2. Safety Precautions

When servicing this system, observe the precautions described below to ensure safety of the operator
and service personnel.

DANGER: 1. This unit is not explosion-proof. Never use any flammable gases or liquids
near the unit. Doing so may result in a fire or an explosion.
If such gases or liquids must be used during work, open the windows of the

room to ensure sufficient ventilation.


2. Before starting operation, besure to confirm that the accessories are
securely mounted to the unit. If accessories come off during operation,
death or serious injury may result.

WARNING: 1. Post a sign reading "INSPECTION IN PROGRESS" on the entrance of the


radiographic room during work to make people outside the room aware
that work is in progress and thereby avoid endangering them.

In particular, during X-ray generation, take appropriate measures (such as


locking the door of the radiographic room) to ensure that no personnel
other than those involved in the work enter the room.

2. Before connecting the power cable, besure to turn OFF the breaker of the
power distribution board ofthe facility. Otherwise, death or serious injury
caused by an electric shock may result.

3. When turning the power supply ON/OFF during work, besure to inform all
co-workers and receive confirmation from them.

4. During work, pay attention to the activities of all co-workers and


immediately give a warning if any worker is acting in an unsafe manner.

5. If the unit must be stopped immediately during installation or adjustment,


press the EMERGENCY STOP switch to turn OFF the power of the unit.

6. The X-ray exposure switch or the handswitch shouldbe pressed only


when X-ray exposure isto be performed. Pressing either of these
switches while the power is ON causes X-rays to be generated, which may
result in unintended exposure.

7. Before operation, confirmthat there are no objects or equipment within


the operating range ofthe C-arm stand. They may cause interference,
which could result in a serious accident.

8. Lead and beryllium are usedin the X-ray tube unit in order to reduce
radiation exposure andto improve image quality. These materials are
highly toxic. Therefore, when disposing of the X-raytube, be sure to
observe the precautions described in the document provided with the
X-ray tube unit.

9. Wait at least 10 minutes after turning OFF the power supply before
touching internal components. Otherwise, the residual charge in the
capacitor unit may cause an electric shock.

5
No. 2D621-092EN*B

WARNING: 10. Take special care to avoid electric shock when performing high-voltage
cable checks, high-voltage generator checks, X-ray control section
checks, test adjustments, etc.

11. Do not spill or spray disinfectant, detergent, or water onthe system or


on the floor. When performing disinfection or cleaning, usea soft cloth
that has been soaked in disinfectant or detergent and thoroughly wrung
out. Disinfection or cleaning should beperformed only for sections
which require disinfection orcleaning. If a liquid enters the system or
cable pit, a malfunction or an accident may occur.

12. Before cleaning or disinfecting the unit, besure to turn OFF the power of
the unit. If the power of the unit is ON, inadvertent operation of theunit
may cause an accident.

13. Before X-ray generation, confirm thatthere are no persons except the
required personnel in the examination room.

If work is performed while X-rays are being generated, take adequate


measures (such as wearing a protective apron or using a protective
screen) to avoid exposure to X-rays.

14. Take precautions to avoid electrical shock. Be especially careful not to


touch charged components when the power is ON and the covers have
been removed.

15. When work inside the operating consoleis performed, be sure to turn
OFF the breaker at the power distribution board of the facility. Failure to
do so may lead to death or serious injury due to electric shock.

16. Do not use fuses other than those specified. Using fuses that do not
meet the specifications may cause a fire.

No. 2D621-092EN*B

CAUTION: 1. Before starting work, carefully read the service manuals.

2. Before starting work, clarifythe contents and procedures of the checks with
co-workers in order to enhance safety and efficiency.

3. During work, post a sign indicating that work isbeing performed and arrange
an appropriate location for storing removed covers etc.

4. Wear a work cap and safety shoes during work.


When working in high places,wear a safety helmet. Use a stable stepladder.

5. Exercise extreme careto ensure safety during the handling of heavy units.

Do not allow a person to carry an object weighing more than 20 kg.

6. Do not subject the C-arm to excessive force in the rotation direction. Do not
pull cables forcibly or bend themexcessively. The cables may be
disconnected, damaged, etc.

7. To reduce the risk of burn injury, wait for partsto cool before touching
sections near hot lamps.

8. Handle the lamp and lamp holder carefully,because they become extremely
hot if the lamp has been lit for a prolonged period. When handling the lamp,
wear gloves and grasp the base of the lamp; do not touch the lamp with your
fingers directly. If the lamp is contaminated with fingerprints or oil, wipe it
clean with a cloth moistened with alcohol before lighting the lamp.

9. Confirm that the securing points of the important securing sections are
firmly tightened.

10. Before detaching/attaching the Buckydevice, be sure to turn OFF the power
of the control panel.

11. When unpacking the units, donot place the C-arm stand or control uniton its
side.

12. When placing the C-arm stand upright,without support, on thefloor, pay
attention to the following points.

(a) Do not hold the C-arm when moving the C-arm stand. If the C-arm is
rotated, the rotation limit switch may be actuated, making it impossible
to perform motor-driven rotation.

(b) Do not allow the painted surface to get scratched.

(c) Place the C-arm stand on a level and flat floor.

(d) Do not allow the cables to get caught between thefloor and the C-arm
stand base. If the cables get caught, they may break.

or if the floor is too soft for the use of a cart, use plywood squares on the floor along the
route.

3. The accessories include resinmolded products. To avoid damage to the accessories


during unpacking, do not stack them. Also, be careful notto drop them.

4. When the PC board mounting plate is remounted at its srcinal position after cable
connection of the X-ray high-voltage generator is completed, do not allow the cables to
get caught. If the cables get caught, they may break.

5. After the cables are installed in the cable pit, cover the pit with a metal plate to prevent
the cables from being damaged. To resist deformation, the metal plate should beat least
1.5 mm thick.

6. To improve noise resistance, be sure to route the signal cables and power cables
separately.

7. If the base cover is equipped with a display panel, cables are connected to this panel.
When removing the cover, remove the connectors and ensure that the cables are not
pulled. When remounting the cover, be sure to reconnect the cables.

8. When removing the front cover, it is recommended that the C-armbe raised slightly from
the lowest position to facilitate the removal work.

9. An emergency stop switch is provided onthe outer cover fixing frame, and a cable is
connected to this switch. When removing the cover, open the cover slightly to prevent
the cable from being pulled, and disconnect the connector. Then, remove the cover.
When remounting the cover, be sure to reconnect the connector.

10. For subsection 5.2.4 "C-arm and C-arm stand covers":

(a) C-arm operation switches are provided on the side covers. When removing the
covers, open the covers slightly to prevent the cables from being pulled, and
disconnect the cableconnectors. Then, remove the covers.

(b) A retaining screw isinstalled at the top of each of side covers <2> and <3> in figure
5-5. Do not remove these two screws at the same time. If both screws are removed
together, the retaining bracket will fall.

11. Before executing list output, be sure to connect a USB storage device. If a USB storage
device is not connected, the operation will be cancelled.

12. Be sure to fully confirm safety before X-rays aregenerated in X-ray tube aging mode. In
addition, ensure that there is an interval of at least 30 seconds between successive X-ray
exposures.

13. When generating X-rays in quality control mode,exercise extreme care to ensure safety.
In addition, be sure to wait at least 30 seconds after the last X-ray generation before
generating X-rays again.

CAUTION: 14. Be sure to confirm that thereare no objects such as peripheralunits within the
movement range of theC-arm stand. Failure to do so may cause interference between
the object and the C-arm stand, resulting in a serious accident.

15. The changes to the AEC data acquisition items do not affect the set radiographic
conditions. To change the filter, enter X-ray tube aging mode. Note that when the
focus size is changed to large, theBucky device should be mounted. When the focus
size is changed to small, the magnification radiography unit should be mounted.

from beam limiting device adjustment mode andreturn to the utility main window. When
this is done, the actual aperture changes to the set aperture.

17. Be sure to change the tube current andthe main heating in increments of one step
while observing the waveform. Large changes to these values may damage the X-ray
tube.

18. Before executing log file output from the statistical information window, be sure to
connect a USB storage device. If a USB storage device is not connected, the operation
will be cancelled.

19. For adjustment, be sureto use the compression plate for 18cm × 24 cm contact
radiography.

20. If the compression force display doesnot correspond to the actual compression force,
adjustment cannot be performed properly. If "Adjustment of theCompressed Breast
Thickness Display" described in subsection 8.2 cannot be performed satisfactorily,
perform "Adjustment of the Compression Force" described in subsection 8.1.

21. The compression plate is made of soft material. Do not compress objects with corners,
such as a phantom, because doing so may scratch the compression plate.

22. When the compression plate is replaced, do not tighten the screws excessively. The
compression plate is made of a soft material and may be damaged by excessive
tightening.

23. VR adjustment alone does not change the value displayed on the LED. X-ray
generation must be performed each time adjustment is performed.

24. In AEC data acquisition mode, it is only possible to change the tube voltage and the
mAs value. All other operations are disabled. If it is necessary to change the filter,
move the compression plate, or perform any other operation during this work, switch to
X-ray tube aging mode from AEC data acquisition mode.

25. For data acquisition with small focus, be sure to mount the adaptor for magnification
radiography to the C-arm stand. Otherwise, small focus cannot be selected.

CAUTION: 26. Precautions in AEC data acquisition mode

These buttons are


used for selecting
the AEC data table
to be written to the
STAND CONT PWB,
not for changing
the X-ray conditions.

27. In subsection 8.6.3 "Calculation of the AEC data table", the parameters differ for each
sheet. Be sure to select the correct sheet.

28. When the exposure field is adjusted, besure to use the maximum exposure fieldthat can
be set.

29. Before the adjustment parameters aretransferred, close all theother individual
adjustment windows. If an individual adjustment window isopen, the data from the PWB
may be loaded, leading to overwriting of the existing data in the individual adjustment
window.
If data is lost, restore the backed-up ini folder data and transfer the adjustment
parameters again.

30. To prevent damage to the system, do not use disinfectants of the types specified below.
The performance and safety of systems damaged by use of an improper disinfectant
cannot be ensured.

(a) Disinfectants that may damage metal or rubber, such as chlorine-based


disinfectants.

(b) Disinfectants that are not intended for use on metal, plastic, rubber, or coatings.

(c) Disinfectants that may enter the system, such as formalin gas or spray-type agents.

31. Do not clean the system using organic solvents (suchas paint thinner) or abrasive
cleansers, because they may cause discoloration or damage the surface finish.

32. When using a measuring instrument, fully understand thecontents of the measurement
and be extremely careful when handlingthe system and the instrument. Failure to do so
may result in incorrect measurement results or malfunction of the system or the
measuring instrument.

3.2 Inverter Errors

When an error occurs in the inverter in the C-arm stand, a protective function is operated, an alarm
sounds, system operation stops, and the inverter unit display automatically switches to error
display mode. The errors are described below.

(1) Fatal errors

Inverter output is interrupted by a protective function.

Display Name Details


E. CO1 During acceleration Overcurrent When the inverter output current becomes 200% of the
E. CO2 During operation at a circuit breaker rated current, the protective circuit is actuated and
constant speed inverter output is stopped.

E. CO3 During deceleration


E. OV1 During acceleration Regenerative If the regenerative energy causes the direct current of
E. OV2 During operation at a overvoltage the main circuit inside the inverter to exceed the
constant speed circuit breaker specified value during braking, the protective circuit
operates to stop inverter output. The protective circuit
E. OV3 During deceleration may also operate due to a surge voltage in the power
In the stationary state system.
E. THM Motor overload interruption (electronic Heating of the motor due to overloading or cooling
thermal relay) capacity degradation during constant speed operation
is detected by the electronic thermal relay provided in
the inverter and inverter output is stopped.
E. THT Inverter overload interruption When the current exceeds 150% of the rated current
(electronic thermal relay) but does not reach the level that actuates the
overcurrent circuit breaker (200%), the electronic
thermal relay operates based on inverse time limit
characteristics to stop inverter output.
E. FIN Overheating of the fins When the cooling fins are overheated, the heating
sensor operates to stop inverter output.
E. BE Detection of the brake transistor error When the brake transistor becomes abnormal due to
the high regenerative energy from the motor or other
reasons, an error in the brake transistor is detected
and inverter output is stopped. In this case, it is
necessary to turn OFF the power of the inverter
immediately.
E. GF Ground-fault overcurrent protection of If a ground-fault overcurrent flows when a ground fault
the output side occurs at the output side (load side) of the inverter,
inverter output stops.
E. OHT External thermal cutout operation When the external thermal relay for protecting motor
overheating or the built-in thermal relay of the motor is
actuated (open contact), inverter outputis stopped. If
the relay contact is automatically resumed, the inverter
is not restarted unless reset operation is performed.
E. OLT Stalling prevention This indicator is displayed when the operating
frequency drops to 0 due to stalling protection.
E. PE Parameter memory element error This indicator is displayed when the stored parameters
are abnormal.
E. RET Too many retries When it is not possible to resume unit operation
normally within the specified number of retries, inverter
output is stopped.

E. CPU CPU error When the built-in CPU does not complete computation
in time, the unit diagnoses itself to be abnormal and
stops inverter output.
E. LF Output phase missing protection When one of three phases at the output side (load
side) of the inverter is missed, inverter output is
stopped.

Display Name Details


OL Stalling prevention During When the current in the motor exceeds 150% of the
(overcurrent) acceleration rated current, the rise of the frequency is interrupted
until the overload current is decreased, preventing
actuation of the overcurrent circuit breaker of the
inverter.
During When the current in the motor exceeds 150% of the
operation at a rated current, the frequency is lowered to decrease the
constant speed overload current, preventing actuation of the
overcurrent circuit breaker ofthe inverter. When the
current is lowered to below 150% of the rated current,

8.6 Adjustment of Automatic Exposure Control (AEC)

8.6.1 Adjustment of AEC gain

The film development conditions and cassettes differ according to the site. It is therefore
necessary to perform gain adjustment at the time of installation.

(1) Turn OFF the power of the system.

(2) Remove the covers from the C-arm stand to adjust the variable resistors (VRs)on the
STAND CONT PWB. For the cover removal procedure, refer to subsection 5.2.4. The
STAND CONT PWB is mounted atthe lower right of theC-arm stand. Set rotary switches
S9 and S10 on the STAND CONT PWB to "6" (this setting permits the AEC data to be
displayed on the 7-segment LED of the PWB).

Figure 8-7 Adjustment locations forgain adjustment

(3) Mount the Bucky device to the C-arm stand and set a cassette containing a film.

(4) Turn ON the power of the unit. When the login window is displayed on the monitor, log in
using an operator ID with service engineer rights. After login, select the X-ray tube aging
mode in the utility window of the operating screen.

(5) Place a phantom (BR12(50/50) 4 cm) on the C-arm stand as shown in figure 8-8. Set the
AEC position to the center of the area closest to the chest wall and set the AEC size to
large. Lower the compression plateso that it just touches the phantom.

AEC size: Large

The AEC position should be


set to the center of the area
closest to the chest wall.

Phantom

Figure 8-8 Position the phantom in place

CAUTION: The compression plate is made of soft material. Do not compress objects
with corners, such as a phantom, because doing so may scratch the
compression plate.

(6) In the X-ray tube aging mode window, set the radiographic conditions to"Manual", "Mo",
"28 kV", and "20 mAs".

(7) Generate X-rays and check the display of the 7-segment LED of the STAND CONT PWB.
If the 7-segment LED displays "27", gain adjustment is not necessary. If "27" is not
displayed, adjust VR10 of the STAND CONT PWB, generate X-rays again, and check the
display of the 7-segment LED again. Adjust VR10 until "27" is displayed.

CAUTION: VR adjustment alone does not change the value displayed on the LED.
X-ray generation must be performed each time adjustment is performed.

(8) When adjustment for the large AEC size is completed, set the AEC size to small.

(9) Generate X-rays with the same conditions asfor the large AEC size and check the display
of the 7-segment LED ofthe STAND CONT PWB. If the 7-segment LED displays "27",
gain adjustment is not necessary. If "27" is not displayed, adjust VR11 of the STAND
CONT PWB until "27" is displayed.

(10) When the above steps are completed, return thesettings of rotary switches S9 and S10 of
the STAND CONT PWB to "0" (normal operation mode). In the operating window, press

change the filter, move the compression plate, or perform any other
operation during this work, switch to X-ray tube aging mode from AEC data
acquisition mode.

(3) Set the radiographic conditions(tube voltage and mAs) and generate X-rays.

(4) Develop the film and measure the image density.

(5) Measure the density several timesby varying the mAs value and determine the mAs value
that provides the desired s value(or image density). Fill in the determined value inthe
table on the following page.

focus/Rh (only two tables when magnification radiography is not performed: large
focus/Mo and large focus/Rh).

NOTE: 1. In AEC data acquisition mode, the mAs value can be changed in increments
of 1 mAs.

2. Measurement should beperformed with at least three different tubevoltages


and measurement should be performed at least twice using objects of
different thickness for each tube voltage.

3.  in the tables on the following page indicates the recommended


measurement points. Note, however, that themeasurement points shouldbe
changed according to the conditions for each site so that the mAs value is
within 50 mAs to 200 mAs.

CAUTION: 1. For data acquisition with small focus, be sure to mount the adaptor for
magnification radiography to the C-arm stand. Otherwise, small focus
cannot be selected.

measurement value for the bleeder becomes 86 mA±5% (81.7 mA to 90.3 mA).

(b) When adjustment is completed, return SW2 of the X-RAY CONT PWB to the srcinal
setting (NOR).

(5) Adjustment of filament heating

(a) Set SW2 of the X-RAY CONT PWB to "TEST". In contact radiography with large focus,
manually set the tube voltage to22 kV. Perform adjustment with VR9 so that the
waveform for TP28 of the X-RAY CONT PWB is smooth with no overshooting or
undershooting. At this time, the measurement value of thetube voltage should be
86 mA ±5% (81.7 mA to 90.3 mA).

(b) When adjustment is completed, return SW2 of the X-RAY CONT PWB to the srcinal
setting (NOR).

(6) Checking the tube voltage/tube current

(a) Confirm that tube voltages other than 22 kV are also within ±4% of the set voltage.
When the tube voltage is set to more than 34 kV, it is necessary to change the filter
from Mo to Rh.

(b) Also confirm that the tube current is within ±5% of the set value.

(c) When the value is not within the specified range, perform adjustment again from step
(3) " Adjustment of the tube voltage".

NOTE: 1. Adjustment of the starter has been performed at the time of shipment. It is
therefore not necessary to adjust it at the site.

2. Adjustment of the tubevoltage and tube current have been performed at the
time of shipment. They are also adjusted automatically by feedback control
based on actual detected values ofthe tube voltage and tubecurrent. It is
therefore generally not necessary to adjust them at the site.

3. Adjustment of filament heating is necessary after the X-RAY CONT PWB or H.V.
INV. PWB of the X-ray tube assembly or the X-ray high-voltage generator is
replaced.

4. It is recommended that adjustment be performed in [Utility] → [X-ray tube aging


mode]. Interlocks are disabled inX-ray tube aging mode, making it easy to
perform adjustment.

(d) Connect the normal high-voltage cable between the "TRANS SIDE" of the tube-current
meter bleeder and the "ANODE SIDE" of the tube-voltage generator.

(e) Connect the high-voltage cable for mammography between the tube voltage bleeder
side where the receptacle for mammography has been inserted and the high-voltage
generator.

(f) Connect the shielded line of the high-voltage cable for mammography to the ground
terminal of the tube-voltage meter. Then connect this terminal to theground terminal of
the X-ray high-voltage generator.

(g) Disconnect the cablebetween terminal boards T1 and T2 on the X-RAY CONT PWB.
Then connect the plus side of the mAs meter to T2 and the minus side of the mAs meter
to T1.

9.3 Replacement of the Bias Resistors

(1) If the bias resistor (one each for the large and small focuses) resistance valuesare different
from those of the L and S focus bias resistors on the X-RAY CONT PWB in the X-ray high-
voltage generator when the X-ray tube is changed, replace the bias resistors.

(2) When the X-RAY CONT PWB is replaced, remove the L-focus and S-focus bias resistors
from the old PWB and mount them to the new PWB.
