Cooling
Active or passive cooling will be needed depending on the application. Adhering to the limits specified in the X-ray
Source Characteristics will prevent any damage. Internal memory records operating temperature to facilitate failure
analysis. Operation outside of the permitted limits will void the warranty.

Operating Conditions

140kV tube anodes are grounded to the sheet metal and the power supply. Damage to the tube and or power supply
may result if a ground wire is not provided from the case ground to an appropriate equipment ground. Note that the
sheet metal is potted directly to the HVPS and should never be removed.
When operating the 140kV x-ray tube, adhere to the maximum settings as shown in Table 1 and 2. Failure to adhere
to these limits may cause damage to the x-ray tube and/or high voltage power supply. Failure to adhere to this
parameter will void the tube warranty. Internal memory records operation outside established limits for failure.

Mounting Information

Side screws are M2.5-0.45 THD and can be put in at a depth of 2mm. The front has 4 studs with dimensions M2 X
8mm. Mox140G, has four dual purpose screws at the front of the device. The studs are used for mounting purposes,
and for grounding. Removal of more than two studs will void the warranty. Once removed, studs cannot be added
back due to a risk in puncturing potting and harming electronic components.
