8 Troubleshooting
8.1 NO POWER INDICATION
A Check that the power cord and control panel cable are connected.
B Check that the mains switch is switched on.
C Check the fuses or the circuit breaker.
D If the problems still persists, call your approved service center.
8.2 READY LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE
Press the exposure button, and note the message text shown in the LCD
display and refer to the “Check code guide” on the next page.
8.3 GRID LINES
If the grid light on the control panel does not light up, check that the Bucky
is properly attached on the cassette holder base. The exposure time is too
short (shorter than 0.2 sec.). Reduce the kV to increase the exposure time.
8.4 COMPRESSION PADDLE STUCK IN UPPER POSITION
The compression paddle has driven to its upper position at high speed
after power failure. Release the compression paddle by turning the
manual compression control handwheel counter-clockwise. In some
circumstances, this may require some force to be exerted on the control
wheel.
8.5 ERROR CONDITIONS
The Ready light indicates that every part of the unit is ready for exposure.
If the light is not on within 50 seconds of the previous exposure or the
ready light is blinking, an error condition has been detected.
Error conditions are indicated by a code on the LCD display.
Error codes are displayed on the LCD screen. Most error codes require a
call to your service technician. If the error code includes an OK-text, press
the middle function key (below the LCD) and then follow the procedures
suggested by Diamond.
All possible conditions and the remedial action required are listed in table
8.1, Diamond error code guide.
