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.

CHAPTER 1 – INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
This chapter presents the Senographe DMR installation procedures. The wiring and room
layout requirements for the product are covered in the Pre–Installation Manual.
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
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.
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

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
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
Illustration 1–2 shows the console before and after entry to the installation mode. Section 1

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:
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.

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.

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.

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).
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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
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

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.
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

3–11–1 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.
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:
– 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.
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).

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.
The following messages are displayed in the upper right–hand corner of the console display
during calibration procedures that make X–ray exposures:
Certain calibration procedures that make X–ray exposures insert, in alternation with the
above messages, specific messages such as:

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).

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.

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.
5.1.1 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
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.
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).
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.
5.2.1 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).
5.2.4 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).
To avoid excessive X–Ray doses on the photo–cell tube, place an empty cas-
CAUTION sette on the top of the image receptor.
5.1.2 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
Note: To insure that the photo cell is fully covered by the plexiglass, be sure that it overlaps the front
edge of the cassette holder by about 1 cm.

plexiglass is needed to successfully perform the calibration, the message ”not enough plex” or ”too
much plexi” appears on the console display, and the series of exposures is halted.
If this happens:
– Release the 2nd trigger button and, according to the message, either add or remove
1 cm of plexiglass,
– Select SETUP/CALIB on the console,
– Press the 2nd trigger button and hold it down again,
JOB CARDS
– Continue the procedure.
5.2.3 When the calibration is successful and complete, the series of X–ray exposures halts automatically
and the message ”calibration end” appears on the console display. At this point, release the 2nd trig-
ger button.
5.2.4 Select SETUP/PARAM on the console. Note down the calculated values of parameters beta and
gamma. Each of these values is displayed by rotating the kV dial on the console. Since the third
parameter, alpha, always has a value of zero, it is not necessary to note it down.
Note: The value of alpha MUST be zero. Do not modify it under any circumstances.
5.2.5 Perform a ”CKSUM” and return to application mode. If you’re turning the machine back over to
the user at this point, switch the Senographe DMR off, then on again.

SCREEN PAIR SELECTION AND CONFIGURATION
The objective is to select and configure a screen pair prior to performing AEC calibrations on it.
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
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.
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.
3–28
GE Medical Systems SENOGRAPHE DMR V2
REV 4 sm 2118407–104
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.

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

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).

5.4 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.
6.1.1 Starting from application mode, change the position of the installation menu enable switch (switch
B1 on generator CPU board 400–PL3).

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
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.

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

nect it to the lug corresponding to the nominal (not measured) AC line voltage. Tighten the lug nuts

CAUTION sette on the top of the image receptor.
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

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
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.
3–77
GE Medical Systems SENOGRAPHE DMR V2
REV 4 sm 2118407–104
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.
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
5.6.1 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

5.6.6 Repeat section 5.6.5 for OD_7, OD_9, OD_11, OD_13 and OD_15 from the sensitometry test.
5.6.8 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.

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
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).
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.

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.
5.8.1 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.

5.9.1 If necessary, enable use of the screen pair being calibrated by selecting SETUP/SETUP
/SETUP/SETUP/SETUP/VALID/YES on the console.
5.9.5 Take three exposures, using the screen pair being calibrated, with the following kV and plexiglass
thicknesses, measuring and noting down the optical density of the film and the mAs obtained for
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.
3–82
GE Medical Systems SENOGRAPHE DMR V2
REV 4 sm 2118407–104
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.

PREPARATION
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.
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.

5.3.16 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
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:
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).
5.3.21 When the measured OD value is in the correct range, select SETUP/OD_MS; use the NEXT and

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
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.
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.

Check the optical density value obtained previously with 4 cm, with 1.5 cm, and with 5.5 cm. It must
not vary by more than 0.2 between any two of the three films. If it does:
1. Check the reciprocity low failure compensation parameters A0, A1, and A2.
– If the parameters are not correct, re–enter them manually as explained in Chapter 1 of
the Installation Steering Guide, and perform this Job Card, IST 014, from the beginning.

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.

SECTION 5
PREPARATION
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
D The photo cell must be in its most forward position (towards the patient) throughout the procedures in
this Job Card.
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

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 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.

Note: The centering light should turn on when you enter this menu.
5.3.2 Use + & – keys or rotate console kV button to change the displayed value. When the value is
changed, collimator front and rear blades are moving at once. For the moment, only consider the
movement of the collimator front blade. Stop changing the value when alignment is correct.
Note: If it is impossible to align perfectly the front blade (Diff_F is always above 2 mm, see illustration

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.
Note: If it is impossible to align simultaneously the lateral and rear blades, try to find a position where
Diff_L and Diff_R are both less than 2 mm (see illustration 4). If this compromise is impossible,
perform Job Card IST 036 (Adjustment of Centering device lamp).

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.

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

Normally, the message ”calib OK” appears on the console display.
If the message ”calib error” appears instead, this means that the calculated X–ray tube reference
angle value is out of range. To check this, select SETUP/SETUP/PARAM on the console. The dis-
played value of the calculated X–ray tube reference angle A_REF must be between +2.800E–1 and
+3.500E–1 (0.28 and 0.35) radians.
If the angle is out of range, correct the problem and repeat the calibration (check first that the SID
was effectively set to 560 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.

(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)
6.3.1 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.

6.4.1 Press one of the light centering device activation buttons. The light centering device should light
for 30 seconds.
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.
6.7.1 With Stereotix 2 NOT installed, activate the tube housing arm locking lever and rotate the tube

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.
6.8.1 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.
6.9.1 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.

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.
5.1.1 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).
3–189
GE Medical Systems SENOGRAPHE DMR V2
REV 4 sm 2118407–104
5.1.3 Reload the cassette and make an exposure using the same factors; do not develop the film.
5.1.4 Unload the cassette in the darkroom and place the film on the work surface, emulsion side upwards
and completely covered by an opaque sheet.
Note: for KODAK ORTHO–MA films, the emulsion side is uppermost when the notch is top right.
5.1.5 Prepare the second opaque sheet on the work surface, on the left.
5.1.6 Move the opaque sheet covering the film to the right, uncovering half the film (see illustration 6)
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
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.
5.1.14 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.
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.

5.1.17 Use the densitometer to measure the relative optical density on both parts of the film.
CRITERION 1: Any difference between the relative optical densities measured must be less
than 0.1.
CRITERION 2: Neither optical density measured must exceed 0.2 (except for certain fast films).

REV 4 sm 2118407–104
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.
5.2.1 Perform a sensitometry test on the type of film being used by the customer.
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).
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.).

ADJUSTMENT OF CENTERING DEVICE LAMP
The objective is to adjust the position of the centering device lamp (in all three dimensions, if necessary) so
that the lit field coincides, within acceptable tolerances, with the exposed X–ray field. This is done by first
exposing a film and then illuminating it on the image receptor support to check the coincidence of the lit field
with the exposed area on the X–ray film. The following properties of this coincidence are measured and
adjusted, if necessary, in the following order:
Lateral centering
Field width coincidence
Field depth coincidence
Field front light alignment
Note: Field width, depth and front can be fine–tuned using procedure detailed in IST 028.

Generator calibration must be successfully completed for the screen pair in question before this Job Card is

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.

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.
5.1.2 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

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.

Where an error message refers to a signal with a ”French signal name”, the corresponding
English language signal name is shown between parentheses.
It is also recommended that the ”Service Terminal” be used to consult the error codes stored in
the generator CPU [screen @<310>] and the gantry CPU [screen @<5403>] – (see ASM
