X-ray tubes which sit dormant for several months can become
electrically unstable. To remedy this condition it is recommended to
perform a “new tube seasoning procedure”. This process will establish
stable high voltage operation and, will ultimately extend the life of the
tube. Repeat this procedure before returning to normal operation any
time the system has been unused for more than two months.
1. Verify system operation.
2. Energize the system.
3. Select the exposure time of one second.
4. Make ten exposures at this level, observing the normal cooling
time.
5. Proceed with the remainder of the installation.
