Appendix A AEC Calibration with DR or CR Film Plate
OVERVIEW
This appendix provides instructions for successful AEC calibration of the HF Series X-
ray generator when configured for operation with either:
• a digital receptor (DR) panel and the generator is not equipped with an
ethernet adapter (i.e., no Q-Connect option)
• any non-integrated computed radiography (CR) system.
For additional information, refer to the DR or CR system manufacturer’s installation
and operation documentation.
If the HF Series X-ray generator is integrated with an Agfa CR System
(i.e., DiRex System), refer to Appendix B, CALIBRATION (DiRex System)
for generator configuration and calibration instructions.
If the HF Series X-ray generator is integrated with an Agfa NX-DR
SeriesDigital Imaging System, a QG-DIG-CXDI Canon/Quantum
Integration or has a Q-VISION operator control panel, refer to Appendix
D, CALIBRATION (Using Insight) for generator configuration and
calibration instructions.
CAUTION! Before calibrating unit, perform warm-
up procedures recommended by tube manufac-
turer or the warm-up procedure described in
Chapter 3 of the Operator’s Manual.
SPECIAL CANON DR SYSTEM CONFIGURATION INSTRUCTIONS
When the HF Series X-ray generator is used with a fixed Canon CXDI-40G or por-
table CXDI-50G (or CXDI-50C) digital radiographic receptor, the generator config-
uration settings must be correct to ensure proper functionality of the associated
ion chamber(s) used in the system. Prior to the performance of AEC calibration, it
is assumed the Quantum/Canon Integration Software (QG-DIG-CXDI) has been
installed and configured in accordance with the instructions provided in Quantum/
Canon Integration Guide DC30-058.
Verify the following generator settings are correct for your configuration:
1. Locate jumper JP7 on AEC Board A11 (AY40-031S) on the generator PCB
Door (refer to Chapter 6, DIAGRAMS for the PC board layout).
2. If a CXDI-50G (or CXDI-50C) portable DR receptor is used in the system and
will be operated such that it can be located in more than one receptor con-
taining an ion chamber (e.g., example, a table with ion chamber and a chest
stand with ion chamber), verify Jumper JP7 is installed across pins 1 and 2.
All other configurations require Jumper JP7 be installed across pins
2 and 3.
3. If a CXDI-50G (or CXDI-50C) portable DR receptor is used in the system, and
will be operated such that it can be located in more than one receptor con-
taining an ion chamber, the ion chamber signal cables must be connected to
the WALL1 (A11J2) and WALL2 (A11J3) connectors on AEC Board A11. Do
not connect either ion chamber cable to the TABLE (A11J5) connec-
