AMX−4+ OPERATION
GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS (MODEL 2169360, 2236420 & 2275938 SERIES)
REV 10 om 2166913−100
8−3
Status Messages Description
READY FOR X−RAY The prep cycle has successfully completed, and an exposure may be taken within the
next 30 seconds. (If an exposure is attempted after 30 seconds, the prep cycle must be
repeated.)
RECHARGE The estimated usable battery capacity is near 0%. No more exposures may be
IMMEDIATELY − taken. Although charge is too low to complete an x-ray exam, you’ll have enough
X-RAY INHIBITED energy to drive the unit to a correctly rated wall outlet for recharge.
RECHARGE The remaining battery capacity is approximately 10% or less.
RECOMMENDED
RELEASE HANDLE The AMX−4+ was moving faster than the drive motors allow. Release the Drive Han-
dle to clear the message, and then continue with normal operation. This may happen if
you push the AMX−4+ too hard when driving down a ramp.
RELEASE PREP SW The prep switch is still depressed (five seconds after an exposure or beyond the
30−second timeout). If taking an exposure, repeat the prep cycle: 1) release the prep
switch, and 2) when the message WAIT is no longer displayed, press to prep position
again.
RESET AEC CNTROL Reset the AEC controller. AEC is on, but not enabled.
For Example:
The (ON) light is flashing on the Automatic Exposure Control (AEC) unit. This indi-
cates the paddle is not connected. Reset the AEC controller.
The red reset (GEN) on the Automatic Exposure Control (AEC) unit is lit. This indi-
cates the back−up time is too short. Reset the AEC controller.
REVERSE ONLY Forward drive is prevented because the safety bumper is in contact with another ob-
ject. Reverse the unit before proceeding.
TESTING COMPLETE Power−up diagnostic testing is finished.
WAIT Wait before taking another exposure. (Displayed when the tube anode has cooled, but
before the battery has recovered from the previous exposure.) Although radiographs
can be taken, because of low battery voltage they may not achieve the desired kVp
technique accuracy.
WAIT/ACT−XX.X After an AEC exposure the XX.X field will display the actual exposure mAs.
X−RAY DISABLED This message appears if an attempt to make an exposure occurs while HEAT WAIT is
displayed.
X−RAY TUBE PARKED No exposures can be taken with the x−ray tube in the park/transport position.
