The PC guard is only active during boot-up and controls if the IPC has started correctly. Otherwise, it
reboots the IPC1000. The user can recognize this only by a longer boot time. If any problem occurs
during start-up, an entry in the logfile (on IPC1000) is created.

Remark: For IPC1000 00-453962-xx (0,5k) or 00-453962-xx (1k) the PC guard is built-in. The
funtionality is identical.

4.1.5 System boot-up

When the UIF CR boot-up and the IPC 1000 boot-up are completed successfully, communication
between IPC 1000 and UIF CR (COM 1) gets established. Successful communication is indicated when
the UIF view switches to a color screen ==> System is ready

4.1.6 Power OFF

To start the Power off procedure press OFF Button on UIF CL or CR.
The following procedure is running now :
IPC RTS signal (CTS signal on B380) of COM-1 is high. B380 is sending the sequence for shut down via
COM1 to IPC. IPC now starts to shut down the Linux system. Communication on COM1 has now ended.
B380 switches User Interface to white screen and shows message “Shutdown”. At this time, two timers
start: Shutdown timer and Turn-off timer. The shutdown counter is displayed on this screen, too.
While timeout is running, B380 checks CTS signal.
CTS signal:
High: IPC1000 is not active
Low: IPC1000 is active

Case 1: CTS signal is low while Shutdown timer > 0:

this is the normal case. When B380 detects a low signal on CTS, the B380 switches off the system
immediately. In the EEPROM it is stored that shutdown was successful.

Case 2: Shutdown-timer=0 and CTS is still high:

this is the error case. The following warning message is displayed on the User Interface :”System
reorganization is running (ca. 3 minutes). Please don’t turn off system” (in 8 languages).

Case 2.1: Turn-off Timer >0 and CTS is low:

after case 2, the IPC shutdown was successful. The system is switched off by the B380. In the EEPROM it
is stored that shutdown after reorganization was successful. On next reboot, there will be an entry
stored in the Log file: „IPC: Reorganization SHUTDOWN OK“.

Case 2.2: Turn-off Timer=0 and CTS is high

After case 2, the IPC1000 shutdown was not successful. The system will be switched off by the B380. In
the EEPROM it is stored that reorganization was not successful. On next reboot, there will be an entry
stored in the Log file: “IPC SHUTDOWN NOT OK“.

4.2.6 B379 Input current limiter + Generator power

4.2.6.1 Input current limiter
When power is first applied, the transformer generates a high inrush current that is limited by this circuit
to avoid damage. A resistor (10 Ohm for 240VAC, 5Ohm for 120VAC) in series to the transformer limits
the inrush current. A R/C timing circuit (R3 and C1) causes a delayed switch of relay K1 to bypass the
current limiter for regular application. K1 and R4 cause a discharge of C1 when the system is turned off.

4.2.6.2 Generator Power Supply

On X3-1 and X3-2, the DC voltage (GL1) is connected that loads the external capacitor C1 (X3-5 and X3-
6) through inductor L1 and diode D10. C13 is charged through resistors R10 and R11 until U1 reaches its
trigger point and starts. Q1 charges inductor L1 and the load is discharged through D10 to capacitor C1.
The auxiliary winding on L1 takes over the supply of U1. The output voltage is regulated through the
dividers R19, R18 and R21. The mirrored input voltage is supplied to the multiplier in U1 through the
resistors R16 and R17 to generate a sinusoidal current. When the system is turned off, capacitor C1 is
discharged through R2 and K2B. Thermo switch S1 protects the resistor R2 from over current in case of
failure.

4.3 Image System

4.3.1 Circuit/Mechanical Description
4.3.1.1 Overview
The CCD Camera Video XR OEC is used to reproduce the image of an image intensifier on a CCD sensor.
With the CCD Camera, the partial components of optics, mechanics and electronics are combined to
form an optimized unit for X-ray diagnostics. The system has a modular design in all three partial areas
so that it is always possible to update the system to the "state of the art" later. To keep the adjustment
work on the image intensifier as low as possible when the CCD Camera is mounted, the individual
components are already configured in the factory. The lens has been optimized for different
reproduction scales, i.e. the CCD Camera can be used on a number of image intensifier tubes without
replacement of the lens. The image quality remains almost constant in this process. The mechanics offer
a series of options such as motor-driven iris and image rotation specially designed for the demands of
X-ray diagnostics. The standard of mechanical stability over the service life of the camera meets the
high expectations made of a medical engineering product. The camera electronics are based on the use
of the most sophisticated CCD technology. A 112"CCD is used as image detector. The electronics are
highly integrated to allow the possibility of integrating a number of image processing hardware features
in the camera head.

The Video XR OEC CCD camera can be controlled by external hardware control signals and by its RS-232
interface.
The external hardware control signals are used for easy interfacing the camera to the radiological unit.
The RS-232 interface provides additional control capabilities.
Any function of the camera is controlled either by an external hardware control signal or by the RS-232
interface.
All application related functions are controlled by the camera control software AFS.EXE.
This software is runs under WINDOWS 2000 and WINDOWS XP and allows the user an easy in-the-field
set-up of the camera and maintenance.
The AFS covers functions that are necessary to set up the camera in a radiological unit.
A function may have a Set-part and / or a Get-part and one or more parameters.
A Set-part writes a parameter to the camera while a Get-part delivers the actual value for a parameter
from the camera.

4.3.1.2 Charge Coupled Device (CCD)

The incoming light reaches the surface of the CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor. The CCD
image sensor produces an output signal whose level corresponds to the incoming light intensity (Pre-
Video).
The output signal is buffered and sent to the Analog Front End (AFE).
The CCD is operated in frame integration mode to achieve maximum spatial resolution.
Due to this, the integration phases of the odd and even field pixels are overlapping by 50%.

4.3.1.3 Analog Front End (AFE)

The Analog Front End performs the following functions:
Sample / Hold of the Pre-Video-Signal to generate a continuous video signal
Digital Adjustable Amplification (DAA)
The DAA performs variable amplification of the video signal before analog to digital conversion. It is a
part of the Manual or Automatic Gain Control circuitry of the camera.
Dark Signal Stabilization (DSS)
The DDS is related to the so-called dark reference pixel on the CCD. It stabilizes the digital value of the
mentioned pixel at predefined positive value and compensates changes due to temperature, gain, etc.

51 of 386
4 Theory of Operation 4.3 Image System

Therefore, the video signal meets the input range of the ADC. DSS is not related to the minimum video
signal (see also DRE-Function.)
Analog to Digital Conversion (ADC)
The amplified video signal is transmitted to an analog to digital converter. The digitization is
straightforward binary, 12 Bit; higher values belong to higher light levels. The digital video signal is than
transmitted to the Digital Timing and Process Unit.

4.3.1.4 Digital Timing and Processing Unit (DTPU)

The DTPU generates all timing signals necessary to operate the camera. This includes clocks for driving
the CCD, the AFE, the micro controller, the power supply, digital-analog re-conversion, different I/O-
signals and internal clocks to control the signal processing.

The digital signal processing incorporates the following functions:

Generation of Measurement Window MW

The MW is a part of the whole image. Pixels inside the MW are used to control several functions of the
camera (AGC, etc). The Measurement Window has a circular shape with adjustable diameter (25% to
100% of image height). The center position of the Circular Blanking and Measurement Window are
identical.
Measurement Engine ME
The Measurement Engine calculates several parameters from the pixels inside the MW. This is done for
every field. The parameters are fed to the micro controller. These parameters are the sum, the number
of pixels, number of pixels above and below a gray level threshold.
Correction of Pixel Faults
Pixel Faults (Hot Spots) will be replaced by its nearest neighbor.
Offset Correction
Subtraction and Multiplication is applied on the video signal to achieve optimum contrast in the image.
Highlight Measuring Window
To adjust the diameter, the MW can be highlighted.
Shading Correction
To compensate the image shading due to lens and image intensifier a Shading Correction Function is
implemented. Horizontal and Vertical Shading Correction curves, both tilt and dome can be applied.
Gamma
Gamma can be selected to linearize the brightness transfer function including the CRT Monitor.
Digital Sync Mix
A digital Composite Signal is formed.
Digital to Analog Converter (DAC)
A 10 Bit Digital to Analog Converter Generates a Composite Video Signal. The Video Signal is output at
CN2.

4.3.1.5 Micro controller

After power up, the micro controller initializes all components. To do this, the micro controller reads all
parameters from a memory and sends it to the components. During operation, it handles the RS-232
communication, controls several automatic functions and performs supervising and self-test function.
A micro controller with on-board flash-memory is used, so it is possible to flash new software into the
camera. This needs special equipment.
All camera parameters are stored in an EEPROM. Via the RS-232 interface, parameters can be sent to
components (volatile) or to the EEPROM (nonvolatile).

4.3.1.6 Automatic Balance Control

The following digital signals are generated to control the X-Ray Source:

XR high
X-ray dose is too high to get a good image

XR low
X-ray dose is too low to get a good image

Additionally, two analog signals are generated:

XR Control and XR Linear

Description of the signal XR linear

This signal provides information about the actual average saturation of the CCD inside the Measuring
Window. It can be configured by the manufacturer as a voltage source (0V... -10V) or as a current source
(0uA - 10uA).

The standard setting for XR linear is: voltage source

0V 0 saturation of the CCD (dark Image)
-10V 100%saturation of the CCD

Description of the signal XR control

This signal provides information about the difference between the actual average saturation of the CCD
inside the Measuring Window and a predefined value (Set Point).
In case that these values are equal, the output voltage of the XR Control is 6V.
The total output range of XR controls are from 0V to 12V.

4.3.1.7 Power Supply

A switched mode power supply generates all voltages used inside the camera. The input range is 18V to
32V.

4.3.3 Tri Mode 9/6/4.5-inch Image Intensifier

The System uses a Tri-mode Image Intensifier tube capable of producing 9-inch, 6-inch or 4.5-inch
images. The I.I. power supply allows for Tri-mode operation.

4.3.4 Tri-Mode Power Supply (B335)

The Tri-Mode Power Supply (B335) used on the System has unique camera connectors to prevent its use
on any other system. The single power supply PCB provides all voltages and signals for the Image
Intensifier tube and CCD Camera.

4.4 Collimator
4.4.1 Circuit/Mechanical Descriptions
4.4.1.1 Beam Limiting Device DAC-8
DAC-8 is designed to control the geometry of the X-Ray beam (digitally controlled, asymmetric
collimator with 8 leaves) DAC-8 consists of an iris collimator and a slot collimator. The control unit B356
limits the angle of the X-Ray beam automatically to the field size of the image intensifier, depending on
the selected operating mode of the X-Ray system. The opening size of the iris collimator can also be
adjusted manually as required. The slot collimator consists of two parallel-assembled blades. The blades
can be manually opened, closed and moved asymmetrically in parallel. The slot collimator can be turned
by 180° max. The X-Ray beam angle is limited by a fixed lead ring to the size of the image intensifier and
the SID of the X-Ray system to prevent scatter radiation.

4.4.1.2 B356 Interface for Generator/DAC-Controller

P/n: 00-451132-xx

This PCB controls the entire generator including the collimator. The B356 is controlled through a CAN-
Bus. The functions are separated into three areas:
- Collimator Control
- Temperature/Voltage control with safety circuit
- Generator control

4.4.1.3 Collimator Control

4.4.1.3.1 Functionality

4.4.1.3.1.1 Slot collimator „Open/Close“

Activation of the slot collimator open/close key on the touch screen causes a data string to be sent via
CAN-Bus to the CAN input module (X1/11A, 11B), which hands the command to a SW task. SW then
releases data to the data latch IC3. The data combination (1) together with PWM1/PWM2 (2) (output on
X2/19A, 19B) goes to the TTL inputs on IC1/1,2,7,9,10,15. The outputs IC1/3,6,11,14 drive the motors
M1/M2 through St4/4,5,9,10 to open or close the slot collimator.
The actual slot position is determined by potentiometers P1/P2 through ST4/2,7 that provide the position
to a SW task via an analog input module (X2/2A, 2B). The actual position is constantly being compared

54 of 386
4.4 Collimator 4 Theory of Operation

to the calibrated min/max limits that are stored in the EEPROM and disables M1/M2 when the limits are
reached.

(1) Data combination controls direction and start/stop of the motors M1/M2.
(2) PWM1/PWM2 controls the motor speed of M1/M2.

4.4.1.3.1.2 Slot collimator „Rotation“

Activation of the slot collimator rotation keys on the touch screen causes a data string to be sent via
CAN-Bus to the CAN input module (X1/11A, 11B), which hands the command to a SW task. SW then
releases data to the data latch IC3. The data combination (3) together with PWM3 (4) (output on X2/18B)
goes to the TTL inputs on IC2/1,2,7. The outputs IC2/3,6 drive the motor M3 through ST4/14, 15 to rotate
the slot collimator.
The actual slot position is determined by potentiometer P3 through ST4/12 that provides the
position to a SW task via an analog input module (X2/3A). The actual position is constantly being
compared to the calibrated min/max limits that are stored in the EEPROM and disables M3 when
the limits are reached.

(3) Data combination controls direction and start/stop of the motor M3.
(4) PWM3 controls the motor speed of M3.

4.4.1.3.1.3 Iris collimator „Open/Close“

Activation of the iris collimator open/close key on the touch screen causes a data string to be sent via
CAN-Bus to the CAN input module (X1/11A, 11B), which hands the command to a SW task. SW then
releases data to the data latch IC3. The data combination (5) together with PWM4 (6) (output on X2/18A)
goes to the TTL inputs on IC2/9,10,15. The outputs IC2/11,14 drive the motor M4 through ST3/4,5 to open
or close the collimator iris.
The actual iris position is determined by potentiometers P4 through ST3/2 that provides the position to a
SW task via an analog input module (X2/3B). The actual position is constantly being compared to the
calibrated min/max limits that are stored in the EEPROM and disables M4 when the limits are reached.

(5) Data combination controls direction and start/stop of the motors M4.
(6) PWM4 controls the motor speed of M4.

4.4.1.3.2 Collimator iris control through mode selection

4.4.1.3.2.1 Zoom „On“

Activation of the zoom key on the touch screen causes a data string to be sent via CAN-Bus to the CAN
input module (X1/11A, 11B), which provides the actual iris position to SW. SW then releases data to the
data latch IC3. The data combination (5) together with PWM4 (6) (output on X2/18A) goes to the TTL inputs
on IC2/9,10,15. The outputs IC2/11,14 drive the motor M4 through ST3/4,5 to open or close the
collimator iris.
The actual iris position is determined by potentiometers P4 through ST3/2 that provides the
position to a SW task via an analog input module (X2/3B). SW compares the actual value to the
desired value and then drives the iris collimator until the actual value = desired value.

(5) Data combination controls direction and start/stop of the motors M4.
(6) PWM4 controls the motor speed of M4.

4.4.1.3.2.2 Hand mode „On“

Activation of the hand mode key on the touch screen causes a data string to be sent via CAN-Bus to the
CAN input module (X1/11A, 11B), which provides the actual iris position to SW. SW then releases data to
the data latch IC3. The data combination (5) together with PWM4 (6) (output on X2/18A) goes to the TTL

55 of 386
4 Theory of Operation 4.4 Collimator

inputs on IC2/9,10,15. The outputs IC2/11,14 drive the motor M4 through ST3/4,5 to open or close the
collimator iris.
The actual iris position is determined by potentiometers P4 through ST3/2 that provides the position to a
SW task via an analog input module (X2/3B). SW compares the actual value to the desired value and
then drives the iris collimator until the actual value = desired value.

(5) Data combination controls direction and start/stop of the motors M4.
(6) PWM4 controls the motor speed of M4.

4.4.1.3.2.3 Film mode „On“

Activation of the film mode key on the touch screen causes a data string to be sent via CAN-Bus to the
CAN input module (X1/11A, 11B), which provides the actual iris position to SW. SW then releases data to
the data latch IC3. The data combination (5) together with PWM4 (6) (output on X2/18A) goes to the TTL
inputs on IC2/9,10,15. The outputs IC2/11,14 drive the motor M4 through ST3/4,5 to open or close the
collimator iris.
The actual iris position is determined by potentiometers P4 through ST3/2 that provides the position to a
SW task via an analog input module (X2/3B). SW compares the actual value to the desired value and
then drives the iris collimator until the actual value = desired value.

(5) Data combination controls direction and start/stop of the motors M4.
(6) PWM4 controls the motor speed of M4.

4.4.1.3.2.4 Fluoro „On“

Activation of the 3mA one shot key on the touch screen causes a data string to be sent via CAN-Bus to
the CAN input module (X1/11A, 11B), which provides the actual iris position to SW. SW then releases
data to the data latch IC3. The data combination (5) together with PWM4 (6) (output on X2/18A) goes to the
TTL inputs on IC2/9,10,15. The outputs IC2/11,14 drive the motor M4 through ST3/4,5 to open or close
the collimator iris.
The actual iris position is determined by potentiometers P4 through ST3/2 that provides the position to a
SW task via an analog input module (X2/3B). SW compares the actual value to the desired value and
then drives the iris collimator until the actual value = desired value. During each boot-up, the iris is
opened in Fluoro mode by auto-relay (B101).

(5) Data combination controls direction and start/stop of the motors M4.
(6) PWM4 controls the motor speed of M4.

4.4.2 Fault Isolation

4.4.2.1 Symptom with HW failure
In the event that the actual collimator position is not reported to the controller due to a defective port or
cable, the corresponding part will drive to its mechanical limit. Since all motors are current regulated,
there will be no damage to the motors or mechanics.

4.4.2.2 Symptom with SW failure

A possible SW failure could be that SW does not read the actual collimator position and min/max limits,
causing the collimator to drive to the mechanical limits.
In case of a SW crash, the watch-dog-timer activates the safety circuit and turns off all collimator
motors, keeping it in its current position. The trigger pulses on the controller output (X2/22A) cause the
input to the watch-dog-timer to go low. The outputs of the data latch (IC3/12-19) are switched to high
impedance through signal OE (Output Enable) causing all inputs on IC1 and IC2 to go high. The output of
the analog switch interrupts all PWM lines, disabling the drives to motors M1 – M4.

4.6.1.2 B350, HV Power Supply

P/n (00-451118-xx)

The B350 supplies the HV transformer. The power amplifier consists of five transistors. The transistors T2
– T5 form the output stage. They generate the AC for the HV transformer. The transformers TR1 and TR2
drive the transistors with the signals PUSH and PULL. Transistor T1 switches power to the output stage
and is driven by the signal BUCK. Transformer TR3 is the current sensor of the output stage. Its signal is
evaluated on B352 for current balancing and output limiting.

4.6.1.3 B351, Generator Supply

P/n (00-451119-xx)
The B351 provides the Generator auxiliary supply and the filament output.

4.6.1.4 Auxiliary power supply for Maxiplus

The power supply is a half bridge - blocking oscillator type converter. The power amplifier T1, T2, D4, and
D5 is supplied through fuses Si1 and Si1, rectifier GR1, and the capacitors C1, C2. The capacitor C33 on
module B359 is charged through R1 – R3 until the switching power supply IC, IC1, starts and switching
pulses to the power amplifier through TR2 sends. At this point the transformer TR1 of the power

amplifier takes over the supply of C33 through D13. The power amplifier allows a maximum current of
0.5A with its actual value. The voltage P+ 16V is the variable for the output voltage. This voltage is
supplied to the regulator IC3 through the connections B10, B11 and switched to the switching power
supply IC through optocoupler IC2. The output voltage P+ 16V can be adjusted with R35.

4.6.1.5 Filament regulator and amplifier

The signal AUFN/DURCHL switches the output with a relay between the radiographic and Fluoro
filament. The radiographic filament is activated by a H-signal. The signal HZG_EIN activates the filament
regulation with a H-signal. The SOLL signal has two functions, desired filament value for the filament
regulation in controlled state and desired mA value for anode regulation. The signal ERA is the actual

kV – Control

The voltage dividers R47, R48 and R46, R49 provide the measured kV value to the amplifier IC11. IC12
translates the measured value for test purposes to 1V/10kV. This signal can be measured at TP3.
The desired value, measured on TP4, is supplied together with the measured kV value to the regulator
IC13 for comparison. The maximum output power can be adjusted with R80. The output signal of the
regulator is provided as a regulation value to the PWR IC17. The power amplifiers IC14, IC15, and IC16
drive the transistors of the B350 output stage.

kV – Monitor
IC19-A and IC19-B separately monitors the anode and cathode voltages and distributed as an
accumulated error to the monitor logic. The error signal is temporarily stored for processing in the uP
and reset with STM.

mA – Regulation and Filament Regulation

IC22-B is the input differential amplifier for the desire filament value or the desire anode current value.
IC23-A is the first filament amplifier for the filament regulation. IC21-B amplifies the measure filament
value to a signal that can be processed by the uP. The filament regulation itself is performed on B351.
Rel2 switches the measure values from regulation and control. The negative anode current can be
measured on TP6 (1mA=0.5V). IC22-D delivers the measure mA value for the mA regulation.

mA – Monitor
IC22-A is adjusted to a trip point of 6.6mA. When this trip point is exceeded, the timer IC2 starts. After 5.6
sec the timer delivers an error signal and turns off the generator. IC23-B has a trip point of 30mA. If this
value is exceeded, the generator immediately turns off immediately. The error signal is temporarily
stored for processing in the uP and reset with STM.

Dip Switches S600

These switches are only necessary for test equipment within production. For usage in Fluorostar all
switches must be set to the "ON" position.

4.6.1.7 B355 Signal distribution and 5KV Isolation

P/n (00-451123-xx)

The B355 provides the galvanic isolation of the following interfaces / signals:
• CAN-Bus (RX_CAN, TX_CAN)
• X-Ray On
• Laser activation (Laser_ON)
The galvanic isolation provides a 5KV isolation of the signals to the generator. In addition, the B355
distributes power to the generator.

X-Ray ON:
The B355 distributes the X-Ray On command to the B356. The galvanic isolation is realized through an
optical isolator (IC4/3 – 6). The following transistors (T1/T2) provide additional switching security. If one
transistor fails, the second transistor can control the X-Ray on command independently.
The signal runs from ST11/5, 6 through the isolator and transistors to ST10/3,4.

CAN-Bus:
The CAN-Bus is also isolated on the B355 and then routed to the B356. The optical isolators IC2, IC3
realize the isolation. The CAN-Rx signal is sent through IC2/3 >6 to ST10/7,8 and the CAN-TX signal is
received through IC3/3 >6 from ST10/5,6.
The signal runs from ST9/2,3 to the CAN controller (IC1), through the isolators (IC2, IC3), to ST10/5,6,7,8.

Laser ON:
The laser on signal is isolated by IC5. The signal enters at ST11/4, runs through IC5/2 >5 and via T3 to
ST12/2.

4.6.4.2 Modifications
Unauthorized changes or modifications on the Maxiplus 3000 or on parts of the Maxiplus 3000 may
cause hazardous consequences and may cause violation of applicable standards or legal regulations.
Changes or modifications are not permitted by GE OEC Medical Systems.

4.6.4.3 Electromagnetic Compatibility Statement

The Maxiplus 3000 has been tested and found to comply with the electromagnetic compatibility
standard EN 60601-1-2. The Declaration of Conformity can be requested at GE OEC Medical Systems
GmbH. The manufacturer of the X-Ray system, in which the Maxiplus 3000 is used as X- Ray source, is
responsible to guarantee compliance with IEC 60601-1-2 for an integrated (mobile) X-Ray system.

4.6.4.4 Non-Anesthetic Proof (Explosion)

Maxiplus 3000 is not approved to be operated in the presence of flammable anesthetic or other
flammable or explosive liquids, vapors or gases.

4.6.4.5 Safety Notes

4.6.4.5.1 Radiation Safety

The Maxiplus 3000 can be hazardous for patients and personnel. The owner of the X-Ray system, in
which the Maxiplus 3000 is used as X- Ray source, is responsible to provide safety instructions and
operating instructions for the professional use of the system. The distance to the X-Ray beam outlet
should be kept as far as possible.

4.6.4.5.2 Hazardous Temperature

- In continued operation, the housing of the Maxiplus 3000 heats up.
- A plastic cap and a skin spacer atop of the housing protects the patient from direct contact of with the
housing.
- A maximum temperature of 50°C / 122°F may occur.
- Please take care that patient and personnel have no direct contact to the housing.
- At 45°C / 113°F at the skin spacer, a safety circuit limits the anode current to 0.5mA.
- At 50°C / 122°F at the skin spacer, a safety circuit disables radiation.
- If the temperature control circuitry fails, a bi-metal temperature sensor switch terminates radiation at
80°C / 176°F to protect the equipment from damage. The bi-metal switch can only be reset manually by
service personnel.

4.6.4.5.3 Source-to-skin distance

The distance to the X-Ray beam outlet should be kept as far as possible. A skin spacer tube atop of the
housing ensures a minimum distance of 30cm to the focal spot. By removing the skin spacer tube, the
minimum source to skin distance will be decreased from 30cm to 20cm. Removal of the skin spacer
tube should be done only on the instruction of a physician for special procedures. It must be
reassembled immediately following the special procedure.

Two versions of the skin spacer tube are available:

Part Number 00-419078 normal version for Maxiplus 3000
Part Number 00-419101 version for Maxiplus 3000 with DAP / Laser equipment.

4 Theory of Operation 4.8 Motorized Motions

4.8 Motorized Motions

4.8.1 Circuit/Mechanical Descriptions
4.8.1.1 Lift Operation

C-Arm Lift Up:

When you press the up-switch, you generate a signal LMOTUP. This signal travels to PCB B380 through
U901 and exits through X105/5,6 to PCB B105. The signal passes through the upper limit switch to the
normally closed contacts of relay K5 pin 3 on PCB B105. The signal energizes the current control relay
K1, direction control up relay K2 and current enable up relay K4. These three relays, along with the
normally closed contacts of the direction control down relay K3, provide a path for the +24VDC out of
BR1, located in the power plate assembly, to activate the motor.

C-Arm Lift Down:

When you press the down-switch, you generate a signal LMODWN. This signal travels to PCB B380
through U901 and exits through X105/7,8 to PCB B105. The signal passes through the lower limit switch
to the normally closed contacts of relay K4 pin 3 on PCB B105. The signal energizes the current control
relay K1, direction control up relay K3 and current enable up relay K5. These three relays, along with the
normally closed contacts of the direction control down relay K2, provide a path for the +24VDC out of
BR1, located in the power plate assembly, to activate the motor

C-Arm Lift No Movement:

The normally closed contacts of the direction control down relay K3 and the normally closed contacts of
the direction control up relay K2 place a ground potential on both sides of the lift motor.

Attention: If Fuse F4 in the mains power supply is blown due to a defective limit switch and running
the C-Arm into the upper or lower mechanical limitation, the lift spindle and mechanical limitation must
be checked for damage.

4.8.1.2 Motorized C Rotation (optional):

B124 (Motor controller for c-rotation)

P/n: 00-451129-xx

The B124 drives and controls the c-rotation motor. The actual motor current is provided to the controller
in form of a sense voltage to protect the motor from defect from current increase due to collision. Relays
Rel 1 and Rel 2 open by collision to interrupt the current flow. This is only active on system with anti
collision control. On systems without anti collision control Rel 1 and Rel 2 are always active and have no
function.

TTL control inputs to IC1:

The signal BRAKE stops the motor through the SW controller. The signal enters on ST2/5 and goes to
IC1/4.
The signal DIRECTION controls the motor direction. This signal comes from ST2/4 and goes toIC1/3.
The signal PWM controls the motor speed through pulse width modulation. The signal runs from ST2/3
to IC1/5.

TTL control outputs on IC1:

68 of 386
4.8 Motorized Motions 4 Theory of Operation

The signal THERMAL_FLAG indicates an over temperature fault to the controller. The signal exits from
IC1/9 through ST2/1.

Analog outputs on IC1:

The CURRENT_SENSE signal provides feedback about the current in form of a voltage level to the
controller. 1V equals a current of 1A. The signal runs from IC1/8 to ST2/2.
The signals OUTPUT1 and OUTPUT2 drive the motor. The drive signals exit IC2/2,7 and go through
ST1/1,2.

Power supply for IC1:

IC2 ensures that IC1 is supplied with a constant 24V. The fuse SI1 (2A) limits the current to 2A.

Error indication (external LED):

The signal MERR1 indicates that the controller has turned off the motor. This could be caused by an over
temperature or over current condition. A restart of the motors is only possible when over temperature or
over current parameter is reset.
The signal runs from ST2/8 through resistor R1 to ST3/4. The LED is located inside the housing of the
rotation motor.

4.10 Laser on Image Intensifier (II)

The two II lasers only need +5V supply. This supply is switched on/off by B380. This activated current
leaves B380 on X335/3 pin 16, enters B335 on X3 pin 16 and leaves it directly on X6 pin 2 to B336 ST1
pin 2. On B336, the signal is divided for both lasers and leaves on ST2 pin1 for Laser 1 and ST3 pin1 for
Laser 2.

To use the II laser, it must be enabled in the software. (Setup / Service Menu / FS Setup Page / Options)

This is an optional part. There are two different versions available :
DAP without Laser
DAP with Laser
An existing machine can also be upgraded to DAP. Please use the Update kits (see spare part list) to do
this.
The DAP unit is connected via a 4-wire connection to the B356 board. Pin 1 is ground and pin 2 is +15V
for the power supply. Pin 3 and 4 are the RS422 interface. This will transfer the measured value to the

microprocessor on the B356 board.

On Pin 15 of the microprocessor, U302A sends a low signal while turning on the item. In this case CT301
is not active and the internal LED of Q300 is lightning. In this case, the contact of Q300 is closed and the
DAP unit performs a self test. The result from the self test is pulses on the RS422 lines. If the DAP unit is
correctly installed software-wise, and the hardware is working properly, you will get the following
message on the user interface while starting the system: “DAP V xx” (next to the last X-Ray date/time).
If the DAP option is installed, the different DAP functions are available. For example, the dose
accumulated in every picture on the main monitor.

4.14 Printer
The Printer gets the necessary video signal from the IPC1000 S-VHS output. This signal enters the ST1
B118 board. This board boosts and splits the signal.. The printer is connected to ST2.
When you press “print” this will create a signal PRTOUT on B380. This signal leaves B380 on X386/1 Pin
16 and enters B386 X380/1 pin 16. On B386 it just goes through to X4 pin 5 and from this point directly
to the printer. This printer answers with –BUSY. This signal enters B386 X4 on pin4 and goes directly
through via X380/1 pin 15 to B380 X386/1 pin 15.

4.15 Software
During every boot-up, the version control module checks the SW revisions for each module.
If a module has a wrong SW REV, a warning message will be displayed and a SW update should be
performed.

5.3.3 Half Value layer Measurement Procedure

Remark: HVL (Half value layer) test must be performed after every replacement of FRU in the
beam

CAUTION: This procedure requires you to make X-Ray exposures. Take proper precautions to
protect yourself and others.

5.3.3.1 Tools & Test equipment

• Standard service tools
• Dosimeter
• Aluminum filters for example p/n 00-480917-01
as specified in 21 CFR 1020.30 (b) (3)

5.3.3.2 HVL Setup

1. Position the C-Arm with the X-Ray Tube up and the Image Intensifier down.
2. Set up the dosimeter to measure dose.
3. Set the system to 110 kV and 3 mA in Manual Technique mode (Normal Fluoro, 110kV)
4. Using the mounting bracket and stand provided with the meter, mount the ion chamber 30 cm
+/- 1 cm from the Image Intensifier.
5. Fluoro and center the ion chamber as viewed on the workstation monitor.

5.3.3.3 HVL Measurement Procedure

1. With no aluminum (0mm) filters in the path of the beam, take a shot. Let the dose on the
Dosimeter stabilize for a few seconds.
2. Record the (0mm) dose reading
3. Divide the dose reading by 2 and record the ½ dose
4. Add aluminum filters until the ½ dosage is reached:

98 of 386
5.3 Generator Maxiplus 3000 B352/B356 5 Image System Calibration

a. Add filters, 1.0 mm at a time, into the path of the beam (On the x-ray tube port) After each filter
is added, take a shot, let the dose on the Dosimeter stabilize for a few seconds, and note the
dose.
b. Continue to add filters1.0 mm or 0.1 mm at a time. After each additional filter is added, take a
shot, let the dose on the Dosimeter stabilize for a few seconds, and note the dose.
5. When the dosage reaches the ½ dose value calculated in step 3 record the total thickness of
filters placed in the path of the beam
(This is the systems “Half Value)

Entrance exposure is measured 30 cm above the surface of the Image Intensifier in the center of the X-
ray beam. This measurement is used to represent the average thickness of patient anatomy. Refer to
the Service Manual for directions on performing the Entrance Exposure calibration.
WARNING This procedure produces X-rays. Take appropriate precautions to protect
yourself and others from unnecessary exposure.

Hint: To make reinstalling the new power supply easier, it is very helpful to mark all cables including their
numbers. This way it is easier to trace where all the cables were connected.
• To reinstall the new power supply follow the steps above in reverse order.
• Final verification and test
o Using a voltmeter, check the mother board battery ( if not close to 3V, replace it)
(see also 6.3.6.1IPC1000 – change BIOS Battery)
o Reinstall IPC cover and reinstall IPC and all its cables
o Start the system and verify it boots and runs correctly

8.3 Laser II 8 Upgrades

Caution: this adjustment must be done very carefully, since this has critical influence on the
exactness of the Laser crosshairs in every height.

2. Fix the laser with the outer and the inner screw without using force.
3. Place the coin in the center of the X-ray crosshairs.
4. The height should be chosen to be as close as possible to the generator side (when in
hospital use: patient table).
5. Make an X-ray exposure and position the machine so that the coin is exactly in the crosshair
center on monitor A.
6. Now adjust now the crosshairs of the lasers on the actual coin so that they exactly match
those on the monitor. Use the left and right screws for this adjustment. If necessary, open one
screw and tighten the other until the target is exactly in the center.

Figure 271 Laser II upgrade: adjustment

7. Now change the height so that the coin is in the middle between generator and II.
8. Make an X-ray exposure and position the machine so that the coin is exactly in the crosshair
center on monitor A.
9. Check if the laser crosshairs are still on the center of the actual coin. If not, the angle
adjustment was not exact enough. In this case, repeat the angle adjustment
10. Mount the new II safety cover (with two windows for the Laser). Assemble it in such a way that the
windows are exactly above the two lasers.

8.3.4 System checks

After installing following tests must be done:

 Check dose rate (refer to

Remarks: Because of different monitor manufactures the monitor have different input
connectors : VGA standard (15 pin) or DVI (analog used only). You can use both
monitor types, but may be you need a VGA/DVI adapter
For easy fault searching you can change “VGA in A” with “VGA in B” on B392 or “VGA OUT A” with “VGA
OUT B” or also RJ45 Output/Input on B392/B391.
You can also use a standard VGA cable to connect one monitor direct to the IPC VGA outputs (example
