Page 3: Introduction
WARNINGS and OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS sections of the manual before operating the device. X-ray generators from Golden Engineering are industrial type open beam X-ray generators intended to radiograph inanimate objects. The devices are a pulsed X-ray device that produces X-ray pulses of very short duration (10-50 nanoseconds). -

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION XRS3RA CONTROL MODULE The main user interface for the X-ray generator located on top of the unit. HIGH VOLTAGE PULSER/TUBEHEAD The main body of the X-ray Generator is the tube head. The head contains the tube cavity, cold cathode type X-ray tube, spark gap, high voltage capacitor, and transformer. - Page 5 HANDLE The handle of the XRS3RA is attached to the front and back of the Control Module. The handle of the XRS4RA is integral to the body. PICATINNY RAIL The X-ray generator is equipped a 21 mm picatinny rail located on each side of the housing and the top/bottom of the nose.

Page 10: Remote Cable Connector
REMOTE CABLE CONNECTOR The X-ray Generator is equipped with Lemo “K” series connector located on the lower left corner of the back of the control module. This is where the remote cable or imaging system cable is attached. Depending on the options of the unit, this may either be 5 pin or 7 pin connector. -
Page 11: Description Of Operation
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION The block diagram below illustrates how the X-ray generator functions. The following sequence of events takes place each time the unit is fired: 1. User initiates operation of the machine. 2. The controller sends a signal to the converter to begin oscillating. 3. -

Page 16: Pulse Count Exceeds Duty Cycle
PULSE COUNT EXCEEDS DUTY CYCLE DUTY CYCLE WARNING The 20V family of X-ray generators are light duty machines that are not made to pulse continuously. The maximum duty cycle for the units is 200 pulses every four minutes. In temperatures above 90°F (32.22°C) or continual use situations, rest a minimum of 30 sec every 50 pulses and 4 min after every 200 pulses. -

MULTIPLE PULSE TRAINS EXCEED DUTY CYCLE BTWN indicates the number of seconds Pulse train settings that exceed the duty cycle of 200 between pulse trains. -
Page 18: Working With Presets
NAVIGATING THE MENU WORKING WITH PRESETS Presets allow the operator to save settings that are commonly used, so they can be recalled when needed. This is useful for changing between different pulse train setups. DEFINE PRESETS The settings you wish to save as a preset must first be loaded HOME on the home screen. -
