3 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
3.1 SOFTWARE BLOCK DIAGRAM

PROGRAM VERSION 7.30 - See Section 7.23
3.2 KEYBOARD FUNCTIONS
3.2.1 Main modes (nor-, SER- and Pr -mode)

Exposure and other functions are possible only in main modes: nor and, SEr
mode. When the power is switched on to the device, the program is in
nor(=user)-mode, which functions as explained in this manual. In
SEr(=service)-mode certain checks like the presence of the cassette holder,
cassette, and diaphragm are bypassed so that service personnel can test the
device without any delays. In service mode the kV and mAs display shows the
AEC integration time in ms. If the AUTOREL button is pressed the timer
display shows the exposure time and the kV display shows the kV (Normally
timer display shows SEr).
NOTE! A cooling time of 5 to 55 sec. between exposure is implemented also in the

service mode. This will protect the unit from not being overloaded during
testing.

3.2.2 Program (Pr) mode

This mode can be entered from nor- and SEr-mode. Usually this is done when
the unit is installed to adjust exposure parameters to the conditions at the site.
The preset kV can be programmed in semi AEC mode from 23 to 35 kV for
bucky and cassette tunnel, and 25-35 for magnification. The film/screen
combinations (FI) are:
mAs-display film cassette/screen

3.2.3.4 Integrated Quality Control History

In the program #63 iqc, 20 latest IQC correction coefficients can be seen.
Scroll with kV+ or kV- . The kV display shows the reference number and the
mAs display shows the coefficient. IQC-coefficient is calculated from a
formula:
New IQC-coefficient = Old IQC-coefficient * (Wanted optical

density/measured optical density)
Wanted optical density is defined in the program #64 AEC parameter d. In

IQC mode the filter change is not allowed. Filter selection is made in the
program #52 SUP parameter F (If F=2 then iqc used filter is molybdenum).
The allowed change of the coefficient is ±40%, except Germany where ±25%.
If the change is bigger a C.PS error code is seen.

3.2.3.5 AEC adjustment parameters

Functional description of AEC full automatic mode
The initial kV is automatically selected based on the compressed breast

thickness. In the beginning of the exposure the first estimation of the exposure
time at initial kV is made by measuring the radiation coming through the
breast. Based on this, the kV is automatically changed up or down, if
necessary, to meet the target time. If the kV is changed, a second estimation
of the exposure time at this kV is made by measuring the radiation and the kV
is automatically changed again, if necessary, to meet the target time. After
the exposure the final kV is displayed.
The Auto kV performance can be optimized and configured according to the

user preferences. The configurable items are the initial kV (initial kV versus
breast thickness table), amount of allowable kV change (Max kV change in
Pr-mode, enter from normal mode with Den+/Den- 3sec.) and desired exposure
time range (target time). In program #64 AEC, parameter I determines the
min/max values for target time. The target time is setup in program # 65 tAr
by giving two thicknesses and the respective desired exposure times. The
target times for other thicknesses are calculated with linear estimation. The
system selects the kV so that the desired target time can be reached. The
maximum allowable kV-change is more limiting, however, and thus a different
exposure time than the target time may result.
Thickness compensation adjustment
Software versions 7.27 and greater utilize a thickness compensation method

which compensates for variations in optical density (O.D) of the film.
The rotation point can be programmed. The amount of rotation and
compensation curve slopes below and above the rotation point can be
programmed separately.
Rotation point P
Rotation point is the exposure time where the O.D is adjusted correctly.
Thickness compensation is achieved by altering the exposure time around this
point. Default value is 1.00.
Amount of rotation r1 and r2
Parameters r1 and r2 determine the amount of compensation with exposure

times shorter or longer than the rotation point respectively. r1 determines the
amount of compensation at the point where exposure time is half the rotation
point. r2 determines the amount of compensation at exposure time twice the
rotation point.
The values of r1 and r2 can vary from 0.70 to 1.30. If the parameter is 1.30 it
means that exposure times are increased by 30%. If the parameter is 0.80 it
means that the exposure times are decreased by 20% etc. Default values are 1.0
for both.
31687 3-11 October 2002

Compensation curve slope parameters S1 and S2
Parameters S1 and S2 determine the curve slope for exposure times shorter or
longer than the rotation point respectively. S1 determines the slope at the point
where exposure time is lower than the rotation point. S2 determines the
amount of compensation at exposure time higher than the rotation point. Refer
to the curves below for effects of the S parameters. The rotation point is 1.0
seconds and the amount of rotation (r1 and r2) is 0.8, 0.9, 1.1 or 1.2 (= 80%,
90%, 110%, 120%). Default values are 200 for both.
Compensation curve slope parameters S1 and S2
Parameters S1 and S2 determine the curve slope for exposure times shorter or
longer than the rotation point respectively. S1 determines the slope at the
point where exposure time is lower than the rotation point. S2 determines the
amount of compensation at exposure time higher than the rotation point. Refer
to the curves below for effects of the S parameters. The rotation point is 1.0
seconds and the amount of rotation (r1 and r2) is 0.8, 0.9, 1.1 or 1.2 (= 80%,

3.3 USING THE SERIAL PORT IN FOR COMMUNICATION
3.3.1 The Cable

For the cable, there are two options because there are two ways to connect a
serial port of a PC. Some older models of personal computers use a 25-pin
D-connector for serial communications while normally 9-pin connector is
used. The cable for both options is illustrated below:
Alpha/Performa
Alpha/Performa
Choose either the 9-pin or pin 25-pin version.
To see that the communication works properly, you might want to add a pair of
LED's between GND and both data lines. This can be done with two 1000 ohm
resistors connected in series with the LEDs. The direction of leds is not
important because both (input and output) channels have voltage levels from
-12 to +12 volt.
31687 3-15 October 2002

3.3.2 Communication protocol

The serial connection is an ordinary asynchronous receiver/transmitter.
The serial port is initialized in Performa, ALPHA III/ST/RT/IQ as follows:
1200 baud (9600 baud with 5.09 software and if Dataview is connected)
8 data bits
no parity (always 0)
1 stop bit
The effect of the 'no parity bit' and the stop bit is a total of two stop bits, so
receiving end must be configured correspondingly. The data byte looks the
following:
START 8-BIT DATA 2 STOP
The data can be received with a communications program (for example

Procomm) to PC and be printed afterwards on paper. This might be more
convenient than a printer with RS 2 because it is not a standard equipment.
3.3.3 Data formats

Performa, ALPHA III/ST/RT/IQ can send two different groups of data:
1) Diagnostic information about the system, like serial number, exposure

parameters and number of error situations. This information can be sent
to serial channel by pressing AEXP in the diA/inf-mode. This is meant
to be sent to either PC or printer. An example of this data is displayed
on the next page:

3.4 THEORY OF OPERATIONS
3.4.1 Process controller
3.4.1.1 The CPU BOARD

The CPU board is the heart of Performa, ALPHA III/ST/RT/IQ. It controls
every function in the unit, except the ROTATIONAL BRAKE. The 8031
microprocessor on the CPU board controls kV GENERATION ,mA
GENERATION (via the FILAMENT CONTROL board) and the rest of the
functions through latches and buffers directly and uses a keyboard controller
(8279) to handle the control panel..
The I/O-control (latches and buffers) controls the vertical drive motor,
compression motor, bucky, anode motor, foot switches, microswitch reading,
and the AEC. The 8279 reads and decodes the control panel switches, as well
as drives the control panel display.
Exposure times in both manual and AEC mode are calculated and controlled
by software and the microprocessor.

3.4.2 User interface
3.4.2.1 Switch and microswitch reading

The control panel switches on the PERFORMA, ALPHA III/ST/RT/IQ are
configured in a row/column matrix (fig. 3.1) that is strobed and read by the
CPU board. D15 on the CPU board is an 8279, which is a keyboard controller.
It will strobe each column looking for a return on one of the rows, which it will
only find when a switch is pressed. For example, if the circled switch is closed,
the resulting timing chart will be as given in fig. 3.2.
S0 S1 S2 S7 S0
S1
R0 S2
S3
R1 S4
S5
R2 S6
S7
R0
R1
R2
R7 R3
This will let the CPU know that the switch S2/R0 is pressed. The software
defines that the switch is the kV-button and decreases the kVref on the PULSE
board.
The hand switch (exposure button) signal is fed through the CPU board to the
pulse board where it becomes an enable for the exposure circuitry before it is
fed back to the CPU board as signal EXP2 on connector X5 pin 9. This allows
the operator to stop the exposure in the event of a CPU board malfunction.
3.4.2.2 Collimator lamp operation

When the COMPRESSION DOWN switch is activated, in addition to the CPU
turning on the compression motor, it also sends a signal called PROJ RELAY,
and starts a software timer. The PROJ RELAY signal is fed to the SUPPLY
board where it activates relay K1 turning on the collimator lamp. The lamp is
shut off when the timer runs out ( about 8 sec.) or the hand switch is pressed
and the exposure sequence is started.

3.4.2.3 Cassette sensing CASOPTO BOARD

Cassette sensing is accomplished by using two (one in optipoint) optical
sensors (fig. 3.3). Each sensor has two halves, an infrared source and an
infrared detector.
Figure 3.3. Cassette sensing
The cassette bottom forms the reflective surface needed. There is a green LED
which comes on to indicate that the cassette is being sensed and the CASNOR-
signal is sent to the CPU.
3.4.2.4 Cassette holder sensing CSENSE BOARD

The cassette holder sensor has four reed relays in it, three of them (CHL,CHR
and K4) are used to decode cassette holders for the CPU. The fourth read relay
(CHON) ensures the cassette holder is completely attached. The identification
is done with magnets attached to the holders.

level is digitally set by the CPU board.
The Inverter Board contains a high voltage and a low voltage section. The high
voltage section is isolated from the low voltage section with pulse transformers
TF1, TF2 and relays K1,K2.
WARNING! Voltages in the high voltage part of the INVERTER Board are deadly.
The peak to peak voltage exceeds 700V in normal operation.
High voltage section:
The high voltage section consists of a MOSFET transistor H-bridge which

converts the rectified line voltage (+310 VDC) into high frequency current.
This current is taken to the HIGH VOLTAGE UNIT where it is transformed
into high voltage. The inductors L1, L2 and capacitor C8 act as parts of
resonant circuit which shapes the bridge current. The RMS value of the
current is controlled by the H-bridge's operating frequency. The MOSFET
driving pulses are generated at the low voltage section of the board and are
provided by the pulse transformers TF1 and TF2.
TF3 is a current transformer which monitors the bridge current. If the bridge
current exceeds the pre-adjusted current limit the control circuit in the low
voltage section turns the MOSFETs off.
Timing:
The line voltage is applied through the connector X1. When an exposure is
initiated, relays K1 and K2 provide the rest of the board with line voltage.
Relays K1 and K2 are activated with signals RG1 and RG2 respectively. K1
applies voltage to the bridge rectifier D3 through the current limiting resistor
R1 which allows controlled charging of the energy storage capacitor
(connected to X2). K2 is activated approximately 0.8 seconds later and
provides the circuit with full power. Finally, the activation of the EXPENA
signal (TP17) enables the H-bridge drive circuitry.
Low voltage section:
kV control:
The high voltage is regulated by adjusting the H-bridge's operating frequency.
This is done by comparing the feedback signal (HVFB) from the high voltage
unit with the reference from the CPU BOARD and taking the error signal to
the frequency modulator circuit (ICA1, ICA4, ICD1, ICD2). The output is
taken to ICA5 and ICA6 which drive the pulse transformers TF1 and TF2.
October 2002 3-24 31687

EXPENA signal:
An exposure is initiated by the CPU BOARD by activation of the EXPENA
signal. This enables pulse transformer drivers (ICA5, ICA6) and allows the
kV reference signal to rise providing "soft start".
TUBEFAIL signal:
TUBEFAIL signal is activated if the kVFB signal does not reach the kV
reference. This typically occurs during a high voltage breakdown. A
SHUTDOWN for the kV control is provided. As the high voltage breakdown
is characteristic to x-ray tubes, and hence may occur during normal operation,
the exposure is continued with a new activation of the EXPENA signal. The
CPU Board allows three (3) tube failures per exposure before an error
message (E02) is displayed.
Test Switch:
Test switch S1 allows an exposure sequence to continue regardless of the
kVFB signal. In "TEST" position the TUBEFAIL signal is forced down .
Note! The Test Switch S1 should always be at "NORMAL" position whenever

the high voltage part of the INVERTER BOARD is energized. Failing to
do this may damage the INVERTER BOARD, HIGH VOLTAGE UNIT
and the X-RAY TUBE.
An exposure without X-rays:

It is possible to check the operation of kV control circuitry without X-rays.
1. Unplug the connector X1

2. Set the test switch S1 to "TEST" position
3 Unplug the connector X4 on the FILAMENT CONTROL Board
4. Set the test switch on FILAMENT CONTROL Board to "TEST"
position
5. Set the jumper X8 ("FBSEL") on the FILAMENT CONTROL
Board to position 1-2 (left hand position)
6. Initiate the exposure
The control circuitry is driving the MOSFETS with the minimum frequency
(app. 20kHz).
Back Up Timer:
The Back Up Timer is located on the FILAMENT CONTROL BOARD and it
disables both the +34REL voltage and the EXPENA signal providing a
SHUTDOWN approximately fifteen (15) seconds after the activation of the
EXPENA signal. This is a safety feature only and does not affect normal
operation.
31687 3-25 October 2002

kV reference:
The level of the used kV is set by the CPU BOARD with signals DATA0 -
DATA7. This 8 bit digital word contains the kV reference . The kV reference
is converted into an analog signal in D/A converter ICA2 (TP24).
The analog kV reference (TP24) and the kV feedback (TP22) signals

correspond to actual kV as follows: kV = DVM read-out * 10 kV
For example, if the digital multimeter (DVM) read-out is 2.5 V the actual high
voltage is 25kV.
kV adjustment:
The calibration of the kV is done by adjusting the D/A converter's (ICA2)
reference voltage with trimmer potentiometer R63.
Note! The kV calibration is performed at the factory. The trimmer

potentiometer R63 is sealed . Manipulation of the potentiometer can be
carried out by authorized personnel only. Improper settings of the
potentiometer can damage the INVERTER BOARD, HIGH VOLTAGE
UNIT and the X-RAY TUBE
External indicators:
Connector X6 provides relay contacts for X-ray system status indication. X6
pins 1 and 2 are short circuited when the unit is on. X6 pins 3 and 4 are short
circuited when X-rays are being generated. The contacts are rated for 5A,
24VDC /240VAC.
Fuses:
High Voltage fuse in the INVERTER BOARD (F1) is to protect the board in
case of a short circuit.

3.4.3.2 The high voltage unit

In the secondary of the high voltage transformer, there is a voltage doubler. As
one half of the inverter is conducting, secondary current flows through one set
of diodes, charging one of the 1.2 nF capacitors in the tank. When the other
half is conducting, the current flows through the other set of diodes and
charges the other 1.2 nF capacitor. Since the capacitors are connected in series,
the voltage across the capacitors is double the voltage of secondary. There is a
450 Mohm resistor connected to the high voltage output forming the upper leg
of the voltage division. On the Inverter board is the lower leg over which the
control circuit measures the voltage. The modulator compares this voltage to
that of a reference and changes the output frequency, if necessary, to maintain
the proper kV.
The output of the hV-unit is directly connected to the anode of the tube with a
high voltage cable. The unit also contains a rubber bottle because of the
expansion of oil volume due to rising temperature.
31687 3-27 October 2002

3.4.3.3 mA generation timing

mA generation timing is controlled with four signals: FOCUS, PREHEAT,
PREH and EXT. FOCUS is a latch output which changes state depending on
whether the mag-box (small focal spot) or either the bucky or cassette tunnel
(large focal spot) is attached to the machine. It selects which mA feedback
resistor is used on the FILAMENT CONTROL board and which filament is
energized. PREHEAT becomes active 55 milliseconds after the hand switch is
depressed. It powers relay K2 on the FILAMENT CONTROL board and
supplies power to the filament transformer TR1. During the time between
PREHEAT and EXT, the pulse width modulator (ICA8) uses filament voltage
as its feedback voltage. The feedback voltage is gain is controlled with
trimmer potentiometers R28 and R96 to achieve proper tube current rise at the
beginning of an exposure. (See PREHEAT ADJUSTMENT in the Adjustments
& Alignments Section).
When EXT goes active, actual exposure begins. We are now no longer
interested in filament voltage; now, we must regulate tube current. To
accomplish this, the common of the filaments is connected to ground through
one of the feedback resistors (R77 or R78) on the FILAMENT board. This
signal called mA FEEDBACK (MAFB) is now fed to the pulse width
modulator by the analog switch (ICA10). Its output was switched from
filament voltage to MAFB with the signal PREH. The PREH signal is
activated approximately 7 ms after the EXT signal. The duty cycle of the
pulse width will vary depending on what is required to maintain proper mA.
3.4.3.4 FILAMENT CONTROL BOARD

The CPU board begins the mA generation cycle when it sees the EXP2 signal
from the FILAMENT CONTROL Board. The EXP2 is activated from the
exposure button. The control of the mA and kV are handled through the serial
to parallel converter / latch (ICD3). The latch is configured to have four major
functions:
1. Control/Timing
2. Serial output back to the CPU board
3. kV reference
4. mA reference
kV reference
The kV reference is converted into eight (8) parallel DATA bits which contain
the kV reference information for the INVERTER BOARD. The kV reference
occupies ICD3 pins 23 through 30.
mA reference
The mA reference is converted into eight (8) parallel DATA bits which contain
the mA reference information. The mA reference occupies ICD3 pins 11
through 18.
October 2002 3-28 31687

mA control:
The mA control adjusts the X-ray tube's filament heating level to provide the
desired tube current (mA). This is done by regulating the filament voltage
with "FLYBACK" type pulse width modulated switch mode power supply (T1,
T2, TR1, D6, C12, ICA8). The control circuitry utilizes current mode control
which provides better stabilization and protects the semiconductor switches
against over current.
The operation consists of two consecutive sequences: the preheat sequence and
normal mA control sequence. The preheat sequence is used for heating of the
filament to the desired level prior to the exposure, in order to achieve optimum
mA rise at the start up. During the preheat sequence the control feedback
comes from the filament voltage, and during an exposure the mAFB signal is
used, providing the actual tube current monitoring.
Preheat adjustment:
The Preheat adjustment is done separately for large and small focus with
trimmer potentiometers R28 and R96 respectively. (See PREHEAT
ADJUSTMENT in the Adjustments & Alignments Section) The FOCUS
signal selects the corresponding trimmer with relay K3. During the preheat
adjustment measure the tube current from TP4.
EXT signal:
The EXT signal enables the kV generation.
FOCUS signal:
The FOCUS signal changes the mA feedback circuit according to the selected
X-ray tube focal spot size. It also changes the filament that is being powered.
When FOCUS signal is high (led H1) a small focus (0.1) is selected.
PREH signal:
The PREH signal changes the filament control mode from preheat to normal
exposure. The jumper X8 is used to disable the PREH signal during testing.
PREHREL signal:
A preheat sequence is initiated before each exposure (before activation of the
EXT signal) with the PREHREL signal. This activates the relay K2, providing
+34V input voltage for the filament power supply and the INVERTER
BOARD. The PREHREL signal enables the mA control circuit also.
mA feedback:
Feedback voltage to the filament power supply controller ICA8 is selected
with the analog switches ICA10. The source depends on the control signal
EXT as follows:
STATUS EXT (TP8) FEEDBACK SOURCE

preheat sequence passive (0V) Filament voltage
normal exposure active (+15V) mA feedback
stand by passive (0V) Filament voltage
31687 3-29 October 2002

Jumper X8:
The jumper X8 is used for keeping the filament control in preheat mode during
the whole exposure. This is intended for testing purposes only. The jumper
should normally short circuit pins 2 and 3 (right hand position) Note: Always
remember to leave the jumper in the right hand position after servicing the
unit.
mACHK signal
Comparator ICA6 monitors the mA feedback signal and activates the mAOk
signal when mA is present.
Buzzer
Buzzer (BZ1) is activated with signal RG2. It indicates that X-rays are being
generated. (Note: The buzzer is activated during an exposure without X-rays
also; see section 3.4.3.1:Timing)
C-arm angle measurement

The c-arm angle measurement is done with a potentiometer in the c-arm brake
assembly. The potentiometer gives a voltage proportional to the angle. This
voltage is taken to the 12 bit, serial mode analog to digital converter ICA12.
The control signals and data signal comes from the CPU board to connector
X12.
FB MISS signal
The FB MISS signal is activated if the feedback cable is not connected. This is
to protect the high voltage transformer in case the feedback connector is
accidentally left open. Activation of this signal disables the EXP2 signal to the
CPU board. This feature requires that the unit has cabling that short circuits
pins 1 and 2 in X4. If the unit does not have that kind of cabling you can use
the board if you install a jumper connector X11 that grounds the pin 2.
Back Up Timer:
The Back Up Timer disables both the K2 and the EXPENA signal for the
INVERTER Board providing a SHUTDOWN approximately fifteen (15)
seconds after the activation of the EXT signal. This is a safety feature only and
does not affect normal operation.
Test Switch:
The test switch S1 allows an exposure sequence to continue regardless of the
mAOK' signal which indicates that tube current is present.
X-ray tube bias

The filament is biased by having the tube current going trough a bias resistor (
0, 220 or 300 ohms).The value of the resistor is determined at the factory
separately for each tube and should therefore not be changed or modified.
October 2002 3-30 31687

Supply voltages:
The +15 V supply voltage is regulated from the +34 V with switching
regulator ICA11, and the -15 V is regulated from the -34V with linear
regulator ICA9.

3.4.3.5 Anode motor drive AMD BOARD

The unit utilizes a rotating anode tube. The anode plate is accelerated with 230
VAC before the emission of electrons from cathode. During exposure, stator
needs a certain running voltage (40-100 VAC), and after exposure the anode
plate can be braked.
All this is done with the phase control of a triac (V1). The control element is
Telefunken TEA1007 (A7). Acceleration is achieved directly with mains
voltage. During exposure, the firing angle of the triac is set to a level that
corresponds the required RMS voltage. Braking is done by half wave rectified
mains voltage. Acceleration and braking times are approx. 1 second. Safety
features are also taken into account by monitoring the current of the triac.
Should errors be detected, the microprocessor does not allow exposures. The
exchange of information between the microprocessor and this board is
optoisolated because the anode motor drive board is floating on mains voltage.
3.4.3.6 Mains transformer

The power and control side of the unit uses only one 50/60 Hz transformer. It
is a two slot 120 VA EI transformer. The first slot contains primary 220 V and
secondary 15 V for the protection circuit of the power transistors ( this is done
because the protection circuit is floating on mains voltage ), the second slot
contains the actual secondary 2 x 24 V for AUX POWER. A grounded static
shield is situated between these slots.
3.4.3.7 Energy storage capacitor

The energy storage capacitor is used for smoothing the rectified mains voltage
fed to the POWER board. It is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor 2200 uF /
400 V with a 4K7 /11W bleeder resistor.
3.4.3.8 Motor phase shift capacitor

The motor phase shift capacitor is needed to rotate the anode plate. Its
capacitance is 40 uF / 450 V.
3.4.3.9 Tube housing assembly

Contains expansion systems and thermal switches and tube insert.
3.4.3.10 X-ray tube bias circuit (M101G)

The filament of the M101G X-ray tube is biased by having the tube current
going trough a bias resistor (0, 220 or 300 ohms).The value of the resistor is
determined at the factory separately for each tube and should therefore not be
changed or modified.

3.4.4 Motor control
3.4.4.1 Motor control - general

As you can see from the block diagram to the left, all interfacing between the
microprocessor and the motors is handled by 8255 peripheral controllers (D8
and D16) on the CPU board. The one exception to this is BHOME signal,
which goes directly to the 8031.
The microprocessor writes to and reads from the 8255 when its chip select (pin
6) is active. Information is transferred back and forth on the data bus. Because
of this, the outputs of the 8255 are the effective origin of the signals, and the
inputs to it are effectively the final destination of all the signals.
3.4.4.2 C&Z DRIVER BOARD

This board controls the compression and vertical drive motors (also called C-
and Z movements). It also provides regulated +24V dc-voltage to the bucky.
Both C- and Z- motors are +24V dc-motors which are driven with pulse width
modulated (PWM) power supplies that can provide variable voltage control
thus enabling a rough speed control. Each drive circuit consists of control
circuit and two power transistors. The output voltage consists of +34 Volt
pulses whose width determines the RMS voltage of the motor. This voltage is
proportional to the reference voltage applied to the control circuitry. The
operating frequency for both drives is app. 30kHz.
Carriage motor (Z-motor)

This is also called vertical drive motor. The vertical drive has two speeds.
The movement is started with slow speed that allows accurate positioning of
the carriage. After app. 2 seconds the faster speed is activated.
The CPU controls the vertical movement with two signals:
ZDIR signal:
This signal sets the status of the relay K3. It determines the polarity of Z-
motor voltage that is, the direction of the carriage.
ZRUN signal:
This signal activates the PWM circuit (ICA5) which applies voltage to the
motor. The RC circuit R60 and C21 determine the slow speed time interval.
Lower Limit, Upper Limit

These signals provide a way to limit the movement. When Lower/Upper Limit
signal is low only upwards/downwards direction is enabled. This is for future
purposes.
October 2002 3-34 31687

Compression motor (C-motor)

The compression motor has three different speeds: fixed high speed up,
trimmer potentiometer controlled high speed down and trimmer potentiometer
controlled low speed down. The purpose of these speeds is to provide "soft"
compression. This is done by reducing the speed of the compression paddle as
soon as the paddle reaches the breast.
The control of the compression is done by monitoring the compression motor's

current which gives us a rough idea of what the actual torque of the motor is.
The current of the motor is measured with resistor R29 and then compared to
two predetermined threshold levels. The first threshold level, speed threshold,
determines the force that the speed of the compression is reduced. Turn the
trimmer potentiometer R43 to set this level. The second threshold level,
current limit, determines the final compression force. Turn the trimmer
potentiometer R33 to set the compression force.
The CPU controls the compression movement with following signals:
CDIR signal:
This signal sets the status of the relay K1. It determines the polarity of the C-
motor voltage that is, the direction of the compression paddle.
CRUN signal:
This signal activates the PWM circuit (ICA4) which applies voltage to the
motor. The reference voltage is selected from three different speed references
with analog switch ICD5. The choice depends on the direction of the
compression paddle and the speed threshold level.
SPEED signal: (for future purposes)

This signal enables the CPU to reduce the compression speed regardless of the
speed threshold level.
CMAN signal:
This signal activates the relay K2 which connects diode D10 across the motor
terminals. The purpose of this diode is to prevent the motor from rotating when
the breast is under compression.
+24Vin Bucky:
Linear regulator ICA6 provides regulated +24V dc-voltage to bucky control
board.
31687 3-35 October 2002

Adjustment of the compression speeds:
1. Adjust the high speed compression to app. 2cm /1 seconds.

2. Turn trimmer R43 until only low speed is on.
3. Adjust the low speed compression down to app. 1cm /1 seconds
4. Adjust the trimmer pot R43 so that the paddle switches to low speed
when it reaches the breast. Make sure the paddle travels in high speed
(free air) at all angles. If not increase the speed threshold level.
5. Adjust the final compression force with trimmer R33. The compression
force limit can be adjusted by software setting in service program
(version 7.36 and up). In this case compression force with trimmer R33
is adjusted to be 25-27 kg (53-59lbs) and force stop has been set by
software.

3.4.4.3 Back up release

The units are equipped with a compression back up feature. If the line voltage
suddenly disappears the compression paddle is driven up. This is implemented
with a back up transformer in the back of the unit. The back up transformer is
energized whenever the unit is connected to the line supply. This back up
transformer provides power for the relay K4 on the Filament Control board.
When this relay is powered the compression motor is driven normally. When
the relay is not activated the motor is driven upwards with the voltage in the
capacitors C20 -C31 on the Filament Control board. The status of the relay K4
is indicated with a LED next to the main switch.
October 2002 3-36 31687

3.4.4.4 Anode motor

After the hand switch has been depressed, the microprocessor will signal the
8255 (D8) on the CPU board to output four signals that are ANSTART,
ANENA, ANRUN and ANSTOP. ANRUN is the first signal to go active, it is
normally high to extend opto coupler life on the ANODE MOTOR DRIVER
(AMD). It will go low in preparation for the ANENA signal so there is no
arching when K1 relay on the AMD is pulled. After ANENA has enabled the
anode motor, ANRUN goes high supplying the motor with 40 V. Seventy
milliseconds later ANSTART goes low turning on the opto coupler A4, which
pulls pin 6 of the motor controller (A7) high. This turns the triac V1
completely on supplying the rotor with 220 VAC. After nearly 1.5 seconds of
boosting, ANSTART goes high again ending the boost phase so the voltage
applied to the rotor drops back down to 40 V. After the exposure is finished,
ANRUN goes low removing all power from the rotor so there will be no
arching when ANSTOP pulls relay K2 to remove the phase shift capacitor and
winding from the circuitry for the braking.
An anode brake can be selected in the SETUP mode.

The braking is done by applying a half wave rectified voltage to the main
stator winding. This produces a stationary magnetic field acting on the rotor.
The phase shift winding does not get any voltage.
After the relay K2 has settled, ANRUN goes high again applying 40V half
wave rectified voltage to the stator. To begin braking shortly after that
ANSTART goes low applying the full 220 V half wave rectified voltage to the
stator.
STARTOK and RUNOK are two signals that the CPU monitors on during the
boost and run phase respectively. They will go low if the voltage during each
phase falls between the window set up by the two comparators for each signal.
3.4.4.5 Bucky motor

At the beginning of the exposure, the CPU checks that the grid is in its proper
position using the bucky home signal coming from the BUCKY CONTROL
board. The proper position is just after the reversal of the grid direction. After
this and about 100 milliseconds before the exposure, the bucky on signal (pin 7
of X1) goes high, which pulls the relay K1 and thus connects the bucky motor
to the BUCKY CONTROL board.
The BUCKY CONTROL board uses a photo interrupter to sense the position
of the grid. The input photodiode of this sensor is connected between pins 5
and 6 of X3, and the output photo-transistor is connected across pins 3 and 4 of
X3 on the board. During the normal speed, the phototransistor conducts and
thus grounds the base of transistor V7 and connects the bucky motor to the
adjustable output of A1. Just before the change of the grid direction the
phototransistor stops conducting, and the bucky motor is connected to a higher
voltage through relay K2 thus making the change of the direction as quick as
possible. After the change the speed returns to normal again. After the
exposure the grid is driven back to the proper position.

3.4.5 Automatic exposure control (AEC)
3.4.5.1 AEC - general

There AEC consists basically of three parts to the circuit, the DETECTOR, the
AEC board and the CPU board.
3.4.5.2 The Detector

The detector is a package containing 34 diodes connected in parallel. As X-ray
strikes the diodes, they begin to leak current from the cathode to anode. The
amount of current each diode leaks is related to the amount of X-ray it
receives. Since the diodes are connected in parallel, the total current draw of
the detector is the total of all diodes current draw.
3.4.5.3 AEC BOARD

There are four basic connections to the AEC board. The main power is
connected to X1, unregulated +18VDC supply to X1/1, analog ground to X1/2
and unregulated -18VDC supply to X1/3. The detector connects to X2
(cathode), X3 (detector shield) and X4 (anode). The detector can be measured
as a diode.
The connector X6 is for static shield. The purpose of the shield is to protect the
phototimer board from major electrical interferences and X-rays.
The CPU is connected with the phototimer through connectors X1/8

(AUTOEXP, information from the CPU) and X1/7 (AECFRQ information to
the CPU). The CPU also provides the +5VDC supply through X1/5 = +5VDC,
X1/6 = ground.
The signal from the detector is taken to the first amplifier ICA1 which is the
preamplifier. Besides amplifying it also does the current to voltage conversion.
Trimpot R2 is for adjusting the offset voltage of ICA1.
(NOTE: adjusted to 0 - offset in the factory)
October 2002 3-38 31687

The second amplifier A2 has a smaller gain which is adjustable to take into
account differences between detectors, x-ray tubes and film/screen
combinations. Trimpot R6 is for adjusting the offset voltage of A2.
(NOTE: adjusted to 0 - offset in the factory)
The AEC board replaces the phototimer board in the units manufactured since
December 1994). In the AEC board the signal from the detector is taken to
voltage to frequency converter after amplification. The software for this board
is 7.xx or higher (6.35 and 6.55 also). The CPU board needs to be of version
1.2 or higher.
3.4.5.4 The CPU

The CPU board looks at the pulses from the AEC board. The frequency of
these pulses represents the radiation through the breast. The CPU converts the
frequency into a variable called INTEGRATION time. The microprocessor
plugs this time into a formula and calculates the exposure time. Integration
time has a nonlinear effect on the exposure time, which is important to keep in
mind when making adjustments.

3.5.2 CPU board

A block diagram of CPU board is in figure 3.7.
Intel 80C32 (in version 1.07 and below 80C31) (ICD1) microprocessor
running at a clock frequency of 12 MHz is used as the nucleus of the CPU
board.
Port 0 of the processor is used as a combined data bus and the lower half of the
address bus. Port 2 is used as the upper half of the address bus. Circuit ICD27
(74HC373) latches the address code into the address bus when the external
memory fetch is used. Circuit ICD21 (74HC245) with programmable Gate
Array Logic (GAL) circuit ICD22 (22V10), ICD7 (74HC32) and processor
signals PSEN,ALE, WR and RD control the direction of data transmission in
the data bus/lower half of the address bus.
Because the EA-pin of the processor is tied low, all the instructions are fetched
from the external memory. The printed circuit board includes three IC-sockets
for program chips. One is for the program memory circuit (ICD16) and the
second is for static RAM circuit (ICD14). The third is for a nonvolatile
memory EEPROM (ICD15).
October 2002 3-40 31687

ICD22 (GAL 22V10) is used as an address decoder for data memory and
I/O-circuitry (ICD8, ICD12, ICD13, ICD18, ICD19, ICD23, ICD26 and half of
the ICD5). The address-map of the system can be presented:
0000 - FFFF program memory (64k)
8000 - 9FFF nonvolatile memory (8k)

A000 - CFFF I/O
D000 - EFFF data memory
F000 - FFFF not used
ICD8 (8279) is a keyboard/display controller which independently takes care

of user interface and displays of the unit.
CPU has six 8-bit I/O ports. Three of them is configured as inputs and the rest
three as outputs
The RESET and WATCHDOG circuitry consists of ICA2 (TL7705A).

The DISPLAY board is located in the control box and is connected by a cable
to the controller circuit D15 (8279), which is located in the CPU board.
This board includes circuits D1 (ULN2003A), D2 and D3 (74HC138). D1 is a

segment driver for the LEDs (light emitting diodes) and the seven segment
displays. D2 and D3 are decoders, with which the controller selects the digits.
Signals from the keyboard are conducted via this board to an 8279 controller
matrix.
3.5.4 C&Z-DRIVER BOARD

This board controls the functions of compression (C) motor and vertical
movement (Z) motor. C&Z-drive board also supplies the voltage for the bucky.
October 2002 3-42 31687

3.5.5 CD-BOARD
This board is installed in Alpha MT only. The CD-board measures the breast
thickness. The signal is sent to the CPU board which controls the display on
the CD board. All information is passed through a serial link. On the CD board
locates also the electronic for the beam filter selection and the driver circuit for
the filter change motor.
3.5.6 C-ARM CONTROL BOARD

This board is installed in PERFORMA, ALPHA RT/IQ only. It measures the
compression thickness and force and controls the displays on the c-arm. It also
controls the motor that drives the beam filter change mechanism.
The C-arm Control board is based on Intel 80C32 micro controller. It has a
software of its own which is independent from the software on the CPU board.
The only requirement is that the software is of version 7.01 or higher.
The C-arm Control board communicates with the CPU board with a serial link.
An error in this communication is indicated as E.12 error on the control panel.
The C-arm Control board is divided into digital part and analog part. The
digital part controls the i/o signals and c-arm display board. The analog part
measures the compression thickness and force and drives the filter motor.
The compression force is measured with strain gages in the compression

mechanism. The signal is brought to the amplifier ICA4. The offset voltage of
the amplifier must be set to 500mV when there is no strain on the compression
paddle. The voltage is measured between testpoints TP5 and TP6.

3.5.7 C-ARM DISPLAY BOARD

This board is installed in PERFORMA, ALPHA RT/IQ only. It contains 8
seven segment displays, two LEDs to indicate which beam filter is selected
and a filter change switch. The seven segment displays are controlled by ICD4
on C-arm Control board. The LEDs and the switch are handled by regular i/o-
control on C-arm Control board.
3.5.8 ECS DRIVER BOARD

The ECS Driver Board Controls the C-arm movement of the ECS-200 device.
It is an electronic circuit board that requires software based control from
Performa, Alpha unit. Software version of the unit must be 7.27 or greater.
The C-arm movement can be activated in four different ways:
1. Up and down from footpedal in either C-arm or ECS mode.
2. Up and down from either one the two switches located on both sides of
the C-arm covers.
3. Automatic return of the C-arm to it's lowest position after an exposure

if the autorelease function in the Performa, Alpha control panel has
been selected.
4. Return of the C-arm to it's lowest position from the return switch
located on both sides of the C-arm covers.
Up, Down and Return switches are also available on the circuit board for
service purposes.
Motor control
The C-arm movement is handled by a pulse width modulated (PWM) DC

motor. The speed of the C-arm and ECS are separately adjusted with trimmer
potentiometers R37 (C-arm) and R59 (ECS respectively. The PWM control
circuit ICA3 (TL494) controls the motor voltage according the reference
voltage (TP3). The motor is activated by pulling the *MOTOR ENABLE
signal down.
The direction of the C-arm is determined by relay K2. The default direction of
the C-arm is down.
Movement limits
The C-arm movement limits are sensed with two photointerrupters on the
electronic circuit board (ICD9 and ICD10). When the limit is reached a metal
plate enters the photointerrupter slot turning the photointerrupter transistor off.
October 2002 3-44 31687

Control signals:
Up and down
The user can move the C-arm up and down with a switch located on the cover
or with a footpedal. The *CARM UP signal activates relay K2 and changes the
direction of the motor drive. The motor drive is enabled if the C-arm is not in
it's upper limit.
*CARM DWN signal moves the C-arm down. The motor drive is enabled if
the C-arm is not in it's lower limit.
Return
The user can return the C-arm to it's normal position (down) by pressing the
return switch. This activates D-flip flop ICD6 if the relay K2 is not activated
(that is if the direction of the C-arm is down). When the lower limit is reached
the flip flop is reset and motor drive is disabled.
Autorelease
The autorelease function returns the C-arm down after an exposure. The
information of an exposure is derived from control signals for ANODE
MOTOR DRIVE board (connectors X5 and X6). ANENA signal is active
during preheat sequence and an exposure.
If the compression paddle is driven up after exposure, the C-arm is returned

down after the compression paddle has reached it's upper limit. The
information of compression paddle movement is derived from compression
motor encoder (connector X8).
Compression current limit
The information of the compression reaching it's current limit is derived from
the compression motor voltage (connector X3 pins 10 and 11). When the
breast is being compressed (paddle moving) the optocoupler ICD11 A and B
are activated.

4.1.4 Image quality evaluation procedure

1. Go to the film processor evaluation procedure described in the
Installation Instructions , 2.14.2
2. Place a loaded cassette into the bucky and select AEC operation using
settings (kV) as you would use for an average 4.5 cm compressed
breast.
3. Place the RMI 156 phantom on the bucky in the same position as a
breast. The nipple indent marker should be positioned away from the
chest wall. Use a standard 18 x 24 or 24 x 30 size compression paddle.
4. Set the AEC detector to an inward position under the wax portion of
the phantom.
5. Make an exposure and process the exposed film. This image will
represent the imaging abilities of your machine using these clinical
factors.
6. If the image is over or under exposed, make a AEC adjustment and

repeat the exposure.
7. Once an acceptable image has been obtained, have one or more viewers
identify and record which objects are seen. Use a magnifying glass to
look for the structures as you would on a patients mammogram. Use
the phantom scoring procedure on the following pages to score system
performance.
8. Make another exposure using magnification table and score that image.
9. Mark both films with the date, kV, mAs and their scores and file them
for future reference.

4.2 AUTOMATIC EXPOSURE CONTROL EVALUATION
4.2.1 Quick AEC test

Testing procedure:
1 Attach the cassette.

2 Position an acrylic plate carefully so that it covers the AEC detector.
3 Select 25 kV and density 0.
4 Make an exposure using the semi-AEC.
5 Develop the film.
6 Measure the film density. If the density is not between 1.3 and 1.5, the
reprogramming of AEC is recommended.
Carry out this test once a week.
4.2.3 Object thickness compensation

Measure the optical density for 20 and 40 millimeters of acrylic. Use also 60
millimeters if available. Use 25 kV without bucky and 27 kV with bucky and
magnification. Measure the optical density for both molybdenum and rhodium
filter. Plot the values in the table below.

4.3 MECHANICAL CHECKS
4.3.1 Compression system

The part of the equipment which undergoes the most use is the compression
system, so it needs regular attention and treatment when necessary. Spread
some grease (MBDE or other high-quality grease) on the compression driving
axle and support joints. If the driving wheels are noisy or the hand wheels
difficult to rotate, we strongly recommend that you remove the C-arm and
grease the inside of the compression system. Check also the digital
compression display according to the test described in the Installation
Instruction.
4.3.2 C-arm rotation brake

Check that the brake has 110 N (24 lbs.) of holding force, if necessary tighten
the four nyloc nuts to increase holding force if necessary. Check that only 20 N
(4 lbs.) of force is needed when the brake is disengaged. If required, loosen the
four nyloc nuts or remove one disc spring pair. Recheck the 110N (24 lbs.)
holding force.
4.3.3 Column and carriage

Check all cables, especially the cables coming from the C-arm. Check also the
counter weight wire condition.
4.3.4 Compression force checking

Place a scale under the paddle and compress it like a breast using hand wheels.
The mechanical clutch should stop the compression movement before the
pressure reaches 250 N (55 lbs.). If the compression exceeds this, adjust the
clutch by removing the back cover of the C-arm and turning the sealed and
labeled screw. Do not forget to lock the screw after adjustment.
4.3.5 Testing the x-ray field illumination

Select the desired film size, load the film into the cassette and put the cassette
and diaphragm in their places. Select the manual mode (25 kV, 20 mAs). Place
a piece of white paper (18 x 24 and/or 24 x 30) on the cassette holder so that
the light field can be seen clearly. Place for example some coins in the corners
of the area illuminated on the cassette holder and make an exposure. Develop
the film. The coins on the film should not be more than +- 5 mm out of the
exposed field. If they are, adjustment must be performed for the light field.

October 2002 5-2 31687

5.3 E.01 Error message explanation

NO TUBE CURRENT
The FILAMENT CONTROL board compares the mA-feedback voltage

MAFB to a reference value that is about 80% of the actual mA-reference
voltage. When the feedback exceeds this reference value it sends a MAOK
signal to the CPU board. If the CPU does not get this signal in 0.2 seconds
after EXT signal, the processor terminates the exposure and gives error
message E.01.
This can depend of a problem either in kV- or in mA- circuitry, because if the
high voltage (kV) is absent, anode current (mA) can not be produced. .
a. CONNECTORS. Check that all connectors on INVERTER and

FILAMENT CONTROL boards are properly installed
b. SUPPLY VOLTAGES. Check that all supply voltages are present

(See section 5.28).
c. FILAMENT MOSFETs. Turn the unit off. Connect the common of

your DVM to the leg of resistor R38 and plus to the leg of resistor R50.
You should read .4 volts using diode range.
d. mA REFERENCE. Turn the unit on and measure the mA reference

voltage from test point TP15. At 27kV (large focus) the reference
voltage should be appr. 2,78 volts.
e. SOFTSTART. Go to PERFORMA, ALPHA softstart procedure, (2.12

on Installation Instructions Manual).
NOTE: IF THE PREHEAT CAN NOT BE ADJUSTED AS DESCRIBED IN THE

SOFTSTART PROCEDURE, CHANGE THE HIGH VOLTAGE
TRANSFORMER.
OTHER REASONS
- Very slow tube current rise (easily with small focus)
- No kV
- No filament in the X-ray tube
- Connector to filaments open
31687 5-3 October 2002


NO KV
On units with INVERTER and FILAMENT CONTROL Boards, the E.02 error
indicates that there is no kV present. This can happen if either the INVERTER
board or the HIGH VOLTAGE UNIT is faulty. The problem can also be that
the FILAMENT CONROL board does not provide necessary control signals
for the Inverter board.
a. CONNECTORS. Check that all connectors on INVERTER and

FILAMENT CONTROL boards are properly installed
b. MOSFETs. DISCONNECT ALL CONNECTORS FROM

INVERTER BOARD 1. Connect the common of your DVM to test
point TP3 and plus to test point TP1. You should read .4 volts in diode
range. 2. Connect the common of your DVM to test point TP4 and
plus to test point TP1. You should read .4 volts in diode range. 3.
Connect the common of your DVM to test point TP2 and plus to test
point TP3. You should read .4 volts in diode range. 4. Connect the
common of your DVM to test point TP2 and plus to test point TP4.
You should read .4 volts in diode range.
c. FUSE. Measure that the fuse has not been blown
d. SUPPLY VOLTAGES. Turn the unit on. Check that all supply
voltages are present (See section 5.28).
e. MOSFET DRIVER. Go to service mode. Make an exposure without

X-rays. (See section 3.4.3.8; remember jumper X8 on FILAMENT
CONTROL Board) Make sure that the LEDs H4, H5, H6, H7, H11
and H12 are lit during the exposure.
f. kV REFERENCE. Turn the unit on and measure the kV reference

voltage from test point TP24. At 27kV the reference voltage should be
app. 2,7 volts.
NOTE! IF THE INVERTER BOARD APPEARS TO WORK CORRECTLY

CHANGE THE HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER.
OTHER REASONS
- Inverter board
- HV-unit
IF HV-UNIT CHANGED:
- Check kV
- Check Preheat
- Check AEC

(new generator consisting of the inverter and filament board)
Follow the testing procedure if the Inverter Board seems to be working well,
the system gives E02 error messages and it is not clear if there is a problem
with the HV-unit, the HV-cable or with the X-ray tube
1) Open connector X4 on Filament Board.

This disconnect the filaments from their power supply
2) On Filament Board move jumper X8 between pins 1 & 2.

The jumper is normally between 2 & 3. This forces the filament supply
always to take it's feedback from the filament voltage even during an
exposure. Normally during an exposure the feedback is taken from the
tube current.
3) On Filament Board move Switch S1 to "TEST" position.

This disables the CPU from getting the error message (E01) because of
the missing tube current.
4) Disconnect HV-cable from the HV- unit and start taking exposures
with 20kV and gradually increase the kV setting.
5) If you can take exposures up to 35kV, the HV-transformer is good
6) Connect the HV-cable into the transformer and disconnect it from the
tube.
7) WITH A PLASTIC ROPE OR EQUIVALENT PULL THE LOOSE

END OF THE HV-CABLE AWAY FROM THE PERFORMA,
ALPHA. THIS IS TO MINIMIZE THE POSSIBILITY OF ARCING
TO THE CHASSIS.
8) Start making exposures with 20kV and increase the setting gradually.
CAUTION! BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL!!!
9) If you can make exposures up till 35kV without E02-errors, the HV-
transformer and the HV-cable are good and the reason for the error
message can be in the x-ray tube.

5.4.2 Testing of the old Alpha generator

(old generator consisting of the Pulse Board, Base Drive and Power Board)
Follow the testing procedure if the Power Board seems to be working well, the
system gives E02 error messages and it is not clear if there is a problem with
the HV-unit, the HV-cable or with the X-ray tube.
1) Disconnect filaments by opening connector X2 on Base Drive.

This disconnects the filaments from their power supply
2) Remove ic-chip A7 (opto) on Pulse Board and put a short between pins
4 and 5.
This disables the CPU from getting the error message (E01) because of the
missing tube current.
3) Disconnect HV-cable from the HV- unit and start making exposures
with 20kV and increase the setting gradually.
transformer is good.
5) Connect the HV-cable into the transformer and disconnect it from the
tube.
6) WITH A PLASTIC ROPE OR EQUIVALENT PULL THE LOOSE

board are properly and right way installed. Check also that connector
X36 on the X-ray tube is properly installed.
b. THERMAL SWITCH Disconnect X36, measure between pins 1 and

3, and 2 and 3 on the tube side, if the circuit is open, the thermal
switch is open. Measure the resistance between pins 1 and 2. The
resistance should be about 66 ohms If the circuit is open and the
resistance is right, wait about 45 minutes and check if the thermal
switch is closed. If the resistance shows OL (over load) , the coils of
the anode motor are broken, change the tube.
c. LINE VOLTAGE. Check that the AMD board does get 220VAC
between TP1 and TP2. If not check cabling and connections on X9.

Problem in serial communications between CPU and FILAMENT BOARD.
The CPU board sends serial data to the serial-to-parallel latch (D3) located on
the PULSE board (or FILAMENT CONTROL board). The CPU receives the
same signal back from pin 2 of D3 (buffered and isolated through A9 and
A5).If the received signal is different from the transmitted signal an E04 error
message is indicated.
a. CPU - FILAMENT CONTROL BOARD CABLE Check that the

cable between FILAMENT CONTROL and CPU board is properly
installed (connector X5 on CPU board, connector X1 on filament
control).
b. FUSES F1 - F4. Check that the fuses on the FILAMENT BOARD

(F1-F4 BASE DRIVE Board) are not blown.
c. FILAMENT BOARD (BASE DRIVE) VOLTAGE. Using the

31687 5-9 October 2002


The digital compression thickness display does get an analog voltage
information from the slide potentiometer located on the C-arm frame. On the
Performa, Alpha RT/IQ the kV is set automatically based on the compression
thickness. If the analog voltage is missing, the Auto-kV would not work
properly. When the compression is driven to the lowest position the voltage
output is not 0V.If a connection problem occurs, the voltage drops to 0V and a
E08 error message will be activated. Exposures are inhibited during the error
message.
a. Check the slide potentiometer connection and clean the potentiometer

surface.

and power supply connections. Measure that proper secondary voltages are
available at supply transformers T1 and T2.
If LEDs on the SUPPLY board are still not lit replace the SUPPLY board.
5.38 AEC Inoperative

Check cabling to the PHOTOTIMER / AEC board, supply voltages ± 12V,
+5V on the PHOTOTIMER / AEC , and continuity of AUTOEXP and
CNTRDY signals.
Measure the AUTOEXP signal with an oscilloscope. The CPU should set the
signal up 30ms after the radiation rise. If the amplifier does not receive the
signal, check the CPU board.
Measure the CNTRDY / AECFRQ signal coming from the amplifier. Make
sure you have no absorption in the radiation field. If you have a
PHOTOTIMER board the signal should go down for 150µs. If the signal does
not go down, change the amplifier and the detector. If you have an AEC board
the AECFRQ signal should contain high frequency.
To check whether the CPU sees this frequency press autorel button in service
mode. If the numbers displayed in the kV and mAs window show 00 then
there is something wrong with the cabling or AEC board.
- Check grounding.
- Check Cassettes/films/screens
- Check detector positioning
- Check HV-grease
- Check spot diaphragm
