2-6 Safety Summary
Emergency Procedures 5DX Series 3
Emergency Procedures
In case of a disaster such as fire, explosion, flood, or strong earthquake, the X-ray
Tube must be de-energized immediately. In an emergency, de-energize the X-ray
Tube by one of the following methods:
• Turn the X-ray Control Key to the Off Position.
• Press the X-ray Control Off Button on the Operator Control Console as shown
in Figure 2-3 Location of X-ray Control Off Button (Series II).
• Press one of the Emergency Stop Buttons, refer to Figure 2-2.
• Open the AC “Mains” Disconnect circuit breaker supplying power to the 5DX
System.
Once de-energized, the X-ray Tube emits no radiation. After a disaster that may
have resulted in damage to the 5DX System shielding, an X-ray Safety Test of the
5DX must be performed prior to placing it back in operation. Consult the Agilent
Response Center before attempting to return the 5DX System to operation. An
electrical brownout or electrical power off, due to storms, does not constitute an
emergency since the system will simply shut itself off and may be restarted in the
normal manner after the power returns.
