    What does 'Cathode Volt' mean on Quantum QG-3200 Medical Equipment?
    • J
      Jessica PenaSep 9, 2025
      If your Quantum Medical Equipment displays 'Cathode Volt', it means that the filtered cathode volts are outside of preset limits. Visually inspect the Cathode Power Driver Module A19 (on the left side of the cabinet) for any signs of damage.

    What to do if READY LED is not illuminated on Quantum QG-3200 Medical Equipment?
    • V
      Virginia WallerAug 23, 2025
      If the READY LED is not illuminated on your Quantum Medical Equipment, check the following: * Ensure the Generator Cabinet ON/OFF Circuit Breaker is ON. * Set the ON/STDBY Rocker Switch on the OCP (non-Q-Connect Systems) or Power/Expose Control Box (Q-Connect Systems) to ON. * Check and reset the Facility electrical service if it has been interrupted. * If the filament automatically shuts off after 60 minutes of inactivity, press the PREP key. * If the exposure settings exceed the tube or model limits, refer to the appropriate error message. * For Non-Q-Connect Systems, check the serial cable connection between the OCP and generator cabinet and jumper settings on OCP Control Board (AY40-004S1).

    Why does my Quantum Medical Equipment display 'Anode Heat' or 'Housing Heat'?
    • A
      amanda74Aug 25, 2025
      If your Quantum Medical Equipment shows 'Anode Heat' or 'Housing Heat', it means that taking an exposure with the current settings could exceed the tube's maximum heat load capacity. To resolve this, reduce the technique factor(s) or wait until the tube cools down sufficiently before retaking the exposure.

    What causes 'Battery Discharged Battery 2 Discharged' error on Quantum QG-3200 and how to fix it?
    • N
      nramirezAug 26, 2025
      If your Quantum Medical Equipment displays 'Battery Discharged Battery 2 Discharged', connect a DMM to Line Monitor/ Charger Board A8 AY40-028T test point TP2 and ground to verify the voltage is +204 to +206 VDC. Also, connect a DMM between Line Monitor/Charger Board A8 test point TP3 and ground to verify the voltage is -204 to -206 VDC. This indicates a faulty stored energy cell or incorrect Line Monitor/Charger board adjustment.

    What does 'Tube Limits' mean on Quantum QG-3200 and how to resolve it?
    • B
      Brandon MitchellAug 27, 2025
      If your Quantum Medical Equipment displays 'Tube Limits', it means the backup time was reached because the current AEC technique factors exceeded the exposure tube limits. You should modify the technique factor(s), such as reducing kVp, and then retake the exposure.

    What to do if Quantum QG-3200 displays 'Battery Over-Charged Battery 2 Over-Charged'?
    • J
      jmathisAug 29, 2025
      If your Quantum Medical Equipment displays 'Battery Over-Charged Battery 2 Over-Charged', it indicates that the Line Monitor/Charger board is not adjusted correctly. To fix this, connect a DMM between Line Monitor/Charger Board AY40-028T test point TP2 and ground, and verify the voltage is +204 to +206 VDC.

    What does 'AEC No Bucky' mean on Quantum QG-3200?
    • K
      Kevin MclaughlinSep 18, 2025
      If your Quantum Medical Equipment displays 'AEC No Bucky', it means the AEC chamber is not selected or is not functioning properly. Check the operation of the selected ion chamber.

    What does 'Error - An error occurred while loading a view. Please check the APR tree.' mean on Quantum QG-3200?
    • T
      Tyler AndersonSep 18, 2025
      If your Quantum Medical Equipment displays 'Error - An error occurred while loading a view. Please check the APR tree.', load the APR editor and fix the issue. The error relates to loading a view's parameters, where {0} = Location (e.g., generator, collimator), {1} = AnatomicalRegion, {2} = ViewName, and {3} provides more details about the error.

    What to do if Quantum Medical Equipment shows 'No AEC Field Selected'?
    • W
      wigginscarrieSep 7, 2025
      If your Quantum Medical Equipment displays 'No AEC Field Selected', it means the AEC operating mode is selected, but no AEC Field is Selected. To resolve this, select the appropriate AEC Field(s) for the examination.

    What causes 'Rotor Temp' error on Quantum QG-3200?
    • S
      Susan SheaSep 4, 2025
      If your Quantum Medical Equipment displays 'Rotor Temp', it means the tube rotor is too hot and the tube thermal switch is activated. Check if the tube’s temperature switch is open.
