Golden engineering XRS4 - User Manual

XRS4 may fail prematurely above 5000 ft. elevation.

XRS4 is not for continuous use; observe duty cycle limits to prevent damage.

Main body containing X-ray tube, spark gap, capacitor, transformer, and collimator.

Base contains identification label and tripod mounting insert.

Standard battery is DeWalt 18V Ni-Cad. Optional chemistry/voltage may be available.

Standard charger is DeWalt DW9116 (110V) or DE9108 (220V). Charge time is one hour.

Indicates pulsing status; a failsafe indicator for unit operation.

32-character display showing pulse count, time delay, and readiness.

Initiates time delay mode countdown when left/right arrows are pressed.

Illuminates when battery voltage is applied to the control module.

Used for menu selection and emergency shutdown.

Used to navigate LCD menus and options.

Details pin functions: 5V, remote switch, X-ray signal, and common ground.

Specifies Lemo connector types for remote cable and mating plug.

Step-by-step explanation of XRS4 operation from user initiation to X-ray generation.

Generates X-rays via high voltage bombardment of a tungsten target. No radioactive materials.
