Explanation: Warning! Radiation is released during
the procedure!
The door of the exam. room must be closed.
The collimator of
the selected tube must be closed.
The II should be
protected against X-ray with a lead apron.
Connect the oszilloscope to the measuring points mentioned
This procedure must be performed for each new installation, tube replacement,
but also if a symptom points to any kind of tube arcing.
The tube to be
conditioned must be selected. Select the tube on the UI.
If possible
release the exposures from a radiation protected area.
During the adjustment X-rays are released with an increasing kV.
The kV value reached without
arcing of the tube must be entered into the result field.
Procedure:
Select the kV/ mAs
start values mentioned on the left side of the screen.
Make an exposure
and wait for the time period specified in the "Pause Time" field until you release the
next exposures.
Increase the kV
until you reach the max. kV. If an
arcing is detected, ERROR number
or displayed on the scope decrease the kV one step and try the
procedure once again.
The maximum
reached value without arcing has to be filled in the "corrected kV max. "
field.
This value
determines the max. kV for application and adaption.
