Self-Diagnosis Indicators - AGFA DX-D 300 User Manual

Self-diagnosis Indicators

Self-diagnosis indicators identify a malfunction in the system alerting the
operator that an error is inhibiting exposure. During normal operation of the
system, these indicators are directly shown on the lower area of the console or
as an error code close to the "CONT." button.

DOOR OPEN

TUBE OVERLOAD
ROTOR ERROR
OVERHEAT
Description
Indicates that the X-ray room door is open when the
X-ray equipment is in use.
Indicates that the exposure was interrupted because
arcing or malfunctioning occurred during exposure
on the HV circuitry (X-ray tube, HV transformer
and/or HV cables) or a failure of IGBT module
(overheated or defective IGBTs) was detected.
It can also appear when making a lengthy or high
powered exposure with the X-ray tube cool (when
the X-ray tube has not been sufficiently warmed-
up).
Indicates that either the technique selected is be-
yond the X-ray tube ratings or present conditions of
the X-ray tube inhibit the exposure (anode overhea-
ted). Parameters for next exposure may be tempora-
rily limited by the generator (change the exposure
values or wait for the X-ray tube to cool).
Indicates that the X-ray tube anode is not rotating
while "Prep" is active. Exposures are inhibited.
Indicates that the X-ray tube thermostat/pressure-
stat is open due to overheating of the X-ray tube
housing (housing is too hot, wait for the housing to
cool) or that there is a thermostat/pressurestat mal-
function (housing is cool). Heat units may rise to
any value.
