Page 4: Introduction
The devices are a pulsed X-ray device that produces X-ray pulses of very short duration (10-50 nanoseconds). The energy produced by the X-ray generator varies from model to model, and in the XR150 12V is approximately 150 kVp, which makes it possible to radiograph up to one (1/2) inch (1.27 cm) of steel. -
Page 5: Warnings
WARNINGS The X-ray generators from Golden Engineering are pulsed X-ray generators that emit hazardous ionizing radiation when pulsing. The unit should only be operated by authorized personnel who are properly trained to safely operate the X-ray generator. The X-ray generator must be registered with proper authorities prior to use and should not be used to intentionally expose humans. -

REMOTE CABLE CONNECTOR The X-ray Generator is equipped with Lemo “K” series connector located on the lower left corner of the back of the control module. This is where the remote cable or imaging system cable is attached. Depending on the options of the unit, this may either be 5 pin or 7 pin connector. -
Page 11: Description Of Operation
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION The block diagram below illustrates how the X-ray generator functions. The following sequence of events takes place each time the unit is fired: 1. User initiates operation of the machine. 2. The controller sends a signal to the converter to begin oscillating. 3. -

DUTY CYCLE WARNING The XR150 is a light duty machine that is not made to pulse continuously. The maximum duty cycle for the units is 100 counts (300 pulses) every four minutes. In temperatures above 90°F (32.22°C) or continual use situations, rest a minimum of 30 sec every 50 pulses and 4 min after every 200 pulses. -

Page 19: Multiple Pulse Train Exceeds Duty Cycle
MULTIPLE PULSE TRAIN EXCEEDS DUTY CYCLE If multiple pulse train combination exceeds 100 counts in 4 minutes the LCD will warn that settings exceed duty cycle and ask if operator wants to continue. The software will allow operator to continue, but they must acknowledge that they are exceeding duty cycle and could void the warranty. -
