AEC Error Messages:
If an AEC exposure terminates improperly, one of two faults will be displayed:
AEC Exposure Termination Faults
Backup mAs Termination
Exposure was terminated by the AEC mAs backup
circuitry, possibly a problem requiring service.
Check to make sure that the selected backup mAs
has been properly set to a value two to three times
the expected exposure value. Repeated errors
should be reported to your service organization
and use of the AEC should be discontinued.
Generator Termination of
Exposure
Exposure was terminated by the generator before
the AEC terminated the exposure. This indicates
either that the mAs selected on the generator
control was less than the requirements for the
exposure or that the operator released the
exposure switch prematurely. Should either occur,
press the <RESET> button and make the
appropriate correction to permit another exposure.
