7.
XR 2000 Initial Power-up and Operational Test
The system should be fully set up according to the System Setup Section before
starting these procedures.
1. To turn on the power, turn the key to the ON position. The key is required
to turn on the power and cannot be removed unless the key has been
returned to the off position. The green system light should also turn on
when the key is engaged.
2. Make sure that there is nothing inside the inspection chamber and
depress and hold the foot pedal. The image on the PC or video monitor
should change from a flat light gray image to a brighter, slightly grainy
image. This is the blank x-ray image.
3. Release the foot pedal and the image should return to its original state.
4. Depress the foot pedal again and now look at the control panel. The red
"x-ray on" light should illuminate and remain on for as long as you hold
down the foot switch. Release the foot pedal.
5. Place a component (such as a circuit board) inside the inspection
chamber directly underneath the x-ray tube.
6. Depress and hold the foot switch. The x-ray image of the component
should now be visible.
7. Move the component while the foot switch is depressed. The image
should move with the component. The image will display a trail behind the
component, which will disappear when the component has stopped
moving. This is a normal occurrence and is a function of the image
processor. The video processor included with this system is preset to 8
frame averaging. Averaging makes the x-ray image less grainy and can
be adjusted to improve image quality but with an increase in motion lag.
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.
Your system is now ready for use. Please refer to the individual component
sections found later in this manual for further adjustment.
