ARIOUS GENERAL PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED
Observing certain simple rules will ensure that operations are performed under optimal safety conditions,
both for the operator and the equipment. Some of these rules will ensure that you obtain images of the
highest quality. We advise you most strongly to adopt the following recommendations:
1. Only authorized personnel shall use the CP SERIES generator set.
2. Take care that the CP SERIES generator is never used with a supply voltage exceeding 264VAC.
3. Make sure that you ALWAYS work with the equipment well earthen. Check this if in doubt.
4. Avoid exposing the CP SERIES or PowerBox to direct bright sunlight for extended periods.
5. Whenever possible, avoid switching off the power immediately after a long exposure. Allow the fan
to cool the anode down during 1 minute before to switch the off the PowerBox.
6. Check that neither the air inlet nor outlet of the tube head becomes blocked.
7. Do not attempt to modify, disconnect or bridge the safety shut-off devices. Your warranty will be
void.
8. Use the custom diaphragm adapted to the sizes of your films as much as possible to reduce the
scattered radiation level.
9. Use the lead shutter during preheating (warm-up). The leakage dose will be become less than 2
mSv/h at one meter from the focal spot. This level is however still harmful for your health, step
away from the tube head during preheating and shots and monitor your personal dose rate
meter/survey meter.
10. Make sure the circular cannon jack are locked in position. (A 'click' can be heard or felt when the
connector goes in the locked position and the red dots on both sides of the connector will be
aligned)
11. Keep the cooling fans and heat sinks clean. Remove accumulated dust with compressed air when
required.
