Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and
land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted
theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an
electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the
VZW2556 series of X-ray generators is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the X-ray
generator should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional
measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the X-ray generator.
1.1.7 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
In accordance with the intended use, some models of this series of X-ray generators comply with the
European Council Directive concerning Medical Devices. The CE marking affixed to compliant products
signifies this. One of the harmonized standards of this Directive defines the permitted levels of
electromagnetic emission from this equipment and its required immunity from the electromagnetic
emissions of other devices.
It is not possible, however, to exclude with absolute certainty the possibility that other high frequency
electronic equipment, which is fully compliant to the EMC regulations, will not adversely affect the
operation of this generator. If the other equipment has a comparatively high level of transmission power
and is in close proximity to the generator, these EMC concerns (the risk of interference) may be more
pronounced. It is therefore recommended that the operation of equipment of this type such as mobile
telephones, cordless microphones and other similar mobile radio equipment be restricted from the vicinity
of this X-ray generator.

This notice is printed on the High Voltage Module lid and cautions against over-tightening the nuts on the
transformer feedthrough terminals (for the primary of the HV transformers).
Danger High Voltage Notice
This notice is printed on the High Voltage Module lid. High voltage may be present at the primary terminals
on the tank lid board, at the output high voltage connectors, and at the mA/mAs measuring jacks if the
shorting link is opened for mA/mAs measurements.
Auxiliary Transformer Labels
These labels are fixed on the outer face of the auxiliary transformer and indicate the presence of high
voltage taps on the primary of 120, 200, 240, 400 and 480 VAC. Ensure the main power disconnect is
switched off and appropriate documentation is consulted before attempting to service this component.
HIGH VOLTAGE HAZARD: Be certain that you are aware of all potential high voltage locations
and hazards as detailed in this section before removing any covers, or attempting any service
on this X-ray generator.
HIGH VOLTAGE HAZARD: Approximately 400 VAC is present on the membrane console
board in the area of T1, C36, and J5. This is a high voltage source for the fluorescent backlight
on the LCD display.
HIGH VOLTAGE HAZARD: AC mains voltage and / or DC bus voltage (approximately 325 to
670 VDC, depending on model) is present on the H.V. auxiliary board whenever the AC mains
is energized. Ensure that the AC mains is switched off and locked out before servicing this
board. See the note below regarding the DC bus voltage.
HIGH VOLTAGE HAZARD: High voltage is present on all components connected to the AC
mains (line fuses, auxiliary transformer, H.V. auxiliary board, main power contactor, etc)
whenever the AC mains is switched on. Additionally, DC bus voltage is present on certain
components (mains rectifier assembly, DC bus capacitors, inverter assembly, High Voltage
Module, H.V. auxiliary board, etc) whenever the generator is switched on, and will remain on
for up to 5 minutes after the console is switched off or the AC mains is switched off or
disconnected.
HIGH VOLTAGE HAZARD: Approximately 600 VDC is present on the dual-speed starter
board whenever the generator is switched on. This voltage is sourced from the DC bus
capacitors in the generator, and therefore the high voltage hazard will remain for up to 5
minutes after the generator has been switched off.
DANGEROUS
VOLTAGE
High voltage (approximately 325 to 670 VDC, depending on model) is present on the inverter
assembly and associated components whenever the AC mains is energized and the console is
switched on, and for up to 5 minutes after the console is switched off or the AC mains is
disconnected. THIS COMBINATION OF HIGH VOLTAGE AND HIGH CURRENT IS
POTENTIALLY LETHAL. USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN SERVICING THIS UNIT.
1.3.0 PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
1.3.1 Generator Heat Output
The maximum heat output of the main generator cabinet is less than 1000 BTU / hour in normal clinical
use, with a maximum of 70 BTU / hour heat output for the console. The console is convection-cooled, and
the main cabinet is fan cooled. The console and main cabinet should never be covered when the
generator is switched on, as any covering may interfere with the cooling.
1.3.2 Generator Power Requirements
The tables in this section show mains power requirements for various configurations of CMP 200 and
CMP 200 DR X-ray generators. The installer must ensure that the generator is connected to the proper
mains voltage as per the nameplate on the generator.

Ensure that the display is positioned at a height and angle to allow for easy viewing.
2.5.3 Anchoring the Generator to the Floor
If it is desired to anchor the generator to the floor, refer to chapter 1. This should not be done until all
cable hookups to the generator are completed.
2.6.0 WIRING TO THE GENERATOR
Unless specified otherwise, all cables (except AC mains) should be routed into the generator main
cabinet through the cable access slots at the upper rear of the generator. The cables should be secured
to the lip on the inside of the cable access slots using tie-wraps or equivalent fasteners. For connections
that must be made to the H.V. auxiliary board, AEC board, or to the generator control board, route the
cables over the top of the fan-mounting bracket and over the chassis divider panel.
The AC mains cable is routed into the generator via the cable clamp on the rear of the generator,
adjacent to the main fuses.
All cables should be kept away from high voltage areas in the cabinet, and dressed neatly in place.
Cables should be cut to the correct length if possible, as excess cabling may contribute to EMI/RFI
problems. For those cables that cannot be cut to the correct length (HV cables and console cables for
example), try to minimize the area inside of any loops of excess cable, as these loops can create an
antenna.
Ferrules should be used on the ends of all stranded wires that are connected to terminal connections in
the generator. These must be supplied by the installer.
EXCESS LENGTHS OF CABLING MUST NEVER BE BUNDLED UP AND STORED INSIDE THE
GENERATOR.

2.7.0 LOW-SPEED STARTER TUBE COMPATIBILITY

The Low Speed Starter is integrated into the H.V. Auxiliary Board within the CMP 200 and CMP 200 DR
generators. The phase-shift capacitor is chassis-mounted as shown in figure 1-4.
Before continuing, note the phase-shift capacitor value is compatible with your X-ray tube stator. Please
refer to table 1, in the supplement, X-ray Tube Start Compatibility Tables in this manual. If the value of
the phase-shift capacitor is not compatible with the desired X-ray tube stator type, please contact CPI
product support for assistance.
Confirm that the boost voltage is set correctly for the selected tube type per the referenced Table 1 before
continuing. The procedure for setting the boost voltage is detailed in 2.7.1. The boost voltage may be
measured from F6 to F7 on the H.V. auxiliary board.
If the desired tube type is not listed, please contact CPI product support for assistance.
Confirm proper stator operation using a suitable tachometer before making any exposures.
WARNING: HIGH VOLTAGE IS PRESENT ON THE H.V. AUXILIARY BOARD AT ALL TIMES THAT
THE GENERATOR IS SWITCHED ON. TAKE APPROPRIATE PRECAUTIONS WHEN
SERVICING THIS BOARD
2.7.1 Setting 120 / 240 VAC Boost Voltage
Follow the steps below to verify and configure the low speed starter boost voltage. This is factory
configured to 240 VAC.
1 Confirm the required boost voltage for the selected tube as described above. The requirement for
the vast majority of tubes in Table 1 of the supplement is 240 V. For tubes that require 120 V
boost, this is noted in the table.
2. The boost voltage is configured via jumpers on the H.V. auxiliary board:
E16 to E15 selects 240 V boost.
E14 to E15 selects 120 V boost.
Swap the connection at E14 and E16 if the boost voltage needs to be changed. The jumper wire
(E16 - E15 or E14 - E15) will need to be replaced if making this change. Extra jumper wires are
attached to a bag on the lip on the inside of the cable access slot above the HV module. Select
the shortest wire from this bag that will connect between the desired tabs on the board that has
the proper terminations on the jumpers. Do not discard the existing jumper; place it in the jumper
kit to be available for future configuration changes.
Proceed to the next step if the jumper setting is correct.
NOTE: THE ROTOR BOOST TIME MAY BE ADJUSTED IN THE RANGE OF 1 SECOND TO 4
SECONDS. THIS SHOULD BE SET PER THE X-RAY TUBE MANUFACTURERS
RECOMMENDATION, OR AS REQUIRED TO ENSURE PROPER ANODE ROTATION AT
THE END OF THE PREP CYCLE.
REFER TO ROTOR BOOST, UNDER GENERATOR LIMITS IN CHAPTER 3C FOR THE
PROCEDURE TO SET THE ROTOR BOOST TIME.
NOTE: THE LOW SPEED STARTER BOOST MUST NOT EXCEED 5 CONSECUTIVE BOOSTS,
AND MUST BE FOLLOWED BY A MINIMUM 10 SECOND WAIT PERIOD.
3. Confirm the proper boost voltage and proper anode rotation as described above.
2.8.0 PROGRAMMING THE DUAL-SPEED STARTER
CAUTION: IMPROPER DIP SWITCH SETTINGS WILL RESULT IN IMPROPER ANODE SPEED
ROTATION WHICH CAN CAUSE OVERHEATING AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE X-RAY
TUBE.
WARNING: ENSURE PROGRAMMING THE DUAL-SPEED STARTER IS FULLY UNDERSTOOD AND

PROPERLY DONE, BEFORE PUTTING THE GENERATOR IN SERVICE.
This section applies only to units fitted with a Dual-Speed Starter (DSS). Different settings apply
depending on the DSS board number, and subassembly/tab number installed. Check the subassembly
number and tab number (as shown in Figure 2-10A), and the board number (printed on the board)
installed in your generator and follow the steps outlined in this section to program the DSS.
2.8.1 EPROM type / dual-speed starter - applies only to DSS Board #728877-06.
1. The dual-speed starter EPROM is different for 400 V units and for 480 V units. If a 400 V unit is
reconfigured for 480 V, or a 480 V unit is reconfigured for 400 V, the dual-speed starter EPROM
will need to be changed. A spare EPROM (the complement of the EPROM that is in the dual-
speed starter) is in a bag attached to the lip on the inside of the cable access slot above the HV
module. Refer to chapter 6 for the EPROM replacement procedure, and to the table below for the
applicable EPROM part numbers.
400 VAC CONFIGURATION 480 VAC CONFIGURATION

2. If you are making the conversion as per the previous step, use an indelible marker to change the
part number of the dual-speed starter assembly (901297-XX to 901298-XX, or vice-versa). The
dual-speed starter part number is printed on the opposite side of the board assembly, at the back
of the mounting plate (see Figure 2-10A). Keeping the dual-speed starter part number current will
maintain configuration control of the product.

2.8.2 Tube type setting on DIP switch SW1 for DSS Boards #728877-06 and #903132-02
The dual-speed starter must be programmed for the X-ray tube type used at this site. This is done via DIP
switch SW1 on the dual-speed starter board.
The following tube functions are set with this switch:

High-speed start and run voltages.
Low-speed start and run voltages.
Brake time and brake voltage.
Boost times.
Boost time increments. Boost time may be increased in 100 ms steps in the range of 100 to 700 ms.
DIP switch SW1 on the dual-speed starter must be set correctly to match the X-ray tube in
use. Failure to set this correctly may result in improper anode RPM and therefore may
damage the X-ray tube.
1. Select the desired tube type from Table 2 of X-Ray Tube Stator Compatibility Tables Supplement
746026-00. Record the tube type number (housing and insert) and the binary code as per the
third column in the table. Please note that the tube compatibility applies only to the housing and
inserts listed, i.e. for the specific manufacturer(s) shown.
2. If the desired tube type is not listed, please contact CPI product support for assistance.
3. The recommended dual-speed starter used in CMP 200 DR X-ray generators will be one of the
following part numbers: 901297-02, 12, 13, 15 or 16 (400 VAC units), 901298-02, 12, 13, 15 or 16
(480 VAC units), or 906664-21, 22, 23. Refer to the X-Ray Tube Stator Compatibility Table
Supplement 746026-00.
The stated capacitor values are equivalent capacitor values, and are derived from several
combinations of relay-selected series / parallel discrete capacitors, depending on the part
number. Refer to MD-0924 and MD-1069 in chapter 9 for details.
4. To determine if the dual-speed starter contained within your generator is compatible with the
desired tube as selected in step 1, note the part number of the dual-speed starter in your
generator. This is printed on a the back of the mounting plate, opposite the board assembly (see
Figure 2-10A). This part number must appear in the last column of Table 2 in X-Ray Tube Stator
Compatibility Tables Supplement 746026-00.
2.8.2 Tube type setting on DIP switch SW1 for DSS Boards #728877-06 and #903132-02 (Cont)
5. Refer to figure 2-10. Set DIP switch SW1 with the binary code for the selected tube. The binary
code shown in the referenced Table 2 programs the tube type (housing and insert), for example
housing type Varian Sapphire with standard R stator and inserts per Table 2 requires SW1-1 to
be set ON, SW1-2 OFF, SW1-3 ON, SW1-4 OFF and SW1-5 OFF. This programs the voltages,
brake times, and boost times required.
Additionally, SW1-6 to SW1-8 may be set to give incremental increases in boost time over the
preselected values (i.e. to run an older tube with worn bearings). For example, binary 000 gives
zero increase, binary 001 gives 100 ms increase, binary 100 gives 400 ms increase, and binary
111 gives a 700 ms increase in boost time. SW1-6 represents bit 1, SW1-7 bit 2, and SW1-8
represents bit 3.
EXAMPLE:
Binary 100 = decimal 4 = 400 ms incremental boost time increase:
1 0 0
Bit 3 Bit 2 Bit 1
SW1-8 SW1-7 SW1-6
6. The DIP switch setting shown in figure 2-10 is for the example in step 5 with an incremental
increase in boost time of 200 ms.
7. Please confirm all settings to ensure proper anode RPM. Before making any exposures,
use any of the following:
1) An accelerometer and an oscilloscope with Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) feature or
2) An accelerometer and a spectrum analyzer to verify anode rotation speed or
3) A suitable tachometer that is capable of measuring the anode rotation speed.
or
Follow the tube's manufacturer's recommendation for verifying anode speed, if
available.
NOTE: FOR TUBES WHERE LOW SPEED OPERATION ONLY IS INDICATED, THE DUAL-
SPEED STARTER MUST BE PROGRAMMED FOR LOW SPEED ONLY, AND WHERE
HIGH SPEED OPERATION ONLY IS INDICATED, THE DUAL-SPEED STARTER MUST BE

2.8.3 Programming DIP switch SW3 for DSS Board #903132-xx
DIP switch SW3 on the dual-speed starter must be set correctly. Failure to do this may result
in improper anode RPM and therefore may damage the X-ray tube.
The dual-speed starter must be programmed to match the input voltage to the generator and the phase
shift capacitors connected to the board. The phase shift capacitor configuration is identified by a label
located on the back of the DSS panel. This programming is done by setting SW3
1) Power Main Line Input Setting
CAUTION: ENSURE THAT SW3-8 SETTING MATCHES THE LINE INPUT VOLTAGE, WHICH
SHOULD MATCH THE AUXILIARY TRANSFORMER LINE VOLTAGE TAP SELECTION

2.8.4 Inspecting DIP switch SW8 setting for DSS Board #903132-xx
DIP switch SW8 on the dual-speed starter must be set correctly. Failure to do this may result
in damage to the X-ray tube or generator.
SW8 is set at the factory. Adjustment of this switch is not required. However it is recommended to
inspect the switch to verify that it is set properly before proceeding further. The settings are as follows:
SW8 - switches 1,2,3,4,6,7 - OFF
SW8 - switches 5,8 - ON
NOTE: ONLY CHECK THE SWITCH SETTINGS OF DIP SWITCH SW8. MAKING ADJUSTMENTS
DIFFERENT FROM THE ABOVE SETTING WILL RESULT IN IMPROPER ANODE RPM
WHICH CAN CAUSE OVERHEATING AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE X-RAY TUBE.
2.8.5 Configuring dual-speed starter 901297-15 / 901298-15
Dual-speed starter part number 901297-15 / 901298-15 is a special configuration in which the low-speed
phase shift capacitors may be set to 15.5 uF or 28 uF. The 15.5 uF setting is intended for use in
installations where low-speed operation of CGR (GE) Statorix tubes is required. The high-speed
capacitance is automatically selected to either 3 uF or 6 uF according to the DIP switch setting.
Refer to figure 2-11. In configuration A, (28 uF) two leads are connected to the lower right capacitor.
Thus, the capacitor is in-circuit in this configuration. Configuration B (15.5 uF) has one of the leads
removed from the terminals of this capacitor, thus the capacitor is out of the circuit.
To change from configuration A to B, disconnect the interconnecting lower lead from the lower left
capacitor in figure 2-11, and connect it to the same terminal on the lower right. This removes the
lower right capacitor from the circuit.
To change from configuration B to A in figure 2-11, reconnect the lead between the two capacitors,
as shown. This connects the capacitor into the circuit.
After the phase shift capacitors are correctly configured, set the DIP switches as follows:
Locate the desired tube in table 2 of supplement 746026, which follows Chapter 2. With dual-speed
starter 901297-15 / 901298-15 set to configuration A, this starter is compatible with all tubes
requiring a 3 uF or 6 uF high-speed shift capacitor (unless indicated otherwise) and a 28, 30 or 31 uF
low-speed shift capacitor. When set to configuration B, it is only compatible with tubes requiring a 3
uF or 6 uF high-speed shift capacitor (unless indicated otherwise) and a 15.5 uF low-speed shift
capacitor.
Note the DIP switch setting for the desired tube as per table 2.
Set the DIP switches as per 2.8.2.

2.10.0 INITIAL RUN-UP
This section describes the procedure for auxiliary transformer line voltage tap selection, and for initial
power-on of the generator after it has first been installed.
PLEASE OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING POINTS REGARDING THE MAIN DISTRIBUTION

TRANSFORMER:
IF USING A DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMER WITH AN ISOLATED SECONDARY, THE
SECONDARY WINDING MUST BE A WYE (STAR) CONFIGURATION WITH THE CENTER
POINT GROUND-REFERENCED. DO NOT USE A DELTA-CONFIGURED SECONDARY, AS
THERE IS NO GROUND REFERENCE IN THIS CONFIGURATION.
IF USING AN AUTOTRANSFORMER TYPE DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMER, THE A.C.
INPUT TO THE TRANSFORMER MUST BE GROUND-REFERENCED.
2.10.1 Auxiliary Transformer Line Voltage Tap Selection
For 208 / 230 V generators, the line voltage taps on the auxiliary transformer must be checked before
powering up the generator.
For 400 / 480 V generators, the auxiliary transformer line voltage tap is factory set to match the line
voltage that was specified at the time of the order. If these units are to be operated from other than the
rated line voltage (i.e. if a 400 V generator is to be operated from 480 V mains), the line voltage tap on
the auxiliary transformer must be changed as described below.
For 208 / 230 VAC generators:

1. Verify that the mains voltage and current capacity is correct for the generator installation per
Generator Power Requirements in chapter 1.
2. Locate the auxiliary transformer inside the generator cabinet. Refer to chapter 1.
2.10.1 Auxiliary Transformer Line Voltage Tap Selection (Cont)

3. Note the line-voltage tap position on this transformer as determined by the location of the wire on
the 208V or the 240V tap on the transformer primary. This is normally set to the 240V tap. Refer
to figure 2-12.
4. Based on the nominal line voltage, set the transformer primary voltage tap as follows:
Loosen the clamping screws for the current line-voltage tap, and for the required line-voltage
tap.
Connect to the 208 V tap if the line voltage is 215 VAC or less.
Connect to the 240 V tap if the line voltage is 216 VAC or higher.
Retighten both of the clamping screws.
Figure 2-12: Auxiliary transformer, terminal view
For 400 / 480 VAC generators:

The 400 / 480 V tap setting only needs to be changed if a 400 V generator is to be operated from 480 V
mains, or if a 480 V generator is to be operated from 400 V.
1. Verify that the mains voltage and current capacity is correct for the generator installation per
GENERATOR POWER REQUIREMENTS in chapter 1.
2. Locate the auxiliary transformer inside the generator cabinet. Refer to chapter 1.
3. Note the line-voltage tap position on this transformer as determined by the location of the wire on
the 400V or the 480V tap on the transformer primary. This is set to the 400 or 480V tap to match
the line voltage specified at the time of the order. Refer to figure 2-12.
CAUTION: ENSURE THAT DIP SWITCH SW3-8 SETTING ON THE DUAL-SPEED STARTER
BOARD (903132-02) IS SET ACCORDING TO SECTION 2.8.3 OF THIS DOCUMENT,
WHICH SHOULD MATCH THE LINE VOLTAGE AND THE SETTING OF THE
AUXILIARY TRANSFORMER TAP SELECTED HERE.
2.10.1 Auxiliary Transformer Line Voltage Tap Selection (Cont)
4. Based on the nominal line voltage, set the transformer primary voltage tap as follows:
Loosen the clamping screws for the current line-voltage tap, and for the required line-voltage
tap.
Connect to the 400 V tap if the line voltage is nominally 400 VAC.
Connect to the 480 V tap if the line voltage is nominally 480 VAC.
Retighten both of the clamping screws.
2.10.2 Initial Voltage Measurements
1. If the mains supply is compatible with the generator, switch on the main breaker and / or the
disconnect switch and check for the following voltages:
NOTE: DO NOT SWITCH THE GENERATOR ON AT THIS TIME (ONLY THE AC MAINS TO
THE GENERATOR IS TO BE SWITCHED ON).
WARNING: USE EXTREME CARE IN MEASURING THESE VOLTAGES. ACCIDENTAL CONTACT

WITH MAINS VOLTAGES MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
MAINS VOLTAGE WILL BE PRESENT INSIDE THE GENERATOR CABINET, EVEN
WITH THE CONSOLE SWITCHED OFF.
THE DC BUS CAPACITORS MAY PRESENT A SAFETY HAZARD FOR A MINIMUM
OF 5 MINUTES AFTER THE GENERATOR HAS BEEN SWITCHED OFF. CHECK
THAT THESE CAPACITORS ARE DISCHARGED BEFORE TOUCHING ANY PARTS
IN THE GENERATOR.
2. Measure and record the voltage across the main line fuses in the generator. Single-phase units
will only use one set of voltage measurements.
L1 phase to L2 phase: ______ VAC. L1 phase to ground: ______ VAC.

3. Are the line-to-line and line-to-ground voltages within specification for the unit? For single phase
230 V units, the line to ground voltage should be 99 127 V. For 3 phase units, the phase to
ground voltage should be 114 146 V for 208 / 230 V units, 230 V 10 % for 400 V units, and
277 V 10 % for 480 V units.
___ Check
4. Confirm that the auxiliary transformer line voltage taps are set to the appropriate position as per
the measured line voltage.
___ Check
5. For units fitted with the optional dual-speed starter board 728877-06: if a 400 V unit is
reconfigured for 480 V, or a 480 V unit is reconfigured for 400 V, the dual-speed starter EPROM
will need to be changed as described in the section EPROM type / dual-speed starter. Confirm
that this has been done.
___ Check
For units fitted with the optional dual-speed starter board 903132-xx, the line input voltage is
sensed automatically by the board and no component needs to be changed.
2.11.0 TUBE mA AUTO CALIBRATION
It is recommended that the generator be tested at this point with only the X-ray tube and rotor / high-
tension cables connected. The generator should be able to complete an X-ray tube seasoning and
calibration cycle without other equipment connected to the generator (other than the basic interlocks as
noted below). This will allow for easier fault isolation as each section of the system is connected and
tested.
Before being able to make X-ray exposures, the room door interlock must be closed and the thermal
switch must be closed. The interlocks cannot be deprogrammed during tube mA auto calibration.
It is recommended that the tube(s) be conditioned (seasoned) before beginning tube auto calibration,
particularly if the tube has not been used for some time. Refer to chapter 6.
Before beginning tube auto calibration, the tube(s) used in this installation must be properly selected, and
the generator limits should be programmed. Refer to chapter 3C.
2.12.0 FINAL CHECKS
The room interface connections may now be completed. These items are described in 2.6.8.
When finished all wiring, check that all connections are tight and secure.
Check that all cables are dressed neatly inside the main cabinet, and secured as necessary.
Reconnect any grounds that have been removed from covers. Then reinstall all covers before placing
the generator into service.
For units with the touchscreen console, perform touchscreen calibration. Refer to chapter 3C for the
proper calibration procedure.
NOTE: THE INSTALLER SHOULD ENSURE THAT ALL CABLE CONNECTIONS TO THE
GENERATOR ARE SECURE, AND ALL CABLES EXTERNAL TO THE GENERATOR
ARE ADEQUATELY PROTECTED AGAINST ACCIDENTAL DISCONNECTION.

X-Ray Tube Stator Compatibility Tables CPI Canada Inc
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This supplement contains the X-Ray Tube Stator Compatibility Tables for the Low Speed Starter (LSS)
and the Dual Speed Starter (DSS).
2.0 LOW SPEED STARTER TUBE SELECT TABLE
Indico IQ Generators Only
The Low Speed Starter (LSS) synthesizes its output frequencies independently of the line frequency and
will operate most tubes at 60 Hz, as indicated in Table 1.
Unless indicated otherwise within Table 1, setting the switches to the code indicated for the applicable
Tube Type selects all required operating parameters. The Low Speed Starter part number corresponds to
the configuration of phase-shift capacitors installed.
Reference notes are provided at the end of Table 1. Tube operating parameters for each switch code are
contained in Table 3 for reference.
Indico 100 Generators Only
The boost voltage may be set to either 240 VAC (factory default) or 120 VAC. This should be set to 240
VAC, except where specifically noted in Table 1 below. The Low Speed Starter output is at the same
frequency as the AC line (50 Hz or 60 Hz).
The Low Speed Starter is a separate sub-assembly within the Indico 100 Generator. The LSS part number
corresponds to the value of phase-shift capacitor incorporated within this sub-assembly. The boost time is
selectable to either 1.5 seconds or 2.5 seconds, and the run voltage is selectable to any of 52 VAC,
73 VAC or 94 VAC.
CMP200 Generators Only
The boost voltage may be set to either 240 VAC (factory default) or 120 VAC. This should be set to 240
VAC, except where specifically noted in Table 1 below. The Low Speed Starter output is at the same
frequency as the AC line (50 Hz or 60 Hz).
The Low Speed Starter is integrated into the HV Auxiliary Board within the CMP 200 and CMP 200 DR
generators. The phase-shift capacitor is chassis-mounted and may be changed in the field. The LSS part
number corresponds to the value of capacitor installed. The boost time is software-configurable from the
console or GenWare. Note that these generators do not use a separate run voltage, instead cycling the
boost voltage on/off as required. The boost duty cycle is not hardware-configurable.
Mobile Generators Only
The Low Speed Starter is a separate sub-assembly within mobile generator configurations. The boost
voltage is 240 VAC at 60 Hz, boost time is 1.5 seconds, and provides a 30F phase-shift capacitor.

Toshiba Rotanode Most Toshiba x-ray tubes are identified by their E number, which is used to represent both the Tube Insert and the complete assembly. The housing
number is usually not shown on the identification label. A specific E number may be available with several different stator types, each having different
starter requirements. Furthermore, a specific stator type may require different starter requirements depending on the housing used. For ease of use, the
Toshiba tubes are sorted by Tube Insert Type (E number) within this table. The installer must confirm the stator type for the planned tube(s). If the stator
type is not identified within the Toshiba documentation, match the stator winding resistance to the appropriate table entry. Contact the factory if the
desired Tube Type and stator type / winding resistance are not listed on the same row within this table.

NOTE 1: For Indico IQ generators, the 905135-41 universal starter provides automatic selection of shift capacitance using relays located on the Low Speed
Starter board. The dedicated 905135-42, 905135-43 and 905135-44 starters provide a fixed value using a single capacitor.
NOTE 2: Where more than one Low Speed Starter part number is referenced for a particular tube type and generator combination, any of these is acceptable.
In some cases, a preferred part number is identified. For 2-tube systems using different tube types, both tube types must be considered.

NOTE 3: Comet tube inserts with the prefix DI and DX are interchangeable.
NOTE 4: Philips / Dunlee housing with the windings connected in series (low-speed / high impedance configuration).
NOTE 5: Philips / Dunlee housing with the windings connected in parallel (high-speed / low impedance configuration).
NOTE 6: Dunlee tube inserts with the prefix DU and Philips tube inserts with the prefix RO are interchangeable. Select the corresponding Philips insert type
within the Generator software if the Dunlee type is not available.
NOTE 7: Siemens (SXVT) housing with the phase-shifted windings connected in parallel (low impedance, high speed configuration).
NOTE 8: Complete Toshiba x-ray tube assemblies include the suffix X, FX, GX, or JX, which are interchangeable with respect to rotor and anode
characteristics.
NOTE 9: These X-ray tubes incorporate a control grid. Grid control is currently not supported by CPI generators. Connect the grid connection to Ground when
using these tubes, and select the insert type within the Generator software corresponding to the equivalent non-grid tube.
NOTE 10: The starter boost voltage is 120 VAC. This is not available with two-tube Indico 100 generators.

3.0 DUAL SPEED STARTER TUBE SELECT TABLE
The Dual Speed Starter (DSS) synthesizes its output frequencies independently of the line frequency and will operate all tubes at 60/180 Hz, unless a
particular tube only has published ratings to operate at 150 Hz. In this case, the starter will output 50/150 Hz when set for these tubes.
Unless indicated otherwise within Table 2, setting the switches to the code indicated for the applicable Tube Type selects all required operating parameters.
The Dual Speed Starter part number corresponds to the AC line voltage (except Indico IQ) and the configuration of phase-shift capacitors installed.
Reference notes are provided at the end of Table 2. Tube operating parameters for each switch code are contained in Table 3 for reference.

Toshiba Rotanode Most Toshiba x-ray tubes are identified by their E number, which is used to represent both the Tube Insert and the complete assembly. The housing
number is usually not shown on the identification label. A specific E number may be available with several different stator types, each having different
starter requirements. Furthermore, a specific stator type may require different starter requirements depending on the housing used. For ease of use, the
Toshiba tubes are sorted by Tube Type (E number) within this table. The installer must confirm the stator type for the planned tube(s). If the stator type is
not identified within the Toshiba documentation, match the stator winding resistance to the appropriate table entry. Contact the factory if the desired Tube
Type and stator type / winding resistance are not listed on the same line within this table.

NOTE 1: Tube types designated as low speed only or high speed only must be programmed for low speed only or high speed only operation. Refer to the section
Tube Selection within Chapter 3 of the applicable generator service manual for details. For some tubes listed as high speed only, the starter may be
capable of low speed operation but the Manufacturers data sheet for the Insert lists high speed only. In other cases, the limitation is due to operational
limitations of the Dual Speed Starter itself.
NOTE 2: Dual Speed Starter part numbers 733317-XX (Indico 100), 904556-XX (Indico IQ) and 901297-XX (CMP 200 DR) are used in 400 VAC 3 generators /
power supplies and in 480 VAC 3 generators / power supplies with a line adjusting transformer.
Dual Speed Starter part numbers 735925-XX (Indico 100), 903255-XX (Indico IQ) and 901298-XX (CMP 200 DR) are used in 230 VAC 1 generators /
power supplies and in 480 VAC 3 direct input generators / power supplies (using no line adjusting transformer).
Dual Speed Starter part numbers 906894-XX (Indico 100), 904925-XX (Indico IQ) and 906672-XX (CMP 200 DR) are used in both 400 VAC and
480 VAC 3 generators. These RoHS-compliant Starters replace the existing 73317-XX / 735925-XX series (Indico 100), 904556-XX / 903255-XX
series (Indico IQ) and 901297-XX / 901298-XX series (CMP 200 DR), and may provide a greater selection of available shift capacitance.


Where more than one Dual Speed Starter part number is referenced for a particular tube type, any of these (applicable to the generator and input voltage)
is acceptable. For 2-tube systems using different tube types, both tube types must be considered. Where available, the XXXXXX-21 starter is generally
preferred, unless otherwise indicated in the tables.
The Dual Speed Starters provide a selection of shift capacitance values for both high speed and low speed operation, as identified by the DSS part
number suffix (tab type). Unless otherwise specified, capacitor selection is made automatically by relays located on the Dual Speed Starter board.
The following table lists the capacitance values provided, along with applicable notes.

3C.1.0 INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the interfacing of the CMP 200 and CMP 200 DR X-ray generators to Bucky(s),
interlocks, room lights, a DR imaging system (if applicable), DAP, collimator lamp and tube stand locks, and
also describes the generator programming.
3C.2.0 WIRING TO INPUTS & OUTPUTS
NOTE: THE INSTALLER MUST PROVIDE THE NECESSARY INTERFACING CABLES FOR WIRING TO
THE GENERATOR INPUTS AND OUTPUTS DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION.
WARNING: LINE VOLTAGE IS PRESENT INSIDE THE GENERATOR AT ALL TIMES THAT THE MAIN
DISCONNECT IS SWITCHED ON. FOR SAFETY, THE MAIN DISCONNECT SHOULD BE
SWITCHED OFF AND LOCKED OUT WHILE CONNECTING ROOM EQUIPMENT.
3C.2.1 Inputs
The Bucky inputs, interlock 1 and interlock 2 / tomo inputs, and room door interlock inputs are opto coupled.
This means that a relay contact, transistor, or other low-impedance switching device ( 100 , 10 mA current
rating) must be connected across each of these inputs. Table 3C-1 defines the pin outs, polarity at the
terminals and the logic condition required for that input. If using a directional switching device, such as a
transistor, the polarity of the voltage seen by the switching device must be observed. This is shown in the table
below.
Refer also to figure 3C-1. This is a pictorial drawing of the J2, J4, and J11 inputs and outputs on the H.V.
auxiliary board.
Refer to 3C.2.4 for details on AEC connections.
WARNING: DO NOT DEFEAT THE ROOM DOOR INTERLOCK, OR THE INTERLOCK 1 AND 2 INPUTS
UNLESS THE CORRESPONDING DEVICE IS NOT PRESENT. CONSULT THE
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS BEFORE DISABLING ANY EXPOSURE INTERLOCKS. DO
NOT VIOLATE ANY REGULATIONS FOR X-RAY SAFETY.
NEVER BYPASS THE X-RAY TUBE THERMAL SWITCH INTERLOCK.
OBSERVE IONIZING RADIATION PERSONAL PROTECTION AT ALL TIMES.
NOTE: THE BUCKY 1 AND TOMO / BUCKY 2 OUTPUTS MAY BE INSTALLER-

PROGRAMMED. BUCKY 1 WILL NORMALLY BE PROGRAMMED TO
CORRESPOND TO THE TABLE BUCKY, AND BUCKY 2 WILL NORMALLY
BE PROGRAMMED FOR THE WALL BUCKY OR FOR TOMO.

Table 3C-2: Generator outputs
3C.2.2 Outputs (Cont)
NOTE: The generator is factory configured to supply 110 VAC to drive the Buckys. The Bucky outputs may be
reconfigured to supply 24 VDC or 220 VAC if required, as described in chapter 8. Please confirm
compatibility with the Buckys used in this installation before proceeding. For tomo operation, the
applicable Bucky outputs must be programmed as necessary.
The BUCKY 1 START and TOMO / BUCKY 2 START relays K1 and K3 on the H.V. auxiliary board have
provisions for R-C snubber circuits to be connected across these relays. For older Buckys that typically
have relay inputs, the R-C snubber circuits usually need to be connected. These snubbers attenuate the
dV/dT transients that are generated when the corresponding relay in the Bucky opens.
For newer Buckys with opto-coupler inputs, the R-C snubber circuits across relays K1 and K3 on the
H.V. auxiliary board should remain disconnected, as the leakage current through the R-C snubber can be
sufficient to energize the opto-couplers in the Bucky(s) when the corresponding relays on the H.V
auxiliary board are open.
FOR OLDER BUCKYS WITH RELAY INPUTS:

Refer to the table below and to MD-0930 in chapter 9. The required resistors (R2, R15) must be
installed to complete the R-C snubber circuit.
FOR NEWER BUCKYS WITH OPTO-COUPLER INPUTS:

No action required. Resistors R2 and R15 are NOT factory installed, therefore the R-C snubber is
open-circuit. It is the responsibility of the installer to provide the proper interfacing circuits to the
opto coupler(s) in these types of installations.
The resistors that must be installed to complete the R-C snubber circuits across K1 and K3 on the H.V.
auxiliary board are shown below. Kits with these resistors are available from CPI Product Support. The kit part
number is 90301600.
RELAY RESISTOR NOTE
K1 R2 (10 ohm 1/2 W carbon composition) R2 is not factory-installed.
K3 R15 (10 ohm 1/2 W carbon composition) R15 is not factory-installed.

3C.2.4 AEC Interconnect
Refer to chapter 3D for an overview of AEC theory, for AEC chamber connections, and for the AEC calibration
procedure.
3C.2.5 DR imaging system
CMP 200 DR X-ray generators are factory-configured to interface with one or more DR imaging systems.
Refer to the compatibility statement in chapter 1 to determine which DR imaging system(s) this model of
generator is compatible with. The DR imaging system is connected to 37-pin D connector J25 on the
generator control board. The corresponding digital imaging supplement will be included in the front of
this manual. Refer to that supplement for the installation and setup procedure of the DR imaging
system.
3C.3.0 GENERATOR PROGRAMMING
If you are using a membrane console, the generator may be programmed and calibrated via the control
console or via GenWare MP (PC). When using the console for programming and calibration, all programming
/ calibration menus are displayed on the LCD display window on the console. The soft key buttons on the
console are used to navigate through the programming screens and to select and enter values in this section.
When using the touchscreen console, the generator must be programmed and calibrated via
GenWare MP (touchscreen). This requires the GenWare utility software, which can be accessed via

select receptors, focus, technique, film screen, AEC fields, etc.
YES allows the operator to select all of the above EXCEPT the technique selection
(AEC, mAs, mA/ms) i.e. this disables the ability to select AEC, mAs, mA/ms in APR
mode. (AEC, mAs, mA/ms changes can only be made by selecting an APR technique
that has been programmed to the desired technique).
LOAD CONSOLE YES: Initializes the console CPUs NVRAM to the factory default settings when the
DEFAULTS? generator is switched ON. This restores the factory defaults for the APR and the
CONSOLE settings.
NO: The NVRAM is not reset when the generator is switched on.
The normal setting for this function is NO. Do not set to YES unless you intend
to restore the console factory defaults. Doing so will cause all custom console
and APR settings to be lost.

The CMP 200 consoles have a preloaded library of compatible X-ray tubes. In addition to the preloaded tube
files, various user-selectable tubes can be uploaded to the console via the GenWare console utilities.
For the membrane console, if no user-selectable tube files have been uploaded, the first page of the tube
selection screens will be titled DEFAULT TUBE 1 SEL. This page will list the first eight preloaded tubes.
Additional preloaded tube types will be listed on subsequent pages.
For the membrane console, if user-selectable tube files have been uploaded, the first page of the tube
selection screens will be titled USER TUBE 1 SELECT. This page will contain a maximum of eight tubes,
which is the maximum number of user-selectable tube files that can be uploaded to the console. Preloaded
tube types will be listed on subsequent pages.
If user-selectable tube file(s) are uploaded to the console and if these file(s) are of a newer revision than
existing preloaded tube files, the latest user-uploaded files will not overwrite similar (possibly older) files on

The dual speed starter operates at 60 or 180 Hz (50 or 150 Hz for some tube types) independent of line
frequency.
The low speed starter operates at 50 Hz for 50 Hz mains, or 60 Hz for 60 Hz mains. The generator samples
the line frequency via a zero-crossing detector on the generator control board. Therefore, for units fitted with a
low speed starter, the generator automatically derates the 60 Hz tube ratings for 50 Hz operation if required.
PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE ANY DEFAULTS UNLESS THE IMPACT OF THOSE CHANGES IS CLEARLY
UNDERSTOOD. INITIAL CALIBRATION SHOULD BE PERFORMED USING THE DEFAULT VALUES.

The inputs and outputs defined in the previous table are programmable as follows:
Inputs may be programmed such that the selected input is active or inactive during various states of the
generator. Inactive inputs are ignored; unused inputs should normally be programmed to be inactive.
Outputs may be programmed such that the relay connected to the selected output is energized or de-
energized during various states of the generator. Unused outputs should normally be programmed to be
de-energized.
The inputs and outputs must be programmed separately for each receptor. Each receptor may have its
own unique programming.
MEMBRANE CONSOLE
The STATE button on the upper right hand side of the menu selects the current state. The word STATE is
preceded by the description of the state: for example, STANDBY.
The arrow in the lower middle area points to the current level for the selected state. Moving to the next
state is accomplished by pressing the STATE button. The states are as follows:
STANDBY Sets the state of the I/O when the generator is in standby or idle mode.
PREP Sets the state of the I/O when the generator enters PREP mode.
GEN RDY Sets the state of the I/O when the generator has completed PREP mode and is
ready to expose.
RAD EXP Sets the state of the I/O when the generator starts a radiographic exposure.
Pressing the button next to the selected input or output on the left of the display selects that function. The level
of the selected state is changed by pressing the selection button again (low = off / inactive, high = on / active).
For inputs, setting the level low means that the input is ignored during that state. Setting the level
high requires that the corresponding input is satisfied before the generator will advance to that state. For
example, if the door interlock (DOOR ITLK) is set to logic low for all states, then an X-ray exposure may be
made without a door interlock closure.
Setting an output level low causes the relay associated with that output to be de-energized during the
selected state. Setting the level high will cause the associated relay to be energized during the selected
state. For example, the Bucky 1 start output will be disabled if BKY 1 START is set to low for all states.

On the Inputs and Outputs tabs, the generator states are shown above the vertical grey / white bars. For
inputs, grey indicates states where the input cannot be programmed. Only states that are shown in white can
be changed. Outputs are programmable for each of the four generator states.
The logic level of the selected state is changed by clicking in the desired state column, to the right of the
selected input or output (unchecked = off / inactive, checked = on / active).
For inputs, an unchecked state means that the input is ignored during that state. A checked state
(marked with an X) requires that the corresponding input be satisfied before the generator will advance to that
state.
For outputs, an unchecked state causes the relay associated with that output to be de-energized
during the selected state. A checked state (marked with an X) will cause the associated relay to be energized
during the selected state.

enabled. Invalid APRs may result due to GenWare downloads - as APRs are not validated within
GenWare - or previously valid APRs may become invalid if generator limits or setup parameters are
subsequently changed.
Invalid parameters and techniques may be corrected after the APR validator has completed its
validation checks.
NOTE: The APR validator is not available if CM thickness mode is enabled. If the APR validator is
selected with CM thickness mode turned on, a message will be displayed indicating that CM

(receptor 1). Next will be large focus (receptor 2), then small focus (receptor 2), etc until all APRs
associated with all image receptors are exhausted.

8. The display at the top right of the LCD display (0 46 in the example) denotes the following:
The first number (0) indicates the number of APR items above the visible list on the current
display. In the example above there are 0 items above the visible list, meaning that the list of
failed APRs is at the top of the page.
The second number (46) refers to the number of failed APRs that are below the top of the
page. In the example above 46 items are below the top of the list. Four failed APRs are
shown, therefore there are another 42 listings that are not shown.
Scrolling up or down as described in the next step will show the failed APRs that are not
displayed in the current list.
9. To scroll up and down the list of failed APRs, if there are more than four items listed:
To scroll up in the list, press the soft key button [7].
To scroll down in the list, press the soft key button [8].
Refer to the figure Programming / calibration mode reference near the front of this chapter for
the location of the referenced buttons.
10. To edit a failed APR:
Select the APR to be edited using the adjacent soft key button [1] to [4] per the figure
Programming / calibration mode reference near the front of this chapter. The selected APR
will be highlighted in PREVIEW MODE as per the figure below.
The parameters and techniques that are currently requested by the selected APR will be
shown (63 kV, 320 mA, 1280 mAs, 100 ms in the example below). The anatomical region that
is the parent of the selected anatomical view is displayed at the top left of the LCD display.
Select EDIT to edit the selected APR.

11. In EDIT mode (the console will be in EDIT mode after the EDIT button is pressed).
The console will attempt to change the value(s) that caused the APR validation to fail. For
example, if the generator is set to maximum mA = 200 mA and the selected APR is requesting
360 mA, the console will then reduce the maximum mA to under 200 mA.
Another example of a failed APR is an anatomical view that is programmed for AEC. If the
APR is programmed to select an image receptor that has AEC channel 0 assigned to it (no
AEC), then the APR validator will display the error message 49 NOT ENABLED. In this case,
either the selected receptor must be programmed for AEC or the APR must be reprogrammed
such that it does not select AEC.
Select SAVE if the revised parameters and techniques are acceptable. The message
SAVING APR DATA will be briefly displayed. Do not turn the power off while the data is
being saved, as doing so will corrupt the entire APR database.
APRs that have been fixed will be removed from the list of failed APRs.
The console will validate the remaining patient sizes within the same anatomical view after
each save. These will also be removed from the list of failed APRs if applicable.
To exit the EDIT mode without making any changes, press one of the soft key buttons [1] to
[4] that is associated with a failed APR.

3C.12.0 DAP CALIBRATION
The DAP device must be calibrated before use, and the calibration must be periodically checked as per the
DAP device manufacturers requirements, or as per local regulations.
3C12.1 Equipment Required
The following equipment is required for DAP calibration.

An X-ray cassette and film. The speed of the film / screen is not relevant, as the film is only used to
determine the area that is irradiated at the dose-measurement plane.
An X-ray cassette and film is the preferred method to measure the irradiated area, but if this is not readily
available, for example if this is a digital only system, a procedure is given to determine the required area
using the imaging system.
A film processor to develop the film, if required.
A calibrated dosimeter.
A ruler or tape measure with centimeter markings. This will be needed to measure the exposed area of the
film. If measuring in inches, use a calculator and multiply inches by 2.54 to obtain the measurement in
centimeters.
3C.12.2 DAP Calibration Overview
The first step involved in calibrating the DAP meter in the generator is to carefully make a dose measurement
at a given distance from the X-ray source. The next step is to expose a test film at the same distance from the
X-ray source as the dose measurement that was just made.
The dose-area product is calculated by multiplying the measured dose, in mGy, by the exposed area of the
film, in cm2. This gives the actual dose-area product, in mGycm2.
After the reference dose-area product is determined as described above, it is compared to the DAP reading as
measured by the generator. Adjustments are made to the CAL. VALUE 1 parameter in the DAP SETUP menu
such that the consoles DAP display corresponds to the calculated dose-area product. This procedure may
need to be repeated several times until the required accuracy is obtained.
The reason the DAP device (a specialized ion chamber) is able to accurately measure the dose-area product
at its location at the bottom of the collimator is that although the radiation level falls off at a rate inversely
proportional to the square of the distance from the source, the irradiated area increases as the square of the
distance from the source. For example, by doubling the distance, the dose falls to ()2 = of the previous
dose BUT the area increases to 22 = 4 times the area. Therefore, the dose-area product will remain constant
at a given distance from the source. This is also the reason that care must be taken to ensure that the area
measurement is done at the same distance from the X-ray source as the dose measurement.

3C.12.3 DAP Calibration Procedure (Cont)
Use these steps to calibrate the DAP meter(s) in the generator.

Step Action
1. Set up the dosimeter as per figure 3C-19. The probe should be centered relative to the
central ray from the X-ray tube, and sufficiently far off the tabletop to minimize scatter
radiation. Do not use any absorber during this procedure.
2. Open the collimator such that the field size at the location of the probe is approximately 12
cm X 12 cm. Ensure that the probe is fully irradiated.
3. Enter the DAP SETUP menu.
4. Set the generator to 70 kV, 100 mA, 20 ms.
5. Press DAP to access the RESET / TEST /PRINT menu, then press RESET to reset the DAP
display to zero. The DAP will reset to zero, then the generator will return to the DAP SETUP
menu.
6. Make an X-ray exposure and note the dose per the dosimeter. Record the mR or mGy value
in a copy of table 3C-4. Convert the mR value to mGy, if necessary.
7. Note the DAP value as displayed on the console, and record the value in a copy of table 3C-
4.
8. Replace the dosimeter with an X-ray cassette and film if available. The film plane must be at
the same location as the dosimeter was in step 8.
If using an image sensor such as an I.I., or flat panel, or other non-film image sensor, the
image pickup plane must be at the same location as the dosimeter was in step 8.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS STEP CANNOT BE OVERSTATED: THE IRRADIATED
AREA MEASUREMENT MUST BE MADE AT A POINT THAT IS THE SAME DISTANCE
FROM THE X-RAY SOURCE AS THE DOSE WAS MEASURED AT.
9. Ensure that the collimator field at the measurement plane is smaller than the active area of
the image pick-up device (film, I.I., or other). Refer to figure 3C-20.
Do not readjust the collimator from the setting that was used in step 8.
10. Make another exposure using the same settings as in step 6.
11. Develop the film (if used).
12. Measure the irradiated image area. For film, measure the length and width of the exposed
area, and record the results in table 3C-4. Refer to figure 3C-20.
If using a digital imaging system, some systems have a cursor available that allows
measurement of the length and width of the area in question. If the digital imaging system
does not allow image size measurement, it is suggested that an X-ray opaque item of known
dimensions be placed at the image plane. (A collimator test tool would be useful in this
application). The length and width of the irradiated area can then be extrapolated by
comparison to the size of the reference object. Record the length and width of the irradiated
area at the measurement plane in table 3C-4.
13. Calculate the irradiated image area, in cm2. Use the length and width recorded in table 3C-4.
14. Calculate the dose-area product by multiplying the area from table 3C-4 X the dose in mGy
from table 3C-4. Record the resulting value at step 3 in table 3C-4.
15. Calculate the percentage error between the manually calculated DAP measurement (table
3C-4, step 3) and the measured DAP value (table 3C-4, step 4). Record the percentage
error in step 5 of the table.
16. If the displayed DAP reading does not meet the required accuracy, increase or decrease
CAL. VALUE 1 (membrane console) or Calibration Value (DAP Device Type 1) for
GenWare by the same percentage as the percentage error.
17. Repeat steps 7 to 16 until the required accuracy is obtained. Make as many copies of table
3C-4 as required to record the results from all required iterations.

3D.2.5 Precalibration Notes
Please note the following points before beginning AEC calibration.
CAUTION: THE PROCEDURES IN THESE SECTIONS REQUIRE X-RAY EXPOSURES. TAKE ALL
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT PERSONNEL FROM X-RADIATION.
SHOULD AN IMPROPER TECHNIQUE BE SELECTED, OR AN AEC FAULT OCCUR CAUSING NO

AEC FEEDBACK SIGNAL TO THE GENERATOR, THE EXPOSURE WILL TERMINATE AND AN AEC
DEVICE ERR / AEC FEEDBACK ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE DISPLAYED IF THE RAMP VOLTAGE
FAILS TO REACH 4% OF THE EXPECTED RAMP VOLTAGE WHEN THE EXPOSURE TIME REACHES
20% OF THE SELECTED BACKUP TIME.
When using a photo diode for AEC, there is normally no need to iterate all the kV breakpoints during
AEC calibration. It will usually suffice to use the 75 kV breakpoint calibration value at all kV
breakpoints. If doing this, the calibration values should be confirmed at all kV breakpoints using the
acquired digital images.
For DR applications, the AEC calibration procedure uses the same potentiometers and menus as
described for film in the following sections. However, the imaging system manufacturers literature
should be consulted to determine the required dose / image brightness.
The generator must be known to be calibrated before beginning AEC calibration.
All components (X-ray tubes, collimators, AEC chambers, etc) used during AEC calibration must be
those that will be used during procedures, and must be positioned as they will be in actual use of
the X-ray room.
During AEC calibration, always ensure that the central ray is centered relative to the image receptor.
Before placing the absorbers, ensure that the collimator is opened sufficiently to irradiate ALL fields
on the AEC pickup device.
Ensure that the absorber is positioned to fully cover the X-ray field. The absorber must extend a
minimum of 3/8 in. (10 mm) beyond the X-ray field.
During AEC calibration, all AEC exposures should be done using mA values such that the
exposures are in the 30 to 100 ms range UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE.
The recommended absorber is water. This should be in a plastic container of uniform thickness.
Lexan of a similar thickness is also a suitable absorber.
Care must be exercised when using table Buckys with low kV values because most tabletops and
grids absorb considerable radiation in the 60 65 kV range. This will adversely affect AEC
operation.
During AEC calibration, if exposure times do not change if the mA is varied, it may be that
the input signal level to the AEC board is too high. If this is experienced, check the ramp
voltage at the output of the first gain stage (the first operational amplifier output) on the AEC
board for the subject AEC channel. This voltage must never exceed 10 V. If this voltage does
exceed 10 V, reduce the input signal level as required.
3D.2.6 Required Test Equipment
The following test equipment is required for AEC calibration.

Lexan or equivalent (or water) absorbers in various thicknesses. Water should be in a plastic container
of uniform thickness.
Radiation dosimeter for digital applications.
A supply of film in each film speed that will be calibrated.
A cassette with intensifying screen in each speed that will be calibrated.

NOTE: For SIDs other than 40 in. (100 cm) multiply the mAs by the factor [new SID / 40 in. (100 cm)] .

Record the final measurements in a copy of the table below. The final measurements are those obtained
AFTER films have been developed to verify the correct O.D. at each breakpoint.

Step Action
35. Repeat steps 26 to 34 for the remaining breakpoints: 50 kV, 65 kV, 110 kV, 130 kV, 85 kV, and
95 kV. Do the breakpoint calibration in the stated order.
The 50 kV and 130 kV breakpoints only need to be calibrated if these kV ranges are used
with AEC. Refer to the comments below.
50 kV: At approximately 50 kV and under, the film screen sensitivity becomes too low for
practical AEC operation when used with a Bucky. Unless special techniques are used
which require the 50 kV range, simply enter the 55 kV calibration number into the 50 kV
breakpoint.
130 kV: Unless special high kV techniques are used which require the 130 kV range, simply
enter the 110 kV calibration number into the 130 kV breakpoint.
36. Repeat steps 9 to 35 for FILM SCREEN 2, except:
1. Film screen 2 must be the next highest film speed after film screen 1.
2. When calibrating the 75 kV breakpoint for film screen 2, DO NOT adjust the AEC
board gain pot. Dose adjustments for film screen 2 at 75 kV must only be made by
varying the 75 kV breakpoint calibration numbers.
37. Repeat steps 9 to 35 for FILM SCREEN 3, except:
1. Film screen 3 must be the highest film speed.
2. When calibrating the 75 kV breakpoint for film screen 3, DO NOT adjust the AEC
board gain pot. Dose adjustments for film screen 3 at 75 kV must only be made by
varying the 75 kV breakpoint calibration numbers.

CALIBRATION menu.

3D.4.0 SHORT AEC TIME COMPENSATION
Use these steps to perform the short AEC exposure time compensation.
Step Action
THESE STEPS ONLY APPLY IF AEC EXPOSURES LESS THAN APPROXIMATELY 15 MS
ARE REQUIRED AND THE AEC BOARD HAS SHORT AEC TIME ADJUSTMENT
POTENTIOMETERS.
1. Select the image receptor to be short AEC-time compensated, i.e. table Bucky.
2. Select the highest film speed used on the selected receptor, and then select 75 kV.
3. Set the mA per table 3D-8 for the film speed being used. Reinstall the absorber as per table
3D-8 for the 75 kV breakpoint.
4. Make an exposure and confirm the mAs readings as previously recorded in table 3D-9.
5. Increase the mA such as to decrease the AEC exposure time to approximately 10 ms.
6. Adjust the short AEC time compensation pot for the AEC channel being calibrated such that the
mAs is approximately the same as previously recorded (step 4).
7. Increase the mA again such as to decrease the AEC exposure time to approximately 6 ms (but
not less).
8. Adjust the short AEC time compensation pot for the AEC channel being calibrated such that the
mAs is approximately the same as it was in step 6.
9. The short AEC-time compensation adjustments affect the AEC calibration at longer exposure
times. Therefore, it may now be necessary to readjust the gain pot (at 75 kV) for the AEC
channel being calibrated to restore the mAs values to the values previously recorded in table
3D-9. Ensure that the absorber thickness and mA values are as per table 3D-8 when
readjusting the AEC gain pot.
10. Using 75 kV exposures, films should be exposed and developed, and the O.D. checked at AEC
exposure times of approximately 6 ms and approximately 100 ms. If the film density is not
acceptable at both short and long AEC exposure times, it will be necessary to iterate the
adjustments of both the short AEC time compensation pot and the AEC gain pot by repeating
steps 3 to 8.
11. Repeat steps 1 to 10 for each image receptor (AEC channel) to be short AEC time
compensated.

3D.5.0 AEC DENSITY CALIBRATION (Cont)
Figure 3D-7: AEC Setup & Calibration window, Density tab
Please note the following points regarding density calibration:

Up to eight density plus and eight density minus steps are available. If 8 density steps are not
required, the unwanted density steps may be deprogrammed per the procedure below. For example, if
only 5 density steps are desired, then density steps 6, 7, and 8 may be deprogrammed.
Once the desired number of density steps are known, the relative minimum and maximum mAs values
must be determined. Typically, the minimum density step will result in half (50%) of the nominal mAs
(dose) and the maximum density step will typically give double (100% increase) the nominal mAs
(dose). The nominal mAs is the value that was recorded at 0 density in table 3D-9.
The relative mAs change per density step must be determined next. To do this, note the relative
minimum and maximum mAs as determined above (i.e. 50% at min density and 100% increase at max
density), then calculate the number of - density steps and the number of + density steps that will be
required.
The relative mAs change between density steps will then be the minimum density (i.e. 50) divided
by the number of density minus steps or the maximum density (i.e. 100) divided by the number of
density plus steps. This will yield the required mAs increment for each density minus step and for each
density plus step respectively.
For 8 density steps, this gives a mAs decrease of 6.25% per density minus step (8 steps x 6.25%
per step = 50% mAs at -8 density) or a mAs increase of 12.5% per density plus step (8 steps x 12.5%
per step = 100% mAs increase at +8 density).

Refer to table 3D-10 for two typical examples of density steps vs. calibration numbers. For 8 minus density
steps the mAs decrease is 6.25% per step, and for 8 + density steps the mAs increase is 12.5% per step as
per the example calculation above.
For 5 minus density steps the mAs decrease is 10% per step, and for 5 + density steps the mAs increase is
20% per step.

Figure 3D-8: Equipment setup for wall Bucky AEC calibration
Please note the following points regarding wall Bucky calibration:

If the wall Bucky is dedicated to chest radiography, a focused grid with a 10:1 or 12:1 ratio should be
used along with an SID of 72 in. (180 cm).
If the wall Bucky will be used for conventional as well as chest radiography, then two grids should ideally
be used. See the note on the next page.
A reasonable compromise if a single grid must be used is a 10:1 ratio, 60 in. (150 cm) grid.
NOTE: SINCE MOST WALL BUCKYS ARE USED AT 40 AND 72 IN. (100 AND 180 CM) SID, THE GRID
MUST BE CHOSEN WITH CARE WITH RESPECT TO CUT-OFF.
A TYPICAL GRID WILL HAVE AN 8:1 RATIO, WITH 85 LINE PAIR / INCH OR 10:1 RATIO WITH
150 LINE PAIR / INCH (STATIONARY).

IF A SPARE FILM SCREEN COMBINATION IS AVAILABLE FOR WALL BUCKY USE, IT IS
SUGGESTED THAT TWO RECEPTOR SELECTOR BUTTONS ON THE CONSOLE BE ASSIGNED TO
SELECT THE WALL BUCKY. THE FIRST WALL BUCKY SELECTOR SHOULD BE USED FOR 40 IN.

3D.6.0 AEC CALIBRATION (WALL BUCKY) Cont
Use these steps to perform the wall Bucky AEC calibration.

Step Action
Steps 1 to 15 apply only if using one receptor select button for both SIDs, using
previously calibrated film screens.
1. Set up the X-ray tube stand as shown in figure 3D-8.
2. Align the tube stand and wall Bucky such that the central ray is centered relative to the image
receptor.
3. Open up the collimator to expose all three fields of the AEC pickup. Ensure that the central ray
remains centered relative to the image receptor.
4. Place the absorber (with thickness selected for 75 kV per table 3D-8) in the X-ray field,
ensuring that the radiation is COMPLETELY blocked by the absorber.
5. Select the wall Bucky image receptor.
6. Select the slowest film screen used for the wall Bucky, then select the appropriate mA for that
film screen per table 3D-8 (example 320 mA for 100 speed film). Select 75 kV, large focus,
center field.
7. Make an exposure and note the mAs.
8. Referring to table 3D-9, note the previously established mAs at the 75 kV breakpoint for the film
speed being calibrated.
9. Adjust the gain potentiometer on the AEC board for the channel that is connected to the wall
Bucky while taking exposures until the mAs noted in the previous step is obtained.
DO NOT READJUST THE GAIN POT FOR ANY PREVIOUSLY CALIBRATED CHANNELS.
10. Load the test cassette with fresh film and install it in the image receptor. Using the same
technique as in the previous step, expose the film and develop it.
11. Measure the O.D. The desired value should have been previously recorded in a copy of table
3D-11.
12. If the measured O.D. is not the desired value, adjust the gain pot to increase or decrease the
density, then repeat the previous two steps. Do not readjust the kV breakpoints that were
previously calibrated.
13. Change the SID to 40 in. (100 cm) and repeat steps 10 to 12. Adjust the gain pot if necessary
to achieve an acceptable compromise between both SIDs.
14. Verify the O.D. at a range of different kVs.
15. Press << as required to return to the GEN CONFIGURATION menu (membrane console).
Steps 16 to 21 apply only if using two receptor select buttons (one for each SID), using
one previously calibrated film screen and one uncalibrated film screen.
16. Select the wall Bucky image receptor via the selector configured for the 40 in. (100 cm) SID.
17. Repeat steps 1 to 12 at the 40 in. (100 cm) SID position using the appropriate previously
calibrated film screen.
18. Verify the O.D. at a range of different kVs.
19. Select the wall Bucky image receptor via the selector configured for the 72 in. (180 cm) SID.
20. Calibrate the film screen assigned to this SID as per the table Bucky procedure. The AEC
calibration pot must not be readjusted, as it was calibrated at the 40 in. (100 cm) SID. All
breakpoints, including the 75 kV breakpoint, are to be calibrated by adjusting the calibration
numbers ONLY.
21. Press << and EXIT as required to return to the GEN CONFIGURATION menu (membrane
console).

3D.7.0 AEC CALIBRATION (MISC)
The remaining image receptors are calibrated in a similar manner to the table Bucky receptor. Only the gain
pot for the active channel is to be adjusted at the slowest film screen used on the selected receptor. DO
NOT READJUST THE GAIN POT FOR PREVIOUSLY CALIBRATED RECEPTORS, AND DO NOT
READJUST THE CALIBRATION VALUES IN THE AEC CALIBRATION MENU FOR PREVIOUSLY
CALIBRATED FILM SCREENS.
THE MEMORY FUNCTION THAT WAS TEMPORARILY CHANGED TO OFF EARLIER IN THIS
CHAPTER MAY NOW BE RESET TO THE DESIRED VALUE.
3D.8.0 AEC OVERVIEW AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION
AEC exposures should normally be kept well under one second. When X-ray techniques are used that result
in longer exposures, the film density will not be correct due to failure of reciprocity of the film.
Care must be exercised when using low kV values with table Buckys because most tabletops and grids
absorb considerable radiation in the range of 60 65 kV. This will adversely affect AEC operation.
3D.8.1 Film/Screen Response vs. kV
Film screen response to kV is not linear. Therefore, compensation must be provided in order to maintain
constant film density as kV is changed for different anatomical studies. By selecting and calibrating various
kV breakpoints, the overall system response will be compensated such as to yield a constant film density.
Up to eight breakpoints per film screen combination are available. The eight breakpoints are spread
over three kV ranges as shown below:
Low kV: 50, 55, 65 kV.
Knee kV: 75 kV.
High kV: 85, 95, 110, 130 kV.

3D.8.2 AEC Calibration Range
Since the CMP 200 family of X-ray generators allows for up to three separate film screen combinations to
be calibrated, the following points must be considered:
The AEC board allows for a zero to a maximum of 10-volt ramp at the comparator input. All AEC signals
must fit within this range (for all film / screens, densities, and techniques).
Most X-ray film-based applications require the use of two or more different film screen combinations, all
of which will require different exposure doses.
Using the slowest film screen combination, the required film input dose will be determined.
Once this value is determined (during AEC calibration), the density calibration is performed to allow
100% (double the dose) and 50% (half the dose) values. These are typical values, and will determine
the maximum required range of the AEC reference voltage (the output from the D/A converter).
Figure 3D-10 illustrates the different windows required for various film screen combinations.

or programmed tube types.
4.5.0 ACCEPTANCE TESTS (AEC)
For generators with AEC:
1. Review section 3D: AEC Calibration.

2. Recheck the mAs, dose and O.D. as recorded during initial installation. Follow the appropriate steps in
chapter 3D to verify the AEC calibration.
3. CMP 200 / CMP 200 DR X-ray generators have a circuit that checks that the AEC ramp is at least
5% of the AEC reference voltage within 20% of the AEC backup time. This step confirms that this
circuit is working, and that electrical noise on the AEC input does not exceed the 5% threshold.
a) Close the collimator and point the X-ray tube away from the image receptor that has AEC channel
1 assigned to it. Alternately, close the collimator and cover the image receptor with a lead apron.
Then select this image receptor via the console.
b) Select the AEC mode of operation and 100 mA.
c) Select the maximum kV used on that receptor and minimum density. Select the fastest film
screen if available.
d) Make an AEC exposure and verify that an AEC DEVICE ERROR message is displayed.
An AEC DEVICE ERROR message indicates that the selected AEC channel has passed
this test. Repeat step 3 for the remaining AEC channels by selecting an image receptor that
has the desired AEC channel assigned to it.
Go to step 3 (e) if an AEC DEVICE ERROR message is not displayed when testing the
current AEC channel.
e) If the generator runs into backup ms or backup mAs, i.e. if an AEC DEVICE ERROR message is
not displayed, some troubleshooting is required to determine the reason the 5% / 20% circuit is
not terminating the AEC exposure. Some troubleshooting tips:
Repeat steps 3 (a) to 3 (d) but select the minimum kV used on the current receptor,
maximum density and the slowest film screen, if available. If an AEC DEVICE ERROR
message results with these settings, this almost certainly indicates that there is sufficient
noise on the AEC input to exceed 5% of the AEC reference voltage under the test conditions
in step 3 (c), where the AEC reference voltage is at its minimum. The cause of excessive
noise on the AEC input now needs to be found.
Measure the AEC reference voltage (PT reference). Then check that noise at the output
of the AEC board (PT ramp) does not exceed approximately 2% of the AEC reference
voltage.
Is the AEC cable routed along with other noisy cables i.e. stator cables?
Are the stator cables shielded and properly grounded? Shielded cable is recommended
for the low speed starter and required for the dual-speed starter. The shield must be
grounded at the tube end and at the generator end of the cable(s).
Is the AEC cable shielded? The shield should only be grounded at the AEC board in the
generator.
Is the AEC chamber isolated from chassis ground? Some chamber types must be
isolated from equipment ground.
If the generator runs into backup ms or backup mAs under both sets of test conditions
(maximum kV, minimum density, fastest film screen AND minimum kV, maximum density,
slowest film screen):
Recheck the troubleshooting steps in 3 (e).
Check the PT ramp at TP11 on the generator interface board.
f) Repeat the previous steps for the remaining AEC channels by selecting an image receptor that
has the desired AEC channel assigned to it.
Refer to the section AEC Calibration Range in chapter 3D for background information on film screen
speed vs. D/A output (reference voltage).
4.6.0 ACCEPTANCE TESTS (DR INTERFACE)
For CMP 200 DR X-ray generators with a DR imaging system, follow the system manufacturers
recommendations for system test to verify the DR interface.
4.7.0 ACCEPTANCE TESTS (DAP)
Recheck the appropriate steps in chapter 3C to verify the DAP calibration.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This supplement describes reproducibility, linearity, and half - value layer (HVL) tests which may be used
to verify performance of medical X-ray generators.
NOTE: THIS SUPPLEMENT DETAILS TYPICAL REPRODUCIBILITY, LINEARITY, AND HVL TESTS.
LOCAL REGULATIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE CONSULTED PRIOR TO PERFORMING
THESE TESTS, AS DETAILS MAY VARY IN SOME JURISDICTIONS, OR ADDITIONAL
TESTS MAY NEED TO BE PERFORMED.
WARNING: SOME EXPOSURES IN THIS SECTION MUST BE TAKEN AT THE MAXIMUM

GENERATOR KVP. THE X-RAY TUBE MUST BE KNOWN TO BE CAPABLE OF
OPERATION AT THAT KVP VALUE, AND THE TUBE SHOULD FIRST BE SEASONED
TO ENSURE THAT OPERATION AT HIGH KVP VALUES WILL NOT BE PROBLEMATIC.

2.0 EQUIPMENT SETUP
1. Place the radiation probe above the table approximately 25 cm (10). Select an SID of
approximately 100 cm (40).
2. Place a lead diaphragm over the detector and adjust its height so that the X-ray beam covers the
detector but does not over radiate the sides of the probe. Refer to figure 1.

3.0 REPRODUCIBILITY
Calculate reproducibility as follows:
1. Using kV and mA/ms or mAs values per tables 1 to 4, make a series of 5 exposures.
2. Record each of the measured dose values, in mGy, in the appropriate table. Refer to step 3
before starting step 2.
To convert mR to mGy, divide the value in mR by 114.5. This will give the value in mGy.
(for example 114.5 mR = 1 mGy).
3. Record the preselected mAs for each series of exposures in the header of each table. For 3 point
generators, this is the calculated mAs value where mAs = mA X time in seconds (example for
160 mA and 125 ms, mAs = 160 X 0.125 = 20 mAs).

3.0 REPRODUCIBILITY (Cont)
4. Calculate and record the average dose K (kerma) in mGy.
5. Calculate the difference, K K, for each exposure.
6. Square each difference from the previous step.
7. Calculate the sum of the differences squared.
8. Calculate the standard deviation (S) by using the formula.
9. Calculate reproducibility by dividing S by K.
10. Table 5 shows example reproducibility calculations.
11. If linearity is to be measured, it is suggested that dose measurements be taken at this time for
entry into tables 6 and 7. Refer to 4.0 LINEARITY for details.

5.0 H.V.L. EVALUATION
1. Be sure the X-ray source assembly (X-ray tube and beam limiting device) is fully assembled and
functional.
2. Use the test setup as per figure 1.
3. Set the generator as follows: 3 point generators, 80 kV, 200 mA, 50 ms, large focus. For 2 point
generators use 80 kV, 200 mA if this can be set, and 10 mAs.
4. Take a series of three exposures and record the dose K (kerma) values in mGy in table 10.
Calculate and record the average of the three exposures.
5. Place 2 mm of Al on top of the lead diaphragm (total of 2 mm added), repeat the exposure and
record the K value in table 10.
6. Place an additional 1 mm of Al on top of the lead diaphragm (total of 3 mm added), repeat the
exposure; and record the K value in table 10.
7. Place an additional 3 mm of Al on top of the lead diaphragm (total of 6 mm added), repeat the
exposure; and record the K value in table 10.
8. The relative transmission for the average of the three K values where no Al was added is
assigned a value of 1.00. Using that base, assign relative transmission values to the remaining K
values. For example, if the average K value was 2.15 and has a relative transmission factor of
1.00, then 1.41 mGy will have a relative transmission of 1.41 / 2.15 = 0.66.
9. Plot the relative transmission values in figure 1. This should produce a straight line on the graph
since the X-axis is logarithmic.
10. Interpolate to determine the HVL. The Al thickness at a relative transmission of 0.5 will be the
required HVL value.
11. Repeat steps 4 to 10: 3 point generators, 100 kV, 200 mA, 50 ms, large focus. For 2 point
generators use 100 kV, 200 mA if this can be set, and 10 mAs. Use table 11 to record the values
and figure 2 to plot the results
12. Table 12 and figure 3 show example HVL determination.

* The generator purges the existing X-ray tube auto calibration data before starting the auto calibration
routine and saving new calibration data. Therefore, auto calibration should be a last resort during
general troubleshooting, and should only be done to recalibrate the tube. For example, if a low mA fault
is presented, you should ensure that the generator is fully functional, and actually needs recalibration. If
calibration is attempted on a partially functional generator, the auto calibration routine may be aborted
before any calibration is done, and the generator will inhibit further exposures until the selected mA is
calibrated for the selected kV.

5.3.0 MISCELLANEOUS FAULTS
5.3.1 Erratic Console Faults
SYMPTOM: In some environments that are electrically noisy, the console may exhibit erratic faults i.e. RAM
data error, intermittent loss of communication, or random fault messages may be displayed.
2
SOLUTION: Connect a separate ground wire, #14 AWG (2.3 mm ) or larger from the ground stud on the rear
of the console (marked CONSOLE GROUND in the figure Rear of control console in chapter 2)
to the ground stud located beside the main input fuse block. This is marked GROUND
CONNECTION in the figure Generator mains connection in chapter 2.
SYMPTOM: In some situations the touchscreen console may appear frozen. i.e. cannot activate any of the
buttons on the touch sensitive screen. This may be a case of the touchscreen calibration being
significantly out of alignment.
SOLUTION: Connect a USB keyboard to the rear of the touchscreen and simultaneously press Alt + C. This
will activate the touchscreen calibration sequence. Refer to Chapter 3C for the procedure to
complete this sequence.

6.1.0 INTRODUCTION
This chapter provides a recommended schedule for periodic maintenance of the CMP 200 series and the
CMP 200 DR series of X-ray generators.
The initial installation date and location, and all service performed on the generator, should be recorded
in table 6-1. The record should be as thorough as possible, detailing the scope and type of work that was
performed (all service and a record of all replacement parts that were installed). Additionally, the person
performing the work should date and sign the record.
This information will be invaluable in the future for traceability and to ensure continued compatibility of
the generator.
If a major component (such as the HV module or a major circuit board) is replaced, recalibration will be
needed. A separate procedure will be included with the spare in those cases, detailing the required
calibration procedure. The acceptance test procedure per Chapter 4 should then be performed prior to
placing the generator back into service.
WARNING: MAINTENANCE IS TO BE PERFORMED ONLY BY COMPETENT, TRAINED PERSONNEL

WHO ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE POTENTIAL HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS
EQUIPMENT.
NOTE: MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE FREQUENCY MAY BE DICTATED BY CERTAIN

REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS OF THE COUNTRY OR STATE IN WHICH THE
INSTALLATION IS LOCATED. ALWAYS CHECK THE LOCAL CODES AND
REGULATIONS WHEN SETTING THE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.
WARNING: ALWAYS SWITCH OFF MAINS POWER TO THE GENERATOR AND WAIT A MINIMUM OF
5 MINUTES FOR CAPACITORS TO DISCHARGE BEFORE BEGINNING ANY
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE, INCLUDING CLEANING.

exposures are inhibited.
6. Examine the following for any visible damage and replace any damaged
components:
The exterior of the control console including the membrane switch
assembly.
The cable between the control console and the generator main cabinet.
The hand switch(if used) and the cables connecting this to the console.
7. Check all visual displays (warning and status lights, technique displays,
exposure indicators, etc) for normal operation.
8. Check all audible indicators for normal operation, and check that the
loudness settings are adequate for the environment.
9. Open the generator cabinet and examine the unit for any visible damage:
Missing or loose ground connections, oil leaks, damaged cables etc.
10. Ensure that there are no obstructions blocking any of the cooling slots on the
generator cabinet.
Every 5 years: Mandatory
1. Replace the lithium battery on the generator control board. Refer to the
spares list in chapter 8 for the required part number. Refer to 6.7.0 for the
battery replacement procedure.
2. Replace the cooling fan in the generator. The airflow vs. static pressure must
be considered when replacing the fan. The replacement fan must have
performance characteristics similar to the original fan. Consult the factory if in
doubt.
NOTE: THE HIGH VOLTAGE RECEPTACLES ON THE HV MODULE MUST EITHER BE FILLED WITH
INSULATING OIL (PREFERRED) OR THE HIGH VOLTAGE CONNECTORS AT THE HV MODULE
END MUST BE COATED WITH VAPOUR-PROOF INSULATING COMPOUND. THE METHOD
USED AT THE X-RAY TUBES HIGH VOLTAGE CONNECTORS IS AT THE DISCRETION OF THE
INSTALLER / SERVICE ENGINEER, HOWEVER IT MUST BE ADEQUATE TO PREVENT ARCS /
FLASHOVER AT THE X-RAY TUBE END AS TUBE HIGH VOLTAGE ARCS WILL IMPACT THE
GENERATORS USABILITY.
6.4.0 OIL FILL / LEVEL CHECK
CMP 200 / CMP 200 DR X-ray generators use different styles of HV module, depending on model. Refer to
figure 6-1. For the HV module on the right side of figure 6-1, field maintenance is neither necessary nor
possible. The oil is factory-filled to the correct level and the HV module is then sealed. An air-filled bladder
within the tank will expand and contract as the oil volume changes with pressure and temperature changes.
NOTE: FOR THE HV MODULE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF FIGURE 6-1, ENSURE THAT THE VENT TUBE
(VENT IN FIGURE 6-1) IS NOT BLOCKED.
For the HV module on the left side of figure 6-1, the oil level in the HV module can be checked in the field and
the oil can be topped up if necessary. Refer to the steps below.
The insulating oil level in the HV module does NOT require periodic checking under normal conditions.
However, if there is evidence of possible oil loss, the procedure for checking the correct oil level follows.
1. Loosen the oil fill plug screw on the tank lid.
2. With the screw sufficiently loosened, remove the rubber (neoprene) plug.
3. Use a clean ruler, strip of cardboard, or other equivalent material to determine the oil level, measured
always from the TOP surface of the lid of the HV module.
Normally the oil level should be between 0.88 - 1.25 inches (22 - 32 mm) from the top of the tank
lid.
If the oil level is between 1.25 - 1.6 inches (32 - 41 mm) from the top of the tank lid, then clean oil
should be added as needed.
If the oil level is greater than 1.6 inches (41 mm) below the top of the tank lid, please consult the
factory.
4. Use only fresh oil, type Shell DIALA AX or equivalent. It is critical that air is not added when topping up
the oil. The following procedure is strongly recommended when adding oil.
Use a new clean syringe to remove oil from the container. A 60 cc catheter tip syringe is
recommended. Approximately 60 cc of oil is required to raise the oil level by one millimeter.
Turn the syringe upright and expel any trapped air.
Place the tip of the syringe through the oil-fill plug and into the oil, ensuring that it is below the
surface of the oil.
Gently eject the oil from the syringe into the HV module, while making sure that the tip of the
syringe remains below the surface of the oil until all of the oil is emptied from the syringe.
Repeat the previous steps until the required amount of oil has been added.
5. Replace the oil fill plug. Once the plug is installed and the screw is properly seated, tighten the screw 4
turns. This will secure the oil fill plug. Wipe up any spills. Dispose of soiled absorber in compliance with
government requirements, and ensure conformity to local disposal regulations. THE OIL DOES NOT
CONTAIN PCBs.

6.5.0 CLEANING
To clean the console surfaces (without disinfecting) use soap and water. This should be applied using a
lint-free cloth as described below.
If console surfaces need to be disinfected, use Actichlor or equivalent with a Hypochlorite concentration of
3 to 5%.
Dilute the disinfectant 50/50 with water.
Spray or dampen a lint-free cloth with the diluted disinfectant. The cloth must be damp only, not wet.
Gently wipe the console surfaces with the damp cloth.
Never use any corrosive, solvent or abrasive detergents or polishes.
Ensure that no water or other liquid can enter any equipment. This precaution prevents short circuits and
corrosion forming on components.
Methods of disinfection used must conform to legal regulations and guidelines regarding disinfection and
explosion protection.
If disinfectants are used which form explosive mixtures of gases, these gases must have dissipated before
switching on the equipment again.
Disinfection by spraying is not recommended because the disinfectant may enter the X-ray equipment.
If room disinfection is done with an atomizer, it is recommended that the equipment be switched OFF,
allowed to cool down and covered with a plastic sheet. When the disinfectant mist has subsided, the plastic
sheet may be removed and the equipment be disinfected by wiping.

data from the EEPROM. The board will continue to operate with the stored data until an updated EEPROM is
inserted at U31.
Follow the procedure below to update the tube data:
WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TAKE EXPOSURES AT ANY TIME WHILE UPLOADNG

SOFTWARE
WARNING: ENSURE GENERATOR IS OFF AND DE-ENERGISED BEFORE UPLOADING SOFTWARE
1. Insert the EEPROM* into U31 socket on the DSS Board. Verify that the EEPROM pin orientation is correct
by checking its pin 1 location. If the EEPROM orientation is wrong, it could get damaged and the
generator could be damaged.. Refer to figure 1-7 (see Chapter 1 - Pre-Installation of the CMP 200DR
Service and Installation Manual 901471).

found in the acceptance section of the service manual.
*EEPROM- Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory
6.6.5 Resetting Factory Defaults
Resetting the factory defaults will restore the CPUs flash memory contents to their factory-default state. This
will be required if a major firmware upgrade is done. Minor firmware upgrades, such as revision upgrades, do
not require resetting of the factory defaults.
The factory defaults should not be reset casually as this will erase all custom programming made to the
console or generator.
Note that there are separate procedures to reset the factory defaults for the console CPU and for the
generator CPU.
CONSOLE CPU FACTORY DEFAULTS:
The procedure for loading console defaults is described in chapter 3C of this manual. Refer to LOAD
CONSOLE DEFAULTS. This is described in the section UTILITY MENU, under CONSOLE.
GENERATOR CPU FACTORY DEFAULTS:
1. Switch the generator OFF at the console, and disconnect the mains voltage.
2. Remove the generator cover as described in chapter 2.
3. Locate S3 on the generator control board. Refer to the appropriate figure in chapter 1, in the section
GENERATOR LAYOUT AND MAJOR COMPONENTS.
4. Set S3-1 to the LOAD DEFAULTS (ON) position.
5. Switch ON the generator. After a brief period, the console will pause at the message FACTORY
DEFAULTS.
6. Switch OFF the generator. Reset S3-1 back to the NORMAL (OFF) position.
NOTE: WAIT 5 MINUTES FOR THE DC BUS TO DISCHARGE BEFORE POWERING UP THE
GENERATOR.
7. Reprogram the tube selection to correspond to the connected tube AS PER Tube Selection / Tube
Setup IN CHAPTER 3C OF THIS MANUAL. This information was initialized when the defaults were
selected. This must be done before auto calibration is started, to prevent damage to the X-Ray tube.
8. PERFORM TUBE AUTO CALIBRATION AS PER Tube Calibration IN CHAPTER 3C OF THIS

MANUAL. This must be done to ensure accuracy of the exposure parameters after the generator
factory defaults have been loaded.
Note: The tube calibration sequence must be completed in full. If tube calibration is interrupted, the
resulting mA / mAs values will be uncalibrated due to invalid calibration data.
This will initialize all generator data to the factory defaults [tube selection, generator limits (including anode
boost time), receptor setup, I/O configuration, AEC setup, AEC calibration, tube calibration, time & date, error
log, statistics and anode heat units].
NOTE: IF THE FACTORY DEFAULTS HAVE BEEN SET, CRITICAL PARAMETERS (I.E ANODE
BOOST TIME, ETC) MUST BE MANUALLY REPROGRAMMED BEFORE OPERATING THE
GENERATOR.

6.8.0 BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Generator Control Board

The battery on the generator control board powers the Timekeeper SRAM chip U85 when the generator is
switched off. This contains the real-time clock and the RAM memory that stores the tube heat-unit calculations.
If the battery voltage drops below acceptable limits, the current date and time, along with the tube heat-unit
calculations will be lost when the generator is switched off.
The AEC board will need to be temporarily removed to replace the battery, if the AEC option is fitted. Refer to
6.8.0 for the procedure to remove and replace the AEC board.
INSERT THE BATTERY WITH THE CORRECT POLARITY AS PER THE STEPS
BELOW. IF THE BATTERY IS INSERTED INCORRECTLY THE CPU MAY REPORT A
LOW BATTERY ERROR MESSAGE. IF THIS OCCURS, REMOVE AND RE-INSERT THE
BATTERY WITH THE CORRECT POLARITY.
IF THE REVERSED POLARITY CONDITION CONTINUES LONG ENOUGH THE
BATTERY MAY OVERHEAT CAUSING LEAKAGE, RUPTURE, FIRE OR EXPLOSION
AND MAY CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
DISPOSE OF THE OLD BATTERY ACCORDING TO LOCAL REGULATIONS.
1. Locate the battery on the generator control board. The battery is contained in a yellow plastic package
that sits on top of the Timekeeper SRAM chip U85, near the middle of the generator control board.
2. Remove the battery by GENTLY prying between the battery and the generator control board. Be very
careful not to damage the Timekeeper SRAM chip U85 that is directly under the battery.
3. Insert the replacement battery into the socket on U85. Orient the replacement battery such that the dot
on the corner of the battery is near the dot on the generator control board.
4. A stamp error message may be observed at initial turn-on after replacing the battery. This is normal at
this point and will be cleared by setting the date and time in the next step.
5. Reset the date and time, if required. Refer to chapter 3C for the procedure to do this.
6.9.0 AEC BOARD REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
1. Switch the generator OFF at the console, and disconnect the mains voltage.
2. Disconnect the AEC chamber connections at the AEC board.
3. Disconnect the AEC control cable at J7 on the generator control board.
4. Locate the four nylon standoffs that secure the AEC board to the control board.
5. Turn the head of each plunger on the nylon standoffs approximately 90 counterclockwise.
6. Gently lift the AEC board off the nylon standoffs. Set the AEC board aside until the required
components underneath are replaced. The AEC board should only be placed on a static-safe surface.
7. Reverse the above steps to replace the AEC board.
6.10.0 TUBE CONDITIONING / SEASONING
Tube conditioning or seasoning is particularly important for new tubes or tubes that have not been used for
several days. This should be performed on each X-ray tube before attempting auto calibration, as an
unseasoned tube may not operate properly at higher kV values without arcing. Refer to the X-ray tube
manufacturers instructions, if available, for the tube conditioning or seasoning procedure. If the X-ray tube
manufacturers instructions are not available, the following procedure may be used:
6.10.1 Tube Conditioning
The generator does X-ray tube auto calibration at 40 kV, 50 kV, 60 kV, 70 kV, 80 kV, 100 kV and 120 kV. The
tube normally needs to be seasoned before it can be operated at the higher voltages encountered during auto
calibration.
Tube seasoning is started by auto calibrating the kV stations up to and including part of the 70 kV
station. The tube is then seasoned at 70 kV. Progressively higher kV stations are then auto calibrated and
seasoned. Finally the entire kV and mA range is auto calibrated, then the tube is seasoned at the remaining
high kV values.
Manually releasing the exposure button during auto calibration of a particular kV station in the following
procedure prevents the generator from attempting operation beyond that kV/mA value.
NOTE: THE TUBE MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDED SEASONING PROCEDURE, IF AVAILABLE,

MUST ALWAYS BE USED IN PLACE OF THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE.
X-ray tubes that have not been used for more than 8 hours may suffer thermal shock if operated at high
mA and kV without a warm-up procedure. A cold anode (Molybdenum) is very brittle and when
suddenly heated over a small area may experience thermal cracking of the anode surface, eventually
leading to permanent tube damage.
The procedure below is intended for seasoning an X-ray tube prior to attempting tube auto calibration. To
season a tube that does not need to be calibrated, follow steps 2, 4, and 6.
X-ray tube seasoning should be done on LARGE focus in order to minimize tube wear.
1. Start the tube auto calibration sequence, and manually terminate the exposure at 70 kV and 250 mA.
2. Season the tube at 70 kV by taking approximately 10 exposures of 200 mA and 100 ms. These
exposures should be taken at the rate of approximately one every 15 seconds.
3. Restart the auto calibration sequence and manually terminate the exposure at 100 kV and 250 mA.
5. Restart the auto calibration sequence and manually terminate the exposure at 120 kV and 160 mA.
7. Restart the auto calibration sequence and allow the auto calibration sequence to complete.
6.11.0 END OF PRODUCT LIFE
The generators useful life has been estimated at 10 years from point of sale. This will vary depending on use
and environmental conditions. If the generator has completed its useful service life, local environmental
regulations must be complied with in regard to disposal of possible hazardous materials used in the
construction of the generator.
In order to assist with this determination, the noteworthy materials used in the construction of this
generator are itemized below:

7 Theory of Operation CPI Canada Inc.
7.1.0 INTRODUCTION
This chapter contains the theory of operation for the CMP 200 and CMP 200 DR X-ray generators.
The theory of operation is organized by functional blocks as per the functional drawings in chapter 9.
7.2.0 FUNCTIONAL THEORY OF OPERATION
Refer to the appropriate functional block diagram in chapter 9 in conjunction with the theory of operation
in this chapter. Waveforms and voltages at the pertinent test points are typically shown on the last page
of each functional drawing.
7.2.1 System ON (MD-0928)
The generator control board on the CMP 200 series of X-ray generators includes power ON and power
OFF switches S1 and S2 that may be used to switch the generator on and off locally while working on the
equipment. These switches are connected in parallel with the generator ON and OFF switches that are
located on the consoles.
Pressing any of the power-ON switches turns on Q5 on the generator control board. This turns on Q6,
holding the collector of Q6 low. This latches Q5 in the on state by holding the base of Q5 low when the
ON switch is released.
The collector of Q6 is connected to K1 on the generator control board (MD-0927). K1 will be energized
when the generator is switched on, supplying +24 V to the console.
With Q6 turned on, the base of Q7 is held low, turning Q7 off. The collector of Q7 is connected to the ON
/ OFF control pins on the +5 V, +12 V, and +15 V switching regulators on the generator control board
(MD-0927). With Q7 turned off, the regulator control pins will be pulled to a logic high state, enabling the
low-voltage supplies on the generator control board (MD-0927).
In normal operation, a wire jumper is connected between J2-1 and J2-2 on the generator control board.
An emergency-off switch may be connected to the generator by removing the jumper between J2-1 and
J2-2, and then wiring the emergency-off switch to J2-1 and J2-2. If the connection between J2-1 and J2-2
is open-circuit (i.e. no jumper or an open emergency-off switch), K2 will be de-energized as shown. This
holds the base of Q6 low, preventing Q6 from turning on.
A supervisory circuit (not shown) monitors the +1.2 V, +3.3 V, and +5 V DC supplies on the generator
control board. The supervisory circuit releases the CPU reset line when these low voltage DC supplies
are detected at start-up. This causes the CPU to enter its startup sequence. The CPU will initialize itself,
perform its startup diagnostics, and then output a command via U86 and U83 on the generator control
board to energize soft-start contactor K2 on the H.V auxiliary board. The CPU will then wait for
approximately 10 seconds for the output of opto-coupler U5 on the H.V auxiliary board to ramp high,
indicating that the DC bus capacitors are charged. If U5 indicates proper DC bus capacitor charging
within the allotted time, the CPU will output a command to U86 and the driver consisting of Q28, Q29, etc
to energize the main power contactor via the H.V auxiliary board. Soft-start contactor K2 will be de-
energized after a maximum of 10 seconds, as the soft-start circuit is not needed once the DC bus
capacitors are charged.
If opto-coupler U5 on the H.V auxiliary board does not indicate normal DC bus capacitor charge within the
allowed time limit, an error message will be presented and the turn-on sequence will be aborted.
Pressing any of the power-OFF switches turns on Q4 on the generator control board. This turns off Q5,
turning off Q6. This will de-energize K1 on the generator control board, removing the +24 V supply from
the console. With Q6 turned off, Q7 will turn on, taking the ON / OFF control lines on the +5 V, +12 V, and
+15 V regulators low. This disables the switching regulators, shutting down the generator control
functions. The main power contactor will open, removing the AC input to the mains rectifier assembly.

7.2.2 DC bus & power distribution (MD-0927)
Sheet 1 applies to single-phase generators:

Assuming that the AC mains is connected and switched on, line voltage is applied to the primary of the
auxiliary transformer via F8 and F9 on the H.V auxiliary board. This will establish the +/-35 V supplies via
F1 and D1, and the +24 V supply via F2 and F3, and D3 / D4.
When the generator is switched on as described in 7.2.1, +24 V is supplied to the consoles via K1 and F2
on the generator control board. For the membrane console, the +24 V supply is regulated to +5 V and -20
V on the console board (page 4). The touchscreen console is powered from the +24 V supply; on-board
regulators step this down as required by the internal circuits. The low voltage DC supplies on the
generator control board are also established when the generator is switched on, as per 7.2.1.
K2 on the H.V. auxiliary board will be energized when the soft-start command is received from the CPU.
This will pre-charge the DC bus capacitors via F4 and F5, K2, D5 and series current limiting resistors. The
DC bus charging current flows through R17, developing sufficient voltage drop to energize U5. At the start
of DC bus capacitor charging, current through R17 is at its maximum. U5 will be on at all times except
near the zero crossing of the AC current waveform. The output of U5 will as per figure 1 on page 5 of MD-
0927 (early charging). As the bus capacitors approach a fully charged state, the current in R17 will
approach zero. U5 will only be on near the peaks of the AC current waveform, and the output of U5 will as
per nearly finished charging in figure 1 on page 5 of MD-0927. When the CPU detects the nearly
finished charging state via U5, the main power contactor and the cooling fan will be energized. The line
voltage is then rectified by the chassis-mounted mains rectifier assembly to produce approximately 320
VDC for 230 VAC input. This DC bus voltage is switched by the inverter board to produce the drive for the
primary of the HV transformer as described in 7.2.5.
LED DS1 on the H.V. auxiliary board confirms the presence of the +24 VDC supply, and DS1 on the EMC
capacitor board indicates that the DC bus is charged.
The BUCKY DRIVE output may be configured for +24 VDC, 110 VAC, or 220 VAC. Connecting E11 to E5
and E7 to E8 supplies +24 VDC, wiring E9 to E5 and E7 to E8 supplies 110 VAC, and jumpering E12 to
E5 and E7 to E8 outputs 220 VAC.
K6 on the H.V. auxiliary board will be energized when the +12 V supply on the generator control board is
present, supplying +24 VDC, 120 VAC, or 240 VAC to the Bucky drive circuits (section 7.2.3).
The low-speed starter boost voltage is jumper selectable to be 120 or 240 VAC. Connecting E16 to E15
selects 240 V boost, and jumpering E14 to E15 selects 120 V boost.
As described in 7.2.1, the +5 V, +12 V, and +15 V switching regulators become operational when the
generator is switched on. The 12 V, +1.2 V, and +3.3 V supplies are derived from the +12 V and +5 V
supplies, respectively.
Sheet 2 applies to three phase 208 / 230 V generators:

With respect to MD-0927, the operation of three phase 208 / 230 V generators is similar to that described
above for single-phase generators.
Sheet 3 applies to three phase 400 / 480 V generators:

With respect to MD-0927, the operation of three phase 400 / 480 V generators is similar to that described
for single-phase generators.
The rectified DC bus voltage for 400 VAC units will be approximately 560 VDC, or approximately 670
VDC for 480 VAC units.
7.2.2 DC bus & power distribution (Cont)
Refer to MD-083, sheet 4:

Sheet 4 applies to all units. For the membrane console, the +24 V supply is regulated to +5 V, +3.3 V,
+1.2 V, and -20 V via F1 on the console board. The console board contains a 300 VAC (approximately)
power supply that drives the cold-cathode fluorescent lamp in the LCD display assembly. This power
supply is driven from the +5 VDC supply.
The touchscreen console is powered from the generators +24 V supply; on-board regulators step this
down via F3 on the touch-screen board as required by the internal circuits.
Sheet 4 also shows the low-voltage DC power supply connections to the filament board and to the AEC
board.
7.2.3 Room interface (MD-0930)
+24 VDC, 120 VAC, or 240 VAC for the BUCKY DRIVE is available when K6 on the H.V. auxiliary board
is closed as described in 7.2.2. The 24 VAC and 24 VDC supplies are present at all times that the AC
mains is energized. The 24 VAC supply is fused by F11 and brought out at J11-6 and J11-5 on the H.V.
auxiliary board (maximum 150 watts for collimator use), and the 24 VDC supply is fused by F12 and
made available at J11-2 and J11-1 for system locks use (maximum 45 watts).
Bucky relays K1 and K3 on the H.V. auxiliary board are driven by U83 and U86 on the generator control
board. When K1 or K3 is energized, +24 VDC, 120 VAC, or 240 VAC is provided at J2-7 or J4-1 on the
H.V. auxiliary board to start Bucky 1 or Bucky 2.
The Bucky 1 or Bucky 2 ready signal (a contact closure is needed) will energize opto coupler U2 or U6
respectively. The Bucky-ready status from U2 / U6 is conveyed to the CPU via data buffer U89, where it is
processed to determine if the Buckys are ready to make an X-ray exposure.
During an X-ray exposure, the base of Q31 on the generator control board is pulled high via U19. This will
turn on Q31, energizing K7 on the H.V. auxiliary board. K7 provides a dry contact closure when
energized, which may be used to control the room light.
The H.V. auxiliary board also contains 4 interlock inputs. These include interlocks 1 and 2, the door
interlock, and the X-ray tube thermal switch interlock. Each of these interlock inputs requires a contact
closure to indicate a normal condition, with a closed interlock energizing the associated opto coupler U1,
U3, U4, or U9 respectively. The outputs of the opto-couplers are read by the CPU via data buffer U89 on
the generator control board, where the information is used to determine the readiness of the associated
input.
7.2.4 X-ray exposure (MD-0931)

The PREP and X-RAY switches on the membrane console are connected in parallel with the console-
mounted hand switch, as shown on drawing MD-0931. The PREP and X-RAY switches on the
touchscreen console, the X-ray mini-console, and on their associated hand switches are connected to the
inputs of U8 and U9 on the generator control board, respectively.
Pressing PREP on the membrane console will energize opto coupler U16 on the console board. If U16 is
energized, or one of the PREP switches on the touchscreen console, X-ray mini-console, or on the
associated hand switch is pressed, U8 on the generator control board will be energized. The output of
U16 on the console board is read by the console CPU (FPGA), and the output of U8 on the generator
control board is read by the generator CPU via data buffer U71. A prep request will be recognized if the
output of U16 on the console board (membrane console only) and / or U8 on the generator control board
is low. DS5 on the generator control board will light to indicate that a prep request has been made.
7.2.4 X-ray exposure (Cont)
Pressing X-RAY on the membrane console will energize U17 on the console board. If U17 is energized,
or one of the X-RAY switches on the touchscreen console, X-ray mini-console, or on the associated hand
switches is pressed, U9 and U7 on the generator control board will be energized. The output of U17 on
the console board is read by the console CPU, and the output of U7 on the generator control board is
read by the generator CPU via data buffer U71. An X-ray request will be recognized if the output of U17
on the console board (membrane console only) and / or U7 on the generator control board is low. When
the generator CPU receives an X-ray request, the emitter of U9 on the generator control board will be
pulled low via U86 and driver U83, assuming that there are no errors that would prevent an exposure.
With U9 on the generator control board energized, and its emitter held low, the collector of U9 will be held
low.
Jumpers JW1 and JW2 on the console board (membrane consoles) may be removed to disable the
console PREP and X-RAY buttons. If these jumpers are removed, PREP and X-RAY requests may be
made via a hand switch connected to J3 on the membrane console.

The collector of opto-coupler U9 on the generator control board (page 1) is ORed with several other
signals on the generator control board, all of which must be at the correct logic level in order to be able to
make an X-ray exposure.
The base of Q27 on the generator control board must be held low to allow an exposure. This requires
the following conditions:
The output of U65 must be low, indicating that no fault has been detected by the CPU.
The X-RAY ENABLE command from U9 (page 1) or U11 (MD-0926) must be low.
The HV module must be connected, holding the line connected to TP17 low.
The base of Q26 must be held low by U67, indicating a valid X-ray request.
With the base of Q26 and Q27 held low, Q26 and Q27 will be off. The line connected to TP16 on the
generator CPU board will then be pulled high via R91, pulling the control inputs on AND gates U26A and
U26B on the generator control board high, as described in 7.2.5.
Lastly, with the output of U67 on the generator control board low, the collector of Q21 will be high. This
turns Q22 off, isolating Q22 from the kV demand circuit, part of 7.2.5.
7.2.5 kV control and feedback (MD-0932)

When there is no X-ray request by the CPU, the RAD INHIBIT line from MD-0931 will be pulled high. This
circuit is described in 7.2.4. When the RAD INHIBIT line is high, the junction of R131 / R123 on the
generator control board will be held high (+12 V). This ensures that the error amplifier cannot generate
any kV demand.
When a valid X-ray request is received, the RAD INHIBIT command is removed and the D/A converter
U43 will produce the required kV reference voltage. The kV reference voltage is buffered by U38A,
inverted by U48A, and then summed with the positive going kV feedback signal from U51B at the input of
error amplifier U25A. Error amplifier U25A will regulate the kV by producing a DC output that is
proportional to the difference between the kV reference voltage and the kV feedback voltage.
The kV demand signal and the kV feedback signals are also processed by U72A, U72B, and Q25. The
result is an HV ON signal at the output of Q25 that is high when the actual kV is greater than
approximately 75% of the demanded kV.
The HV primary current is sampled by T2 and rectified by D33, D36, D38, and D42 to produce a current
limit signal (a negative voltage proportional to the primary current). This is applied to the input of U25B,
where it will limit the kV demand if the primary current exceeds safe limits. This current limit signal is also
fed to comparator U69, which generates a fault pulse if excessive primary current is sensed. This fault
pulse is fed to the CPU via U78, immediately causing the gate drive to be inhibited, preventing inverter
damage due to the over-current condition.
The output of U25B swings increasingly negative for increased kV demand. This kV demand voltage is
buffered and inverted by U33A, and then applied to the VCO (voltage controlled oscillator).
The VCO generates complementary output pulses that vary in frequency. The frequency of these pulses
is inversely proportional to demanded generator output power. The current sense feedback from T1
synchronizes the start of the pulses.
The gate-drive pulses from the VCO are fed to AND gates U26A and U26B. The control inputs of U26A
and U26B are held high if all logic conditions to allow an X-ray exposure are satisfied. The drive pulses
are inverted and level shifted by U27A and U27B, and then applied to the gates of the MOSFET inverter
consisting of Q16, Q17, Q19, and Q20 on the generator control board. These MOSFETS form a full
bridge inverter circuit that outputs high frequency gate pulses to the power MOSFETS on the inverter
board(s) via J5 and / or J13 on the generator control board.
The differential kV feedback voltage from the HV module is brought to J9 on the generator control board.
This is applied to the inputs of U51A and U56B, where the kV feedback scaling is precisely set by R218.
The differential feedback signals are then summed by U51B. The output of U51B supplies a kV feedback
signal to error amplifier U25A as described earlier in this section. The kV feedback signal is also supplied
to the CPU via A/D converter U45, which monitors the output voltage during an exposure. Lastly, the kV
feedback signal is fed to the kV over-voltage comparator U55, which will send a fault pulse to the CPU via
U78 if a kV over-voltage condition is detected.
The generator control board also contains circuits that guard against an inverter shoot-through fault. If a
shoot through fault is detected, T3 and / or T4 on the generator control board will supply a current pulse
that is detected by comparator circuits U70 and U75. The relevant comparator will then generate a fault
pulse that is passed to the CPU via U78, causing the gate drive to be inhibited immediately, thus
preventing inverter damage due to this fault.
7.2.5 kV control and feedback (Cont)
Refer to MD-0932, sheet 2 and 3:

The inverter board(s) produce the high power drive for the HV transformers (32 and 40 kW generators
use one inverter board, 50 kW and 65 kW units use two inverter boards). The output of the inverter
board(s) drive the primaries of the HV transformers via the resonant / sharing inductors and the resonant
capacitor and a current transformer that samples the HV primary current.
The HV module has similar anode and cathode sections. The cathode and anode sections each have
their own high voltage transformer and high voltage multiplier board. The anode section generates the
anode voltage, 0 to 62.5 or 75 kV. The cathode section generates the cathode voltage, 0 to -62.5 or -75
kV. The anode and cathode sections contain voltage dividers that supply kV anode and cathode feedback
voltages. The kV feedback from the HV module is brought to J9 on the generator control board as
described earlier in this section.
The HV module is not field-repairable. Defective HV modules must be replaced as a complete unit with
the factory-specified replacement.
7.2.6 Filament drive and mA control (MD-0934)

D/A converter U42 on the generator control board will produce the filament reference voltage (1 volt = 1
amp of filament current) when the CPU receives a valid Prep command. This is buffered by U32B, and
then routed to the filament supply board via J14 on the generator control board.
The filament reference voltage is fed to U1B on the filament supply board. The output of U1B is summed
with the output of current limit clamp U1A. The filament current limit is set at 5.5 or 6.5 amps via JW1; it is
shown set to limit at 5.5 amps on MD-0934.
Next, the filament reference voltage is summed with the filament feedback voltage at the input of error
amplifier U4B. When the reference voltage is greater than the feedback voltage, the output of U4B rises,
causing the pulse width at the output of U3 to increase.
PWM (pulse-width modulator) U3 drives MOSFETS Q6, Q7, Q12, and Q13, which form a full bridge
inverter. The MOSFETS convert the + and - 35 V supplies to high frequency AC to drive the primary of
the filament transformers at the filament switching frequency, approximately 40 kHz, via C22, the primary
of T1, large / small filament select relay K1, J5 on the filament supply board, and J4 on the tank lid board.
The secondaries of the filament transformers provide high voltage isolation, and drive the filaments via
the filament mounting board and the cathode high voltage connector as shown.
The output of filament current sense transformer T1 on the filament supply board is rectified by D12, D13,
D27, and D28, and fed to RMS converter circuit consisting of U7 and associated components. The output
of the RMS converter drives U4A, which is a variable gain amplifier. The filament current feedback is
calibrated such that 1 volt = 1 amp of filament current. The calibrated filament feedback voltage
(representing actual filament current) appears at the input of buffer U2B, at the summing input of error
amplifier U4B as described earlier in this section, and at the input of comparator U2A.
The output of U2B is brought to J2-2 on the filament supply board. The filament current feedback signal is
then converted to a digital signal by A/D converter U45 on the generator control board in order that the
filament current can be monitored by the CPU.
The output of U2A will be low if a filament fault is present, i.e. filament current less than approximately 1.7
amps. This will turn Q1 on the filament supply off, taking its collector high. The output of Q1 is taken to
the CPU via U78 on the generator control board. If low filament current is detected, X-ray exposures will
not be possible, and a filament fault message will be displayed.
7.2.6 Filament drive and mA control (Cont)

When an exposure is in process, X-ray tube current flows through series resistors on the HV anode and
cathode boards. The voltage developed across these resistors, which is proportional to the X-ray tube
current, is taken to J9 on the generator control board. Transient protectors on the high voltage boards
clamp the voltage across the series resistors during high voltage arcs.
The grounded mid-secondary circuit in the HV module is connected to the mA test jacks E17 / E18 on the
tank lid board. Transient protectors on the tank lid board clamp the voltage across the mA measuring
device during high voltage arcs, and prevent the voltage at E17 and E18 from rising above approximately
15 volts if the ma test jack is removed and no measuring device is connected.
The anode mA feedback that appears at J9-1 and J9-2 on the generator control board is scaled
approximately 0.4 volts = 100 mA of anode current, and is applied to the input of differential amplifier
U68B.
The output of U68B is taken to comparator U47, which detects high anode mA. U47 will send a fault pulse
to the CPU via U78 if an anode over-current condition is detected, causing the kV output to be inhibited
immediately, thus preventing generator damage due to the over-current fault.
The output of U68B is also fed to the input of U68A, which provides a scaled mA feedback voltage. The
mA is calibrated by R160 such that 1 volt = 100 mA at the output of U68A. The output of U68A is taken to
the data bus via A/D converter U45, and also to voltage amplifier U74A, which provides a better quality
(higher gain) feedback signal at low anode currents. The mA feedback information is used by the CPU to
regulate the X-ray tube mA and to perform mA monitoring functions during exposures.
The cathode mA feedback at J9-4 and J9-3 on the generator control board is used for cathode over-
current detection only. The cathode mA feedback is fed to the input of differential amplifier U56A. The
output of U56A is taken to comparator U50, which detects high cathode mA. U50 will send a fault pulse to
the CPU via U78 if a cathode over-current condition is detected, inhibiting the X-ray exposure, thus
preventing generator damage due to the over-current fault.
7.2.7 Dual-Speed starter - Board Number 728877-06 (MD-0924)
The generator CPU decides whether the pending exposure should be made at low-speed or high-speed
operation. Based on this determination, the CPU will output the high-speed / low-speed command via
U86 and U83 on the generator control board. The output of U83 lights DS10 on the generator control
board, and energizes U12 on the dual-speed starter board. The dual-speed starter CPU monitors the
output of U12, and sets low or high-speed operation based on the state of U12.
The prep command is also output by the generator CPU and latched by U86. Driver U83 lights DS11 on
the generator control board, and energizes U13 on the dual-speed starter board. The dual-speed starter
CPU monitors the output of U13, and starts the boost cycle when the output of this opto coupler is low.
K1 on the dual-speed starter board will close at the start of the prep cycle. K4 will close at the same time
that K1 is energized. This ensures that the high voltage is isolated from the stator terminals at all times
except during normal operation of the dual-speed starter.
The dual-speed starter contains an inverter, Q1 to Q4, which produces the required stator current at 50,
60, 150, or 180 Hz by precisely switching the 560 / 650 volt DC bus. The dual-speed starter CPU controls
the switching of the inverter via the driver circuit consisting of U1-U9 and T1-T4, etc. The setting of DIP
switch SW1 determines all stator drive parameters (boost voltage and boost time, run voltage, brake
voltage and brake time, etc).
7.2.7 Dual-Speed starter - Board Number 728877-06 (MD-0924) (Cont)
The modulated output from the inverter is fed to the common stator terminal via one leg of the inverter
and via K4. The shift and main currents are taken from the other leg of the inverter via K5 and K6. K1-A
switches the main current, and K1-B switches the shift current.
The following description applies to dual-speed starters 901297-12, 13, 16 and 901298-12, 13, 16 only.
Relay K3 is held open for high-speed operation and closed for low-speed operation. The dual-speed
starter will automatically set K7 open or closed based on the setting of DIP switch SW1, selecting one-of-
two possible capacitor values. The available capacitor values are shown in the tables on MD-0924.
The operation of dual-speed starter 901297-15 and 901298-15 is similar, except that relay K7 is always
held open during low-speed operation, providing 28F of low-speed capacitance. It is also possible to
configure this starter to provide 15.5F of low-speed capacitance by removal of one of the low speed
capacitors. One-of-two possible value of high-speed capacitance is automatically selected using K7.
The operation of dual-speed starter 901297-02 and 901298-02 is similar, except that K7 is not used,
resulting in only one value each of low-speed capacitance (60F) and high-speed capacitance (20F).
The DC bus current is monitored by a circuit consisting of CS1, U10, U11, etc. If a problem such as a
ground fault in the stator circuit is detected, a latch in the inverter fault detector circuit will be set. This will
light DS1 and inhibit the drive pulses for the inverter Q1 to Q4.
The contacts of current sense relays K5 and K6 will be closed when the main and shift currents are above
preset limits. With K5 and K6 closed, Q5 on the dual-speed starter board is supplied with base current.
This will turn on Q5, whose output is monitored by the dual-speed starter CPU. If normal stator current is
detected, the CPU will output a logic low signal at J1-10 on the dual-speed starter board. This stator-
ready signal drives opto-coupler U88 on the generator control board, turning U88 on in the normal (no
stator-current fault) state. DS9 will be on at prep in low speed mode, and on after prep is finished in high-
speed mode. The generator CPU reads the output of U88 via U87 on the generator control board. A
stator fault condition will immediately remove the generator ready and drive-enable signals, inhibiting kV
output. Additionally, the dual-speed starter CPU will open K1 and K4 on the dual-speed starter board,
removing the stator drive.
7.2.8 Dual-Speed Starter (DSS 2, new version) Board Number 903132-02 (MD-1069)
Power is supplied from J18 of the generator control board to J1 of the dual-speed starter board. This
12VDC is used to supply the circuits that drive gates and relays and is also converted to power the low
voltage logic circuits requiring 5VDC (linear regulator)and 3.3VDC (switching regulator).
The setting of DIP switch SW1 determines the tube type, all stator drive parameters, i.e., boost voltage
and boost time, run voltage, brake voltage and brake time, etc. The Microcontroller will read its setting
during PREP to determine the configuration and operating mode of the dual-speed starter board. It will
use this information to decide which relays to drive, as well as the drive parameters used for a particular
tube. These parameters are stored within the DSS microcontroller.
The dual-speed starter board will operate in legacy mode when installed in a CMP200DR. In legacy
mode, the generator CPU will determine whether the pending exposure should be made at low-speed or
high-speed operation.
The generator CPU will output the Prep command and the high-speed / low-speed signals to the DSS.
The signals will be received by the Microcontroller on the dual-speed starter board via J1, and the Opto-
isolators. Indicator DS7 will light while the PREP signal is active. DS8 will also light while the High Speed
signal is active.
The Microcontroller will start the boost cycle in low or high-speed operation based on the state of the
signals.
The DSS ready command is sent to the main CPU through J1 on the dual-speed starter board to J3 on
the generator control board. When the dual-speed starter is ready, DS9 on the generator control board
lights up.
DC bus voltage used to power the inverter is brought from E10 and E11 of the EMC Board to E9 and E10
of the dual-speed starter board and is measured by the Current Sensors. The outputs of the Current
Sensors are sent to comparators. If the current is too high, the Flip-flop will latch into a state that shuts
down the gate drive circuits preventing damage. At the same time during this state, the Microcontroller
receives this status with the Bridge Inverter shut down, DS1 will be lit, indicating an inverter fault,
inhibiting further operation until the error is cleared through a generator restart.
The dual-speed starter contains an inverter, IGBT Switches, which produces the required stator current at
50, 60, 100, 120, 150 or 180 Hz by precisely switching the 560 / 680 volt DC bus. The Microcontroller on
the dual-speed starter board controls the switching of the inverter via the FET Driver Circuit.
7.2.8 Dual-Speed Starter (DSS 2, new version) Board Number 903132-02 (MD-1069) (Cont)
To drive the anode of the X-ray tube, the DC bus voltage is modulated to produce a sinusoidal voltage,
the value of which is calculated by the Microcontroller using pulse width modulation to provide the tube
the right amount of drive, via gate drive lines Driver 1 and Driver 2. These drive signals are ANDed with
the Enable signal, whose state is determined by the Microcontroller depending on the status of the
generator. Furthermore, if one of the drive signals is locked up at a wrong state, or the 12V supply to the
DSS is too low, the FET driver circuit and fault current latch will latch a value disabling the Enable signal
providing additional protection and send a signal to tell the Microcontroller the status of the gate drives,
e.g. whether it is enabled or not.
The main and shift currents of the tube are also measured. These values are sent to the microcontroller
for monitoring. If the values are outside of their normal range, the Enable signal is disabled, the
Microcontroller on the dual-speed starter board sends the error status and error message to the generator
CPU board, and consequently inhibiting further generator operation.
K1 on the dual-speed starter board will close at the start of the prep cycle. K4 will close at the same time
that K1 is energized. Both K1 and K4 will be open in standby state. This ensures that the high voltage is
isolated from the stator terminals at all times except during normal operation of the dual-speed starter.
The modulated output from the inverter is fed to the common stator terminal via one leg of the inverter
and via K4. The main current is taken from the other leg of the inverter passing the current sensor into
K1-B for tube 1. The main current branches off to the shift capacitors whose output is measured by
current sensor and into K1-A for tube 1.
The Shift Capacitor Selection Circuit relays determine the shift capacitance, which is required by the X-ray
tube stator windings.
- Push button Switches SW4 and SW5 may be used to test the dual-speed starter circuits for tube 1 in
both low and high-speed modes. These inputs go directly to the microcontroller.
- DS5 will flash at a 1 Hz rate to indicate that the Microcontroller is operational.
- The settings for SW1 are described in chapter 2 of this manual.
- The 7-segment display made by DS 2A-2G and DS2DP will display error codes. For the details of the
error information, see troubleshooting section, chapter 5 of this manual.
7.2.9 Low-Speed starter (MD-935)
120 or 240 VAC is supplied to the low-speed starter via F6 and F7 on the H.V. auxiliary board. This
voltage is jumper-selectable on the H.V. auxiliary board; refer to MD-0927 for details.
The coil of K4 on the H.V auxiliary board is connected in parallel with the main power contactor, and
therefore is energized when the main power contactor is energized after completion of the generator
power-on sequence. This is described in 7.2.1.
When a Prep request is made, K5 on the H.V. auxiliary board is energized by the CPU via U86 and driver
U83 on the generator control board for the ROTOR BOOST duration that was selected in the
GENERATOR LIMITS menu (chapter 3C) in order to boost the rotor. The rotor is allowed to coast briefly,
and then boosted again for approximately 500 milliseconds every 5 seconds during Prep in order to
maintain normal anode rotation. During the boost cycles (when K5 is energized), 120 or 240 VAC is
applied directly to the main winding and to the shift winding on the stator via the chassis-mounted phase
shift capacitor.
The main and shift currents flow through R20 and R19 on the H.V. auxiliary board, respectively,
energizing opto couplers U7 and U8 if there is sufficient stator current. Normally, the opto couplers will
only conduct during the peaks of the stator current. This is reflected in the output waveform of the opto
couplers at TP8 and TP7 as shown on page 2 of MD-0935. If there is low (or no) stator current, U8 and /
or U7 will not be energized. The output of the opto couplers at TP8 / TP7 will then be pulled high (+5 V).
This steady-state condition (+5 V) is detected by the CPU via U89 on the generator control board, where
it is recognized as a rotor fault.
7.2.10 DAP (MD-0938)
The DAP circuits consist of switching circuits to control the outputs at J4, and circuits to feed the DAP
pulses back to the CPU. Data latch U19 and driver U20 switch the +5 V and +15 V supplies via Q2, Q3,
and Q1 as required to control and test the DAP chamber. For DAP chambers with differential outputs,
JW14 is jumpered from pins 2-3, thus connecting the differential output from the DAP chamber directly to
the input of U1. For DAP chambers with a single-ended output, JW14 must be jumpered on pins 1-2. This
connects the output of the DAP chamber to the input of opto-coupler U94. This provides increased noise
immunity for single-ended DAP chambers, as the signal must be greater than approximately 2 V in order
to turn on the opto-coupler. The single-ended output of U94 is then connected to the input of U1.
The RS-485 driver, U1, sends single-ended (not differential) pulses to the CPU via U78. The DAP pulses
are counted by, and the related calculations are performed by the generator CPU.
7.2.11 Temp sensor / programming jumpers (MD-0925)
The inverter temperature sensor is mounted on a thermal sensor board that is mounted on one of the
inverter heat sinks. The output of the inverter temperature sensor is connected to J17-2 on the generator
control board. The temperature sensor, which has an output of 10mV / C, is connected to the input of
U79A. The output of U79A is scaled 100mV / C; this is divided by R162 / R163 to bring the signal within
the useable range of A to D converter U45. The digital output of U45 is read by the generator CPU, which
will inhibit further exposures if it calculates that the next exposure will exceed a safe inverter temperature.
The output of U79A is also connected to a fan voltage circuit controlled by voltage comparator U97. When
the voltage at TP34 is less than 3.5V, the output of U97 is high. The logic high is fed into the fan voltage
regulator circuit putting the voltage at J28-1 between 6.5 and 7 volts (driving the cooling fan at low
speed).
If the voltage at TP34 reaches 3.5V (approx. 35), the output of U97 goes low. The logic low is fed into
the fan voltage regulator circuit, which will drive the voltage at J28-1 to approximately 12.5 volts (driving
the cooling fan at high speed).
MD-0925 also shows programming jumpers JW12, JW2, and JW13. JW12 tells the CPU if the generator
has a cooling fan. JW-12 should be jumpered from pins 2-3 for generators with fans, and pins 1-2 if a
new-style generator control board is used to upgrade or repair older generators without fans. Note that if
the jumper is in position 1-2 (no fan), the generator duty cycle will be reduced.
JW2 is used to upgrade the generator firmware. This is set to JW2 pins 1-2 for normal operation, and pins
2-3 to upgrade the firmware. JW13 is factory-set, and should not be reconfigured in the field.
7.2.12 Serial communications (MD-0937)
When the generator is switched on and the start-up diagnostics are finished, the console will attempt to
communicate with the generator. The console will send data to the generator, and then wait for a
response from the generator. If the console receives a response, communication may continue. If the
console CPU does not receive a response from the generator CPU, a communication error message will
be displayed.
When the membrane console is sending data to the generator, DS2 on the console board will flash. DS3
on the generator control board will flash when data is being received by the generator control board from
the membrane console or the touchscreen console. DS2 on the generator control board and DS3 on the
membrane console board (if applicable) will flash to indicate that the generator control board is sending
data to the console.
U11 on the console board (membrane consoles) is a RS-232 driver that drives serial port J4. DS5 and
DS4 on the console board will flash to indicate that data is being sent to, and received from the serial
port.
7.2.12 Serial communications (MD-0937) (cont)
The generator control board includes two serial communications ports. These include J21, which is an
RS-232 communications port, and J22, which is used for optional features.
DS1 on the console board (membrane consoles) and on the generator control board will flash at a
consistent 1 Hz rate if the related CPU is operational.
7.2.13 AEC (MD-0936)

Sheet 1 shows the circuits on the generator control board that provide the interface between the
generator CPU and the AEC board. Eight lines supply the AEC chamber select signals, the start signal,
and the field select signals to the AEC board via U90 and driver U91. The AEC ramp (PT RAMP) from the
AEC board is voltage-amplified by a factor of approximately 20 by U66B and compared to the AEC
reference voltage by U73. The output of U73 is normally high, switching low when the magnitude of the
AEC ramp is approximately 5% of the AEC reference voltage. This step change at the output of U73 is
detected by the CPU via U71, and is used by the CPU to generate an error message if the trajectory of
the AEC ramp is such that the AEC exposure will exceed the AEC backup time.
The AEC reference voltage is generated by D/A converter U44, buffered by U38B, and fed to comparator
U73 and to the AEC board via J7-10. The magnitude of the AEC reference voltage is determined by the
CPU (based on the upcoming exposure), and will be a value between 0 and 10 volts.
The PT stop signal is generated by the AEC board when the magnitude of the AEC ramp is equal to the
AEC reference voltage, and indicates that the desired AEC exposure should be terminated. The PT stop
signal is routed via U71 to the CPU, where it will terminate the AEC exposure immediately when this
signal is received.

This is the functional schematic of AEC assembly 734614, used with various ionization type AEC
chambers. The AEC chambers are connected to J1/J11, J2/J12, J3/J13, and / or J4/J14. The AEC board
will either be fitted with 12 pin in-line connectors, or 15 pin D connectors, depending on the application.
The AEC signal from the AEC chamber(s) is routed to the input of analog switches S1A to S1D on the
AEC board. These analog switches are controlled by the chamber-select signals.
The chamber-select signals originate on the generator control board as per sheet 1. Only one chamber
may be active at one time, and DS1 to DS4 on the AEC board indicate which channel is active. The
chamber-select signals are inverted by U3B, U3C, U3D, and U3F; and connected to the control inputs of
the analog switches described in the previous paragraph. The analog switch corresponding to the
selected AEC input channel will be closed when that channel is selected, thus connecting the AEC signal
to preamplifier U1A, which provides voltage gain. The input of U1A will be configured such that U1A is a
non-inverting amplifier for use with AEC chambers that have a positive going output, and as an inverting
amplifier for use with chambers with a negative voltage output.
The start signal also originates on the generator control board. This signal, when active, will light DS5 on
the AEC board. The start signal is buffered and inverted by U3E and U3A, and will be logic low at the
output of U3A when the start signal is active. This opens the analog switch that is part of the sample and
hold circuit at the input of U2A during an AEC exposure. This analog switch is closed at all other times.
The sample and hold circuit will sample any electrical noise at the output of U1A during standby
operation, and subtract this noise from the AEC signal during an AEC exposure. This ensures that the
output of U2A is proportional to the AEC chamber output voltage only, and is not influenced by noise.
7.2.13 AEC (Cont)
The output of U2A connects to the common inputs of analog switches S2A to S2D. These analog
switches are controlled by the chamber-select signal, and the switch corresponding to the active channel
will be closed. This connects the output of U2A to the AEC gain adjustment potentiometer R1 to R4
corresponding to the active channel. The AEC signal, which will be either a ramp or a DC voltage
depending on AEC chamber type, is now fed to the input of U2B. This will be factory configured as an
integrating amplifier by connecting C4 into the circuit for use with AEC chambers that output a DC output
voltage, or U2B will be configured as a linear amplifier by connecting R32 into the circuit for use with AEC
chambers that provide a ramp voltage. The start signal also connects to analog switch S4. This switch
opens when an AEC exposure starts, allowing U2B to start integrating or amplifying the AEC signal.
The output of U2B will be a positive going ramp regardless of the AEC chamber type in use. This ramp
voltage is processed by U4A and U4B, and also fed to the short AEC exposure time compensation circuit
consisting of R11 to R14, S3A to S3D, R53 and C11. Analog switches S3A to S3D are controlled by the
chamber-select signal. The switch corresponding to the active channel will be closed, connecting the
phase-lead network C11 / R53 to the wiper of the AEC short-time adjustment potentiometer. This circuit is
disabled when the wipers of R11 to R14 are at the ground end of the potentiometers, and maximum
short-time compensation is provided when the wipers are set to the end of the potentiometers connected
to U2B.
The AEC ramp from U4B is taken to the generator control board where it is processed as described
earlier in this section, and also fed to comparator U6 on the AEC board where it is compared to the AEC
reference voltage. The output of U6 is normally high, switching low when the magnitude of the AEC ramp
equals the reference voltage. This PT stop signal is further processed on the generator control board.
The START, and LEFT, MIDDLE, and RIGHT field select signals are brought to the AEC chambers via
J1/J11, J2/J12, J3/J13, and J4/J14. The AEC board will be factory configured to directly output the active
low signal from the generator control board to the AEC chamber if required, or to output +12 V or +24 V if
the chamber requires active high signals. For AEC chambers that require active high outputs, the start,
right, middle, or left field select signal is taken from the collector of Q1 to Q4, respectively. The active low
signals from the generator control board turn on Q1 to Q4, outputting either +12 V or +24V (depending on
factory configuration) at the collector when active.
Jumpers JW1 to JW8 swap the left and right fields on J11 to J14. Jumpering pins 2-3 of the field selector
jumpers (JW7 / JW8 for channel 1, JW5 / JW6 for channel 2, JW3 / JW4 for channel 3, JW1 / JW2 for
channel 4) connects the left field select signal to pin 6 and the right field select signal to pin 2. Jumpering
pins 1-2 of the field selector jumpers connects the left field select signal to pin 2 and the right field select
signal to pin 6.
The AEC board also contains a DC to DC converter that produces +45 V, + or - 300 V, and +500 VDC.
The converter circuit consists of U7, T1, output voltage adjustment potentiometer R79, and associated
components. The +45 V output is hard wired to all of the AEC chamber connectors, and + or - 300 V is
permanently connected to J1 to J4. Additionally, the AEC board will be factory configured to supply either
+ or - 300 V or +500 V to J11 to J13, and to a second pin on J1 to J4 (in addition to the + or - 300 V fixed
output).

This page shows the input circuits for AEC board assembly 737992. This board is used with solid-state
AEC chambers. The AEC chamber outputs are connected to the anode and cathode inputs of J1/J11,
J2/J12, J3/J13, and / or J4/J14. The AEC board will be fitted either with 7 pin in-line connectors, or with
circular style connectors, depending on the application. U2A, U2B, U8A, U8B, U16A, U16B, U3A, U3B,
U9A, U9B, U17A, and U17B are extremely high gain preamplifiers that convert the current output from the
AEC diodes (several hundred pico amps, typically) to a useable voltage.
7.2.13 AEC (Cont)
The output of each preamplifier is connected to an analog switch used for field selection. Selecting the
desired field closes the corresponding analog switch, connecting the output of that preamplifier to the
summing node at the junction of R69, R9, R22 for channel 1, R40, R47, R55 for channel 2, R70, R11,
R23 for channel 3, and R41, R49, R56 for channel 4.
JW1 to JW8 swap the left and right fields. Jumpering pins 1-2 of the field selector jumpers (JW1, JW2 for
channel 1, JW3, JW4 for channel 2, JW5, JW6 for channel 3, JW7, JW8 for channel 4) selects the normal
left-right orientation, and jumpering pins 2-3 of the field selector jumpers reverses the left-right field
selection.
Selecting an active AEC channel closes U4D for channel 1, U14D for channel 2, U5D for channel 3, and
U15D for channel 4. The output from the selected AEC channel will then be passed on to the signal
processing circuits as shown on the next sheet of MD-0936.

This shows the signal processing circuits for AEC board assembly 737992. The AEC channel 1 to
channel 4 outputs are connected to the inverting input on U12A, which is a variable gain amplifier where
the gain of this stage depends on the number of AEC fields that are selected. With one field selected, the
gain of this stage will be at its maximum; and with three fields selected, the gain of this stage will be
divided by three. The variable gain of U12A compensates for the variable voltage output of the input
preamplifiers, thus keeping the signal output from U12A constant relative to the number of fields that are
selected.
The output of U12A feeds the inverting input of U11B. A sample and hold circuit is connected to the non-
inverting input on U11B. This circuit samples any electrical noise at the output of U12A during standby
operation, and subtracts this noise from the AEC signal during an AEC exposure. This ensures that the
output of U11B is proportional to the AEC chamber output only, and is not influenced by noise.
The output of U11B is connected to the input of U11A via the gain adjustment pots R1 to R4 and the
analog switches for channels 1 to 4.
U11A is an integrating amplifier where C31 starts to integrate the AEC voltage when the AEC exposure
starts. This is accomplished by opening the analog switches that are in series with R35, R38, R42, and
R59 at the start of the exposure. This produces a ramp whose slope is proportional to the input voltage at
U11A.
The AEC ramp is taken to the generator control board where it is processed as described earlier in this
section, and fed to comparator U10 on the AEC board where it is compared to the AEC reference voltage.
The output of U10 is normally high, switching low when the magnitude of the AEC ramp equals the
reference voltage. This PT stop signal is further processed on the generator control board.
The chamber-select signals exit on the generator control board as per sheet 1. Only one chamber may be
active at one time, and the active channel is indicated by DS1 to DS4 on the AEC board. The chamber-
select signals are inverted by U6, and then connected to the control inputs on analog switches U4D,
U14D, U5D, and U15D (sheet 3) for AEC channel selection and to the analog switches in series with R1
to R4 to select the required gain pot.
The field select signals from the generator control board are also active low. These signals are inverted
by U6, and then connected to the analog switches in the feedback loop of U12A, and to the analog
switches that select the fields on the previous sheet.
The start signal from the generator control board is inverted by U6 on the AEC board, and then inverted
again by Q2. The output of Q2 is connected to the analog switches in the feedback loop of U11A. The
extra inversion provided by Q2 is required to open those analog switches during an exposure.
7.2.13 AEC (Cont)

This is the functional schematic of AEC assembly 737998, used with ionization AEC chambers. The AEC
chambers are connected to J1 to J4. The AEC signal from the AEC chamber(s) is routed to the input of
analog switches U1A to U1D on the AEC board. These analog switches are controlled by the chamber-
select signals.
The chamber-select signals exit on the generator control board as per sheet 1. Only one chamber may be
active at one time, and the active channel is indicated by DS1 to DS4 on the AEC board. The chamber-
select signals are inverted by U6, and connected to the control inputs of the analog switches described in
the previous paragraph. The analog switch corresponding to the selected AEC channel will be closed
when that channel is selected, thus connecting the AEC signal to the input of U7A.
The start signal also exits from the generator control board. This is inverted by U6, and then inverted
again by Q4 and Q5. The output of Q5, when active, opens the analog switch that is part of the sample
and hold circuit at the input of U8A during an AEC exposure. This analog switch is closed at all other
times. The sample and hold circuit will sample any electrical noise at the output of U7A during standby
The output of U8A connects to the common inputs of the analog switches that are in series with gain pots
R11 to R14. These analog switches are controlled by the chamber-select signal, and the switch
corresponding to the active channel will be closed. This connects the output of U8A to the AEC gain
adjustment potentiometer R11 to R14 corresponding to the active channel. The AEC signal, which will be
a ramp, is now fed to the input of U8B. The analog switch in the feedback loop of U8B is opened during
an exposure, allowing the AEC ramp to appear at the outputs of U4A and U4B.
The AEC ramp output from U4B is taken to the generator control board where it is processed as
described earlier in this section, and fed to comparator U9 on the AEC board where it is compared to the
AEC reference voltage. The output of U9 is normally high, switching low when the magnitude of the AEC
ramp equals the reference voltage. This PT stop signal is further processed on the generator control
board.
The START signal from Q4, and the LEFT, MIDDLE, and RIGHT field select signals from Q1, Q2, Q3
respectively are brought to the AEC chambers via J1 to J4.
Jumpers JW1 to JW8 swap the left and right fields on J1 to J4. Jumpering pins 2-3 of the field selector
jumpers (JW7 / JW8 for channel 1, JW5 / JW6 for channel 2, JW3 / JW4 for channel 3, JW1 / JW2 for
channel 4) connects the left field select signal to pin 6 and the right field select signal to pin 2. Jumpering
pins 1-2 of the field selector jumpers connects the left field select signal to pin 2 and the right field select
signal to pin 6.

This is the functional schematic of AEC assembly 739389, used with various 3-of-5-field ion chambers.
The AEC chambers are connected to J1 and J2. The AEC signal from the AEC chamber(s) is routed to
the input of analog switches U1C and U1D on the AEC board. These analog switches are controlled by
the chamber-select signals.
The chamber-select signals originate on the generator control board as per sheet 1. Only one chamber
may be active at one time, and the active channel is indicated by DS1 and DS2 on the AEC board. The
chamber-select signals are inverted by U6. The signals CH 1 and CH 2 are connected to the control
inputs of the analog switches described in the previous paragraph. The analog switch corresponding to
the selected AEC channel will be closed when that channel is selected, thus connecting the AEC signal to
the input of U7A.
7.2.13 AEC (Cont)
The channel 3 and channel 4 select lines from U6 are inverted by Q6 and Q7. The outputs of Q6 and Q7
are redesignated as the PORTRAIT and INVERTED signals, respectively. These signals select four
different combinations of the L-M-R fields from the five available fields on the AEC chamber.
The start signal also exits from the generator control board. This is inverted by U6, and then inverted
again by Q4 and Q5. The output of Q5, when active, opens the analog switch that is part of the sample
and hold circuit at the input of U8A during an AEC exposure. This analog switch is closed at all other
times. The sample and hold circuit will sample any electrical noise at the output of U7A during standby
The output of U8A connects to the common inputs of the analog switches that are in series with gain pots
R11 and R12. These analog switches are controlled by the chamber-select signal, and the switch
corresponding to the active channel will be closed. This connects the output of U8A to the AEC gain
adjustment potentiometer R11 or R12 corresponding to the active channel. The AEC signal, which will be
a ramp, is now fed to the input of U8B. The analog switch in the feedback loop of U8B is opened during
an exposure, allowing the AEC ramp to appear at the input of U4A via a phase-lead network that provides
short time compensation.
The AEC ramp from U4A is again inverted by U4B and taken to the generator control board where it is
processed as described earlier in this section, and fed to comparator U9 on the AEC board where it is
compared to the AEC reference voltage. The output of U9 is normally high, switching low when the
magnitude of the AEC ramp equals the reference voltage. This PT stop signal is further processed on the
7.2.14 Digital interface (MD-0926)

Sheet 1 shows the digital outputs on the generator control board that drive the digital imaging system and
the optional X-ray mini-console. Data latch U5 latches the output data for the imaging system. One of the
outputs from U5 is an EXPOSURE ENABLE signal that is taken low if the generator has recognized a
valid exposure request. The remaining outputs from U5 are fed to driver U4, where three of the outputs
are connected directly to J25 and to inverters Q9, Q10, and Q11. The next two outputs from U4 are
connected to inverters Q12 and Q14 only. The outputs of inverters Q9, Q10, Q11, Q12, and Q14 drive
five of the outputs on J25.
Four of the single-ended outputs from U5 also drive differential drivers U21, U28, U30, and U35. These
differential drivers drive four of the outputs on J25.
The HV ON signal from MD-0932 is taken to the input of U37D on MD-0926. Monostable timer U40 is
triggered at the start of the HV ON signal, generating a 13-millisecond pulse. This ensures that the output
of U37C stays on for a minimum of 13 milliseconds for very short exposures, while having no effect on
longer exposures. The resulting exposure on signal from U37C is taken to J25 via driver U4, and is
inverted by Q15. The output of U37C is also taken to differential driver U31 for imaging systems that need
a differential exposure on signal.
Lastly, U19 latches the commands to drive the prep / exposure indicators and LS1 and LS2 in the mini-
console. These signals are fed to driver U20, which provides the required current gain.
7.2.14 Digital interface (MD-0926) (Cont)

Sheet 2 shows the digital inputs from the digital imaging system. One input is a differential input that is
fed to the data bus via U46 and U18, and six inputs are opto-coupled via U12, U16, U17, U22, U23, and
U36. The digital imaging system must pull J25-11 high to enable an X-ray exposure. When this line is
high, turning on U29 and U11, and the EXPOSURE ENABLE line is low, the X-RAY ENABLE command
will be low. This allows the DRIVE ENABLE signal on MD-0931 to be pulled high, enabling the gate drive
pulses on MD-0932.

Units with the dual-speed starter option will be fitted with H.V. auxiliary board 739442-99.
Before installing a replacement H.V. auxiliary board, jumpers must be properly installed on this board in order
to select the Bucky voltage (24 VDC, 110 VAC, or 220 VAC). After determining the Bucky drive voltage
requirement, connect the appropriate pair of jumpers in accordance with table 8-6 *.
The jumpers that select the Bucky voltage must be set per table 8-6.

220 VAC E12-E5, E7-E8
After determining the required rotor boost voltage, connect a wire jumper between the desired tabs on the
boards *.

* A complete set of jumpers is shipped with each new generator. Three of the jumpers are installed on the
H.V. auxiliary board, and the remaining jumpers are in a bag attached to the lip on the inside of the cable
access slot above the HV module.
If the Bucky or low-speed starter boost voltage needs to be changed on an existing H.V. auxiliary board, use
the existing jumper(s) if they are of the correct length and have the proper connector to fit the tab(s) on the
board. Otherwise, select the shortest wires from the spare jumper set that will connect between the desired
tabs on the board and that have the proper connectors on the jumpers. For spares boards, the jumpers will
need to be removed from the old board and reused.
Additionally, JW1 must be set per table 8-8 before installing a replacement H.V. auxiliary board.

NOTE:
2. The AEC board in your generator was selected to be compatible with specific AEC devices. To
maintain full compatibility, the original part number must be ordered as a replacement. Refer to chapter
9, section 9.2.0, for the part number of the original AEC board that was shipped in the generator for
which this manual was prepared.
3. This applies to the dual-speed starter option only, spares should be stocked accordingly. The part
number shown for the dual-speed starter board is for the board only, without the phase-shift capacitors.
For the complete dual-speed starter subassembly, several part numbers (which are tube-stator
dependent) are used in CMP 200 DR 400 / 480 VAC generators. To determine which dual-speed
starter subassembly is in your generator, note the DUAL-SPEED STARTER SUBASSEMBLY KIT part
number. The label on a sticker is located at the opposite side of the board assembly on the back of the
mounting plate. This will be the part number that must be ordered for spares usage. Examples of part
numbers are 901297-XX, 901298-XX, 902066-XX, 906672-XX where XX is a two digit number
designating the exact configuration.
4. This generator control board is jumper configurable. Please refer to the following tables to configure
the generator control board for your x-ray generator.
