    HF Series Generators Maintenance Select 110 kV. Make an exposure without film in the cassette and check that the Exposure Time is higher than 20 ms. If necessary for that, change the Copper thickness (or if needed change the mA station) and make the exposure again.

  • Page 383: 2.10 Fluoro Check

    HF Series Generators Maintenance 2.10 FLUORO CHECK Fluoro functions are calibrated by performing the following steps: Turn the Generator ON. Make sure that the Small Filament of the X-ray tube is properly warmed-up. Set up a Dosimeter to measure the Maximum Entrance Skin Exposure Dose Rate.

  • Page 384: 2.11 Abc Check

    HF Series Generators Maintenance The Fluoro mA values are obtained by measuring the average mA using a mA meter in Fluoro. During Fluoro exposure, mA values are read directly with a mA Meter in DC connected to the mA Test Points (banana plug connections) on the HV Transformer.
  • Page 385 HF Series Generators Maintenance Select ABC mode. Place 2 mm of Copper (or equivalent homogeneous phantom) in the Collimator Filter Holder. Make a Fluoro exposure and check that Fluoro kVp displayed on the Console is between 80 kVp and 60 kVp. If it is more than 80 kV or less than 60 kV modify the Copper thickness in steps of 0.1 mm (or 0.2 mm)
