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

1-1 ABOUT THIS MANUAL

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.

SECTION 2 – TORQUE VALUE FOR SCREW TIGHTENING

CAUTION
Use locktite for screws which are installed to the Gantry rotation block. Use stud bolt with
locktite or nylon nut to prevent loosening if a screw is removed in service maintenance.

CAUTION
When you secure stud bolts with locktite, you must keep the screw torque shown in Table
‘Stud Bolt (Steel) with Locktite.’
Do not rotate the Gantry until the locktite hardens. (75 % of maximum strength after 2 hours;
100 % after 16 hours.)

1-4 TEMPERATURE
During the installation and start–up of the system you must take continuous temperature checks to make sure the
environment meets specifications listed in Section 3 of the Preinstallation manual (2124010). Excessive temperature,
coupled with reduced air flow from clogged filters, may overstress components and cause failures.

Filters
Check and clean all electronic equipment dust filters. GE recommends initially doing this on a weekly basis, because
new installations always have dust and dirt present at this stage. Over a period of time, you may increase the mainte-
nance interval as site environment improves.

Specifications
During installation, use the temperature/humidity recorder and a thermometer to record the temperature and relative
humidity in the scan room. Make sure the data you collect meets the following temperature and humidity
specifications.

D Scan Room

– Temperature: 20_ C ~ 28_ C (at least 5_ C/hr gradient)

– Relative Humidity: 20 ~ 70 % RH (Non Condensing)

D Operator’s Room and/or Equipment Room

– Temperature: 15_ C ~ 30_ C (at least 5_ C/hr gradient)

– Relative Humidity: 20 ~ 70 % RH (Non Condensing)

Action
Contact the air conditioning supplier or your local GE service department when your data fails to meet any
specifications.

This information applies to P9180AB or P9180AF PDUs. For 2121798 PDUs, refer to Section 3–1, Power Distribution
Unit (PDU), of the Installation manual (2124011).

Verify that an input selection on the Power Distribution Unit (See Illustration 1–4) meets the input power voltage. If not,
correct them.
The ‘input power voltage’ here means the rating voltage specified on the power distribution box (hospital supply), not
the measured voltage on the power distribution box.

1-5 POWER LINE VOLTAGE (continued)


The following assumes that the power source for the system was checked for mean voltage, as well as any line voltage
disturbance during preinstallation site checks.

Instrument
Use the same instrument (Dranetz, etc.) to monitor line voltage during this check that you used during the preinstalla-
tion check. The recommended line analyzer is the Dranetz Model 606–3 (3 channel) with the 101 frequency option, or
Dranetz Model line monitor plug in modules. You can use a similar analyzer, as long as it can monitor and report mean
voltage, surges, sags, short term impulses, and frequency drift.

Check Using an Instrument


Monitor the input power lines (200 VAC, 208 VAC, 380 VAC, 400 VAC, 415 VAC, 440 VAC, 460 VAC or 480 VAC) to the
PDU at the PDU (on terminals L1, L2, and L3). Check in particular:

D Verify that the current line voltage equals the voltage measured during the preinstallation check.

D Verify that mean line voltage does not fall outside of equipment specifications during the day to day opera-
tion of other site equipment during the installation period.

D Look for any line voltage disturbances and check for a correlation between disturbances and system mal-
functions such as “Aborts” or component failures.

From the printouts, ensure that the power supply meets the following criteria :

D Line Voltage : 200 VAC, 208 VAC, 380 VAC, 400 VAC, 415 VAC, 440 VAC, 460 VAC or
480 VAC
(50 Hz/60 Hz) (Normal Steady State)

D Daily Voltage Variation : +10% to –5% from nominal steady state (50 Hz)
+6% to –9% from nominal steady state (60 Hz)

D Frequency : 50 Hz + 0.5 Hz, 60 Hz + 0.5 Hz.

Check Using an Oscilloscope


Monitor the power lines with an oscilloscope and verify that no significant distortion, noise or transients exist. Switch
between the oscilloscope’s long and short time base to monitor for spikes, as well as line drift over time. Generally,
harmonics of the third, seventh, and eleventh derivative will be the most prevalent.

Action
Investigate any condition that falls out of spec. Identify the problem source(s) and resolve the problem.

3-1 GENERAL
This ‘Software Loading’ describes the Load–From–Cold (LFC) procedure for a full system software loading from an
MOD (Magnetic Optical Disk) and some FDs (Floppy Disks) to the system hard disk. Perform this LFC procedure
when:

D A failure or crash corrupts the hard disk so the existing software can not be used. A Load–From–Cold
rebuilds the operating software on the disk and restores normal system operation.

D CT Engineering has revised the current software to incorporate improvements or correct existing prob-
lems. Replace the old software by performing a Load–From–Cold with the new software.

CAUTION

Save existing patient data any time you perform the LFC procedure or you will lose this data.
The saving procedure is described in the ‘Pre–ATINST Procedure’ menu.

An LFC procedure is outlined in Illustration 3–1.

Save Customer Data before proceeding. You must save Customer Data onto MOD, floppy disks, tape, or optical
disk because the ATINST, LFC (Load–From–Cold) procedure, destroys any information on the system disk. Refer to
the Operator Manuals to complete the following steps.

About MOD Cartridge Type. For data save purpose, use MOD cartridges compatible with the Hitachi MOD drive in
Japanese sites; or use MOD cartridges compatible with the Pioneer MOD drive in except Japanese sites.

About Floppy Disks. For data save purpose, use blank floppy disks, or initialize them with a volume name ‘FPAR’,
even though they are already initialized with this volume name, otherwise, the previously saved data on the floppy
disks will persist (not be overwritten)!
Refer to Section 3-1-2, ‘Floppy Disk Initialize’, of Tab ‘Introduction.’

1. Save Patient Image Data.

Archive existing patient image data to MOD, floppy disks, tape, or optical disk before proceeding, or you will lose
this data. Use the Image File Management function to save data. (Refer to Operator Manual)

2. Save Communication Data:

For any system on which ELINK is installed, save Communication Data on a floppy disk as follows, otherwise, the
data will be deleted during LFC.

a. Press the [Mgt] key.

b. Select COMMUNICATION DATA SAVE/LOAD.

does not need to be preserved. This procedure will erase all previous data contained on the
MOD cartridge.

3. Save Raw Data Files.

Archive raw data files to an MOD or floppy disks if the customer wants to save them. Otherwise, these files are
destroyed during LFC.

Before proceeding to the following save procedure, write down all the raw data file ID numbers to be saved.
If you use floppy disks, format them before proceeding.

3-4 SOFTWARE LOADING (ATINST)

3-4-1 ATINST Operation


The program ATINST included in BOOT floppy performs the most of the LFC procedures, as described below:

D Data File Saving


The following data is automatically saved to the MOD which contains the system software:
Scan Parameter
Patients Information
Series Description
Calibration Files
Station Number Information
Voice Information
System Parameters (including Custom Parameters)

D Disk Initialize

D Software Loading (Standard, Option)


Additional option software will be installed during the “Restore the Custom Parameters” procedure.

D File Allocation
File Allocation creates Variable files for the system hard disk, such as image directory, calibration files,
and image data files. It consists of two phases as follows:

– Variable File Allocation (VRALCT)


- Creates blank image file directory and blank calibration files.

– Image/Raw Data File Reserve (DFRSV)


- Reserves contiguous sectors on the disk for image data and raw data.

D Data File Loading


The data files saved by the Data File Saving function are automatically loaded to the system hard disk.

3-4 SOFTWARE LOADING (ATINST) (continued)

3-4-2 Failure Analysis of ATINST


Each of the ATINST operations are automatically called up after the previous operation is finished. If an error seems
to have occurred while the ATINST program is running, check the following LEDs on the CPW Board:

D FAIL LED: If lit, this LED indicates that a bus error has occurred. (Abnormal state)

D HALT LED: If lit, this LED indicates that the System Operating System has terminated the current
command due to some error. (Abnormal state)

The following two kinds of errors could occur during the execution of the ATINST program:

D An error of the ATINST program itself (Program abort due to a program bug or hardware failure)

D A Deviation between program execution and expected execution


The system has a series of results expected during program execution called Text File. The system traces
the program execution (written into a file called Log File) and compares this with the Text File. If a mis-
match is found between them, this is reported as an error.

If either of the above errors occur, the following menu will be displayed:

Current Task Aborted Unexpectedly


File Name : xxxx (a program name to which an error is occurred)
1. Exit INSTALLATION
2. Retry Current Task
Select Menu No. =

Menu 1: Terminates the ATINST program.


Menu 2: Retries the program in which the error occurred.

Retry of ATINST
After terminating the ATINST program by selecting ‘1’ in the menu, retry ATINST.

The ATINST program will start as ‘Reloading Mode’, or ‘First Loading Mode’, depending on when the program failed.
After the ATINST program is successfully finished, restore the following data files if they were saved as backup, AF-
TER performing step 1 (Restore the InSite software) and step 2 (Restore the Custom Parameters) in ‘Post–ATINST
Procedure’; since the System Parameters HAVE to be loaded AFTER InSite and Elink (if system has) software are
restored.

SECTION 4 – SOFTWARE LOADING (Zj)

4-1 GENERAL
This ‘Software Loading’ describes the Load–From–Cold (LFC) procedure for a full system software loading from an
MOD (Magnetic Optical Disk) and some FDs (Floppy Disks) to the system hard disk.
Perform this LFC procedure when:

D A failure or crash corrupts the hard disk so the existing software can not be used. A Load–From–Cold
rebuilds the operating software on the disk and restores normal system operation.

D CT Engineering has revised the current software to incorporate improvements or correct existing prob-
lems. Replace the old software by performing a Load–From–Cold with the new software.

The LFC procedure is outlined in Illustration 4–1.


After completing the LFC procedure (version–up procedure; to V 4.00), revision–up/version–up procedures (→ V/R
4.01 → V/R 5.00 → V/R 5.01 → V/R 5.02 → V/R 5.03) also should be preformed.

4-3 PRE–ATINST PROCEDURE


Save Customer Data before proceeding. You must save Customer Data onto MOD, floppy disks, tape, or optical
disk because this LFC (Load–From–Cold) procedure destroys any information on the system disk. Refer to the Oper-
ator Manuals to complete the following steps.

About MOD Cartridge Type. For data save purpose, use MOD cartridges compatible with the Hitachi MOD drive in
Japanese sites; or use MOD cartridges compatible with the Pioneer MOD drive in except Japanese sites.

About Floppy Disks. For data save purpose, use blank floppy disks, or initialize them with a volume name ‘FPAR’,
even though they are already initialized with this volume name, otherwise, the previously saved data on the floppy
disks will persist (not be overwritten)!
Refer to Section 3-1-2, ‘Floppy Disk Initialize’, of Tab ‘Introduction.’

1. Save Patient Image Data.

Archive existing patient image data to MOD, floppy disks, tape, or optical disk before proceeding, or you will lose
this data. Use the Image File Management function to save data. (Refer to Operator Manual)

2. Save Communication Data:

For any system on which ELINK or YLINK is installed, save Communication Data on a floppy disk, otherwise, the
data will be deleted during LFC.

a. Press the [Mgt] key.

b. Select TRANSMIT IMAGES.

c. Select AUTO TRANSMISSION.

4-4 SOFTWARE LOADING (ATINST)

4-4-1 ATINST Operation


The program ATINST included in BOOT floppy performs the most of the LFC (Load–From–Cold) procedures, as de-
scribed below:

D Data File Saving


The following data are automatically saved to the MOD which contains the system software:
Scan Parameter
Patients Information
Series Description
Calibration Files
Station Number Information
Voice Information
System Parameters (including Custom Parameters)

D Disk Initialize

D Software Loading (Standard, Option)


Additional option software will be installed during the ‘Restore the Custom Parameters’ procedure.

D File Allocation
File Allocation creates Variable files for the system hard disk, such as image directory, calibration files,
and image data files. It consists of two phases as follows:

– Variable File Allocation (VRALCT)


- Creates blank image file directory and blank calibration files.

– Image/Raw Data File Reserve (DFRSV)


- Reserves contiguous sectors on the disk for image data and raw data.

D Data File Loading


The data files saved by the Data File Saving function are automatically loaded to the system hard disk.

4-4 SOFTWARE LOADING (ATINST) (continued)

4-4-2 Failure Analysis of ATINST


Each of the ATINST operations are automatically called up after the previous operation is finished. If an error seems
to have occurred while the ATINST program is running, check the following LEDs on the FMP1 Board:

D DMA LED: When this is blinking it indicates that the program is accessing the hard disk or floppy disk.
It shows that the system is operating normally.

D BER LED: If lit, this LED indicates that a bus error has occurred. (Abnormal state)

D HLT LED: If lit, this LED indicates that the System Operating System has terminated the current
command due to some error. (Abnormal state)

The following two kinds of errors could occur during the execution of the ATINST program:

D An error of the ATINST program itself (Program abort due to a program bug or hardware failure)

D A Deviation between program execution and expected execution


The system has a series of results expected during program execution called Text File. The system traces
the program execution (written into a file called Log File) and compares this with the Text File. If a mis-
match is found between them, this is reported as an error.

If either of the above errors occurs, the following menu will be displayed:

Current Task Aborted Unexpectedly


File Name : xxxx (a program name to which an error is occurred)
1. Exit INSTALLATION
2. Retry Current Task
3. Display Log File
4. Display Text File
Select Menu No. =

Menu 1: Terminates the ATINST program.


Menu 2: Retries the program in which the error occurred.
Menu 3: Displays what was executed and the results.
Menu 4: Displays the normally expected results of the program execution.

Use Menu 3 and Menu 4 to compare the Log File and Text File.

Retry of ATINST
After terminating the ATINST program by selecting ‘1’ in the menu, retry ATINST.

The ATINST program will start as ‘Reloading Mode’, or ‘First Loading Mode’, depending on when the program failed.
After the ATINST program is successfully finished, perform the following in the order described; since the System
Parameters HAVE to be loaded AFTER InSite and Elink or Ylink (if system has) software are restored.

1. Restore the InSite Software. (step 2 in Section 4-5, ‘Post–ATINST Procedure’)


2. Restore the Custom Parameters. (step 3 in Section 4-5, ‘Post–ATINST Procedure’)
3. Restore Data Files. (if the following were saved as backup)

It will take approximately 40 minutes for the ATINST program to complete all its operations.

During operations, the BUSY indicator on the MOD drive repeats On & OFF, and you can know what operations
are being performed by looking at the CRT monitor screen; however, ignore all the inquires that appear, except
the following:

1. PROTECTED MOD
If a Sony MOD drive is used, and if it is not the ‘First Loading Mode’, the following message will appear after
inserting the MOD.

** PROTECTED MOD
After insert Unprotected MOD and Press <ENTR>

This is because that the system software can not write on a MOD media of single density (644 MB) with the
Sony MOD drive.

This Hilight calibration should be performed prior to the air and phantom calibrations; and the air and phantom calibra-
tions should be performed if once the Hilight calibration is performed.

The x–ray tube must be sufficiently cool (the tube case temperature must be below 10 % heat level).




SOME HILIGHT CALIBRATIONS ROTATE THE GANTRY. WHEN HILIGHT CALIBRATION IS


PERFORMED WITHOUT THE GANTRY COVERS INSTALLED, ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT NO
PERSON IS IN THE SCAN ROOM.

6-3-3 XT Calibration
The Lumex crystals of the Detector cells generate light when they are hit by x–rays. Since the crystals are placed close
to the crystals of the adjacent channels, the light from one channel can interfere with adjacent channels, causing
crosstalk noise. This procedure creates the calibration file to compensate this interference.
This calibration takes approximately 15 minutes.

SECTION 2 – OC OPERATION

2-1 OC POWER–UP SEQUENCE (Qj, Qj–Base, Qj–Hlt, Zj–Adv)

Power–up Sequence
The processor of the Operator Console starts with a power–on self test right after powered on, as follows:

[CPW Test – Phase 1] → [DISP (or DISP2) Test – Phase 1] → [CPW Test – Phase 2] → [IPU2 Test] →
[DISP (or DISP2) Test – Phase 2] → [MISC2 Test]

The test progress information is displayed on the CRT monitor for [CPW Test – Phase 2] and the subsequent tests.

Either ‘Power–on Test 1’ or ‘Power–on Test 2’ is performed as the power–on test, according to the dip switch setting on
the CPW Board;
Power–on Test 1: Takes 4 minutes. This test is selected for normal operations.
Power–on Test 2: Takes more than 45 minutes. This test is a more extensive one than Power–on Test 1.

Note
The above power–on test 2 will fail, if both of the following two statements are true:
 The CPW Board part number is 2110738.
 The IPU2 Board is equipped with less than 144 MB memory.
In this case, a test ‘IPU (33) MEMORY MODULE TEST’ will fail approximately 50 minutes after the
power–on test start, generating a “CPU TIMEOUT ERROR” message.
If the CPW Board is of 2110738–02 or later revision, the problem does not occur.

After the power–on test completes with no error occurred, the processor loads the operation and application software
from the hard disk into memory and starts the application software.
When no error is found in these processes, the system logo message will be shown on the CRT monitor.

2-2 OC POWER–UP SEQUENCE (Zj)

Power–up Sequence
The processors (FMP1 and DMP4) of the Operator Console start with a power–on self test right after powered on.

The File processor (FMP1) and Scan/Display processor (DMP4) each perform a self test independently, and also
perform a communication test with each other.

After the power–on test completes with no error occurred, the File processor loads the operation and application soft-
ware from the hard disk into memory and starts the application software.
When no error is found in these processes, the system logo message will be shown on the CRT monitor.

A firmware program of FMP1 and DMP4 oversees these operations and displays their status on eight bit LEDs on each
board. These status codes become error codes if the system fails during any operation.

1. Switch OFF the Operator Console.

2. Remove the Operator Console front cover.

3. Verify that Boot Mode Select switch (Location: 16A) on the FMP1 Board (slot #30) is set as illustrated below.

(Do not switch ON the XG (Safety Loop) switch)

Note
The Gantry rotation alarm sounds indicate that Gantry rotation is enabled.

The Gantry starts rotating at 15 sec/Rot and stops at a position whose angle from Home is symmetrical to the
angle of the start position, after one or two rotations (during which Gantry Initialize Sequence is performed).
The Gantry Display shows the Test Sequence pattern. See Illustration 3–4.

During the Gantry Initialize Sequence, if the Gantry can not rotate (ex. TGP service switch (SYS/OFF/MNL) is
set to OFF), LEDs ‘ERRG’ and ‘LOOPG’ are lit on alternately on the TGP Board. (Waiting for Gantry rotation)
To release this status, push the reset button, after setting the service switches properly.

tudes (preset filament currents) for each KV–MA station. In normal scans, the generator sets a filament current to
this preset value at the start of exposure.

1. Set the 42 cm Polypropylene Phantom to the phantom holder.

Move the cradle to a position just over the Detector window.


(This is to protect the Detector by reducing x–ray dose to it during the calibration procedure)

1-3 HEAT SOAK


The Heat Soak procedure should be performed when the x–ray tube is replaced, after performing the ‘Tube
Calibration’ procedure.

Prerequisites for Heat Soak Procedure


D The x–ray tube should be sufficiently cool; Anode/Case Heat should be at 0%.

1. Prepare the heat soak protocol:

The protocol shown in Table 1–1 is used for the heat soak procedure.
Enter all the parameters either to a scan screen, or (register) to Preset Scan Parameters. If you register the
parameters to Preset Scan Parameters, you can use it later without having to enter all the parameters one by
one.
To display the registration screen, push the following buttons in the order written:
(Qj, Qj–Base, Qj–Hlt)
[Preset Prmtr] → SCAN PARAMETER → I–EXTR → MULTI/DYNAMIC Menu No. 20
(If No. 20 is already used by the customer, use an other No.)

(Zj–Adv, Zj)
[Maint] → SCAN PRESET PARAMETER → AuxB → Infant → Para. Set → Multi Scan → SGL/MLT Menu. No.
10
(If No. 10 is already used by the customer, use an other No.)

2. Set the 42 cm Polypropylene Phantom to the phantom holder.

Move the cradle to a position just over the Detector window.


(This is to protect the Detector during the heat soak procedure by reducing x–ray dose to it)

3. Verify that ‘Anode’ and ‘Case’ heat indicators on the screen are at 0%.

4. Perform the scan sequence, as prepared in step 1.

It will take approximately six minutes to complete the scan sequence.

To terminate the scan sequence before completion while scanning, press the <Abort> key.

If the system detects XG Fail or other error condition, this procedure will be terminated.
To retry the heat soak procedure, wait until the Anode/Case Heat falls to 0%.

Note
Do not perform a warm–up or scans for at least ten minutes after completing this heat soak proce-
dure.

NOTICE

Do not set the SYS/OFF/MNL switch to OFF except in emergency while the Gantry is rotating,
or the static brake will be damaged.

Note
1. Do not repeatedly accelerate and decelerate the Gantry over a limited period of time; this may
cause ‘OVER LOAD ERROR’ in the servo amplifier.

2. The Gantry might act abnormally if it has been rotated by hand. If this occurs, then press the reset
button on the TGP Board.

APPENDIX A – SYMBOLS AND CLASSIFICATION (continued)

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.
