OPERATING SEQUENCES
4.1 START UP ROUTINE
System power is applied by switching the “Power On” on the side of the Control Console. After the power
up has been completed the console should display normal radiographic factors. If there is a malfunction or
overload selection (accidentally turning dials to where an error condition exists) examine the error condition
and follow directions. See Table 3-2.
4.2 X-RAY TUBE WARM-UP PROCEDURE
Before effecting X-ray exposures ensure that the tube is properly
warmed up. Make sure that no persons will be inadvertently
exposed to unnecessary X-rays during this procedure.
Routine exposures should not be affected unless the tube is previously warmed-up, this prolongs X-ray tube
life.
It is recommended that the following procedure will be performed for X-ray tube warm-up, at the start of each
day and when the tube has not been in use for approximately one hour.
The warm-up procedure is used for a typical X-ray tube. Consult
the X-ray tube manufacturer instructions for the actual tube in use,
comparing its recommendations with this procedure. If there is
conict with this procedure, comply with the Tube manufacturer’s
instructions.
