XRV Generator Installation:
General:
Locate the XRV Generator in an area where there is limited access and in close proximity to the X-ray
tube load. The Generator must have adequate clearance for the intake air filter and exhaust fan. Make
sure the area is a dry and dust free location. The X-ray tube load must be located within an interlocked
secure lead shielded enclosure that prevents unauthorized access when in use. Typical distances from
the X-ray tube to the Generator range from 5 meters to 20 meters depending on the length of the high
voltage cable. Installation and maintenance of the high voltage cable is extremely important to prevent
damage to both the X-ray tube and XRV Generator cable sockets. Locate the high voltage cables away
from high traffic areas and the input power cables. Use a minimum of #10 copper grounding wire and
#10 ring lugs when grounding any of the subsystem components. Make sure to use the proper crimping
tool for the ring lug used. Keep the ground distances as short as possible from the XRV Generator and
earth ground. Review the label on the rear of the XRV Generator to for the correct installation of the
input voltage. Incorrect input voltage will damage the XRV Generator.
System Grounding:
All of the subsystem components are required to be connected earth ground. Install all of the
system components in the desired location. Cabling should be as short as possible Use a minimum of
#10 AWG insulated copper stranded wire for the XRV Generator, X-ray tube, cooler/chiller, I/O Box and
Controller. Strip and crimp the wire on to a #10 Ring Lug using the proper crimping tool. Ensure that the
crimp is tight and does not pull out of the lug. Remove the ground connection nut from the X-ray tube
and place the ring lug over the threaded connection. Replace the nut and torque to the manufacturer’s
specification. Connect the opposite end of the wire to the rear panel ground of the XRV Generator
