METALJET D2+ SAFETY
Revision 19, November 2016 Page 2-3
High voltage is potentially lethal
High voltage can cause electric shock or burn.
All sub-units of the MetalJet D2+ source must be properly grounded before being energized. Use high
voltage precautions.
Always ensure complete discharge of the high-voltage cable when removing it from the system by letting
the circled metal connectors touch ground, see Figure 2-1.

2.1.6 High pressure
The MetalJet D2+ source has, unlike conventional x-ray sources, a liquid-metal-jet anode. The metal jet is
generated by forcing a liquid metal through a small orifice. The pressure generated by the metal pump is 190
bar. Therefore, only properly trained service personnel should be permitted to service the diaphragm pump or
any part of the tubing system connected to the pump.
High liquid-metal pressure
Under no circumstances should any kind of service, maintenance, or adjustments to the jet pump, or the
equipment and tubing connected to it, be done while the MetalJet D2+ source is in operation.
Service, maintenance, or any kind of adjustments of the jet pump, or the equipment and tubing connected
to it, may only be performed by properly trained service personnel.
