WARNING Risk of accident and injury!

Failure to observe the guidelines specified in this document may
lead to serious injury or loss of life.
¹ The guidelines contained in this document must be
strictly followed.

High voltage

WARNING Risk of electric shock!

Dangerous voltages may be present.
¹ Switch off the main power supply before working on the
system and secure the system against unattended
switch on.
¹ Allow at least two minutes discharge time after switching
off the system. Prior to starting work on the components
indicated below. Measure the voltage level in the PDS
(right gantry stand) between D450 X7 and X9. The voltage
must be below 40 VDC.
¹ Connect the stationary and rotating parts of the gantry
with a protective conductor prior to working in the gan-
try.

• Hazardous voltage levels may be present ( 565 V DC ) at the following parts even if the
system is switched off:
- DCC - Power D450
- Slip rings
- Carbon brushes
- Generator electronics

Working in the gantry

• Prior to starting work in the gantry:
- Wait until rotation has stopped
- Disable gantry rotation via service switch S5 on MAS D301
- Use the mechanical brake to prevent gantry rotation while working in the gantry.

NOTE Enable gantry rotation after finishing the work.

- Connect the stationary and rotating parts of the gantry with a protective conductor pri-
or to working in the gantry.

NOTE Remove the cable prior to rotating the gantry.

Automatic procedures

WARNING Risk of injury!

When a program is running with automatic movements or auto-
matic radiation.
¹ Do not leave the system unattended

Radiation protection

WARNING Risk of exposure to X-rays!

Certain tests and procedures use X-rays.

¹ Observe radiation protection regulations.

• Observe the following protective measures when working on the CT unit with radiation
"ON":
- use a radiation shield
- maintain a safe distance from the source, the farther the better
- use the minimum dose, smallest slice-thickness
- remove the phantom ( if possible ).

Bloodborne pathogens

WARNING Infection caused by bloodborne pathogens:

Handling parts of the system that may have come into contact with
patients may lead to infections caused by bloodborne pathogens.

HV_Drop Explanation 0

The actual high tension (P_UTact and N_UTact ) is monitored by the board D400. If either
positive, negative or both are arcing (high tension breakdown greater than 30 kV) the
D400 will send the HV_drop signal. In this case, the main inverter will be stopped and
restarted within 2 ms to prevent a high tension error.
Example: If during a 120 kV exposure, the 60 kV negative voltage side would "drop", the
60 KV positive voltage side would try to compensate the voltage and try to raise to 120
kV. If the positive side were allowed to rise to 120 kV, a safety scan abort would be per-
formed when the HT reaches 82 kV.

NOTE The HV_drop is recorded in the tube history but the HV_drop alone
CANNOT be used to evaluate tube performance.
The HV_drop is transmitted to the MAR. The MAR will mark the
readings in which the HV_drop was active to allow the IRS to inter-
polate these readings.
Also the firmware counts the number of HV_drops within 300 ms.
If there are to many HV_drops within 300 ms, an error is generated.

The oscillogram shows the generation of the HV_drop signal. The key point is where
HV_drop is active for 1.25 msec, the high voltage drops and is restored, allowing the scan
to continue without errors.

X-Ray timeout Test 0

General 0

The timeout-test is used to check the automatic supervision of the total radiation duration
in the customer modes TOPO, SEQUENCE and SPIRAL. A longer radiation duration than
given by the rated value of the loaded mode is attempted. The scan has to be canceled
after 110% of the rated value and the scanner has to switch to state ABORT.
For modes TOPO and SEQUENCE, all selectable scantimes can be checked. For mode
SPIRAL, a rotation time and three different lengths of spiral ("min", "medium" and "max")
can be selected.

Procedure 0

• change to service mode Options / Local Service

• select TestTools
• select Controller
• select XRS
• select Xray timeout
• select Topo, Sequence or Spiral
(for each mode, different parameter selections are possible)
• select Go
• press START
An abort is expected when the radiation duration supervision is active.
The test is finished if the message "XRS Xray timout test completed" appears

• a System Continue must be performed after the timeout test

High Voltage Test HVC01 (without rotation) 0

General 0

The test HVC01 checks the high tension path without tube current and without rotation. To
isolate a high tension fault to either the tube or HV tank, the test plugs (16 21 791) must
be used. When the scan is finished, the measured values are displayed.
Example:
Results of last HVC01 Test Scan: UT_act:130.000KV, IT_act: 0 mA
(retrieved from table T5E)

NOTICE The HVC01 test should not be performed with the tube connected,
because this can lead to misdiagnosis of failures.
Before replacing the Tube, try gettering to reestablish stable oper-
ation!

Troubleshooting hint in case of HW - MUX Errors

If one of the following errors occurs sporadically:
• CT_MAR_16, CT_MAR_41, CT_MAR_42
• CT_MAS_26, CT_MAS_27, CT_MAS_46
• CT_PHS_42
a possible cause is oil on the slipring.

Cleaning the slip ring system

• Remove the carbon dust from the slip ring using a vacuum cleaner while rotating the
gantry step by step manually counter clockwise.
• Clean the inner two slip rings (control data slip rings) first with a dry paper towel and
then with an alcohol-soaked paper towel.

Cleaning the data slip rings with the slip ring cleaner, part no. 73 95 440

• Press the slip ring cleaner onto the sur-

face of the control data slip rings and ro-
tate the gantry manually counter
clockwise by 360 degree.
