  • Page 3: Introduction

    XRS-3 is a pulsed x-ray device that produces x-ray pulses of very short duration (50 nanoseconds). It produces a relatively low dose rate comparable to a 0.25 ma constant potential machine. The energy produced by the XRS-3 is up to 270KVP, which makes it possible to radiograph up to one (1) inch (2.54 cm) of steel.

  • Page 4: Physical Description

    85 degrees are available. BASE. The base of the XRS-3 contains the base plate, tripod mount, tripod mount release button, and identification label. The tripod mount contains threaded ¼-20 insert that can be attached to any standard camera tripod.

    RED X-RAY PULSING LIGHT: Blinks after time delay button or remote cable button is pressed to warn that the XRS-3 is going to pulse. The light stays on continuously while the XRS-3 is pulsing. This is a failsafe warning light. If the light does not work the X-ray unit will not pulse.

  • Page 7: Description Of Operation

    50 nanoseconds in duration is applied across the x-ray tube generating x-rays. The closing of the High Voltage Switch produces an audible pulsing sound. The XRS-3 cannot produce x-rays without the pulsing sound so it serves as an additional warning the XRS-3 is functioning.

    8. Press the UNITS BUTTON and EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON simultaneously to lock in pulse setting. XRS-3 will retain locked in pulse setting until it is changed. Select ones digit Enter ones value (0-9)

  • Page 9: Remote Cable Option

    Underexposure can be corrected by increasing the number of pulses and/or decreasing the distance between the imaging medium and the XRS-3. Overexposure can be corrected by reducing the number of pulses and/or increasing the distance between the imaging medium and XRS-3.

    ➢ The condition indicates a low battery. ➢ The XRS-3 will be inoperable until the key switch is turned off and on, or the battery is replaced. If there is more than one second between two consecutive pulses.
