SECTION 4 EQUIPMENT SAFETY -- ELECTROSTATIC

DISCHARGE (ESD)

A sudden discharge of static electricity from your finger or other conductor can
destroy static-sensitive devices or microcircuits. Often the spark is neither felt
nor heard, but damage occurs. An electronic device exposed to electrostatic
discharge (ESD) might not appear to be affected at all and can work perfectly
throughout a normal cycle. The device can function normally for a while, but it
has been degraded in the internal layers, reducing its life expectancy.

Networks built into many integrated circuits provide some protection, but in
many cases the discharge contains enough power to alter device parameters
or melt silicon junctions.

4.1 GENERATING STATIC

The following table shows that:

 Different activities generate different amounts of static electricity.

 Static electricity increases as humidity decreases.

Relative Humidity

Event 55% 40% 10%

Walking across carpet 7,500 V 15,000 V 35,000 V

Motions of bench worker 400 V 800 V 6,000 V

Removing bubble pack from PCB 7,000 V 20,000 V 26,500 V

Packing PCBs in foam--lined box 5,000 V 11,000 V 21,000 V

Many electronic components are sensitive to ESD. Circuitry design and

structure determine the degree of sensitivity. The following packaging and
grounding precautions are necessary to prevent damage to electric
components and accessories.

 Transport products in static-safe containers, such as tubes, bags, or

boxes to avoid hand contact.

 Protect all electrostatic parts and assemblies with conductive or

approved containers or packaging.

 Keep electrostatic sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at

static-free stations.

1-11
GE Healthcare Proteus XR/f Generator
REV 4 SM 5764770--1EN

 Place items on a grounded surface before removing them from their

container.

 When handling or touching a sensitive component or assembly, ground

yourself by touching the chassis.

 Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.

 Place reusable electrostatic-sensitive parts from assemblies in

protective packaging or conductive foam.

4.2 PERSONAL GROUNDING METHODS AND EQUIPMENT

Use the following equipment to prevent static electricity damage to equipment:

 Wrist straps are flexible straps with a maximum of one--megohm ±10%

resistance in the ground cords. To provide a proper ground, wear the
strap against bare skin. The ground cord must be connected and fit
snugly into the banana plug connector on the grounding mat or
workstation.

 Heel straps, toe straps, and boot straps can be used at standing
workstations and are compatible with most types of shoes or boots. On
conductive floors or dissipative floor mats, use them on both feet with a
maximum of one-megohm ±10% resistance between the operator and
ground.

Carbon--loaded plastic 7,500

Metallized laminate 15,000

1-12
GE Healthcare Proteus XR/f Generator
REV 4 SM 5764770--1EN

4.3 GROUNDING THE WORK AREA

To prevent static damage of components and parts in the work area:

 Cover the work surface with approved static--dissipative material.

Provide a wrist strap connected to the work surface and properly
grounded tools and equipment.

 Use static-dissipative mats, foot straps, or air ionizers to give added

protection.

 Handle electrostatic sensitive components, parts, and assemblies by the

case or PCB laminate.

 Handle components only at static--free work areas.

 Turn off power and input signals before inserting and removing
connectors or test equipment.

 Use fixtures made of static-safe materials when fixtures must directly

contact dissipative surfaces.

 Keep work area free of non-conductive materials, such as ordinary

plastic assembly aids and Styrofoam.

4.4 RECOMMENDED MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT

Materials and equipment that are recommended for use in preventing static
electricity include:

 Antistatic tape, smocks, aprons, or sleeve protectors.

 Conductive bins, foam, tabletop workstations with ground cord of

one--megohm (±10%) resistance, and other assembly or soldering aids.

 Static--dissipating table or floor mats with hard tie to ground.

 ESD Field service kits.

 Static awareness labels.

 Wrist straps and footwear straps providing one-megohm (±10%)

resistance.

 Material handling packages:

G Conductive plastic bags, plastic tubes, and tote boxes.

G Opaque shielding bags.

G Transparent metallized shielding bags and shielding tubes.

SECTION 5 SYSTEM INTERCONNECTIONS

5.1 SYSTEM INTERCONNECTION SIGNALS

All input signals are active low. This means the inputs must be pulled to ground
(chassis ground of the Generator) thru relay contacts, by a transistor or other
switching device. The current requirement of the switch is less than 10 mA.

Do not apply 115 / 220 V~ logic signals to any of the logic

inputs. If 115 / 220 V~ logic signals are used in the X-ray table
(i.e. fluoro command), these signals must be converted to a
contact closure by a relay.

The outputs signals from the Generator to the subsystem devices are usually
active low (switched to chassis ground of the Generator). The outputs are open
collector transistor drivers with a maximum current of 0.5 Amperes.

System Interconnection Signals

SIGNAL NAME SIGNAL DESCRIPTION

HT--C CLK Serial data clock from the HT Control Board. This clock synchronizes the HT--C DATA signal.

HT--C DAT Serial data from the HT Control Board. This data is synchronous with the HT--C CLK signal.

This signal is low when the switch in the high voltage transformer is in the RAD position. This is a safety interlock which
--HT INL
prevents an exposure if the high voltage switch (in the HV Transformer) is in the wrong position.

This analogic signal (originates in the optional AEC Control Board) controls the output of the HV Power Supply on the Interface
HV PT CRL
Control Board. +5 volts programs the output to be 0 volts, and 0 volts programs the output to approximately --1200 volts.

IC GND GND for the IC SPLY.

IC1 INPUT This input is the output of the Bucky 1 Ion Chamber (normally the Table Ion Chamber).

IC2 INPUT This input is the output of the Bucky 2 Ion Chamber (normally the Vertical Bucky Stand Ion Chamber).

IC3 INPUT This input is the output of the Spot Film Ion Chamber.

IC SPLY Power supply for the Ion Chamber. This output should be within the range of 500 to 800 volts.

--kV DWN A low signal is a command for the HT Control Board to drive the Fluoro kVp DOWN during a Fluoro exposure in ABC mode.

--kV UP A low signal is a command for the HT Control Board to drive the Fluoro kVp UP during a Fluoro exposure in ABC mode.

--LINE CONT A low signal energizes the main line contactor K5 in the Power Module.

Signal synchronous with the AC line. This signal originates in the Interface Board and is used to synchronize Fluoro exposures
LINE SYNC
with the AC line.

Commands to the HT Control Board to boost X-ray Tube Filament to the value of mA selected and to start the X-ray Tube Rotor
--PREP
is RAD Tube is selected.

This low going signal indicates the system is ready to make an exposure (Prep cycle complete). This signal is used to interface
--READY
to certain peripheral devices such as Film Changers, etc.

This low going signal indicates the X-ray preparation or exposure. This signal is used to interface to the Room X-ray warning
--ROOM LIGHT
light.

--STRT DR A low signal to indicate the start of an exposure to the Ion Chamber.

--THERMOSTAT-1 This signal from X-ray Tube indicates the overheat of the Tube-1.

SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION

Configuration provides the initial settings for extended memory and checkout
procedures that must be carried out before making X-ray exposures. When the
initial setup and checkout has been completed the generator will be ready for
calibration.

Calibration information and procedures to perform all the adjustments required

to establish optimal performance of this generator are contained in this chapter.

Some configuration and calibration data are entered in digital form and stored
in a non-volatile memory chip (U3-EEPROM) located on the HT Controller
Board, thus no battery back-up is required.

MAKE SURE THAT THE MAIN STORAGE CAPACITORS OF

THE HIGH VOLTAGE INVERTER DO NOT CONTAIN ANY
RESIDUAL CHARGE. WAIT UNTIL THE LIGHT EMITTING
DIODES (LEDS) ON THE CHARGE-DISCHARGE MONITOR
BOARDS ARE OFF, APPROXIMATELY THREE (3) MINUTES
AFTER THE UNIT IS TURNED OFF.

DO NOT SUPPLY THE MAIN POWER FROM THE ELECTRICAL

ROOM CABINET (MAIN DISCONNECT) OR TURN ON THE
SYSTEM UNTIL SPECIFICALLY INSTRUCTED IN THIS
DOCUMENT.

Note . Configuration and Calibration procedures must be performed in

the order listed in this document.

Note . Record all the configuration settings and calibration data in the
Data Book (refer to Appendix A, “Data Book,” at the end of this
Chapter).

5.2 GENERATORS WITH LF-RAC (LOW SPEED STARTER)

5.2.1 STATOR VOLTAGE AND CAPACITOR SELECTION

Check that the capacitor value of the Low Speed Starter

corresponds to the value recommended by the X-ray Tube
manufacturer. If needed replace the capacitor. Also, the Rotor
speed must be indicated by the manufacturer.

The DC Brake of the Low Speed Starter (LF-RAC) can be removed by

desoldering CR6 on the LF-RAC Board (refer to schematic 543020xx). In this
case, the Tube will remain coasting after releasing the “Prep” order.

5.2.1.1 CONFIGURATION FOR ONE TUBE WITH STANDARD STATOR

Voltage and capacitor is factory set to 220 VAC, 30 μF. In all cases, refer to
X-ray Tube Product Data.

5.2.1.2 CONFIGURATION FOR ONE TUBE WITH THE STARTING VOLTAGE AT 110 VAC

When the stator requires a starting voltage of 110 VAC (e.g. X-ray Tube Canon
E7252) perform the following modifications:

 If the Power Input Transformer 6T2 is for using with power lines up to
240 VAC (part number 50509030), remove the wire labelled as “4” that
is connected to Terminal 4 (230 VAC RTR) and connect it to Terminal 3
or 8 (110 VAC).

 If the Power Input Transformer 6T2 is for using with power lines up to 530
VAC (part number 50509029), remove the wire labelled as “4” that is
connected to Terminal 4 (230 VAC RTR) and connect it to Terminal 40
(110 VAC).

 For X-ray Tube Canon E7252 replace also the Fuse F1 (6A) on the
LF-RAC Board by another fuse of 10 A.

5.2.2 PROGRAMMING OF ROTOR ACCELERATION TIME AND RAD FILAMENT SETTING TIME

Rotor Acceleration Time is determined by the X-ray Tube and

Rotor characteristics and it must be considered when the
Generator is about to be configured. X-ray Tube could be
permanently damaged unless the required RPM are reached
before an exposure. (Refer to technical information of the
X-ray Tube).

Dip Switch 3000SW2 on the HT Controller Board is used to program:

 Rotor Acceleration Time. That depends on Stator voltage, Stator

frequency, Stator type, quality of X-ray tube bearings, and X-ray tube
anode size. A reed tachometer or a stroboscope can be used to
determine the anode RPM. Be sure that the Rotor Acceleration Times
meet all requirements for anticipated customer applications.

This value is programmable from 0.8 to 2.7 seconds. After this time the
Rotor is hold running in maintaining mode as long as “Prep” is active.

 Rad Filament Setting Time. This parameter has the same configuration
value than the Rotor Acceleration Time. Sometimes, if it is required to
increase the Rad Filament Setting Time to the next value, configure the
respective switches again. This adjustment avoids Error-12.

Note . The Rotor Acceleration Time and Rad Filament Setting Time is
factory set to 1.8 seconds. Maintain this value when it is unknown
or not provided with the X-ray Tube documentation.

1. Turn the Generator OFF and note current settings of the dip switch
3000SW2 on the HT Controller Board.

Note . Configuration of these times are only allowed when dip switch
3000SW2-1 is in “Closed” (On) position after power the Generator
OFF and back ON again.

3-31
GE Healthcare Proteus XR/f Generator

5.3.3 SELF-RUNNING MODE

The continuous starting and braking of the anode produces an overheating in

the X-ray Tube Stator (e.g. during calibration procedure). The “Self-running
mode” avoids this overheating.

In the “Self-running mode” (switch 3243SW4-6 in the “ON” position), the anode
remains running for approximately 1 minute when rotates at 3300 rpm or
10000 rpm.

The LV-DRAC enters in the “Self-running mode” when “Preparation” is selected

three consecutive times only from the Console buttons or Handswitch, and
the time between two of the consecutive accelerations is shorter than
30 seconds (refer to illustration below).

5.3.5 ANODE STATOR SELECTION

For Generators with High Speed Starter, the X-ray Tube Family (Anode Stator
+ Insert) is configured by setting the respective dip switches 3243SW1 (pos. 4
to 8) on the Control DRAC Board, as previously performed.

Configuration of these dip switches automatically determines the appropriate

Starting and Running Stator Voltage and Rotor Acceleration Time of the
selected Tube Family.

5.3.6 PROGRAMMING OF RAD FILAMENT SETTING TIME

Dip Switch 3000SW2 on the HT Controller Board is used to program:

 Rad Filament Setting Time. This value is programmable from 0.8 to 2.7
seconds. It can be initially set as the same value assigned for the Rotor
Acceleration Time (refer to technical information of the X-ray Tube)

Note . The Rad Filament Setting Time is factory set to 1.8 seconds.
Maintain this value when it is unknown or not provided with the
X-ray Tube documentation.

If it is required to increase the Rad Filament Setting Time to the next

value, configure the respective switches again. This adjustment avoids
Error-12.

1. Turn the Generator OFF and note current settings of the dip switch
3000SW2 on the HT Controller Board.

Note . Configuration of these times are only allowed when dip switch
3000SW2-1 is in “Closed” (On) position after powering the

SECTION 6 CALIBRATION PROCEDURES

MAKE SURE THAT THE MAIN STORAGE CAPACITORS OF

THE HIGH VOLTAGE INVERTER DO NOT CONTAIN ANY
RESIDUAL CHARGE. WAIT UNTIL THE LIGHT EMITTING
DIODES (LEDS) ON THE CHARGE-DISCHARGE MONITOR
BOARDS ARE OFF, APPROXIMATELY THREE (3) MINUTES
AFTER THE UNIT IS TURNED OFF.

DO NOT SUPPLY THE MAIN POWER FROM THE ELECTRICAL

ROOM CABINET (MAIN DISCONNECT) OR TURN ON THE
SYSTEM UNTIL SPECIFICALLY INSTRUCTED IN THIS
DOCUMENT.

Calibrate the Generator immediately after Configuration is

completed.

Note . Enter in GSM Program for Calibration procedures as described in

the “Configuration” document.

Enter and store calibration data in the Extended Memory

Locations as described in Section 4.2.

Record all the calibration data in the Data Book (refer to Appendix
A, “Data Book,” at the end of this Chapter).

3-43
GE Healthcare Proteus XR/f Generator
REV 4 SM 5764770--1EN

Before calibration, bear in mind that:

 For calibration and measurement a kVp a non-invasive kVp meter is

needed.

 For calibration and measurement an mA or mAs Meter is needed

plugged to the banana connections on the HV Transformer (Digital mA
Loops calibration).

Note . Test points on the HT Controller Board can also be used to monitor
the kVp and mA readings but should not be used to calibrate the
unit. These test points must be checked with scope:

- mA test point is TP-5 and the scale factor is:

- from 10 to 80 mA, 1 volt = 10 mA
- greater than 100 mA, 1 volt = 100 mA

- kVp test point is TP-7 and the scale factor is 1 volt = 33.3 kVp
(0.3 volt = 10 kVp)

 Verify that DIP switch 3024SW2-3 on the ATP Console CPU Board is in
the ON position to permit the service mode.

 Verify the position of the DIP switches on the HT Controller Board during
every calibration procedure:

DIP SWITCH OPEN (OFF) CLOSED (ON)

Disables Filament and Rotor Interlocks

Position during operation -- Enables Filament and
3000SW2-2 (this turns off the filament so no radiation will
Rotor Interlocks
be produced during the exposure).

3000SW2-4 Position during operation -- Digital mA Loop Closed Digital mA Loop Open / Filament Current Constant

Note . Only for Generators with Low Speed Starter (LF-RAC) (it does not
apply to Generators with High Speed Starter - LV-DRAC):

-- When the Digital mA Loop is open (dip switch 3000SW2-4 in

“On”), the rotor runs for two minutes after releasing the handswitch
button from “Preparation” position. After this time the rotor will
brake (unless DC Brake is removed).

-- When the Digital mA Loop is closed (dip switch 3000SW2-4 in

“Off”), the rotor will brake after releasing the handswitch button
from “Preparation” position (unless DC Brake is removed).

6.4 DIGITAL mA LOOP CLOSED

Extended Memory Locations E03 and E05 contain the calibration factor for
Digital mA Loop Closed. Each number above or below the indicated in the
Memory Locations increases or decreases respectively the mA gain value.

Values in E03 and E05 Memory Locations are only related to

the Generator performance (they are not related to the X-ray
Tube installed), so values in these Memory Locations are
factory adjusted. Only perform this procedure if the HT
Controller Board and/or HV Transformer have been replaced
in the unit.

The mA Gain for Digital mA Loop Closed is calibrated by performing the

following steps:

1. With the Generator power OFF, set:

6.5 DIGITAL mA LOOP OPEN (X-RAY TUBE CALIBRATION)

To achieve the most accurate calibration, this procedure has to be

automatically performed by the Generator (Auto-calibration). Calibration
procedure will be manually performed by the field engineer only if
Auto-calibration is not possible.

Two different methods are described in this section: Auto-calibration and

Manual Calibration.

Digital mA Loop Open is calibrated by performing the following steps:

1. With the Generator power OFF, set:

G Dip switch 3000SW2-2 on the HT Controller Board in “Off” position

(enables Filament and Rotor Interlocks).

G Dip switch 3000SW2-4 on the HT Controller Board in “On” position

(Digital mA Loop Open / Filament Current Constant).

2. Turn the Generator ON.

3. Perform the Auto-calibration procedure as described in Section 6.5.1 for

each X-ray Tube in the system.

6.5.1 AUTO-CALIBRATION OF DIGITAL mA LOOP OPEN

Auto-calibration of the Filament Current Numbers is divided in two separated

procedures related to the mA stations configured for the Small or Large Focal
Spots.

It is recommended to start with the Small Focal Spot (first group) and continue
with the Large Focal Spot (second group).

EACH TIME THAT AUTO-CALIBRATION IS ACTIVATED IN A

mA STATION (OR IN “E01” MEMORY LOCATION), ALL THE
FILAMENT CURRENT NUMBERS OF THE SELECTED FOCAL
SPOT ARE AUTOMATICALLY SET TO “344”. SO A NEW
COMPLETE CALIBRATION OF THE FILAMENT CURRENT
NUMBERS FOR THIS FOCAL SPOT WILL BE REQUIRED.

3-57
GE Healthcare Proteus XR/f Generator
REV 4 SM 5764770--1EN

Auto-calibration starts with the minimum available mA station for the selected
Focal Spot at 50 kV and follows with the other combinations of mA stations for
the selected Focal Spot at 80 kV, 120 kV and 40 kV.

1. Enter in Auto-calibration mode by pressing the “Auto Calibration” button

on the GSM menu.

2. Select an available workstation (WS) of the X-ray Tube to be calibrated

and press the “OK” button. This workstation has to be one of the
previously configured as “Direct”.

3. Select the Small Focal Spot by pressing the “Small” button and then
press the “OK” button.

Confirm or leave the Auto-calibration by pressing the respective button

(“Yes” or “No”) on the new screen.

3-58
GE Healthcare Proteus XR/f Generator
REV 4 SM 5764770--1EN

4. Confirm or leave the Auto-calibration (second confirmation) by pressing

the respective button (“Confirm” or “Dismiss”) on the calibration screen.

5. Auto-calibration is activated when the “Auto Calibration” button is lighted

and the “Press Prep and Expose” message appears on the screen. At
this moment, the Generator has checked the mA stations available for
the Small Focal Spot.

3-59
GE Healthcare Proteus XR/f Generator
REV 4 SM 5764770--1EN

6. Check that the Heat Units capacity available for the X-ray Tube is 100%
or nearly.

BEFORE MAKING ANY EXPOSURE IN AUTO-CALIBRATION,

VERIFY THAT THE LINK BETWEEN THE BANANA PLUG
CONNECTIONS ON THE HV TRANSFORMER IS INSTALLED.

7. Keep fully pressed the Handswitch button to perform continuous

exposures.

Note . In Auto-calibration mode, all technique parameters are factory

pre-programmed and they can not be changed.

Auto-calibration can be paused momentarily releasing the

Handswitch button, whenever there is not an exposure in
process. Do not exit from Auto-calibration before the
procedure has been completed.

Note . Auto-calibration can be cancelled by pressing the “Auto

Calibration” button. A message on the screen informs that
Auto-calibration has been cancelled and after a while the screen
shows the GSM menu.

Note . The mA filament number will populate on the bottom of the screen
when that mA station is calibrated before moving to the next
station. This number can be updated for the filament current
numbers chart for the backup.

If during Auto-calibration process, any error indication is shown

momentarily (such as “Tube Overload”, etc.), it means that Generator
can not calibrate in this moment the selected kV / mA combination
(because anode overheated, space charge, Generator power limit, etc.).
In this case, the Generator will continue with Auto-calibration of the
following available kV / mA combinations for the selected Focal Spot. At
the end of the process it will try to calibrate or calculate the combinations
previously uncalibrated.

If the Heat Units capacity available is less than 40%, exposures are
inhibited momentarily and message “Tube too hot” is shown on the
screen. This message will disappear and exposures can be made again
when the X-ray Tube begins to cool and recovers the Heat Units capacity.

At this point, it is recommended to wait until the Heat Units capacity

available is close to the 80% before making any exposure.

3-60
GE Healthcare Proteus XR/f Generator
REV 4 SM 5764770--1EN

Generator tries to calibrate each kV / mA combination for ten (10)

attempts (maximum). If calibration is cancelled (after ten attempts),
message “Auto calibration failure” is shown on the screen until press the
“Auto Calibration” button to exit from Auto-calibration mode and go back
to the GSM menu. Calibration can be also cancelled due to space charge
during calibration of the lowest kV at the highest mA stations for the Focal
Spot selected, so message “Auto calibration failure” is also shown on the
screen until press the “Auto Calibration” button to exit from
Auto-calibration mode and go back to the GSM menu.

ONLY IF AUTO-CALIBRATION IS CANCELLED DUE TO

“AUTO CALIBRATION FAILURE”, CONTINUE THE
AUTO-CALIBRATION PROCEDURE FOR THE OTHER FOCAL
SPOT. CHECK AT THE END OF THE AUTO-CALIBRATION
PROCEDURE WHICH kV / mA COMBINATIONS HAVE NOT
BEEN AUTO-CALIBRATED FOR EACH FOCAL SPOT (THESE
COMBINATIONS HAVE THE FILAMENT CURRENT NUMBER
SET TO “344”). MANUALLY CALIBRATE THESE kV / mA
COMBINATIONS AS EXPLAIN IN SECTION 6.5.2.

When Auto-calibration is successfully performed, message “Auto

Calibration OK” is shown on the screen until press the “Auto Calibration”
button to exit from Auto-calibration mode and go back to the GSM menu.

8. Repeat the same procedure for the Large Focal Spot.

Enter in Auto-calibration mode by pressing the “Auto Calibration” button

on the GSM menu.

Select an available workstation (WS) of the X-ray Tube to be calibrated

and press the “OK” button. This workstation has to be one of the
previously configured as “Direct”.

Select the Large Focal Spot by pressing the “Large” button and then
press the “OK” button.

Confirm or leave the Auto-calibration by pressing the respective button

on each screen.

Auto-calibration is activated when the “Auto Calibration” button is lighted.

At this moment, the Generator has checked the mA stations available for
the Large Focal Spot.

Before starting the exposures, it is recommended to wait until the Heat

Units capacity available is close to the 80%.

3-61
GE Healthcare Proteus XR/f Generator
REV 4 SM 5764770--1EN

9. After performing both procedures (for Small and Large Focal Spots),
enter in “Manual Calibration” mode and select each combination of the
available mA stations for each Focal Spot at the kV break points (40, 50,
80 and 120 kV). Press the “Read” button to read on the calibration panel
the new value of the Filament Current Number stored for each
combination and record the new values in the Data Book (refer to
Appendix A, “Data Book,” at the end of this Chapter).

Note that the highest mA station for Small Focal Spot may have numbers
larger than the lowest mA station for Large Focal Spot. This is normal.

10. Exit from calibration mode.

11. Turn the Generator power OFF and set Dip Switch 3000SW2-4 on the
HT Controller Board in “Off” position (Digital mA Loop Closed).

6.5.2 MANUAL CALIBRATION OF DIGITAL mA LOOP OPEN

This procedure describes the Manual calibration of all the Filament Current
Numbers. It has to be also used to calibrate the kV / mA combinations not
performed during Auto-calibration procedure because it has not been
completed. These combinations have the Filament Current Number set to
“344”, so only these combinations have to be manually calibrated as described
in this procedure. If Auto-calibration for one of the Focal Spots has been
successful, it is only required to perform the manual calibration of the mA station
do not calibrate for the other Focal Spot.

Manual Calibration is initiated at the 80 kV break point by entering the

appropriate Filament Current Number for the proper tube current at each
selectable mA. Calibration at the other kV break points (40, 50, 80 and 120 kV)
are obtained by adding or subtracting values as indicated in Table 3-8.

Although the suggested values (Table 3-8) could change depending on the
X-ray tube used, entering those values will approximate accurate calibration
without making excessive exposures.

In “Manual Calibration” mode, the Filament Current Numbers are shown on the
calibration panel by pressing the “Read” button after selecting the respective
kV / mA combination. The value can be changed by pressing the “Increase” or
“Decrease” buttons of the calibration panel and stored by pressing the “Store”
button.

Note that in calibration mode, only the mA stations and kV (at the break points)
can be selected.

GE Healthcare Proteus XR/f Generator
REV 4 SM 5764770--1EN

1. With the Generator power OFF, set:

G Dip switch 3000SW2-2 on the HT Controller Board in “Off” position

(enables Filament and Rotor Interlocks).

G Dip switch 3000SW2-4 on the HT Controller Board in “On” position

(Digital mA Loop Open / Filament Current Constant).

G Remove the link between the banana plug connections on the HV

Transformer. Connect the mAs Meter to the banana plug
connections to measure mA or mAs.

2. Turn the Generator ON and enter in calibration mode by pressing the

“Manual Calibration” button on the GSM menu.

3. Select an available workstation (WS) of the X-ray Tube to be calibrated

and press the “OK” button. This workstation has to be one of the
previously configured as “Direct”.

4. Check that the Heat Units capacity available for the X-ray Tube is 100%
or nearly.

5. Accordingly to X-ray Tube ratings or maximum Generator power, check

which kV / mA combinations in Table 3-8 are allowed.

If error “Tube Overload” is shown after selection of a kV / mA combination,

it means this combination is not allowed for the selected X-ray Tube.

In calibration mode, if Generator power is exceeded by a kV / mA

combination selection, error “E-16” is shown after “Preparation”. Reset
this error by pressing the “Reset Error” button.

Note which combinations in Table 3-8 can not be calibrated by making

exposures (combinations not allowed due to Tube rating, maximum
Generator power, space charge, etc.) and the Exposure Time assigned
to these combinations in calibration mode.

6. Enter in user mode inside calibration mode by pressing the “Go to User
Mode” button. Select the mA station and Exposure Time of each kV / mA
combination not allowed. Increase or decrease the kV value as required
to determine the kV value allowed nearest to the kV value of the
combination. Note the kV value allowed in the respective cell of
Table 3-8.

7. Exit from the “User Mode” screen by pressing the “Manual Calibration”
button. Select 80 kV and lowest mA station available (first combination
available). Enter a Filament Number of “500” for this combination.

3-64
GE Healthcare Proteus XR/f Generator
REV 4 SM 5764770--1EN

8. Make an exposure. The mAs read on the mAs Meter must be the same
mAs displayed on the calibration screen with a tolerance of ± 0.1 mAs
(tolerance of the parameter and mAs Meter). If the mAs read is close to
zero, increase the filament number in big steps (e.g. increase values in
40). As the mAs read is close to the mAs displayed on the Console,
increase (or reduce) the filament number in smaller steps (e.g. increase
value in 30, 20, 10, ...).

If the mAs is low, increase the filament number. If the mA is high,

decrease the filament number. Press the “Store” button before making
a new exposure. Repeat until the mA station is calibrated.

Note . Press the “Store” button to store the new data (filament number)
before selecting the next kV or mA stations.

Calibration data (presently in memory) may or may not be

close to your requirements. If it is not close, the potential
exists to damage the X-ray tube (i.e. too much mA). Thus, as
you start the mA calibration procedure note how close or how
far off the mA break points are. If a large adjustment (more
than 40 points) is required at the low mA stations, make
estimated adjustments to the high mA stations before those
exposures are made.

9. Select the next mA station at 80 kV. Before making any exposure, enter
as filament number the value calibrated for the previous mA station
increased in 10.

If the mAs is low, increase the filament number. If the mA is high,

decrease the filament number. Press the “Store” button before making
a new exposure. Repeat until the mA station is calibrated.

10. Complete the calibration process for all mA stations at 80 kV as

described before. When select the first mA station for the Large Focal
Spot, enter as a filament number the value calibrated for the first mA
station for the Small Focal Spot. Note that the highest mA station for
Small Focal Spot may have numbers larger than the lowest mA station
for Large Focal Spot. This is normal.

Press the “Read” button to read on the calibration panel the new value
of the Filament Current Number stored for each mA station at 80 kV.
Record the new values in the Data Book (refer to Appendix A, “Data
Book,” at the end of this Chapter).

3-65
GE Healthcare Proteus XR/f Generator
REV 4 SM 5764770--1EN

11. Complete the calibration process for the remaining kV / mA combinations

using Table 3-8 as a guide. It is not necessary to make exposures to do
this. Compute the value for all the kV break points of each available mA
station although the Generator power can not reach all the kV / mA
combinations. Select the corresponding kV / mA combination and enter
the computed value.

12. Check calibration at all break points (making exposures) and correct any
calibration points as needed.

Note . If “Tube Overload” error is shown directly after selection of an

allowed combination (refer to step-5.), wait until the X-ray tube
anode cools down to permit the calibration of the mA station.

13. Recalculate the values of the non-allowed combinations in accordance

to the new values obtained by exposures. (Refer to Table 3-8).

14. Enter in user mode inside calibration mode by pressing the “Go to User
Mode” button. Select the mA station, Exposure Time and kV value noted
for each kV / mA combination not allowed (refer to step-6.). Check
calibration at these kV / mA combinations by making exposures. If
needed, enter in calibration mode and correct the Filament Current
Number of the respective kV / mA combination not allowed.

15. Exit from the “User Mode” screen by pressing the “Manual Calibration”
button. In calibration mode, select each combination of the available mA
stations at the kV break points (40, 50, 80 and 120 kV). Press the “Read”
button to read on the kV Display the new value of the Filament Current
Number stored for each combination. Record the new values in the Data
Book (refer to Appendix A, “Data Book,” at the end of this Chapter).

6.6 AEC CALIBRATION

This section provides the calibration steps to achieve proper AEC performance
for Proteus XR/f Radiographic System, in order to achieve the correct image at
the lowest possible dose.

The term “Optimum Gray Level” refers to some measurement criteria and may
be either:

 a measured exposure in μGray, or

 a system calculation called EI (Exposure Index), or

 a system calculation called S-Value.

This procedure will use the EI measurement method because of variations in

back-scatter characteristics, detector conversion factor, and detector
sensitivity. The EI value is calculated within a 4 cm x 4 cm ROI (Region of
Interest), and should be checked using a raw image. Raw images must be
acquired with the “S-Value” exam tag (in the QC group). An exposure of 1 μGray
will produce an equivalent of 102 to 110 EI.

AEC performance is controlled by a hardware gain potentiometer in the

Pre-Amplifier of the Ion Chamber and several software parameters stored in the
Generator (Extended Memory Locations).

The following table indicates the Extended Memory Locations related to AEC
Calibration.

AEC Calibration is carried out using a specified test setup and a Homogeneous
Aluminum Phantom (21 mm thickness, 99% purity) installed in the Collimator
guides, to produce a testing exposure time between 50 ms and 300 ms.

Illustration 3-9
Homogeneous Aluminum Phantom

The radiation signal detected by the sensors (also known as Ion Chambers) is
stepped up by an adjustable gain amplifier. Its output is passed to an AEC
control circuit with a comparator stage, which activates the AEC Stop command
when the signal exceeds the reference.

Therefore, the AEC Stop depends on the Signal (kV, mA, SID, Phantom, and
Gain Pot) compared to the Software Parameters.

The AEC calibration procedure is carried out in 3 parts:

 The 1st part is to adjust the Optimum Gray Level at 70 kV.

 The 2nd part is to adjust kV-Tracking for the same Optimum Gray Level
at 55 kV and 90 kV (¦ 20%).

 The 3rd part is to fine-tune and validate the AEC performance using the
imaging sub-system.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This procedure produces ionizing radiation. Refer to the

product documentation for additional safety advice.

PREREQUISITES

 The X-Ray Generator and Imaging System are functional, i.e. exposures
can be taking through CS7 PC Workstation.

 The X-Ray Tube is calibrated and the System alignment meets

specifications.

Before starting with the AEC Calibration, it is necessary that

the Alignment of X-Ray Beam and the Alignment of Light Field
with X-Ray Field should be performed.

Note . If the X-Ray beam energy (kV, mA) is mis-calibrated or mis-aligned

(SID), the AEC accuracy will be affected.

 The Service Engineer has been trained on the Proteus XR/f and is
familiar with operating the CS7 and TechService applications.

AEC is calibrated with “Density 0” selected (Normal Image Gray level). The
Density can be increased or decreased in several steps.

The variation percentage of the density scale is factory set at 25%. This
variation can be set according to the customer preferences by changing the
value stored in E12 Memory Location. This value applies to both tubes.

The range of the scale is “from --4 to +4”.

The following table shows some examples for the variation percentage of the
density scale with reference to the value stored in E12 Memory Location.

SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION

The Generator contains many self-diagnostic routines which greatly facilitate

troubleshooting. Self-diagnostic functions require a proper performance of all
microprocessors. Each microprocessor contains LEDs that indicate correct
operation.

As a general rule, the first step in any troubleshooting procedure is to verify

correct Power Supply Voltages and perform a visual inspection of all Boards and
Cable connections.

Upon arrival at the X-ray Room, the Service Engineer should carry out the
following operations:

 If the Generator cannot be Powered up, run the troubleshooting for Error
Code E01.

 If the Generator can be Powered up:

G Check which Error Code is displayed on the Console and run the
troubleshooting routines for the last Error Code displayed.

G If there is no error code displayed, try to reproduce the failure in

the conditions reported by the Operator. The Error Code displayed
might be different from the one reported. In all cases, run the
troubleshooting routines for the last Error Code displayed.

4-3
GE Healthcare Proteus XR/f Generator
REV 4 SM 5764770--1EN

Whenever the HV Transformer, X-ray Tube, ATP Console CPU

Board, HT Controller Board, or Filament Control Board is
replaced in the Generator, the respective Configuration and
Calibration procedures must be performed.

If the HT Controller Board or the ATP Console CPU Board are

replaced, check that the Extended Memory data have not
been lost or modified with the Board change. Compare
Extended Memory data displayed on the Console with the
values noted in the Data Book.

Revision of Boards should be checked, the new Board must

be compatible with the replaced one, that is, the same o
higher revision than the replaced Board. The EEPROM
information has to match the Generator options.

If the HT Controller Board is replaced in the Power Module,

transfer U3-EEPROM from the old Board to the new Board.
U3-EEPROM contains calibration data.

If U3-EEPROM is not transferred, a complete Calibration must

be performed.

Make various exposures, using different techniques and

Focal Spots, to verify that mA stations are calibrated
correctly. If they are not, perform Calibration procedures.

Update and record in the Data Book any new data entered in
the Extended Memory Locations.

1.2 GENERAL CAUTIONS

MAKE SURE THAT THE MAIN STORAGE CAPACITORS OF

THE HIGH VOLTAGE INVERTER DO NOT CONTAIN ANY
RESIDUAL CHARGE. WAIT UNTIL THE LIGHT EMITTING
DIODES (LEDS) ON THE CHARGE-DISCHARGE MONITOR
BOARDS ARE OFF (APPROXIMATELY THREE (3) MINUTES
AFTER THE UNIT IS TURNED OFF).

TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT TOUCH ANY

HEATSINK OF THE CIRCUIT BOARDS EVEN WITH THE
GENERATOR TURNED OFF. PREVIOUS TO DISASSEMBLE
ANY BOARD, REMOVE ALL CONNECTORS PLUGGED TO IT.

DO NOT SUPPLY THE MAIN POWER FROM THE ELECTRICAL

ROOM CABINET (MAIN DISCONNECT) OR TURN ON THE
SYSTEM UNTIL SPECIFICALLY INSTRUCTED IN THIS
DOCUMENT.

ALWAYS HAVE THE “IPM DRIVER BOARD” CONNECTED IN

THE GENERATOR PREVIOUS TO ACTIVATING MAINS
POWER. IF THE “IPM DRIVER BOARD” IS NOT CONNECTED,
IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE WILL OCCUR TO THE IGBTS.

THIS GENERATOR IS PERMANENTLY CONNECTED TO THE

POWER LINE AND POWERED ON UNLESS THE SAFETY
SWITCH INSTALLED IN THE ROOM ELECTRICAL CABINET
IS OFF. WHEN THE GENERATOR IS POWERED ON, THE
NEON LAMP (GREEN) LOCATED ON THE TRANSFORMER
6T2 (GENERATOR CABINET) IS ON.

INTERNAL PARTS OF THE GENERATOR (ALL FUSES, LINE

CONTACTOR (6K5), INPUT TRANSFORMER (6T2), ON/OFF
RELAY (3K3) AND LF-RAC MODULE) RECEIVE
CONTINUOUS POWER THROUGH THE POWER LINE
ALTHOUGH THE CONTROL CONSOLE IS OFF. BE SURE
THAT THE SAFETY SWITCH IS OFF BEFORE HANDLING ANY
INTERNAL PART OF THE EQUIPMENT.

SECTION 2 GENERAL PROCEDURES

2.1 LOW DC VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLY TEST

The Generator operates from a Low DC Voltage Power Supply located in the
Front Panel (MOD. 3) of the Generator Cabinet. (Refer to Illustration 4-1).

Turn the Generator ON and with a Digital Multimeter measure between:

 P2-3 (+) and P2-4 on the HT Controller Board. Check that the voltage
at this point is +5 (±0.2 VDC). If required, adjust voltage with the
+5 VDC Adjustment Potentiometer on the Power Supply Board.

 P2-2 (+) and P2-4 on the HT Controller Board. Check that the voltage
at this point is +12 (±0.1 VDC). If required, adjust voltage with the
+12 VDC Adjustment Potentiometer on the Power Supply Board.

 P2-1 (--) and P2-4 on the HT Controller Board. Check that the voltage
at this point is --12 (±0.1 VDC). If required, adjust voltage with the
--12 VDC Adjustment Potentiometer on the Power Supply Board.

REV 4 SM 5764770--1EN

The ATP Console CPU Board operates from a 12 VDC Unregulated Supply
located in the Generator Cabinet that supplies to a 5 VDC switching regulator
located in the ATP Console CPU Board.

Turn the generator ON and with a Digital Multimeter measure between:

 J1-2 or J1-8 (12V UNR) with J1-6 or J1-1 (GND) on the ATP Console CPU
Board; likewise, TP11 (GND UNR) with TP9 (12V UNR) on the ATP
Console CPU Board. Check that the voltage at this point
is +12 (±1.5 VDC).

If the measured voltage is not +12 (±1.5 VDC), check the 12 VDC
Unregulated Supply of the generator, that is, between terminals 11 and
12 of the Input Transformer 6T2, Fuse 3F7 (3A, 250 V), Contactor 3K3,
Rectifier 3BR4, and Capacitor 3C7. (Refer to schematic 543020xx).

 TP1 GND and TP3 +5 V on the ATP Console CPU Board. Check that the
voltage at this point is +5 (±0.2 VDC). If not, replace the ATP Console

2.2 MICROPROCESSORS AND GENERAL OPERATION

The following LEDs indicate the proper operation of each Microprocessor in the
Generator:

 The LED DS1 located on the HT Controller Board blinks fast during
power up, then slows to a steady blink of about two (2) per second,
indicating that the Microprocessor U5 is operating normally.

 The LED DS2 located on the ATP Console CPU Board normally blinks
at the same rate as LED DS1 on the HT Controller Board, indicating that
communication between both Boards is correct.

Also observe the following LEDs to facilitate general troubleshooting:

 When LED DS1 located on the Interface Control Board is ON (lit), it

indicates that the Generator is ON.

 The LED DS1 located on the ATP Console CPU Board is normally ON
(lit), indicating that the Watch-Dog Timer of the Console is operating and
insuring the correct timing of data communications with the HT Controller
Board.

2.3 REPLACEMENT OF MEMORY IN ATP CONSOLE CPU BOARD AND/OR

HT CONTROLLER BOARD

Before starting up the system, you have to set ON the switch A3024SW2--3 at
the ATP Console CPU Board to enable Service Mode. A few seconds after
pressing the ON button on the Console, you will see E10 (this is shown because
the EPROM U24 has been replaced).

Reset the error indication by pressing the respective button on the Console and
keep it pressed until Error 10 disappears.

After this, the normal start up will take place.

It is recommended to set this switch back to OFF once the installation has been
completed, so the operator will not have access to Configuration or Calibration
Modes (Service Modes).

ERROR CODE : E09 -- GENERATOR OVERLOAD

DESCRIPTION : Generator overload. Arcing or IGBT fault.

ERROR TYPE : Informative.
APPLICABLE TO : All Generators
APPEARS WHEN : During the exposure and In Stand-by,
INFORMATION / SYMPTOM : This error may appear at the Console as “E09” Error Code or as a “Generator Overload”
indication.
During exposure an over current on the IGBTs of the HV Inverter Module has been detected. This
may be produced by an arc or malfunction on the HV Circuitry.
In stand-by, the Console is continuously displaying “E09” or “Generator Overload” due to a defective
or overheated IGBT Module.

POSSIBLE CAUSES
Symptom-1:
G Defective X-ray Tube.
G Defective HV Transformer or HV Cable.
G Defective Inverter Module.
G Defective HT Controller Board.
Symptom-2:
G Extremely high Duty Cycle on Rad and Fluoro operation.

ACTIONS

A. PRELIMINARY

1. Select minimum kVp , minimum mA, and 80 ms (for example 40 kVp, 10mA, and 80 ms). Make
preparation and check that anode rotates in the X-ray Tube. If the anode is not rotating
correctly, check the starter and the Stator connections.

2. In case the anode is rotating correctly, make an exposure:

G If “09” or “Generator Overload” appears, follow the procedure in paragraph B, “Inverter
Module Test.”
G If not, follow step 3.

3. Increment kVp in 10 kVp steps, select the same mA and time. Make an exposure:
G If “E09” or “Generator Overload” appears, or the exposure is cut before 80 ms, then follow
Procedure C, “HV Transformer Test.”
G If not, keep on increasing the kVp in 10 kVp steps (60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, and 125
kVp for 125 kVp HV Transformers; and 130, 140, 150 kVp for 150 kVp HV Transformers)
making Exposures at each kVp selected.
-- If “E09” or “Generator Overload” appears or the exposure is cut before 80 ms at any
kVp selected, follow Procedure C, “HV Transformer Test.”
-- If “E09” or “Generator Overload” has not appeared at the maximum kVp or the
exposure was not cut before 80 ms, it means that the HV Transformer and the HV
Cables are OK. Then follow Procedure F, “RANDOM “E09” or “Generator Overload”.”
In this case high mA causes “E09” or “Generator Overload”.

1. Turn the Generator and Electrical Room Cabinet (Main Disconnect) OFF.

2. Remove the cover from the Generator Cabinet.

3. Wait for the DC Bus of the Inverter to be fully discharged. When it is fully discharged the LEDs
on the Charge-Discharge Monitor Board will be completely turned off.

MAKE SURE THAT THE MAIN STORAGE CAPACITORS OF THE HIGH

VOLTAGE INVERTER DO NOT CONTAIN ANY RESIDUAL CHARGE. WAIT
UNTIL THE LIGHT EMITTING DIODES ON THE CHARGE- DISCHARGE
MONITOR BOARDS ARE OFF, APPROXIMATELY THREE (3) MINUTES
AFTER THE UNIT IS TURNED OFF.

4. When LEDs are off make a jumper between DC-BUS+ and DC--BUS-- (use a wire AWG 22
(0.5 mm2) or higher). Make sure that there is less than 10 VDC across the BUS. (Refer to
Illustration 4-4 to see where to make the jumper.)

5. Measure with a Multimeter in Diode (or ohms) between C2E1 (positive polarity) and E2 or C1
(negative polarity) in both IGBTs (refer to Illustration 4-4 for more details). Repeat the measure
with different polarity between C2E1 (negative polarity) and E2 or C1 (positive polarity).

Voltage should be around 0.3 V (or the resistance must be a high impedance) for the IGBT to
be OK. Normally when an IGBT is broken the voltage is = 0 volts (or the resistance is zero [0]
Ohms) or very close.

6. Repeat the measurements done in step 5 for the other IGBT.

DON’T FORGET TO REMOVE THE JUMPER ACROSS THE DC BUS AFTER

ALL MEASUREMENTS ARE MADE, OTHERWISE THE INVERTER WILL
SUFFER SERIOUS DAMAGE.

7. If any of the IGBTs are short-circuited, replace the IGBT.

8. If both IGBTs are OK, remove both shielded cables that connect the Inverter to the HV
Transformer: P1, P3, and SHLD (P2). Isolate the three (3) wires completely from each other
and from the metal sheet or ground.

MAKE SURE THE WIRES ARE PERFECTLY ISOLATED AND THAT NO

SHORT-CIRCUIT IS MADE, OTHERWISE SERIOUS DAMAGES COULD
RESULT.

9. Set DIP switch 3000SW2--2 in the ON position at the HT Controller Board.

10. Turn the Room Electrical Cabinet (Mains Disconnect) and Generator ON.

11. Make an exposure:

G If “E09” or “Generator Overload” does not appear and the exposure has not been cut
before 80 ms, re--connect both shielded cables to the HV Transformer (P1, P2, and P3).
Follow Procedure C, “HV Transformer Test.”
G If “E09” or “Generator Overload” appears or the exposure has been cut before 80 ms,
replace the whole Inverter Module.

Note . At the end of an Exposure and right after releasing the Handswitch, error “E13” is
shown on the Console. This is normal. Reset and continue.

12. Turn the Electrical Room Cabinet (Main Disconnect) and generator OFF. Wait three (3) minutes
for the Main Storage Capacitors to discharge.

13. Set DIP switch 3000SW2-2 in the OFF position at the HT Controller Board. Re-connect both
shielded cables that connect the Inverter to the HV Transformer P1, P3, and SHLD (P2).

C. HV TRANSFORMER TEST

1. Make these connections with the Oscilloscope:

G CH.1 on + mA (TP14) on the HT Controller Board.
G CH.2 on - mA (TP13) on the HT Controller Board.
G Base Time in 10 ms per division and 1 V per division

2. Turn the mains and Generator ON. Set DIP switch 3000SW2-4 to the ON position at the HV
Controller Board.

3. Select 40 kVp, 10mA, and 80 ms. Make an exposure and check that both waveforms are almost
symmetric (a difference of 12% is normal).
G If it is OK, follow the procedure in step 4.
G If it is not OK, check:
-- that in the mA Test Point of the HV Transformer the jumper is correctly placed and
secure.
-- that connector J1 is correctly placed and secure in the HV Transformer.
-- continuity between J1-D and P4-7, J1-E and P4-6, J1-B and P4-2, and J1-C and
P4-1. Check that they are correctly connected and secure.
-- if after these actions the waveform is not OK, replace the HV Transformer.

4. Turn the Generator and Electrical Room Cabinet (Main Disconnect) OFF. Wait three (3)
minutes for the Main Storage Capacitors to discharge.

5. Remove the HV Cables from the HV Transformer (anode and cathode) and fill the HV
Receptacles with oil.

6. On the HT Controller Board, make a jumper FIL (TP8) and + 5 V (TP2).

7. Turn the Electrical Room Cabinet (Main Disconnect) and Generator ON.

8. Make these connections with the Oscilloscope:

G CH.1 on + kV (TP11) on the HT Controller Board.
G CH.2 on --kV (TP12) on the HT Controller Board.
G Base time in 10 msec. per division and 2 V per division.

9. Select 40 kVp, 10 mA, and 80 ms. Make an Exposure and check that both waveforms are
symmetric. A difference of 12% is normal.

Note . If error code “E15” appears after pressing PREP, reset the Error and select the
lowest mA for Large Focus. Repeat the exposure.

G If it is OK, follow procedure in step 10.

G If it is not OK, follow Procedure D, “Asymmetry on the kVp Loop.”

4-28
GE Healthcare Proteus XR/f Generator
REV 4 SM 5764770--1EN

10. Make exposures from 40 kVp to 150 kVp with the same Exposure Time and check that all kVp
waveforms are symmetric and the values are similar according the table below.

Select TP11 & TP12 on the HT Controller

50 kVp 2.1 V

70 kVp 2.9 V

90 kVp 3.7 V

110 kVp 4.5 V

130 kVp 5.3 V

150 kVp 6.1 V

11. If the waveforms are not symmetric (within 12% at any point), follow Procedure D, “Asymmetry
on the kVp Loop.”

12. If everything is OK, it means that HV Transformer is OK and the problem could be in the X--ray
Tube or in the HV Cables. In order to determine exactly what part must be replaced (the X--ray
Tube or the HV Cables) it is necessary to replace one of both components and perform the
procedure again. In most of the cases the part to be replaced usually is the X--ray Tube. To know
when the Tube begins to arc follow Procedure E, “X--ray Tube Test.”

13. Turn the Generator and Electrical Room Cabinet (Main Disconnect) OFF and wait three (3)
minutes for the Main Storage Capacitors to discharge. Set DIP switch 3000SW2--4 in the OFF
position at the HV Controller Board and remove the jumper between FIL (TP8) and + 5 V (TP2).

D. ASYMMETRY ON THE kVp LOOP

This procedure determines what part should be replaced due to asymmetry on the kVp Loop:
the High Voltage Transformer or the HT Controller Board.

1. Turn the generator and Electrical Room Cabinet (Main Disconnect) OFF and wait three (3)
minutes for the Main Storage Capacitors to discharge.

2. Set DIP Switch 3000SW2--2 to the “ON” position at the HV Controller Board.

3. Turn the Room Electrical Cabinet (Main Disconnect) and generator ON.

4. Make these connections with the Oscilloscope:

G CH.1 on +kV (TP11) on the HT Controller Board.
G CH.2 on kVp (TP16) on the HT Controller Board.

5. Apply +12VDC (P2--2) to +kV (P4--2) for 500 ms. This operation may cause Error “20” if the
voltage is applied for more than 500 ms; in this case turn the generator OFF and ON to reset
the error.

4-29
GE Healthcare Proteus XR/f Generator

6. Check the waveform’s result:

G If it is OK, follow the procedure in step 7.

G If it is not OK, replace the HT Controller Board. It is recommended to perform Procedure
C, “HV Transformer Test,” again.

7. Make these connections with the Oscilloscope:

G CH.1 on --kV (TP12) on HT the Controller Board.
G CH.2 on kVp (TP16) on HT the Controller Board.

8. Apply --12VDC (P2--1) to --kV (P4--1) for 500 ms. This operation may cause Error “20” if the
voltage is applied for more than 500 ms. In this case turn the generator OFF and ON to reset
the error.

9. Check the waveform’s result:

G If it is OK, replace the HV Transformer.

G If it is not OK, replace the HT Controller Board. It is recommended to perform Procedure
C, “HV Transformer Test,” again.

10. Turn the Generator and Electrical Room Cabinet (Main Disconnect) OFF and wait three (3)
minutes for the Main Storage Capacitors to discharge.

11. Set DIP Switch 3000SW2--2 in the OFF position at the HV Controller Board.

E. X-RAY TUBE TEST

After the performance of the above referred test everything is found OK, the Service (Field) Engineer
may want to know the actual status of the Tube. Perform the following procedure in order to
determine the point in which the X-ray Tube begins to arc.

It is strongly recommended to replace the Tube as soon as possible to

prevent potential damage to the Generator.

1. Select 40kVp, 10mA, and 100 ms.

2. Make an exposure.

3. Increment kVp in 10 kVp steps, select same mA and time. Make an exposure.
G If “E09” or “Generator Overload” appears follow Procedure C, “HV Transformer Test,” if
it has not been performed before. If Procedure C has been already performed follow the
procedure in step 4.
G If “E09” or “Generator Overload” does not appear, keep on incrementing the kVp in steps
of 10 kVp (up to the maximum kVp), making exposures at each kVp selected.
-- If “E09” or “Generator Overload” appears at any kVp selected it means that the Tube
has dielectric problems above the selected kVp.
-- If “E09” or “Generator Overload“ does not appear (up to maximum kVp), it means that
arcing may be due to mA or kW. Follow the procedure in step 4.

4. Select 40 kVp and 10 mA. Increment the mA one station and make an Exposure. Keep on
incrementing the mA station (making exposures) until “E09” or “Generator Overload” appears.
This will give an idea of the maximum mA allowed by the Tube without arcing. If “E09” or
“Generator Overload” does not appear follow step 5.

5. If the Tube still does not arc, the problem is related to kW = KV*mA. Make selections on the
Console at 100 ms incrementing kV and mA. A point will be reached in which “E09” or
“Generator Overload” will appear. This will give an idea on the approximate value of kVp and
mA that can be handled by the X--ray Tube. Also, this value may change when the Tube heats
up.

F. RANDOM “E09” OR “GENERATOR OVERLOAD”

If everything is OK and random “E09” or “Generator Overload” appears, check:

1. That the signal IGBT FAULT on Pin 3 of P5 on the HT Controller Board is not low (logic 0) in
stand--by and during the exposure. If there is noise, check for a loose connection between Pin
3 of P5 on HT Controller Board and Pin 4 of J2 in both IPM Driver Boards

2. If IGBT FAULT is active during an exposure, try to isolate when it occurs. It may be due to noise
coming from any device outside the Generator. Or it may occur when selecting a high power
Exposure and the voltage of the main line goes down more than 10%.

ERROR CODE : E12

DESCRIPTION : No mA during exposure or mA out of tolerance. Wrong filament current.

ERROR TYPE : Informative.
APPLICABLE TO : All Generators
APPEARS WHEN : After exposition.
INFORMATION / SYMPTOM : Error 12 appears after the Exposure to alert the operator that the mA at the start of the exposure has
not been correct. During the first 10 ms the Generator applies constant filament current to the Tube.
This current is proportional to the current already calibrated for that mA station at the kVp selected
for that Exposure (filament numbers). Near the end of these 10 ms, the HT Controller Board reads
the mA and if they are found to be 30% under or over what has been selected, it sends error “12” to
the Console.

POSSIBLE CAUSES
Calibration data for kVp and mA is not correct causing error E12.
The mA jumper on the HV Transformer is open, or it is not making good contact. The mA read at
the beginning of the exposure is 50% of the correct value (because one branch is open).
There is a problem on the reading of the mA.
No correct heating prior to the Exposure. The filament has not reached its correct temperature and
the mA at the start of the exposure is low. It usually occurs when the “Prep” and “Exp” buttons are
pressed down at the same time.
Making an exposure immediately after getting out of Calibration mode in Extended Memory.
+5 VDC , +12 VDC or --12 VDC Power Supplies of HT Control Board (measured at TP2, TP3 and
TP4 of this Board) have excessive ripple or VDC measured is not correct.

ACTIONS
1. Connect a Oscilloscope to the following Test Points on the HT Controller Board and check that
the voltage is correct. Adjust an incorrect voltage with the respective Potentiometer in the
Power Supply Board (refer to Section 2.1 -- Low DC Voltage Power Supply Test):
G TP2 (+5 VDC) on HT Control Board is adjusted with R12 Pot. in the Power Supply Board.
G TP3 (+12 VDC) on HT Control Board is adjusted with R26 Pot. in the Power Supply Board.
G TP4 (--12 VDC) on HT Control Board is adjusted with R25 Pot. in the Power Supply Board.

2. Check calibration data for the mA Open Loop (filament numbers) as described in the Service
Manual for all combinations of kVp and mA when this error appears.

With a Oscilloscope connected to Test Point TP5 (mA) on the HT Controller Board, check that
the mA reading is within a ratio of 1V=100 mA (± 5%) for software V2 and V3. For later versions
(V4 and up), the ratio is 1V=10mA from the min. mA to 80 mA and 1V=100mA from 100 mA
to maximum rating.

If it is not, the cause could be that the mA second test is not measuring correctly, or a wrong
measurement performed in the Generator. (Refer to step 3).

3. Check that the jumper in the mA Test Point of the HV Transformer is correctly placed and
secure.

4-35
GE Healthcare Proteus XR/f Generator
REV 4 SM 5764770--1EN

4. With a Oscilloscope check that during the entire Exposure signals on Test Points TP13 (--mA)
and TP14 (+mA) on the HT Control Board connectors are symmetrical (12%).
G If one is found missing or not symmetrical, measure on Pin 6 and 7 of J4 on the HT Control
Board.
G If they are symmetrical on both Points, the problem could be on the HT Control Board.
G If they are not correct, check that the connections made on the HV Transformer in J1-E,
D, K terminals are correctly connected and secure. Also check that the GND wire is
connected to GND stud.
G If connections are correct the problem is in the HV Transformer.

5. Connect an Oscilloscope to Test Point TP5 (mA) on the HT Controller Board.

Note . For the following test with a High Speed Generator, the self-running mode has not
been active. DIP switch 3243SW4--6 on the Control DRAC Board must be in the
“OFF” position (only High Speed Generator).

Check that:
G when the exposure is made by pressing first the PREP control and then the EXP control,
the mA reading at the beginning of exposure is correct.
G and when an exposure is made by pressing at the same time the PREP and EXP controls,
the mA reading at the beginning of exposure is low.

6. For Low Speed Generators:

G Reprogram the “Rotor Acceleration and Filament Setting Time” as stated in the Service
Manual (Configuration chapter) : one (1) step over the previously configured time (e.g.:
if it was 1.2 seconds, reprogram for 1.8 seconds) and check if boosting is correctly
configured.

If it is not correct, reprogram the “Rotor Acceleration and Filament Setting Time” one (1)
step over the previously configured time and test again.

7. For High Speed Generators:

G Reprogram the “RAD Filament Setting Time” as stated in the Service Manual
(Configuration chapter) : one (1) step over the previously configured time (e.g.: if the
Filament Setting Time programmed was 1.8 seconds, reprogram it for 2.7 seconds).

In order to verify that the problem has disappeared:

ERROR CODE : E13

DESCRIPTION : No kVp during exposure, kVp out of tolerance (±33%) or insufficient time parameters during
AEC operation.
ERROR TYPE : Informative. May abort exposition.
APPLICABLE TO : All Generators
APPEARS WHEN : During and after exposures.
INFORMATION / SYMPTOM : No kVp during exposure.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

Note . This error assumes that the fault is not due to arcing in the X-ray Tube.

Connection between the ATP Console CPU Board and HT Controller Board (--EXP signal)
Connection on the IPM Driver Boards
Faulty HT Controller
Faulty IPM Driver Board
Faulty IGBT
Open Serial Capacitor (5C9)
5V OUT during exposure
Power to IPM Drivers is not supplied from the Interface Control Board

ACTIONS
1. With an Oscilloscope, measure between TP-12 & TP-11 on the HT Controller. These signals
should be incomplete and/or irregular.

2. Assure that the power supply to the HT Controller Board and the two IPM Drivers are correct.

HT Controller: Schematic A3000-xx -- Check for 5V, --12VAC and +12VAC.

IPM Driver: Schematic A3063-06 -- Check for +24 VDC ±10 % (ROHS Generator) and check
for 5 V (both voltages are supplied from the Interface Control Board). 5V should be constant
(not presenting any variation), including during the entire Exposure.

3. Measure the pulses at P3-1 (KV DR1) and P3-2 (KV DR2) on the HT Controller. If these pulses
are not present during the Exposure, change the HT Controller. If they are present, proceed
to the next step.

The following procedures involve the IPM Driver Boards which are
connected to the IGBTs. This area has dangerous HIGH VOLTAGE and must
be treated with great care.

4-37
GE Healthcare Proteus XR/f Generator
REV 4 SM 5764770--1EN

4. Ensure that KV DR1 and KV DR2 reach the IPM Drivers at J1-1 & J1-2. If these signals are
not present at the connection points, revise the connection or cables. If these signals are
present, proceed to the next step.

5. Turn OFF the equipment. Dismount one of the IPM Drivers from the IGBT disconnecting the
terminals to IGBT side but keeping J1 & J2 connected.

Turn ON the equipment and ensure the power supply by measuring at J3-1 (+15 V OUTPUT
1) & J3-4 (GND 1), and by measuring at J4-1 (+15 V OUTPUT 2) & J4-4 (GND 2).

Turn OFF the equipment. If +15 V OUTPUT is not present, repair or replace if necessary.
Return the first IPM Driver to its original position connected to the IGBT. Then dismount the
second IPM Driver and repeat this step.

If +15 V OUTPUT is present in both IPM Drivers. proceed to the next step.

6. Turn OFF the equipment and wait a few moments for the equipment to fully discharge.
Remove the rear cover of the Generator Cabinet for accessing to Capacitor 5C9 located at the
back side of the HV Inverter. Check the Capacitor 5C9 as follows:
G by using a meter (e.g. Fluke 87) in “capacitor” mode
-- If Capacitor 5C9 is in good condition, the meter shows: “O.L μf (out of limit)” .
-- If Capacitor 5C9 is defective, the meter shows an abnormally low value (e.g: 0.19 μf).

G or, by using a meter in “ohms” mode

-- If Capacitor 5C9 is in good condition, the meter shows the resistance changing. If the
polarity of the probes is reversed, the meter shows a negative resistance.
-- If Capacitor 5C9 is defective, the meter shows a very high Impedance (1 MOhms)
or Open circuit.

If Capacitor 5C9 is defective, replace it. If not, proceed to the next step.

Capacitor 5C9

7. Refer to Schematic 543020xx for the connections between the HV Transformer and the IGBTs.
Measure the resistance (continuity) of the following cables from the IGBTs to the HV
Transformer, replacing or repairing where necessary:
G Capacitor 5C9 (Transformer side terminal) and P1 of the HV Transformer.
G C2E1 and P2

8. Disconnect P1 & P2 on the HV Transformer. Check that the resistance at P1 & P2 is low
(approximately 0.2 ). If the resistance is too high, replace the HV Transformer. If the
resistance is correct, proceed to the next step.

9. On the HT Controller Board, place SW2-2 to ON. Disconnect A2(B) +24V PSU (Faston
Terminal) at the 6K5 contactor (some are simply marked as K5).

10. Turn ON the equipment and verify that 6K5 does not activate and that there is NO TENSION
on the DC Bus (±300 VDC), Charge / Discharge Screws or Capacitor Bars.

Note . The following action requires the Inverter Module (L2), to which the
Charge/Discharge Boards are mounted, to be dismounted in order to gain access
to the IPM Driver Boards. Do not disconnect the Charge/Discharge Boards.

11. With an Oscilloscope at one of the IPM Driver boards, measure pulses between J3-4 (GND 1)
& J3-3 (CP1 KVDR1) and pulses between J4-4 (GND 2) & J4-3 (CN1 KVDR2). Repeat the
test on the other IPM Driver board. If the pulses are not present, replace the respective IPM
Driver Board.

DESCRIPTION : Exposure signal without X-ray Exposure Console command.

ERROR TYPE : Informative.
APPLICABLE TO : All Generators
APPEARS WHEN : During and after exposition.
INFORMATION / SYMPTOM : Exposure signal without X-ray Exposure Console command.

POSSIBLE CAUSES
The “Exp” signal is active on the HT Controller Board.

ACTIONS
1. Remove the connector J1 on HT Controller Board and check grounding of Pin 6 of P1.

2. If Pin 6 of P1 is grounded, replace the HT Controller Board.

3. If Pin 6 of P1 on the HT Controller Board is not grounded, then check grounding of Pin 6 of
Connector J1.

4. If it is grounded, remove the connector J3 on the ATP Console CPU Board and check grounding
of Pin 6 of Connector J1 again. If it is grounded, repair the wire short-circuit.

5. If it is not grounded, replace the ATP Console CPU Board.

Note . The resistance value between Pin 6 of P1 on HT Controller Board and Ground (with
all cables connected) should be around 900 Ω.

DESCRIPTION : Filament Driver Circuit Open, No current on Filament. Wrong selection of Focal Spot detected
during “Prep”.
ERROR TYPE : Informative. Does not allow “Prep”. Requires to be reset twice.
APPLICABLE TO : All Generators
APPEARS WHEN : At any moment.
INFORMATION / SYMPTOM : No current detected on Focal Spot (Filaments Off). After resetting the Error Code, the filament
driver will be shut off.

POSSIBLE CAUSES
Absence of --12 V Power Supply at the HT Controller
A There is no power supplied to the Filament Board
Poor connection at the Cathode HV Cable
Defective Filament Transformer inside the HV Transformer
B Wrong signal --FIL1 ACK

ACTIONS

Note . “E15” may be provoked by an absence of --12 V (power supply) to the HT Controller
at P2-1 or from the Low Voltage Power Supply (LVDC Power Supply 3PS1) at
3TS1-16. See schematics 543020xx and HT Controller 3000-xx for further
information.

Before Troubleshooting for the Possible Causes listed above, proceed with the
following steps.

1. Verify -12V from the Low Voltage Power Supply to the HT Controller, identifying and correcting
any possible short circuit. If -12V is present, Troubleshoot for the causes listed in the Possible
Causes section above (Causes A and B). It -12V is not present, proceed to the next step.

2. There is a possibility of a short circuit at the Ion Chamber connections. If the system has AEC
and doesn’t have an AEC Adaptation Board, proceed to the next step. If the system has an AEC
Adaptation Board, proceed to step 4.

3. It is likely that there is a short circuit in 3TS1, most probably at 3TS1-16.

4. Disconnect J1, J2, J3 & J5 at the AEC Adaptation Board that go to the Ion Chambers and test
for a short circuit in one of these aforementioned connections.

A. THERE IS NO SUPPLY TO THE FILAMENT BOARD, A POOR CONNECTION ON THE

CATHODE HV CABLE, A DEFECTIVE FILAMENT TRANSFORMER

1. Visual Check for Unplugged Connectors:

With the Generator turned OFF, first of all take a visual inspection at all the connectors in the
Front Panel of the Generator (HT Controller Board, Filament Driver Board, Interface Control
Board and the High Voltage Switch Control Board). It could have happened that by an accident
some connector has been unplugged when removing or placing the generator cover. Take a
close inspection because sometimes a connector is disconnected a little bit from one of the
sides but not totally disconnected from the connector of the board. Please take a close look
with a flash light.

2. X--Ray Tube Filaments Resistance Test:

With the Generator turned OFF, measure the Filaments of each Tube by disconnecting the
Cathode High Voltage Cable from the HV Transformer (Generator side)

There are three pins located at the male end of the Plug: “C” (Common), “L” (Large) and “S”
(Small). With an Ohm meter, measure between “C” and “S”. If the filaments are OK (not opened),
the reading should be close to zero Ohms. Also measure between “C” and “L” and between “L”
and “S”.

If there is an open circuit in any of the Tube filaments, measure the resistance on the Tube side.
Remove the Cable from the Tube and test the ohms in the female plug (Tube side) with an Ohm
meter that has sufficiently long probes.

3. Primary Filament Resistance Test (1):

With the Generator turned off, measure the resistance of the primary of the Filament
Transformer for the Small Focus by removing connector J1 on the HV Transformer and
measuring on the Connector of the HV Transformer between the pin marked G (FIL SUP) and
H (FIL 2 RTN). Also measure between G (FIL SUP) and F (FIL 1 RTN). These readings should
be about 5 ohms each primary.

4-42
GE Healthcare Proteus XR/f Generator
REV 4 SM 5764770--1EN

4. Primary Filament Resistance Test (2):

Reconnect J1 to the HV Transformer and ensure that it is securely connected and “locked” into
position by twisting the outside cover until a “click” is heard. Measure the Ohms between the
following points (Each one should read about 5 Ohms):
-- FIL 1 RTN (Large Focus) P3-4 on the Filament Driver Board and P4-15 on the
Interface Control Board.
-- FIL 2 RTN (Small Focus) P3-4 on the Filament Driver Board and P4-16 on the
Interface Control Board.
Move around the J1 cable that goes into the HV Transformer looking for a possible wrong
connection.

5. High Voltage Switch Connection:

a. If the primary resistance tests do not reveal the source of the error, remove the Cathode
High Voltage Cable from the HV Transformer.
b. Set dipswitch “SW2--2” of the HT Controller Board in “ON” position to turn OFF the
Filament Circuit (No Error 15) .
c. Turn the Generator “ON” and select “Tube 1” (or “Tube 2”).
d. Measure with an Ohm Meter the pins inside the HV Transformer receptacle for “Tube 1”
. For this, use long probes to be able to access to the pins of the “Female” High Voltage
Connector of the HV Transformer. Measure between Common (this is the pin in line with

the “Nipple”) and Small (it is the pin to the left). Measure also between Common and Large
(it is the pin to the right) . The resistance should be around 0.5 Ohms for each Filament.
e. Select “Tube 2”, if it is present, and repeat the measurement done in step-d. for “Tube 2”.

6. Once the test is finished, reconnect the Cathode HV cable for “Tube 1” in its position of the HV
Transformer (it is marked in the Cable and in the HV Transformer). Clean the cable with a piece
of clean dry paper before placing it inside the HV Transformer. Make sure you tighten the big
washer of the HV Cable into the HV Transformer.

7. Repeat the previous step for “Tube 2”.

8. Set dipswitch “SW2--2” of the HT Controller Board in “OFF” position to turn ON the Filament
Circuit.

DESCRIPTION : Rotor error or Rotor running without order (only with Low Speed Starter).
ERROR TYPE : Fatal Error when the Rotor is running without order. Exposure is not allowed.
Informative Error when the Rotor is not running while “Prep” is active. Exposure is not allowed.
APPLICABLE TO : All Generators.
APPEARS WHEN : At any moment.
INFORMATION / SYMPTOM : The X-ray Tube is not detected to be rotating while “Prep” is active, then exposure is inhibited.
For Generators with Low Speed Starter, it can be due to the X-ray Tube anode is rotating
without a command from the Console.

POSSIBLE CAUSES
For all Generators:
“--PREP” signal is not going low in the HT Controller Board when “Prep” is pressed.

Only for Generators with High Speed Starter:

HT Controller Board is not receiving the “RTR Ready” signal back from the Control DRAC Board.

Only for Generators with Low Speed Starter:

“–RTR” signal on HT Controller Board is active.
Defective relay K1 (solid State) on the low speed module.
12 VDC power supply missing on the HT Controller Board.
Defective Low Speed Control or HT Controller Boards.

ACTIONS

A. PREVIOUS CHECK FOR ALL GENERATORS (LOW OR HIGH SPEED STARTER)

Check that the “--PREP” signal is going low in the HT Controller Board when “Prep” is active.
 “--PREP” signal can be measured in connector P1--3 of the HT Controller Board or by looking
at the LED DS2 in the HT Controller Board (it must be ON when “Prep” is active).
 If not, check the communication cable (J3) between the ATP console CPU Board and the
Generator connector 6J3 and then to the HT Controller Board (P1--3). Make sure it is properly
connected and that all the pins are well inserted on both sides (especially 6J3--4 on both sides).
G If there is not signal continuity between the ATP Console CPU Board (J3--4) and the HT
Controller Board (P1--3), repair or replace the communication cable.
G If the “--PREP” signal is going low and there is signal continuity between the ATP Console
CPU Board (J3--4) and the HT Controller Board (P1--3) and LED DS2 in the HT Controller
Board is OFF when “Prep” is active, replace the ATP Console CPU Board.
G If the “--PREP” signal is going low and there is signal continuity between the ATP Console
CPU Board (J3--4) and the HT Controller Board (P1--3) and LED DS2 in the HT Controller
Board is ON when “Prep” is active, perform procedure B for Generators with High Speed
Starter or procedure C for Generators with Low Speed Starter.

GE Healthcare Proteus XR/f Generator
REV 4 SM 5764770--1EN

B. ONLY FOR GENERATORS WITH HIGH SPEED STARTER (LV-DRAC)

In “Prep” (the Rotor is not running while “Prep” is active)
“Rotor Error” means that the ATP Console CPU Board is not receiving the “Ready” communication
signal back from the HT Controller Board. This could be also because the HT Controller Board is
not receiving the “Ready” (--RTR RDY) signal from the High Speed Starter (LV-DRAC).
1. Perform the Programming of the High Speed Starter and RAD Filament Setting Time as
explained in the Configuration Chapter of the Generator Service Manual. Perform the following
sequence:
G Turn OFF the Generator and take note of the setting of Dipswitch 3000SW2 on the HT
Controller Board.
G Set all Dipswitch positions to OFF.
G Set Dipswitch of positions 1, 2, 5 and 7 to ON (position 2 to ON informs to the HT Controller
Board that it has a LV-DRAC connected).
G Turn ON the Generator and wait of E01. If E01 is not displayed leave the Generator for
1 minute and then proceed to turn it off.
G Set all Dipswitch positions as they were originally.
2. If after this, the “Rotor Error” is still present check that the “--RTR RUN” signal is going low in
the Control DRAC Board by measuring J4--20 in the Control DRAC Board when “Prep” is
active. Normally, if this signal is received by the Control DRAC Board a noise can be heard on
the LV-DRAC Transformers because the starter is trying to start the Tube.
G If there is no signal, check the signal continuity between the HT Controller Board (P5--5),
connector 6J1 of the Generator Cabinet (6J1--1) and Control DRAC Board (J4--20). If the
continuity is correct but there is no signal in the Control DRAC Board (J4--20), replace the
HT Controller Board.
G If this signal is arriving to the Control DRAC Board then most probably is that the LV-DRAC
(High Speed Starter) is accelerating the Tube and therefore the “--RTR RDY” signal is not
being received in the HT Controller Board.
-- Measure the signal “--RTR RDY” (active--low) in J4--4 of the Control DRAC Board.
Also the LED DL3 must be ON on the Control DRAC Board. If either is not correct:
-- Set Dipswitches for “Minimum Time for Ready (Delay)” on the Control DRAC
Board are set for “0” seconds (Dipswitches 3243SW1--1, SW1--2 and SW1--3 in ON
position).
-- Check the voltage at the following Test Points on the Control DRAC Board:
+5 VDC at TP14, +15 VDC at TP15, --15 VDC at TP37, using for GND reference the
following Test Points on the Control DRAC Board: TP2, TP4, TP12, TP13, or TP19.
If they are correct, replace the Control DRAC Board.
-- If voltages at the above points are not correct, turn the generator OFF and
wait three (3) minutes for the Main Storage Capacitors to discharge. Remove the
Ribbon Cable from Connector J3 at the Control DRAC Board. Turn the generator ON.

Check the voltage at the following points on the Interface DRAC Board:
+5 VDC at Anode of diode CR6,
+15 VDC at Anode of diode CR5 or at Cathode of diode CR6,
--15 VDC at Cathode of diode CR7.
For GND reference use the Terminal J2--3 on the Interface DRAC Board.

If voltages at the above points are correct, replace the Control DRAC Board.

If any voltage at the above points are not correct, verify at the Interface DRAC
Board that there is 220 VAC between J3--1 and J3--2, and fuse F1 and F2
are correct, if 220 VAC is present and the fuses are correct replace the
Interface DRAC Board.
-- If the signal “--RTR RDY” (active--low) in J4--4 of the Control DRAC Board is correct
and the LED DL3 is ON on the Control DRAC Board, check the signal continuity
between the Control DRAC Board (J4--4), connector 6J1 of the Generator Cabinet
(6J1--5) and HT Controller Board (P5--4). If the continuity is correct but there is no
signal in the HT Controller Board (P5--4), replace the HT Controller Board.

Connect all the wires / cables removed during the procedure back to the
original connections.

INFORMATION / SYMPTOM : Serial Communication Error.

POSSIBLE CAUSES
Connecting cable between Console and Generator is loose or damaged.
ATP Console CPU Board, or Operator Console, or Serial Port of the PC is damaged.
The Generator is turned OFF and PC is ON.

ACTIONS
This error means that there is NO serial communication (RS232) between the ATP Console CPU
Board and the Operator Console or PC (depends on the installation).

Note . The ATP Console CPU Board (for serial communication) is located at the back side
of the Front Panel the Generator cabinet.

1. Check the connection cable between connector J8 (or J7 depends on the Generator
configuration) from the ATP Console CPU Board to connector J5 of the Generator cabinet.
Then check the serial communication cable and connections from J5 to the Operator Console
or to the ON/OFF Interface Box (when a PC is used). (Refer to schematics 54301052 and
A6188--03 of the Installation chapter in the Service Manual).

2. In order to isolate the problem, turn the Generator ON and measure if any of the following
voltages are present in order to know if the Generator is really turned ON.
G 240 VAC SW: between 3TS1--26 and 3TS1--10.
G 115 VAC SW: between 3TS1--27 and 3TS1--10.
G Relay 3K3 (located on the front door of the generator) is energized.
G LED DS1 in the Interface Control Board is ON.

3. If the Generator is turned ON, check the following points:

a. 12 VDC UNR: In the ATP Console CPU Board between TP9 and TP11.

If 12 VDC UNR is not present in the ATP Console CPU Board, check Fuse 3F7. If Fuse
3F7 is OK, check the presence of 11 VAC at the input of Rectifier 3BR4.
-- If 11VAC is not present, check for 11 VAC between terminals 11 and 12 of
Transformer 6T2 and check Relay 3K3 works properly.
-- If 11 VAC is present at the input of Rectifier 3BR4, check for 12 VDC UNR measuring
in Capacitor 3C7. If 12 VDC UNR is not present, replace the Rectifier 3BR4. If
12 VDC UNR is present, check the wire connections.

for:
-- 12 VDC ISO: In the ATP Console CPU Board between TP10 and TP1.
-- 5 VDC of the ATP: In the ATP Console CPU Board between TP3 and TP1.
-- DS1 of the ATP Console CPU Board (normally ON).

If any of the voltages is not present or correct, or if LED DS1 is OFF, replace the ATP
Console CPU Board.

c. If previous steps are correct, the problem is isolated in the RS232 connection between
the ATP Console CPU Board and the Operator Console or PC (depends on the
installation).

Check the Serial Port on the PC and if possible the RxD and TxD signal between the ATP
Console CPU Board and the PC. (Refer to schematics 54301052 and A6188--03 of the
Installation chapter in the Service Manual). Replace any defective part found.

To check the Serial Communication using an Oscilloscope measure the following signal:
-- On the ATP Console CPU Board, measure and check that there is a wave form on
the connector J8--3, if some RS232 signal is present that means the ATP Console
CPU Board is sending some information to the Operator Console, in case that no
signal is present on this pin replace the ATP Console CPU Board.
-- On the ATP Console CPU Board, measure and check that there is a wave form on
the connector J8--2, if some RS232 signal is present that means the ATP Console
CPU Board is receiving some information from the Operator Console, in case that
no signal is present check the following points:

-- For Push-button Console, check that all VDC are present on the Operator Console
and all internal connections are secure inside the Console.

-- For Touch Screen Console, check that all internal connections are secure inside
the Console.

-- If after the previous checking the wave form is present on the connector J8--2 but
the “E33” Error Code persists, then replace the ATP Console CPU Board.

ERROR CODE : E66

DESCRIPTION : LV--DRAC: Excessive current in the main winding running at 3300 RPM
ERROR TYPE : Indicative. Exposure is not allowed.
APPLICABLE TO : Generators with High Speed Starter.
APPEARS WHEN : During Anode acceleration at Low Speed.
INFORMATION / SYMPTOM : Error Code “E66” is displayed and it is not possible to make exposures.

POSSIBLE CAUSES
Excessive current in the main winding running at 3300 RPM is detected.
During the acceleration time the Contactor 11K2 remains OFF. Once the acceleration time has been
completed the Contactor 11K2 must be energized to apply to the Stator a lower voltage (running
voltage). This is the step where the errors are appearing (excessive current in running mode). For
any reason, Contactor 11K2 is not energized so that the voltage applied to the Stator is higher than
should be and this is causing the excessive current.
Defective: cable connections, or Contactor 11K2, or Control DRAC Board, or Stator Cable, or Tube
Stator.

ACTIONS

All the wires / cables removed during the procedure have to be isolated to
avoid contact with any other wire or ground.

1. Verify the Generator is turned OFF.

2. Check that the DIP switches on the Control DRAC Board are set in the correct position. (Refer
to the LV -DRAC Documentation in this Service Manual, especially check that DIP-switches
3243SW3--5 and 3243SW4--5 are in the correct position according to the Tube Family
Selection.)

3. Check each wire connection of the Stator Cable on the Tube side and on 11TS2 on the
LV--DRAC Module are correct and secured (good contact), connect properly, and tighten each
wire if necessary. Check if the error has been corrected. If not, go to the next step.

5. Check for correct isolation between the connections for the Main winding and Auxiliary winding
in 11TS2 on the LV--DRAC Module. Measure the impedance between Main and Ground,
Auxiliary and Ground, Common and Ground; in all cases it must be high impedance
(mega--ohms).
G If the impedance is OK, go to the next step.
G If the impedance is not correct, it can be due to:
-- a wrong connection of the Stator Cable on the Tube side or on the Generator side.
Check the connection of the Stator Cable and connect it properly if necessary.
-- or the Stator Cable is short--circuited, then disconnect the Stator Cable on the Tube
side and measure impedance in the Tube. If the problem persists replace the X--ray
Tube.

6. Turn the Generator ON.

7. Check that the Contactor 11K2 is energized few moments after the “Prep” order.
G If it is OK, check if Contactor 11K2 is providing a good contact, if needed replace Contactor
11K2.
G If Contactor 11K2 is not energized, check +24 VDC at the coil of 11K2 (between A1 and
A2).

Note . The voltage must be verified when the Contactor is supposed to be ON (after the
acceleration time)

-- If the voltage is OK, check the coil of the Contactor by an ohmmeter. It must be around
160 Ohms. If it is not correct replace the Contactor.
-- If the voltage is not present, check 24 VDC (Delayed) between A1 of Contactor 11K2
and ground (this voltage must be present at any time).
-- If 24 VDC is not present between A1 of Contactor 11K2 and ground, check
continuity between the Interface Control Board (J5--2) and A1 of Contactor
11K2, checking it also in the aerial connector 11J7--1. Repair defective
connections..
-- If 24 VDC is present between A1 of Contactor 11K2 and ground, check the
link between A2 of Contactor 11K2 and J4--2 of the Interface DRAC Board.

If the link is not correct, repair or replace it.

If the link is correct, check low logic level at the cathode of CR13 when
Contactor 11K2 is supposed to be ON. If the low level is present check the
diode CR13, and if diode CR13 is defective replace this diode or the
Interface DRAC Board. Check also the flat cable between Interface DRAC
Board (J1) and Control DRAC Board, if the flat cable is not correct, replace
this cable.

If the flat cable is correct but you have +24 VDC between cathode of CR13
and ground, replace the Control DRAC Board.

ERROR CODE : E71

DESCRIPTION : LV--DRAC: Excessive current in the auxiliary winding running at 10000 RPM
ERROR TYPE : Indicative. Exposure is not allowed.
APPLICABLE TO : All Generators with High Speed Starter.
APPEARS WHEN : During Anode acceleration at High Speed.
INFORMATION / SYMPTOM : Error Code “E71” is displayed and it is not possible to make Exposures.

POSSIBLE CAUSES
Excessive current in the auxiliary winding running at 10000 RPM is detected.
During the acceleration time the Contactor 11K2 remains OFF. Once the acceleration time has been
completed the Contactor 11K2 must be energized to apply to the Stator a lower voltage (running
voltage). This is the step where the errors are appearing (excessive current in running mode). For
any reason, Contactor 11K2 is not energized so that the voltage applied to the Stator is higher than
should be and this is causing the excessive current.
Defective: cable connections, or Contactor 11K2, or Control DRAC Board, or Stator Cable, or Tube
Stator.

ACTIONS

All the wires / cables removed during the procedure have to be isolated to
avoid contact with any other wire or ground.

1. Verify the Generator is turned OFF.

2. Check that the DIP switches on the Control DRAC Board are set in the correct position. (Refer
to the LV -DRAC Documentation in this Service Manual, especially check that DIP-switches

SECTION 1 JOB CARDS FOR ADJUSTMENT /

REPLACEMENT PROCEDURES

Whenever the HV Transformer, X-ray Tube, ATP Console CPU

Board, HT Controller Board, or Filament Control Board is
replaced in the Generator, the respective Configuration and
Calibration procedures must be performed.

If the HT Controller Board or the ATP Console CPU Board are

replaced, check that the Extended Memory data have not
been lost or modified with the Board change. Compare
Extended Memory data displayed on the Console with the
values noted in the Data Book.

Revision of Boards should be checked, the new Board must

be compatible with the replaced one, that is, the same o
higher revision than the replaced Board. The EEPROM
information has to match the Generator options.

If the HT Controller Board is replaced in the Power Module,

transfer U3-EEPROM from the old Board to the new Board.
U3-EEPROM contains calibration data.

If U3-EEPROM is not transferred, a complete Calibration must

be performed.

Make various exposures, using different techniques and

Focal Spots, to verify that mA stations are calibrated
correctly. If they are not, perform Calibration procedures.

Update and record in the Data Book any new data entered in
the Extended Memory Locations.

Use the Anti-static Protection Device for handling when

replacing any board or electronic part.

5-3
GE Healthcare Proteus XR/f Generator
REV 4 SM 5764770--1EN

MAKE SURE THAT THE MAIN STORAGE CAPACITORS OF

THE HIGH VOLTAGE INVERTER DO NOT CONTAIN ANY
RESIDUAL CHARGE. WAIT UNTIL THE LIGHT EMITTING
DIODES (LEDS) ON THE CHARGE-DISCHARGE MONITOR
BOARDS ARE OFF (APPROXIMATELY THREE (3) MINUTES
AFTER THE UNIT IS TURNED OFF).

TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT TOUCH ANY

HEATSINK OF THE CIRCUIT BOARDS EVEN WITH THE
GENERATOR TURNED OFF. PREVIOUS TO DISASSEMBLE
ANY BOARD, REMOVE ALL CONNECTORS PLUGGED TO IT.

BEFORE REPLACING ANY PART BE SURE THAT THE

GENERATOR AND THE ELECTRICAL ROOM CABINET (MAIN
DISCONNECT) ARE POWERED OFF.

PERFORM A LOTO PROCEDURE.

DO NOT SUPPLY THE MAIN POWER FROM THE ELECTRICAL

ROOM CABINET (MAIN DISCONNECT) OR TURN ON THE
SYSTEM UNTIL SPECIFICALLY INSTRUCTED IN THIS
DOCUMENT.

ALWAYS HAVE THE “IPM DRIVER BOARD” CONNECTED IN

THE GENERATOR PREVIOUS TO ACTIVATING MAINS
POWER. IF THE “IPM DRIVER BOARD” IS NOT CONNECTED,
IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE WILL OCCUR TO THE IGBTS.

THIS GENERATOR IS PERMANENTLY CONNECTED TO THE

POWER LINE AND POWERED ON UNLESS THE SAFETY
SWITCH INSTALLED IN THE ROOM ELECTRICAL CABINET
IS OFF. WHEN THE GENERATOR IS POWERED ON, THE
NEON LAMP (GREEN) LOCATED ON THE TRANSFORMER
6T2 (GENERATOR CABINET) IS ON.

INTERNAL PARTS OF THE GENERATOR (ALL FUSES, LINE

CONTACTOR (6K5), INPUT TRANSFORMER (6T2), ON/OFF
RELAY (3K3) AND LF-RAC MODULE) RECEIVE
CONTINUOUS POWER THROUGH THE POWER LINE
ALTHOUGH THE CONTROL CONSOLE IS OFF. BE SURE
THAT THE SAFETY SWITCH IS OFF BEFORE HANDLING ANY
INTERNAL PART OF THE EQUIPMENT.

PROCEDURE

1 SCOPE / OVERVIEW

This procedure provides the calibration steps to achieve proper AEC

performance for Proteus XR/f Radiographic System, in order to achieve the
correct image at the lowest possible dose.

The term “Optimum Gray Level” refers to some measurement criteria and may
be either:

 a measured exposure in μGray, or

 a system calculation called EI (Exposure Index), or

 a system calculation called S-Value.

This procedure will use the EI measurement method because of variations in

back-scatter characteristics, detector conversion factor, and detector
sensitivity. The EI value is calculated within a 4 cm x 4 cm ROI (Region of
Interest), and should be checked using a raw image. Raw images must be
acquired with the “S-Value” exam tag (in the QC group). An exposure of 1 μGray
will produce an equivalent of 102 to 110 EI.

5-75
GE Healthcare Proteus XR/f Generator
REV 4 SM 5764770--1EN

AEC performance is controlled by a hardware gain potentiometer in the

Pre-Amplifier of the Ion Chamber and several software parameters stored in the
Generator (Extended Memory Locations).

The following table indicates the Extended Memory Locations related to AEC
Calibration.

FUNCTION MEMORY LOCATION

AEC-1 CALIBRATION E04

AEC-1 TRACKING E08

AEC-2 CALIBRATION E09

AEC-2 TRACKING E10

AEC DENSITY SCALE E12

AEC Calibration is carried out using a specified test setup and a Homogeneous
Aluminum Phantom (21 mm thickness, 99% purity) installed in the Collimator
guides, to produce a testing exposure time between 50 ms and 300 ms.

The radiation signal detected by the sensors (also known as Ion Chambers) is
stepped up by an adjustable gain amplifier. Its output is passed to an AEC
control circuit with a comparator stage, which activates the AEC Stop command
when the signal exceeds the reference.

Therefore, the AEC Stop depends on the Signal (kV, mA, SID, Phantom, and
Gain Pot) compared to the Software Parameters.

The AEC calibration procedure is carried out in 3 parts:

 The 1st part is to adjust the Optimum Gray Level at 70 kV.

 The 2nd part is to adjust kV-Tracking for the same Optimum Gray Level
at 55 kV and 90 kV
(¦ 20%).

 The 3rd part is to fine-tune and validate the AEC performance using the
imaging sub-system.
