Daily X-Ray Tube Seasoning Procedure
Follow the manufacturer’s tube warm up procedure to extend the useful life of the
x-ray tube. It is important to slowly warm the tube target before using it if the unit has
been idle for three hours or longer.
Fault Indications
If a fault occurs in your system you will get a fault condition message on your
screen. Three types of fault conditions can generate a message:
• X-ray generator
• Exposure button
• AEC related errors
To reset any fault condition, press the button adjacent to <RESET> on the screen.
However, some faults may require servicing of the equipment.
Generator Fault Messages:
A generator fault may be displayed as one of the following messages:
• mA-FAULT
• kV-FAULT
• COMMUNICATION FAULT
Repeated instances of the above error messages will require that you discontinue
use of the generator and notify service personnel. These messages indicate that the
equipment should be inspected and serviced by authorized personnel only.
Button Fault Errors:
An exposure button fault will occur if you release either the PREP or X-RAY buttons
during x-ray exposure (before the generator or AEC terminates the exposure).
Exposure button errors may be cleared by pressing the reset button. If this fault
continues to occur, please notify your service personnel.
