1 Apr 23, 1996 The original Service Note, SN 4011 did not cover all existing models of the
Imageur 16. SN 4011A gives the procedure to follow in the event of II tube
replacement according to Imageur model.
APPLIES TO:
All Hyperlux 16 (16-cm/6-inch) and Imageur 16 (16-cm/6-inch) models.
PURPOSE:
The II tube TH9448 F H506, Part No. 45066699 has been replaced by the II tube TH9449 HP H506,
Part No. 2120442.
Special features of II tube TH9449 HP H506 are:
All-metal tube.
No G3 electrode (no field diameter adjustment).
The G2 electrode voltage range is greater (1.8 kV to 2.3 kV, instead of 0.8 kV to 1.2 kV for the
TH9448 F H506).
PROBLEM:
The voltage range of the G2 electrode is no longer compatible with the voltage range provided by the
TH7191 high voltage power supply (HVPS) (Part No. 58079229) or with the Brandenburg HVPS (Part
No. 45066585).
SOLUTION:
This Service Note describes the procedure to follow according to the model of Hyperlux 16 or
Imageur 16 considered.

CAUTION Solder the old G3 connector to the G2 electrode of the new II tube TH9449HP.
2. Connect the G2 electrode of the new II tube to the G3 connector of the HVPS
(see Illustration 1).
3. Connect the other electrodes to the corresponding connectors of the HVPS. The G2 output from
the HVPS is now unconnected.
4. Install the remaining old G2 connector to the HVPS at the G2 output.
5. Adjust the vg2 (LV) Control Voltage of the HVPS to 0 V, using the following potentiometers:
S Imageur 16 for Stenoscop pick-up tube: R5 on Power Supply and Interco Board.
S Imageur 16 for Stenoscop CCD: R4 on CCD Interface Board.
6. Set the vg3 (LV) voltage to obtain the VG2 (HV) voltage corresponding to that shown in the
Inspection Acceptance Report for the new II tube, using the following potentiometers:
S Imageur 16 Stenoscop pick-up tube: R2, on Power Supply and Interco Board.
S Imageur 16 Stenoscop CCD: R7, on CCD Interface Board.
Use the following equation: vg2 1 VG2 1300 vg2 = low voltage
1300
VG2 = high voltage

7. Set the vg1(LV) voltage to obtain the VG1 (HV) voltage corresponding to that shown in the
Inspection Acceptance Report for the new II tube, using the following potentiometers:
S Imageur 16 for Stenoscop pick-up tube: R8, on Power Supply and Interco Board.
S Imageur 16 for Stenoscop CCD: R1, on CCD Interface Board.
Use the following equation: vg1 1 VG1 40 vg1 = low voltage
