Page 4: Initial Inspection
Initial Inspection: the bottom side (no stickers) of the metal case. These holes When a Monoblock X-Ray Source is received, it should may be used for mounting. be unpacked and inspected as soon as possible. A standard (Cooling) Monoblock X-Ray Source consists of a high voltage power supply and an x-ray tube enclosed in a brass shield (Figure The Monoblock X-Ray Source does not require forced 1). Inspect the high voltage power supply and the tube convection or liquid cooling. The tube should be operated shield assembly for any damage that may have occurred in an environment that allows free air convection or during shipping. If a tube has been damaged, please conduction to secondary parts. Please refer to page 2 contact Moxtek immediately. The serial number is located of this manual for operating and storage temperature on the sticker on the high voltage power supply. specifications. The specified temperature is measured at the surface of the aluminum can containing the high voltage power supply unit. The maximum recommended operating anode shield temperature is 100 degrees Celsius (see Figure 2).

Page 6: Operating Conditions
Operating Conditions: Operating the Monoblock X-Ray Source without a Moxtek FTC-200 controller: Monoblock’s anodes are grounded to a metal shield (Figure 1). The high voltage power supply uses DC voltages and When operating the 50kV Monoblock X-Ray Source, adhere to signals to operate the tube. To operate the tube without the maximum setting below: using a Moxtek FTC-200 controller, refer to Table 1 and • 50 kV, 0.20 mA max, power limited to 4 Watts Table 2 for the 10 pin high voltage power supply connector Failure to adhere to these limits may cause damage the x-ray pinouts. tube and/or high voltage power supply. Failure to adhere to this parameter will forfeit the tube warranty. Timing Diagram: When operating Monoblock X-Ray Source, wait 2 seconds If the monoblock source is controlled by a device other...
