Appendix D Calibration (Using Generator Service Tools)
Revision W HF Series X-ray Generators - Service Manual
D-4 Quantum Medical Imaging, LLC
OVERVIEW
This appendix provides instructions for configuring and calibrating the HF Series X-ray
generator on systems equipped with the Q-Connect option (ethernet adapter), with
the exception of Agfa DiRex Integration Systems (covered in Appendix B). Generator
Configuration and Calibration can only be performed using the generator’s "Insight",
Generator Configuration, and Calibration Wizard service tools installed on the com-
puter serving as the generator operator control panel (i.e., Q-VISION all-in-one PC or
digital imaging system workstation computer).
If this is a Quantum/Canon Integration (QG-DIG-CXDI Integration System), refer to
Model QG-DIG-CXDI Canon/Quantum Integration Service Manual DC30-094 for sys-
tem interconnection and integration software installation instructions.
NEMA Standards Publication/No. XR8-1979(R1994), Test Methods for Diagnostic X-ray
Machines for Use During Initial Installation is recommended as a reference.
REQUIRED TOOLS AND MATERIALS
The following lists the tools and materials required to perform the procedures
contained in this chapter:
• Digital Voltmeter: Fluke Model 87 (or equivalent)
• Non-invasive kV, mAs, mR meter or Radcal Dynalyzer III (or equivalent)
• Oscilloscope, 50 Mhz storage: Tek 2210 (or equivalent)
• 5 CM, 10 CM, 15 CM, 25 and 30 CM acrylic phantoms (required for
calibrating systems equipped with QG-AEC option).
ACCESSING GENERATOR SERVICE TOOLS
The way in which the generator’s service tools are accessed differs depending on
the operator control panel configuration of the HF Series X-ray generator (i.e., if it
is equipped with either a Q-VISION operator control panel or a Workstation-based
operator control panel). However, once the service tools have been accessed, the
configuration and calibration screens are identical. Refer to the appropriate sec-
tion that follows depending on the type operator control panel your system uses.
Before starting, be sure the following steps have been performed:
1. If this is an integration system (i.e., generator is integrated with a workstation
computer for use as the operator control panel), ensure the DR system’s
Computer Workstation is properly connected to the generator, and the inte-
gration system software is installed and configured in accordance with the
instructions provided in the Integration Service Manual.
2. Ensure the Power/Expose Control Box (AY20-265) is properly connected to
the generator as described in Chapter 2, ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION.
3. Set the ON/OFF circuit breaker CB1 on the generator cabinet to ON position.
