Need help?Do you have a question about the Teledyne CP Series and is the answer not in the manual?
The CP Series is a new line of portable X-ray generators from ICM, designed for non-destructive testing and security applications. This series includes models such as the CP160D, CP200D, CP225D, CP300D, CP300C, and CP200DS, extending ICM's range of constant potential generators from 160kV up to 300kV. The CP160D/CP200D/CP225D/CP300D models offer a maximum power output of 900 Watts, while the CP300C and CP200DS have a maximum anode power dissipation of 750 Watts. The generators are characterized by their lightweight and rugged design, making them easy to handle even in challenging conditions.
The CP Series generators offer a wide range of output kilovolt (kV) and milliampere (mA) settings. For CP160D, the kV range is 10 to 160, and mA range is 1 to 10. CP200D and CP200DS operate from 10 to 200kV, with mA ranges of 1 to 10 and 0.5 to 10 respectively. CP225D has a kV range of 10 to 225 and mA range of 1 to 10. CP300D and CP300C operate from 30 to 300kV, with mA ranges of 1 to 10. Tube current stability for all models is less than 0.5%. All models boast a 100% duty cycle at 30°C ambient temperature. Steel penetration at maximum kV and power ranges from 29mm (CP160D) to 66mm (CP300D). The total weight (excluding hand rings) varies from 11.9kg (CP160D) to 27.6kg (CP300D). Overall dimensions (excluding hand rings) are Ø 140 x 695mm for CP160D, Ø 140 x 715mm for CP200D, Ø 140 x 725mm for CP225D, Ø 180 x 862mm for CP300D, Ø 180 x 835mm for CP300C, and Ø 140 x 669mm for CP200DS. Leakage dose at 1 meter at full output is 2.0 mSv/h for D-models and <5.0 mSv/h for C-models. The dimension of the optical focal spot (EN12543) is 3.0mm (~1.5 IEC 336) for D-models and 5.5 x 0.5mm for CP300C, and 1.0mm (~0.5 IEC 336) for CP200DS. The maximum useful angle of the X-ray directional beam is 60 x 40 elliptical for all models, except for the CP300D which is N.A. The CP300D has a maximum useful angle of X-ray panoramic beam of 360 x 40. Tube inherent filtration is 0.8(Be) for most models, with CP300D having 0.4(Ni) + 3.5(Al). All models are IP65 weather protected. Working temperature ranges from -30 to +60°C, and storage temperature from -40 to +70°C.
The CP Series operates with a PowerBox control unit and a PowerModule. The PowerBox supplies 380Vdc to the PowerModule, which then generates the necessary power signals for high voltage and mA in the generator. Each generator has a unique memory storing vital information like serial number, exposure listings, operational parameters, and failure data. This allows for easy "in the field" repairs, as PowerBox and PowerModule can be swapped without configuration or calibration. Data from the generator's memory can be extracted to a USB drive for analysis. The generators feature guard rings for easy manipulation, positioning, and shock absorption. A carousel/diaphragm (not for CP300C) offers five positions: Shutter, Laser pointer, Beryllium window, Full open with 3mm aluminum filter, and a custom window (standard 480x100). The generator automatically detects the selected carousel position. Exposures are not possible if the carousel is between positions or in the pointer position. The Beryllium window is restricted to exposures below 50kV. The laser pointer aids in aligning the generator to the inspection area and automatically switches off after 20 seconds.
The PowerBox features a user-friendly interface with a main and secondary display, alphanumeric keys, and dedicated keys for time, mA, kV, and constant power (Pct). It includes START (green) and STOP (red) buttons, a main power switch, and a safety key switch. The Constant Power function automatically sets the mA to the maximum possible value for the selected kV. The PowerBox monitors input power voltage and frequency, automatically stopping exposures if parameters are out of range to prevent damage. It can be powered from the main grid, a power generator (2 kVA or greater), or a car/truck battery with a DC to AC inverter. Preheating/warm-up is an automatic procedure required after 8 hours of idle time to re-establish vacuum levels. The PowerBox calculates the required preheating time based on last exposure kV, idle time, and set kV. The preheating time is limited to 60 minutes and is not required for kV settings up to 60kV. A conditioning procedure replaces preheating if the generator has been unused for more than 6 months. The PowerBox menu allows navigation through various settings, including exposure calculation, memory access, and system settings. Exposure calculation is an optional feature that automatically determines required kV or exposure time based on material, film type, density, thickness, and FFD. Custom charts can be added for specific materials and film types. Memory access allows storing, recalling, and deleting exposure settings. Settings include changing the SuperUser code, door control, lamp control, interlock configuration, Bluetooth connectivity, date and time, language, software updates, screen brightness, carousel control, kV and time limitations, generator lamp behavior, fan mode, and pre-warning time.
The carousel should be cleaned with compressed air if it seizes; no lubricants should be used as parts are permanently impregnated. The main cooling fan should have at least 1 meter of obstruction-free space for optimal performance. Accumulated dust on the cooling fan or heat-sink should be cleaned with compressed air. The generator's memory stores up to 5000 exposures and system information, which can be downloaded to a USB drive for failure analysis. The interconnection socket can be switched between axial and radial positions for convenience. The PowerBox handle can be locked in positions for easy carrying or use as a table stand. USB ports (master and slave) allow for software upgrades, language imports, and downloading data records. The RS422 port offers advanced remote control and communication with computerized systems.
