     PACE strongly recommends that all maintenance be performed by a qualified service technician.  The XR 3700 x-ray tube produces high voltages of up to 70,000 volts. The XR 3500 X-ray tube produces high voltages of up to 50,000 volts. Under no circumstances should the case be disassembled or modified as severe electrical shock may occur.
  • Page 4: Radiation Safety Information

     The radiation exposure dosage received by personnel working with x-ray inspection equipment should not exceed those limits set by local regulations relating to ionizing radiation.  Adequate warning signs and symbols should be displayed in the vicinity of the XR 3500/3700 warning of possible x-ray exposure. Any warning lamps and signals should be checked prior to operating the XR 3500/3700.
  • Page 5 Warning: Failure to adhere to the following warnings may result in exposure to radiation:  Do not operate the x-ray system unless all system components and features are in good repair.  Never attempt to remove any system component or bypass any system function.
  • Page 6: Radiation Safety Guidelines

    Radiation Safety Guidelines To ensure the health and safety of the operator and all others in the vicinity of operating x-ray inspection equipment, the following guidelines are recommended for establishing a basic radiation safety program. Note: Federal, State, and some local government agencies may have more stringent regulations concerning the operation and use of equipment that produces ionizing radiation (x-rays).

    6. Service of the equipment should only be performed by or under the instruction of trained PACE personnel. Many users choose to issue periodic radiation film badges to assure employees that they are not being exposed to significant levels of radiation and to provide added assurance that radiation emissions are well within regulatory limits.

    6. System Operation XR 3500/3700 The XR 3500/3700 Real Time Inspection System is a powerful tool in the quality control and process verification of all aspects of microelectronics manufacturing. The XR 3500/3700 provides rapid, real-time x-ray inspection for Bare Board production and rework environments.
  • Page 9: Set-Up

    7. Set Up A. XR 3500/3700 as a stand-alone inspection station Place the XR 3500/3700 on a stable work platform of sufficient capacity to adequately support the XR 3500/3700. The monitor used to view the images should be placed on the work surface next to the XR 3500/3700 and not on top of the XR 3500/3700, as it is not designed to support a monitor and the monitor may fall.

     Does the systems image processor boot up?  Does the X-ray monitor have a light gray screen or flicker? X-Ray: The x-ray category covers the problems that affect the tube’s emission of x-rays. The x-ray category includes: - The red “X-Ray On” light is not turning on. - There is no image on the monitor, but video signal is present.
  • Page 14 (milli Roentgens per hour). It is generally a good idea to have, as part of a radiation safety program, a radiation survey meter. The monitor –4EC survey meter is available from PACE. The Monitor-4EX employs an energy compensated G-M tube to measure the presence of radiation.
