Tube Current and Power Operational Range

Initial Inspection

When a Mox HPC tube is received, it should be unpacked and inspected as soon as possible. Caution: Do not lift or carry the
tube by the high voltage cable. Inspect the tube assembly for any damage. The Beryllium should not have any cracks or holes.
The copper heat sinks should be tightly joined (See Figure 3). The fans should be free of chips or cracks and have the wires
properly attached. Inspect the high voltage cable for proper tight and solid strain relief at the base of the tube. In the unlikely
event that a tube has been damaged during shipping, note the damage and contact MOXTEK immediately. The serial number is
