Regulatory Information
Agilent Technologies is registered with federal and state agencies to sell and service its own X-ray equipment manufactured in Loveland,
Colorado, USA. The equipment was designed, and is used, to inspect printed circuit boards only. The X-ray equipment is classified in the United
States and internationally as an “Industrial Cabinet X-ray System”. It is not large enough for human entry. The equipment has been designed and
constructed to be safely used in any area.
The Agilent 5DX System utilizes an X-ray Tube operating at 160 kilovolts, 100 microamps shielded within the lead cabinet. The tube is rated for
continuous duty operation with beam filtration of 0.07 inches Beryllium and 0.010 inches stainless steel.
The lead cabinet is fully interlocked such that the main power to the X-ray Tube is removed when any access panel is opened.
When the 5DX System is installed at the customer’s site, the equipment is surveyed by trained service people. A full radiation safety survey is
performed and a report generated. The survey is made using a Geiger Mueller and a health physics ion chamber according to procedures on record
with the CDRH.
The end user is responsible for registering the equipment with their local and state authorities.
