CHAPTER 8
8.1. CHECKING THE INSTALLATION
STEP 1 : checking the conguration
Check on the control panel that all LEDs corresponding to the required conguration are lit; otherwise, change
them.
STEP 2 : checking the timer operation
1. Check the correct operation of the control panel by selecting different exposure times.
2. Check the time on the display.
3. Check that, when changing the selected tubehead, the corresponding X-ray signalling lamp for external use
turns on (OPTIONAL).
STEP 3 : checking the exposure
1. Set an exposure time of 1s.
2. On the timer, take the control button corresponding to the selected tubehead and stay at a safety distance (of
at least 2 meters) from the tubehead.
3. On the control button press the X-RAY key and keep it pressed until the acoustic signal (beep) stops and
the yellow LED turns off.
PLEASE NOTE
If the “X-RAY” key is released early, the exposure is immediately interrupted and the E12 error message appears on the display.
4. At the end of the exposure the green LED PAUSE intermittently turns on.
5. The display indicates the actual exposure time.
6. All the timer functions are inhibited.
STEP 4 : checking the operation of the tubehead
Carry out several exposures and check that:
►There are no errors.
►The LED of the selected tubehead is lit.
►The control button LED is lit over the whole duration of the acoustic signal (beep).
STEP 5 : checking the power absorbed by the radiographic system
To check the power absorbed by the radiographic system a tester must be used, in the mode ammeter in AC:
1. Connect the instrument to the power supply line.
2. Set an exposure time of approximately 3s on the timer.
3. Carry out an exposure and read the current value on the instrument.
