Agilent 5DX Service Guide 2-11
5DX Series 3 High Voltage Safety
Safety Requirements
• Do consult the Agilent Response Center before attempting to service any
components of the X-ray Subsystem.
• Do properly follow ALL Warnings and Cautions.
• Do verify that the X-ray Tube has an external green ground wire going directly
to the ground connection on the X-ray High Voltage Power Supply. This safety
ground is in addition to the ground supplied by the High Voltage Cable and the
X-ray Tube Mount.
High Voltage Safety
The 5DX System has no exposed high voltage potentials. High voltages are
contained within subsystems, and should only be accessed by Agilent personnel.
High Voltage Subsystem
The High Voltage Subsystem’s high voltages are contained within the X-ray High
Voltage Power Supply, the High Voltage Power Supply Cable, and the X-ray Tube
Assembly. Under no conditions are the High Voltage Subsystems user serviceable.
The X-ray High Voltage Power Supply produces up to 160,000 volts direct current
(dc). Should any damage occur to any of the high voltage components, remove
power from the system, and contact the Agilent Response Center prior to
attempting any further operation of the 5DX System.
WA R N I NG This product produces High Voltage potentials. Do not attempt to open any
part of the product. Contact with High Voltage can cause serious bodily
injury. Refer all servicing to service-trained personnel.
