Installation

2.11.0 TUBE mA AUTO CALIBRATION

It is recommended that the generator be tested at this point with only the X-ray tube and rotor / high-
tension cables connected. The generator should be able to complete an X-ray tube seasoning and
calibration cycle without other equipment connected to the generator (other than the basic interlocks as
noted below). This will allow for easier fault isolation as each section of the system is connected and
tested.
Before being able to make X-ray exposures, the room door interlock must be closed and the
thermal switch must be closed. The interlocks cannot be deprogrammed during tube mA auto calibration.
It is recommended that the tube(s) be conditioned (seasoned) before beginning tube auto
calibration, particularly if the tube has not been used for some time. Refer to chapter 6.
Before beginning tube auto calibration, the tube(s) used in this installation must be properly
selected, and the generator limits should be programmed. Refer to chapter 3C.

2.12.0 FINAL CHECKS

The room interface connections may now be completed. These items are described in 2.6.8.
•
When finished all wiring, check that all connections are tight and secure.
•
Check that all cables are dressed neatly inside the main cabinet, and secured as necessary.
•
Reconnect any grounds that have been removed from covers. Then reinstall all covers before placing
the generator into service.
•
For units with the touchscreen console, perform touchscreen calibration. Refer to chapter 3C for the
proper calibration procedure.
NOTE:
Use and disclosure is subject to the restrictions on the title page of this CPI document.
