  • Page 2: Important: Read This First

    XR 2000 Safety Information IMPORTANT: READ THIS FIRST It is essential that the operator of the XR 2000 read and understand the following safety warnings PRIOR to operation. The XR 2000 is designed to provide safe and efficient operation. However, any equipment producing ionizing radiation (x-rays) must be considered hazardous and should be treated accordingly.
  • Page 3 Adequate warning signs and symbols should be displayed in the vicinity of the XR 2000 warn of possible x-ray exposure. Any warning lamps and signals should be checked prior to operating the XR 2000. The electrical circuits of the XR 2000, although enclosed for operator protection, must be considered as a potential hazard.
  • Page 4 Warning: Failure to adhere to the following warnings may result in exposure to radiation: •= Do not operate the x-ray system unless all system components and features are in good repair. •= Never attempt to remove any system component or bypass any system function.
  • Page 5 In the event of failure or breakage, these items should only be replaced by a qualified service technician using factory-approved parts. 6. Service of the equipment should only be performed by or under the instruction of trained PACE personnel. Page 5 of 23...
  • Page 6 Radiation Safety Training PACE can provide or make referrals to those who can, operation and radiation safety training to ensure that the facility is in compliance with all state and federal radiation regulations.
  • Page 7 IC’s for internal damage and verify adjustments throughout the placement and reflow processes. For BGA’s, the XR 2000 can be used to check for all potential defects including: shorts, opens, mis- registration, non-wetting, solder ball voids, and delamination.
  • Page 8 XR 2000. The monitor used to view the images should be placed on the work surface next to the XR 2000 and not on top of the XR 2000 as it is not designed to support a monitor and the monitor may fall.
  • Page 9 The power cord should be connected to a properly grounded 120 VAC power supply. Composite Video Connection Figure 3: Back of TF 2000 PC. Page 9 of 23...
  • Page 10 Refer to the section on the image processor for further information. 8. Images may be captured electronically when the XR 2000 is used with the TF 2000 PC and software.
  • Page 11 XR 2000 Adjustment Features A. Introduction The XR 2000 is fitted with an XRTV Zoom X-Ray camera. The zoom camera magnification can be varied from 7x to 40x. The memory button can be used to store a magnification setting and to quickly return to that setting.
  • Page 12 rocker in the + direction to increase the magnification. Press the rocker in the - direction to decrease the magnification. The memory button can be used to store and quickly return to a preset magnification and focus setting. This function is useful if a video measurement system is used.
  • Page 13 If there ever was a problem with your x-ray system, you may be asked to perform this test if you call PACE for technical support. B. Blurry Image The XRTV Zoom camera employs an advanced focus system, which keeps the image in constant focus.
  • Page 14 C. General Problems If the camera does not appear to operate properly, switch off the power, wait a few minutes and switch the power back on. If the camera is still not operating properly, call PACE. Page 14 of 23...
  • Page 15 10. Specifications •= Operating voltage: 120V, 50/60 Hz •= Energy sensitivity: less than 15kV to greater than 160 kV •= X-Ray Tube – 52 kVA •= Resolution: greater than 20 line pairs per millimeter; can easily resolve a 1 mil bond wire •= Magnification: 7 - 40x •= Maximum field of view: 1 inch diameter circle •= Maximum PCB size:...
  • Page 16 The RTVA (Real-Time Video Averager) is an image processor used in the XR 2000 X-ray system. It uses video frame averaging to smooth the inherently grainy image coming from the X-ray camera. It is located inside of the XR 2000 housing.
  • Page 17 If you find that your system is coming close to its calibration date, please contact PACE to schedule a calibration. It is very important that you contact PACE early so that we may schedule service at a convenient time.
  • Page 18 Troubleshooting In the event that your system exhibits problems, this section will familiarize you with the basic steps to troubleshoot the problem as well as what information PACE Quick Tips will require in order to give you the best possible service.
  • Page 19 •= Does the X-ray monitor have a light gray screen or flicker? X-Ray: The x-ray category covers the problems that affect the tube’s emission of x-rays. The x-ray category includes: - The red “X-Ray On” light is not turning on. - There is no image on the monitor, but video signal is present.

  • Page 21 15. Model XR-2000 Design Safety Standards and Safe Operating Practices: Because of the low operating anode power of the XR 2000, real time x-ray inspection system, it has been registered with the Center for Devices and Radiological Health Branch of the FDA as an “Analytical X-ray System”. As registered, the system has a number of safety features provided to minimize any x-ray scatter reaching the operator.
  • Page 22 (milli Roentgens per hour). It is generally a good idea to have, as part of a radiation safety program, a radiation survey meter. The monitor –4EC survey meter is available from PACE. The Monitor-4EX employs an energy compensated G-M tube to measure the presence of radiation.
  • Page 23 Parts proving defective will be replaced free of charge FOB Laurel, Maryland, USA if defective equipment is returned to PACE for inspection. Freight charges prepaid.
