PXS-710D Section 3
55
3.3.1 CONTINUED:
9) Depress the “X-Ray Switch” to the second position for immediate
exposure. An audio tone will sound in addition to the “X-Ray”
indicator illuminating for the duration of the exposure. Releasing
the “X-Ray” switch prior to the pre-selected interval will terminate
the exposure, light the “FAULT” Indicator and display a fault
condition (Ref. Table 5.2).
NOTES:
Unless the x-ray generator is going to be immediately used again,
the “Power ON” switch should be turned off. Leaving the unit
turned on provides opportunity for an accidental operation.
If the unit is going to be operated again, an automatic inhibit circuit
will allow the x-ray tube to cool in proportion to the exposure time
to prevent damage to the x-ray tube from overheating. At the end
of this cycle the “Ready” light will illuminate indicating an
exposure can be made.
3.4 FAULTS:
The PXS-710D, when it encounters a Fault condition, will alert the user.
There are three ways a unit Fault may be displayed to the User.
1) Fault Indicator on Generator/Control Panel.
2) Fault Indicator on optional Remote Control SR-115-RC. A Fault Code is also
displayed in the kVp display to indicate the fault. Ref Fig 3.3 & Table 5.2
3) Fault Reporting via the RS-232 Host Control interface. Please reference the
PXS-710D Control interface documentation.
All Faults may be Reset by Cycling AC Power to the Unit.
For Item #2, The Optional Remote Control Provides a ‘RESET’ button.
For Item #3, a Command may be sent from the Host to reset the PXS-710D.
