4.5 Operation of the X-ray tube
NOTE
The X-ray tube must be warmed up every day to prolong the life of the X-ray tube
and to prevent flashovers. If you do not have the initial preparation procedure
recommended by the X-ray tube manufacturer, proceed as follows:
Set generator: Large focus, 200 mA, 40 mAS.
Take 8 exposures. Start at 50 kV and increase in 10 kV steps to 120 kV (expose every
30 seconds, otherwise a flashover can occur in the tube).
See also the instruction for use of the respective generator and the CONAXX 2
instructions for use.

4.11 Function of the PRS 500 E
4.11.1 Switching the PRS 500 E on and off
The PRS 500 E is switched on via the console of the generator. All system components are supplied
with voltage via the generator. If the system contains a Power Box, the power is supplied via the Power
Box.
When the generator or Power Box is powered up using the switch-on button, a self-test runs on the
generator and the control desk. After successful completion of the self-test, the parameters are
displayed.
ATTENTION!
Specially for the TOUCH option: The system is only switched off when the
touch display is completely shut down. A system restart is only possible after
the touch display has been shut down completely. Otherwise the touch
display will not start.
4.11.2 Dosimetric Calibration
The generator carries out a self-test of the selected dose area meter (if available) when it is switched on
and when the tubes are switched over in two-tube operation.
During this test, each dose area meter emits a defined number of test pulses which are determined by
the generator and are compared with the stored test value. In the event of a deviation outside of the
tolerance range (generator dependent), a warning message is displayed, indicating that the measuring
device has not been set correctly. In this case, please contact PROTEC service department or a service
company authorized by them immediately.
