Information on the protective conductor resistance test

Observe the instructions in the "Safety Rules for Installation and Repair"
(ARTD-002.731.17 ...).
The protective conductor resistance must be measured after every intervention in the sys-
tem.
However, documentation of the measured values is required only during periodic safety
checks.
If parts/components that can significantly influence the protective conductor resistance
(e.g., replacement of the power cable, replacement of the power-up module, replacement
of multi-pole connection cables which also create the protective conductor connection
between system parts (e.g., monitor cable or C-arm cable)) are replaced or if protective
conductor connections have been repaired, the protective conductor resistance must be
measured. The values must be documented and evaluated in the protective conductor
resistance protocol.

General information and safety guidelines
X-ray radiation!
Non-compliance can lead to illness, irreversible damage to body
cells and the genotype, severe injury and even death.
During work on the system in which radiation must be released,
the radiation protection directives and the rules for radiation pro-
tection according to ARTD-002.731.02.. must be complied with.
Please note:
Use available radiation protection devices.
Wear radiation protection clothing (lead apron).
Stay as far away as possible from the radiation source.
Release radiation only if necessary.
Set the radiation activity as low as possible. (low kV and
mA values, short radiation time)
Release radiation for as short a time as possible.
Checks requiring the release of radiation are identified by
the radiation warning symbol shown on the left.
