5.1 Operating modes

With the operating panel keys, 1 - 6 (see ) the examination devices with the associated tubes
can be selected.
This following arrangement is a suggestion that can be modified during commissioning of the
installation. It is also possible to connect film changers and digital image processing with
programmed exposure values and incremental shifting.
no key selected : Over table exposure
Key 1 selected : Bucky table
Key 2 selected : Bucky wall stand
Key 3 selected : Tomography unit
Key 4 selected : Examination device, classic
Key 5 selected : Examination device, remote controlled
Key 6 selected : Special device

5.1.1 Exposure functions

5.1.1.1 General
Various exposure techniques can be selected:

• With automatic exposure control

1-point technique: selection of the Tube voltage
2-point technique: selection of the Tube voltage and mAs-product
3-point technique: selection of the Tube voltage, tube current and circuit
time

• Open technique without automatic exposure control

2-point technique: selection of the Tube voltage and mAs-product
3-point technique: selection of the Tube voltage, tube current and circuit
time

• Organ memory

• With respective setting during the commissioning:

X-ray Generator EDITOR MP 0522 8041F-en_V5xx.doc

Operating Instructions Page 12 of 39
WARNING
Ionising radiation
Exposures may only be taken from behind protected areas!

There are two methods for initiating the exposure:

1. Panel keys (32, 33, see Figure 8-1)
2. Manual keys

Both keys have two steps. The first step introduces the preparation, the second step initiates
the radiation.
Note: The radiation can only be initiated when the generator has successfully processed all
internal confirmation prompts.

5.1.2 Fluoroscopy

For the fluoroscopy, the following operating modes can be set during the installation:
• Fluoroscopy with 4 selectable mA-increments
• Fluoroscopy with only one constant mA-increment
• Fluoroscopy with a current dependant upon the preset voltage.

The dose rate in the last of the aforementioned modes achieves very high dynamics (>1000)
through the type of the connection of tube voltage and tube current. The tube current
proportionally follows the tube voltage between a lower value and an upper value. At further
increases of the tube voltage, the tube current remains at its maximum value. The control
curve of the tube current with respect to the tube voltage is displayed in Figure 5-1 for the
normal range as well as the range with increased dose with the factory set default values.
The lower point and the upper point of the control straights can be varied during the
installation. In the normal dosage range the values are set as standard at (40 kV, 0,5 mA)
and (80 kV, 5 mA), and for the range with increased dose (40 kV, 1 mA) and (80 kV, 10 mA).
The irradiation of the patient with increased dose can be switched on for a restricted time
(default is 20 s), if this is necessary for the picture quality. The duration for irradiation with
increased dose can be adjusted by the service technician during commissioning, see also
Service Handbook.

COMMENT:
Legal regulations concerning irradiation with increased dose must be heeded.

5.1.2.1 Automatic Exposure Control

As an option, an automatic exposure control can be supplied that processes the signals of up
to 4 measuring chambers. The tuning of the automatic exposures takes place during
commissioning as per the instructions in the Service Manual. Three different film-screen-
systems can be accommodated.
The adjustment of the automatic exposure control must be repeated anew, if circumstances
have altered that influence the film development (film manufacturer has changed,
development process altered, etc.).
The density of radiograph can be influenced in ±4 increments, whereby each increment of an
alteration corresponds to one exposure point.
An acoustic signal and a warning lamp (LED in key No. 15) shows a malfunction. Such a
malfunction can be caused by
Selection of an incorrect examination unit
Preselected mAs-product in 2-point technique too small
Preselected time in 3-point technique too short
Technical malfunction

X-ray Generator EDITOR MP 0522 8041F-en_V5xx.doc

Operating Instructions Page 14 of 39
5.2 Area dose meter
An area dose meter is available, which can be built in as an option. The area dose product is
measured during fluoroscopy as well as during exposure. By pressing the key No. 159 "i" the
measured value is shown in mGycm2 in the display. The data can be transmitted using a
serial interface (e.g. to an optional printer) with date and time.

5.3 Starter
The generator is equipped with a low speed starter in the standard configuration.
Alternatively, a high speed starter can be attached.

5.4 RS-Interfaces
Two RS232 interfaces are available. Using the interface on the control panel a service
technician can transfer organ names to the panel, which are then available for the organ
automation.
The (non-personalized) X-ray data, accrued in the course of an examination, can be
transmitted by means of the second interface on the generator over to a DP3840 STAR
printer. The following is transmitted:
• Date, time
• Surface dose product in mGycm²
• Number of exposures
• Fluoroscopy time

technique to 3-point technique

The selected operating mode can be recognized in the display:

1-point technique: Display of the tube voltage (kV) in the line R: (can only be selected when
using automatic exposure). The tube voltage can changed with the keys
40/41 (see below).
2-point technique: Display of the tube voltage (kV) and the mAs-product in the line “R:" The
tube voltage and the mAs-product can changed with the keys 40/41,
alternatively. 42/43.
COMMENT: If in this mode the automatic exposure control has been alternatively
switched on, then a higher mAs-product should be preselected,
compared to what was originally expected for the exposure. Thus the
automatic exposure control has the necessary latitude to enable the
exposure to be ended at the right moment.
3-point technique: Display of the tube voltage (kV), the tube current (mA) and the circuit
time (ms) or tube voltage (kV) and the mAs-product in the line R:. The
tube voltage, the tube current and the circuit time can changed with the
keys 40/41, 44/45, alternatively. 46/47.
COMMENT: If in this mode the automatic exposure control has been alternatively
switched on, then a longer circuit time should be preselected, compared
to what was originally expected for the exposure. Thus the automatic
exposure has the necessary latitude to enable the exposure to be ended
at the right moment.

6.6 Changing the exposure parameters, keys 40 - 47

The keys for changing the X-ray parameters are arranged directly below the display. Valid for
all parameter selection keys are: short jogging of the key changes the displayed value by one

6.7.1 Activation
The automatic exposure control is activated, when a measuring field is selected. The
combination of several measuring fields is possible. The chosen measuring field is displayed
by a glowing LED.
If the automatic exposure control is activated, there appears in line "R:" additional information
with respect to the selected density correction and the film-screen-system.
If exposures are controlled by way of the automatic exposure control, then, in 2- and 3-point
technique, the exposure parameters mAs-product, alternatively circuit time should be set to
larger than expected in order to give the automatic exposure the necessary latitude to switch
off the exposure.

2nd Step: exposure ON

If the manual switch is released during the exposure, then the exposure is immediately
interrupted (dead man's switch).

In normal operating mode the exposure is stopped when

• the preset mAs-product is reached,
• the preset circuit time is reached,
• the automatic exposure control switches off,
• the maximum of the mAs-product is reached.

In exposure mode the exposure is immediately stopped when the operator

• releases the panel switch,
• releases the manual switch.

In malfunction situations the exposure is immediately stopped when

• the automatic exposure control determines that there is an excess or a falling
short of the dosage input power
• the maximum circuit time of the generator (6s) is reached (safety cut-off
switch).

6.10 Working with organ memory, keys 170 - 179, 159, 160

With the organ automation it is possible to store in the memory 100 settings (memory
00 - 99) for individual organs. When switching on the generator, the first organ of an
organ group can be set in each case as the start value.
With help of a PC, texts can be transferred for organ names; see Service Manual for
more information. The invoked parameters for the exposure can be adapted, in each
case, to the examination situation and the patient.

The entire expired fluoroscopy time is displayed in the line "F: " in minutes and seconds
during the examination. If 5 minutes irradiation time is reached, an acoustic warning signal is
heard and the LED in key 64 shines. After 10 minutes, the irradiation automatically switches
off if key No. 64 has not been acknowledged/cleared. Then, the foot switch must be opened
and the key actuated before the irradiation is again enabled.
Actuating key No. 64 before the end of the 10 minutes resets the monitoring timer. During the
further course of the examination, a WARNING is generated every 5 minutes. It always
necessitates an acknowledgement/clearing.

7.1 Acoustic signals

With the built-in buzzer, the user is informed of special conditions of the installation:
• a short sound signalises the end of an X-ray exposure.
(or a long sound during X-ray exposure (programmable during installation))
• fluoroscopy with increased dose generates a continuous sound
• transgression of 5 minutes fluoroscopy duration generates a continuous
sound.
• "Faulty exposure " during use of AEC generates a continuous sound.

7.2 Optical signals

The following optical signals are used:
• with switched on irradiation the irradiation display shines on the panel.
• during faulty exposure, the red LED in key No. 15 shines.
• the other keys have green LEDs which display the activation condition.

7.3 Malfunction messages

If a malfunction occurs, please observe/heed the instructions exactly. Never open up the
device.

8 Maintenance

8.1 Cleaning

Don't use any abrasive cleaners, organic solvents or solvent-containing detergents.

Turn off the generator before you begin with the cleaning.

Clean the generator with a damp cloth.

Ensure that no liquids can get into the generator. Short circuits can result. Do not use spray
on the X-ray generator.

8.2 Disinfection

The methods used for disinfection must correspond to legal regulations and guidelines
(disinfection, explosion protection).

COMMENT:

If disinfectants have been used, which could generate explosive gas mixtures,
then the generator may only be switched on when these have dissipated.

Turn off the generator.

Only subject the generator and the connected panels to a disinfection by wiping.

Disinfection sprays may not be applied because the atomised spray can penetrate the
insides of the device.

If a room disinfection is carried out using atomised spray, then the generator must cooled
down and carefully covered with foil.

8.3 Service

COMMENT:
Legally stipulated examinations must be executed within the required time
intervals.

A safety-related check-up should take place using qualified service personnel at least once
per year. Whereby the following maintenance and check-up work should be carried out on
the occasion:

• Visual check for recognizable damage, defects or wear:

Damaged or worn parts must be exchanged.

• Examination of the monitoring devices:

monitoring timer for fluoroscopy
monitoring timer for fluoroscopy with increased dosage
monitoring timer for exposure with and without automatic exposure

• Functional capability of the display, message, and warning facilities:

Display, irradiation display, acoustic signals

• Examination of the dose rate regulation

• Examination the irradiation consistency and linearity:

if deviations occur, check-up of the tube adaptation

• Examination of the picture quality

• Examination of the suppression of the irradiation field (depth aperture)

• Clean and lubricate high voltage plug on the tubes and on the transformer

The examination results must be properly recorded.
