 10. CHECKING THE INSTALLATION

CAUTION
When assembly and all connections are completed, the installer must check the electrical
safety and function of the system for compliance.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Checking the configuration

Check on the control panel that all LEDs corresponding to the required configuration are lit;
otherwise, change them.
(Refer to section. 7 “SYSTEM CONFIGURATION” and section.8 “CHANGING THE
CONFIGURATION”.)

2. Checking the x-ray control operation

a. Verify the correct operation of the control panel by selecting different exposure times
b. Verify the time on the display
c. When changing the selected radiographic unit, check that the corresponding external
RX signal lamps (if installed) turn on.

3. Checking the exposure: CAUTION! Radiation will be emitted.

a. Set an exposure time of 1 sec

b. Lift the "CONTROL BUTTON" on the x-ray control
c. Using the extensible cable of the “CONTROL BUTTON”, keep a safe distance (length
of the cable) or at least 2 meters (7 feet) from the radiographic unit, to check the
radiographic exposure.

d. Press the “X-RAY KEY” and keep it pressed until the acoustic signal (beep)

stops and the yellow “X-RAY OUTPUT SIGNAL” Led turns off.

PLEASE NOTE
If the “EXPOSURE BUTTON” is released early, the exposure is immediately
interrupted and the E12 error message appears on the display.

e.
At the end of the exposure, verify the operation of the Led “PAUSE INDICATOR”

f. Verify on the display the indication of the actual exposure time

(Refer to section 11.4 “EXPOSURE TIME (sec)”)

following:

a. There are no errors.

b. The LED (AC or DC) of the selected radiographic unit is lit.
c. The "CONTROL BUTTON" LED is lit over the duration of the acoustic signal.

5. Checking the power drawn by the radiographic system: CAUTION! Radiation will

Ammeter in “AC”

a. Connect the instrument to the power supply line

(refer to section 5.9 “X-RAY CONTROL ELECTRICAL CONNECTION”)
b. Set an exposure time of approx. 3 sec. on the x-ray control.
∗ ®
b. If using an xgenus dc, set 70kV-8mA-3.2s on the x-ray control.

PLEASE NOTE
The radiographic system complies with the requirements when:

the current drawn is ≤ 8A for line voltage of 115V

∗
the current drawn is ≤ 12.5A for line voltage of 115V

Otherwise, check the electrical system or call for “Technical Assistance”.

6. Checking the electrical system

To check the electrical system, a meter must be used, with the Voltmeter in “AC” mode.

a. Connect the instrument to the terminals L and N on the x-ray control

b. Measure the line voltage (load voltage V0)
c. Connect the instrument to the terminals L and N of the wall plate terminal board
(refer to section 5.5 – fig.11 - “CONNECTION TO THE TERMINAL BOARD”)

∗ ®
d. If using an xgenus dc, set 70kV-8mA-3.2s on the x-ray control.
e. Release the exposure
f. Measure the line voltage during exposure (load voltage V1)

PLEASE NOTE
The electric system complies with the requirements when the result of the formula is
as follows:
∗ ∗∗
(V0 – V1 ) / V0 ≤ 0.03 or 0.012

Otherwise, the electric system must be adjusted

4. Exposure time (s)

The exposure time is measured with a “non invasive” instrument.

∗∗
PLEASE NOTE
The “xgenus” x-ray control features the "self-compensating" technology.
The automatic correction or compensation of the exposure time offsets the effects of the
line voltage fluctuations on x-ray film quality.
Radiographic over/under exposure is eliminated.
The automatic correction system works as follows:
• A voltmeter located inside the timer constantly reads the mains voltage
while the operator selects the required exposure time.
• The last voltage measured (before the exposure) is sent to the
microprocessor. The selected exposure time is corrected to voltage by
applying a special algorithm.
• At the end of the exposure, during the pause time, the time-corrected value
is shown on the display of the x-ray control.
THE PAUSE TIME IS APPROX. 32 TIMES THE SET TIME.
The correct time is the actual duration of the exposure

The accuracy of the “actual time” is factory checked with instrument PMX-I.

The EXPOSURE TIME measured is: 0.2s ±10% for “xgenus ac”

∗∗
5. Checking the exposure time (continued on p. 45: “Operating instructions”)

WARNING
While performing periodic quality checks, some differences between the set exposure time and
the measured exposure time may be detected.
The differences are due to the automatic time compensation that intervenes when the power
voltage differs from the nominal one.

The x-ray control is provided with two types of accuracy measurements for the exposure time:

A. Set exposure (is the exposure time set by the operator on the x-ray control).

The max error is +100% / - 100% when the voltage fluctuation is -5% / +10%.

B. After exposure: it’s the exposure duration (automatically adjusted). It’s calculated by the
microprocessor according to the line voltage, and it’s shown on the display.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:

CAUTION
Radiations will be emitted.

To check the exposure times (sec) it is advisable to use calibrated “non invasive” instruments;
i.e.:
NERO by Victoreen
PMX by RTI
TRIAD QA by Keithley
a. Put the “X-ray detector” at the cone outlet; center the primary beam.
b. Turn on the x-ray control
c. Set one exposure time on the control.
d. Release the exposure.
e. At the end of the exposure, when the functional pause period starts, read the actual time of
exposure on the display.
f. To check the accuracy of the exposure time, use the chart below.

CONFORMITY CHECK CHART

At the end of the exposure

read the time value

1° = Actual exposure time
on the display

read the measure

2° = Emission time measure
on the instrument

3° subtract 1° from 2°

4° divide 3° by 2° = Absolute error

5° multiply 4° by 100 = Percentage error (%)

The accuracy is checked when the

by adopting the most favorable
% of error is ±10% o ±20msec
condition.

PLEASE NOTE
The exposure time complies with the requirements when:

((Measured time – Actual time) / Measured time)) x 100 ≤ ±10% or ±20 ms

Otherwise, please contact “Technical Support”.
