System Specifications
Light Field Illuminance The light localizer has a minimum illuminance
of 160 lux and meets all of the requirements of
21CFR, section 1020.31. The lamp voltage is
the least amount required to assure 160 lux at
low line. A shatter shield surrounds the lamp.
Lamp is service adjustable to provide align-
ment of the light field to the x-ray field.
Light Field Mirror The light field mirror is motor driven out of the
x-ray field within 1.0 sec of x-ray initiation sig-
nal. Position sensors provide for x-ray inter-
lock. The lamp position is adjustable between
large focal spot and small focal spot to provide
proper light field to x-ray field congruency
required for a bi-angle target x-ray tube.
1.13 High Voltage Generator Specification (in compliance with IEC 601-2-
7)
Output Rating 3.2 kilowatt isowatt, minimum (100 mA @ 32
kV) at all loading times
Ripple Typically no greater than 2% with a maximum
of 4% at lower output loads (less than 2.2 kW)
and at high and low line voltages.
Topology Pulse-width-modulated High Frequency, active
servo-controlled. Dual Use of Inverter for HV
generation and for Rotor Supply
Timer An interval timer is used for the manual timing
as well as for the back-up-timer. There is an
additional hardware safety timer used to limit
the maximum exposure time to 6.5 seconds.

325, 350, 375, and 400, 425, 450, 475, and
500 mAs.
Reproducibility 0.05 coefficient of variation for 10 consecutive
exposures, per 21CFR, 1020.31. Internal limit
= 0.04.
Linearity Radiation output versus selected mAs is less
than 0.10 for adjacent mAs selections as fol-
lows: (X1-X2) equal to less than 0.10 (X1 + X2)
where X1 and X2 are average mR/mAs values
