11User’s Statement Of Model Diamond
Radiation Leakage Technique Factors:
The maximum-rated peak tube potential is 39 kVp and the maximum-
rated continuous tube current is 4.0 mA (Duty cycle 1:12) for the
maximum-rated peak tube potential at a large focal spot. The maximum-
rated peak tube potential is 35 kVp and the maximum-rated continuous
tube current is 4.5 mA (Duty cycle 1:3) for the maximum-rated peak tube
potential at a small focal spot.
Beam Limiting Device/Tube Housing Assembly Compatibility:
The tube housing assembly is compatible with the interchangeable plate
collimator assembly, which is an integral part of the tube head and can
only be used with the tube housing assembly.
Equipment Statement for Tube Housing Assembly:
Maximum operating voltage:
35 kVp-effective focal spot 0.3 mm for a large spot 0.1 mm for a
small focal spot.
X-ray tube:
Varian M113SP 0.3/0.1. For additional information, refer to tube
specification sheets.
Operating parameters
Maximum Deviation of Peak Tube Potential from Indicated Value:
± 1.5 kV + instrumentation inaccuracies (1.5% of the reading +
600 V) as measured by a calibrated Dynalyzer
Maximum Deviation of Tube Current-Exposure time from Indicated Value:
± 4 mAs for mAs values less than or equal to 40 mAs ±10% for
mAs values greater than 40 mAs
Maximum Deviation of Timer from Indicated Value:
± 0.1 second + instrumentation inaccuracies (0.5% of the reading
+ 0.25 msec.) as measured by a calibrated Dynalyzer
Power Supply Requirements:
Line voltage 230 VAC ± 10%, 50/60 Hz, single phase. Operating
Voltage Range 207-253 VAC
Automatic regulation for all voltages within Operating Voltage Range.
Maximum Line Current:
Maximum line current during exposure is 30 A at technique factors 25 kVp
and 100 mA. The system line circuit breaker is 15 A because the maximum
line current of 30 A is only during short peaks during the exposure.
