  • Page 45: Quick Start Guides For Service

    In this series of Quick Start Guides, we will demonstrate how to diagnose and fix any issues that might arise in the lifetime of a VERTX unit. The VERTX represents a step function improvement over any other CR unit in the field today, as it is extremely portable, and designed to be completely modular, allowing for fast, in-field service.

  • Page 46: Quick Start: Software Diagnosis

    Note: To use this quick start, you must have a VERTX connected to an acquisition computer using a USB 2.0 cable. Both the PC and the VERTX unit must be powered on, with the software scan interface up and running on the computer. The VERTX must be able to scan an image, and the software must be able to display the image that is scanned.
  • Page 47 VERTX – Service Manual Introduction: As in any service situation, it is important to analyze the issue before disassembling the machine.

    field. It is hoped that the in-field repair of the Scan Head will never be necessary, and it is iCRco policy to provide a service Scan Head kit, rather than send component parts to the field. A clear understanding of the functionality and error conditions that may occur can often provide insight that will lead to another source of the issue, and avoid costly replacement of the scan head itself.
  • Page 53 The scan head has one cover that can be removed without removing the scan head from the VERTX itself. The bottom mirror cover allows access to the two long mirrors for cleaning. White, out of focus, vertical lines parallel to the 17 inch axis on a 14X17 imaging cassette indicate that there is dust or particulates on one of the two long mirrors.

  • Page 71: Vertical Lines In Images

    VERTX – Service Manual Symptoms and Their Causes 11.2 Vertical Lines in Images: Vertical lines in the images are most often caused by something in the scan path, that maybe stopping the laser from reaching the plate. If the lines are random within an image, but repeatable in each successive image, there is likely lint/dust blocking the beam near the focal point of the Laser.

  • Page 72: Horizontal Lines & Banding In Images

    VERTX – Service Manual done with the 45 degree roof mirror. 11.3 Horizontal Lines & Banding in Images Lines that appear on an image are caused by several different sources. It can be quite difficult to separate these causes and find the cure. Because light can interact with the scanning laser capture system, it is important to remove the possible causes of lines in a systematic manner to find the solution.

  • Page 73: Lines Caused By Light

    11.3.4 Lines caused by bad power: The VERTX unit is susceptible to surrounding electronic noise. If the power source is not stable, this could cause line artifacts in the image. Please be sure to use a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) of at least 1500VA or 1500W.

  • Page 74: No Galvanometer Movement

    VERTX – Service Manual To determine if the laser is functioning, remove the back cover, cover the scan slot with tape, remove power from the eraser lights, then turn the laser on and visually determine if the laser is functioning. Ensure that the interior of the scanner is not exposed to ambient light, as this will damage the Photo-Multiplier Tubes (PMT).
