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
VZW2930 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.

1A.9.3 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

In accordance with the intended use, this X-ray generator complies with the European Council Directive
concerning Medical Devices. The CE marking affixed to this product 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.

1C.4.0 GROUND REQUIREMENTS

POWER LINE:
A suitable ground must be connected from the disconnect switch to the main ground on the
generator, located to the left of the main fuse block on the power input board. The ground wire is
typically part of the line cord, and the current capacity of the ground conductor must normally be
equal to or greater than that of the line conductors.
If a neutral line is provided with the system, under no circumstances is it to be used for ground
purposes. The ground conductor must carry fault currents only.
X-RAY TUBE HOUSING:
A copper ground cable, #10 AWG (6 mm2) or greater, is to be connected from each X-ray tubes
housing to the H.T. tank ground stud (located at the top of the H.T. tank).
STATOR CABLE:
For units with a low speed starter, shielded stator cables are recommended. For units with a dual
speed starter, shielded stator cables MUST be used.
The shield for the stator cable(s) must be properly grounded at both the tube and the generator
ends of the cable(s).

Lifting The Generator

One of the following methods is recommended for lifting or maneuvering the generator. Since the
generator weighs more that 30 kg (65 lbs), proper lifting equipment should be used or additional help
should be obtained to lift the unit. Refer to figure 2-2 for identification of the panels referenced below.
Lifting straps can be used along with a hoist to raise the generator. The straps should be placed
underneath the generator cabinet and along the four sides to properly support the cabinet as it is
raised.
Remove the main access panel and the lower wiring access panel from the generator cabinet. Refer
to 2.4.0 for instructions for removing the external covers. The metal cross brace found at the front of
the cabinet (below the circuit board mounting panel) may be used, in conjunction with the lip at the
upper edge of the opening for the lower wiring access panel, as lifting points. Two people (one on
each side) will be required to lift or maneuver the generator cabinet.

REMOVING THE EXTERNAL COVERS
NOTE: A POTENTIAL HAZARD EXISTS TO OPERATORS, SERVICE PERSONNEL, OR TO THE

EQUIPMENT IF THE GENERATOR IS OPERATED WITH ANY OF THE GROUND LEADS TO THE
EXTERNAL COVERS DISCONNECTED OR IMPROPERLY CONNECTED.
BE SURE TO PROPERLY RECONNECT ALL GROUND LEADS AFTER COMPLETING ANY
PROCEDURE THAT REQUIRES THEIR REMOVAL.
REFER TO FIGURE 2-2 FOR IDENTIFICATION OF COVERS / PANELS DESCRIBED IN THIS
SECTION.
Upper Cabinet Hood

Most generator service and adjustments can be performed by flipping back the hood. It is rarely
necessary to completely remove the hood. However, both procedures are detailed below:
Flipping back the hood
Remove the upper wiring channel if fitted. The procedure for doing this is detailed later in 2.4.0. Remove
screws A (four places, shown in figure 2-2) on both sides of the hood. Loosen screw B on both sides of
the hood by 1-2 turns.
Lift up on the front of the hood, allowing the hood to pivot on screws B. The hood should be
supported when flipped open such that the hood does not exert excess pressure on the back of the
cabinet.
Removing the hood
With the hood flipped back, disconnect the ground wire at the base of the upper cabinet. Lower the hood
back to its normal position and remove the two upper screws (B in figure 2-2). Firmly grip the sides of the
hood and slide the hood away from the rest of the cabinet.
Be sure to properly re-connect the ground lead when the hood is replaced.
Main Access Panel

Flip back the upper cabinet hood as described above. This must be done before the main access panel
can be removed. Then remove the screws that secure the main access panel to the generator cabinet
(these screws are located on both sides of the main access panel). The panel may then be pulled away
from the frame. Temporarily disconnect the ground lead connecting the panel to the cabinet, if necessary.
Reverse the above steps to reconnect the ground wire(s), and to reinstall the access panel.
Lower Wiring Access Panel

THIS PANEL IS NOT FITTED IF THE OPTIONAL WIRING CHANNELS ARE USED.
Remove the screw from the upper right hand corner of the panel. Pull out the snaps on the three nylon
fasteners such as to release the panel. Remove the panel from the generator.

Figure 2-10: HV connectors (1 tube tanks)
Figure 2-11: HV connectors (2 tube tanks)
NOTE: PLEASE OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING IF USING METAL CENTER SECTION X-RAY TUBES
The mA feedback signals, as measured at the mA test points on the control board, represent anode mA.
X-ray emission in the tube is a result of the anode current.
The mA measured at terminals E17 - E18 of the HT tank is cathode current. In a metal center section
tube, the anode current will be less than the cathode current, the difference being body current. In a metal
center section tube, the cathode current may exceed the anode current by up to 15%. Although the
anode and cathode currents may be unequal, the anode to cathode kV regulation is not affected.
Due to the presence of body current, filament drive and emission may need to be greater than expected
for a given mA station. The power lost to body current may need to be considered relative to the
maximum generator output.
When installing a metal center section tube, it is essential that the center section of the X-ray tube be
securely grounded; otherwise, premature tube failure may result.

BEFORE MAKING ANY EXPOSURES.
2.13.0 PROGRAMMING THE DUAL SPEED STARTER

This section applies only to units fitted with the dual speed starter option.
The dual speed starter must be programmed for the X-ray tube type(s) used at this site. This is done via
DIP switches SW1 and SW2 on the dual speed starter.
The following tube functions are set with these switches:
High speed start and run voltages
Low speed start and run voltages
Brake time and brake voltage (high speed)
Boost times
Boost time increments. Boost time may be increased in 100 ms steps in the range of 100 to 700 ms
SW1 and SW2 on the dual speed starter must be set correctly to match the X-ray tube(s) in
use. Failure to set these correctly may result in improper anode RPM and therefore may
damage the X-ray tube.
PLEASE BE SURE TO READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS SECTION FULLY BEFORE
PROCEEDING.
2.13.1 Setting tube type

1.
Select the desired tube type from table 2 in supplement 746026, which follows chapter 2. 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.
Several dual speed starters are available, each configured to support one or more types of
stators. Only stators of the type(s) supported by the dual speed starter currently installed may be

2.13.1 Setting tube type (cont)

4.
Refer to figure 2-13. Set the DIP switch SW1 (for tube 1) with the binary code for the selected
tube. The binary code shown in the table programs the tube type (housing and insert), for
example housing type Varian Sapphire with standard R stator and inserts per table 2 in
Supplement 746026, which follows chapter 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 in
table 2.
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
Bit 3
SW1-8

Bit 1
SW1-6
5.
The example DIP switch setting shown in figure 2-13 is for the example in step 4 with an
incremental increase in boost time of 200 ms.
6.
If this is a two-tube installation, repeat steps 1 to 4 using DIP switch SW2 for the second tube.
7.
Please confirm all settings using a suitable tachometer to ensure proper anode RPM
before making any exposures.
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
PROGRAMMED FOR HIGH SPEED OPERATION ONLY. REFER TO THE TUBE SELECTION
SECTION IN CHAPTER 3C FOR THE PROCEDURE TO DO THIS.
THE EXAMPLE DIP SWITCH SHOWN IN FIGURE 2-12 IS REPRESENTATIVE OF ONE
STYLE OF SWITCH ONLY. DEPENDING ON MANUFACTURER, YOUR DIP SWITCH STYLE
MAY VARY. PLEASE NOTE THE ON/OFF POSITIONS CAREFULLY FOR YOUR UNIT.

2.13.2 Confirming/Changing DSS Starter Type
Note that some dual speed starters support more than one stator type via relays to switch the
phase shift capacitors.
The low speed and high speed phase-shift capacitors for the stator start winding must be matched to the
desired stator type, for example the required high speed phase shift capacitor is 6 uF for R type stators
and 7.5 uF for GE Maxiray type stators. Therefore, for example, a dual speed starter that does not
provide 7.5 uF of high speed shift capacitance CANNOT drive a GE Maxiray type stator.
Use the steps in this section to verify that the dual speed starter is compatible with the stator in the
desired tube.
1.
Record the part number of the dual speed starter assembly in the subject generator. This is
printed on a label, near the top left side of the dual speed starter chassis, next to the ground
label.

2.
If it is desired to use a different tube from that shown in the compatible X-ray tubes section of the
customer product description form, confirm that the desired tube (housing and insert) is listed in
table 2 of Supplement 746026 which follows chapter 2, AND that one of the required dual speed
starter part numbers for that tube per table 2 is the same as is fitted in your generator.
3.
If the preceding steps confirm that the desired tube is fully compatible with the generator, you
may proceed with setting the tube type as per section 2.13.1.
4.
If in the preceding steps it is determined that the desired stator IS NOT compatible with the
generator, the phase shift capacitors in the dual speed starter will need to be changed to match
the requirements of the desired tube. Replacement capacitor kits are available to do this as noted
in the next step.
5.
Note the required H.S. SHIFT CAP. and L.S. SHIFT CAP. values, and the corresponding dual
speed starter part number for the desired tube per table 2 in supplement 746026. Using those
capacitor values, refer to table 2-1. From this table select the required conversion kit to convert to
capacitors as required for the selected tube. The conversion kits are available through the
factory/customer support.
IF MAKING THE ABOVE CONVERSION, PLEASE BE SURE TO CHANGE THE PART
NUMBER IDENTIFIED IN STEP 1 TO THE NEW CONFIGURATION USING AN INDELIBLE
MARKER. THIS WILL ENSURE THAT CONFIGURATION CONTROL OF THE PRODUCT IS
MAINTAINED.

2.13.4 Configuring dual speed starter 733317-15 / 735925-15

Dual speed starter part number 733317-15 / 735925-15 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 2-14. In configuration A, (28 uF) two each of the 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 of this capacitor disconnected from the terminals of the adjacent capacitor, thus the capacitor is out
of the circuit.
To change from configuration A to B, disconnect the lower lead from the adjacent capacitor as
shown in figure 2-14, and connect it to the same terminal of the lower right capacitor. This removes
the lower right capacitor from the circuit.
To change from configuration B to A, reconnect the lead between the two capacitors, as shown in
figure 2-14. 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(s) in table 2 of supplement 746026, which follows chapter 2. With dual speed
starter 733317-15 / 735925-15 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. Set the DIP switches as per 2.13.1.

2.14.0 GENERATOR LOCKOUT SWITCH

A safety lockout switch (S3) is provided on the generator interface board. When this switch is in the
LOCKOUT position, the generator cannot be switched on either from the console or from the adjacent
service switch S2 on the generator interface board. This prevents inadvertent switching on of the
generator while it is being serviced.
S3, the generator lockout switch, must be in the NORMAL position to enable switching the
generator on. Refer to figure 2-15 for these switch locations.

2.15.0 SAFETY INTERLOCKS

It is strongly recommended that the following two interlocks be wired to the generator before preparing to
make any exposures:
DOOR INTERLOCK
The room door interlock switch must be wired to the generator before proceeding. Use configuration A or
configuration B as described below, depending on the desired mode of operation.
Configuration A
This configuration inhibits new exposures if the room door is open. This does not interrupt exposures in
process when the door is opened. The door interlock switch is connected to TB4-4 and TB4-5 on the
room interface board.
Configuration B
This configuration inhibits new exposures if the room door is open, and stops fluoro exposures if the room
door is opened during a fluoro exposure. One pole on the door interlock switch is connected to TB4-4 and
TB4-5 on the room interface board. One side of the second pole on the door interlock switch connects to
TB6-5 on the room interface board, and one side of the fluoro footswitch connects to TB6-6. The other
side of the room interlock switch and the other side of the fluoro footswitch should be spliced together
using a suitable insulated connector. This wires the door interlock switch and the fluoro footswitch in
series across the remote fluoro exposure input terminals TB6-5 and TB6-6. Refer to MD-0763 in chapter
9.
X-RAY TUBE THERMAL SWITCH

The X-ray tube(s) thermal switch(s) should be connected to the generator for tube thermal protection.
These may be connected either at the stator terminal blocks (section 2.9.4), or at the room interface
board. The connections on the room interface board are TB4-8 and TB4-9 for tube 1, and TB4-6 and
TB4-7 for tube 2.
2.16.0 CHECKING THE RAM BACKUP BATTERY VOLTAGE

It is recommended that the backup battery voltage be checked before continuing. The normal life
expectancy of these batteries is estimated at 5 years.
CONSOLE CPU BOARD (23 X 56 cm console):
1.

2.18.0 INITIAL RUN-UP

This section describes the procedure 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.
2.18.1 Initial Voltage Measurements

1.
Verify that the mains voltage and current capacity is correct for the generator installation. Refer to
the product ID label on the generator cabinet and chapter 1C of this manual.
2.
Temporarily remove the safety cover over the main input fuses in the generator.
3.
If the mains supply is compatible with the generator, switch on the main breaker and/or
disconnect switch and check for the following voltages:
NOTE: DO NOT SWITCH ON THE GENERATOR AT THIS TIME. ONLY THE AC MAINS TO THE
GENERATOR IS TO BE SWITCHED ON AT THIS TIME.
WARNING:
1. USE EXTREME CARE IN MEASURING THESE VOLTAGES. ACCIDENTAL CONTACT

WITH MAINS VOLTAGES MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
2. MAINS VOLTAGE WILL BE PRESENT INSIDE THE GENERATOR CABINET, EVEN WITH
THE CONSOLE SWITCHED OFF.
3. THE DC BUS CAPACITORS, LOCATED ON THE POWER INPUT BOARD AND ABOVE
THE HT TANK ON SOME MODELS, PRESENT A SAFETY HAZARD FOR UP TO 5 MINUTES
AFTER THE POWER HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE UNIT. CHECK THAT THESE
CAPACITORS ARE DISCHARGED BEFORE TOUCHING ANY PARTS.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE VOLTAGE MEASURED IN STEP 4 WILL NOT NECESSARILY BE THE
SAME AS THE VOLTAGE AT THE MAIN DISCONNECT BOX IN THE ROOM. THE REASON FOR
THIS IS THAT A LINE ADJUSTING TRANSFORMER MAY BE USED WITH THE GENERATOR
WHICH STEPS THE INCOMING LINE VOLTAGE TO THE GENERATOR UP OR DOWN.
GENERATORS WITH NO LINE ADJUSTING TRANSFORMER SHOULD HAVE THE SAME
VOLTAGE IN STEP 4 AS IS SUPPLIED AT THE MAIN DISCONNECT BOX IN THE ROOM. UNITS
WITH A LINE ADJUSTING TRANSFORMER SHOULD HAVE THE FOLLOWING VOLTAGES AT THE
MAIN LINE FUSES IN THE POWER SUPPLY CABINET.

2.19.0 PROGRAMMING AND CALIBRATION

Refer to chapter 3C, 3D, 3E, and 3F (as applicable) for programming and calibration of the generator.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING REGARDING GenWare AND THE DATA LINK FUNCTION
For the 23 X 56 cm and 31 X 42 cm membrane consoles and for the touchscreen console, the DATA
LINK function on the consoles is directly used to communicate with a PC running the CPI GenWare
utility software. This allows transfer of APR data, editing of APR text, performing generator setup and
calibration, and has other minor functionality. Further documentation is included with PC GenWare.
For the 31 X 42 cm console and the Rad-only console, the DATA LINK button provides access to the
function CONNECT TO GENWARE, which allows for communication with GenWare on that console.
Refer to chapter 3C.
A computer (i.e. a laptop) and a 9-pin null-modem cable with socket connectors (female) on both ends
are required to run this software and interface to the generator.
The null-modem cable will normally be connected from a serial port on the computer that is running
GenWare to the DATA LINK connector (membrane consoles) or to COM 1 / COM 2 (touchscreen
console). Refer to the figure Rear of control console earlier in this chapter for the location of this
connector.
If the data link connector is not available, i.e. on units without a CPI supplied console, J1 or J2 on
the generator CPU board may be used.
CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL COMPUTER TO J11 ON THE GENERATOR CPU
BOARD MAY DAMAGE THE COMPUTER. THIS WAS DESIGNED FOR CONNECTION
OF THE OPTIONAL REMOTE FLUORO CONTROL ONLY.
NOTE: PC GenWare should be closed before exiting the DATA LINK function on the console. Failure to
do so may require that the console be switched off and then on again in order to re-initialize
communication with the generator.

2.20.0 TUBE 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 calibration and seasoning 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 auto calibration.
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.
Before beginning tube auto calibration on Tube 2 (if applicable), a receptor programmed for Tube 2 operation must be selected.
It is recommended that the tube(s) be conditioned (seasoned) during tube auto calibration, particularly if the tube has not been
used for some time. Refer to chapter 6.
WARNING:
THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES PRODUCE X-RAYS. TAKE ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT PERSONNEL
FROM X-RADIATION.

THE GENERATOR IS SWITCHED OFF. THIS ALLOWS LIMITED FUNCTIONALITY OF THE GENERATOR IN CASE THE AUTO CALIBRATION
COULD NOT BE COMPLETED DUE TO A FAULT.
WHILE IN THIS MODE, THE GENERATOR WILL DEFAULT THE FILAMENT CURRENT TO 2.0 AMPS FOR ALL UNCALIBRATED MA STATIONS.
ADDITIONALLY, THE MA TOLERANCE CHECK WILL BE DISABLED.
THIS ALLOWS ONE TO EXIT TO THE NORMAL OPERATING MODE WHERE THE PREP STATE MAY BE ENTERED. THE FILAMENT AND
ROTOR CIRCUITS CAN BE OBSERVED, AND AN EXPOSURE MAY BE TAKEN AT THIS TIME. THE EXPOSURE WILL OBVIOUSLY BE
INCORRECT, AS THE FILAMENT CURRENT IS SET TO 2 AMPS, BUT THIS ALLOWS KV MEASUREMENTS TO BE PERFORMED ALONG WITH
OTHER SYSTEM CHECKS TO AID IN TROUBLESHOOTING.
2.21.0 FINAL CHECKS

The room interface connections may now be completed. These items are described in 2.9.6.
When finished all wiring, check that all connections are tight and secure.
Check that all cables are dressed neatly inside the main cabinet, kept away from high voltage areas, and secured as necessary.
Check the Blanking Plate at the back of the control cabinet. Refer to the Major generator subassemblies (right side and rear) figure
in the Generator Cabinet Assembly section of Chapter 1E. If necessary, lower the blanking plate such as to reduce the cable access
gap to acceptable limits. There must be a minimum of 1 / 16 (1 mm) clearance above the cabling.
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.

INTRODUCTION
This supplement contains the X-Ray Tube Stator Compatibility Tables for the Low Speed Starter and the
Dual Speed Starter.
2.0
LOW SPEED STARTER TUBE SELECT TABLE

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 (LSS) 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.
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 and may be changed in the field. The LSS
part number corresponds to the value of capacitor installed. 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.

Toshiba Rotanode
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: Comet tube inserts with the prefix DI and DX are interchangeable.
NOTE 2: Complete Toshiba tube assemblies include the suffix X, FX, GX, or JX, which are interchangeable
with respect to rotor and anode characteristics.
NOTE 3: 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.

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 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.

THE DUAL SPEED STARTER USES MODULATION STRATEGIES TO OBTAIN THE DESIRED OUTPUTS. MEASURED VOLTAGES MAY NOT AGREE WITH
THOSE LISTED IN THE TABLE. HOWEVER, THE CURRENTS FLOWING IN THE STATOR WINDINGS ARE EQUIVALENT TO THOSE THAT WOULD EXIST IF
THE STATOR WAS EXCITED WITH THESE VOLTAGES.
**
Dual Speed Starter part numbers 733317-XX (Indico 100) 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) 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).
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.
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 Starters 733317-01 / 735925-01 (Indico 100 only) provide 6 F of high speed and 31 F of low speed shift capacitance. Dual Speed
Starters 733317-13 / 735925-13 may be used in place of Dual Speed Starter -01 in all cases and are preferred.
Dual Speed Starters 733317-12 / 735925-12 (Indico 100) and 901297-12 / 901298-12 (CMP 200 DR) are universal configurations, providing either
6 F or 7.5 F of high speed and either 36 F or 37.5 F of low speed shift capacitance. Capacitor selection is made automatically by relays located
on the Dual Speed Starter.
Dual Speed Starters 733317-13 / 735925-13 (Indico 100) and 901297-13 / 901298-13 (CMP 200 DR) are universal configurations, providing either
5 F or 6 F of high speed and 30 F of low speed shift capacitance. Capacitor selection is made automatically by relays located on the Dual Speed
Starter.
Dual Speed Starters 733317-16 / 735925-16 (Indico 100) and 901297-16 / 901298-16 (CMP 200 DR) are special configurations, providing either
6 F or 12.5 F of high speed and either 31.5 F or 37.5 F of low speed shift capacitance. Capacitor selection is made automatically by relays
located on the Dual Speed Starter. These starters are intended for used in place of Dual Speed Starter -13 in two-tube systems that include both a
standard R stator (requiring 6 F of high speed capacitance) and a tube requiring 12.5F of high speed shift capacitance (Philips ROT 350//500).

CPI Canada Inc.
Dual Speed Starters 733317-17 / 735925-17 (Indico 100 only) are special configurations, providing either 5 F or 12.5 F of high speed and either 30
F or 37.5 F of low speed shift capacitance. Capacitor selection is made automatically by relays located on the Dual Speed Starter. These starters
may be used in place of Dual Speed Starter configuration -13 in two-tube systems that include both a tube requiring 5F of high speed shift
capacitance (typically IAE tubes) and a tube requiring 12.5F of high speed shift capacitance (Philips ROT350/500). Do not use these starters with
Siemens tubes due to high-speed shift capacitor voltage limitations.
NOTE 3:
Comet tube inserts with the prefix DI and DX are interchangeable.
NOTE 4:
Philips ROT housing with the windings connected in series (high impedance configuration).
NOTE 5:
Philips ROT housing with the windings connected in parallel (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 when using Dunlee tubes.
NOTE 7:
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 8:
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 9:
Dual Speed Starters 733317-15 / 735925-15 (Indico 100) and 901297-15 / 901298-15 (CMP 200 DR) have jumper selectable phase shift
capacitance that allows selection of 15.5 F or 28 F low speed shift capacitors for operation with CGR (GE) Statorix or Toshiba E7252 (XS-R/RA
stator) tubes, respectively, as per table 2. By default, this starter is factory set to the 28 F position. Confirm proper configuration per the
section configuring dual speed starter 733317-15 / 735925-15 in chapter 2 before proceeding. These starters also support standard R
stators that require 6 F of high speed shift capacitance.
(Indico 100 only): If configured for 28 F of low speed capacitance, these Dual Speed Starters also support tubes listed in Table 2 as requiring Dual
Speed Starters 733317-13 / 735925-13 and requiring 6 F of high speed capacitance. For two-tube operation, this configuration will support: a)
these tubes and the Toshiba E7252/XS-RA (high and low speed) simultaneously, or, b) these tubes and a CGR Statorix tube (high-speed only)
simultaneously. The Toshiba and CGR tubes can be supported simultaneously if one or both of these tubes are operated in high-speed mode only.
(CMP 200 DR only): If configured for 28 F low speed capacitance, these Dual Speed Starters also support tubes listed in Table 2 as requiring
Dual Speed Starters 901297-13 / 901298-13 and requiring 6 F of high speed capacitance.

DRY CONTACT INPUT ONLY
The table stepper function requires a signal from the table that indicates when to step to the next technique.
When the table stepper function is enabled, the software will dedicate the spare input as the table stepper
input. When the table stepper function is not enabled, this input may be used as a spare input.
The table must provide a signal that causes opto coupler U21 on the generator interface board to turn off, or to
turn on (refer to MD-0763) when the generator should step to the next technique. This may be via an open or
closed contact, or a 24 VDC source, depending on the input configuration. This input is edge triggered in the
table stepper mode, where a high-to-low or low-to-high transition indicates that the table has requested the
generator to select the next kV-mAs step.
** Refer to chapter 2, the section SAFETY INTERLOCKS for wiring options for the door interlock switch and the
fluoro footswitch.
*** On some models, this input is designated as the remote high-level fluoro select input. If applicable, this will be
documented as such in chapter 3E. If the HLF select input is programmed as CONSOLE, this will be the I.I.
safety input. If the HLF select input is programmed as REMOTE, this will be the remote HLF selection.

3B.3.3 Selecting Output Voltages (Cont)

The above voltage sources are not compatible with:
Collimator lamps (24 VAC 150 watts). These lamps are not compatible with the 24 VDC supply. Contact
your generator supplier regarding the optional 24VAC / 30VDC room power kit, which may be used for
collimator lamps and other room electromechanical devices.
Fluorescent lamps. These have high starting currents and generate transients when the tube strikes.
Some inductive loads may cause difficulties (for example some motors, under table tube fans, and
solenoids).
IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT CLAMPING / RECOVERY DIODES BE USED ON
INDUCTIVE DEVICES SUCH AS RELAYS, ETC WHICH ARE CONNECTED TO THE ROOM
INTERFACE BOARD.
Voltage selections are made by adding jumper wires from TB11 to TB8, TB9, or TB10, and placing the
jumpers on JW1, JW2, JW3, JW4, or JW5 in the live contact position.
Review figure 3B-3 for typical examples.
Figure 3B-3: Typical jumper arrangement on the room interface board
The Bucky select and Bucky start relays K1, K2, K3, K4 and K6 on the room interface board have
provision 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, K2, K3, K4 and
K6 on the room interface 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 room interface board are open.

3B.3.3 Selecting Output Voltages (Cont)

FOR OLDER BUCKYS WITH RELAY INPUTS:
Refer to the table below and to MD-0763 in chapter 9. The required jumpers (JW12, JW9, JW11,
JW10 and JW14) must be installed to complete the R-C snubber circuit.
FOR NEWER BUCKYS WITH OPTO-COUPLER INPUTS:
No action required. Junpers JW12, JW9, JW11, JW10 and JW14 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 jumper wires that must be installed to complete the R-C snubber circuit across K1, K2, K3, K4 and K6
on the room interface board are shown below.

3B.3.5 Wiring The Room Interface Terminal Plugs
Figure 3B-4: Terminal plug
Remove the required mating connectors from TB1 to TB6 on the room interface board.
Back out the wire retaining screws as required.
Dress the interface cable with a minimum of 5 inch (130 mm) flying leads.
Strip each wire 0.25 inches (6 mm).
Insert the wire into the plug and tighten the terminal screw. Several wires may be inserted into a single
terminal connection.
Be sure the plug numbering matches the input/output signals.
Insert the plug into the room interface plug as shown in Figure 3B-4.
Leave sufficient cable to allow interface access.
To eliminate confusion, label each plug.
Cable access covers are located on the rear panel of the generator to allow for cable entry. The cables
should be secured to the lip on the inside of the access covers using tie-wraps or equivalent fasteners.

3B.4.0 GENERATOR INTERFACE BOARD PROGRAMMING FOR 110/220 VAC

The 110/220 VAC supplies available at TB9 and TB10 of the room interface board may be programmed
such that:
110/220 VAC is present at TB9 and TB10 at all times that the generator main disconnect is switched
ON.
110/220 VAC is present at TB9 and TB10 only when the generator itself is switched ON.
The desired selection is made using JW1 on the generator interface board. Setting the jumper to JW1 pins
1-2 selects the condition where 110/220 VAC is present at TB9 and TB10 only when the generator is
switched ON.
Setting the jumper to JW1 pins 2-3 selects 110/220 VAC to be present at TB9 and TB10 at all
times that the generator main disconnect is switched ON.
Refer to figure 3B-5; this shows the jumper position JW1 pins 1-2 which only provides for 110/220 VAC
when the generator is switched ON.

3C.1.0 INTRODUCTION
If you are using a conventional operator control console, the generator may be programmed and
calibrated via the control console or via PC GenWare. When using the console for programming and
calibration, all programming / calibration menus are displayed on the LCD display window on the console.
The ten soft key buttons (1 to 10 in the figure below) 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. This requires the GenWare utility software, which can be accessed via the
Genware button in the System Utilities menu. PC GenWare may be used to program the
generator if desired.
3C.1.1 Entering Into Programming Mode

To enter into the programming mode if using the membrane console follow the steps below.
Figure 3C-1: Programming/calibration mode reference
Use these steps to access the GENERATOR SETUP menu (membrane console).
Step
1.
2.
Action (GenWare)
Start with the generator switched OFF.

While pressing and holding the RESET
button, press the generator POWER ON
button on the console.
3.
When the generator has finished the startup

sequence, enter the password by pressing
the button sequence [1] [8] [4] [5].

APR EDITOR
DESCRIPTION
Enables / disables the ability of the operator to make and then save changes to APR techniques..
ENABLED:
Allows the operator to change the default APR technique(s), and then save the changes to memory. The APR
will subsequently default to the changed technique.
DISABLED:
Allows temporary editing of APR technique(s), but does not allow the changes to be saved to memory. The
APR will always default to the original technique when the generator is switched OFF and then ON again.
The generator stores the last APR EDITOR setting before being switched off. If the APR editor was previously
ENABLED, APR changes may subsequently be made and then saved in normal operating mode without the need to
manually set the APR editor to ENABLED. To disable APR technique changes, the APR editor must be set to
DISABLED.
NOTE:
APR text may be altered by using a computer running PC GenWare. Further documentation regarding this function is included

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 zerocrossing detector on the generator interface 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 ENSURE THAT THE SELECTED X-RAY TUBE STATOR(S) ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THE LOW SPEED OR DUAL
SPEED STARTER IN YOUR GENERATOR. REFER TO THE STARTER PROGRAMMING SECTION IN CHAPTER 2.
New or replacement X-ray tubes must be auto-calibrated before the generator is placed into service.
Refer to TUBE AUTO CALIBRATION in chapter 2 for details.
Typically, the boost time should be between 200 and 250 msec, and the preheat time should be in the range of 700 - 800 ms.
If in doubt, monitor the filament feedback and be sure that there is no change in the signal level 5 ms. after the start of an exposure, and that
the mA starts at the selected level.
Standby current must be below the emission point. If the standby current is too high, the lower fluoro mA values may not calibrate
properly resulting in a high mA fault error during fluoro operation.
If the maximum filament current is increased, be careful not to exceed the tube manufacturers specifications.

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 (idle)
mode. Standby mode includes fluoroscopic hangover.
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.
FLUORO EXP
Sets the state of the I/O when the generator starts a

fluoroscopic 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. If multiple inputs are programmed high, for example if
REMOTE PREP and CONSOLE PREP are both high in the prep state, then both inputs will need to be active before the generator will enter
the prep state.
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.
Certain functions have states indicated by a dotted line. The dotted line indicates invalid states, which cannot be altered. Only states
shown by a solid line can be changed. Refer to figure 3C-17 for examples of a TYPICAL input configuration.

On the Inputs and Outputs tabs, the generator states are shown above the vertical grey / red bars (grey / white bars for TouchScreen
GenWare). For inputs, grey indicates states where the input cannot be programmed. Only states that are shown in red (white) can be
changed. Outputs are programmable for each of the five 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. If multiple inputs are enabled, for example if Remote Prep
and Console Prep are both checked in the prep state, then both inputs will need to be active before the generator will enter the prep 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.

3C.6.0 DATA LINK (Connect to GenWare)

This is used with the CPI PC GenWare utility software. This allows for data communication with a computer in order to download additional
tube types, transfer APR data, edit APR text, perform setup and calibration functions, and for other minor functions. Further documentation is
included with PC GenWare.
A computer (i.e. a laptop) and a 9-pin null-modem cable with socket connectors (female) on both ends are required to connect the computer
to the generator in order to run GenWare.
Connect the null-modem cable from a serial port on the computer with GenWare to the DATA LINK connector on the rear of the control
console. Refer to the figure Rear of control console in chapter 2 for the location of this connector.
From the GENERATOR SETUP menu select DATA LINK, and then select CONNECT TO GENWARE. A DATA LINK submenu will
open, indicating WAITING FOR DATAPLEASE DO NOT TURN OFF POWER.
Switch on the computer and start GenWare.
GenWare is ready for use when communication is established with the generator.
If the data link connector is not available, i.e. on units without a CPI supplied console, J1 or J2 on the generator CPU board may be used.
CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL COMPUTER TO J11 ON THE GENERATOR CPU BOARD MAY DAMAGE THE
COMPUTER. THIS WAS DESIGNED FOR CONNECTION OF THE OPTIONAL REMOTE FLUORO CONTROL ONLY.
NOTE: PC GenWare should be closed before exiting the DATA LINK function on the console. Failure to do so may require that the
console be switched off and then on again in order to re-initialize communication with the generator.

The AEC board shown below has short AEC time compensation, and is configurable to be compatible with
most AEC pickups on the market. This assembly also contains a low current, high voltage supply for a photo

3D.2.5 AEC Board (Universal AEC Board With Short AEC Time Compensation) Cont
The following potentiometers are used for short AEC exposure time compensation:
Potentiometers R10, R19, and R24 adjust the output of the +300 / +500 VDC (ion chamber) and -1000 VDC
(PMT) high voltage supply. The +300 / +500 VDC outputs are available on J1 to J4 as defined in tables 3D-7
and 3D-8, and 1000 VDC is available on J7.
Logic circuits on the AEC interface board are connected to the AEC channel select lines, and switch
the potentiometers that adjust the high voltage into the circuit per the following matrix:
R10 is active when no AEC channel is selected, i.e. during ABS operation. The adjustment of this
potentiometer is described in chapter 3E.
R19 is active when AEC channel 4 is selected. Channel 4 is typically used for digital applications. The
AEC pickup will usually be a PMT or photo diode. The adjustment of this pot is described later in this
chapter, under AEC USING A PMT.
R24 is active when AEC channels 1, 2 or 3 are selected. Channels 1 to 3 may be used for film-based
AEC using an ion chamber or solid-state chamber, or may be used for digital applications using a PMT
or photo diode, or any combination of the above.
If AEC channels 1, 2, and 3 are all used with ion chambers, and all three channels require the same ion
chamber bias voltage, R24 should be adjusted to set the nominal +300 / +500 VDC outputs to the
required bias voltage.
If AEC channel 1, 2, or 3 is used for digital applications using a PMT, R24 will need to be adjusted to
supply the required PMT voltage during AEC operation on those channels. The adjustment of this pot
for setting the PMT high voltage is described later in this chapter, under AEC USING A PMT. In this
case, the +300 / +500 VDC supply cannot be optimized for ion chamber use. If an ion chamber is
connected to any of the remaining channels, it must have a built-in high voltage bias supply.
Tables 3D-7 and 3D-8 show the pin outs for the 12 pin connectors J1 to J4 on the universal AEC board. The
pins on J7 are all connected in parallel, thus the PMT high voltage may be taken from any of the pins on that
connector.

3D.2.6 Pre-calibration Notes

This section contains information that must be understood and confirmed before proceeding with 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 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
BACK UP TIME.
When using a PMT or photodiode for AEC, there is normally no need to iterate all the kV break points. It
is usually sufficient 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.
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.
During AEC calibration, always ensure that the central ray is centered relative to the image receptor.
Prior to placing the absorbers, ensure that the collimator is opened sufficiently to irradiate ALL fields on
the AEC pickup device.
The recommended absorber is Lexan. Water of a similar thickness is also a suitable absorber. This
should be in a plastic container of uniform thickness.
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.
All components and assemblies 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.
The generator must be known to be calibrated before proceeding.
Care must be exercised when using table Buckys with low kV values because most tabletops and grids
absorb considerable radiation in the range of 60 65 kV. 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.2.7 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.

Use these steps to perform the table Bucky AEC calibration.
Step
Action
IF THE AEC BOARD BEING CALIBRATED HAS SHORT AEC TIME COMPENSATION POTENTIOMETERS, THE SHORT
EXPOSURE TIME COMPENSATION MUST FIRST BE DISABLED.
TO DO THIS, ADJUST ALL SHORT AEC EXPOSURE TIME COMPENSATION POTS TO ZERO BY TURNING EACH OF THESE
POTENTIOMETERS FULLY CLOCKWISE. THESE ARE MULTI-TURN POTENTIOMETERS, AND MUST BE TURNED BY AS
MUCH AS 25 TURNS TO REACH THE ZERO-OHMS LIMIT.
FAILURE TO PRESET THESE POTS WILL RESULT IN DIFFICULTY IN PERFORMING AEC CALIBRATION.
1.
Set up the X-ray tube stand as shown in figure 3D-11.
2.
Align the tube stand and table 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-10) in the X-ray field, ensuring that the radiation is COMPLETELY
blocked by the absorber.

Action
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. mAs adjustments
for film screen 2 at 75 kV must only be made by varying the 75 kV breakpoint calibration numbers.
37.
Repeat steps 10 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. mAs adjustments
for film screen 3 at 75 kV must only be made by varying the 75 kV breakpoint calibration numbers.

THESE STEPS ONLY APPLY IF AEC EXPOSURES LESS THAN APPROXIMATELY 15 MS ARE REQUIRED, AND THE AEC

Select the image receptor to be short AEC time compensated, i.e. table Bucky.
Select the highest film speed used on the selected receptor, and then select 75 kV.
Set the mA per table 3D-10 for the film speed being used. Reinstall the absorber as per table 3D-10 for the 75 kV breakpoint.
Make an exposure and confirm the mAs readings as previously recorded in table 3D-11.
Increase the mA such as to decrease the AEC exposure time to approximately 10 ms.
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).
Increase the mA again such as to decrease the AEC exposure time to approximately 6 ms (but not less).
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.
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-11. Ensure that the absorber thickness and mA values are as per table 3D-10 when readjusting the AEC gain
pot.
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.
Repeat steps 1 to 10 for each image receptor (AEC channel) to be short AEC time compensated.

3D.8.0 AEC DENSITY CALIBRATION (Cont)

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 programmed out per the procedure below. For example, if only 5 density steps are desired, then density steps 6, 7, 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-11.
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-12 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.

3D.9.0 RLF COMPENSATION

The following points should be noted regarding RLF compensation. RLF compensation is normally only needed if special techniques are used
that result in AEC exposures greater than 100 ms.
If perfect, film would provide linear density changes with linearly increasing exposure times. In reality, at longer exposures, film effectively
becomes slower. This effect is known as reciprocity law failure. To compensate, exposure times must be increased at longer exposures.
This compensation is achieved by increasing the AEC reference voltage at longer exposure times. RLF compensation is applied to
three ranges (50-500 ms, 500-1000 ms, and 1000- 1500 ms) as shown below.
The examples below are not meant to represent actual RLF compensation percentages in your installation. Actual values will need to
be determined per the procedure following.
Between 0 and 50 ms no RLF compensation is applied. Per figure 3D-14, the AEC reference voltage is constant at 1 unit between 0 and 50
ms.
At 50 ms, RLF compensation = 10% is applied. This means that the reference voltage will increase by 10% between 50 ms and 500 ms in a
linear fashion. At 500 ms the reference voltage is then 1.0 X 1.10 = 1.10 units.
At 500 ms, RLF compensation = 20% is applied. This means that the reference voltage will increase by 20% between 500 ms and 1000 ms
in a linear fashion. At 1000 ms the reference voltage is then 1.10 X 1.20 = 1.32 units.
At 1000 ms, RLF compensation = 30% is applied. This means that the reference voltage will increase by 30% between 1000 ms and 1500
ms in a linear fashion. At 1500 ms the reference voltage is then 1.32 X 1.30 = 1.72 units
The rate of increase of the reference voltage beyond 1500 ms will be constant, up to limit of the B.U.T. (backup timer).
The compensation curve resulting from the RLF values described above is depicted in the graph below.

In GenWare, the multiple-spot compensation function is included in the Film Screen Options tab (figure 3D-15).
Multiple-spot compensation may be required when doing multiple exposures on a single film. In this mode of serial recording, the X-ray field
is usually coned down to a small area. Due to the lack of scatter and possible AEC field cutoff, an AEC density offset may be added if
required. This offset is known as multiple-spot compensation.
In order to activate the multiple-spot compensation feature, the R & F table must supply a closed dry contact when the SFD is operated in
multi-spot mode. The multi-spot input to the generator is at TB5 pins 11 and 12 on the room interface board.

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

If the wall Bucky will be used for conventional as well as chest radiography, then two grids should ideally be used. See the note at the

NOTE: BREAKPOINT CALIBRATIONS MAY PREVIOUSLY HAVE BEEN DONE FOR ALL THREE FILM SCREEN COMBINATIONS DURING
TABLE BUCKY AEC CALIBRATION. IF SO, THE REMAINING IMAGE RECEPTORS MUST USE THE CALIBRATION CURVES
PREVIOUSLY ESTABLISHED FOR THOSE FILM SCREENS.
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. (100 CM) SIDS WITH THE APPROPRIATE PREVIOUSLY CALIBRATED FILM SCREEN. THE SECOND

Set up the absorber as shown in figure 3D-17. Start with 20 cm of Lexan. Ensure that the radiation is completely blocked by the
absorber.
The central ray from the X-ray tube must coincide with the center of the I.I.
Ensure that an anti-scatter grid, if used, is properly installed. The R-probe must be between the grid and the II input, even if this
requires temporary repositioning of the grid.
Set the SID to the normally used position. This SID must be maintained for the balance of AEC calibration.
Set the collimator to irradiate an area just beyond the detector circumference.
Be sure that all compensating filters are out of the active beam.
Use the largest field of view, i.e. 12 inch in the remaining steps, unless directed otherwise.
The short exposure time compensation for the AEC channels that will be used with digital applications must be disabled before
continuing. To do this, adjust the applicable short AEC time compensation potentiometers to zero by turning the required
potentiometers fully clockwise. These are multi-turn potentiometers, and must be turned by as much as 25 turns to reach the zeroohms limit.

3D.15.0 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.
RLF (reciprocity law failure) compensation is provided to compensate for longer AEC exposure
times. An offset may be added to each AEC calibration set (each film screen combination) to increase the
AEC ON time as exposure time increases. RLF compensation is applied to the following range of times:
50 ms to 500 ms.
500 ms to 1000 ms.
1000 ms and above.
3D.15.1 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.
Refer to figure 3D-19.

3D.15.2 AEC Calibration Range

Since the Indico 100 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-20 illustrates the different windows required for various film screen combinations.

3D.15.3 Multiple Spot Compensation

Separate density compensation is provided when a SFD (Spot Film Device) is used for doing multiple
exposures on a single film. In this mode of operation, the X-ray field is usually coned down to a small area.
Due to the resulting AEC field cutoff, an AEC offset may be required. This is designated multiple spot
compensation.
An external output from the SFD must be provided when multiple spots are requested to enable this
function.

3D.16.4 AEC Pickup Connections (Overview)

Review the applicable sections of chapter 3C for programming the image receptors to select the correct
AEC channel (or no AEC if desired). It should be ensured that each receptor used for AEC has a Bucky or
equivalent. A typical R&F room configuration will consist of combinations of the following:
Table Bucky.
Wall Bucky.
Spot film Bucky.
Digital acquisition.
Refer to Figure 3D-23 for typical AEC connections. This is a simplified view only; refer to figures 3D-1 to 3D5 for the AEC board layout used in Indico 100 X-ray generators. Only four AEC inputs are available. More
than one AEC input may be used for digital applications, but this will reduce the available inputs for ion or
solid-state AEC chambers.

3E.1.0 INTRODUCTION
This section provides an overview of various ABS pickup devices, wiring information for connecting these
to the generator, and the procedure for ABS setup and calibration.
3E.1.1 Required Test Equipment

The following test equipment is required for ABS calibration.
Resolution test pattern.
Central ray alignment fixture.
Collimator centering test pattern.
A selection of Al filters for HVL determination.
Water or lexan (or equivalent) absorbers in various thicknesses. Water should be in a plastic
container of uniform thickness.
Digital storage oscilloscope.
Radiation dosimeter. Must be capable of measuring mGy / min and uGy / min as well as dose rate
per frame.
3E.2.0 ABS / AEC PICKUP INSTALLATION / WIRING

ABS
For digital imaging systems, the ABS control signal is typically supplied by a PMT or by the imaging
system in the form of a DC signal that is proportional to brightness.
AEC
A maximum of four inputs are available on the AEC board. These inputs are available for use with ion or
solid-state AEC chambers as described in chapter 3D, or with a PMT or photo diode as described in this
section, or a combination of both.
Figures 3E-1 to 3E-3 illustrate typical combinations of ABS / AEC pickups used in modern digital imaging
systems.
THE GENERATOR IS FACTORY CONFIGURED FOR ONE SPECIFIC TYPE OF ABS / AEC PICKUP

3E.2.1 PMT (Photo Multiplier Tube)

A PMT may be used for kV and / or kV/mA control during ABS operation and for AEC control for digital
acquistions, or for AEC control for digital acquistions only. The generator must be fitted with the
Universal AEC Board assembly if using a PMT. The high voltage supply for the PMT is located on this
assembly.
1. Dress the PMT cable such as to allow the dynode high voltage lead to connect to J7 on the AEC
interface board. J7 is the high voltage output for the PMT; all pins on this connector are connected in
parallel and thus any of the four pins on J7 may be used. Ensure that the high voltage lead is rated at
1500 VDC minimum.
NOTE: The total resistive load of all dynodes must be greater than 1 megohm to prevent excessive
PMT power supply loading.
2. Wire the PMT as per figure 3E-1 or 3E-3.
3. Secure the PMT high voltage and signal cables such as to prevent mechanical stress on the
connections.
4. Position the jumpers on the generator interface board as per table 3E-1.
5. The PMT high voltage calibration for ABS will be done in a later step. The PMT high voltage
calibration for AEC is described in chapter 3D.
3E.2.2 Photo Diode

A photo diode may be used for AEC control for digital acquisitions.
1. Wire the photo diode as per figure 3E-2.
2. Secure the cables such as to prevent mechanical stress on the connections.
3E.2.3 DC Proportional
The DC proportional signal is generated by the digital imaging system, and may be used for kV and / or
kV/mA control during ABS operation.
1. Wire the DC proportional signal as per figure 3E-2 or 3E-3. Depending on the particular imaging
system being used, the ABS feedback signal may be connected to the generator interface board via
the digital I/O board, or the ABS feedback signal may be via a separate cable that will be connected
to J7 on the generator interface board.
2. Secure the cables such as to prevent mechanical stress on the connections.

3E.2.4 Wiring the PMT for ABS and AEC Operation

Systems that use a PMT for ABS and for AEC will typically be wired as shown in figure 3E-1.
The high voltage output for the PMT is taken from J7 on the AEC interface board. Appropriate high
voltage shielded cable should be used for this application.
The signal lead from the PMT is connected to the input of the generator interface board as shown.
Microphone type shielded cable is recommended.
The PMT output is available at J7-10 on the generator interface board via a series resistor on this
board. This output should be connected to the AEC board as per figure 3E-1. Microphone type
shielded cable is recommended.
This provides ABS control via the generator interface board, and AEC control via the connections to
the AEC board:
* Conventional R&F systems will typically use AEC channel 4 for digital acquisitions and possibly
AEC channel 3 for DSA acquisitions. For special procedures generators, AEC channel 4 will typically
be used for cine acquisitions, channel 3 for DSA acquisitions, and channel 2 for digital acquisitions.
The PMT connections to AEC channels 2 and 3 should be omitted if not needed for digital
acquisitions, leaving these inputs available for conventional AEC chambers, if required.

3E.2.5 Wiring Proportional DC for ABS, and a Photo Diode for AEC Operation
Systems that use proportional DC for ABS and a photo diode for AEC will typically be wired as shown in
figure 3E-2.
The proportional DC output from the digital imaging system is typically connected to the digital I/O
board along with the other connections to / from the digital imaging system as detailed in the digital
imaging supplement in the front of this manual. The ABS signal is passed through the digital I/O
board, to J13-20 on the generator interface board, and then to the ABS circuits on the generator
interface board.
In some digital imaging systems, the proportional DC output will be taken directly to the generator
interface board as shown in alternate connection A, below. For the CPIVision digital imaging
system, the proportional DC output is taken directly to BNC connector J8 on the generator interface
board as shown in alternate connection B, below.
The photo diode should be connected to the AEC board as per figure 3E-2. The signal needs to be
split using 47K resistors connected in series with each input on the AEC board. Microphone type
** Conventional R&F systems will typically use AEC channel 4 for digital acquisitions and possibly
AEC channel 3 for DSA acquisitions. For special procedures generators, AEC channel 4 will typically
be used for cine acquisitions, channel 3 for DSA acquisitions, and channel 2 for digital acquisitions.

3E.2.7 ABS Jumper Matrix (Cont)
* Dont care i.e. jumper may be in any position.

** If the magnitude of the proportional DC is greater than 5VDC, JW26 and JW27 on the generator interface
board should be removed. These jumpers should be installed if the magnitude of the proportional DC is less
than or equal to 5VDC.
For the CPIVision imaging system, the proportional DC is 0 to +5VDC, therefore these jumpers should be
installed.
JW24 on the generator interface board must be installed at all times, and JW23 and JW25 on this board must be
out at all times.
3E.3.0 PRE-CALIBRATION CHECKS AND SETUP

Before the ABS system can be calibrated, the imaging system must be functional and properly set up.
Please verify the following:
The image intensifier and its power supply are functional.
The TV camera is calibrated for this application.
All beam attenuating devices are in place.
The tabletop is in position.
The fluoro grid is in the path of the X-ray beam.
The imaging system is in the operational position.
The imaging collimator is functional.
The collimator opening varies as S.I.D. is changed. (S.I.D. = source-image distance).
The collimator opening varies as the image intensifiers MAG mode setting is changed.
The ABS pickup device must be installed and functional.
The half-value layer of the beam must be determined before proceeding. Sufficient filters must be
added to the X-ray tube to provide the required HVL.
The fluoro imaging and receptor devices have been programmed. Refer to chapter 3C.
The kVp and mA must be in calibration. Refer to chapter 4.
Ensure that JW22 on the generator interface board is set properly for the application: Connect JW22
pins 1-2 to provide line frequency sync pulses (for conventional imaging systems), or connect JW22
pins 2-3 for external sync input (for digital imaging systems).

3E.5.0 INITIAL FLUOROSCOPIC SETUP

NOTE:
SOME OF THE FEATURES DESCRIBED IN THIS CHAPTER ARE OPTIONAL. DISREGARD THE SECTIONS THAT DO NOT APPLY.
Note:
This manual contains simulated images of the membrane console display and screen captures of GenWare. Calibration and
setup parameters shown are for illustrative purposes only. The settings and limits shown do not represent CPI recommended
settings to be used during setup and calibration of the generator.
Default settings and limits that are provided in the generator software are not intended as final values in installed generators. All
settings and limits must be confirmed and / or adjusted as required during setup and calibration of the generator.
Note:
The default values in the Dose Limits menus were determined to limit the Air Kerma Rate to less than 44 mGy / min (normal
continuous fluoro, manual mode), less than 88 mGy / min (normal continuous fluoro, ABS mode), less than 88 mGy / min (normal
pulsed fluoro) and less than 176 mGy / min (high-level continuous and pulsed fluoro) with the following test setup in the factory:
- Varian A196 (0.6/1.0) X-ray tube.
- 40 in. (100 cm) S.I.D.
- Total filtration 4.5 mm Al (X-ray tube / housing = 1.8 mm, Collimator = 0.7 mm, added filtration = 2.0 mm).
The Air Kerma Rate limits calibration must be performed as described in this chapter during generator setup and calibration. Do
not simply use the default dose limit values.

CONSOLE:
In this mode, the console HLF button is used to select the high-level fluoro
mode. High-level fluoro exposures will result when HLF is enabled via the
console HLF button and the fluoro foot switch is activated. The high-level
fluoro mode will remain active until the HLF button on the console is
deselected.
This mode is applicable to therapy simulators only.
REMOTE:
In this mode, the II SAFETY input on the room interface board selects highlevel fluoro. HLF will only be selected when the II SAFETY input is active. In
practice, a two-pole footswitch can be used where the contacts from the
first pole are connected to the fluoro exposure input. The second pole on
the foot switch is then connected to the II SAFETY input. Pressing the
fluoro foot switch to close the first set of contacts will activate normal fluoro
mode. Fully depressing the fluoro foot switch will close the second set of
contacts, activating the II SAFETY input. This selects the high-level fluoro
mode.
In this mode, normal fluoro mode will resume as soon as the fluoro
foot switch is released sufficiently to open the second set of contacts.
This function is not available at this time.

3E.7.2 Fluoro ABS Curves Setup

This section details the procedure to reprogram the fluoro ABS curves. Figures 3E-20 to 3E-22 show the factory-default fluoro ABS curves.
This should be reviewed before determining the need to reprogram the factory-default curves. For both low and high-level fluoro, with ABS
on, the mA will follow the programmed curves. In high-level fluoro mode, the mA is multiplied by the factor set via the FL-HLF MA MULT
function.

This section details the procedure to reprogram the pulsed fluoro ABS curves. Figures 3E-24 to 3E-26 show the factory-default pulsed fluoro
ABS curves. The graphs show the mAs that results from the programmed mA and ms values. The graphs should be reviewed before
determining the need to reprogram the factory-default values. For both low and high-level pulsed fluoro, with ABS on, the mA and ms will
follow the programmed mA and ms curves. In high-level pulsed fluoro mode, the mA and the ms is multiplied by the factors set via the PFHPF MA MULT and PF-HPF MS MULT functions respectively.

WARNING: SWITCH OFF THE GENERATOR AND ENSURE THAT ALL CAPACITORS ARE DISCHARGED BEFORE
MAKING AND REMOVING THE PMT CURRENT MEASURING EQUIPMENT IN THE FOLLOWING STEPS
Connect a micro ammeter in series with the PMT signal output. Alternately, if a micro ammeter is not available, use a series
resistor as described below:
Temporarily connect a 10K resistor in series with the PMT output (pin 12 of J7 on the generator interface board). A DVM can
then be used to measure the voltage developed by the PMT current across this resistor. However, this is not the preferred
method of measurement.
Set up the radiation probe as per figure 3E-28. Use a dosimeter with sufficient sensitivity to measure 10-100 uGy (1-10 mR) /
min (typically 150 cc). Set the dosimeter to read uGy / min.
Set up the absorber as shown in figure 3E-28. 20 cm of Lexan is recommended. Ensure that the absorber covers the full input
field of the I.I.
The central ray from the X-ray tube must coincide with the center of the I.I.
Ensure that an anti-scatter grid, if used, is properly installed. The R-probe must be between the grid and the II input, even if this
requires temporary repositioning of the grid.
Set the SID to the normally used position.
Select continuous fluoro. Ensure that the ABS is switched off. Select 75 kV and 1.5 mA.
Ensure that the I.I. is in the NORMAL mode (MAG = 0).
Make a fluoro exposure and measure the I.I. input dose.
Adjust the fluoro mA to obtain a reading of approximately 35 uGy (4 mR) / min.
Adjust the PMT high voltage using R10 on the AEC interface board (refer to figure 3E-29) while pressing the fluoro footswitch
such that the PMT current is 20 to 25 uA. This corresponds to a voltage of 0.20 to 0.25 VDC across the resistor if using the
series-resistor method.
Measure the PMT high voltage at J7 on the AEC interface board using a suitable meter.
USE TP5 ONLY ON THE AEC INTERFACE BOARD FOR THE HV METER GROUND WHEN MEASURING THE PMT HIGH
VOLTAGE. CONNECT THE GROUND FIRST BEFORE MEASURING THE HIGH VOLTAGE.
The high voltage should be approximately -750 to 800 VDC.
If the desired current cannot be obtained within the stated PMT voltage range, the light entrance to the PMT in the optic cube
may need adjustment. Refer to the appropriate manufacturers documentation for the procedure to adjust this.
Disconnect the meter (and resistor, if applicable) that was connected in step 2. Reconnect the PMT signal lead if required.

3F.1.0 INTRODUCTION
This section details setup and programming of the DAP (Dose-Area Product) meter and the AK (Air
Kerma) calculator and display, both being optional on Indico 100 X-ray generators.
Single tube generators will only use 1 DAP chamber, two tube generators may use 1 or 2 DAP chambers.
Any references made to tube 2 or the ability to switch tubes in this section apply to two tube generators
only.
Implementation of DAP requires hardware a DAP chamber and DAP circuits in the generator to process
the DAP signal from the DAP chamber. The AK calculator requires no additional hardware. Air kerma
measurements are made at several kV stations; the resulting measurements, in mGy, are then entered
into the generator AK setup menu. The generator uses the measured values to build a look-up table in
order to calculate and display accumulated air kerma and air kerma rate.
3F.2.0 DAP INTERFACING

3F.2.1 DAP Compatibility
The Indico 100 X-ray generator, when equipped with the DAP option, is compatible with the DAP devices
listed in section 3F.4.1. The correct DAP device(s) must be selected in the DAP Setup menu as
described in sections 3F.4.1, 3F.4.2, or 3F.4.3 in order to ensure device compatibility.
The DAP chamber, when fitted with the proper interconnect cable, plugs directly into the DAP interface
board in the generator. When ordering the DAP chamber from the DAP manufacturer, specify the CPI
compatible interconnect cable, if available. This is a special cable terminated with a 9 pin male D
connector that is designed to plug directly into the DAP interface board in the generator. If this cable is
not available from the DAP device manufacturer, consult CPI product support for the required cable to
connect the DAP chamber to the generator. Refer to the table below for the CPI cable assembly part
numbers.

3F.2.2 DAP Installation

1.
Switch OFF the AC line voltage to the generator at the main disconnect switch. Allow sufficient
time for all capacitors in the generator to discharge.
2.
Install the DAP chamber as per the manufacturers instructions. The interconnect cable to the
generator must be as per 3F.2.1.
3.
Route the DAP interconnect cable(s) through the access covers in the upper part of the generator
cabinet, then route the cables toward the DAP interface board.
4.
Plug the cable from DAP device 1 (for tube 1) into J2, and the cable from DAP device 2 (for tube
2) into J3 of the DAP interface board. Tighten the screw locks on the connectors to secure the
cables.

3F.4.0 DAP SETUP

The DAP setup functionality is similar for the Indico 100 R&F, Indico 100 rad, and Indico 100 SP generators with the membrane consoles,
but the layout of the DAP setup menus varies to some extent between these models. As a result, the Indico 100 R&F, Indico 100 rad, and
Indico 100 SP generators each have their own setup procedures within this section. Use the appropriate procedure for your model of
generator.
The DAP printer function referenced in this chapter is optional.

3F.5.0 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.
3F.5.1 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.
3F.5.2 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.
2
The dose-area product is calculated by multiplying the measured dose, in mGy, by the exposed area of the film, in cm . This gives
2
the actual dose-area product, in mGycm .
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 (membrane console) or Calibration Value (GenWare) parameters in the DAP
SETUP menu (membrane console) or DAP Setup window (GenWare), such that the DAP display corresponds to the calculated dosearea product. This procedure may need to be repeated several times until the required accuracy is obtained.
The reason the DAP device 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.

3F.5.3 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 3F-3. 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.
Temporarily set the DAP MODE to IND. Refer to sections 3F.4.1, 3F.4.2, or 3F.4.3.
4.
Reset the DAP display to zero as described in sections 3F.4.1, 3F.4.2, or 3F.4.3.
5.
For the membrane console, enter DAP SETUP menu 1 or menu 2 as required to display CAL. VALUE 1 for DAP device 1, or
CAL. VALUE 2 for DAP device 2.
For GenWare, DAP calibration is done via the Calibration Value dialog boxes in the DAP Setup window as described in a
later step.
6.
Select the desired DAP device to calibrate by selecting tube 1 or tube 2 via an appropriate image receptor. Start with the overtable tube.
7.
Set the generator to 70 kV, 100 mA, 20 ms.
8.
Make an X-ray exposure and note the dose per the dosimeter. Record the mR or mGy value in a copy of table 3F-1. Convert
the mR value to mGy, if necessary.
9.
Note the DAP value as displayed on the console or GenWare, and record the value in a copy of table 3F-1.
10.
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.
11.
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 3F-4.
Do not readjust the collimator from the setting that was used in step 8.
12.
Make another exposure using the same settings as in step 6.
13.
Develop the film (if used).

3F.5.3 DAP Calibration Procedure (Cont)

Step
Action
14.
Measure the irradiated image area. For film, measure the length and width of the exposed area, and record the results in table
3F-1. Refer to figure 3F-4.
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 3F-1.
15.
Calculate the irradiated image area, in cm2. Use the length and width recorded in table 3F-1.
16.
Calculate the dose-area product by multiplying the area from table 3F-1 X the dose in mGy from table 3F-1. Record the
resulting value at step 3 in table 3F-1.
17.
Calculate the percentage error between the manually calculated DAP measurement (table 3F-1, step 3) and the measured
DAP value (table 3F-1, step 4). Record the percentage error in step 5 of the table.
18.
If the displayed DAP reading does not meet the required accuracy, increase or decrease CAL. VALUE 1 or CAL. VALUE 2
(membrane console) or Calibration Value (DAP Device 1) / Calibration Value (DAP Device 2) for GenWare by the same
percentage as the percentage error.
19.
Repeat steps 7 to 18 until the required accuracy is obtained. Make as many copies of table 3F-1 as required to record the
results from all required iterations.
20.
Repeat the above procedure for the second DAP device (tube 2).
21.
Reset the DAP MODE as desired. This was temporarily set to IND in step 3.

INTRODUCTION
This section details acceptance testing, which verifies that the generator is performing within its limits.
This must be done at initial installation of the generator, and as required by local regulations. The
applicable sections of this chapter should be performed when the generator is reconfigured, or critical
component(s) are replaced. Examples of such components are the X-ray tube, HT tank, generator CPU
board, generator interface board, AEC board, DAP interface board, power supply control board, filament
board(s) and the operators console or the console board.
WARNING: 1. USE EXTREME CARE IN MEASURING HIGH VOLTAGES. ACCIDENTAL CONTACT MAY
CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH.
2. EVEN WITH THE GENERATOR SWITCHED OFF AT THE CONSOLE, (OR THE LOCKOUT
SWITCH INSIDE THE MAIN CABINET LOCKED OUT), MAINS VOLTAGE IS STILL PRESENT
INSIDE THE GENERATOR CABINET. THIS VOLTAGE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. USE
EXTREME CAUTION.
3. THE DC BUS CAPACITORS PRESENT A HAZARD UP TO 5 MINUTES AFTER THE POWER
HAS BEEN SWITCHED OFF. VERIFY THAT THESE CAPACITORS ARE DISCHARGED
BEFORE SERVICING OR TOUCHING ANY PARTS.
WARNING: THE PROCEDURES IN THIS CHAPTER REQUIRE THE PRODUCTION OF X-RAYS. TAKE ALL
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT PERSONNEL FROM X-RADIATION.
WARNING: 1. ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE EQUIPMENT UNDER TEST AND ALL ASSOCIATED TEST
EQUIPMENT IS PROPERLY GROUNDED.
2. ENSURE THAT THE HIGH VOLTAGE CABLES ARE INTACT / UNDAMAGED AND
PROPERLY CONNECTED BEFORE ATTEMPTING EXPOSURES.
ENSURE THAT THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE COMPLETED PRIOR TO PERFORMING THE
ACCEPTANCE TESTING:
The generator is interfaced to room equipment noted in the product configuration / compatibility
statement.
The tube auto calibration has been done as per chapter 2 of this manual.
The receptors have been programmed as per chapter 3C of this manual.
If the installation has AEC, verify that all receptors have been calibrated as per chapter 3D of this
manual.
If the installation has ABS, verify that the imaging system has been calibrated as per chapter 3E of
this manual.
If the installation has DAP, verify that the DAP chambers have been calibrated as per chapter 3F of
this manual.
Acceptance testing shall only be started after the installation is complete i.e.; generator in final
position and installed as per the previous chapters of this manual.

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. Indico 100 X-ray generators have a circuit that checks that the AEC ramp is at least 4% 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 4% 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 4% / 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 4% 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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

CAL_MIN MA ERR.
MESSAGE
Calibration error minimum mA not

PROBLEM
ACTION
Minimum generator mA was

exceeded at start of calibration.
This is usually caused by too
high a filament standby current
on the primary and or secondary
filament. (primary is the filament
presently being calibrated,
secondary is the other filament
and applies only to generators
with two independent filament
supplies).
Reduce filament standby current on

primary and / or secondary filament.
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.

OIL FILL/LEVEL CHECK (HT TANK)

Indico 100 X-ray generators use different styles of HT tanks, depending on model. Refer to figure 6-1. For the
HT tank on the right side of figure 6-1, field maintenance is neither necessary nor possible. The oil is factoryfilled to the correct level and the HT tank 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 HT tank on the right side of figure 6-1, ensure that the vent tube (VENT in figure 6-1)
is not blocked.
Note:
HV connectors are not shown in figure 6-1.
Figure 6-1: HT tank oil fill

* Do not adjust SW1 / SW2 on the HT tank (not fitted on all models)
For the HT tank on the left side of figure 6-1, the oil level in the HT tank 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 HT tank 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.

OIL FILL/LEVEL CHECK (HT TANK) (Cont)

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 HT tanks lid.
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.
Figure 6-2: HT tank oil level

4.
5.
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 HT tank, 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.
Replace the oil fill plug. Once the plug is installed and the screw is properly seated, continue to tighten
the screw until the neoprene plug is firmly secured. Do not over tighten; the screw should mildly
compress the neoprene plug when tight. Wipe up any oil spills. Dispose of soiled absorber in
compliance with government requirements and ensure conformity to local disposal regulations. THE
OIL DOES NOT CONTAIN PCBs.

NOTE:
CLEANING
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.

1.
Remove the battery from the holder by gently prying under the battery at the access slot in the battery
holder using a small screwdriver. Slide the battery over the edge of the holder and remove it when it is
free.
2.
Check the voltage of the new battery prior to inserting it. This should be nominally 3.0V, do not use if it
is under 2.80 V.
3.
Wipe the replacement battery with a clean cloth, and ensure that the holder is clean and free of debris
before inserting the battery.
4.
Gently lift the spring contact on the holder and insert the replacement battery positive (+) side up
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 also 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:
6.9.1
Tube Conditioning (Overview)

The generator does X-ray tube auto calibration at 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:

Tube Conditioning (Overview) (Cont)

LOW SPEED ONLY EXPOSURES ARE RECOMMENDED FOR THE SEASONING EXPOSURES,
TO PREVENT EXCESSIVE HEAT BUILD-UP IN THE HOUSING FROM THE STATOR WINDINGS
OR THE ROTOR BEARINGS.
NOTE:
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.
6.9.2
Tube Conditioning (Procedure)

X-ray tube seasoning should be done on LARGE focus in order to minimize tube wear.
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, simply follow steps 2, 4, 6, 8, and 9.
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.
4.
5.
Restart the auto calibration sequence and manually terminate the exposure at 120 kV and 160 mA.
6.
7.
Restart the auto calibration sequence and allow the auto calibration sequence to complete.
8.
9.
Repeat step 8 at 140 kV, and then at 145 kV.

INTRODUCTION
This chapter contains the theory of operation for the Indico 100 series of X-ray generators. The theory of
operation is organized by functional blocks as depicted in 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 shown on the last page of each
functional drawing.
7.2.1
Interconnect Diagram (MD-0843)

This drawing shows the cabling between the major subassemblies in the Indico 100 X-ray generator.
Where applicable, this document references the appropriate functional schematics and sections of the
service manual for details on the area of interest.
7.2.2
System ON (MD-0762)
The left side of this drawing shows the wiring from the ON and OFF switches on the console keyboard
assemblies to J4-10, J4-11 and J4-12 on the generator interface board for the various Indico 100
consoles (J16-3, J16-6, J16-7 for the Rad-only console).
The generator interface board on the Indico 100 X-ray generator includes power ON and OFF switches
S2 and S1 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 main generator power ON and OFF switches that are
located on the console.
Pressing either of the power ON switches described above turns on Q2 on the generator interface board.
This turns on Q3, holding the collector of Q3 low. This latches Q2 on by holding the base of Q2 low when
the ON button is released.
The collector of Q3 is connected to K2 and K3 via D16. These relays will energize if S3 is in the NORMAL
position when the generator is switched on. If S3 is in the LOCKOUT position, the generator cannot be
inadvertently switched on.
When K2 and K3 are energized, the DC rails (+5 V, +12 V, +15 V, +24 V, -12 V, -15 V, and -24 V) on the
generator interface board are established, and +24 V is supplied to the console via K3 (see MD-0788,
sheet 4).
The generator CPU will issue a P/S ON (power supply ON) command after the +5 V rail is detected as
described in 7.2.3.
JW1 on the generator interface board may be jumpered such that K1 is energized only when the
generator is switched on, or such that K1 is energized at all times that the AC mains to the generator is
on. K1 switches the 110 and 220 VAC supplies for the room interface board, as shown on sheet 4 of MD0788.
Pressing either of the OFF switches turns on Q1 on the generator interface board. This turns off Q2,
turning off Q3. This will de-energize K2, K3, and / or K1 on the generator interface board, removing the
DC rails from the generator interface board and removing the +24 V supply from the console. Deenergizing K1 (if applicable) will disconnect the 110 / 220 VAC supplies to the room interface board.
In normal operation, J17-1 and J17-2 are joined via a wire jumper. An emergency-off switch may be
connected to the generator by removing the jumper between J17-1 and J17-2, and then wiring the
emergency-off switch to J17-1 and J17-2.

7.2.3
Theory of Operation
DC bus & power distribution (MD-0788)

Refer to MD-0788, sheet 1:
Sheet 1 of MD-0788 applies to three phase units. Portions of sheet 1 are common to single phase and
three phase units. Sheet 2 details the circuits that are different between single and three phase
generators.
Assuming that the AC mains is connected and switched on, line voltage is applied to the primary of room
interface transformer T2 via F1 and F2. This will establish the 24 VDC supply via F5 and D3 on the
generator interface board, as shown on sheet 4.
Several seconds after the generator has been switched on as per 7.2.2, the generator CPU will issue a
P/S ON (power supply ON) command, resulting in 24 VDC being applied to J5-3 and J5-4 on the auxiliary
board as described under MD-0788, sheet 3. This will energize K2 and U3 on the power input board via
relay K1 on the auxiliary board (K1 is shown in the normal, i.e. no soft-start fault position). With U3
energized, Q2 will be turned on and relay K1 will be energized. DS6 on the power input board indicates
that K2 is energized, and DS7 indicates that K1 is energized.
With K2 on the power input board energized, line voltage is applied to power supply auxiliary transformer
T1. The primary of T1, an autotransformer, supplies 120 VAC for the fans and for the tube 1 / tube 2
solenoid in the HT tank, 120 or 240 VAC for rotor boost, and 52 / 73 / 94 VAC for rotor-run as described
later in this section. The secondary of T1 supplies low voltage AC to the auxiliary board as per sheet 3.
When K1 on the power input board is energized, line voltage is applied to the input of D1 via the soft-start
current limit resistors, thus pre-charging the DC bus capacitors. Normal charging of the DC bus is sensed
by U1 via R5 to R8, D3, R18 / R19 and R16 / R17.
The emitter of U1 will rise toward +6 V as the DC bus charges. The emitter is connected to the soft-start
protection circuit on the auxiliary board. If the DC bus capacitors charge normally, K1 on the auxiliary
board will remain de-energized, D3 will be lit, and the soft start driver circuit (U3B, Q6, etc) will issue a
contactor-closed signal after approximately 20 seconds. This will light D2 on the auxiliary board, output a
logic low signal to the CPU via J5-7 of the auxiliary board to indicate that the main contactor is closed,
and light DS4 and close the main power contactor K5 on the power input board. The line voltage will then
be directly rectified by D1 to produce approximately 560 VDC for 400 V units, or approximately 670 VDC
for 480 V units. This DC bus voltage is switched by the inverter board(s) to produce the drive for the
primary of the HT transformers as described in 7.2.6.
If U1 on the power input board does not indicate normal bus charging, the soft start protection circuit will
energize K1 on the auxiliary board. This will de-energize K1 on the power input board, but leave K2
energized via R1 / R2. De-energizing K1 on the power input board opens the soft-start charging path.
With K1 on the auxiliary board energized, Q6 on the auxiliary board cannot turn on. This keeps K5 on the
power input board de-energized, and holds J5-7 of the auxiliary board high to indicate to the generator
CPU that the main contactor is open.
For R&F generators, a logic circuit (U11, Q9, etc) on the auxiliary board controls the cooling fans in the
generator. During fluoroscopic operation, and for approximately 20 minutes after switching from fluoro to
Rad operation, the output of the fluoro fan timer / driver circuit will be low, lighting D37 on the auxiliary
board, and lighting DS5 and energizing K4 on the power input board. This will supply 120 VAC to the
cooling fans from T1 via F4 and K4 on the power input board. The cooling fans are also energized during
radiographic exposures, if required (fans are not fitted on all radiographic models).
When tube 2 is selected (two tube units only), J1-6 on the auxiliary board is pulled low via the control
board. This will close K3 on the power input board, supplying 120 VAC to energize the tube 1 / tube 2
solenoid in the HT tank. The tube 1 / tube 2 select signal is also taken to J2-9 on the low speed starter
board as described in 7.2.8.

DC bus & power distribution (Cont)

When the generator is switched off, the loss of the DC rails on the generator interface board (which
supplies the generator CPU board) will remove the drive for K1 and K2 on the power input board, causing
these relays to open. Line voltage will then be removed from the power supply auxiliary transformer T1,
causing loss of the DC rails on the auxiliary board. When the 12 V rail has collapsed, U2 on the power
input board will turn off. This allows the DC bus discharge circuit to be biased on by R20, rapidly
discharging the DC bus capacitors through R16 / R17 and R18 / R19. If a fault occurs where the
discharge circuit is active during start-up or normal operation of the generator, F7 will open, isolating the
discharge circuit from the DC bus capacitors. With F7 open, voltage is applied to the LS1 buzzer through
the buzzer annunciator circuit as an audible warning of a fault. Note that the DC bus capacitors will not
rapid-discharge if F7 is open.
Depending on the tap settings on T1, the low speed starter boost voltage will be 120 or 240 VAC, and the
run-voltage will be 52, 73, or 94 VAC. Refer to chapter 2 of the service manual for the procedure for
setting these taps.

Sheet 2 of MD-0788 applies to single-phase units. The circuits that are common to single phase and
three phase units are described on sheet 1.
Assuming that the AC mains is connected and switched on, line voltage is applied to the primary of room
interface transformer T2 via F1 and F2. This will establish the 24 VDC supply via F5 and D3 on the
generator interface board, as shown on sheet 4.
Several seconds after the generator has been switched on as per 7.2.2, the generator CPU will issue a
P/S ON (power supply ON) command, resulting in 24 VDC being applied to J5-3 and J5-4 on the auxiliary
board as described under MD-0788, sheet 3. This will energize K2 and U2 on the power input board via
relay K1 on the auxiliary board (K1 is shown in the normal, i.e. no soft-start fault position). With U2
energized, Q1 will be turned on and relay K1 will be energized. DS6 on the power input board indicates
that K2 is energized, and DS7 indicates that K1 is energized.
With K2 on the power input board energized, line voltage is applied to power supply auxiliary transformer
T1. The primary of T1, an autotransformer, supplies 120 VAC for the fans and for the tube 1 / tube 2
solenoid in the HT tank, 120 or 240 VAC for rotor boost, and 52 / 73 / 94 VAC for rotor-run as described
later in this section. The secondary of T1 supplies low voltage AC to the auxiliary board as per sheet 3.
When K1 on the power input board is energized, line voltage is applied to the voltage doubler circuit via
the soft-start current limit resistors, thus pre-charging the DC bus capacitors. Normal charging of the DC
bus is sensed by U1 via R5 to R8, R16 to R21, D3, etc. DS1 will light to indicate that U1 is energized
(indicating that the DC bus is charged).
The emitter of U1 will rise toward +6 V as the DC bus charges. The emitter is connected to the soft-start
protection circuit on the auxiliary board, and is described on sheet 1. If the DC bus capacitors charge
normally, DS4 on the power input board will light and the main contactor K5 on the power input board will
close, applying the line voltage directly to the voltage doubler circuit where it is rectified and doubled to
produce approximately 650 VDC. This DC bus voltage is switched by the inverter board(s) to produce the
drive for the primary of the HT transformers as described in 7.2.6.
If U1 on the power input board does not indicate normal bus charging, the soft start protection circuit will
energize K1 on the auxiliary board, and K5 will remain de-energized as described under sheet 1.
The operation of the cooling fans via K4 on the power input board and the operation of the tube 1 / tube 2
solenoid via K3 is described on the previous page.
The power down sequence is similar to that described on the previous page, except that single phase
units do not have a rapid discharge circuit. The DC bus capacitors will discharge through bleeder
resistors connected across the bus capacitors, with a time constant 5 minutes.

7.2.3
Theory of Operation

Depending on the tap settings on T1, the low speed starter boost voltage will be 120 or 240 VAC, and the
run-voltage will be 52, 73, or 94 VAC. Refer to chapter 2 of the service manual for the procedure for
setting these taps.

Line voltage is connected to the primary of power supply auxiliary transformer T1 when the generator is
switched ON, i.e. when K2 on the power input board is energized. The DC rails on the auxiliary board will
then be established (+/- 35 V via F3, F4 and D32, and +/- 12 V via F1, F2, D33, U5 and U6 which are
connected in parallel, and U4).
The required DC rails are then distributed to the filament supply board(s) and to the control and dual
speed starter boards as shown on sheet 3. Regulators on the control board and dual speed starter board
supply +5 V for those boards as shown.
When the main contactor K5 on the power input board closes, J5-7 of the auxiliary board is taken low.
This logic low signal is taken to the control board, where it enables the prep signal to the dual speed
starter board as described in 7.2.9, and also turns on Q16 on the control board, turning on opto-coupler
U9 on the generator CPU board. The output of U9, which indicates the contactor-closed status, is
monitored by the CPU via U24. U9 also drives contactor-closed status LEDs DS9 / DS10, where DS9
lights to indicate that the contactor is closed.
When the +5 V rail on the generator interface board is established, the generator CPU will start to
function. The CPU will perform its start-up diagnostics, and then output data (bit 0) via U27, U19, and
U16 to energize opto coupler U17 on the generator CPU board. This will turn on Q4, applying 15 V to
J5-3 and J5-4 on the auxiliary board via current limit resistors R27 / R32 and the control board, resulting
in approximately 24 VDC to close K1 and K2 on the power input board, as described earlier. DS34 /
DS35 indicate the P/S ON status, where DS34 lights to indicate that the power supply is on.
The tube 1 / tube 2 select signal (bit 2) is generated by the CPU, then latched and buffered by U27 and
U19 on the generator CPU board. The tube 1 / tube 2 select signal is then applied to U16 and to the tube
1 / tube 2 tellback logic circuit as per 7.2.11. The output of U16 drives U7 on the control board, which inturn drives Q1. Q1 turns on when tube 2 is selected, pulling J1-6 on the auxiliary board low. This
energizes K3 on the power input board as described earlier. The tube 1 / tube 2 select signal is also fed
to the dual speed starter as described in 7.2.9.
For continuous fluoro mode, the CPU sends data (bit 7) to data latch U27 on the generator CPU board.
This is then applied to driver U16, and to DS22 / DS23 which indicate continuous fluoro (FLUORO) or
Rad / pulsed fluoro (FLUORO bar) operation. The output of U16 drives opto coupler U40 on the control
board, which pulls J1-5 on the auxiliary board high for Rad / pulsed fluoro operation and low for
continuous fluoro operation. This high / low signal is applied to the fluoro fan timer / driver circuit (sheet
1), and to the Rad / fluoro and power mode select circuits as described in 7.2.10.
When pulsed fluoro or low power Rad operation is selected, the CPU sends data (bit 3) to data latch U49.
The data latch drives Q1 and DS2 / DS4 on the generator CPU board. DS2 lights to indicate low power /
pulsed fluoro operation, while DS4 indicates high power Rad operation. Q1 on the generator CPU board
drives opto coupler U41 on the control board, which pulls J1-3 on the auxiliary board high for PF / low
power operation, and low for high power Rad mode. This signal is then applied to the fluoro fan timer /
driver circuit (sheet 1), and to the Rad / fluoro and power mode select circuits as described in 7.2.10.
U3C and U3D on the auxiliary board monitor the + and -12 V supplies on that board. The outputs of U3C
and U3D will switch low if either of these supplies drops below predefined limits, lighting D1 and sending
a fault signal to the control board and to the driver for K1 on the low speed starter board.
A soft-start fault signal is generated if the DC bus capacitors do not charge normally (SOFT START
FAULT SIGNAL from the soft start driver circuit on page 1). This signal is fed to U3A on the auxiliary
board, whose output will switch low if a soft-start fault exists. This is ORed together with the outputs of
U3C and U3D, and has the same effect as described above for a +/-12 V fault.

Line voltage is connected to the primary of room interface transformer T2 whenever the AC mains is
connected and switched on. With the generator switched on, K2 on the generator interface board will
close, establishing the DC rails on the generator interface board via F3 / F4 and D1 (+/- 24 V, + 15 V via
U5, +5 V via F6 and the +5 V / +16 V power supply circuit, + 12 V via U3, -12 V via U2, and -15 V via U4).
The required DC rails are then distributed to the digital I/O board, to the AEC board, to the room interface
board, and to the generator CPU board, where DS33 and DS36-DS39 indicate the presence of the
associated DC rails.
The 24 VDC supply that is derived from D3 / C10 is used by the on / off circuit on the generator interface
board (MD-0762), and is also fed to the console when the on / off circuit closes K3. Power supplies and /
or voltage regulators on the console produce the required DC rails for the console circuits. Additionally,
the console includes a 300 VAC power supply that drives the cold-cathode fluorescent lamp that
backlights the LCD display.
110 and 220 VAC is supplied to the room interface board. The 110 / 220 VAC supplies are only present
when K1 on the generator interface board is closed. K1 may be configured to be closed at all times that
AC mains is supplied to the generator, or K1 may be configured to close only when the generator is
switched on. Refer to 7.2.2, SYSTEM ON, for details.
24 VDC is available at J17-3 and J17-4 to drive the coil of a power distribution relay in installations with
installer supplied power distribution circuits. The maximum current available from this source is 100
mA.

Sheet 5 shows the power distribution (DC rails) to the remote fluoro control, and to the Indico 100
consoles other than those shown on page 4.
7.2.4
Room interface (MD-0763)

Sheet 1 shows the room interface inputs. These are shown on the left side of the drawing. Nine of the
inputs energize opto couplers via 4-pin jumpers; the remaining inputs energize the associated opto
coupler directly. The inputs that have a connector (JW7, JW10, JW15, etc) in series with the opto
coupler(s) may be configured such that shorting the input turns on the opto coupler, or may be configured
such that applying 24 VDC across the input energizes the opto coupler. The remaining inputs are only
active when the inputs are shorted.
For inputs with a 4-pin jumper in series with the opto coupler, the jumper must be across pins 2 and 3 of
the connector if the input is a 24 VDC source. If using this configuration, observe the polarity of the 24
VDC source to ensure that the opto coupler is correctly driven. Jumper across pins 1 and 2 and pins 3
and 4 of the connector if it is desired to activate the opto coupler by shorting across that input.
For the REMOTE FLUORO EXPOSURE input and the REMOTE EXPOSURE input, two or three opto
couplers are connected in series. MD-0763 shows the opto coupler relevant to the room interface
function. The second and / or third opto coupler is shown on MD-0761 and described in 7.2.5.
One set of thermal switch inputs is available on the room interface board as shown. A second set of
thermal switch inputs is available on the stator terminal block. The thermal switch inputs on the stator
terminal block are routed to T1 and T2 (at R33 and R34 respectively) on the generator interface board.
The generator CPU monitors the output of each opto coupler via logic circuits on the generator interface
board.

Theory of Operation
Room interface (Cont)

Sheet 2 shows the room interface outputs. These are shown on the right side of the drawing. Five of the
outputs may be configured to supply +24 VDC, 110 VAC, or 220 VAC or to provide a dry contact closure
when the output is active. Three of the outputs may be configured to supply +24 VDC or to provide a dry
contact closure when the output is active, and the remaining three outputs are permanently configured to
provide a dry contact closure when the output is active.
When any of the outputs on the room interface board are to be made active, the generator CPU will send
data to address decoders, latches, and driver circuits on the generator interface board. These circuits
decode the data, and drive relays K1 to K13 on the room interface board. The contacts of each of these
relays drive the room interface outputs.
JW1 to JW5 may be configured such that the corresponding output is a dry relay contact by placing the
jumper in the DRY position. Placing the jumper in the LIVE position will cause +24 VDC, 110 VAC, or 220
VAC to be output, depending on the voltage source selected at TB11. To select the desired voltage
source, a wire jumper must be connected from TB11 pins 1-5 to TB10 to select 220 VAC, to TB9 to select
110 VAC, or to TB8 to select 24 VDC. For example, if it is intended that the TOMO / BUCKY 4 SELECT
output should provide 110 VAC when that output is active, JW1 must be jumpered in the LIVE position
and a wire jumper must be connected from TB11-4 to one of the available positions on TB9.
With JW1 to JW5 in the LIVE position, relays K1 - K4 and K6 switch the return side of the circuit. If
multiple switched voltage outputs are required, jumper the desired voltage to TB11, select the DRY
position on JW1 to JW5, connect the switched output to the relay output (example TB1-1 for JW1), and
connect the common return directly to TB7.
Relays K1 to K4 and K6 have R-C snubbers connected across the contacts to quench contact arcing
when the relay opens while driving inductive loads. If the output is configured to supply 110 or 220 VAC,
and the load is an opto coupler or other low-current device, sufficient AC current may flow through the
snubber to energize the load when the relay is open. If this is the case, the jumper that is in series with
the snubber may need to be removed. Further details on this may be found in chapter 3B.
JW6 to JW8 may be configured such that the corresponding output is a dry relay contact by placing the
jumper in the DRY position. Placing the jumper in the LIVE 24 VDC position will cause +24 VDC to be
output.
The remaining outputs (collimator bypass, room light, and mag 1 to mag 3) are permanently configured to
provide dry contact closures when the output is active.

X-ray exposure Rad / fluoro (MD-0761)

The keyboard assembly and console board shown on sheet 1 is used on the 31 X 42 cm console. The
console portion of these circuits for the other Indico 100 console types is shown on sheet 3 and 4.
Pressing PREP pulls J4-7 on the generator interface board low via U2 on the console board. This turns
on U15 on the generator interface board. The generator CPU monitors the output of U15 via U18 and
U25, with a valid prep command being recognized when the output of U15 is low.
Pressing X-ray will pull J4-8 on the generator interface board low via U4 on the console board. This will
turn on U37 and U38 on the generator interface board. The generator CPU monitors the output of U37 via
U18 and U25. The software will recognize a logic low at the output of U37 as a hardware X-ray request
(X-ray switch pressed), and consequently will pull the emitter of U38 low via U25, U12, and U7. With the
emitter of U38 held low and U38 energized, the collector of U38 will be held low. This energizes U22 on
the generator interface board, turning on U46 on the generator CPU board. The generator CPU monitors
the output of U46, recognizing a valid X-ray request when the output of U46 is low. DS42 on the
generator CPU board will light to indicate that an X-ray request is being made.
An input via the REMOTE TOMO SELECT input will energize U8 and U10 on the generator interface
board (refer also to 7.2.4). The generator CPU monitors the output of U10 via U18 and U25, and
recognizes a logic low at the output of U10 as a remote tomo X-ray request. When a remote tomo
exposure request is received, the CPU will pull the emitter of U8 low via U25, U12, and U7. With the
emitter of U8 held low and U8 energized, the collector of U8 will be held low. This turns on U22 and U46
as described above, indicating to the CPU that a valid remote tomo request is being made.
A remote X-ray exposure request via the REMOTE EXPOSURE input will energize U41and U43 on the
generator interface board (refer also to 7.2.4). The generator CPU monitors the output of U41 via U18
and U25, and recognizes a logic low at the output of U41 as a remote exposure request. When a remote
exposure request is received, the CPU will pull the emitter of U43 low via U25, U12, and U7. With the
emitter of U43 held low and U43 energized, the collector of U43 will be held low. This turns on U22 and
U46 as described above, indicating to the CPU that a valid X-ray request is being made.
Pressing the fluoro foot switch (if connected to the console) will pull J4-6 on the generator interface board
low via U3 on the console board. This will turn on U30, U42, and U44 on the generator interface board.
These same opto couplers will be energized if the fluoro foot switch is connected to the room interface
board (refer to 7.2.4), and the fluoro foot switch is pressed. The generator CPU monitors the output of
U30 via U18 and U25. The software will recognize a logic low at the output of U30 as a fluoroscopic X-ray
request, and consequently will pull the emitter of U42 low via U25, U12, and U7. With the emitter of U42
held low and U42 energized, the collector of U42 will be held low. This turns on U22 and U46 as
described above, indicating to the CPU that a valid X-ray request is being made.
The generator interface board contains a last image hold circuit consisting of U44, U32, U39, C30, etc.
The last image hold circuit will keep U32 energized for approximately 100 milliseconds after the fluoro
foot switch has been released. The emitter of U32 will be held low by the generator CPU for the time of
the last image hold setting (up to 99 ms) in the receptor setup menu (chapter 3C). This will hold the
collector of U32 low, keeping U22 and U46 energized as previously described, and allowing the frame
store device to complete the last image.
The console CPU (U18) monitors the output of U3, U2, and U4 on the console board, recognizing a
console fluoroscopic X-ray request when the output of U3 is low, a prep request when the output of U2 is
low, and a console X-ray request when the output of U4 is low.

X-ray exposure Rad / fluoro (Cont)

When a prep request has been made as described on page 1, the CPU will write data to the kV enable
and prep latches within U27 on the generator CPU board. The kV enable and prep commands light DS30
and DS27 on the generator CPU board when active, and drive U4 and U2 respectively on the control
board via U19 and U16 on the generator CPU board.
The emitter of U4 on the control board is held low when the HT tank is properly connected. If the output of
U4 is high (HT tank not connected, or kV enable command not present), the ENABLE line (TP10) will be
held low by the comparator circuit consisting of U11A, RN8, etc. This will hold the output of the PREP
ENABLED and X-RAY REQUEST comparator circuits low via D21 and D24, inhibiting the prep and Xray functions. If the kV ENABLE command is present, the output of U4 will be low, and the kV enable line
(TP10) will be high. This will reverse bias D21 and D24, allowing the PREP and X-RAY lines to be pulled
high when requested. The RESET command resets kV and mA faults that are latched by circuits on the
control board. Pressing the MENU / RESET button on the console toggles the kV enabled circuit,
resetting the fault latches.
The output of U2 on the control board will be low when PREP is active, causing the prep line (TP18) to be
pulled high by the comparator circuit consisting of U11B, U10C, etc. The prep command is taken to the
GENERATOR READY detector circuit and the logic OR / NOR circuits via D25. If the prep command
is present, and no faults exist, the base of Q12 will be pulled low, turning on Q12, thus indicating a
generator-ready condition. The prep command also initiates the boost cycle on the low speed or dual
speed starter (refer to 7.2.8 and 7.2.9).
When the generator CPU has received a valid X-ray request, the CPU will send an X-ray command to
data latch U27 on the generator CPU board. This will light DS26 on the generator CPU board, and will
pull the anodes of U5 and U3 on the control board high. The cathodes of U5 and U3 are held low by the
EXPOSURE ENABLE command from U22 (the line connected to the cathode of U46 on the generator
CPU board, page 1) during an X-ray request. Therefore, opto couplers U5 and U3 will only be energized
if both the hardware and software X-ray commands are present. Because these opto couplers and the
comparator circuits (U11D, RN7, U10D, etc) are connected in parallel, both opto couplers must be turned
on for TP12 to be pulled high. The X-ray request line is taken to the OR / NOR circuits consisting of Q4,
Q13, D91, etc. If the prep request is present, and no faults exist at the time of the X-ray request, the line
at TP14 will be pulled high. This enables the output of the VCO as described in 7.2.6.
The GENERATOR READY detector and the logic OR / NOR circuits are shown as a functional block
with six inputs as shown (PREP input, X-RAY input, and four fault inputs), and three outputs
(GENERATOR READY, DRIVE ENABLE, and HV / MA FAULT). The generator-ready and drive enable
signals are inhibited if any of the fault inputs are active (+/- 12V/SS FAULT, FILAMENT FAULT,
STATOR FAULT, HIGH KV / INVERTER FAULT, or HIGH MA FAULT). This will disable the inverter
drive, preventing any kV output.

Opto coupler U6 on the generator CPU board will be turned on when the power supply ready signal that
originates on page 2 is present. The generator CPU monitors the output of U6 via U24, and DS17 on the
generator CPU board will light to indicate the generator-ready status.
For the Rad-only console, pressing PREP and X-RAY energizes U16 and U17 respectively. The inputs to
the generator interface board at J16-4 and J16-5 are pulled low via the LED portion of U16 / U17 and the
closed prep or X-ray exposure switch. Remove JW1 and JW2 on the console CPU board to disable the
keyboard assembly. This will prevent exposures from being created via the control console. In this
instance an external hand switch is required to create exposures.
For the 23 X 56 cm console, the operation is similar to that for the 31 X 42 cm console as described on
sheet 1, except that the component reference designations are different.

X-ray exposure Rad / fluoro (Cont)

Sheet 4 shows the console prep and X-ray exposure circuits for the touch screen console. Pressing prep
or X-ray on the console directly pulls J4-7 and J4-8 on the generator interface board low, initiating the
appropriate action in the generator as described earlier.
7.2.6
kV control and feedback (MD-0759)

When the CPU is satisfied that all requirements have been met to allow an X-ray exposure as described
in 7.2.5, the kV reference voltage will be produced by D/A converter U22 on the generator CPU board.
This is buffered by U14A, inverted by U13A on the control board, and then summed with the positive
going kV feedback signal from U16B at the input of error amplifier U13B. Error amplifier U13B 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 HT primary current is sampled by T1, and rectified by D27 to D30 to produce a current limit signal (a
negative voltage proportional to the primary current). This is applied to the input of U21A, where it will
limit the kV demand if the primary current exceeds normal limits. This current limit signal is also fed to
comparator U15, which generates a fault pulse if excessive primary current is sensed. The fault pulse is
detected by latch U32D and inverted by U33D. A primary (resonant) over current fault will light D70 and
pull the input of U33E low via D66. This will force the output of U33E high. The output of U33E is one of
the inputs to the GENERATOR READY detector and logic OR / NOR circuits described in 7.2.5. The
presence of a fault will immediately remove the generator-ready and drive enable signals, inhibiting the
inverter gate drive, thus preventing inverter damage due to the over-current condition.
The output of U21A will swing increasingly negative for increased kV demand. This kV demand voltage is
buffered and inverted by U21B, 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 T2
synchronizes the start of the pulses.
The output pulses from the VCO are applied to AND gates U24A and U24B. The drive enable signal from
MD-0761 is applied to the control inputs of U24, holding these inputs high if all logic conditions to allow an
X-ray exposure are satisfied. The pulses are inverted and level shifted by U26A and U26B, and then
applied to the gate-drive circuit as described on page 2.
The differential kV feedback voltage from the HT tank is brought to J9 on the generator control board.
This is applied to the inputs of U12A and U12B, where the kV feedback scaling is precisely set by R215.
The differential feedback signals are then summed by U16B. The output of U16B supplies a kV feedback
signal to error amplifier U13B as described earlier. The kV feedback signal is also fed to the CPU via
U16A on the control board, and U15A, U15B, and A/D converter U37 on the generator CPU board where
it is used to monitor the output voltage during an exposure. The kV feedback signal is also routed to the
high kV detector and latch, which drives D69 and U33E. The output of U33E, when high, will inhibit the
inverter gate drive as described previously.
The outputs of U14A and U15A on the generator CPU board are summed and compared by the HV ON
DETECTOR CIRCUIT, consisting of U30D, Q6, etc. This produces a HV ON signal when the actual kV is
greater than approximately 75% of the demanded kV. The HV ON signal is brought to the digital interface
board, where it is made available to those digital imaging systems that require this signal to synchronize
the exposure.

Theory of Operation
kV control and feedback (Cont)

The generator control board contains circuits that protect against an inverter shoot-through fault. If a
shoot through fault is sensed, current sense transformers on the inverter board(s) will supply a current
pulse that is fed to the control board at J14-1 & J14-3, J15-1 & J15-3, and / or J16-1 & J16-3. An inverter
fault is then detected by comparator circuits on the control board, latched, and inverted (a logic low at the
outputs of the INVERTER 1, INVERTER 2, or INVERTER 3 FAULT LATCH & LOGIC INVERTER circuits
indicates a fault). An inverter fault will light D80, D81, or D82, and will pull the output of the logic OR
circuit (D87-D89, U35C) low. This will take the input of U33E low, forcing the output of U33E high, thus
inhibiting the inverter gate drive as per high primary current and high kV faults described earlier.
The fault latches that drive the input of U33E are reset by the RESET command, which originates on MD0761.

The drive pulses from page 1 are applied to the input of the gate-drive circuit on the control board. The
gate-drive circuit utilizes MOSFETs that form a full bridge inverter circuit. This circuit provides current
gain for the gate pulses. The high frequency gate pulses are then applied to the power MOSFETS on the
inverter board(s) via J10 and / or J11 and / or J12 on the control board.
The inverter board(s) produce the high power drive for the HT transformers (Indico 100 X-ray generators
use one, two, or three inverter boards, depending on output power). The output of the inverter board(s)
drive the primaries of the HT transformers via the resonant capacitor and the fluoro / EMC / sharing
inductors.
During radiographic operation, contactor K1 shorts out the fluoro inductor. This inductor is in-circuit during
fluoroscopy, and optimizes the output tuning during fluoroscopic operation. The drive circuit for K1 is
detailed in 7.2.10.
For 80 and 100 kW units, the drive to inverter board #3 is disabled by relay K2 during low power
operation. Refer to 7.2.10 for details.

The HT tank 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 75 kV, and the cathode section generates the cathode voltage, 0 to -75 kV. The anode and
cathode sections contain voltage dividers that supply kV anode and cathode feedback voltages. The kV
feedback from the HT tank is brought to J9 on the control board as described earlier in this section.
The HT tank is not field-repairable. Defective HT tanks must be exchanged with equivalent units.
7.2.7
Filament drive and mA control (MD-0760)

When the CPU receives a prep request, D/A converter U18 or U22 on the generator CPU board will
output the filament reference voltage (1 volt = 1 amp of filament current). For units with two filament
supplies, U18 outputs the small filament drive and U22 outputs the large filament drive. For units with a
single filament board, U22 supplies the filament drive. The filament drives are buffered by U14D and
U14B, and then routed to the filament supply board via J3 and J10 of the generator CPU board.
The filament reference voltage is applied 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.

Filament drive and mA control (Cont)

The filament reference voltage may be measured at the cathode of D6 on the filament board (at the
output of U1B). Attempting to measure the filament reference at the input to U1B will provide erroneous
results.
The filament reference voltage is then summed with the filament feedback voltage at the input of error
amplifier U4B. When the filament reference is greater than the feedback, the output of U4B rises, causing
the pulse width at the output of U3 to increase.
The filament supply blocks are shown in very limited detail on sheet 1 of MD-0760. Refer to sheet 3 for a
more detailed functional diagram of the filament supply board.
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, J4 / J8 / K1, J5 on the filament supply board, and J4 on the tank lid board.
The output of filament current sense transformer T1 on the filament supply board is rectified by D12, D13,
D27, and D28, and fed to the 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 and at the summing input of error
amplifier U4B as previously described.
The output of U2B is brought to J2-2 or J2-4 on the filament supply board, depending on configuration.
This filament current feedback signal is then fed to the CPU as shown on sheet 2 and 3.
The filament feedback signal from the output of U2B is compared with a 1.7 volt reference by U2A. The
output of U2A will swing low if the filament current drops below approximately 1.7 amps, indicating a
filament fault. This will turn off Q1 on the filament supply board, taking J2-10 on the filament board and
J3-10 on the control board high. The FILAMENT FAULT signal is taken to one of the inputs on the
GENERATOR READY detector and logic OR / NOR circuits described in 7.2.5, where a fault will
inhibit inverter drive by removing the generator-ready and drive enable signals. A filament fault condition
will also turn off Q15 on the control board, turning off opto coupler U7 on the generator CPU board. The
output of U7 drives filament fault status LEDs DS13 /DS14 and the input of U24, which is monitored by
the generator CPU.
The HIGH KV / INVERTER FAULT and the HIGH MA FAULT signals from MD-0759 and MD-0760
respectively are ORed together, and designated as the HV / MA FAULT signal. This is fed to the base of
Q14 on the control board, and will be high for a fault. During a HV / mA fault, Q14 will be turned off,
turning off opto coupler U8 on the generator CPU board. The output of U8 is monitored by the CPU via
U24. U8 also drives DS11 / DS12, with DS12 being lit for a HV / mA fault condition.
For generators with a single filament board, U27 on the generator CPU board outputs the large / small
filament select command. The output of U27 will be low for large focus, lighting DS24. U19 and U16
invert the large / small focus signal and drive U1 on the control board. The output of U1 will be low for
large focus, causing the large / small select line, J3-11 on the control board, to be pulled high by the
comparator circuit consisting of U11C, Q2 etc. This de-energizes K1 on the filament board, selecting
large focus.
The logic high signal at J3-11 drives the base of Q3 on the control board, holding Q3 off when large focus
is selected. Q3 drives opto coupler U10 on the generator CPU board, turning off U10 for large focus. The
output of U10 is monitored by the CPU via U24.

7.2.7
Theory of Operation

The filament drive from page 1 is applied to the secondaries of the filament transformers, which provide
high voltage isolation and drive the X-ray tube filaments via the HV cathode board and the cathode high
voltage connector as shown.
When an exposure is being made, 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 of the control board. Transient protectors on the high voltage boards clamp the
voltage across the series resistors during high voltage arcs.
The ground side of the high voltage boards in the HT tank 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 shorting strap is removed.
The anode mA feedback that appears at J9-1 and J9-2 of the generator control board is scaled
approximately 0.4 volts = 100 mA of anode current, and is applied to the input of differential amplifier
U6B. The output of U6B is taken to the anode over current detector, whose output is applied to the high
anode current latch and inverter circuit. The output of U33C will be low for a high anode current condition.
This will light D72 and pull the input of U33E low via D65, forcing the output of U33E high. The output of
U33E is one of the inputs to the GENERATOR READY detector and logic OR / NOR circuits described
in 7.2.5. An over current condition will immediately remove the generator-ready and drive enable signals,
preventing possible damage due to the over-current condition.
The ANODE OVERVOLTAGE signal from MD-0759 is also fed into the anode over current detector
circuit. Therefore, an anode over voltage condition will disable the inverter gate drive as described above.
The output of U6B is also applied to the input of U9 and U30B. U30B provides a scaled mA feedback
voltage, calibrated by R216, such that 1 volt = 100 mA at the output of U30B. The output of U30B is fed to
the generator CPU board as shown on sheet 3.
U9 is a high gain amplifier, and provides a scaled mA feedback voltage 1 volt = 2.5 mA. R212 calibrates
the mA feedback, and R213 provides offset voltage adjustment. The output of U9 is fed to the generator
CPU board as shown on sheet 3.
The cathode mA feedback at J9-4 and J9-3 of the generator control board is used for cathode overcurrent detection only. The cathode mA feedback is applied to the input of differential amplifier U6A. The
output of U6A is taken to the cathode over current detector, whose output is applied to the high cathode
current latch and inverter circuit. The output of U33B will be low for a high cathode current condition. This
will light D71 and pull the input of U33E low via D64, inhibiting the inverter drive as described above for
an anode over voltage fault.
The CATHODE OVERVOLTAGE signal from MD-0759 is also fed into the cathode over current detector
circuit. Therefore, a cathode over voltage condition will disable the inverter gate drive as described
above.
The high anode and high cathode current fault latches are reset by the RESET command, which
originates on MD-0761.
The large and small filament current feedback signals from page 1 are brought to J3 on the control board,
and then routed to J2 and J1 on the control board. From there, these signals are taken to the generator
CPU board as shown on sheet 3.

The large and small filament current feedback signals from page 2 are fed to differential amplifiers U30A
and U30B respectively on the generator CPU board. The CPU monitors the outputs of U30A and U30B
via A/D converter U37.
The Rad mA feedback voltage (1 volt = 100 mA) is applied to U15C on the generator CPU board, and the
fluoro mA feedback signal (1 volt = 2.5 mA) is applied to U23A. The outputs of U15C and U23A are fed to
A/D converter U37, which supplies the mA feedback values to the CPU. The CPU uses the Rad and
fluoro mA feedback information to regulate the X-ray tube mA and to perform mA monitoring functions
during exposures.
The figure on the right of sheet 3 is an expanded functional schematic of the Indico 100 filament supplies,
showing more detail than the figures on page 1.
7.2.8
Low speed starter (MD-0764)

The 120 / 240 VAC and the 52 / 73 / 94 VAC supplies originate on MD-0788. The boost voltage (120 or
240 VAC) and the run-voltage (52, 73, or 94 VAC) is supplied by the power supply auxiliary transformer
T1. These voltages must be properly selected via taps on T1 as described in chapter 2 of the service
manual.
When the CPU receives a prep request, the ENABLE command is generated as described in 7.2.5. This
command originates on the control board, and is brought to the cathode of D17 on the auxiliary board.
This is ORed with the TUBE 1 / TUBE 2 MISMATCH & THERMOSTAT OPEN and 12 VDC / SOFT
START FAULT signal in the base circuit of Q15. If all three of these lines are high, i.e. if the ENABLE
command is present and no tube 1 / tube 2 mismatch & thermostat open or 12 VDC / soft start faults
exist, the base of Q15 will be pulled high, turning on Q15. This will energize K1 on the low speed starter
board. K1 is a protection relay that is closed during normal operation, and open-circuits the stator drive if
any of the above faults are present.
Also when a prep request is made, the PREP command will be applied to the boost and run logic circuit
on the auxiliary board. This will pull J4-11 on the control board low, energizing U2 on the low speed
starter board, initiating the boost cycle. The boost duration is 1.5 seconds or 2.5 seconds, and is
determined by the setting of JW1 on the auxiliary board.
At the completion of the boost cycle, the boost and run logic circuit will pull J4-11 high, turning U2 on the
low speed starter off. Approximately 100 milliseconds after U2 turns off, J4-12 will be pulled low, turning
on U1 on the low speed starter board, initiating the rotor-run cycle.
Q2 and Q1 are triacs that are triggered on the zero crossing points of the AC waveform when U2 or U1 is
energized. These act as low resistance switches when triggered, with Q2 switching the stator boost
voltage, and Q1 switching the stator run-voltage. The output of the triacs is ORed together; therefore
their common output will carry the boost voltage or run-voltage, depending on which triac is energized.
The COMMON line (AC return), connects to the common terminal on the stator terminal blocks via K1.
The boost / run voltages that are controlled by Q2 and Q1 are brought to protection relay K1, and then
applied to the main winding via K3 and K4, and to the shift winding via K2, shift capacitor(s) and K4.
K4 switches the main and shift currents to tube 1 or tube 2. The TUBE SELECT signal that drives K4 is
described in 7.2.3. K3 and K2 are current sense relays that are energized when the stator current is
above preset limits. With K3 and K2 closed, Q3 on the auxiliary board is supplied with base current. This
will turn on Q3, turning on Q18 on the control board.

Low speed starter (Cont)

The STATOR FAULT line (J6-10) on the control board will be low if there is no stator fault, and high for a
fault. This is one of the inputs to the GENERATOR READY detector and logic OR / NOR circuits
described in 7.2.5. A stator fault condition will immediately remove the generator-ready and drive enable
signals, inhibiting kV output. When the CPU detects a stator fault condition (via the circuits depicted on
sheet 2), the kV enable and prep signals are immediately removed, opening relay K1 on the low speed
starter board.

When Q18 on the control board is turned on as described on sheet 1, indicating no stator fault, U5 on the
generator CPU board will be turned on. The CPU monitors the output of U5 via U24, and DS20 / DS21
indicate the stator fault status (DS20 indicates no stator fault, and DS21 indicates a stator fault).
7.2.9
Dual speed starter (MD-0765)

The CPU will determine 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 U27
on the generator CPU board. The output of U27 drives DS8 and DS7 on the generator CPU board, and
energizes U12 on the dual speed starter board via U19 and U16. The dual speed starter CPU monitors
the output of U12, and sets low or high-speed operation based on the state of U12.
The CONTACTOR CLOSED signal that originates on the auxiliary board and closes the main contactor
K5, is also brought to the emitter of Q7 on the control board via R94. This signal is low when the
contactor is closed, turning on U13 on the dual speed starter board if the prep command is present.
The PREP COMMAND is brought to the cathode of D47 on the control board. This is low when prep is
not requested, turning on Q7. With Q7 on, the cathode of U13 on the dual speed starter will be held high,
keeping U13 off. During prep, the prep command will be high. This turns off Q7, allowing U13 to turn on.
The dual speed starter CPU monitors the output of U13, and starts the boost cycle when the output of this
opto coupler is low.
The TUBE 1 / TUBE 2 select signal from MD-0788 is applied to J4-16 of the control board. This will be
low when tube 2 has been selected, energizing U14 on the dual speed starter board. The dual speed
starter CPU monitors the output of U14, and selects tube 1 or tube 2 based on the state of U14. K1 on
the dual speed starter board will close to select tube 1, and K2 will close to select tube 2, all at the start of
prep. K4 is energized only when K1 or K2 is energized, thus isolating the high voltage 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) that 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-U10 and T1-T4, etc. The setting of DIP
switches SW1 and SW2 determines all stator drive parameters (boost voltage and boost time, run
voltage, brake voltage and brake time, etc).
The modulated output from the inverter is applied to the common stator terminal via one leg of the
inverter. The shift and main currents are taken from the other leg of the inverter via K5 and K6. K1-A and
K2-A switch the main current, and K1-A and K1-B switch the shift current.
The following description applies to dual-speed starters 733317-12, 13, 16, 17 and 735925-12, 13, 16, 17
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-oftwo possible capacitor values. The available capacitor values are shown in the tables on MD-0765.

Dual speed starter (Cont)

The operation of dual-speed starter 733317-15 and 735925-15 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 starters 733317-01, 02 and 735925-01, 02 is similar, except that K7 is not
used, resulting in only one value each of low-speed and high speed capacitance: (31F / 6F) for -01 and
(60F / 20F) for -02, respectively.
The contacts of current sense relays K5 and K6 will be closed when the stator current is 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 a stator fault is detected, the
CPU will output a high at J1-10 on the dual speed starter board. This signal is fed to the GENERATOR
READY detector and logic OR / NOR circuits described in 7.2.5. A fault condition will immediately
remove the generator-ready and drive enable signals, inhibiting kV output. Also, the dual speed starter
CPU will open K1 or K2 and K4 on the dual speed starter board, removing the stator drive.
The stator fault signal is also applied to the base of Q18 on the control board. The base of Q18 will be low
if there is no stator fault, turning on Q18. This will turn on U5 on the generator CPU board. The generator
CPU monitors the output of U5 via U24, and DS20 / DS21 indicate the stator fault status.
7.2.10 Rad / fluoro and power mode select (MD-0786)

The circuits shown on MD-0786 control the Rad / fluoro contactor on the resonant board and relay K2 on
the control board, both described in 7.2.6.
The Rad / fluoro select signal from J1-5 of MD-0788 is applied to the base of Q5 on the auxiliary board
via R79. This is high for the Rad / pulsed fluoro mode, and low for the continuous fluoro mode. When in
Rad / pulsed fluoro mode, Q5 will be turned on, lighting D36 and energizing K1 on the resonant board. K1
shorts out the fluoro inductor as described in 7.2.6. In continuous fluoro mode, Q5 is off, de-energizing
K1.
For Rad-only units, the resonant board is not fitted and a jumper is connected from J2-2 to J2-3.
Inverter # 3 on 80 and 100 kW generators is disabled during low power operation (pulsed fluoro,
continuous fluoro, or low power Rad exposures). This is accomplished as described below.
The Rad / fluoro select signal is also applied to the base of Q27 on the control board via R237. This
signal is low in continuous fluoro mode, turning Q27 off. The collector of Q27 will then be high, pulling the
base of Q17 high via D104. This will turn on Q17, energizing K2 on the control board. This removes gate
drive from inverter #3. In Rad / pulsed fluoro mode, the base of Q27 is pulled high, turning on Q27. The
collector of Q27 will then be low. Diode D104 isolates Q27 from Q17 when the collector of Q27 is low.
The low / high power select signal from J8-3 of MD-0788 is applied to the base of Q17 via D105 and
R240. This is low for high power Rad exposures, and high for pulsed fluoro / low power Rad operation.
Q17 will be turned on during pulsed fluoro / low power operation, energizing K2 on the control board,
removing gate drive from inverter #3.
7.2.11 Interlocks & tube 1 / tube 2 tellback (MD-0787)

For R&F generators, a thermal switch is mounted on the inverter heat sink and JW4 on the auxiliary
board is not fitted. The thermal switch will open if an inverter over temperature condition is detected. This
pulls J2-4 on the auxiliary board high, turning on Q10 and lighting D42. With J2-10 pulled high, Q8 is
turned on via D26 and R7. The output of Q8, low for a fault, holds the base of Q15 on the auxiliary board
low as described in 7.2.8. The output of Q8 is also ORed with the kV ENABLE signal on MD-0761,
Page 7-16

inhibiting the prep and X-ray functions when the output of Q8 is low. For Rad-only units with no thermal
switch, JW4 is jumpered in the OFF position (pins 2-3).
The tube 1 / tube 2 tellback portion of MD-0787 ensures that the actual tube selection matches the
requested tube selection. Logic circuits compare the tube 1 / tube 2 request signal to the feedback from a
contact closure in the HT tank.
The TUBE 1 / TUBE 2 SELECT command from MD-0788 is low when tube 2 is selected, and high for
tube 1. This is applied to one input of the tube 1 / tube 2 tellback logic circuit. The output of U7 is
connected to the other input of this logic circuit.
When the tank is in the tube 1 position, U7 and U8 on the auxiliary board are off, and the collector of U7
will be high. In the tube 2 position, U7 and U8 are turned on, and the collector of U7 will be low. If a
mismatch is detected, the base of Q8 is pulled high, turning Q8 on. With Q8 turned on, Q15 on the
auxiliary board will be turned off, and the prep command will be inhibited as described above.
When U8 on the auxiliary board is on (tube 2 position), U3 on the generator CPU board will be turned on.
The output of U3 and the TUBE 1 / TUBE 2 SELECT signal are connected to U35 on the generator CPU
board. U35 decodes the binary inputs, and lights DS5 or DS6 as appropriate.
7.2.12 AEC (MD-0757)

This shows the circuits on the generator interface board that connect to the AEC board. Eight lines supply
the AEC chamber select signals, the field select signals, and the start signal to the AEC board via U25 /
U23 and driver U33 on the generator interface board. The AEC start signal is also connected to the base
of Q7 on the generator interface board, where it turns Q7 on when the start signal is present, taking J14-3
high.
The AEC ramp (PT RAMP) from the AEC board is buffered by U23C on the generator CPU board, and
fed to A/D converter U37 such that it can be monitored by the CPU.
D/A converter U18 on the generator CPU board generates the AEC reference voltage. This is buffered by
U14C, and fed to the AEC board via J10-10 on the generator interface board. The magnitude of the AEC
reference voltage is determined by the CPU, and will be a value between 0 and 10 volts.
The AEC board generates the PT stop signal when the magnitude of the AEC ramp is equal to the AEC
reference voltage. This signal will switch low when the exposure is to be terminated. An active PT stop
signal will pull the base of Q5 low, turning Q5 off, thus turning Q6 on. The output of Q6 is connected to
one of the interrupt inputs on the CPU via U45C on the generator CPU board, where it will terminate the
AEC exposure immediately when the interrupt is received.

The circuits connected to J14 are part of the A EC .circuits. This option is no longer available.

This is the functional schematic of AEC assembly 734614, used with 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 9 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 exit on the generator interface 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 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 exits from the generator interface board. This signal, when active, will cause DS5 on
the AEC board to be lit. 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.
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 interface 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 interface 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 interface 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 pin 1 on J1 to J4 (in addition to the + or - 300 V fixed output
at pin 2).

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.
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-0757.

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 noninverting 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 interface 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 interface board.
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 interface 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 interface 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.

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 chamberselect signals.
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 interface 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
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

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 from U4B is taken to the generator interface 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
The START signal from Q4, and the LEFT, MIDDLE, and RIGHT field select signals from Q1, Q2, Q3

This page shows the AEC input connectors J1 to J4, the PMT high voltage connector J7, and the DC to
DC converter circuits on the AEC interface board. Also shown are the switching circuits for the start
signal, and the chamber-select logic circuits on the AEC board that provide switching signals for the high
voltage adjustment potentiometers R10, R19, and R24.
The DC to DC converter circuit produces +45, +300 and +500 VDC for use with ion chambers, and up to 1000 VDC for photo multiplier tubes. The output of the converter circuit is set by potentiometers R10,
R19, and R24. These pots are switched into the circuit when required, as described next.
The chamber-select signals from the generator interface board are active when low. If AEC is deselected,
as will be the case during fluoroscopic operation, all four chamber-select lines will be high. The input of
U1E will then be pulled high via R23, taking the output of U1E low and the output of U1F high. This will
close analog switch U2A on the AEC interface board, switching R10 into the circuit during non-AEC
operation. This potentiometer is adjusted to set the PMT high voltage during fluoro ABS operation.
When AEC channel 4 is selected, the chamber 4 select line will be low and the output of U1D will be high.
This will close analog switch U2D on the AEC interface board, switching R19 into the circuit. AEC
channel 4 is typically used for digital applications, and R19 allows the PMT high voltage to be optimized
for AEC with digital operation.
If AEC channels 1, 2, or 3 are selected, the output of U1A, U1B, or U1C will be high. This will close
analog switch U2C on the AEC interface board, switching R24 into the circuit. R24 may be used to set the
PMT high voltage if a PMT is used on AEC channel 1, 2, or 3, or R24 may be used to set the output of the
+45 / +300 / +500 VDC supplies for AEC channel 1, 2, or 3 if using an ion chamber that does not have a
built-in high voltage bias supply.
The start signal from the generator interface board is active when low. This signal is inverted by Q4, and
made available without inversion via D24, D28, D32, and D33. R29 is installed on boards that require +24
V for the start and left, middle, and right field-select signals, and R90 is fitted on boards that require +12 V
for the start and left, middle, and right field-select signals. Jumpers JW29, JW31, JW33, and JW35 select
+12 or +24 V start signals for AEC channels 1 to 4 respectively, and JW30, JW32, JW34, and JW36
select active low (0 V) start signals for AEC channels 1 to 4 respectively.

This page shows the high-gain preamplifiers U6A, U6B, U14A, and U14B for solid-state AEC chambers,
the switching circuits for the left, middle, and right field-select signals, and switching circuits that connect
the output of solid-state chambers to the high-gain preamplifiers.
For Ion Chambers:
The field-select signals from the generator interface board are active when low. These signals are
inverted by Q2, Q1, and Q3 and made available without inversion by D19, D21, D25, and D29 for the left
field, D1, D3, D5, and D7 for the middle field, and D8, D12, D14, and D16 for the right field. Jumpers
JW5, JW13, and JW21 select +12 V (if R90 is fitted) or +24 V (if R29 is fitted) for the left, middle, and
right fields for AEC channel 1. Likewise, jumpers JW7, JW15, and JW23 apply to channel 2, JW9, JW17,
and JW25 apply to channel 3, and JW11, JW19, and JW27 to channel 4. Jumpers JW6, JW14, and JW22
select active low (0 V) signals for AEC channel 1. Similarly, jumpers JW8, JW16, and JW24 apply to
channel 2, JW10, JW18, and JW26 apply to channel 3, and JW12, JW20, and JW28 to channel 4.

For Solid-State Chambers:
For solid-state AEC chambers, the start signal (pin 8) must be connected to ground (pin 7) at the AEC
input connectors J1 to J4. Then JW47, JW52, JW57, or JW62, as applicable, must be installed. This
grounds the non-inverting inputs of U6A, U6B, U14A, or U14B. The common anodes on the solid-state
AEC chamber are then connected to ground, and the cathodes are wired to the right, middle, and left
field-select lines.
The left field-select signal from Q2 (high = active) closes U19C, U17B, U16D, and U16A. Likewise, the
middle field-select signal from Q1 closes U19B, U17A, U16C, and U17D, and the right field-select signal
from Q3 closes U19A, U19D, U16B, and U17C. These analog switches route the AEC chamber outputs
to the preamplifiers as described next.
Jumpers JW73, JW72, and JW71 route the signal from the left, middle, and right cathodes of solid-state
AEC chamber 1 to the inverting input of U6A via the analog switches described in the previous
paragraph. In the same way, JW68, JW67, and JW74 route the signal from the cathodes of AEC chamber
2 to U6B, JW63, JW70, and JW69 route the signal from the cathodes of AEC chamber 3 to U14A, and
JW66, JW65, and JW64 route the signal from the cathodes of AEC chamber 4 to U14B.

This page shows the input buffers, sample and hold circuits, integrator circuits, and output comparator
circuits. The output signal from ion chambers is fed to R86 for channel 1, R85 for channel 2, R84 for
channel 3, and R83 for channel 4. The amplified AEC signal from solid-state chambers is applied to the
connections labeled S/S OUT 1, S/S OUT 2, S/S OUT 3, and S/S OUT 4.
For Ion Chambers, Photo Diodes, and PMT:
For AEC channel 1, JW44 must be inserted for devices with a negative (-) output, and JW45 must be
inserted for devices with a positive (+) output. JW43 has no effect for inverting (-) configurations, but is
required on most non-inverting (+) configurations of this board. Regardless of the polarity of the input, the
output of U7B will be a positive DC signal or positive ramp, depending on the AEC device type.
The output of U7B is fed to the input of U5B and to the input of the sample and hold circuit consisting of
U4A, C9, and U7A. When using solid-state or ionization type AEC chambers, this circuit samples any
electrical noise at the input of U5B during standby operation, and subtracts this noise from the AEC signal
during an AEC exposure. This ensures that the output of U5B is proportional to the AEC chamber output
only, and is not influenced by noise. C9 must be shorted if a photo diode or PMT is used for AEC on
channel 1.
The output of U5B is connected to gain pot R1 and the input of U5A. The gain of U5A depends on the
setting of R1. JW2 must be installed to configure U5A as an integrating amplifier for AEC devices with a
DC output, and JW3 must be installed for AEC chambers that output an integrated signal (a DC ramp).
Analog switch U4C is connected to the start signal. This switch opens when an AEC exposure starts,
allowing U5A to start integrating or amplifying the AEC signal.
The output of U5A is applied to U3B, which only closes if channel 1 is selected. With channel 1 selected,
the output of U5A is connected to the AEC short-time adjustment circuit consisting of R91, R120, R121,
and C39. This circuit is disabled when the wiper of R91 is at the ground end of the potentiometer, and
maximum short-time compensation is provided when the wiper is set to the end of the potentiometer
connected to U3B.
The AEC ramp is buffered by U18A and U18B, resulting in a positive ramp at the output of U18B. This
ramp is taken to the generator interface board via R53, where it is processed as described earlier in this
section. The ramp is also fed to comparator U2 on the AEC board where it is compared to the AEC

The circuit description for AEC channels 2 to 4 is similar to that for channel 1. When configuring AEC
channels 2 to 4, the corresponding jumpers must be used.
For Solid-State Chambers:
For solid-state AEC chambers, the amplified AEC signal from sheet 9 is fed to the connection labeled S/S
OUT 1. Jumper JW46 must be inserted in order to connect the AEC signal to the non-inverting input of
U7B. The remainder of the signal flow is as described above.

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 or J2. The AEC signal from the AEC chamber(s) is routed to the
input of analog switches U1C or U1D on the AEC board. These analog switches are controlled by the
chamber-select signals.
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.
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 interface 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
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 interface 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

7.2.13 ABS (MD-0758)

The composite video signal is fed into J8 on the generator interface board, and is amplified by U17D. The
proportional DC is applied to J7 on the generator interface board. The jumpers (designated JW__) select
the input source, input polarity, gain, etc. Refer to chapter 3E for the required positions for these jumpers.
The signal from J7 or from the output of U17D is applied to gain stages U17A and U17B for further
processing. A digital gain pot U49 sets the ABS signal level at the output of U17C. The processed ABS
signal exits the generator interface board at J11-3, and is buffered by U23D on the generator CPU board.
The ABS signal is then fed to the sample and hold circuit, which smoothes out the ABS feedback signal
during pulsed fluoro operation. The CPU monitors the output of the sample and hold circuit via A/D
converter U37, and uses this information to maintain constant image brightness by regulating the fluoro
kV and / or mA.
The output of the PMT at J7-12 of the generator interface board is split by R118 and fed to J7-10 such
that the PMT output is also available for AEC control. This is applicable if a PMT is to be used for AEC
control on AEC channel 4. Refer to chapter 3D, the section AEC USING A PMT for further details.
7.2.14 Remote fluoro control (MD-0766)

The remote fluoro control communicates with the generator via an RS-232 protocol. Serial
communication is handled by U20 and U11 on the generator CPU board, and U7 on the remote fluoro
control board. DS15 on the generator CPU board will flash to indicate that the generator is sending data
to the remote fluoro control, and DS19 will flash to indicate that the remote fluoro control is sending data
back to the generator.
The micro controller on the remote fluoro control board handles all remote fluoro functions. It decodes
serial data from the generator and decodes inputs from the remote fluoro keyboard assembly. The micro
controller drives the speaker on the remote fluoro control board, transmits data to the data latches on the
remote fluoro display board in order to drive the desired LEDs, and sends data to the generator in order
to set up the requested fluoro parameters.
7.2.15 Digital interface (MD-0767)

This page shows the interface circuits between the generator CPU and the digital I/O board. Included are
eight data and address lines, and four control lines for the data and address bus.
The HV ON signal that originates on the generator CPU board is described in 7.2.6, and is routed to the
digital I/O board as shown.
The EXPOSURE ENABLE command is generated by some imaging systems, and is ORed with the
output of U22 on the generator interface board as shown in MD-0761. When this line is pulled low, U46
on the generator CPU board is energized, enabling an X-ray exposure as described in 7.2.5.
Some imaging systems generate a DIGITAL IMAGING ABS signal. This is fed into the input of U17B
on the generator interface board when JW21 is in the appropriate position to select that ABS signal
source. Refer to 7.2.13 for details.
A sync signal that synchronizes the start of exposures is fed to the CPU via U51, U45A / U45B, and U28
on the generator CPU board. Depending on the position of JW22 on the generator interface board, the
sync signal will be either 50 / 60 Hz line frequency pulses from the zero crossing circuit U40 on MD-0788,
or these may be sync pulses supplied by the digital imaging system. DS40 on the generator CPU board
will light when sync pulses are present.
This document does not detail the imaging system pin-outs. Refer to the imaging system documentation
and the appropriate CPI digital imaging supplement for this information.

7.2.15 Digital interface (Cont)

This is the functional schematic of digital I/O board assembly 733752. The address decoder circuits
decode the address and data bus. U4 latches the output data, and driver U6 provides the required current
gain to drive the output devices. The emitter of U10 is taken low when the generator is ready to make an
exposure, and the imaging system will request an exposure by taking the cathode of U10 low. This
results in the collector of U10 being pulled low when the generator is ready and the imaging system
requests an exposure. The output of U10 is the EXPOSURE ENABLE command, described on sheet 1.
DS4 and DS6 to DS10 indicate the status of the outputs.
Multiplexer U7 selects one of two ABS feedback signals, these are designated as the DIGITAL
IMAGING ABS signal, and fed back to the generator interface board as shown on sheet 1.
The digital outputs from the imaging system (inputs to the digital I/O board) are connected to U11 to U13.
When active, these opto couplers will light DS3 to DS1 respectively, and pull the inputs of U8 low. The
output of U8 is read by the generator CPU via the address decoder circuits on the digital I/O board.
The HV ON signal is applied directly to U6, which drives DS4 (EXON) and the corresponding input on the
imaging system.
U14 and U16 provide isolation for the corresponding outputs on the digital I/O board.
SW1 must be set as defined in the digital imaging supplement. This configures the software specifically to
be compatible with the imaging system in use.

decode the address and data bus. U13 and U14 latch the output data, and drivers U15 and U16 provide
the required current gain to drive the output devices. Q2 and Q3 provide level translation for these two
outputs (Q2 and Q3 source +24 VDC when active).
The HV ON signal is applied to Q1 via D3. This takes the collector of Q1 low when the high voltage is on.
Monostable timer U17 is triggered at the start of the HV ON signal, generating a 13 millisecond pulse.
This ensures that the high voltage remains on for a minimum of 13 milliseconds, while having no effect on
high voltage pulses longer than 13 milliseconds.
The digital outputs from the imaging system (inputs to the digital I/O board) are connected to U3 to U8.
When active, these opto couplers will pull the inputs of U12 low. The output of U12 is read by the
generator CPU via the address decoder circuits on the digital I/O board.

This is the functional schematic of digital I/O board assembly 735921. The circuits that interface with the
digital imaging system are the same as those on assembly 733947. These circuits are shown reduced in
size on sheet 4 (within the dashed outline), and full size on sheet 3.
Digital I/O board assembly 735921 is used with some imaging systems that have integrated generator
control functions. Such installations do not need a separate console to control and monitor the X-ray
exposure parameters, but require X-ray mini consoles with on / off and prep / X-ray controls, and prep
and X-ray exposure indicators.
Assembly 735921 includes the circuits described on sheet 3, plus data latch U18, driver U19, and
connectors J4 to J7. J4 on this board connects to the control console connector, J4, on the generator
interface board. The X-ray mini consoles connect to J6 and J7.

The on / off and prep and X-ray commands originate on the X-ray mini console as described on page 5.
These signals are then taken from J6 on the digital I/O board to J4 on the generator interface board.
These functions are as described in MD-0762 and MD-0761 when using the X-ray mini console.
U18 latches the data to drive the speakers and the prep / exposure indicators on the mini consoles, and
U19 provides the required current gain to drive these devices.
A version of this board exists without the digital imaging interface circuits that are shown within the
dashed outline. This board is used with some imaging systems that have integrated generator control
functions, and connect to the generator via a serial port instead of the digital I/O board.

This sheet shows the optional CPI mini consoles. These are typically used in installations where the
digital imaging system has integrated generator control functions. Such systems allow control and
monitoring of generator exposure parameters, but typically do not contain on / off and prep / X-ray
controls and indicators. The CPI mini consoles provide these control and monitoring functions in
installations requiring them.
The X-ray mini console connects to J6 on the digital I/O board. This includes on / off and prep / X-ray
controls as shown. These functions are routed to J4 on the generator interface board, and perform the on
/ off and prep / X-ray functions as described in MD-0762 and MD-0761. An optional hand switch connects
to J2-1, J2-2, J2-3, and J2-4 on the X-ray mini console board. Power ON indicator DS4 is connected to
J6-5 (ground), and lights whenever the generator is switched on. The appropriate bit in U18 is latched
high or low in order to turn on / turn off LS1, LS2 and DS1 to DS3. Driver U19 provides current gain to
drive these devices via J6-3, J6-4, and J6-6 to J6-8.
The optional mini console X-ray exposure indicator connects to J7 on the digital I/O board, and contains
prep and exposure indicators and two speakers. U19 drives DS1, DS2, and LS1, LS2 via J7-1, J7-4, J75, and J7-7 as described above.

gain to drive U7, U10, and U16. U7 and U10 pull the associated inputs on the imaging system low when
active.
The emitter of U14 is taken low when the generator is ready to make an exposure, and the imaging
system will request an exposure by taking the anode of U14 high. This results in the collector of U14
being pulled low when the generator is ready and the imaging system requests an exposure, turning on
U16. The output of U16 is the EXPOSURE ENABLE command, described on sheet 1. The output of U15,
which will also be low when an exposure is requested, is monitored by generator CPU via U8 and the
address decoder circuits on the digital I/O board.
The digital outputs from the imaging system (inputs to the digital I/O board) are connected to U11 and
U13. When active, these opto couplers will pull the corresponding inputs of U8 low. The output of U8 is
read by the generator CPU via the address decoder circuits on the digital I/O board.
This I/O board assembly includes an on-board +5 VDC regulator, U12, that connects to J2-21 and to the
anode of U11.

system low when active. DS3, DS4, and / or DS7 to DS9 light to indicate the active outputs.
The HV ON signal is NANDed with an output from U4 at the input of U3C. With both inputs to U3C high,
the output of U3D will be high. This energizes U15 via driver U6 and DS9 / R9.
The digital outputs from the imaging system (inputs to the digital I/O board) are connected to U11 and
U12. When these inputs are active, DS5 and / or DS6 will light, and the corresponding inputs of U8 will be
low. The output of U8 is read by the generator CPU via the address decoder circuits on the digital I/O
board.

This is the functional schematic of digital I/O board assembly 736894. CPLD U1 decodes the address
and data bus, and latches the output data. The output data is applied to drivers U3, U11, and U17. U3
and U11 provide the required current gain to drive the corresponding inputs on the imaging system. The
associated LEDs will light to indicate which outputs are active. U17 drives the base of Q1, which provides
level translation for that output (sources +24 VDC when active). U17 also energizes K1, and pulls the
emitters of U5, U7, U14, and U16 low when the generator is ready to make an exposure.
Signals from the table or imaging system will request an exposure by taking the anode of U4, U6, U13, or
U15 high. This will energize opto couplers U4 / U5, U6 / U7, U13 / U14, or U15 / U16 respectively. The
outputs of U5, U7, U14, and U16 are ORed together, and provide the EXPOSURE ENABLE command,
described on sheet 1.
The outputs of U4, U6, U13, U15, and U8 are monitored by the generator CPU via U1.
The digital outputs from the imaging system (inputs to the digital I/O board) are connected to U2, U9,
U10, and U12. The outputs of these drivers are monitored by the generator CPU via U1. The LED in
series with each input will light to indicate the status of that input.
The DIGITAL IMAGING ABS signal is taken directly from the imaging system to J1-20.

decode the address and data bus. U4, U6, and U17 latch the output data, and driver U18 provides the
required current gain to drive outputs via J6 and J7. U11 U13 provide level translation for the X-ray,
prep, and generator outputs, resulting in TTL level (5V) differential outputs. The output associated with
U14 is not used at this time.
The HV ON signal is applied to U10 via U3D and U3C. This takes the output of U3C high when the high
voltage is on. Monostable timer U7 is triggered at the start of the HV ON signal, generating a 13
millisecond pulse. This ensures that the high voltage remains on for a minimum of 13 milliseconds, while
having no effect on high voltage pulses longer than 13 milliseconds. U10 provides level translation for the
HV ON signal, providing a TTL level differential output.
With the input to U16 low, the base of Q1 will be pulled high, taking the collector of Q1 low. The collector
of Q1 is monitored by the generator CPU via U8. U15 is not used at this time.

This page shows circuits connected to J101.
With the input of U103 pulled low the output of U103 will be low. An exposure request (EXP_REQ) signal
is then sent to the digital system via J101-8. The digital system will send an exposure acquire
(EXP_ACQ) signal to U106 via J101-2. This active low signal will turn on U106. The U105 driver
provides the required current gain to drive U16 (on sheet 9).
The logic high signal on the output of U101 will turn off the preset input of U102. On the next positive
going edge of the X-RAY ON signal the output of U102 is pulled low, triggering the monostable timer,
U104, generating a short pulse. The output of U104 will pull the base of Q101 high, turning on Q101.
The output of Q101 (EXP_END) is read by the digital system and disables the EXP_ACQ signal.
+24V_EXT is supplied to the digital I/O board by the digital system via J102.
This page shows the circuits connected to J6 and J9 on digital I/O board assembly 738947. CPLD U9
decodes the address and data bus, and latches the output data. The output data is applied to drivers U7,
U8, U10, and U11. Drivers U7, U8, and U10 provide the required current gain to drive the corresponding
inputs on the table.
Signals from the table request an exposure by taking the anode of U12 or U14 high. This will energize
opto couplers U12 / U13 and U14 / U15. U11 energizes K1, and pulls the emitters of U13 and U15 low
when the generator is ready to make a table-requested X-ray exposure or a table-requested fluoroscopic
exposure, respectively. The outputs of U13 and U15 are ORed together, and provide the EXPOSURE
ENABLE command, described on sheet 1. DS1 indicates that the table is requesting a fluoroscopic
exposure, and DS2 indicates that the table is requesting an X-ray exposure.
A prep signal from the table lights DS3 and energizes U19. The output of U19 is monitored by the
generator CPU via U9.
The S.I.D. (Source to Image Distance) signal from the table is an analog signal that is buffered by U23A
and applied to the input of U20, an analog to digital converter that outputs a digital signal representing the
source to image distance.
The sync signal is fed from the imaging system via J7 (sheet 12) to J8-22, or from the table via J6 to J822.

This page shows the circuits connected to J1 to J4, J7, J10, J11, and the voltage regulator circuits. CPLD
U9 decodes the address and data bus, and latches the output data. The output data is applied to drivers
U3, U4, U5, U6, and U11. Drivers U3 to U6 provide the required current gain to drive the corresponding
inputs on the table. U11 drives the base of Q1, Q2, Q4, and Q5, turning on these transistors when the
corresponding input / output is to be energized.
The digital outputs from the imaging system (inputs to the digital I/O board) are connected to U1 and U2.
The outputs are monitored by the generator CPU via U9.
The HV ON signal is applied to U5 via U18B and U17 in parallel with D2. Therefore, the input of U5 will
be high when the high voltage is on. Monostable timer U17 is triggered at the start of the HV ON signal,
generating a 13 millisecond pulse. This ensures that the high voltage remains on for a minimum of 13
milliseconds, while having no effect on high voltage pulses longer than 13 milliseconds.
Regulator circuits U16, U21, and U22 produce regulated outputs of +3.3 VDC, +10 VDC, and +2.5 VDC
respectively.
The ABS signal is brought from the digital imaging system to the generator interface board via J7-1 and
R41 to J8-20, and the sync signal from J7-3 or J7-5 is brought to J8-22 as described under sheet 11.

The output data from U10 is applied to driver U14, which provides the required current gain to directly
drive the output J6-17. U14 also drives opto-couplers U26 and U16 / U18, and pulls the emitters of U22 /
U32 and U23 / U30 low when active. The collectors of U26 and U16 / U18 drive the outputs shown on J6.
Opto-couplers U21 / U23 are energized when J7-24 is pulled low, U20 / U22 are energized when J7-23 is

Five of these outputs are derived from the CPU and latched by U4.
The sixth directly driven output is the X-ray on signal, which is derived from the HV ON signal in the

7.2.16 DAP (MD-0828)

The DAP circuit consists of micro-controller U1, RS-232 driver U2, and associated components on the
DAP interconnect board. Micro-controller U1 operates under control of the CPU on the generator CPU
board via U31 and U38, and controls all DAP functions (switches the +5/15 V supplies via Q1, Q2, Q3 /
Q4, Q5 / Q6, Q7 / Q8, and Q9 / Q10 as required to control and test the DAP devices. The micro-controller
also counts the DAP pulses via U5 for DAP chamber #1, and U6 for DAP chamber #2).
For DAP chambers with differential outputs, JW1 and JW2 must be jumpered pins 2-3. This connects the
differential output from the DAP chambers directly to the input of U5, U6. For DAP chambers with a single
ended output, JW1 and JW2 must be jumpered pins 1-2. This connects the output of the DAP chamber to
the input of opto-couplers U8, U9. These opto-couplers provide increased noise immunity when single
ended DAP chambers are used, as the signal must be greater than approximately 2V in order to turn on
the LED inside U8, U9. The single-ended output of the opto-couplers is then connected to the input of U5,
U6.
DS2 and DS3 on the DAP interconnect board indicate that the DAP chambers are sending pulses back to
the micro-controller, and DS29 and DS32 on the generator CPU board indicate that the CPU is
transmitting and receiving data respectively.
+24 VDC is supplied to the DAP interconnect board from the room interface board. Regulators on the
DAP interconnect board regulate this to +15 V and +5 V.

The console board shown on sheet 1 is used on the 31 X 42 cm console. The console for the other Indico
100 console types is shown on sheet 2.
When the generator is switched on and the start-up diagnostics are completed, the console CPU will
attempt to communicate with the generator CPU. 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 presented.
When the console is sending data to the generator, DS41 on the console board and DS3 on the
generator CPU board will flash. DS1 on the generator CPU board and DS42 on the console board will

2.
This part is common to all models of Indico 100 generators.
3.
Three different filament boards are used in Indico 100 generators. RAD only generators use ONE
filament board, part number 731407-00. R&F generators use TWO filament boards, part number
731407-01 (large focus) and part number 731407-02 (small focus). Spares should be stocked
accordingly.
4.
The part number shown is the suggested replacement for the original auxiliary board. The spares board
is jumper configurable in the field and as such will replace the original auxiliary board. This is intended
to eliminate the need to stock multiple configurations of this board.
5.
The AEC board for your generator was selected to be compatible with specific AEC device(s). 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 shipped in the generator for which this
manual was prepared. Spares should be stocked accordingly.
6.
Remote fluoro control is an option; spares should be stocked accordingly.
7.
These items only used on generators fitted with low speed starter, spares should be stocked
accordingly. The low speed starter part number with 30F phase-shift capacitance for standard R type
stators is 732752-00. The part number with 12.5F phase-shift capacitance is 732752-01, and the part
number with 45F phase-shift capacitance is 732752-02 and the part number with 100F phase-shift
capacitance is 732752-04.
8.
The digital I/O board is optional, and used on generators intended to interface with digital imaging
systems. To ensure full compatibility, please order the same part number that is in your generator(s).
9.
DAP is an option, spares should be stocked accordingly.
10.
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 Indico 100 generators. To determine which dual speed starter subassembly is in
your generator, note the DUAL SPEED STARTER ASSY part number on a label on the rear of the dual
speed starter chassis. This will be the part number that must be ordered for spares usage. For
reference, this will be part number 733317-XX or 735925-XX where XX is a two digit number
designating the exact configuration.
