SECTION 5 EQUIPMENT SAFETY -- ELECTROSTATIC


DISCHARGE (ESD)

A sudden discharge of static electricity from your finger or other conductor can
destroy static-sensitive devices or microcircuitry. 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. While the device can function normally for a while
it has been degraded in the internal layers and its life expectancy reduced.

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.

5.1 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.

1-13
GE Healthcare Definium 5000 Generator Manual
REV 4 5192971--100

• 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.

5.2 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.

Metallized laminate 15,000

1-14
GE Healthcare Definium 5000 Generator Manual
REV 4 5192971--100

5.3 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.

5.4 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--dissipative 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 1 INTRODUCTION

The generator contains many self-diagnostic routines which greatly facilitate


troubleshooting. Self-diagnostic functions require that all microprocessors
function correctly. Each microprocessor contains LEDs that indicate its 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.

On arrival in 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 it is not, try to reproduce the failure in the conditions reported by


the operator. It is possible that the Error Code displayed is different
from that indicated by the operator. In all cases, run the
troubleshooting routines for the last Error Code displayed.

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. Refer to
Section 4, “Disassembly / Reassembly,” in this chapter for

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.

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.

POSIBLE 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.

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 5 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 5 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.

REV 4 5192971--100

7. If any of the IGBTs are short-circuited, replace the IGBT. (Refer to Job Card DR--16.)
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,
change the whole Inverter Module. (Refer to Job Card DR--10.)

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. (Refer to
Job Card DR--20.)
4. Turn the Generator and Electrical Room Cabinet (Main Disconnect) OFF. Wait three (3)
minutes for the Main Storage Capacitors to discharge.

3-21
GE Healthcare Definium 5000 Generator Manual
REV 4 5192971--100

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.”

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).

REV 4 5192971--100

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.
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. (Refer to Job Card DR--6.) 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.

3-23
GE Healthcare Definium 5000 Generator Manual
REV 4 5192971--100

9. Check the waveform’s result:

G If it is OK, replace the HV Transformer. (Refer to Job Card DR--20.)


G If it is not OK, replace the HT Controller Board. (Refer to Job Card DR--6.) 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.

REV 4 5192971--100

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%.

GE Healthcare Definium 5000 Generator Manual
REV 4 5192971--100

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.

POSIBLE 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 the HT Control Board (measured at TP2, TP3,
and TP4 of this Board) have excesive ripple or VDC measured is not correct.

1. Connect a scope to the following Test Points on the HT Control Board and check that the
voltage is correct. If not, adjust it with the respective Potentiometer in the Power Supply Board
(refer to Section 2.1, “Low DC Voltage Power Supply Test”):

TP2 (+5 VDC) on the HT Control Board is adjusted with R12 Pot. in the Power Supply Board.
TP3 (+12 VDC) on the HT Control Board is adjusted with R26 Pot. in the Power Supply Board.
TP4 (--12 VDC) on the 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 stated in the Service
Manual for all combinations of kVp and mA when this error appears.

With a scope connected to the Test Point TP5 (mA) on the HT Control Board check that the
mA read is within the ratio of 1V=100 mA (± 5%) for V2 and V3 software versions, for V4 and
up the ratio is 1V=10mA from minimum mA to 80 mA and 1V=100mA from 100 mA to the
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.

3-29
GE Healthcare Definium 5000 Generator Manual
REV 4 5192971--100

4. With an Oscilloscope check that during the entire Exposure signals on Test Points TP13 (--mA)
and TP14 (+mA) on the HT Controller Board connectors are symmetrical (12%).
G If one (1) is found missing or not symmetrical, measure on Pin 6 and 7 of J4 on the HT
Controller Board.
-- If they are symmetrical on both Points, the problem could be on the HT Controller
Board.
-- 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 the GND stud. 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, the self--running mode has not been active. DIP switch
3243SW4--6 on the Control DRAC Board must be in the “OFF” position (High
Speed Generators).

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.
In this case, reprogram the “RAD Filament Setting Time” one (1) step over the previously
configured time (i.e., if the Filament Setting Time programmed was 1.8 seconds, reprogram it
for 2.7 seconds). (Refer to Section 5.2.2, “Programming of RAD Filament Setting Time” of
Chapter 4, “Configuration and Calibration.”)
In order to verify that the problem has disappeared:
G select the highest mA station for Small Focus and the lowest kVp allowed for this mA
station. Make an Exposure by pressing at the same time the PREP and EXP controls;
check that the mA reading at the beginning of the Exposure is correct.
G select the highest mA station for Large Focus and the lowest kVp allowed for this mA
station. Make an Exposure by pressing at the same time the PREP and EXP controls;
check that the mA reading at the beginning of the Exposure is correct.
If it is not correct, reprogram the “RAD Filament Setting Time” one (1) step over the previously
configured time and test again.

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.

POSIBLE CAUSES

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

Faulty HT Controller Connection between the ATP Console CPU Board and
HT Controller Board (--EXP signal)
Connection between HT Controller Connection on the IPM Driver Boards
and IPM Driver Boards
Faulty IPM Driver Board Open Serial Capacitor (5C9)
5V OUT during exposure Faulty HV Transformer
115 VAC Faulty IGBT

Note . Ensure that Dipswitches SW3 on the ATP Console CPU Board (A3024-xx) are all
set to the OFF position.

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-xx -- Check for 115 VAC ±10 % (supplied from the Interface Control
Board) and 5V. 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, 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.

3-31
GE Healthcare Definium 5000 Generator Manual
REV 4 5192971--100

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 disconnect J2 from one of the IPM Drivers and then measure the resistance
between J2-1 & J2-2. This reading should be approximately 175 Ω. Replace the IPM Driver board if
necessary. Repeat this step for the other IPM Driver board. If both boards present a correct resistance,
proceed to the next step.

6. Dismount an IPM Driver leaving J1 & J2 connected. Turn ON the equipment and ensure the power supply
by measuring at J3/J5-1 (+15 V OUTPUT 1) & J3/J5-4 (GND 1). Turn OFF the equipment and dismount
the second IPM Driver. Turn ON the equipment and repeat the test at J4/J6-1 (+15 V OUTPUT 2) &
J4/J6-4 (GND 2). Repair or replace if necessary. If +15 V OUTPUT is present, return the IPM Drivers to
their original position and proceed to the next step.

7. If a digitalmenter to test Capacitors is available, check Capacitor 5C9. If the Capacitor functions correctly,
proceed to the next step.

If this digitalmeter is unavailable or the Capacitor does not charge, short-circuit the terminals of the
Capacitor and make an exposure with mA and kV parameters as low as possible (ex: 10 kV & 40 ms).
If Error 13 does not appear during the exposure, replace Capacitor 5C9. If the Error persists, proceed
to the next step.

8. Refer to Schematic 54302010 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:

Capacitor 5C9 (Transformer side terminal) and P1 of the HV Transformer


C2E1 and P2

9. Disconnect P1 & P2 on the HV Transformer. Check that the resistance at P1 & P2 is low (approximately
0.2 Ω). If the resistance is too high, replace the HV Transformer (refer to Job Card DR--20.). If the
resistance is correct, proceed to the next step.

10. Turn OFF the equipment and wait a few moments for the equipment to fully discharge. 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).

11. 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.

12. With an Oscilloscope at one of the IPM Driver boards, measure pulses between J3/J5-4 (GND 1) &
J3/J5-3 (CP1 KVDR1). Repeat the test with the other board at J4/J6-4 (GND 2) & J4/J6-3 (CP1 KVDR2).
Change the IPM Driver if the pulses are not present (refer to Job Card DR--15.)

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.

POSIBLE CAUSES
The Exp signal is grounding on the HT Controller Board.

1. Remove the connector J1 on the HT Controller Board and check the grounding of Pin 6 of P1.
2. If so, replace the HT Controller Board. (Refer to Job Card DR--6.)
3. If it is not, remove the connector J3 on the Console, and check Pin 1 on connector J3 on the
Generator Cabinet.
4. If GND, replace the communication cable at J3. If not, replace the ATP Console Board. (Refer
to Job Card DR--4.)

ERROR CODE : E15

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.

POSIBLE 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

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 54302010 and HT Controller 3000-33 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 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 OR A DEFECTIVE HV
SWITCH.

1. Visual Check for Unplugged Connectors:

The visual inspection should include all the connectors located at the front door of the
Generator such as the HT Controller, Filament Driver, Interface Control, and High Voltage
Switch Control. Ensure that all connection points are secure.

3-34
GE Healthcare Definium 5000 Generator Manual
REV 4 5192971--100

2. X--Ray Tube Small Filament Resistance Test:


With the Generator turned OFF, measure the Small Filament of the tube by disconnecting the
Cathode High Voltage Cable (shown below) 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 closed and functioning
normally, the reading should be close to zero Ohms. It is also recommended to check between
C and L and 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, remove connector J1 on the HV Transformer and measure on
the Connector of the HV Transformer between the pin marked G (FIL SUP) and H (FIL RTN).
As an added security, test between G (FIL SUP) and F (FIL 1 RTN). These readings should
be about 5 ohms each.

Plug Cable

Nipple

L s

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 1 RTN (Small Focus) P3-4 on the Filament Driver Board and P5-16 on the
Interface Control Board
5. High Voltage Switch Connection:
If the primary resistance tests do not reveal the source of the error, remove the Cathode High
Voltage Cable from the HV Transformer. Set position 2 of dipswitch “SW2” in the HT Controller
to “ON”. Setting “SW2” to “ON” will turn OFF the Filament Circuit.
Turn the Generator “ON” .
Test the female pins inside of the HV Transformer, measuring the corresponding pins between
C and S, and again for C and L. These readings should be about 0.5 Ohms for each filament.
6. Check through the X-ray tube window to see if the selected filament is On. Check both circuits
to detect which one is causing the error code.
7. If none lit when selected, check in the DC output on the BR1 rectifier (324 Dc approx.) or input
voltage (220 VAC approx.). If input voltage is OK and output voltage is not OK, replace rectifier.
(Refer to Job Card DR--12). If it is OK go to step 3.
8. Check if the Leds DS1 and DS2 are lit ON in the Filament Board. If they are not, replace the
Board. (Refer to Job Card DR--7.)
9. If everything is OK, check DC voltage between P2-4 and P2-1 (324 DC approx.). If not enough
voltage detected, review circuit between BR1 and T2 transformer. Replace Filament Board if
defective. (Refer to Job Card DR--7.)
10. If it is OK, check the AC voltage between Pin 4 on connector P3 (on Filament Board Fil. Sup.)
and Pins 15 or 16 (depends on filament selection) on connector P4 on Interface Control Board.
The range should be between 90 and 200 VAC.

3-35
GE Healthcare Definium 5000 Generator Manual
REV 4 5192971--100

11. If not, check the voltage on Pin 17 of connector P4 at Interface Control Board and Pin 4 of
connector P3 at Filament Board, also Check P14 of connector P4. If no voltage present, replace
the Interface Control Board. (Refer to Job Card DR--8.)
12. If it is OK, check continuity between HV Transformer connector and Interface Board.
13. If it is OK, check continuity of HV Cable connector (between common C and S (Small Focus)
and between common C and L (Large focus). The OHM value should be very low in both cases
(0.01 approx.)
14. If it is OK, replace the HV Transformer. (Refer to Job Card DR--20). If it is not OK, check all
connections from HV Cable to the tube. Replace cable if necessary.
15. If HV Cable is OK, check tube filaments. Replace Tube if necessary.

“--PREP” signal is not going low in the HT Controller Board when “Prep” is pressed.
HT Controller Board is not receiving the “RTR Ready” signal back from the Control DRAC Board.

A. PREVIOUS CHECK
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. (Refer to Job
Card DR--4.)
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.

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.

REV 4 5192971--100

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. (Refer to Job Card DR--6.)
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. (Refer to Job Card DR--17.)
-- If voltages at the above points are 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.
(Refer to Job Card DR--17.)
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. (Refer to Job Card DR--18.)
-- 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. (Refer to
Job Card DR--6.)

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

ERROR TYPE : Indicative. Exposure is not allowed.
APPLICABLE TO : Generators with High Speed Starter
APPEARS WHEN : At any moment
INFORMATION / SYMPTOM : Error Code “E55” is displayed and it is not possible to make Prep.

POSIBLE CAUSES
DC BUS Voltage out of range on the Control DRAC Board.
Voltage at TP18 on the Control DRAC is > 4.92 VDC.

1. Turn the generator ON.

TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT TOUCH ANY


HEATSINK OR ANY COMPONENT IN THE LV- DRAC
MODULE.

2. Check that the input voltage to the Generator (at Input Line Fuses) is according to
specifications (480 VAC, ±10%). If it is not, check the Input Power Line.

Note . For a three--phase Generator, the DC BUS voltage should be approximately the
RMS voltage value between phases times 1.5, when the generator is ON and not
making exposures.

G The following steps are a few recommendations to check the Input Power Line. These
steps are not related with the Generator.
G Measure the voltage between all the phases: L1 and L2; L2 and L3; L3 and L1. They may
have a big disequilibrium in one (1) of them.
G If the three (3) measurements are equal, maybe the input voltage in the installation is not
sinusoidal and the peek between any of the phases is too higher.

Use an Oscilloscope with the shield of the probe isolated from ground. Both the probe and
the scope have to be able to handle and insulation voltage of 480 VAC (±10%) between
the active of the probe and the shield.

Connect the probe between all the phases: L1 and L2; L2 and L3; L3 and L1. Check the
peek between any of the phases.

INFORMATION / SYMPTOM : Error Code “E66” is displayed and it is not possible to make exposures.

POSIBLE 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.

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 Section 5.2.1, “DIP Switch Configuration on Control DRAC Board,” of Chapter 4,
“Configuration and Calibration.” Especially check that DIP switch 3243SW3--5 is in the “ON”
position.)

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.

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 : 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.

POSIBLE 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.

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 Section 5.2.1, “DIP Switch Configuration on Control DRAC Board,” of Chapter 4,
“Configuration and Calibration.” Especially check that DIP switch 3243SW3--5 is in the “ON”
position.)

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.

4. Measure the Stator Tube Winding impedances on 11TS2 on the LV--DRAC Module:
G Between Main (11TS2--1) and Common (11TS2--3).
G Between Auxiliary (11TS2--2) and Common (11TS2--3).
G Between Main (11TS2--1) and Auxiliary (11TS2--2), it must be the sum of impedance
measured between Main and Common plus Auxiliary and Common.

Note . Impedance must be as stated in the X--ray Tube Stator specifications. (Refer to the
Manufacturer X--ray Tube Data Sheet.)

-- If the impedance is OK, go to the next step.


-- If the impedance is not correct:
-- Measure the Stator Tube Winding impedances on the Tube side:
-- Between Main and Common.
-- Between Auxiliary and Common.
-- Between Main and Auxiliary, it must be the sum of impedance measured
between Main and Common plus Auxiliary and Common.

-- If the impedance is correct on the Tube, replace the Stator Cable.


-- If the impedance is not correct on the Tube, replace the X--ray Tube.

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. (Refer to Job Card DR--17.)

Connect all the wires / cables removed during the procedure


back to the original connections.

6. Turn the system ON.

7. After turning the system ON, 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. This indicates that Microprocessor U5 is operating
normally. (Also, refer to Section 2.2, “Microprocessors and General
Operation” in this chapter.)

If it is correct follow with step 8. If not, there is a problem with the old
EEPROM U3. Turn the system OFF and replace EEPROM U3 as
described below. Then check that LED DS1 lights properly during power
up and after.

a. Turn the system OFF.

b. Set DIP switch A3024SW2--3 of the ATP Console CPU Board to


the ON position. This enables the Service Mode.

c. Turn the system ON.

d. If EEPROM-U3 is new, perform a Restore operation of the


Generator Configuration and Calibration data from the Magic PC
application using the CD / USB where the backup files are stored.

All the Configuration and Calibration data are noted in Appendix


A, “Data Book,” at the end of Chapter 4, “Configuration and
Calibration.” If Restore operation is not possible, enter the data
manually using Manual Calibration from the Generator Service
Mode (GSM). (Refer to Chapter 4, “Configuration and
Calibration.”)

8. Once the whole system has started-up, if Error Code E01 or E10 appears
on the Console and the HT Controller Board has the old EEPROM U3
installed, replace EEPROM U3 as described in step 7.
9. Turn the system OFF.
10. Set DIP switch A3000SW2--2 to the ON position.
11. Turn the system ON.

12. Check the period adjustment of the board. R29 and R49 are used to
adjust the period of the modulator for the inverter and filament, U19-5 and
U23-5 respectively. Using an oscilloscope at U19-5 or U23-5, the period
can be adjusted using these two (2) potentiometers if necessary.

Visually check the original Board Potentiometer Adjustments (pot


adjustments), which should be marked as shown in the photo above (Pot.
Adjustment Data), for the Inverter period in microseconds. If one or both
period measurement markings are missing, refer to the “Manufacturer
Original Final Test” documentation that came with the equipment.

The table below should serve as a guideline in case markings and


documentation are not available:

Component -- Pin System Configuration Period

U19-5 Heavy Duty Cycle Inverters (Three-Phase Generator) 48μs (45μs )

U23-5 Filament Control Board 3004-10 80μs

-- During the final system test, certain U19 components are set to 37 or 45, depending on the system.

13. Turn the system OFF.


14. Set DIP switch A3000SW2--2 to the OFF position.
15. Only if EEPROM-U3 is new, perform Section 5.2.2, “Programming of
RAD Filament Setting Time,” of Chapter 4, “Configuration and
Calibration.”
16. Turn the system ON.
17. Perform the Planned Maintenance procedures for Radiographic
Parameters. (Refer to Section 2.7, “Radiographic Parameters,” of
Chapter 2, “Planned Maintenance.”)
18. If the Configuration and Calibration data are not correct, perform a
complete Configuration and Calibration of the system. (Refer to Chapter
4, “Configuration and Calibration.”)
19. Turn the system OFF and set DIP switch A3024SW2--3 of the ATP
Console CPU Board to the OFF position. This enables the normal
Application Mode. This will disable the operator from entering the Service
Mode.

SELF RUNNING MODE

Continuous starting and braking cycles will cause the X--ray tube stator to
overheat. The Self Running mode prevents excessive heat accumulation by
holding the rotor at speed for a period of time after the exposure in the event an
immediate follow--on exposure is required such as during calibration.

In the Self-running mode (switch 3243SW4-6 in the ON position), the anode


remains running for approximately one (1) minute when rotating at 3300 rpm or
10000 rpm.

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

SECTION 6 CALIBRATION PROCEDURES

IMPORTANT NOTE

THIS GENERATOR HAS BEEN CONFIGURED, CALIBRATED, AND TESTED


BY THE MANUFACTURER, EXCEPT FOR AEC PROCEDURES.

DURING SYSTEM INSTALLATION, IT IS NECESSARY TO PERFORM AN MA


AUTO CALIBRATION AND AEC CALIBRATION AS OUTLINED IN SECTIONS
6.5.1, “AUTO--CALIBRATION OF DIGITAL MA LOOP OPEN,” AND 6.7, “AEC
CALIBRATION,” IN THIS CHAPTER.

BEFORE CALIBRATION MAKE SURE THAT THE INPUT LINE


IS DISCONNECTED AND THE CAPACITOR BANK IS
PROPERLY DISCHARGED. WAIT UNTIL LEDS DL7 AND DL8
ON THE CONTROL DRAC BOARD ARE OFF. REFER TO
CHAPTER 1, “SAFETY AND SERVICE,” SECTION 1,
“LOCK- OUT / TAG- OUT (LOTO)” FOR INFORMATION ON
LOTO.

Before calibration, bear in mind that:

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


needed (Kiethley model 35080A, GE part number 2109730 or
equivalent).

• For calibration and measurement an mA or mAs Meter is needed (GE


part number 46--194427P435 or equivalent) 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)

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

Two (2) different methods are described in this section: Auto-calibration and
Manual Calibration.

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


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

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

1. Turn the system OFF. Refer to Chapter 2, “Safety and Service,” Section
3, “De--Energizing System.” Change DIP switch 3024SW2-3 to the
closed (ON) position to enable the Service Mode. Refer to Section 3.1,
“Starting the Generator Service Mode,” to enter the Generator Service
Mode.

2. With the system power OFF (refer to Chapter 1, “Safety and Service,”
Section 4, “De--Energizing System”), set:

G DIP switch 3000SW2-2 on the HT Controller Board in the OFF


position (enables Filament and Rotor Interlocks).

G DIP switch 3000SW2-4 on the HT Controller Board in the ON


position (Digital mA Loop Open / Filament Current Constant).

3. Turn the system ON. Refer to Chapter 1, “Safety and Service,” Section
3, “Applying System Power.”

4. Perform the Auto-calibration procedure as described in Section 6.5.1,


“Auto--Calibration of digital mA Loop Open.”

6.5.1 AUTO-CALIBRATION OF DIGITAL mA LOOP OPEN

Auto-calibration of the Filament Current Numbers is divided in two (2) separate


procedures related to the mA stations available 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).

When autocalibration is invoked, all of the filament current


numbers of the selected focal spot are set to “344.” This value
corresponds to a stand by level of filament current and will
require that the entire calibration process be completed in
order to restore normal operation.

4-47
GE Healthcare Definium 5000 Generator Manual
REV 4 5192971--100

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

1. Turn the system OFF. Refer to Chapter 2, “Safety and Service,” Section
3, “De--Energizing System.” Change DIP switch 3024SW2-3 to the
closed (ON) position to enable the Service Mode. Refer to Section 3.1,
“Starting the Generator Service Mode,” to enter the Generator Service
Mode.

2. Enter Auto-calibration mode by pressing the Auto Calibration button on


the GSM application.

3. Select the Workstation for Service (WS2) using the Up and Down
buttons, then press the OK button to enter in calibration mode.

4. Select the Small Focal Spot by pressing the Small button and then press
the OK button.

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


button (Yes or No) on the new screen.

4-48
GE Healthcare Definium 5000 Generator Manual
REV 4 5192971--100

5. Press Confirm to confirm the Auto-calibration on the calibration screen.

6. 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.

4-49
GE Healthcare Definium 5000 Generator Manual
REV 4 5192971--100

7. Check that the Heat Units capacity available for the X-ray tube is at or
near 100% (HU 100% displayed on the screen).

BEFORE MAKING ANY EXPOSURE IN AUTO-CALIBRATION,


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

8. Keep the Handswitch button fully pressed to perform continuous


exposures.

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


programmed and cannot be changed.

Auto-calibration can be paused momentarily by releasing the


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

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


momentarily (such as Tube Overload, etc.), it means that the generator
can not calibrate in this moment the selected kVp / mA combination
(because anode overheated, space charge, generator power limit, etc.).
In this case, the generator will continue with the Auto-calibration of the
following available kVp / 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 the Tube too hot message 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 value


displayed are close to the 80% before making any exposure.

The generator tries to calibrate each kVp / mA combination for ten (10)
attempts (maximum). If calibration is cancelled (after ten [10] attempts),
the message Auto calibration failure is shown on the screen until you
press the Auto Calibration button to exit from the Auto-calibration mode
and go back to the GSM application. Calibration can be also cancelled
due to space charge during calibration of the lowest kVp at the highest
mA stations for the Focal Spot selected, so the message Auto calibration
failure is also shown on the screen until you press the Auto Calibration
button to exit from Auto-calibration mode and go back to the GSM
application.

4-50
GE Healthcare Definium 5000 Generator Manual
REV 4 5192971--100

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 kVp / mA COMBINATIONS HAVE NOT
BEEN AUTO-CALIBRATED FOR EACH FOCAL SPOT. THESE
COMBINATIONS HAVE THE FILAMENT CURRENT NUMBER
SET TO “344.” MANUALLY CALIBRATE THESE kVp / mA
COMBINATIONS AS EXPLAINED IN SECTION 6.5.2.

When Auto-calibration is successfully performed, an Auto Calibration OK


message is shown on the screen until you press the Auto Calibration
button to exit from Auto-calibration mode and go back to the GSM
application.

9. Repeat steps 1 through 7 for the large focal spot. Before starting
exposures, wait until the remaining Heat Units indication is over 80%.

10. 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 kVp break points (40, 50,
80, and 120 kVp). 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 . The highest mA station for Small Focal Spot may have numbers
larger than the lowest mA station for Large Focal Spot. This is
normal.

11. Exit from Manual Calibration and from the Generator Service Mode
application. Refer to Section 3.2 in this chapter.

12. Turn the system power OFF. Refer to Chapter 1, “Safety and Service,”
Section 4, “De--Energizing System.” Set DIP switch 3000SW2-4 on the
HT Controller Board to the OFF position (Digital mA Loop Closed). Reset
DIP switch 3024SW2--3 to the OFF position to disable the service mode.

13. Restart the system. Refer to Chapter 1, “Safety and Service,” Section 3,
“Applying System Power.”

Note . In the event it becomes necessary to cancel the auto calibration,


it 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 application.
Be advised that the focal spot is not fully calibrated and some or
all of the stations will be unusable until calibrated.

6.5.2 MANUAL CALIBRATION OF DIGITAL mA LOOP OPEN

This procedure describes the Manual calibration of all the Filament Current
Numbers. It will also be used to calibrate the kVp / 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 kVp break point by entering the


appropriate Filament Current Number for the proper tube current at each
selectable mA. Calibration at the other kVp break points (40, 50, 80, and
120 kVp) are obtained by adding or subtracting values as indicated in Table 3-6.

Although the suggested values (Table 3-6) could change depending on the
X-ray tube used, entering those values will approximate accurate calibration
without making excessive exposures.

In the Manual Calibration mode, the Filament Current Numbers are shown on
the calibration panel by pressing the Read button after selecting the respective
kVp / 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 kVp (at the break points)
can be selected.

1. Turn the system OFF. Refer to Chapter 2, “Safety and Service,” Section
3, “De--Energizing System.” Change DIP switch 3024SW2-3 to the
closed (ON) position to enable the Service Mode. Refer to Section 3.1,
“Starting the Generator Service Mode,” to enter the Generator Service
Mode.

2. With the system power OFF (refer to Chapter 1, “Safety and Service,”
Section 4, “De--Energizing System”), set:

G DIP switch 3000SW2-2 on the HT Controller Board in the OFF


position (enables Filament and Rotor Interlocks).

G DIP switch 3000SW2-4 on the HT Controller Board in the 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.

3. Turn the system ON. Refer to Chapter 1, “Safety and Service,” Section
3, “Applying System Power.”

4. Enter the calibration mode by pressing the Manual Calibration button on


the GSM application. Refer to Section 3.1 in this chapter.

5. To select the Workstation for Service (WS2), use the Up and Down
buttons then press the OK button.

6. Check that the Heat Units capacity available for the X-ray tube is at or
near 100% (HU 100% displayed on the screen).

7. Accordingly to X-ray tube ratings or maximum Generator power, check


which kVp / mA combinations in Table 3-6 are allowed.

If error “Tube Overload” is shown after selection of a kVp / 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 kVp / mA


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

Note which combinations in Table 3-6 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.

4-54
GE Healthcare Definium 5000 Generator Manual
REV 4 5192971--100

8. To enter the user mode in the calibration mode, press the Go to User
Mode button. Select the mA station and exposure time of each kVp / mA
combination not allowed. Increase or decrease the kVp value as required
to determine the kVp value allowed nearest to the kVp value of the
combination. Note the kVp value allowed in the respective cell of
Table 3-6.

9. Exit from the User Mode screen by pressing the Manual Calibration
button. Select 80 kVp and lowest mA station available (the first
combination available). Enter a Filament Number of 344 for this
combination.

10. 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 (i.e. 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 (i.e., 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 kVp 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.

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

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.

4-55
GE Healthcare Definium 5000 Generator Manual
REV 4 5192971--100

12. Complete the calibration process for all mA stations at 80 kVp as


described before. When you 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 kVp.
Record the new values in the Data Book.

13. Complete the calibration process for the remaining kVp / mA


combinations using Table 3-6 as a guide. It is not necessary to make
exposures to do this. Compute the value for all the kVp break points of
each available mA station although the generator power can not reach
all the kVp / mA combinations. Select the corresponding kVp / mA
combination and enter the computed value.

14. Check the calibration at all break points by making exposures. Correct
any calibration points as needed.

Note . If a “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.

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


to the new values obtained by the exposures. (Refer to Table 3-6.)

16. To enter the user mode in the calibration mode, press the Go to User
Mode button. Select the mA station, Exposure Time and kVp value noted
for each kVp / mA combination not allowed (refer to step 5). Check
calibration at these kVp / mA combinations by making exposures. If
needed, enter in calibration mode and correct the Filament Current
Number of the respective kVp / mA combination not allowed.

17. To exit from the User Mode screen, press the Manual Calibration button.
In calibration mode select each combination of the available mA stations
for each Focal Spot at the kVp break points (40, 50, 80, and 120 kVp).
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 . 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.
