SECTION 3 SELF-DIAGNOSIS INDICATORS
Some Console are provided with Self-Diagnosis indicators that identify a
malfunction in the system alerting operator about error existence that inhibits
exposure. During normal operation of the system, these indicators are directly
shown on the Console (depending on the Console model they can be shown
on the APR Display, Console Indicators, Warning Messages Area, etc).
DOOR OPEN: Indicates the X-ray room door is open when the X-ray equipment
is in use. (Also refer to Error Code “E35”).
GENERATOR OVERLOAD: Indicates that the exposure has been interrupted
because during exposure has been produced arcing or bad function on the HV
circuitry (X-ray Tube, HV Transformer and/or HV Cables) or a failure of IGBT
module (overheated or defective IGBTs) has been detected. (Also refer to Error
Code “E09”).
It can be also shown making a high power and long exposure with the X-ray tube
cool (X-ray Tube has not been warmed-up).
TUBE OVERLOAD: Indicates that either the technique selected is beyond the
X-ray tube ratings or the present conditions of the X-ray tube inhibit the
exposure (anode overheated). Parameters for next exposure may be
temporally limited by the Generator (change the exposure values or wait for the
X-ray tube to cool). (Also refer t o Error Code “E37”).
Check that heat units available are lower than the calculated for the next
exposure. Reduce exposure factors or wait for the X-ray tube to cool.
ROTOR ERROR: Indicates that the X-ray tube anode is not rotating while
“Prep” is active, then exposures are inhibited. (Also refer to Error Code “E18”).
HEAT: Indicates that the X-ray Tube thermostat / pressurestat is open due to
overheating of the tube housing (housing is too hot, wait for the housing to cool)
or to a thermostat / pressurestat mal-function (housing is cool). Heat units may
raise to any value. (Also refer to Error Code “E36”).
