ATTENTION
LES APPAREILS A RAYONS X SONT DANGEREUX A LA FOIS POUR LE PATIENT ET POUR LE MANIPULATEUR
SI LES MESURES DE PROTECTION NE SONT PAS STRICTEMENT APPLIQUEES
Bien que cet appareil soit construit selon les normes de sécurité les plus severes, la source de rayonnement X
représente un danger lorsque le manipulateur est non qualifié ou non averti. Une exposition excessive au rayonnement
X entraîne des dommages a l’organisme. Par conséquent, toutes les précautions doivent être prises pour éviter que les
personnes non autorisées ou non qualifées utilisent cet appareil créant ainsi un danger pour les autres et pour elles-
mêmes. Avant chaque manipulation, les personnes qualifiées et autorisées à se servir de cet appareil doivent se
renseigner sur les mesures de protection etablies par la Commission Internationale sur la Protection Radiologique,
Annales 26: Recommandations de la Commission Internationale sure la Protection Radiologique et les normes
nationales en vigueur.
WARNING
X-RAY EQUIPMENT IS DANGEROUS TO BOTH PATIENT AND OPERATOR UNLESS MEASURES OF
PROTECTION ARE STRICTLY OBSERVED.
Though this equipment is built to the highest standards of electrical and mechanical safety, the useful x-ray beam
becomes a source of danger in the hands of the unauthorized or unqualified operator. Excessive exposure to x-radiation
causes damage to human tissue.
Therefore, adequate precautions must be taken to prevent unauthorized or unqualified persons from operating this
equipment or exposing themselves or others to its radiation.
Before operation, persons qualified and authorized to operate this equipment should be familiar with the
Recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), contained in Annals Number 26
of the ICRP, and with applicable national standards.
ATENCION
LOS APARATOS DE RAYOS X SON PELIGROSOS PARA EL PACIENTE Y EL MANIPULADOR CUANDO LAS
NORMAS DE PROTECCION NO ESTAN OBSERVADAS
Aunque este aparato está construido según las normas de seguridad más estrictas, la radiacion X constituye un peligro
al ser manipulado por personas no autorizadas o incompetentes. Una explosicion excesiva a la radiación X puede
causar daños al organismo.
Por consiguiente, se deberán tomar todas las precauciones necesarias para evitar que las personas incompetentes o
no autorizadas utilicen este aparato, lo que seria un peligro para los demás y para si mismas.
Antes de efectuar las manipulaciones, las personas habilitadas y competentes en el uso de este aparato, deberán
informarse sobre las normas de protección fijadas por la Comisión Internacional de la Protección Radiológica, Anales
No 26: Recomendaciones de la Comisión Internacional sobre la Protección Radiológica y normas nacionales.
ACHTUNG
RÖNTGENAPPARATE SIND EINE GEFAHR FUR PATIENTEN SOWIE BEDIENUNGSPERSONAL, WENN DIE
GELTENDEN SICHERHEITSVORKEHRUNGEN NICHT GENAU BEACHTET WERDEN
Dieser Apparat entspricht in seiner Bauweise strengsten elektrischen und mechanischen Sichereitsnormen, doch in den
Händen unbefugter oder unqualifizierter Personen wird er zu einer Gefahrenquelle.
Übermäßige Röntgenbestrahlung ist für den menschlichen Organismus schädlish.
Deswegen sind hinreichende Vorsichtsmaßnahmen erforderlich, um zu verhindern, daßunbefugte oder unqualifizierte
Personen solche Geräte bedienen oder sich selbst und andere Personen deren Bestrahlung aussetzen können.
Vor Inbetriebnahme dieses Apparats solite sich das qualifizierte und befugte Bedienungspersonal mit den geltenden
Kriterien für den gefahrlosen Strahleneinsatz durch sorgfältiges Studium des Hefts Nr. 26 der Internationalen
Kommission für Strahlenschutz (ICRP) vertraut machen: Empfehlungen der Internationalen Kommission für
Strahlenschutz und anderer nationaler Normenbehörden.

Important Precautions
DAMAGE IN TRANSPORTATION
All packages should be closely examined at time of delivery. If damage is apparent, have notation
“damage in shipment” written on all copies of the freight or express bill before delivery is accepted
or “signed for” by a General Electric representative or a facility receiving agent. Whether noted or
concealed, damage MUST be reported to the carrier immediately upon discovery, or in any event,
within 14 days after receipt, and the contents and containers held for inspection by the carrier. A
transportation company will not pay a claim for damage if an inspection is not requested within this
14 day period.
To file a report, call 1-800-548-3366. Select the option for “Install Support Services for FOI/FOA and
MIS.” Contact your local service coordinator for more information on this process.
IMPORTANT...X-RAY PROTECTION
X-ray equipment if not properly used may cause injury. Accordingly, the instructions herein
contained should be thoroughly read and understood by everyone who will use the equipment
before you attempt to place this equipment in operation. GE Healthcare will be glad to assist and
cooperate in placing this equipment in use.
Although this apparatus incorporates a high degree of protection against x-radiation other than the
useful beam, no practical design of equipment can provide complete protection. Nor can any
practical design compel the operator to take adequate precautions to prevent the possibility of any
persons carelessly exposing themselves or others to radiation.
It is important that anyone having anything to do with x-radiation be properly trained and fully
acquainted with the recommendations of the National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurements (NCRP) as published in NCRP Reports available from NCRP Publications, 7910
Woodmont Avenue, Room 1016, Bethesda, Maryland 20814, and of the International Commission
on Radiation Protection, and take adequate steps to protect against injury.
The equipment is sold with the understanding that GE Healthcare, its agents, and representatives
have no responsibility for injury or damage which may result from improper use of the equipment.
Various protective materials and devices are available. It is urged that such materials or devices be
used.

symbol and an appropriate signal word. The safety alert symbol is the triangle with an exclamation
mark within it. It Is always used next to the signal word to indicate the severity of the hazard.
Together, they are used to indicate a hazard exists.
Signal words describe the severity of possible human injures that may be encountered. The alert
symbol and signal word are placed immediately before any paragraph they affect. Safety
information includes:
1.) Signal Word - The seriousness level of the hazard.
2.) Symbol or Pictorial - The consequence of interaction with the hazard.
3.) Word Message:
a.) The nature of the hazard (i.e. the type of hazard)

DO NOT run the firmware download tool with the detector connected wirelessly. Any potential
wireless interruptions will halt the firmware upload process and may cause critical detector
functional issues.
• Firmware package is available on portable media.
• Gen 1 firmware: 2.36
• Gen 2 firmware (for systems with XRAY_DRAGONFLY_DOD_2.X software installed): 3.13+
• Gen 2 firmware (for systems with XRAY_GANAPATI_3.X software installed): 4.8+
Note: Gen1 systems must use the procedure in section 3.6.2.2 below to update detector firmware. All
Gen2 systems, regardless of software version, may use the procedure in section 3.6.2.3 Procedure
for Gen2 Systems Installed with XRAY_DRAGONFLY_DOD_2.X Software on page 80 to update
detector firmware, which requires the service personnel to type code into a terminal; however, if
doing the detector firmware download on a Gen2 system that has XRAY_GANAPATI_3.X software,
the instructions in 3.6.2.4 Procedure for Gen2 Systems Installed with XRAY_GANAPATI_3.X
Software on page 83 may be used. These systems with newer software allow service personnel to
update the detector firmware in the SUIF with button presses

4.6.4 Antivirus
This section applies to Gen 2 only.
Optima XR240amx Gen 2 introduces antivirus scanning in the form of McAfee's Endpoint Security
for Linux Threat Prevention (ENSL). This optional security feature will be enabled by default when
the security option is purchased and configured on the system. GE validates McAfee software and
engine versions to ensure compatibility with system software and firmware. Lack of validated virus
protection could lead to system instability or failure. For this reason, GE Healthcare recommends
only installing McAfee software and engine versions that are listed in 4.6.4.4 Validated Antivirus
Software on page 129.
If a virus is found in a file or directory, the system will quarantine the file and raise a virus detection
security alert to the user. It is best to contact your site's security or network administrators to
determine the root cause of this alert. There is no way to accept the file if it has been quarantined.
The recommended action is to take a system snapshot and then do a LFC on the system.
The alert will take the form of a blinking red bell-shaped icon next to the status bar at the bottom of
the worklist graphical user interface. The icon can be clicked and will display a more detailed
message describing the virus detection alert. When the alert is closed, the blinking red bell-shape
will no longer be displayed. See Figure 4-24 below for the bell-shaped alert icon in the bottom left-
hand corner of the status bar.
The antivirus feature includes three status and configuration user interface pages located in the
SUIF. These pages can be used to check the antivirus, engine file, and virus definition (DAT)
version information, while also providing virus scan summaries.
The ePO is capable of remotely pushing version updates as seen below in Figure 4-26:
1. Once the files have been copied to a USB disk, insert the USB into the system.
2. The file path for the USB stick must be entered so that the system knows where to look to
download and install the new versions. For the Optima XR240amx, this file location will be
/media/usbdisk/. See Figure 4-28 below.
3. Once the file location is specified, the UPDATE DAT and UPDATE ENGINE buttons can be
pressed. The status of the update will be displayed in the screen under Status Information.
See Figure 4-28 above.
Once the update is complete, the Antivirus Details at the top of the page will update to reflect the
new file versions. See Figure 4-29 below.
Note: With a non-ePO configuration, it is the customer's responsibility to maintain up-to-date DAT engine
file definitions.
A summary of the scan results will be displayed in the Status Information box, and more detailed
scan logs can be viewed by clicking on the OnDemandScan link next to the scan log label (see
Figure 4-31). This will open a window containing all the detailed scan operation reports (see
Figure 4-32).
If a virus is found, contact the facility System Administrator, the Security and/or Networking
Administrator, and GE Technical Support, then perform a Load From Cold.
An example of OAS discovering a test virus file can be seen in Figure 4-33 below:

Every time the system is rebooted, it will complete a self-scan to see if we are meeting the FIPS
140-2 requirements. If a violation is detected, the system will issue a security alert (blinking red icon
on the lower UI) and will disable the external wireless and wired network interfaces. These
interfaces can be manually re-enabled if needed or desired. However, if FIPS does a scan while the
system is booting and finds a violation on bootup, you will not be able to load the OS, and a load
from cold will be required to get the system back. This also means that you will not be able to create
a new backup of the system or protocols if this were to happen. You would need to use old backups,
if available.
Note that enabling FIPS mode may affect back-office connectivity.
For all the reasons listed above, do NOT enable this option until you speak with the site's security
administrators. Do not enable this option if the site does not explicitly say to turn it on.

4.6.7.1 Summary
DoD Mode is a configuration specifically for the United States Department of Defense. If you are
not a United States Department of Defense site, please ignore this configuration.
DoD Option allows Hardened mode to be enabled. Hardened mode applies additional security
configurations. These configurations impact remote service, specifically SSH. Root SSH login is not
permitted. Therefore, everything will need to be done as an xruser. SSH will idle after 15 minutes
of no activity, so users would have to re-login. Additionally, it will display the United States
Department of Defense warning banner on the screen, stating that you are about to enter a United
States Department of Defense system.
Once Hardened/STIGS is turned on, the only way to turn it off is to do a LFC on the system. Do not
turn this option on if the site is not a United States Department of Defense customer.

4.6.8.1 Introduction
The successor of Secure Socket Layer (SSL), DICOM Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a
cryptographic protocol that provides confidentiality and integrity between two data sources. Its
specific purpose for the system is to protect data in DICOM traffic. It relies on public-key
cryptography (PKI). The connection is private because the transmitted data is encrypted, and
machine identity can be authorized before transmission to ensure the recipient of the data is
authorized. The most current version of TLS on the system is TLS 1.2, but it also supports TLS 1.1
and TLS 1.0.
the corresponding public key. It can be imported via USB to the system; however, one must
know the passphrase to decrypt it.
Host Certificate
The Host Certificate is a digital file that contains the public key of the system. It is shareable
via USB export and generated on the system; however, only one of these is supported at a
time. If the system generates the private key, the system must also generate the host
certificate.
Trusted Certificates
Trusted Certificates can be certificates of other systems or a CA certificate. Many of these can
be loaded onto the system, but they must be loaded via USB. If the system does not have the
CA Certificate, one must have the PACS's certificate to make TLS work on the system.
Certificate Signing Request (CSR)
The CSR exports a file that allows the signing of a host certificate by the CA server.
Certificate management consists of two different customer environments: direct comparison which
is self-signed, and trusted signature chain comparison which is CA-signed.
In direct comparison, the customer does not have a CA. Each machine is given the public
certificates in advance for all the machines that are authorized to use this network. To authenticate
a partner, a machine compares the incoming connection information with the certificates on its list.
See Figure 4-36 below for a representation of this installation process.
In trusted signature chain comparison, a third party is involved - the Certificate Authority. The CA
signs these certificates for the machines, using its signature. Other systems in the network use
these signatures to assure that these certificates are for machines that are authorized to use the
network. See Figure 4-37 below for a representation of this installation process.

4.6.10.1 Introduction
Audit Trail and Node Authentication (ATNA) is used to establish security measures that can provide
user accountability, patient information confidentiality, and data integrity through the use of audit
trails, user authentication, and connection authentication.
For this application, Audit Trails will be used to provide user accountability. With this feature, one
can audit user's activities, detect instances of non-compliant behavior, determine compliance with
security policies, and assist with detecting improper creation, access, modification, and or deletion
of protected health information by collecting usage data. The data itself constitutes the audit trail
while the collection and review of data is called security auditing.
The local repository shows logged audit messages with a basic viewer, seen in Figure 4-61 below.
Audit messages are automatically logged to this local database. The system supplies a viewer to
view audit messages; however, it is archaic and minimal because it is designed for transfer.
Press COMMIT, then restart the system for the change to take effect.
2. Under the SUIF → Configuration → Audit Logs → Audit Message Settings tab, specify
the Audit Source ID. This is blank by default but should be used to name the system as the
customer wishes. Press SAVE once the name is entered and reboot the system for changes
to take effect. See Figure 4-63 below.
GE recommends taking a snapshot and calling service if a file integrity security alert is triggered.
The goal for GE Service is to identify if an alert is a false positive or if an actual intrusion or
tampering occurred. If a false positive, engineering would need to be informed so they can add an
exception for the files and provide instructions on how to clear the false-positive.
Correcting a truly corrupted file will require a Load From Cold of the system.

The EMI correction algorithms should remain disabled for the majority of customers. If artifacts
(sometimes called herring bones) are visible and occur in only particular locations within the facility,
it is possible it is EMI enduced. The source of the EMI emission is always external to the system.
Turn ON the EMI correction and have the customer use the system and evaluate the images. The
default setting will correct most situations. If problems persist, contact the OLC to escalate to
Engineering. Do not attempt to "fix it" by playing with the default values; there are over 100,000
possible combinations.
When EMI corrections are enabled, additional data is collected pre-exposure. This data is used to
detect EMI frequencies that may interfere with image quality. As a result, the customer may notice
that image acquisition times are slightly longer.
Lastly, when EMI is enabled, it will only have effect on new images after EMI is enabled. It is not
possible to apply EMI corrections to pre-existing images prior to EMI being enabled or imported
from other systems.
To configure EMI reduction settings, several parameters are available to GE service users on the
Calibration page of the SUIF. To adjust the parameters, follow these steps.
1. Turn on the system.
2. Log in to the system with user name geservice and current password.
3. Before starting the SUIF, connect the USB service key.
Parameter Definition
Signal Amplitude Minimum signal required at a given frequency to result in
subtraction of the suspected EMI signal. Range: 0.25 to 10
counts.
Minimum Correctable Minimum frequency, in hertz, at which the EMI reduction
Frequency algorithm searches for suspect signals. Range: 1 to 24 Hz.
Maximum Correctable Maximum frequency, in hertz, at which the EMI reduction
Frequency algorithm searches for suspect signals. Range: 1024 to 4096 Hz.
Maximum Allowable Any correction to the image will be smaller than or equal to this
Correction value. Range: 1 to 20 counts.
Maximum Number Of The EMI reduction algorithm is an iterative process. This
Iterations parameter can be set to end the iterative loop before the
amplitude threshold is reached. Range: 1 to 20 iterations.

When sharing a registered detector with another system:
Sharing is the ability to move registered, compatible detectors between systems. When sharing,
you are able to use a detector on multiple systems with no additional configuration required. The
act of sharing only requires pairing to be done between the detector and the system to ensure the
detector is ready to connect wirelessly to that system.
Pairing a detector can be done two ways:
• Tether:
Connect the detector you wish to pair to the system with the tether. The detector will
automatically pair to the system and can then be used for imaging.
• Bin:
Place the detector you wish to pair into the system bin. The detector will automatically pair to
the system and can then be used for imaging.
Note: Pairing the detector with another system will only be successful if the detector was previously
registered with that system.

FOLLOW PROCEDURES
Important! Perform the calibrations in the order shown in the left frame of the Calibration screen
on the Service User Interface (SUIF).
While working in the SUIF, watch the status bar and wait for activities to complete before starting
the next step. Look for messages like "Ready..." or "Ready for input."
EXPOSURE TO RADIATION
Employ X-ray safety practices to minimize exposure to radiation. Use portable shields or lead
aprons. Aim the tube away from personnel. Adjust both lateral and transverse collimator blades to
the minimum field size setting.
This procedure automatically sets the initial filament drive levels for each X-ray tube focal spot.
Note: It is recommended that you record the current values prior to making any changes.
Note: DO NOT change the exposure techniques for these calibrations. They are automatically set by the
calibration software and are required for proper calibration.
Note: If the Bad Pixel Calibration is started before the 10 minutes and fails, the system will need to be
restarted. Once reboot is completed a 10 minute wait period for detector stabilization will restart.
Be sure that the correct firmware is downloaded to the detector before proceeding.
Bad pixel calibration is a multi-step process, including a QC test exposure and four additional
exposures. The generator technique for each exposure is set automatically by the system.

5.6.1 Overview
Exposure Index (EI) is a feature to provide visual and quantitative information for detector exposure
in digital x-ray imaging. To standardize EI across different digital RAD systems from different
manufacturers, IEC published the Standard IEC 62494-1 in 2008. All GE Digital RAD systems
integrated with FlashPad HD have implemented EI features per the IEC Standard. In addition, a
specific Technical Mode is provided for users to verify dose reported by EI.
EI is proportional to the detector entrance exposure. Its value divided by 100 is comparable to
detector entrance dose measurement in the unit of µGy at calibration condition (RQA5, an x-ray
spectrum obtained with ~71kVp with additional 21mm Aluminum filter on GE systems).
EI is computed based on detector conversion factor (CF) and signal count measured on a raw
image after offset, gain, and bad pixel correction. The image region of interest (ROI) for
measurement is the central 10% of the detector imaging area per IEC standard. As an example, for
14"x17" or 35cm x 43cm detector, ~11.0cm x 13.5cm ROI at the center is used for EI computation.
To minimize the effect of image non-uniformity, the EI dose is ideally computed at the source to
imager distance (SID) where the detector gain calibration is performed. However, to avoid the effect
of non-uniformity of x-ray field on the measurement due to different sizes of dosimeter probes, it is
recommended to use a large size probe compatible to the area of EI analysis on detector or long
SID to improve the accuracy of dose reading relative to the EI from detector.
During the acquisition, backscatter from support surface could also affect result, especially for ion
chamber-based dosimeter. It is recommended to use solid state dosimeter or ion chamber probe
with foam or wood material (no metal table or lead sheet or lead apron behind) to support both
detector and dose probe. X-ray Field of View (FOV) is open to cover the whole detector imaging
area with additional margin to avoid artifact from collimator blade.
IEC Standard specifies uncertainty of inverse calibration function used in EI computation is less
than 20% which is also considered as a threshold for this verification. To minimize the uncertainty
error, the following test conditions are recommended:
• 71 kVp
• 20mm Aluminum Flat Field Phantom stacked with 1mm Aluminum plate in the collimator rails
(A 1mm Al plate is not required. See 5.6.2.3 Alternate Setup on page 340.)
• Grid removed.
• Both detector and probe should be supported by low attenuation foam or wood table during
the test, especially when ion chamber probe is used.
• FOV to cover whole detector imaging area with ~4cm beyond.
• Set SID to ~180cm and orientation same as those for detector calibration or QAP.
• Both detector and dosimeter probe will be exchangeable to be placed at the same position, the
center of FOV, and same support during the measurement.
Final error between reported EI and measured dose should be within +17%/-23%.
If dosimeter probe has min dose threshold > 0.5mR (5 Gy) and resolution > 0.05mR (or 0.5 Gy),
increase mAs in Steps 9 and 16 in 5.6.2.4 Procedure by 2x or 4x to minimize measurement error.
In this case, DI value could be +3 or +6 of original value based on proposed default mAs in Steps
9 and 16 in 5.6.2.4 Procedure. The specification for error between reported EI and measured dose
should be same.
5.6.2.4 Procedure
1. Login to system by using admin or GE Service.
2. In Worklist window, select the Tool icon → Preferences → DI → Edit on DI-Preferences to
open a Deviation Index Window.
Note: If the generator calibrations and detector calibrations are not completed, the user will not be able to
click on the "Edit" button.
7. Set the SID to 175-180 cm from tube focal spot to detector or dosimeter probe.
8. Create a new patient with Upper Extremity and Hand protocol.
9. Adjust the technique to 71kVp and 25mAs.
If only using a 20mm Al phantom (no 1mm Al phantom), technique should be 80kVp and
12.5mAs.
10. Set FOV large enough to cover whole detector image area with additional 4-5 cm margin.
11. Insert a 20mm Al + 1mm Al phantom in the collimator rails.
Note: The 1mm Al phantom is not required, a different technique and calculation will need to
be used. See Alternate Setup above.
12. Take an exposure and record EI value from image annotation:
EI Value = ______________ (in unit of Gy * 100)
13. Remove the detector from the x-ray field.
14. Remove the Al phantom(s), place a large size dosimeter probe on the same support surface,
and align it to the center of FOV with the same FOV and SID as the probe. See figure below.
15. Replace the 20mm Al phantom only (no 1mm Al phantom) back into the collimator rails.
16. Take another exposure in the same technique as Step 9 above, ignoring the acquired image
on the system.
17. Read the dose value from the dosimeter.
Dose Reading _________________ (Unit: µGy)
Note: if the unit of dose reading is mR, convert units to Gy:
_____________ (mR) * 8.76 (Gy/mR) = ____________ (Gy)
18. Perform the following calculation:
- If a 1mm Al phantom was used initially:
19. The system passes the test if the error is within +/-20%. See below if the test fails.
20. In Worklist window, select the Tool icon → Preferences → DI → Edit on DI-Preferences to
open a Deviation Index Window.
21. Disable Technical Mode by deselecting the box next to Technical Mode.
22. Close Deviation Index window and then the Preference-DI window.
• Is there any setup difference for exposures between detector and dose measurement? System
setup must be exactly same, including exposure technique, SID, FOV, filtration, and low
attenuation material to support detector and dosimeter probe especially if ion chamber-based
dosimeter is used.
• Is the sensing area of dosimeter probe large enough or SID not too short? The error will be
reduced if the size of the probe is close to 10% area of the detector or SID is not too short.
• Does the dosimeter probe have min dose threshold ≤ 0.5mR (or 5 Gy) and resolution ≤ 0.05mR
(or 0.5μGy)? If not, see Alternate Setup above.
• Perform detector gain calibration and then run this verification procedure again.
• Run this procedure with a different calibrated dosimeter.
5.8.3.2.2 Consumables
- None
5.8.3.2.3 Safety
- Appropriate ionizing radiation PPE
5.8.3.3 Purpose
The purpose of this calibration is to modify the correction factor stored in the DAP device. The DAP
response is dependent upon temperature and atmospheric pressure.
The DAP Calibration correction factor (CF) is stored in the DAP itself and not on the system. For
this reason adhere to the following;
- Do not press COMMIT if you are exploring, entering random numbers and making
exposures. This loads interim CF values into the DAP. Assume this value to be bad. By
pressing CANCEL the original DAP resident CF value will be restored.
- Do not return the system to clinical use if the system shuts down in the middle of this
calibration. The DAP will contain an interim CF value. Assume this value to be bad.
Restore the system to proper working order and perform this calibration procedure. Make
sure you press COMMIT to save the correct and valid CF value.
- A result of PASS is presented when the test meter and the DAP reported values have less
than a 10% error.
* At this point you can select COMMIT and the calibration is complete, or you can select
CONTINUE and repeat in the attempt to reduce the PASS Error percentage. Do not
expect to achieve a 0% error result. It is possible but not probable due to the variables
of the X-ray beam and measurement devices.
5.8.3.4 Procedure
Prior to launching the DAP Calibration utility in the SUIF service interface the following set-up
conditions must be followed.
Do not deviate from this instruction or randomly enter values into the DAP calibration utility. Failure
to follow this instruction can result in grossly inaccurate Dose Value reporting during clinical system
usage.
1. Place the dose meter at least 25 cm (10 in) above the floor to reduce scatter.
Note: For Black and Red Piranha there is not need to raise the dose meter off of the ground.
Note: The dose meter and the collimator need to be parallel to each other for accuracy.
2. Place the tube with relation to the dose meter as follows:
a. FOV = 10 cm x 10 cm (centered on imaging receptor)
b. SID = 100 cm
Note: It is recommended to place a piece of paper on top of the dose meter to allow for measuring of the
light field to ensure that it is setup correctly. See Figure 5-22 Measuring the Light Field.
Do not disturb the SID from this point on. Failure to follow this instruction can result in grossly
inaccurate Dose Value reporting during clinical system usage.
Notes:
- Only valid X and Y values entered in millimeters will be accepted.
- Configure your dose meter to measure in either milli-Roentgen (mR) or micro-Grays
(uGy).
- Select the appropriate unit of measure in the DAP calibration utility and enter the
measured value when prompted.
* A test meter dose reading of 150 to 500 mR is acceptable. However, it is dependent
upon the actual FOV, SID, KV, mAs.
The pixel data in every test image is identical. Only the DICOM headers, annotations, and window
center (WC) and window width (WW) values are slightly different for each pattern.
- If PACS test images #1, #3 and #6 appear visually identical (with an equal number of
bright and dark bands), the PACS supports 16-bit VOI-LUT. Configure the PACS as No-
Burn and 14-bit image push as NO for this host.
- If PACS Test Images #1 and #3 appear visually different (with a different number of bright
and dark bands), and Images #3 and #6 appear visually identical or if on image #1 you
can see saturation in the lung or abdomen of the chest region (saturation appears as a
completely flat dark or white area), the PACS does not support 16-bit VOI-LUT or applies
it incorrectly. Configure the PACS as No-Burn and 14-bit image push as YES for
this host.
- If PACS Test Images #3 and #6 appear visually different (with a different number of bright
and dark bands), or if you can see saturation in the lung or abdomen of the chest region
(saturation appears as a completely flat dark or white area), the PACS does not support
VOI-LUT or applies it incorrectly. Configure the PACS as Burn-on-Send for this host.
5. Repeat sections 5.9.2.3 Sending No-Burn Images to the PACS, 5.9.2.4 Sending Burn-On-
Send Images to the PACS and 5.9.2.6 Reviewing Images on PACS for each PACS destination
host.
6. Record the results in the table below.
In addition to the test results above, use Table 5-2 as a guideline to determine if a PACS should be
configured as Burn-on-Send. This table considers only whether a PACS supports VOI-LUT

6.1.1.3 Procedure
1. Remove the apron hanger bracket from the vertical column. See Figure 6-1.
Item Description
1 Apron hanger bracket
2. You now can see the top of the compressed spring assembly (see Figure 6-2). There is up to
1.5 inches of adjustment before the tool insertion becomes un-usable.
Note: The column comes pre-adjusted such that the fine adjustment range falls within the physical
adjustment opening in the column (see Figure 6-2, Item 2). Do not attempt to adjust the spring
tension if the tool does not engage in the adjustment holes easily.
Item Description
1 Counterbalance adjustment holes
2 Physical adjustment opening in the column
3. Raise the tube arm to approximately 2.5 cm (1 in) from the top of the column. This reduces
spring tension, allowing easier adjustment.
4. Using a 4 mm hex key inserted into the adjustment holes (see Figure 6-2), you can adjust the
spring tension for up to 5 lbs of balance force.
5. Rotating the assembly clockwise reduces the tension on the spring resulting in less buoyancy
of the arm.
6. Rotating the assembly counter-clockwise increases the tension on the spring resulting in more
buoyancy of the arm.
7. Adjust the spring tension such that 80% of the main travel is stable. 10% at the lowest tube
position and 10% of the highest tube position should have minimal to no movement when the
brakes are engaged.
8. Apply thread locker (i.e. Loctite 242) to the apron hanger bracket screws. Install the bracket
and tighten the screws.

2. Adjust the screw tension of the tube latch pin assembly on the horizontal arm (see Figure 6-4)
such that it is snug but can be moved forward/backward with slight effort.
3. Make sure the arm is fully retracted/compressed.
Item Description
1 Tube latch pin assembly
4. Lower the horizontal arm so that it engages with the Thorax tube latch assembly. Manually
slide the tube latch pin assembly to facilitate the engagement.
5. Manually release the Thorax side of the tube latch such that the horizontal arm side of the pin
assembly is not disturbed.
6. Carefully torque fasteners of the tube latch pin assembly to 8.1 N-m (71.7 lb-in) - no thread
locker is used. See Figure 6-4.
7. Raise and lower the horizontal arm such that the arm latching feature can be engaged and
disengaged several times to ensure smooth and reliable functionality.

6.1.3.3 Procedure
1. Ensure the tube latch to arm pin adjustment procedure has been completed (see 6.1.2 Tube
Latch to Arm Pin Adjustment Procedure on page 358).
2. Disengage the tube latch and raised the tube slightly above the tube latch.
3. Using the collimator left/right lock switch buttons, rotate the column such that you feel the
column rotation detent setting.
4. Release the collimator lock switches when the column rotational lock detent is felt.
5. Lower the tube to engage the tube latch assembly.
If the alignment is not correct, proceed with the following steps.
IItem Description
1 Column detent eccentric adjustment
3. Locate the column detent lock nut (Figure 6-6, Item 1) at the bottom of the column (under-side
of the chassis). While holding the eccentric adjustment from the top, loosen the detent lock nut
with a 3/4" wrench or socket.
IItem Description
1 Column detent lock nut
4. The detent is adjusted through the use of an eccentric, using a 6 mm Allen wrench. Rotate the
eccentric to adjust the left-to-right positioning of the tube latch pin (located on bottom of the
horizontal arm) such that it squarely aligns with the tube latch assembly (located on top of the
Thorax). See Figure 6-7.
IItem Description
1 Tube latch assembly
2 Tube latch pin
5. While holding the eccentric adjustment in position to prevent movement, torque the 3/4"
column detent lock nut to 18 N-m (159.3 lb-in).
6. Using the collimator left/right lock switches to disengage the locks, rotate the column left and
right such that it stops in the detent and then verify the tube latch mechanism engages
smoothly and reliably from both clockwise and counterclockwise rotational directions. Re-
adjust as necessary.
7. Install the front and side covers.
4. Place the light meter on a horizontal surface 100 cm (39.37 in) from the X-ray tube focal spot.
Direct the sensor toward the collimator light source.
5. Turn on the collimator lamp.
Note: Important! To ensure that the lamp reaches full brightness, wait while the lamp illuminates and then
automatically shuts off after 30 seconds. Then turn on the lamp again and proceed to the next step.
6. Use the dials on the front of the collimator to adjust the field size to 10 x 10 inches.
7. Turn off the collimator lamp.
8. Turn off the room lights and use the light meter to measure the ambient light level. Record the

12. Calculate the average illumination by summing the light levels of the 4 quadrants and dividing
by 4, then subtracting the ambient light level. Record the average illumination here:
Average illumination: ______________
13. Verify that the average illumination is greater than the ambient brightness by the specification
listed in Table 7-1.
Note: If this test fails, then the Light to X-ray Field Alignment Test on page 368 will fail.
1. Place the X-ray receptor on a flat, horizontal surface such as a table or floor 40 inches from
the source.
2. Place the light to X-ray field test pattern on the receptor and center it squarely.

specification in Table 7-4 on page 369.
6. Make an exposure and measure the kVp value. Record the values in Table 7-6.
7. Verify that the kVp accuracy passes the regulatory limits for each test exposure.
7.1.4.3.1 Overview
mAs accuracy is measured using a non-invasive kVp meter and oscilloscope connected to the mA
test point of the generator. Considering a threshold of 75% of the requested kV, the mAs is the
integral of the mA during the exposure time:
The exposure time (pulse width) is the time between when the kV waveform rises above the
threshold and when the kV falls back below the threshold.
For short exposure times (< 15 mSec), it is necessary to accurately measure and calculate the mAs
by integrating the mA and time in defined intervals. (Three are used for this example.)
The integrated values are the sum of the weighted means of the measured time intervals for
the full exposure time.
Mt1+ Mt2 + Mt3 = MT
Where
M = mean of the measured mA
t1, t2, t3 = time interval of the measured mean of mA (Mt1, Mt2, Mt3)
T = total exposure time @ 75% of kVp rise and fall value.
MT * T = mAs
This is simplified by the use of an oscilloscope that supports signal integration. The TDS 3000 family
of scopes provides this function using vertical cursors and gating cursors selections. So a single
measurement can be made for the full exposure defined as T above with a highly accurate result.
For exposures > 15 mSec the waveform stabilizes and the effects of Mt1 and Mt2 become
negligible.
Using the cursor gating function find the mean of the entire waveform.
Note: Because of the nature of the design of the high frequency generator, the use of a kV meter to
determine kVp rise time is not necessary. The rise/fall of the kVp waveform has negligible impact
upon the mAs measurement.
7.1.4.3.2 Procedure
1. Connect a CH 1 scope probe to TP5 (signal scale is 100mA = 1V) of the generator and chassis
ground. See Figure 7-4.
Note: TP4 is the mA Anode Negative signal and can be used in place of TP5.

7. Verify that mAs accuracy passes the regulatory limits for each test exposure.
Table 7-9 kV and mAs Values for Reproducibility Tests - 30kW Generator
6. Measure the exposure in uGy for each of the 10 exposures. Each sample of 10 exposures
must be completed within 1 hour of start.
After each exposure, recycle the technique (switch to other values and then return them to the
original values). Also vary the time between exposures to capture any filament heating
variations.
8. Repeat this process of 10 exposures with Sample B, using the correct techniques as given in
Table 7-9.
9. Verify that the reproducibility (Coefficient of Variation) for samples A and B is < 0.045 as
calculated.
Calculation:
[CV] = the Coefficient of Variation = [Std Dev] / [Average Mean]
[Std Dev] = the standard deviation of 10 samples [Sample A - exposures 1 through
10]
[Average Mean] = the average of 10 samples [Sample A - exposures 1 through 10]
Sample A: ______________
Sample B: ______________
10. Verify that the linerarity for samples A and B is < 0.10 for HHS. (This is a pass or fail solution.)
Calculation:
ABS[(avgmA/Selected mAs) - (avgmB/Selected mAs) <= (0.1((avgmA/Selected mAs) +
(avgmB/Selected mAs))]
[avgmX] = the average of 10 samples [Sample X = exposures 1 through 10]

Before you start the test, ensure the system is in OFF position and the system input power plug is
connected to test socket on the side of Fluke ESA612 meter.
It is recommended to use a Fluke ESA612 to set up the test conditions. The nominal AC Mains
should be 120VAC or 220VAC to match the standard system plug. Refer to 7.2.3 Test Point
Locations on page 395 for earth resistance test points of the system 120VAC or 220VAC AC Mains
(site-specific input source).
Note: It is important to ‘Zero/Null’ leads to eliminate resistance in test leads as described below.
1. Make sure the power cord from the system is connected into outlet of the Fluke ESA612.
2. From the setup menu, press F4 button for More to show additional menu selections.
To avoid electric shock, remove the null post adapter from the Null jack after a test lead zero is
performed. The Null jack becomes potentially hazardous during some of the other test conditions.
11. Push ZERO LEADS button until the display shows 0.000Ω
12. Now connect one end of the test lead between the V/Ω/A jack of the test meter and other end
to an exposed conductive surface of the system ensuring that the input power plug of the
system remains in the test socket on the side on the Fluke ESA612. Refer to Table 7-12 for
the list of conductive surfaces (accessible dead metal parts) of the system.
Note: When a current of 200mA from the current source with a no-load voltage not exceeding 24V at a
frequency of 50/60Hz is applied between conductor terminals for 5 to 10 seconds, the voltage drops
between the terminals. The resistance determined using the current and voltage drop should not be
greater than 0.2 Ohm (200 mΩ).
The resistance value will be displayed on the Fluke. Record the test results in Table 7-13.
13. Using steps 10 to 12 above, take measurements for each test point identified in Table 7-12.
Record test results in Table 7-13 as appropriate. Refer to 7.2.3 Test Point Locations on
page 395 for locations of test points.
Note: Fluke recommends the Null test be performed before testing each test point.
The resistance, when measured, should NOT be greater than 0.3 Ohm (300 Ohm).
Note: If the measured value exceeds the expected value then refer to 7.2.4 AC Power Plug
Troubleshooting on page 397 for power plug troubleshooting procedure to fix the grounding issues.
Obtain a Hioki 3157 grounding tester or equivalent. For sites in Europe, use the cables that are
provided with the Hioki tester. For sites outside of Europe, obtain the following:
• Two green/yellow ground stranded wire cables:
- Cable A = 2.5 mm² (12 AWG), 3 m (9.8 ft)

• Two lugs to fit 0.64 cm (0.25 in) terminals to the meter end of each cable (Figure 7-6).
• Two clamps to fit onto the other end of the cables (Figure 7-6).
If it does not, perform the following steps to change the parameters as needed (the system will
save the settings even after system power is turned off). See Figure 7-9.
A. While in the ready state, press the or button until the output current display
begins flashing.
B. Press the or button to change the output current. The value changes in
0.1-A increments. To change the value by 1.0-A increments, press + or
button.
C. Press the button again to move to each of the other settings (Maximum Test
Value, Timer, and Frequency).
D. Use the or + buttons as needed to adjust the values.
E. Press .
3. While in the ready state, press the + buttons to display the Optional function
setting screen.
The Output Current Frequency is the first digit displayed, where the value is 0 for 50 Hz or 1
for 60 Hz. The Pass/Fail hold function is represented by the second digit.
The orange test indicator is displayed, the 0ADJ indicator begins flashing below the resistance
value, and the zero adjustment begins. During the zero adjustment, a preset current is output
through the shorted leads. When zero adjustment is complete (about three seconds), the unit
enters the ready state, and the 0ADJ lamp lights.
If the test cables are too resistive, the offset cannot be set. Use less-resistive cables and try to
set the offset again. The zero adjustment function is automatically disabled if the output current
value is changed or if data settings are changed.
Zero adjustment is possible within a range equivalent to a resistance between 0.000 Ohms and
0.100 Ohms on the resistor indicator. If the measured value falls outside this range, the
resistance value flashes, and the unit enters the ready state.
6. Move cable B to the next measurement (Table 7-15), then repeat steps 4 and 5.
The voltage must not exceed 2.5 V (0.1 ohms).

TEST DESCRIPTION
It is recommended to use Fluke ESA612 or equivalent meter to establish the test conditions. The
nominal AC Mains should be 120VAC or 220VAC, to match the standard system plug.
Note: Before you start the test, ensure the Equipment input power plug is connected to test socket on the
side of Fluke ESA612 meter and the system is in ON condition. If ground testing is required for this
system, verify that all ground testing results passed are ≤0.3 Ohms before conducting leakage
testing. Leakage testing must be performed if the AC power plug has been replaced or disturbed.
The leakage current must not exceed 300 uA.
The Equipment Leakage Current test must be conducted under both Normal Condition and Single
Fault Condition. The test procedures for both the conditions are described below.

7.3.3 Purpose
The purpose of this section is to provide guidance and definition for those that wish to perform a
radiation leakage test of the X-ray tube/collimator assembly (also known as "source assembly").
Per the technical data sheet, the Leakage Technique Factor is 150 kV, 0.4 mA.
This is used by Canon/Toshiba for their bench testing.
The technique for this mobile system is 125 kV, 250 mAs.
The details as to why and how are explicitly defined at the end of this section.
This rating is applicable at the Long-Term Maximum Input Power rating. Multiply the measured
leakage of each 125 kV, 250 mAs exposure (in mGy) by 6.9 to determine the leakage radiation of
each exposure at this power level.
Repeat measurements as needed, one exposure at different locations, each at 1 meter from the
focal spot. See Figure 7-20 and Figure 7-21. It is also recommended that 520 seconds between
exposures is observed for tube thermal considerations. These readings are not cumulative.

Figure 7-20 illustrates the positioning of the test tool (ionization chamber) in 2 dimensions only.
Ensure the ionization chamber is perpendicular to the source in each dimension for accurate
readings. The testing parameters per 21CFR 1020.30 define that this test should be performed in
“1 meter in any direction from the source” (3 dimensionally). Also stated is the following;
“Compliance shall be determined by measurements averaged over an area of 100 square cm with
no linear dimension greater than 20 cm.” This statement defines the maximum size of the Ionization
Chamber that should be used.
Figure 7-21 illustrates the approximate position of the Canon/Toshiba Rotanode™ E7894X X-ray
Tube assembly utilized with these defined products.
Note: When making these measurements, it is common to see the highest readings relative to the anode
side of the tube.

Background:
The Optima XR240amx product is a battery operated system and not capacitive discharge or field
emission systems. Therefore, per regulatory requirements (21CFR 1020.30 being the most
stringent), we fall under the “For all other diagnostic source assemblies” category.
Per 21CFR, the leakage radiation from the diagnostic source assembly shall not exceed 0.88 mGy
air kerma in 1 hour. In our system, we are not capable of performing continuous exposures for this
time frame. Therefore, an integrated leakage reading would be desired. However, the system
design is such that independent mA and time control is not possible. It is a two point system
interface design. Additionally, most exposures are sub-second in length approaching the test
meters capabilities.
For testing purposes, a radiographic exposure is used and the leakage measured for that exposure.
The technique used for measurement is a rad exposure of 125 kVp, 250 mAs.
The actual values for the 30 kW systems are 125 kVp at ~77.01 mA and ~ 3.246 seconds.
The actual values for the 15 kW systems are 125 kVp at ~64.39 mA and ~3.883 seconds.
Using these actual values the duty cycle (IV/hr) becomes 6.9 exposures per hour.
The exact mA and time used to get 250 mAs on a 30 kW versus the 15 kW systems may be
different, but the mAs ratio relative to continuous 0.48 mA at 125 kVp calculate to be the same.

The detector and bin are indexed with a groove on the right-hand side (charge indicator side) which
allows the detector to fit and charge in only one direction. If detectors are forced into the bin slots
in the wrong direction, damage may occur. The 14 × 17 detector takes approximately 2.5 hours to
recharge from 0% to 100%, the 10 × 12 detector takes approximately 2.25 hours to recharge from
0% to 100%. Both the charge rate and capacity of the detector batteries are different; therefore, it
is important to ensure the detectors are inserted into the proper charging slot and that the charging
cables are properly connected to the bin charging board.
There are two shock absorbers in each bin slot, for a total of four. The shock absorbers aid in
alignment to the floating docking connector and dampen the insertion into the bin to prevent
accidental damage (see Figure 8-3).
Indicator Description
Error Codes
(A detector with battery must be properly inserted in slot.)
The bin charging board also contains 4 LED indicators which display status of charge (1 LED for
each docking connector), 5VDC status, and heart-beat (Figure 8-8). The LED indicators can be
used to aid in troubleshooting. Refer to Section 10.4 Detector Bin Troubleshooting on page 559.
The voltage path and statuses can also be measured from several locations on the BCB
(Figure 8-9). The test point locations (labeled as TPX) can also be used to aid in troubleshooting.
Refer to Section 10.4 Detector Bin Troubleshooting on page 559.
Note: Voltages are measured with reference to the grounded mounting corners.
detector batteries when inserted properly into the charging bin due to the difference in battery size
and capacity between the two detector batteries. This can be measured with an oscilloscope on the
bin charging board from TP7-GND and TP8-GND. For troubleshooting detector charge control
issues, check that voltage is present with a voltmeter before checking presence of the pulse width
modulation with an oscilloscope.
8.2.1.1 Overview
For the Dragonfly release, two different sizes of PKI detectors will be supported - 14"x17" and
10"x12". Overall functionality for these two detectors will be the same.
The PKI detectors will perform environmental monitoring tasks internally and communicate with the
Dragonfly system.
The detector does provide the user a visual indicator of the remaining detector battery capacity as
well as if a thermal limit has been exceeded or a shock event has occurred. These indicators should
be used as a means for visual observation of the detector monitoring components. The user should
review the system error logs for additional information as it relates to detector battery capacity,
detector surface temperature, and detector shock events.
See Figure 8-12. The Detector Surface Temperature Flowchart depicts the detector surface
temperature data handling between the detector and the system. The detector has five internal
temperature sensors. These sensor values are used in a regression equation by the PKI detector
to solve for the surface temperature. This surface temperature is subsequently read by the system
at a frequency of 2 seconds. If the received value exceeds the threshold values (Talert or Twarning),
the system logs the event and the event will remain active until the temperature drops back below
the threshold value. The detector software will then communicate the specific event to the user
through the IUI handling. These events will be logged within the detector specific temperature log
file on the system as well as the system error log.
Detector surface temperature will also be requested by the detector at the time of acquisition prep
within an exam. This value, in degrees of Celsius, will be reported within the image DICOM header.
If communication between the system and the detector is lost, the detector will report temperature
alerts or warnings upon reestablishing communication if the detector surface temperature exceeds
a threshold value. If communication cannot be re-established to the system, the detector will power
off after Tshutdown_time. Primary detectors that have lost communication to the system will also inhibit
a scan.
• If the detector surface temperature sensor value output is below Talert, no action is taken by
the detector or the system.
• If the detector surface temperature sensor value output is above Talert, but below Twarning, the
detector will report a temperature alert event to the system.
- This event will be logged on the system error log and detector-specific temperature log,
and the system operator will be alerted through a user notification that the detector
surface temperature is high and to use caution during use.
• If the detector surface temperature sensor value output is at or greater than Twarning, the
detector should report a temperature warning event to the system.
- This event will be logged on the system error log and detector-specific temperature log,
the system operator will receive a user notification stating the detector surface
temperature is at a specified safety limit, and the detector will be shut down.
- The act of shutting down the detector will cause it to lose communication with the system,
thereby causing a scan-inhibit by the loss of communication.
- If an acquisition is in progress, the system should confirm the acquisition is complete,
confirm the image has been received by the system, and send a detector shutdown
command which will inhibit any further acquisitions.
- Once the detector has received the shutdown command, the system should clear the
detector-temperature error message for the user.
- If the detector has lost communication with the system and its temperature exceeds
Twarning, the detector will wait a configurable time period, Tshutdown_time, before turning off.

The detector will send the system a message once a shock event is detected and return a
notification to the user. These warning messages are defined as following:
• Level 3 (critical): Indicating a critical shock event has been detected. The system will inhibit the
use of the detector until successful QAP has been performed. The event is logged into the
detector event log, a warning message is displayed, and acquisition is inhibited.
- After successful competition of a QAP, the system will clear the critical event from the
detector event buffer and allow the detector to be used again.

Registration and Pairing have been previously completed, and the SSID/PSK stored in the detector

The same behavior will occur with the bin, as the docking connection (wired Ethernet) has priority.
Once that connection is terminated (by removing the detector from the bin), the wireless connection
will be established between the detector and the system AP.

REVISION 11 GE RESTRICTED DIRECTION 5761784-1EN
Figure 8-15 Overview of how the Ethernet and 802.11n architectures interface with the
digital detectors
The Aruba AP 215 establishes 802.11n wireless communication on the 5GHz frequency band
between the system and digital detector. The AP will be used in three different models with specific
firmware based on geographical location: US, Japan, and Rest of World (RoW). The US and Japan
models have a fixed country code while the RoW model has a selectable country code. This
configuration sets the regulatory domain for the radio frequencies the AP uses.
The system is required to support multiple 802.11 based digital detectors. The system architecture
uses an AP with integrated antennas to allow 5GHz frequency band 802.11n communication with
the detectors. The AP is required to boot with the system-configured settings and create a wireless
local network. Detectors that are properly configured and registered with the network will be able to
connect to the WLAN in order take and transfer X-ray exposures to the system.
8.3.2 Configuration
GE default settings are written to the AP when running initial configuration. The default username
and password pre-shared key (PSK) will remain unchanged. The Access Point does not need to be
configured at any point unless the following scenarios occur:
• Installation: Commit the country of installation to establish detector wireless communication to
the AP.
• AP FRU Replacement: Commit the country of installation to establish detector wireless
communication to the AP. All previously registered detectors must be re-paired for PSK to be
recognized. Refer to 11.5.14 Detector Access Point (AP) on page 744 for the AP FRU
Replacement procedure. Refer to 10.5.11 Detector Registration and Management on
page 591 for Detector Registration procedure.
If the AP configuration is not cleared prior to the following scenarios, the system will have no method
of PSK recovery, thus requiring a physical reset of the AP.
• System PC FRU Replacement when engineering terminal access is allowed: Clear the AP
configuration prior to replacement by running the following commands:
Gen 1 only:
Type: cd /magichome/xruser/bin ENTER
Type: sudo ./interfaceToAccessPoint factoryReset ENTER
OR
Login as root:
Type: su root ENTER
Type: [current password] ENTER
Type: cd /magichome/xruser/bin ENTER
Type: ./interfaceToAccessPoint factoryReset ENTER
Gen 2 only:
Type: su root ENTER
Type: [current password] ENTER
Type: cd /magichome/xruser/bin ENTER
Type: ./serviceAccessPoint.sh factoryReset ENTER
Refer to 11.5.12 System PC on page 738 for the PC FRU replacement procedure.
• System PC FRU Replacement when engineering terminal access is NOT allowed: Clear the
AP configuration prior to replacement by executing a physical reset of the AP. Refer to
11.5.12 System PC on page 738 for the PC FRU replacement procedure.
• System Software Load from Cold (LFC): Clear the AP configuration prior to replacement by
running the following commands:
Gen 1 only:
Type: cd /magichome/xruser/bin ENTER
Type: sudo ./interfaceToAccessPoint factoryReset ENTER
OR
Login as root:
Type: su root ENTER
Type: [current password] ENTER
Type: cd /magichome/xruser/bin ENTER
Type: ./interfaceToAccessPoint factoryReset ENTER
Gen 2 only:
Type: su root ENTER
Type: [current password] ENTER
Type: cd /magichome/xruser/bin ENTER
Type: ./serviceAccessPoint.sh factoryReset ENTER
Note: If the software is corrupt or non-functional, a physical reset must be performed prior to
completing LFC. Refer to Section 3.2 Performing Load From Cold (LFC) on page 62.

GE HEALTHCARE OPTIMA XR240AMX EXCLUSIVE SYSTEM MANUAL
REVISION 11 GE RESTRICTED DIRECTION 5761784-1EN
system is established once the detector IP address is assigned by the DHCP server and
authentication passes. The system will have the DHCP server configured for eth2 (AP) with a single
address: This will help with initial system configuration, since by default the AP is configured as a
DHCP client. The DHCP pool on the AP is configured to use a different subnet. This frees the
system from client management.
A country is considered to support wireless exposure if its country code is selectable in both the AP
and detector and has at least one channel intersected in the list of supported channels (AP and all
registered detectors). If the system country code is changed, all detectors will be unregistered and
the list of detector allowed channels will be cleared.
8.3.10 Boot
Upon boot, the system will ensure the AP is connected by a background ping during the boot thread.
The system will ping with GE default credentials - if that fails, the system will then ping with admin
(factory reset) credentials. If the ping fails with both GE default and factory reset credentials, the
system considers this an 'AP Down' failure. This is important when executing an AP replacement,
hard, or soft reset. If the AP can login with factory reset credentials, the system considers this an
'Initial Configuration Failed' error where the country code must be recommitted in the SUIF.

GE HEALTHCARE OPTIMA XR240AMX EXCLUSIVE SYSTEM MANUAL
REVISION 11 GE RESTRICTED DIRECTION 5761784-1EN
8.4.2 Configuration
Facility networking information is gathered at pre-installation. Information includes authentication,
SSID(s), MAC address, and infrastructure (firewall/proxy/PNF) and is entered to the system
configuration at installation. If at any time the configuration changes, any proprietary class user (A/
C/M) can access the configuration at SUIF>CONFIGURATION>WIRELESS HOSPITAL
NETWORK (Figure 8-17).
ADDRESSING
Any IP address consists of four 'octets' (XXX.XXX.X.XXX) which are designated by binary
numbering. The minimum value for any octet is 0 (for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th octet). Every IP and subnet
mask has 2 portions, a network and a host portion. For the IP address, the first three octets
represent the network portion and the last octet represents the host portion. All devices connected
to a network will have the same network portion but unique host portions. All devices on the same
network must have the same subnet mask.
The first octet of the IP address is used to identify the class (a-e) however, only a, b, and c are used.
Subnet masks also have class a, b, and c. If the class of the IP address and class of the subnet
mask match, then it is referred to as a 'Classful' network. Private IP addresses exist for class a, b,
and c but are generally used for internal communication. A default gateway is the device
responsible for moving data off the local area network. The default gateway has an IP address
structured like any other device on the network. The default gateway will be the same for all devices
on the network.
The facility network to which the system is connected should assign the Optima XR240amx system
an IP address (if using DHCP) given that the MAC address is known. The MAC address can be
found on the system PC and is also gathered during system pre-installation phase. if using static
IP, the address must be obtained from the site’s IT department.
The system supports communication to the hospital network through both static and DHCP. This
can be configured through SUIF>CONFIGURATION>NETWORKING (Figure 8-18).
AUTHENTICATION
Open or shared key authentication must occur before the device attempts to communicate to the
network through the facility wireless access point.
ENCRYPTION
Data transfer security.
PROXY
A proxy is an intermediate device which bridges connection between devices or users. Proxies can
help control access and security of devices on the facility network. If the facility network
infrastructure contains a proxy, the server IP address and port number must be known and
configured within the Optima XR240amx. If facility utilizes a proxy and it is not configured within the
system, InSite connectivity and remote access may not be allowed.
ROAMING
Roaming occurs when the system is between access points and must decide how to maintain
connectivity. There are several configurable fields within the Roaming tab of the wireless
configuration window (Figure 8-19), however these should not be adjusted unless necessary.
The Min. dB to attempt to connect field is used to establish the minimum connection threshold. If
the best signal strength the system hears from neighboring access points (APs) is not above this
threshold the system will not attempt to connect. The default value is -75 dB and users should not
have to adjust this value.
The Min. dB to remain connected field is used to establish the threshold at which the system will
automatically disconnect from an AP and search for a better connection (if a roam has not already
taken place). The default value is -80 dB and users should not have to adjust this value.
The Min. dB difference to roam to new AP field is used to establish the roaming threshold. After
scanning its environment, if the system sees another access point (AP) that matches the network
the system is assigned to that is at least X dB better (where X is the Min. dB difference to roam to
a new AP value) then the system will attempt to roam to the new AP. For example, if the value is
set to 7 dB, the current RSSI is -70 dB, and the best AP signal that matches the current profile is -
63 dB, the system will attempt to roam to the new AP. The default value is 7 dB. Environments with
dense AP deployments (APs are not spaced very far apart) or sharp geometry may find they need
to decrease this value to improve roaming performance.
The Background Scan Parameters are controlled by the final three sliders on the page and
determine how often the client is performing background scans to evaluate the RF environment.
One of the primary jobs of the wireless software is to constantly monitor the RF environment it is in
to determine whether it is connected to the proper AP or whether it is time to roam to a new one.
The way the Optima XR240amx does this is by doing a background scan. These sliders help
determine how often that background scan is performed. The Fast scan when signal is below
(dB) determines when the Fast Scan Rate (sec) is used and when the Slow Scan Rate (sec) is
used. If the signal strength of the current connection falls below this threshold, the fast scan rate
will be used. If the signal strength of the current connection is above this threshold, the slow scan
rate is used. In dense installations of APs (APs are not spaced very far apart) it may be necessary
to decrease the fast scan rate to 4 seconds and the slow scan rate to 10 seconds so that the client
can pick up the new APs quickly as they become available.
ANTENNAS
Optima XR240 has two WiFi antennas located on either side of the PC as shown in Figure 8-20.
The dual antennas help provide better spatial coverage to establish and maintain connection to the
facility wireless network.
If a Proxy Server is not required there is no configuration that is needed in the InSite configuration
window and should be left to default as shown in Figure 8-22 below.
Proxy Required: A proxy server in most cases will be present in the hospital network. This
information is part of the Pre-Install Checklist (5748354-1EN) and should be filled out prior to
installation. The Hospital Network Administrator can provide this information as well. If Proxy is
required, the following fields will need to be filled out:
• Proxy Server Address: A server address is needed only if there is a proxy server. This IP
address will be supplied by the Hospital Network Administrator.
• Proxy Server Port: A server port is needed only if there is a proxy server. This port number
will be supplied by the Hospital Network Administrator.
• Authorization Required: Some proxy servers will require a level of authorization. If
authorization is required, this information was filled out as part of the Pre-Install Checklist
(5748354-1EN). If you cannot locate the checklist you will need to contact the Hospital Network
Administrator for this information. If 'Yes' is selected for this function, the following fields will
need to be filled out:

System Controllers
Spyder Board
This board is a general controller receiving feedback and issuing commands. When a fault
condition is sensed by the Spyder board or messages are received from the Generator the
following commands become active;
Locust Board
This board is responsible for drive and switches.
DSP handles Current sensing, temps, Spyder CAN Interface
CPLD handles peripheral circuits (Switches and interlocks, fuse status, Drive handle)
If a fault is sensed then the following signaling becomes active;
DSP_TRIP_CMD_N
CPLD_TRIP_CMD_N
DSP and CPLD Trip commands are a logic AND to produce TRIP_CMD_N
TRIP_CMD_24V_N J2 Pin 15 to Spyder board Real Time line
Firefly Board
This board is responsible primarily for the system charging circuitry. If a fault is sensed then the
following signaling becomes active;
If the Spyder or Locust pulled the Real Time line then the following signaling becomes active;
Note: BREAKER_TRIPPED is connected to the “NO” (Normally Open) terminal of the breaker.
See Figure 8-49.
This “NO” state is when the breaker is off or has tripped.
Breaker tripped = Position 6 & 7 open (24 vdc present at Firefly J10 Pin1=HIGH)
Breaker not tripped = Position 6 & 7 closed (ground from Firefly J10 Pin3 applied = no 24 vdc
sensed by the Firefly)

Conditional Events
Physical
There is a short circuit somewhere in the system. This can be sensed directly by the circuit breaker
or by one of the controllers.
System decisions
For the following the system will attempt to create an error log entry for the trip cause.
1. Current into the batteries is too high.
(Error Codes: 8301051 may be present)
a. A faulty Mantis Supply.
i. Run “Power Control Comm” and “Power Supply Thermal” diagnostics.
b. Unknown batteries added to the system.
i. Examine battery pack cover for evidence of tampering.
2. Pack X voltage is too high (greater than 50 volts).
(Error Codes: 8301071, 8301072, 8301073, 8301074, and/or 8301049 may be present)
Note: Pack 4 voltage may exceed 50V under certain conditions when charge cut-off (hold-off)
is active.
a. A charging circuit fault.
i. Possible corrupted firmware of Firefly.

degradation resulting from usage and charging, also tops off the energy capacity of each
battery/cell. The system moves to the next charge phase when: a) the net current into the
batteries falls below 1.5A + 45 min, or b) the expiration of a 4 hour time limit.
5. Trickle / balance phase - Voltage is maintained around 162 VDC for 30 min. Allows the
individual cells in each battery to normalize or balance relative to their neighbor. Also, upon
completing, the Firefly synchronizes the battery display with the actual state of charge.
6. Battery Rest (Charge Cut-Off) - Charging voltage is held at 164Vdc for the remainder of time
the system is plugged in. The charger stays on and supplies only the current necessary to keep
the batteries fully charged and to power the rest of the system. During discharge (idle) the
power control limits diagnostic for Pack 4 voltage will be approximately 0.5V lower than actual
pack 4 voltage due to the additional diode voltage drop. During charge the power control limits
diagnostic for pack 4 voltage will be approximately 0.7V higher than actual pack 4 voltage due
to the additional diode voltage drop. Note that during portions of real charge it is normal for
there to be wide variations in pack to pack voltage. During hold-off or cut-off charge, power
control limits diagnostic for pack 4 voltage may be 10V (or more) higher than actual pack 4
voltage due to the following relationship: [Pack4 Voltage = Mantis Voltage – Pack 3 Voltage –
Pack 2 Voltage – Pack1 Voltage].
Note: Actual voltages may be lower than indicated due to thermal compensation which will
occur if any battery pack's temperature exceeds 35C.
8.8.4.2 Diagnostics
During discharge (idle) the Power Control Limits diagnostic for Pack 4 voltage will be approximately
0.5V lower than actual pack 4 voltage due to the additional diode voltage drop. During charge the
power control limits diagnostic for pack 4 voltage will be approximately 0.7V higher than actual pack
4 voltage due to the additional diode voltage drop. Note that during portions of real charge it is
normal for there to be wide variations in pack to pack voltage. During hold-off or cut-off charge,
power control limits diagnostic for pack 4 voltage may be 10V (or more) higher than actual pack 4
voltage due to the following relationship: [Pack4 Voltage = Mantis Voltage - Pack 3 Voltage - Pack
2 Voltage - Pack1 Voltage]. The error code, 8301091 - General Charge Error, is present when the
firmware does not detect the cut-off circuit or it is not functioning properly. In this event, charging
will continue at a maintenance voltage level so batteries do not discharge.
Battery data is collected in the sysPRM.log located at: /magichome/xruser/log. The following
parameters are logged at each exposure:
- IV - Generator Input Voltage
- LPIV - Lowest Peak Input Voltage (voltage at time of exposure)
- skVp - Selected kVp (to generator)
- smAs - Selected mAs (to generator)
- AkVp - Actual kVp (from generator)
- AmAs - Actual mAs (from generator)
- AmA - Actual mA
The following parameters are logged every one (1) minute:
- V1 - Pack 1 voltage in mV
- V2 - Pack 2 voltage in mV
- V3 - Pack 3 voltage in mV
- V4 - Pack 4 voltage in mV
- VS - Battery Set Voltage in mV
- BATT C - Battery Current in mA
- LVLE C - LVLE Current in mA
- T1 - Pack 1 Temp in mdegC
- T2 - Pack 2 Temp in mdegC
- T3 - Pack 3 Temp in mdegC
- T4 - Pack 4 Temp in mdegC
- BSOC - System Battery State of Charge - independent of User State of Charge (USOC)
and when working properly should not drop below 40%
- CS - Charge State - Value 0-8 as follows: 0=Discharge; 1=Charge initialization; 2=Charge
Soft Start; 3=Bulk Charge; 4=Absorption Charge; 5=Equalization Charge; 6=Trickle
Charge; 7=Not used; 8=Maintenance charge
- EC - Extended Charge Needed (binary) 1=the extended charge is queued. The value
resets to 0 once the 3-6 hour extended charge is completed
The following parameters are logged upon a change to any of the three:
- AC - AC sense (binary) - AC is provided by the Firefly board according to the AC sense
in the Mantis Power Supply
- CHRG - Charge request (binary) - CHRG is provided by the Firefly board according to
whether or not it is requesting a charge.
- USOC - User State of Charge (as indicated on UI) - USOC is provided by the Firefly board
according to its tally of user charge (the value that is displayed on the UI)
Visualizations of the system battery data can be viewed through the Data Analytics dashboard if the
system has been properly configured for Insite connectivity. The visualizations and parametric data
show a historical view of system health and can be used as a tool to predict potential failures. When
the Lowest Peak Input Voltage (LPIV) drops below 110V, the system batteries may need to be
monitored. If the LPIV drops below 95V, the batteries may not recover and may need (proactive)
replacement. While monitoring LPIV, also consider the battery state of charge; a low LPIV and a
low state of charge may only be indicative of discharged batteries and not necessarily failed
batteries.
During charging, a shorted cell can be "hidden" from detection. A "shorted cell" often times is not
an actual short but a very low capacity cell. Therefore, during recharge it will actually take a higher
percentage of the voltage given a higher internal impedance. This will then result in that cell
warming up, which makes it more efficient in charging. Multiple bad cells in an 18 cell pack (6 cells
per battery) may cause that pack to trip the thermal limit. When measuring a battery pack voltage
then, its voltage may appear consistent with the other packs in the system.
The best way to detect a shorted cell is during a state of discharge, with the system indicating
< 60%, and ideally measured with the batteries disconnected from the system.
Measurements in-system is possible using the "Power Control Limits" diagnostic under the "System
Power" heading (Figure 8-52). In this situation with the system disconnected from an AC source,
you can use this diagnostic as a way to obtain Pack 1 through Pack 4 voltages and temperatures.
It is recommended in this case to increase the load on the batteries by turning on the field light
several times. You need to press "Start" in the diagnostics to refresh the results. This will help reveal
a pack with a shorted cell, should one exist. See 10.10.2 Examples on page 643.
Note: After replacing a single battery pack into a system, it is possible that voltage differences may exist,
even differences that look like a shorted cell (2Vdc). Also account for pack 4 offset pending on the
state of charge. The new pack may have a different state of charge compared to the others and
thus, a different voltage. See 10.10.1 Replacement on page 642 for guidance on battery pack
replacement.
Table 8-7
All batteries lose charge over time when kept on open circuit (shelf storage). This phenomenon is
termed self-discharge. Storage temperature is the key factor influencing the self-discharge rate
because it plays a major role in determining the speed at which the internal chemical reaction
proceeds. As temperature increases, the speed of chemical reactions increases.
For the system battery packs, the recommended storage temperature is 25°C (77°F). At 25°C
(77°F), the storage life recommended by GE is 6 months. For every 8°C rise in ambient
temperature, the storage life is cut by 50%.
1. Spare battery packs should be stored in a clean, dry, cool location, ideally between 10°C
(50°F) and 25°C (77°F) for no longer than 1 year.
2. Should the battery packs be stored at higher temperatures or for longer than 1 year, they must
be put through a refresh charge.
3. If the open-circuit voltage (OCV) of a battery pack drops to 36V while in storage, it must be put
through a refresh charge. The battery pack may be permanently damaged if the OCV is
allowed to drop below 35.7V.
Table 8-8
Table 8-9
Table 8-9
A temperature-stabilized but improperly stored system could have some power related issues:
• Very low level of charge (approximately 135Vdc). You may see the following:
- System battery level errors.
- System trips the breaker when trying to power up.
- System randomly shuts down, in conjunction with an imbalanced battery pack voltage
level.
- System will not power up (If voltage falls below 85Vdc).
- Generator errors.
A common indication is the system reports generator and/or system errors at boot. In some cases,
these issues are seen even when the system reports a healthy amount of charge remaining via the
battery indicator. This does not necessarily mean part replacement. See Sections
10.10.1 Replacement on page 642, 8.8.4 Battery Charging Theory (Charge Cut-Off / Hold-Off) on
page 453, and 10.10.2 Examples on page 643.
Table 8-10
Table 8-11
Other charge related faults could cause this condition, such as cabling defects or resistive
connections (introducing impedance imbalances among the battery packs and/or their
connections).
Table 8-12
Table 8-13
If upon review of the system error logs, these codes appear frequently, it may indicate the batteries
are weak and ready for replacement. Before part replacement, consider that these messages may
also appear following a period of non-use of the system (requiring a full system charge to remedy),
or a usage pattern that does not allow a full system recharge. See Section 8.8.4 Battery Charging
Theory (Charge Cut-Off / Hold-Off) on page 453, and 10.10.2.1 A confirmed generator error fix after
a full system charge. on page 643.

A short-circuit condition
The short circuit may exist on the Firefly, Locust, or Cricket board, but these circuit boards have
fuses that will likely blow first. A short in the wiring harnesses could also result in a breaker trip.
However, these conditions are probably a least likely cause within the context of this discussion.
See Section 8.7 System Breaker Tripping on page 446 for detailed theory and fault isolation.

10.2.3 Reset AP
Resetting the AP can be done if it is believed that the AP software or configuration is causing issues
with system to detector communication. Once the AP reset is done, reboot the system, then Commit
the Country selection in SUIF > Configuration > Site, then reboot again. The selection for Country
will remain the same, however the information will need to be committed and the system needs to
be restarted for the Country value to be updated back to the AP. All detectors will need to be
repaired, but not re-registered once this is done as well.
Gen 1 only - To reset the AP configuration for Gen 1, type:
sudo /magichome/xruser/bin/interfaceToAccessPoint factoryReset ENTER

2. Remote user can (through VNC) type: nautilus ENTER into the engineering terminal to
start the Nautilus UI.
10.3.1 Introduction
The Djinn Beetle generator is the X-ray generation subsystem used in Optima XR240amx systems.
It is a bootable subsystem with 2 way CANOpen communication to the system. Logic power is a
48V DC input from the system’s LVLE2. Battery stack voltage is also input to the generator.
FE actions: Tests (performed by the System with a manual set-up), or manual tests (electrical
measurements, cable checks….)
In each diagnostic sequence, a list of actions is listed, System diagnostics are named “Diag” and
FE actions are named “FE”. Based on this action result, some FRUs can be excluded. If several
FRUs are still possibly faulty, then another diagnostic will be applied, and so on. However if only
one FRU can be faulty, then the FRU is isolated and the action result is given.
The generator subsystem will communicate to the system if the Main Auxiliary Module is
disconnected or not communicating. If the power module is not communicating there will be no
communication with the system.
In these situations, you would normally expect to see the following errors:
FRU System System errortext debug text (with M class service key)
disconnected error code
Main Aux 3600124 Generator DjinnError 0480H: Rotor communication problem, 087BH:
Communication Failure Rotation not ready when requested temperature
Main Aux 3606001 Generator Error Generator in ERROR state
Power 3600124 Generator Communication with the generator has been lost
Module Communication Failure
Diagnostic sequence: Check the following, if these functions are not working as expected, the
problem may be deeper than a communication issue.
• Check cables between Power Module and Main Auxiliary Module and System. Run LVLE2
CAN cable connection test; LVLE2 output voltage tests starting on pg. 546.
• Check that techniques adjust normally, without added delay. If there is any latency between
adjacent selections, there may be other system issues.
• Check Djinn Beetle LEDs status (pg. 517), if all LEDs are off, refer to error 0A85 and check
power connections.
• Restart system and Djinn Generator (Power OFF / Power ON).
• If problem persists, re-download Djinn Software.
In This State the System Will The System Will Not The System May Allow

Show actual Generator reported
errors in Error Log.
There are a few ways to troubleshoot at this point and these should always be attempted before
ordering parts.
1. Analyze the Class M Error Log. Look for generator errors that may have happened in the
recent past, these may contain the information needed to troubleshoot the true issue.
2. Look for other errors or issues with the system, specifically ones that are related to the
functions of the Spyder board. It’s possible that the Spyder board may be corrupt causing
communication issues with the Djinn, troubleshoot Spyder board if needed.
3. Check Auxiliary and PM LEDs (pg. 518)
4. Complete Cable Checks within the generator and between the system, check for continuity
within the cables with multi meter where possible.
5. Attempt several reboots. If you can get the generator to boot (without error) even one time, you
may be able to reproduce the error and then the system will display this error. Use the Debug
text portion of the error to troubleshoot further.
6. Perform a Generator SW Download. This may take several attempts / reboots. If successful,
it may overwrite corrupt data and solve the issue.
7. Replace the Power Module.
8. Replace the Main Auxiliary Module.
9. Replace the Spyder Board.
However, if the generator continues to make these clicking noises, this indicates that something is
wrong, usually that the generator is not able to boot. If the generator continues to click after boot:
Inspect power connections and voltage levels to the Main Auxiliary Module and Power Module.
Refer to error 0A85.
Perform the Djinn Main Auxiliary Fuse Test.
Replace Power Module if not resolved

10.3.3.6 Wiring
If wiring issues are at all suspected, it is strongly advised to closely inspect everything. Here are
some things to look for:
- Loose wires inside of connectors
- Receded pins / receptacles inside of cable connectors
- Loose terminals on the HV Tank, Power and Main Aux Modules
- Visually inspect for pinched insulation within the connectors

The generic errors shown above may be displayed to the customer on the applications screen if a
generator issue occurs. Additional more detailed errors are present in the class M error log. For
example, the system raises the Abort error 3600130 if the Djinn sends it any Abort class error.
Similarly the system raises the Warning error 3600131 if the Djinn sends it any Warning class error
and so on.
Generator error codes consist of four numbers written in hexadecimal. The first two digits describe
the Djinn module sub component to which the error is related, as you can see in the table below.
The last two digits provide the specific details of the error condition.

See the HV receptacles for Anode and Cathode where HV Cables shall be connected
High Voltage (HV) Tank, INT MEAS board (TP4: Anode current, TP5: Cathode current, TP6:
Ground; when referenced to ground, 10mV ≡ 1mA)
Due to the high voltages produced in the HV Tank, oil is used to isolate the high voltage components
from the casing. If you ever see oil seeping from the HV Tank, replace it immediately.
The MAIN AUXILIARY Module (sometimes referred to as the Main Aux Box or 15kW Aux Box)
serves three main purposes:
- Control and interface to the Tube’s rotor.
- Pass through of the system stack voltage to Power Module (with the addition of a
stiffening capacitor); the Neon’s N1 and N2 indicate the presence of DC BUS voltage.
- Monitoring of the Tube’s thermal sensor.
The 30kW AUXILIARY Module (sometimes referred to as the 30kW Aux Box) adds additional
stiffening capacitance to the MAIN AUXILIARY Module.
The Neon’s N1 and N2 indicate the presence of DC BUS voltage.

2. MAIN AUX Module LEDs
Main Auxiliary Module : NEON N1 and N2 lamps ON if Capacitor is charged (DC BUS presence).
When generator is put into IDLE state, after a few min the generator DC Bus will discharge.
Generator is put into IDLE state when the tube is put into the park position or the system goes into
standby mode.
Generator Configuration and Calibration
A. Generator SW Download
The Djinn generator is a bootable subsystem with its own resident software. Components of this
software reside on the POWER Module and the MAIN AUXILIARY Module. No software is loaded
on the HV Tank. To update the generator software in the field the system must be used to download
the software from the system to the generator. Note that every system has both the 15kW and the
30kW software packages stored in it. The generator relies on the system to provide it the correct
15kW/30kW software configuration, it cannot sense if it’s physically configured as a 15kW or 30kW.
Note that after a SW download, it is needed to perform a filament calibration (see section c below
for more details).
The Filament Drive Calibration should be performed when performing an X-ray Tube replacement.
1. Since this calibration is used to adjust filament drive levels, it is completely normal to get some
errors while running this calibration. As long as the Calibration completes successfully, do
not worry if you see “mA measurement at start of exposure lower than expected [mA <
target - 20%]” (debug text = 0B84), “mA measurement at start of exposure higher than
expected [mA > target + 20%]” (debug text = 0B85) or “Filament ageing saturation
detected when computed target reach command limit” (debug text = 0B86) errors
during calibration. You may also see system reported errors “OpDesc received
negative PPD parameter”.
2. If however the Filament Drive Calibration errors out and cannot complete, further
troubleshooting is necessary.
The information given by the error code and its description text includes that following:
• Description: it describes briefly the error detected in Generator.
• Data: it shows detailed information over the state of the generator when the error occurred. It
is composed by 5 fields: data content (i.e. HV Tank temperature), data description (i.e.
temperature), data value (i.e. type float with 2 decimal parts), data gain (i.e. multiplication by
10) and data unit (i.e. mA).
• Precise description: it shows additional information of the error. It defines the description of
the error in detail with their database value.
• Error class: there are three classes of errors that correspond to different levels of impact to
the system.
A Djinn inhibit error will abort the ongoing x-ray exposure, and go to an error state until the cause
of error disappeared.
A Djinn abort error will abort the ongoing x-ray exposure and immediately go back to a standby
state (i.e. tube arc).
A Djinn warning is only the information. The Generator will not abort the ongoing x-ray exposure
and it will not go back to a standby state (i.e. input voltage slightly out of range).

Definitions
Electronics
The primary function of the readout electronics is to convert the charge into digital image data.
This data is then transmitted to the system through a wireless link or an Ethernet connection.
Do not swing the device into hard surfaces, especially corners, as this may scratch the
cover, create image quality artifacts, or damage the electronics inside.
Special Instructions if the detector is dropped: Inspect the exterior for any possible cracks. Run
Detector Check to test the detector. It will be clear if the electronics are not functioning. Other
possible failures may include communication problems, image quality degradation, and loss of
power. If any or all of these occur, call your GE Service Representative.
Detector surfaces have been treated with a finish to provide a smooth and easily cleanable surface.
Take care to protect the surface from scratches.
Extra precautions should be taken if the device will be exposed to excessive amounts of
bodily fluids or liquids.
The detector is designed to prevent some liquids or particulate matter from getting inside the cover.
It can sustain a temporary splash or spray, but it is not designed to be immersed in liquid (not even
temporarily).
A 3-axis accelerometer inside monitors the shock events. The Digital Detector can record “Bump
Events” as a result of mishandling.
Note: In the event that the detector is dropped or receives an impact, a QAP should be performed and
passed before imaging is attempted.

A Band Selection section is now located above the IP settings within the Network Configuration
screen as highlighted above. The default selection is to use both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. This screen
should be used to in place of the modifications called out in the Wireless Band Selection Service
Instruction (DOC1273850).
If the site is utilizing Band Steering or Band Select then you set the device to utilize 5 GHz.
If the site is only utilizing a single band for their network, then using this feature will not resolve any
connectivity issues the site is having.
If analysis of the wpa_supplicant.log file shows equal challenges connecting to 2.4 GHz (channels
1, 6, & 11) and 5 GHz channels then this feature will most likely not help with connectivity issues
the customer is having.
10.9.2.2 Cause
If the site is using Band Steering, Band Select, or some other similar technology the problem is that
the site is using methods outside of the 802.11 standard to guide clients that are capable of
operating on both 802.11 bands up to the less congested 5 GHz band. WiFi operates in two discrete
frequency bands: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Most hospitals primarily utilize the 2.4 GHz band for their
wireless networks as it has better spatial coverage and decreases the total cost of ownership/
operation for a wireless network. Unfortunately, the 2.4 GHz band only offers 3 available channels
for use in an enterprise network, which leads to many issues in larger institutions including co-
channel interference and overcrowding.
To alleviate this, many sites are now beginning to utilize the 5 GHz spectrum as well as there are
more than 20 channels available and much less traffic. Since most clients only support 2.4 GHz, if
a network that utilizes Band Steering/Band Select sees a client capable of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
connections it will not let the client connect to the 2.4 GHz network. By doing this, the goal is to force
the client to move to the 5 GHz network and minimize connections on the 2.4 GHz network.
Vendor implementations of Band Steering vary widely, but each has its own perils and pitfalls from
the client’s perspective. This manifests itself as long roaming times (large gaps in connectivity while
moving around the hospital) and further inspection of log files shows little success connecting to 2.4
GHz Access Points (APs) while also showing consistent success connecting to 5 GHz APs.
There are other times where for other reasons (usually pertaining to timing settings on the wireless
controllers) having the client operate on one band or the other only instead of both is desirable.
10.9.3 Roaming
Whereas previously adjustments to the roaming algorithm was done via the command line, the
parameters are now adjustable via the Roaming Tab in the wireless configuration screen. See
Figure 10-116.
Figure 10-116
Default value is -75 dB, users should not have to adjust this value.
Default value is -80 dB, users should not have to adjust this value.
For example, if the value is set to 7 dB, our current RSSI is -70 dB, and the best AP we see that
matches the current profile is -63 dB, the system will attempt to roam to the new AP.
The default value is 7 dB. Environments with dense AP deployments or lots of sharp corners may
find they need to decrease this value in order to improve roaming performance.
10.9.3.4 Slow & Fast Scan Rate and Fast scan when signal is below threshold
The final three sliders on this page determine how often the client is performing background scans
to evaluate the RF environment. One of the primary jobs of the wireless software is to constantly
monitor the RF environment it is in to determine whether it is connected to the proper AP or whether
it is time to roam to a new one. The way our client does this is by doing what is called a background
scan. These sliders help determine how often that background scan is performed.
The Fast scan when signal is below threshold determines when the fast scan rate is used and when
the slow scan rate is used. If the signal strength of the current connection falls below this threshold,
the fast scan rate will be used. If the signal strength of the current connection is above this
threshold, the slow scan rate is used.
In dense installations of APs (APs are not spaced very far apart) it may be necessary to decrease
the fast scan rate to 4 seconds and the slow scan rate to 10 seconds so that the client can pick up
the new APs quickly as they become available.
10.9.4 Advanced
The final update to the user interface is the addition of the Advanced Tab (Figure 10-117).

• If the new battery pack's voltage begins to spike during the first recharge, it is likely already
100% charged, and the remaining 3 packs are not. So long as the voltage of the new pack does
not exceed 48Vdc, the charging will continue.

Error log analysis - As the system is booted the generator reports its own boot errors.
• Error code 3400017 is the successful system boot. This is the PC reporting the OS and
Applications boot process.
• Approximately 15 seconds later the generator reports its boot status to the PC. Note the time
stamps of the 4 generator errors. They are milliseconds apart. The Error Text is a generic
statement. The Debug Text is the detail from the generator.

- To see the Debug Text you must have either Class C or Class M SUIF access.
• DjinnError 0581H is the first and key error. Among other things it points to the batteries.
• DjinnError 0504H is the second error and a result, not a cause.
Interpretation - This is indicative of low system batteries SOC, probably in the 135Vdc range. This
value is suggested because there is enough power to boot and stay up for a short time before the
breaker trips.
Recommendations:
1. If possible, in this state, with the system un-plugged, run the SUIF 'Diagnostics ' Hardware
Diagnostics ' System Power ' Power Control Limits
Record the individual "Actual" battery voltages, battery current, and LVLE2 current values.
The sum of the battery values should be close to estimated value above.
The Battery current should be approximately -0.8 to -0.9 amps and the LVLE2 +0.8 to +0.9
amps in system idle state.
2. Fully charge the system (4 to 6 hours) un-interrupted.
3. Perform step 1 again after the full charge and the system un-plugged.
4. Turn the collimator light on several times to remove the surface charge. (You will see the
battery voltage go down)
5. Record the voltages again after the last collimator lamp cycle.
Interpretation - With the system unplugged (not charging), brand new battery packs will maintain a
relatively close voltage relationship with its neighbors, generally within 1.5 volts. As battery packs
age a weak pack will start to create more separation from its neighbors, generally 2 to 3 volts. When
a pack is nearing its end of useful life, this separation will occur much quicker as it can no longer
sustain the necessary energy demanded by the system.

POWER CONTROL LIMITS DIAG PASS
A "LOW" battery pack - this is generally a battery pack that is > 1.5Vdc lower than the other packs.
Overall the system stack voltage will usually look good, but under loads the system stack voltage
will drop, and the system can produce generator errors describe earlier and/or trip the breaker.
In this "Real" example it is clear that pack 4 is weak and cannot provide the necessary energy
required to adequately operate the system. Errors begin to occur after approximately 20 minutes of
use with the breaker eventually tripping. However, you may want to exercise your system more than
10 collimator cycles to ensure good battery health.

Always be certain of the cause of the carriage safety lock engagement before disengaging the
carriage safety lock. If the carriage safety lock has engaged due to a problem in the counterweight
system it is critical to resolve that problem before disengaging the carriage safety lock.
When performing the column replacement procedure it is possible that the carriage safety lock may
become engaged if the carriage assembly is lifted upwards while the column vertical lock is
engaged. This is the only situation where the procedure below should be applied.
If the carriage safety lock becomes engaged while performing this procedure, use the following
steps to disengage it:
a. Ensure that the horizontal arm, tube, and collimator are installed and the vertical lock is
engaged. See 11.6.1 Engaging Vertical Lock on page 809.
b. Remove the 4 screws and carriage cover plate. See Figure 11-139.
c. With one person lifting up slightly on the horizontal arm, have the other person pry the
carriage safety lock upwards with a large flat blade screwdriver. See Figure 11-140.
d. Once the carriage safety lock is disengaged, slowly lower the horizontal arm until the steel
cable is supporting the weight.
e. Install the carriage cover plate and 4 screws.
f. Disengage the vertical lock.
1. Lock the vertical carriage. See 11.6.1 Engaging Vertical Lock on page 809.
2. Remove the 4 fasteners and the carriage cover plate from the carriage. See Figure 11-141.
Save these parts to use on the new carriage.

3. Using caution, as these parts are under tension from the springs, remove both spring cap
screws. The hardware on these cap screws is very easy to fall off the cap screw and drop down
into the column. It is best to use a T-handle hex wrench for this task; hex wrenches with a ball
end will not work well. Note the order in which the hardware is placed on the cap screws. See
Figure 11-142.
4. Remove the cap screws, collars, and washers from the old carriage. Save these parts to use
on the new carriage.
5. Mark the location of existing cables ties and then remove cable ties as necessary to free the
column of any cable restraints or obstructions.
Note: ’Temporary’ cable ties can be used to mark the location of the old ties; they also help to hold the
relative position of the cables to each other when the old ties are removed. These ties are temporary
and will be removed during reassembly.
7. Remove the X-ray tube. See 11.6.8 X-ray tube on page 844.
8. Remove the horizontal arm. See 11.6.3 Horizontal Arm Assembly on page 821.
9. See Figure 11-143. Remove the cable bracket (Item 1) from the side of the column.

11.7.1.4 Safety
• None
11.7.1.5 Procedure
See Section 4.16 Installing Digital Detectors on page 176.
11.7.2.4 Consumables
• Isopropyl Alcohol
• Masking tape or other tape that will not leave an adhesive/residue on the detector after
removal.
11.7.2.6 Safety
• None
11.7.2.7 Procedure
The process to install the detector grip is the same for both 10×12 and 14×17 detectors.
Note: The grip has very strong adhesive. If the grip is misplaced on the detector the grip will not come off
without having to order a new grip and clean the adhesive off of the detector.
The grip is to be placed on the non-image side (side with label) as shown below.
1. Using Isopropyl alcohol clean the surface of the detector to remove any dirt and/or debris. After
cleaning the surface, wait 5 minutes prior to installing the grip.
2. See Figure 11-217. Place a piece of tape on the longer edge of the detector approximately 0.5
inch (12mm) from the edge. Ensure that the tape is even across the detector. The tape will be
used to correctly align the grip.
3. Prior to removing the adhesive backing place, place the grip on the detector to ensure that the
placement is accurate. The detector grip should be centered in the detector with 0.5 inch
(12mm) gap at all four sides. See Figure 11-217.
4. See Figure 11-218. Partially remove the backing from the detector grip.
5. See Figure 11-219. Using the tape as a reference, lightly place the end of the grip against the
tape.
6. See Figure 11-220. Carefully pull off the remainder of the backing while adhering the grip to
the detector. This is to ensure the grip stays aligned and adheres without trapping air bubbles.
7. See Figure 11-221. Keep the last portion lifted slightly up and do not let it fall completely onto
the detector. Due to the existing detector label, the thin part of the grip can sometimes fold or
bubble. Doing this and slowly placing the grip onto the detector will help prevent any placement
issues.
8. Once the grip is in place, remove the masking tape and firmly press down onto the grip to
ensure complete adhesion.
11.7.2.8 Finalization
Insert the detector into the bin and ensure that the detector can be placed in and out of the bin
without any issues. Also check to ensure that the bin battery indicator shows that detector is in place
and charging.
11.7.3.5 Safety
• None
11.7.3.6 Procedure
This procedure applies to detector handles with or without grid (black or white).
1. Remove the four Hex Socket Button Head Screw M4x6 as shown below.
4. Insert Detector Handle Latch Spring into Detector Handle Latch as shown below.
6. Secure Detector Handle Latch Stoppers into Detector Handle using four Hex Socket Button
Head Screw M4x6 as shown below. Torque to 1.2 N-m (10.6 lb-in).
7. Ensure that Detector Handle Latch Lock and Detector Handle Latch slide and operate freely
through entire range.
