INTRODUCTION

WARNING!
DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY!!
READ AND THOROUGHLY UNDERSTAND THE ‘PROSPEED SERIES SAFETY GUIDELINES’
MANUAL (P9011AW) BEFORE PERFORMING ANY PROCEDURE IN THIS ‘DIAGNOSTICS.’

BEFORE USING THIS MANUAL


This CT system is especially dangerous because its weighty Gantry continuously rotates at high speeds with high
power electric current (550 ∼ 750 VDC) conducted through its slip rings.
The hazards, although sometimes obvious, need to be recognized since the potential for serious injury or death exists.

1. GRAVITY SAG AMPLITUDE


For this procedure, the gravity pin is attached to the X–ray tube collimator during axial scans. This program measures
fluctuations of the projection of the pin onto the Detector to check for abnormalities of the rotating mechanism (bend,
vibrations, etc.).
Perform two off–line scans (see Section 2-3, Off Line Scan), following the instructions described below:

1. Air File
Remove the bow–tie filter from the collimator, and scan air. Record the series No.

2. POC File (Pin on Collimator)


Remove the bow–tie filter (same as for Air File). Attach the SAG alignment pin to the collimator. Scan the pin,
and record the series No.

The ISO CENTER CHANNEL program determines the center channel of the Detector which receives the projection
of a pin placed in the reconstruction area. The system determines the center channel at each view, then calculates
the average center channel and displays it along with instructions to shift the X–ray tube into proper alignment. Shift
the X–ray tube tangentially to the rotation circle.
The correct iso center channel is 406.75 Ch. (For Xe Type Detector System); or, 458.75 Ch.(For SS Type Detector
System).
The adjustment tolerance is ±0.02 Ch. Perform four off–line scans (see Section 2-3, Off Line Scan), following the
instructions described below:

The Support Display can display the following files created in Support programs.
Raw data files No. 1 ∼ 3
Mean files No. 1 ∼ 16

See Illustration 3–7.

Support Display can be used for any raw data files listed in RAW DATA FILE DIRECTORY (Support program) or any
files stored in OFF LINE SCAN; For this, these raw data files should be stored in STATISTICS. In STATISTICS, a
raw data file can be stored to any of No. 1 ∼ 3.
Support Display can also be used for any mean files listed in MEAN FILE DIRECTORY, or stored in STATISTICS,
CALCULATION WITH MEAN FILE, or CALCULATION WITH RAW DATA.

For example of storing a raw data file;

a. Enter the STATISTICS program.

b. Select ORIGINAL in the FAN menu.

c. Store the raw data file to any of No. 1 ∼ 3.

In Support Display, use the following file names for FILE SELECTION.
All the mean files are stored in a file named SUPMEAN, since a mean file only takes storage space for one view.

File name Raw data file, Mean file

This menu graduates the channel and view axes and/or draws grid lines according to the graduations on the image
field.

Note
When displaying the different grid of graduations, first erase the displayed grid using the erase func-
tion (menu item 12), then perform the following. If not erased, a new grid is superimposed on the
old one.

1. Select menu item 13 (GRID).

2. Enter the graduations for CHANNEL and VIEW axes.

Note
For a raw data file, enter both channel and view graduations.
For a mean file, enter only channel graduation.

If the values below are entered, for example, both axes will be graduated at intervals of 50 values.
( If you magnify the image so that multiple pixels depict each channel and view, the program uses
the center pixel.)
CHANNEL =50
VIEW =50

3. Select Grid Type or Axis Type; see below.

Select ‘0:Yes’ in response to LINE?, if displaying grid type of graduation.


Select ‘1:No’ in response to LINE?, if displaying axis type of graduation.

GRID TYPE (LINE? 0:YES) AXIS TYPE (LINE? 1:NO)

Note
The graduations start from Channel=0, View=0.
Therefore, if the start position is set to Channel=101, View=101 and the graduations are set to Chan-
nel=50, View=50, for example, the graduations are displayed from Channel=150, View=150.

SECTION 2 – POWER–ON TEST


(Qj, Qj–Base, Qj–Hlt, Zj–Adv)

2-1 OVERVIEW
The Power–ON test program is used for OC self–diagnostics during the Power up sequence, and is resident in the
ROM on the CPW assy.

This test program has two categories; Power On Test 1 (P–ON 1) and Power On Test 2 (P–ON 2).
The P–ON Test 2 includes more detailed tests than P–ON Test 1, and takes longer to run.
P–ON Test 1 is normally selected during routine customer operation. P–ON Test 2 can be used by the field engineer
to perform a more detailed analysis in the event of an error occurring on the system.

During test execution, the test currently running, along with the description/name and status (pass/fail), are identified
in 2 or 3 ways depending on the test concerned as follows:

1. CPW LEDs (all tests)

2. CRT display monitor (all tests, except CPW Phase1, and DISP (DISP2) Phase 1 tests)

3. Terminal connected to CPW RS232C output (all tests)

See Section 2-2 for more details.

If at any point during the P ON Tests an error is encountered, the testing is halted and the failed test number/code
remains on the CPW LEDs. With the exception of CPW Phase 1 and DISP (DISP2) Phase 1 tests, the test name/des-
cription will also be displayed on the CRT monitor along with a brief error description.

Note
There normally no need to connect a CPW RS232C terminal , since no additional information other
than that on the LEDs and monitor can be obtained during P ON Tests. Connecting a terminal is only
necessary for the execution of the off line tests.

The total processing time is as follows;

TABLE 2–1
TEST PROCESSING TIME

TIME FROM TEST START,


TEST PROCESSING
TO SYSTEM READY
TIME

P–ON 1 TEST 4:00 minutes. 4:16 minutes.

P–ON 2 TEST 13:05 minutes. 13:21 minutes.

2-1 OVERVIEW (continued)

Reading Hexa–decimal Numbers from LEDs


The hexa–decimal number in each rectangle herein represents the LED status displayed on the CPW board. Read
the LEDs from top to bottom (MSB to LSB). Decode the top four LEDs to create the most significant hex digit (the
leftmost digit) and the bottom four to create the least significant hex digit (the rightmost digit). All hexa–decimal codes
are displayed with the letter ”H”.

More detailed status and information is displayed on the CRT from CPW Phase 2 test, so it is normally not necessary
to decode the LEDs status.

Example:

8
7
6 bit 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 (LSB)
5
1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 (90H)
4
3
2
1

” ” means ”Illuminated” and equals ”1”: ” ” equals ”0”. LEDs are set at the start of each routine. If any error occurs
during self–testing, the LEDs display the corresponding error code.

DIP SWITCH SETTING


ILLUSTRATION 2–1

The DIP SW setting information is read at the moment of system power up or reset. Changing the DIP switch setting
during test execution will have no effect on the test sequence. If you want to change the parameters, first set the DIP
SW accordingly, then press the OC reset switch to start the test.

Note
This test program does not write any data to the HD, but it does require a properly formatted HD.
i.e; The tests will run with a normal operational HD, but not with an unformatted replacement HD.

2-5 CRASH SAVE AREA


When abnormal termination is caused by any failure (Bus Error, Address Error, or OS task crash), error information
is stored into an area of Memory called the “Crash Save Area.” Each processor has a Crash Save Area.

The Crash Save Area contains the following information:

S Program Counter
S Status Register
at crash
S Other registers
S LED status

For details, see Illustration 2–3.

The Crash Save Area on each processor is saved onto the hard disk at power–on. You can also save this information
onto floppy diskette as shown in Illustration 2–4. Use the following procedure to transfer Crash Save Area information
to floppy diskette.

Under crash condition-:

1. Label a crash save floppy diskette and insert it into the floppy disk drive.

Note
The first time you use this diskette, initialize it for a crash save according to Appendix A, How to Make
Crash Save Disk, of the System tab.

2. Pull the system reset switch with the diskette in place to automatically transfer a copy of the crash save area
of each processor onto the diskette. The system reset switch is located beneath OC keyboard console exten-
sion.

3. Use the following procedure to read the contents of the diskette.

a. Insert the ”BOOT” diskette into the floppy disk drive.

b. Set the boot select SW on the CPW board to the following positions:

ON

SECTION 3 – POWER–UP SEQUENCE (Zj)

3-1 OVERVIEW
This section describes the System Power–up Sequence, which consists of hardware tests, the Operating System
(OS) load, and Applications program start up. Each processor board (FMP1, DMP4, PDC) has 8–bit LEDs that display
system status in hexadecimal code.

The power–up sequence includes the power–up self tests shown in Illustration 3–1. The following section tells you
how to skip these self tests by setting a DIP SW. The hexadecimal number in each rectangle represents the LED
status displayed on each board (FMP1, DMP4, PDC). Read the LEDs from top to bottom (MSB to LSB) . Decode
the top four LEDs to create the most significant hex digit (the leftmost digit) and the bottom four to create the least
significant digit (the rightmost digit). All hexadecimal codes are displayed with the letter ”H”: XXH

EXAMPLE:

8
7
6
bit 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 (LSB)
5
(90H)
4 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0
3
2
1

“ ” means “Illuminated” and equals a “1.” “ ” equals “0”. LEDs are set at the start of each routine. If any error
occurs during self–test, the LED status becomes the error code, and the power–up sequence halts. If an error occurs
during the boot–up sequence, the LEDs display an error code. The following sections describe these error codes.
Detailed error information is also stored in the Crash Save Area, which is described in Section 3-6.

Section 8 describes LED information found on other boards.

Plasma Display Controller (PDC) Start Sequence


D Waiting Boot–up Acceptance
The LEDs on the PDC board are set to A1H after the power–up test completes. The PDC requests the
DMP4 to boot–up the PDC. The PDC remains in this state until the DMP4 enters phase (90H) and returns
the acceptance to the PDC.

D Waiting Boot–up End


When the DMP4 returns the acceptance message to the PDC, the LEDs on the PDC board are set to A3H
until the DMP4 completes the boot–up procedure.

D Boot–up End
The PDC LEDs are set to 90H for a moment upon completion of the boot–up procedure.

D Demand of PDC Data Base File Read


The PDC sets its LEDs to B1H and requests the DMP4 to send the PDC Data Base file to the PDC. The
PDC reads six font files, from which the PDC creates the font table. The LEDs remain the same until this
operation completes.

D Boot–up End
After completion of the above procedures the LEDs are set to 90H, and the PDC notifies the DMP4 of the
boot–up procedure end. This LED status is kept during normal operation.

3-6 CRASH SAVE AREA


When abnormal termination is caused by any failure (Bus Error, Address Error, or OS task crash), some error informa-
tion is stored into an area of Memory called the “Crash Save Area.” Each processor has a Crash Save Area.

The Crash Save Area contains the following information.

S Program Counter
S Status Register
at crash
S Other registers
S LED status

For details, see Illustration 3–4.

The Crash Save Area on each processor is saved onto the hard disk at power–on. You can also save this information
on the floppy diskette, as shown in Illustration 3–5. Use the following procedure to transfer Crash Save Area informa-
tion to floppy diskette.

Under crash condition-:

1. Label a crash save floppy diskette and insert it floppy disk drive.

Note
The first time you use this diskette, initialize it for a crash save according to APPENDIX A, “HOW TO
MAKE CRASH SAVE DISKETTE.”

2. Pull the system reset switch with the diskette in place to automatically transfer a copy of the crash save area of
each processor onto the diskette. (System reset located beneath OC keyboard console extension)

3. Use the following procedure to read the contents of the diskette.

a. Insert the ”BOOT” diskette into the floppy disk drive.

b. Set the boot select SW on FMP1 board to the following positions:

ON
BOOT SELECT SWITCH SETTING
ILLUSTRATION 3–3

c. Pull the system reset SW.

d. Make sure the “F>” prompt appears on the CRT monitor, then remove the “BOOT” diskette and insert the
crash save diskette.

e. The diskette contents should resemble Illustration 2–5.

The selected test will be executed, by powering on or resetting the operator console. Under the non–terminal mode,
the test will be executed right after power on or reset, and the test results can be known with the status LEDs on the
SCSI board.

(a) TEST
This LED comes on during the test execution, and goes off after the test completion.

(b) ERROR
This LED comes on when an error occurs.

(c) TEST NO.


The LEDs tell the test No. being currently executed. The test No. will remain if an error occurs (except for the
Continue test mode).

(d) TEST PHASE


The two LEDs show the test phase of a test (a test consists of some steps). When an error occurs, the test phase
information will remain, so you can know on which phase the error occurred (during the Continue test mode,
however, the information will not be kept). The LEDs will show ‘0’ when the test finishes without an error. The
test phases for each test are described in the following table:

SECTION 6 – ETC BOARD TEST

The ETC test programs contain the following:

D ETC POWER–ON TEST

D ETHERNET ADDRESS VERIFICATION

Note
Each test for the ETC does not depend on OC self–diagnostics test (Power–ON/Off–Line tests), so
that both self–diagnostics tests of OC and ETC can be performed at the same time.

6-1 ETC POWER–ON TEST

6-1-1 General
The ETC (DC–X Ethernet Controller Interface) Power–ON test program is used for ETC self–diagnostics during the
Power up sequence, and is resident in the ROM on the ETC assy.

During test execution, the test currently running, along with the description/name and status (pass/fail), are identified
in ETC LEDs.

If at any point during the Power–ON Tests an error is encountered, the testing is halted and the error code displays
on the ETC LEDs.

6-2 ETHERNET ADDRESS VERIFICATION


This test is performed to check if the ethernet address data back–uped by the internal battery of the ETC board is
stored without error. If data is destroyed, first check if the internal battery has been consumed. Weak battery can
not back up the ethernet data into the RAM. (Normally for 5 to 10 years, the internal battery can be used without
replacement.)

1. Connect the external terminal display to the CN4 of the ETC board.

2. Set the dip switch (location:S6A) to the $4 position.

SECTION 3 – OFF–LINE TEST

3-1 TGP BOARD OFF–LINE TEST


The TGP Assembly contains three micro processor systems. (i.e., Gantry Processor(GP), Table Processor(TP) and
Management Processor (MP) )

These Processor systems can execute the OFF-LINE programs used for subsystem Adjustment, Functional Check
and Diagnostics.

Each Processor holds test programs in its own PROM. Execute each Processor’s OFF-LINE TEST program indepen-
dently with the DIAG switches and test switches.

The Micro Processor displays the test results and/or error on the Gantry Display Panel, so it requires a normally oper-
ating TABLE Processor display function. Execute the OFF-LINE TEST program after successful completion of the
TABLE PROCESSOR DISPLAY TEST.

CAUTION
Do NOT perform the Table, Gantry or Management processor OFF–LINE test programs in par-
allel.

3-1-1 Table Processor I/O Port Status Check


1. Set T6 of the TABLE PROCESSOR DIAG. SWITCH to the “ON” position. (See Illustration 3–1)

2. Press the”Reset” switch of the TGP Board, or switch ON the Control switch at the gantry rear base if it is in the
OFF position.

3. The gantry display shows the Test Number (000) and cradle position value in decimal form.

(i.e., AD CONVERTER VALUE)

Use Test Number 014 ~ 019 to check the cradle movement at various speed settings.
In Test Number 020, count values of the cradle encoder pulses per one gantry rotation are displayed on the gantry
display during helical scans.

Table 3–1 shows the bit assignment of the I/O ports.

3-2 OGP BOARD OFF–LINE TEST (continued)

3-2-2 TGP Test Mode


This test mode checks the DAS trigger pulses. In this mode the DAS trigger pulses are counted every time the GPLS2
pulse is detected by the OGP, the counted value being sent to the Operator Console and displayed with letters XG
ERR and APERTURE ERR on the CRT monitor.

1. For ROM: 2121676


Set S3 of the SW3 to OFF, S2 to ON, and S1 to OFF.
For ROM: 2107557, P9183ZP, P9183ZQ
Set S6 and S1 of the SW3 to OFF.

2. Push the SW2 once.

3. Rotate the Gantry manually within 5seconds (For Qj Type Only:1 minute) of pushing the SW2.

4. The count value of the DAS trigger pulses is displayed with APERTURE ERR and XG ERR letters, every time
the OGP receives the GPLS2 pulse.

Normally the following values should be displayed.

for Gantry with Xe Type Detector for Gantry with SS Type Detector
XG ERR 0F6H or 106H or 116H XG ERR FF6H or 007H or 017H
APERTURE ERR 7H APERTURE ERR 8H

5. For ROM: 2121676


Set S3, S2, and S1 of the SW3 to OFF, and press the RESET switch on the OGP board.
For ROM: 2107557, P9183ZP, P9183ZQ
Set S6 and S1 of the SW3 to ON, and press the RESET switch on the OGP board.

3-2-3 Scan Test Mode


This test mode sends the number of spits occurred during the previous X–ray exposure.

1. For ROM: 2121676


Set S3 of the SW3 to ON, S2 to ON, and S1 to OFF.
For ROM: 2107557, P9183ZP, P9183ZQ
Set S5 and S1 of the SW3 to OFF.

2. Push the SW2 once.

The number of spits occurred during the previous HV ON is sent to the Operator Console and displayed with
letters XG ERR when the HV turns OFF. For example, XG ERR 003 indicates that spits occurred three times
during the previous X–ray on time. This operation continues until reset or power–off.

If a spit occurs during a Multi Scan Sequence, even once, the further planned scans are inhibited from being
performed.

3. For ROM: 2121676


Set S3, S2, and S1 of the SW3 to OFF, and press the RESET switch on the OGP board.
For ROM: 2107557, P9183ZP, P9183ZQ

SECTION 1 – GENERAL DESCRIPTIONS

1-1 GENERATOR MODE


Two modes are defined for the x–ray generator operations, as follows:

D Operation Mode The normal mode. Scans are performed in this mode.

D Service/Calibration Mode In this mode the generator accepts and executes Service Tests (described
in Section 4), or performs MA Calibration.

For each of the generator modes, Generator Phases are defined as described below.

1-2 GENERATOR PHASE


Eight phases (phase 0 through phase 7) are defined for the x–ray generator operations, as follows:

D phase 0 (Power–on Test or Service Mode) After powering on or resetting the generator, the generator
is in phase 0, during which power–on tests are performed within the generator. Also, the generator ac-
cepts Service Test Commands in this phase.

D phase 1 (Idling) The generator proceeds to phase 1, after the power–on tests are finished without
errors. In this phase a preheating current is flowing in the x–ray tube filament (approximately 3 A).

D phase 2 (Exposure Preparation) In this phase, Exposure Preparation is performed.


Exposure Preparation: The x–ray tube rotor starts to rotate and the filament is heated by a current prede-
termined on the selected KV–MA station.

D phase 3 (Exposure Ready) The generator is ready for exposure, waiting for the exposure command
from the system (Operator Console).

D phase 4 (KV Rise) The KV starts to rise. When the KV exceeds 75 % of the set KV, the generator
goes to phase 5.

D phase 5 (KV Control) The KV is controlled to the set KV.

D phase 6 (KV Fall) The KV starts to fall. When the KV falls below 25 % of the set KV, the generator
goes to phase 7.

D phase 7 (Rotor Brake) The generator starts to decelerate the rotor by applying inverse voltage to the
x–ray tube stator, then goes to phase 1.

1-3 DEVICE DESIGNATORS


Refer to Illustration 1–2, which overviews the x–ray generator system and includes device designators as explained
below:

Circuit Boards
The OBC (On Board Computer) rack or X–ray Generator Controller rack contains four circuits boards:
a board which contains an inverter for the x–ray tube filament and controls the filament current;
a board which controls the CTVRC power module which supplies electric currents to the x–ray tube stator;
a board which controls an inverter which generates high frequency power for the high voltage tanks;
and CPU Board.
These boards are called Filament Board, Rotor Board, KV Board, and CPU Board, respectively, in these X–ray Gener-
ator Diagnostics sections.

Inverters
The x–ray generator has three units of inverters:
an invertor which supplies power to the x–ray tube stator and is contained within the CTVRC power module;
an inverter which supplies power for heating the x–ray tube filament. This inverter exists on the Filament Board; and
an inverter which outputs high frequency power to the high voltage transformers.
These inverters are called Rotor Inverter, Filament Inverter, and KV Inverter, respectively, in these X–ray Generator
Diagnostics sections.
The KV Inverter includes Anode Inverter and Cathode Inverter.

3-2 ERROR CODES (continued)

3-2-2 Generator Error and Command Error


The generator detects two kinds of errors, called Generator Errors and Command Errors.

D Generator Error
If a Generator Error occurs, the generator takes the following actions (refer to Illustration 3–1):

– terminates the exposure (INV_ON) and resets the KV Board (KV_RESET and SPIT_RESET)

– disables the filament heating (FIL_EN) and resets the Filament Board (FIL_RESET)

– disables the rotor operation (ROT_EN) and resets the Rotor Board (ROT_RESET)

– opens the safety loop

– goes to phase 1 and resumes filament preheating three seconds after the reset operations.

D Command Error
If a Command Error occurs, the generator sends the error code to the system (Operator Console). Howev-
er, the generator does not change its actions.

SECTION 4 – SERVICE TESTS

4-1 GENERAL
The diagnostic tests for the x–ray generator are classified into the following three kinds:

D Power–on Test
This is automatically performed when the generator is powered–on, or is reset. The tests are mainly per-
formed on Rotor Board, Filament Board, KV board, and CPU Board itself (self test).

D Service Tests
Test the rotor control function, filament current control function, KV control function, or PDU operation.

D Operation Mode Tests


During the generator is operating in the operation mode (i.e., when scans are performed), generator op-
erations (MA accuracy, KV balance, etc.) are checked.

4–1 X–RAY GENERATOR


GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS CT PROSPEED SERIES DIAGNOSTICS
REV 1 2228782

4-2 POWER–ON TEST


When the generator is powered–on, or is reset, the following tests are automatically performed:

D CPU Board Test

D Autotests for Rotor Board, Filament Board, and KV Board

Autotest
This is a predetermined sequence of tests, performed by the CPU Board. If an error is detected, the error code is
sent to the Operator Console.

Autotests can also be executed by off–line commands, described in the SERVICE TEST section. The test results
shown on the CRT monitor includes hexadecimal codes, which tell that how the values of logical signals on the circuit
board changed in response to test signals; which may be useful information to know the detailed circuit operations
on the board, but not so for diagnostic purposes; therefore, these will not be explained.

4-2-1 CPU Board Test


It is a self test. The following tests are sequentially performed:

D Register pattern read/write

D EPROM checksum test

D RAM pattern read/write

D DUART test: DTACK, TIMER, DUART A internal loop, DUART B internal loop, Timer Interrupt

D EEPROM checksum test

SERVICE TEST MODE COMMANDS

COMMAND/ DESCRIPTION
STATUS
( Safety Loop Close Closes the Safety Loop on the system side, which lights the Scan Set"
button. After this operation, when the generator closes the Safety Loop on the generator side,
the complete Safety Loop is closed, which brings up the 550 (or 750) VDC.
) Safety Loop Open Opens the Safety Loop on the system side, which extinguishes the Scan
Set" button.
< Exposure Command ON Asserts the Exposure Command signal to the generator. This operaĆ
tion lights the Scan" button. If the generator is ready (in phase 3), an exposure is started.
> Exposure Command OFF Deasserts the Exposure Command signal. This operation extinĆ
guishes the Scan" button.
<RTN> Message Request Displays service test results, or generator phase which the generator is
(Return) currently operating in or has been operating in.
N Phase 0 to 1 This command changes the generator phase from phase 0 (service mode) to phase
1.
S Phase 1 to 0 This command changes the generator phase from phase 1 to phase 0. Before perĆ
forming a service test, the generator is operating in phase 1. Before sending a service test comĆ
mand to the generator, you should send this command S" to let the generator operate in phase
0. This command is accepted when the generator is operating in phase 1.ă
SE0 Service Test Exit Terminates the test which is currently running, or exit the current service test.

Note: Once entering a service test (SXX; see below), this command should be entered before
exiting the service mode (phase 0) by the N" command (see above), otherwise, a system error
may occur; if this happens, push the reset switch on the CPU Board of the generator.
Refer to Illustration 4-1. RESET SW

CPU BOARD

SXX Service Test Command XX is test numbers (11, 12, ...). This command runs a selected test.
Service test commands are accepted when the generator is operating in phase 0.
PX Generator Phase X: 0, 1, ... , 7 PX indicates Generator Phase, shown at the FROM: prompt.
Note: The Version 3.05 firmware adds 02" before PX" characters, as 02P2, 02P5, etc. This
02" means the number of characters PX, i.e., two.

For Version 3.05/3.08/3.10/4.01 Firmware only

TEST COMMAND DESCRIPTION


S31 Displays the results of Autotest for KV Board which was last executed (by test S32, or x-ray
generator power-on or reset).
(This is not really a test)
S32 Executes Autotest for KV Board, and displays the test results.
S33 KV Control Test. Tests the KV control circuits on the KV Board. The (large focus) filament
heating operation also is checked.
High voltage is not generated.
This test is related to S34.
S34 Displays the latter part of the test results by S33.
S35 Operates the drive signal (for KV Inverter) generator circuits on the KV Board.
High voltage is not generated.
S36 Anode High Voltage Test. High voltage (+40 kV) is generated but no MA is output from
the HV tank. In this test the KV control circuits are disabled; the feedback circuits from the
HV tank to the control circuits on the KV Board are excluded for test.
S37 Cathode High Voltage Test. High voltage (-40 kV) is generated but no MA is output from
the HV tank. In this test the KV control circuits are disabled; the feedback circuits from the
HV tank to the control circuits on the KV Board are excluded for test.
S38 Anode + Cathode High Voltage Test. High voltage (80 kV) is generated but no MA is output
from the HV tank. In this test the KV control circuits are disabled; the feedback circuits from
the HV tank to the control circuits on the KV Board are excluded for test.
S39 Inverter Test. Operates the KV Inverter with its outputs shorted; therefore, high voltage is
not generated. The enable signal for the Inverter drive signal generator on the KV Board
is pulsed. The Inverter output currents are measured.

If you do not perform this test on the cathode side, remove the jumpers from the anode and cathode HV tanks, and
set jumper ST1 to NOR on the KV Board, as shown in Illustration 4–2.

– Cathode Side Test –


Note
For systems with PDUs whose model number is P9180AB or P9180AF, you do not have to perform
this test on the cathode side, since test was also performed on the cathode side during the anode
side test.

Set jumper ST1 to TCA on the KV Board, prior to starting this test, as shown in Illustration 4–2.

Perform the same procedure as for – Anode Side Test –.

After the Test


After exiting this test, set jumper ST1 to NOR on the KV Board, as shown in Illustration 4–2.

Remove the jumpers from the anode and cathode HV tanks.

CLASS 1 EQUIPMENT
Any permanently installed equipment containing operator or patient accessible surfaces must provide backup protec-
tion against electric shock,in case the BASIC INSULATION fails. In addition to BASIC INSULATION,Class1 equip-
ment contains a direct connection to a PROTECTIVE(EARTH) CONDUCTOR which prevents shocks when a person
touches a broken piece of equipment or touches two different equipment surfaces simultaneously.

TYPE B EQUIPMENT
CLASS I, II, or III EQUIPMENT or EQUIPMENT with INTERNAL ELECTRICAL POWER SOURCES provide an ade-
quate degree of protection against electric shock arising from (allowable) LEAKAGE CURRENTS or a breakdown
in the reliability of the protective earth connection.

ORDINARY EQUIPMENT
Enclosed EQUIPMENT without protection against the ingress of water.

OPERATION 0f EQUIPMENT
CONTINUOUS OPERATION WITH INTERMITTENT LOADING.

Operation in which EQUIPMENT is connected continuously to the SUPPLY MAINS. The stated permissible loading
time is so short that the long term on–load operating temperature is not attained. The ensuing interval in loading is,
however, not sufficiently long for cooling down to the long term no–load operating temperature.

EQUIPMENT not suitable for use in the presence of a FLAMMABLE ANESTHETIC MIXTURE WITH AIR or WITH
OXYGEN or NITROUS OXIDE

CLEANING
The ProSpeed S series system is NOT WATERPROOF. It is NOT designed to protect internal components against
the ingress of liquids.Clean external system surfaces(Gantry,table,consoles and accessories)with a soft cloth dipped
in hot water and wrung DAMP/DRY. (NOT dripping!) IF NECESSARY, use only mild (dish washing liquid) soap to re-
move dirt.

NOTICE

Avoid damage to equipment! Some ”spray and wipe”cleaners etch and permanently cloud
clear plastic surfaces!! Use only warm water and mild liquid soap to clean surfaces.
