR_R parameters determined by the
calibration procedures in this Job Card. If the calibration results are not sat-
isfactory, there is a reason which must be corrected; correct the problem and

SECTION 5
PREPARATION

5.1 General Instructions


D The photo cell must be in its most forward position (towards the patient) throughout these procedures.
D When placing plexiglasss on the cassette holder, the plexiglasss must always overlap the front edge
(towards the patient) by about 10 mm to ensure that the photo cell is fully covered, and the plexiglasss
is set all the way to the rear of the image receptor.
JOB CARDS

D To avoid confusing results (for you and the software), take care to avoid putting the single-sided film
upside-down in the cassette.
D Whenever the optical density of a film is measured, the measurement is always relative to the film
base fog level (net density). Thus, you must null out the densitometer on the film base fog,(unex-
posed area of the film); then measure the net density in the middle of the film.

5.2 Prepare the senographe DMR for this calibration procedure

5.2.1 Calibration of heater current.


– Set up the senographe DMR in the following configuration:
Mode: Manuel (2–point).
Bucky 18 x 24 in place (with grid).
Focal spot: LARGE
Track: MO
Filter: MO
HV: 28 kV
mAs: 100 mAs
– Take the exposure

To avoid excessive X–Ray doses on the photo–cell tube, place an empty cas-
CAUTION sette on the top of the image receptor.

D Starting from application mode, change the position of the installation menu enable switch B1 on genera-
tor CPU board 400–PL3.

5.3 Perform calibration of reference energy.


The objective is to calibrate the Senographe DMR for correct film blackening when in AEC (1-point) or AOP
(0-point) mode.

5.3.1 Ask the doctor for the desired reference optical density OD_R (Optical Density–Reference, the
Target Net Density). This is generally between 1.0 and 1.6.

5.3.2 Starting from application mode, select SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/AOP/ALGO/FSC=x/


CALIB/Energ/PARAM/OD_R/CHANGE on the console, where x is the screen pair indicator
(A,B,C,D,E) corresponding to the screen pair being calibrated (see Job Card IST 006).

5.3.3 Enter the desired reference optical density by using the NEXT and VALID keys and rotating the
kV dial, see ”visual display of parameters values” and ”modification of a parameter value or
entry of a measurement” in chapter 1.

JOB CARDS
5.3.4 Perform a sensitometry test on a fresh film (unexposed film) being used with the screen pair being
calibrated.

5.3.5 Select SETUP/SETUP/SCALE on the console.

5.3.6 Rotate the kV dial until the value OD_3 is displayed on the console screen.

5.3.7 Select CHANGE on the console.

5.3.8 Enter the optical density from scale number 3 of the sensitometry test by using the NEXT and
VALID keys and rotating the kV dial.

5.3.9 Press the SETUP key on the console.

5.3.10 Rotate the kV dial until the value OD_5 is displayed on the console screen.

5.3.11 Select CHANGE on the console.

5.3.12 Enter the optical density from scale number 5 of the sensitometry test by using the NEXT and
VALID keys and rotating the kV dial.

5.3.13 Repeat section 5.3.9 through 5.3.12 for OD_7, OD_9, OD_11, OD_13 and OD_15 from the sensi-
tometry test.

5.3.14 Select SETUP/SETUP/SETUP/CONFIG/NORMAL on the console (this tells the software that
the calibration is being done for the normal, and not Stereotix 2, mode).

5.3.15 Set up the Senographe DMR in the following configuration:


– any compression paddle installed
– contact (no magnification)
– bucky 18 x 24 wiht grid in place
– 40 mm plexiglasss on the bucky.
– set the SID to that used by user, 610 mm or the most common 660 mm.

A GIVEN SCREEN PAIR Job Card IST 014 4 of 8

5.3.16 Install the cassette loaded with fresh film corresponding to the screen pair being calibrated.

5.3.17 For an initial calibration, use the default mAs value of +7.000E+1 (70) by selecting SETUP/
CALIB/CALIB on the console. For any subsequent re-calibration, follow the instructions given
for entering a mAs value other than the default value (see IST013 Section 5.6.9).

5.3.18 Press the 2nd trigger button and hold it down. A single X–ray exposure is taken. Release the 2nd
trigger button.

5.3.19 Develop the film and measure its optical density (OD) (See section 5.1).
The measured OD should be greater than or equal to (OD_R – 0.2) but lower than (OD_R + 0.8),
where OD_R is the reference optical density chosen in section 5.3.1.
For example: If OD_R = 1.1 then the optical density must be between 0.9 and 1.9
Note: The grid is not activated during this calibration mode exposure, so it is normal to see grid lines
JOB CARDS

on the developed film.


If the measured value is in the required range, go to step 5.3.21 to enter the value into the DMR.

5.3.20 If the measured value is not in the required range, first change the mAs value and repeat the OD
measurement.
If the film is too dark (measured OD greater than OD_R + 0.8), the mAs must be reduced; if the
film is too light (measured OD less than OD_R – 0.2), the mAs must be increased.
Calculate the required change in mAs value as 8% for each 0.1 of OD variation required.
Note: The value of 8% is based on a film gamma of 3.
For example: with an OD_R of 1.1 and 70 mAs the OD = 1.6, which you want to reduce by 0.5;
then 8%  5 = 40%, and 40% of 70 mAs = 28 mAs.
N to decrease the OD by 0.5, you should enter a mAs value of (70 – 28) = 42 mAs.
Repeat the OD measurement with the calculated new mAs value, as follows:

1. Select SETUP/mAs on the console

2. Enter the new mAs value, using the NEXT and VALID keys and the kV dial
Note: Be careful not to press the SETUP key more than once after entering the mAs value – a second
press will cause the value to revert to the default of +7.000E+1 (70).

3. Reload the cassette and install it in the cassette holder

4. Select SETUP/CALIB on the console; repeat sections 5.3.18 and 5.3.19.

5.3.21 When the measured OD value is in the correct range, select SETUP/OD_MS; use the NEXT and
VALID keys and the kV dial to enter the measured value into the DMR.

5.3.22 Select SETUP/CALC/VALID on the console to execute the calculation; Calcul Done appears
on the console display.

5.3.23 Note down the following information:


– Gamma value (select SETUP/SETUP/PARAM/GAMMA on the console)
Note: This is not the film gamma, but another intermediate value calculated for internal use by the
Senographe.
– The reference energy (select SETUP/ENR_R on the console)
– The reference optical density (select SETUP/OD_R on the console)
– The sensitometry scale densities (select SETUP/SCALE on the console and rotate the kV dial
to display the different values)

5.4 Set manual density correction step size.

5.4.1 Ask the doctor the desired manual density correction step size.
For example, if the step size is chosen to be +1.000E–1 (0.1), then assuming that the reference opti-

JOB CARDS
cal density is 1.0 the available range of corrected optical density is from 0.5 to 1.5 in steps of 0.1
in AEC and AOP Application Modes.

5.4.2 Select SETUP/D_STEP/CHANGE on the console.


Use the NEXT and VALID keys and the kV dial to enter the desired manual density correction step
size value.

5.5 Check Results

5.5.1 If necessary, enable use of the screen pair being calibrated by selecting
SETUP/SETUP/SETUP/SETUP/SETUP/VALID/YES on the console.

5.5.2 Perform a ”CKSUM” and go to Application Mode.

5.5.3 Set up the following exposure configuration:


– Mode: AEC (1–Point).
– Screen pair: Select the name of the screen pair being calibrated.
– Focal spot: LARGE.
– Filter: MO.
– Manual density correction: +0.
– 28 kV.
– 4 cm plexiglass.

5.5.4 Keep the Senographe DMR in the same configuration as given in section 5.3.15.

5.5.5 Take an exposure, using the screen pair being calibrated, note down the resulting mAs value and
measure the optical density of the film.

Note: Since this exposure is taken in Application Mode, the grid is activated during the exposure and
thus no grid lines should be visible on the developed film.

5.5.6 The optical density of the film must not be outside the tolerance of the reference optical density ±0.1
(the reference optical density was chosen in section 5.3.1). If the optical density is within this toler-
ance, skip directly to section 5.5.8 below.

Note: The reference optical density chosen and entered in section 5.3.1 can no longer be displayed at
this point; it was erased and replaced by the default value when the DMR was returned to Applica-
tion Mode for these checks.

5.5.7 If the optical density of the film is outside this tolerance, repeat the calibration procedure, but use
the mAs value obtained from the check exposure taken in section 5.5.5. To do this, perform the fol-
lowing sequence:

1. Select SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/AOP/ALGO/FSC=x/CALIB/Energ./PARAM/
OD_R/CHANGE on the console. Re-enter the desired reference optical density by using
the NEXT and VALID keys and rotating the kV dial.
JOB CARDS

2. Select SETUP/SETUP/SETUP/CALIB/mAs on the console and enter the resulting mAs


value obtained from the check exposure taken in Section 5.5.5 by using the NEXT and
VALID keys and the kV dial.

Note: If the measured optical density from the check exposure is greater (less) than the desired reference
density, it is preferable to use a mAs value slightly lower (higher) than the value obtained from
the check exposure.

Note: Be careful not to press the SETUP key more than one time after entering the mAs value. Doing
so would cause this value to revert to the default mAs value.

3. Repeat Sections 5.3.15 to 5.3.23, EXCEPT THAT in Section 5.3.17, IT WILL NOW ONLY BE
NECESSARY TO SELECT SETUP/CALIB AND NOT SETUP/CALIB/CALIB ON THE
CONSOLE.

Note: The greater the difference between the optical density measured during the CALIBRATION and
the desired reference density, the greater the final error in optical density when in automatic expo-
sure Application Mode.

4. Repeat all checks in Section 5.5.

5.5.8 If you have entered the parameters A0, A1, and A2 manually, make the following check (otherwise
go to Section 5.5.9).
Take two exposures using the screen pair being calibrated with the following kV and plexiglass
thickness, measuring and noting the optical density of the film and the mAs obtained for each one:
– 32 kV with 1.5 cm of pexiglass.
– 28 kV with 5.5 cm of plexiglass.

SECTION 4
PREREQUISITES
The Senographe DMR being installed must be equipped with the Stereotix 2 option that has been set up and
calibrated according to the Stereotix 2 Service Manual.
Also, Job Card IST 004 must have been performed before this Job Card.

Note: In case of error messages during this calibration, see IST 041 for explanations.

SECTION 5
CALIBRATION OF PHOTO CELL IN STEREOTIX 2 POSITIONS
The objective is to calibrate the photocell in its Stereotix 2 positions. Because of the different angles between
the tube housing and the photocell when in Stereotix 2 mode, the photocell does not receive the same dose of
radiation as it does when in non–Stereotix 2 mode.
JOB CARDS

Note: Since this calibration does not depend on a certain screen pair, it is not necessary to perform it each
time a new screen pair is introduced.

This Job Card consists of four interdependent calibration procedures which are performed in the following
order:
D Normal, which is done without the Stereotix 2 installed as a reference calibration for the following three
calibrations.
D Stereotix Left, which is done with the Stereotix 2 installed and the tube–carrying arm rotated to the right
side as viewed from the front of the gantry.
D Stereotix Center, which is done with the Stereotix 2 installed and the tube–carrying arm rotated to the
center.
D Stereotix Right, which is done with the Stereotix 2 installed and the tube–carrying arm rotated to the left
side as viewed from the front of the gantry.

THE FOUR PROCEDURES MENTIONED ABOVE MUST ALL BE PER-

JOB CARDS

D When placing plexiglass on the Stereotix 2 cassette holder, the plexiglass must always overlap the front
edge (towards the patient) by about 1 cm to insure that the photo cell is fully covered.
D Whenever the optical density of a film is measured, the measurement is always relative to the film
base fog level (Net density). Thus, you must null out the densitometer on the film base fog (unex-
posed area of the film), then measure the net density in the middle of the film.
D When measuring optical density of a Stereotix 2 film, the point of measure must be at about 5 mm below
the horizontal reference line, and in line with the vertical reference line.

5.1 Starting from application mode, change the position of the installation menu enable switch (switch B1 on
generator CPU board 400–PL3, see ”Accessing the Generator or Gantry Installation Mode from the

SECTION 5
AUTOMATIC X–RAY TUBE WARM–UP
This Job Card provides the procedure for re–starting an X–ray tube that was known to be good upon leaving
the factory, but which now exhibits arcing after a long period of inactivity.
The principle is to take a series of 12 pre–determined exposures, starting at low kV values and progressively
increasing towards high kV values. If arcing occurs during an exposure, some or all exposures are automati-
cally repeated. If persistent arcing occurs, the software automatically terminates the warm–up procedure.

CALIBRATION OF BREAST THICKNESS MEASUREMENT
The objective is to calibrate the breast thickness measurement. Since the compression paddle and its drive
train, as well as the cassette holder or magnification device undergo deflection when under compression, a
compensation factor must be calculated to correct for changes in compression force at a fixed breast thickness.
Two calibrations must in fact be done, one for contact mode and one for magnification mode.

5.1 Prepare the Senographe DMR for the calibrations.


Starting from application mode, change the position of the installation menu enable switch (switch B1 on gen-
erator CPU board 400–PL3).

Note: This arrangement is done to simulate the exact film placement when a Bucky and a cassette are
used. This configuration is mandatory to measure accurately the X-Ray area in step 5.8, 5.9
&5.10 (particularly critical for front edge position).
The reason for such criticity is the tolerance decreasing (now 1% of SID for front edge overlap)
induced by various country regulations.

movement of the collimator front blade. Stop changing the value when alignment is correct.

5.3.3 Press the VALID key to memorize the setting.

Note: If it is impossible to align perfectly the front blade (Diff_F is always above 2 mm, see illustration
3) perform Job Card IST 036 (Adjustment of centering device lamp).

5.4 Light Coverage Adjustment.


The purpose of this Section is to adjust the light coverage with the X-Ray blackened area.

5.4.1 select: SETUP/COVERAGE

Note: The centering light should turn off and on again when you enter this menu.

5.4.2 Use + & – keys or rotate console kV button to change the displayed value. The value changes by
step of 5 units, starting from the previous value (e.g. –12, –7, –2, +3, +8 ...etc). When the value is
changed, only the lateral and rear collimator blades are moving at once. Stop changing the value
when alignment is correct.

5.4.3 Press the VALID key to memorize the setting.

Note: If it is impossible to align simultaneously the lateral and rear blades, try to find a position where

CALIBRATION OF X–RAY TUBE REFERENCE ANGLE
The objective is to determine the X–ray tube angle when in its reference position.
This calibration is done by taking an exposure (at a given SID) whose field coverage depth is limited by the
anode geometry and not by the rear collimator blade, measuring this field coverage depth, and entering this
depth into the Senographe DMR which subsequently calculates the X–ray tube angle when in its reference
position.

the console.

5.1.4 Take an exposure by pressing the 2nd trigger button.

5.1.5 Develop the film and use the ruler to measure the distance between the front edge (edge closest to
the patient) of the film and the rear edge of the blackened area.

Note: Be sure to measure from the front edge of the FILM, even if the blackened area does not extend
to it.

Note: Be sure that the rear edge of the blackened area truly represents the end of the anode, and not a
stuck rear collimator blade (normally the software commands ”full open” during the exposure)
or other obstacle. This can be determined by the abruptness of the change in contrast between the
blackened area and the clear area. If the change is gradual, the exposure is good. If it is very abrupt,
it is necessary to correct the problem and repeat the calibration.

Note: If the blackened area of the film extends all the way to its rear edge, the X–ray tube reference angle
is severely incorrect and this calibration cannot be performed.

5.1.6 Select SETUP/SETUP/SETUP/MEASURE on the console and enter the measured value in mm

CALIBRATION OF ALL COLLIMATOR BLADE REFERENCE POSITIONS
The objective is to determine the lateral, rear, and front, collimator reference positions. The result is that the
software will then be able to command and obtain any desired X–Ray format.
This calibration is done by taking two exposures (at a given SID):
– A first exposure is done with all the collimator blades in their reference positions (the software
automatically commands these positions prior to exposure).
– A second exposure is done with all the collimator blades in their examination positions (the soft-
ware automatically commands these positions priori to exposure) in the order to fine tune lateral
& rear calibration parameters.
The width and depth positions of the blackened area of the exposed films are then measured and entered in
the Senographe DMR which in turn calculates and saves the reference positions.

TEST FOR ABSENCE OF GRID LINES ON EXPOSED FILM
The objective is to test for correct grid movement by taking exposures and examining the developed films for
grid lines .

Generalities on gridlines observation:


This procedure describes the optimum conditions for carrying out and analyzing grid line test exposures. It
is important to emphasize, however, that detection of the grid line effect is still a SUBJECTIVE test. In partic-
ular, the following considerations must be remembered:
• It is possible to obtain a good test exposure even on a poorly–calibrated DMR unit.
A tiny variation in speed or exposure time can produce a big variation in the grid lines visibil-
ity. Several exposures, even several patient exams may be required to confirm that the grid line
problem in a system has been significantly reduced after any change in the system .

• When the fault is not very pronounced, it is usually not present over the entire film, but only in
certain areas (at the edge of the film, as follows):

• The following display conditions are essential for grid line observation:
• Viewer light intensity must be high and uniform,
JOB CARDS

• Use of masks around the image to be observed is recommended,


• A magnifying glass sometimes helps to detect the fault,
• The fault shows up better when the optical density of the film is not too high (OD net < 1.2).

5.1 General instructions to be observed during all procedures in this Job Card

5.1.1 The photo cell must be in its most forward position (towards the patient) throughout the procedures
in this Job Card.

5.1.2 When placing Plexiglass on the cassette holder, the Plexiglass must always overlap the front edge

(decrease) the HV by 1 kV and repeat the exposure using the same undeveloped film in the cassette.
Continue increasing or decreasing the HV by 1 kV until a satisfactory exposure time is reached, then
proceed to the next step.

Note: For an unusually slow film (i.e. if the exposure time is still greater than 300 mS at 30 kV), remove
the Plexiglass from the bucky and continue the search for a satisfactory exposure time.

SECTION 5
GENERATOR TESTING
The objective is to check quickly the generator kV, mA and mAs calibrations, which have already been done
in the factory. At the same time, these procedures will warm up the X–ray tube slightly in preparation for the
AEC calibration.

5.1 Set up generator for testing.

5.1.1 Configure the Senographe DMR for the following exposure:


Mode manual (2–point)
Focal spot: large
Track: Mo
Filter: Mo
JOB CARDS

mAs: 60 (lower mAs value may give inaccurate measurements)


HV: 22 kV

5.1.2 Activate display of parameters following an exposure by selecting SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/


GENE/CONFIG/DISP/YES on the console (see chapter 1 section 3–10–2). Return to applica-
tion mode.

5.1.3 Connect the digital mAs meter to kV mA board 701–PL1 (on HV tank unit 701) between terminals
MES_MA_POS and MES_MA_NEG. Disconnect the jumper that is normally between these same
two terminals.

5.1.4 Set the mAs meter to current (mA) measurement.

5.1.5 Take 5 exposures at approximately 20 second intervals, incrementing the HV by 2 kV each time
(i.e. 22 – 24 – 26 – 28 – 30 kV).

5.1.6 Take 5 more exposures at the same interval, leaving the HV set at 30 kV.

5.1.7 The X–ray tube current value displayed on the console (Idisplay) must be 100 mA ± 5 mA AND in
agreement with the value read on the mAs meter (Imeasure) ± 5%.

SECTION 6

JOB CARDS
GANTRY TESTING
The objective is to check quickly the basic functions of the gantry.
Note that the following functions are tested by the software during each power–up sequence:
D Filter holder rotation
D Lateral, front and rear collimator blade movement
D X–ray tube housing movement
D Compression paddle movement to home position
D Column movement limit stops
D Coherency between focal spot size, magnification and X–ray tube housing angulation
D Grid movement
D Generator–gantry communications link
D Gantry CPU board

6.1 Check gantry readout.


Immediately following the power–up sequence, the gantry readout should indicate the X–ray format (18x24
or 24x30) and magnification factor only; the breast thickness and compression force readouts should be dis-
abled.

6.2 Check column movement.

6.2.1 With the compression paddle out of compression, check that all five column up/down control but-
tons are operational (check each button for up and down movement of column).

6.2.2 Move column to its upper and lower limits. Optical sensors should stop movement. If optical sen-
sors have failed, mechanical safety stops halt movement. Total one–way movement time
(going either up or down) between upper and lower limits should be 16 ± 2 seconds. This time
includes initial acceleration which lasts 3 seconds.

Note: In fact the gantry readout displays the size of the actual X–Ray field (e.g. 1722 if the 1824
Bucky is in place)

6.3 Check arm rotation.

6.3.1 With the compression paddle out of compression, check that all four arm rotation control buttons
are operational (check each button for release and re–locking of arm rotation).

6.3.2 Rotate arm through its full range of ± 180°. Check that electro–brake is sufficient by manual action
on the handles.
JOB CARDS

6.3.3 Check alignment of angle markings at 0°.

6.4 Check light centering device.

6.4.1 Press one of the light centering device activation buttons. The light centering device should light
for 30 seconds.

6.5 Check format control.


Check that each of the two format control pushbuttons, when pressed repeatedly, result in the sequence: 1)
light centering device lights; 2) first format reduction; 3) second format reduction; 4) full format.

6.6 Check magnification sensors.

6.6.1 Set SID to 660 mm.

6.6.2 With magnification device removed, the gantry readout should show a magnification of 1.0.

6.6.3 Install the magnification device into the lower, middle and upper holes successively. The gantry
readout should show a magnification of 1.5, 1.8 and 1.9, respectively.

6.6.4 Leaving the magnification device in the upper holes, change the SID to 610, 560 and 510 mm
successively. The gantry readout should show a magnification of 1.7, 1.6 and 1.5, respectively.

6.7 Check tube housing arm detents.

6.7.1 With Stereotix 2 NOT installed, activate the tube housing arm locking lever and rotate the tube
housing arm to its ± 15° and ± 27° detents. When tube housing arm is locked in each of these four
positions, the error message ”Incorrect X_Ray Incidence” should appear on the console display.

6.7.2 Rotate the tube housing arm so that it is ”floating” between detents. After five seconds, the error
message ”Tube Housing Arm Unlocked” should appear on the console display and ”Arm
Unlocked” should appear on the gantry readout.

6.8 Check paddle compression.

6.8.1 Verify that both sets of compression/decompression pedals and the manual compression knobs
located on the paddle holder all function correctly (i.e. the paddle goes up and down in response
to each command).

6.8.2 Use the mammo compression scale placed between the cassette holder and the compression paddle
to check calibration of the compression force display on the gantry readout. Measure one point at
5 daN and one point at 15 daN. The value on the gantry readout must agree within ± 1 daN. If it does
not, perform IST 023 ”CALIBRATION OF COMPRESSION FORCE DETECTOR”.

JOB CARDS
Note: If the recommended compression measurement tool is not available, this verification can be done
by setting SID to 660 mm, lowering the paddle close to the top surface of the cassette holder, instal-
ling the magnification device in the upper pair of holes, and connecting a spring dynamometer
(calibrated from 0 to 15 kg) between the compression paddle and the magnification device.

6.9 Check breast thickness measurement.

6.9.1 Set SID to 660 mm, install the 18x24 bucky and place 10 mm of plexiglass in the center of the bucky.

6.9.2 Lower the compression paddle into contact with the plexiglass.

6.9.3 Slowly increase compression force on the plexiglass while watching the breast thickness display
on the gantry readout. The displayed value should remain in the range 10 mm ± 3 mm for any value
of compression force (as displayed on the gantry readout) between 5 and 15 kg.

6.9.4 Replace 10 mm of plexiglass with 50 mm of plexiglass and repeat the above check. Now the dis-
played value should remain in the range 50 mm ± 3 mm for any value of compression force
(as displayed on the gantry readout) between 5 and 15 kg.

6.9.5 If either or both of the above checks does not give a satisfactory result, perform Job Card IST 025
”CALIBRATION OF BREAST THICKNESS MEASUREMENT”.

CHECKING FILM PROCESSING
The objective is to check the light–tightness of the darkroom, the influence of the safelighting and correct
operation of the automatic film processor.

5.1 Check darkroom light–tightness and influence of safe–lighting.

5.1.1 Enter the darkroom and load a cassette with the film currently used for clinical purposes, taking care
to protect it from possible fogging from the darkroom safe light or leakage.
Note 1 : The emulsion side of the film must be positioned facing the screen side of the cassette (away from
the tube)

Note 2 : For Kodak Ortho–MA film, the emultion side is underneath when the notch is top left.

5.1.2 In 2–point mode, (HV: 28 kV, mAs=70, 4 cm of plexiglas) expose the cassette to the x–rays in such
a way as to obtain a film with an optical density of between 0.8 and 1.4 (change mAs as necessary
and repeat exposure with a fresh film).

and simultaneously activate the timer.

5.1.7 If this is the first maintenance inspection (reference test) proceed to the next step (5.1.8).
If this is a periodic maintenance check, go to step (5.1.11).

5.1.8 After 15 seconds, cover about a quarter of the bottom lefthand part of the film with the second
JOB CARDS

opaque sheet (see illustration 6, 1st area).

5.1.9 After 30 seconds, move the second opaque sheet upwards in such a way as to cover about half of
the lefthand part of the film (2nd area).

5.1.10 After one minute, move the second opaque sheet upwards to cover about three quarters of the left-
hand part of the film (3rd area).

5.1.11 After 2 minutes, cover the film completely with the first opaque sheet.
Note 1 : if the film is to be handled in the darkroom for long periods (more than one minute), it should be
tested in 5 positions and left for 2 extra minutes in the last position.

Note 2 : if this is a periodic maintenance check, one exposure of the film (of 2 to 4 minutes according to
requirements) will be sufficient.

5.1.12 Develop the film, protecting it with the opaque sheet until it is inserted in the automatic processor.

5.1.13 Write the following data on the developed film :


– date and time
– place

5.1.14 Look for the first area on the film in which the frame line is visible (see illustration 6) and note down
the time corresponding to the area concerned on the film.

5.1.15 Interpreting the results


The time obtained, corresponding to the first visible area, should not be less than 2 minutes.

Note: the ”laboratory safety time”, defined as half the period of time corresponding to the first visible
area, should also be at least one minute.

1. If the time corresponding to the first visible area is greater than 2 minutes, go on to the next pro-
cedure.

2. If the time is less than 2 minutes, check that:


– the safelighting complies with requirements
– there us no visible light leak (door, ceiling, floor, pipe ducts, etc.)
Inform the user of these problems and take the necessary steps to obtain correct results in subse-
quent tests.

3. If the time is less than 1 minute, priority must be given to solving the problem to enable the tests

5.1.18 If either or both of the above two criteria are not met:

1. Check the light–tightness of the darkroom by repeating sections 5.1.1 to 5.1.17 with the safe-
light turned OFF.

2. Check the safelight itself.

5.2 Check automatic film processor.

5.2.1 Perform a sensitometry test on the type of film being used by the customer.

Note: Be sure that the sensitometer is in the green position.

5.2.2 Develop the film.

5.2.3 Calibrate the densitometer to zero on step 1 on the sensitometric strip.


JOB CARDS

5.2.4 Use the densitometer to find the first step whose relative optical density is greater than or equal to
1. Let N be the step found and D(N) its relative optical density.

5.2.5 Measure the relative optical density for step (N+2). Let this measured value be D(N+2).

5.2.6 Calculate the film gamma:


Gamma = D(N+2) – D(N)
0.3
CRITERION: Check that the gamma calculated corresponds to that given by the film manufacturer
within a tolerance of ± 0.35 (e.g. gamma ≈ 3.2 for Kodak Ortho–Ma film).

Example: suppose D(N) = 1.12 and D(N+2) = 2.29:


then Gamma = 2.29 – 1.12
0.3

Note: A gamma value less that 3.0 cannot produce a good image quality in mammography.

5.2.7 If the above criterion is not met, check the automatic film processor (temperature, cleanliness,
change in chemicals, etc.).

The objective is to verify the position of jumpers and switches. Jumpers and switches are divided into three
groups: generator, gantry and console.

5.1 Generator jumpers and switches.

5.1.1 Check (visually, do not remove it!) that the jumper on generator CPU board 400PL3 is installed in
position X2.
See illustration 2.

This jumper must NEVER be removed from position X2 and must NEVER
CAUTION be placed in position TP1. If you find this jumper either removed or placed
in position TP1, the generator CPU RAMs are totally erased, necessitating
a TOTAL RE–CALIBRATION of the generator and AEC.

5.1.2 Check that the jumpers JP1 and JP2 are installed on generator command board 400PL1 (they must
NOT be in parking position JP3 and JP4 at this point). See illustration 1.

SECTION 3
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION These procedures produce X–rays. Be sure to take appropriate precautions.

SECTION 4
PREREQUISITES
Generator calibration must be successfully completed for the screen pair in question before this Job Card is
performed.

Note: The AOP strategy parameter is determined automatically at the end of IST013 or IST014 refer-
ence energy calibration. So the manual setting of the AOP strategy (IST039) is no longer neces-
sary.
However, if there are several senographe DMR installed on the same site, it may be necessary to
“equalize” all the strategies to the same value, to avoid unjustified mAs deviation between identi-
cal senographes. For this purpose only, it is still possible to read/set the strategy value.
This equalization must only be done if the DMRs are using the same film/screen couple, same film
processor, same SID.

SECTION 5
DETERMINE AOP STRATEGY
This Job Card provides the procedure for determining the AOP strategy parameter for a given screen pair. This
is done by taking a reference X–ray exposure in 1–point mode and choosing the AOP strategy parameter
according to the resulting mAs from the exposure.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS TO BE OBSERVED DURING ALL PROCEDURES GIVEN BELOW IN
THIS SECTION:
D The photo cell must be in its most forward position (towards the patient) throughout the procedures in
this Job Card.
D When placing plexiglass on the cassette holder, the plexiglass must always overlap the front edge
(towards the patient) by about 1 cm to insure that the photo cell is fully covered.

5.1 Set up for and take the exposure.


JOB CARDS

5.1.1 Set up the Senographe DMR in the following configuration:


– Any compression paddle installed
– Contact (no magnification)
– Bucky 18 x 24 in place (with grid)
– 4 cm plexiglass on the bucky
– SID : as per customer’s choice
– AEC mode (1–point)
– HV : 28 kV
– Track: Mo
– Filter: Mo
– Focal spot: LARGE
– Manual density correction: +0
993

5.1.2 Load cassette with undeveloped film into cassette holder and take an exposure. Note down the
resulting mAs.

5.1.3 Determine AOP strategy parameter value according to the resulting mAs value:
mAs < 30 => strategy = SUPER FAST
30 < mAs < 50 => strategy = VERY FAST
50 < mAs < 70 => strategy = FAST
70 < mAs < 100 => strategy = MEDIUM
100 < mAs < 150 => strategy = SLOW
mAs > 150 => strategy = VERY SLOW

Job Card IST 046 2 of 6

SECTION 5
CHECKS ON PRE–EXPOSURE IN AOP MODE

5.1 Purpose of the test


A critical criteria for good results in gridlines with the new software is to have a good prediction of exposure
time in AEC and AOP mode.
This prediction can be affected by an uncorrected adjustment of the kV feed–back circuit on 701PL1 board
(KV/MA board). For example, an overshoot on KV waveform during pre–exposure (pre–shot) would give a
minimized value for radiological thickness, compared to the actual thickness measured during main exposure.
A simple check is to record the thickness measurement done by photocell during a complete exposure and
compare it to the measurement during pre–exposure. The measurement will have to be done several times to
take in account other variations in the system.
This adjustment does not modify the AEC/AOP calibration; it will improve the invisibility of grid lines for
JOB CARDS

short exposure times.


Since generator software 3.26, the AEC mode works with a pre–exposure, same as AOP mode.

5.2 Procedure for test


5.2.1 System Warm–up
1. Put 4 cm Plexiglas on the Bucky to protect the photocell

2. Setup the system as follows:


• Manual Mode
• 73 mAs
• Track Mo, Filter Mo
• Large Focus
• 28 kV

3. Disable automatic decompression in Medical Menu

4. DMR V2 only: disable film detection in Medical Menu

5. Perform a serie of 5 exposures with 30 seconds waiting time between each exposure in order
to warm–up the tube.

CHECK S ON PRE–EXPOSURE
Job Card IST 046 3 of 6

5.2.2 Preparation for test


1. Setup DMR for following conditions :
• SID =660mm
• DMR examination Arm: vertical
• 18x24 compression paddle installed
• 4 cm Plexiglas on Bucky
• AOP set to STD mode or AEC mode at 28 kV.
• set compression to 5 daN (in AOP Mode)
2. Enable display of technical parameters, in order to read and record radiological thickness (See
Service Manual, Chapter 1 if necessary)

5.2.3 Acquisition of Exposures

JOB CARDS
1. Press 1st trigger button until 1st trigger lamp is on

2. Press 2nd trigger to take pre–exposure ONLY ; RELEASE 2nd trigger and Prep buttons
BEFORE actual exposure starts. Clear the Abort sound.

3. Read the radiological thickness on console.

4. Record this value in Table 1, value THp1 (which stands for Thickness, pre–exposure N°1 )

Note: Be sure to record all digits on the console (ex: 4.17 cm)
5. Redo the same exposure, but this time, let the system finish the main exposure.

6. Read the radiological thickness on console.

7. Record this value in Table 1, value THe1 (which stands for Thickness, exposure N°1 ),

8. Repeat steps ”1” to ”7” FOUR TIMES and each time report values in Table 1 (THp2 to THp5
and THe2 to THe5). Observe carefully a waiting time between exposures.

9. Calculate average values for THp, THe and Delta


(Win95 Calculator can be useful for this task; you can find it using menu: Start/Programs/Acces-
sories)

10. Report Values AV_THp , AV_THe and AV_ ∆ Table 2. (AV stands for Average)

5.3 Analysis of results


Average Delta should be comprised between 0.00 and –0.02 cm (no positive value allowed), meaning that pre–
exposure measured thickness is always slightly above the real thickness
If yes, check is done.
If not, « kV return » signal may not be properly calibrated. Proceed to next paragraph 5.4.

5.4 Corrective action on KV risetime


D If the gap is small (less than 0.2 cm), you can directly fine tune the HV risetime by rotating the potentiome-
ter P1 CW or CCW according to examples given below (one turn corresponds to about 0.01 cm of thick-
ness).
Note: P1 is the frequency compensation adjustment of the DMR HV probe.
Examples of adjustment for 701PL1 –P1:
First example :

AV_THp 4.03 cm AV_THe 4.06 cm AV_Delta 0.03 cm

In this case, turn P1 by 3 turns clockwise: this will increase THp by 0.03cm approximately.
Refine if necessary.
Second example :

AV_THp 4.02. cm AV_THe 4.00 cm AV_Delta –0.02 cm

In this case, turn P1 by 2 turns counterclockwise: this will reduce THp by 0.02cm approximately.
Refine if necessary.

inhibition.
161/013 indicates no reference crossing during movement.
E55 is the error code type listed in the Operator Manual. This code is easy to use and
communicate, and is considered sufficient for customer use.
161/013 is the ”technical code”, recommended for GE internal communication.
The error code listing currently contains almost 500 codes. Around 200 of these codes
concern software errors which, by definition, should never occur.
If a software error should occur, especially if it occurs several times, please inform Service
Engineering, giving as many details as possible. If possible, provide the error codes file, on
diskette (see DR 19, para. ).
The error code listing, below, only contains codes ccc/ddd, to facilitate technical
communication. The TSG (Trouble Shooting Guide) column indicates the reference number
in the Trouble Shooting Guide (chapter 6), which should obviously be consulted first.
Note: *** : these 3 stars indicates an explanation at the end of this chapter (section 3) for a
possible known root cause.
