System Test
9.0 System Test
Consult the Instructions for Use for information on the daily operational checklist.
1. Turn on the system and verify that the system performs a calibration with-
out displaying an error message.
2. Check that an appropriate image and corresponding graphic overlay are
displayed on the monitor (depends on the selected transducer and user
presets).
3. Check the system time and date, and reset it if necessary.
4. Functionally test all operator controls and indicators, including the foot-
switch (if installed), the alphanumeric keyboard, and the MO disk drive.
5. Always check the transducers, even if the customer has not signed a main-
tenance contract for them. Replacement depends upon the type of mainte-
nance contract.
6. For each transducer, verify that the transducer identification and operating
frequency are correctly displayed when the transducer is connected.
7. Perform a scan on a phantom with each transducer, and evaluate the
image quality.
• While scanning, flex the cable at the strain relief and verify that the
image quality is not affected.
• Check array transducers for signs of dropout (dark columns emanating
into the image).
• Check sector transducers for signs of image flickering.
8. Check the FREEZE function using all applicable transducers, the control
panel, and the footswitch.
9. Always check peripheral devices (OEMs), even if the customer has not
signed a maintenance contract for them. The check should also include
cleaning and optimization of settings if necessary. Replacement depends
upon the type of maintenance contract. For information about operating
and cleaning of OEM peripheral devices, refer to the respective OEM oper-
ating instructions.
10. Verify the operation of the Black and White Video Printer; freeze an image
and perform a test print. If necessary, clean the print head and test the
printer again. If necessary, optimize the printer settings according to the
customer guidance. Refer to the OEM operating instructions for detailed
information on optimizing printer settings.
11. Check any other installed OEMs. If necessary, clean the OEM, and opti-
mize the settings.
12. Check system preset data, and restore from the disk if necessary.
13. Check the protective ground wire again. For detailed information refer to
ARTD-002.731.17.01.02 (or newer).
