RaySafe Xi User Manual – mA/mAs Measurement

mA/mAs MEASUREMENT

Follow the steps below to start mA/mAs measurement:
1. Turn off the X-ray generator.
2. Remove the jumper of the mA/mAs port in the generator.
3. Connect the mAs cable to the RaySafe Xi base unit.
4. Connect the black and red banana plugs of the RaySafe Xi mAs cable to the mA/mAs port of the generator.
(Note! The RaySafe Xi mA/mAs instrument is dependent on the polarity. Using the wrong polarity will result
in no trig.)
5. Switch on the X-ray generator.
6. Turn on the RaySafe Xi and select mA/mAs in the SENSOR MENU. Make an exposure and read the
measurements in the display.
CAUTION! Do not forget to replace the mA/mAs jumper when removing the RaySafe Xi mAs cable.
CAUTION! Users of the RaySafe Xi mA/mAs meter must be aware of the potential damage to generators
and electrical human hazards in case of improper connection or failure of any part of the
meter circuit. This feature is intended for use only by personnel authorized in performing
calibration and repair of X-ray equipment.
