Care and Maintenance
General Maintenance
To make sure that the system functions correctly, you must have it serviced
annually by an authorized technician. In addition, every three months inspect
the equipment and make sure of the following:
Generator
• The certification label is legible.
• There are no oil leaks.
Mechanical support
• The wall framework is securely attached to the wall.
• All the labels are legible.
• The scissor arm is stable in all positions.
Control unit and electrical installation
• The symbols are legible.
• The control unit cable and the power supply cable are in good condition.
• The ground is correctly installed.
• The radiology control key returns to its initial position after use.
Functioning
• The audible signal is audible and the x-ray emission light is visible when
you make an exposure (for example, 0.1 sec.).
• The message “E01”, which means Operator Error, is displayed when
you make an exposure (for example, 1.00 sec.) and release the control
button before the exposure time has elapsed.
Timer self-test
• Turn on the system to activate the self-test.
– The test starts with a simultaneous test of the display and alarm
lights.
– The unit proceeds to the systems test. At the end of this test, indicated
by a short beep, the firmware version and the total number of
exposures (divided by 10) made by the machine since installation is
displayed.
– If the test is not successful, an Error code is displayed on the display.
If the result of any of these checks is not
satisfactory, discontinue using the
equipment and contact an authorized
technician.
