325E X-Ray Generator Summit Industries, Inc. Model Numbers F280 / A700 Note that the 02249-000 timer board will display error codes per the table below. If more than one selection is invalid the highest number will take precedence. For example, an “invalid mA” and “kVp too low” would display as E04. Once the mA error is cleared the kVp low error E03 would then be displayed.
325E X-Ray Generator Summit Industries, Inc. Model Numbers F280 / A700 Then reset kVp selectors to result in voltmeter indication of 160 VAC. mA STATION kVp METER INDICATION (kVp) If the kVp meter indication varies by more than 5 kVp from the values given above, proceed to the kVp calibration procedure (page 23).
