Connect the high-voltage cables as shown in the following table observing the important points
related to the connection of high-voltage cables. Keep the HV tank receptacles that are not
being used closed with caps (accessories).
CAUTION: If the polarity or tube numbers do not match, the X-ray tube units may be
damaged. Be sure to confirm that the connections are performed correctly.
The connection procedures that must be followed for Claymount high-voltage cables (HC-
150DC) at the time of installation or periodic maintenance are described below. (Steps (2)
to (4) are required at the time of installation only.)
(1) Clean the high-voltage cable plugs, the insides of the X-ray tube receptacles, and the
silicone plates thoroughly with absolute alcohol.
(2) Place ring nuts on the plugs. Polarity labels (+) and () should be attached on the
ring nuts in advance.
(3) Mount split flanges on the ring flange of the high-voltage cable and fix them with
screws.
(4) Apply silicone grease on a rubber gasket and place it over and around each plug (as
far as the ring flange).
(5) Apply silicone grease on both sides of the silicone plate and mount the silicone plate
on the tip of the plug. The purpose of application of silicone grease is to make the
surface of the silicone plate moist and smooth for better adherence. Apply a small
amount evenly. Do not apply the grease on the sides of the plug. Application of
grease to the sides could result in poor adherence of the silicone plate and in
deterioration of the withstand voltage.
(6) Insert and connect the plug (with the silicone plate mounted) into the receptacle and
tighten it with a ring nut.
(7) Tighten the setscrews of the ring nut securely. Use a hexagonal wrench for M3
headless setscrews (1.5 mm).

voltage cables following the procedure described below. Also, replace the silicone plate
with a new one when the cable bushing is pulled out. In addition, stick a label indicating
the date of replacement and scheduled date of next replacement on the plate.
(1) Confirm that the tips of the terminals of the high-voltage cable are straight. The
appropriate clearance between the tips of the terminal is 0.6 mm. ( 0.6 mm)
(2) If the bushing of the high-voltage cable and the inside of its receptacle seem to be
dirty, clean them thoroughly using a clean cloth. In particular, the area around the
electrode at the tip must be thoroughly cleaned.
(3) Apply silicone compound on the silicone plate. A thin uniform layer should be applied
to prevent deterioration of the withstand voltage due to damage on the plate surface.
CAUTION: Do not apply silicone compound to areas other than the silicone plate.
(4) Mount the silicone plate on the bushing head. The surface with the rounded edge
(marked R) must face outward as shown in the figure below.
(5) Insert the bushing head (with the silicone plate mounted) into the receptacle and
connect and tighten it.
Tightness of the connection must be ensured by tightening the flange and the
setscrews.

Direct feedback control is performed for the radiographic tube voltage using the output from the
bleeder inside the high-voltage transformer. Therefore, if the radiographic tube voltage has
been adjusted before shipment, further adjustment is not required.
Although the radiographic tube current is detected by the sensor inside the HV TANK, direct
feedback control is impossible due to the heat inertia of the X-ray tube filament.
[Adjustment steps]
NOTE: To perform further fine adjustment to the automatically adjusted value or to read the
heating data value, refer to subsection 11.7.
If the tube current does not rise within the specified time (0.8 s), perform preflash
adjustment referring to subsection 11.7.

CAUTION: x In order to protect the X-ray tube, provide an interval of at least three minutes
between large focus adjustment and small focus adjustment.
x In this unit, since smoothing of the high voltage is achieved using the stray
capacity of the high-voltage cable, if the high-voltage cable between the system
and the secondary tube current meter is too short, the current cannot be
measured correctly due to the large ripple. Therefore, when the tube current is
measured at the HV TANK side using the secondary tube current meter, a high-
voltage cable with a length of at least 15 m must be used to connect the system
to the secondary tube current meter.
Prior to automatic adjustment, check whether X-ray exposure is possible by performing a single
X-ray exposure.
(1) Set S5 on PWB1 to the TEST position to select adjustment mode. (Refer to subsection

When the unit is used as R/F system, fluoroscopic tube voltage adjustment is not required because
direct feedback control is performed using the bleeder output in the high-voltage transformer (as in
the case of radiography). However, it is necessary to adjust the fluoroscopic tube current.
Perform adjustment of fluoroscopic tube current according to the procedural flowchart shown
below.
Prior to automatic adjustment, check whether X-ray exposure is possible by performing a single
X-ray exposure.
(1) Set S5 on PWB1 to the TEST position to select adjustment mode. (Refer to subsection
9.6.6.)
(2) Select the SPOT technique. To perform actual display of the tube voltage and tube
current, set bit 2 of 8-bit DIP switch S2 on PWB1 to ON.
(6) The detected tube voltage and tube current values are displayed on the X-ray control
panel.
Since this step is performed to check whether X-ray exposure is possible, it is acceptable
when the detected values of the X-ray tube voltage and tube current are displayed on the
X-ray control panel.
56
No. 2C314-089E
(7) Set bit 1 of 8-bit DIP switch S2 on PWB1 to ON (automatic adjustment mode).
At this time, the message code "-2-" is displayed in the fluoroscopic cumulative time
display section of the X-ray control panel.
(8) Press and hold down the fluoroscopy button or the fluoroscopy footswitch.
(9) Since the X-ray high-voltage generator changes the filament current to automatically
acquire data, hold down the fluoroscopy button or the fluoroscopy footswitch till automatic
adjustment is completed.
(10) When automatic adjustment is completed, the message code "H77", indicating the
completion of adjustment, is displayed in the fluoroscopic cumulative time display section
of the X-ray control panel. When this message code is displayed, the fluoroscopy button
or the fluoroscopy footswitch can be released. If the message code "H66" is displayed,
adjustment was not completed successfully. In this case, repeat the adjustment
procedures.
(11) Since the fluoroscopic focus is fixed to small, the other focus sizes cannot be adjusted.
The reset operation can be performed by operating CPU reset switch S3 or by pressing
the power ON switch.
[Check]
(14) Check the detected values at the following points by following the procedures described
in (1) to (5) above.
CAUTION: After adjustment is completed, perform all the required settings to return
the system back to normal mode from adjustment mode.
NOTE: If the small tube current (0.5 to 1.0 mA) cannot be adjusted, the preheating may
be too high.
Reduce the preheating by 0.100 mA for both the small focus and the large
focus, reset the system, and the perform automatic adjustment again.

CAUTION: If a bleeder is connected, the display on the mA meter <1> does not match

Therefore;
Note: When the bleeder is removed, the detected RmA value approaches the value

CAUTION: Unlike the existing system, parallel connection using a free receptacle
(example: TUBE2) cannot be performed for the bleeder. Therefore,
connect the bleeder as shown in the figure above. In addition, in this unit
smoothing of the high voltage is achieved using the stray capacity of the
high-voltage cable. Therefore, if the high-voltage cable connecting
between the system and the secondary tube current meter is too short, the
current cannot be measured correctly due to the large ripple. When the
tube current is measured at the HV TANK side using the secondary tube
current meter, a high-voltage cable with a length of at least 15 m must be
used to connect between the system and the secondary tube current
meter. This cable is not required when measurement is performed at the
X-ray tube side.

and that the buzzer stops when the switch on the X-ray control panel is pressed.
(3) Confirm that when the switch is pressed again, the fluoroscopic cumulative time
display is cleared.
(4) Confirm that the fluoroscopic cumulative time display is within the permissible fluoroscopic
cumulative time display error range referring to the adjustment accuracy list given in
subsection 11.2.
When this unit is to be used for R/F systems, adjust the automatic brightness control (ABC)
function after completing adjustment for fluoroscopy.
ABC is classified into F-ABC, which uses an I.I. photo pickup detector, and video ABC, which
uses a video signal. When the MTV-100A is used in combination, use F-ABC to perform
adjustment.
The adjustment procedures are described below. Before performing ABC adjustment,
adjustment of the auto iris of the patient table must have been completed.
(1) Connect the video output signal of the TV camera to an oscilloscope and check the SYNC
level (approximately 0.3 V) and the pedestal (approximately 0.1 V) of the video signal.
(Oscilloscope range: 0.1 V/div, 2 ms/div)
(3) Set the SID (distance between the focus and the I.I. input surface) as follows.
Leave as is for fixed type systems. For FFD (distance between the focus and the
film) adjustable systems, set the FFD to 110 cm.

Note 2: Errors E52, E53, and E55, which occur during arcing of the X-ray tube, are automatically reset
when the fluoroscopy switch or the radiography switch is released. Note that if an X-ray tube
arcing error occurs three times, the error is not automatically reset.

In addition to automatic adjustment, the tube current can be adjusted manually using the switches
on the PWB1.
Set the rotary switches to the tube current adjustment settings referring to the rotary switch
table given in subsection 11.1.
The preheating data of the tube and the focus setting in the X-ray control panel can be
adjusted.
CAUTION: The adjusted data becomes effective the next time the system is started up;
therefore, be sure to reset the system after adjusting the preheating data.
CAUTION: The fluoroscopic main heating data cannot be adjusted at points other than the
above.
The fluoroscopic main heating data is calculated by interpolation for points other
than the above. However, the adjustments become effective only next time the
system is started up. Therefore, be sure to reset the system after adjustment is
completed.
If the radiographic tube current is to be adjusted manually, set the rotary switches for tube
current adjustment referring to the rotary switch table given in subsection 11.1.
The heating data of the tube and the focus setting in the X-ray control panel can be
adjusted.
CAUTION: The radiographic main heating data cannot be adjusted at points other than the
above.
The radiographic main heating data is calculated by interpolation for points other
than the above.

This adjustment is required only when the radiographic tube current does not rise within the
specified time.
Preflash is required to speed up heating of the X-ray tube filament and is performed after
the READY button is pressed but before main heating starts.

Heating level

READY "ON"
The preflash time for this unit is fixed and the amount of preflash is calculated using the
preflash coefficient. Therefore, preflash level adjustment is performed by changing the
preflash coefficient.
Preflash coefficient curves are generated using preflash coefficients at three points: the
maximum filament current point, the minimum filament current point, and the point halfway
between them (intermediate filament current point).
The three preflash coefficients PRF1, PRF2, and PRF3 are selected by the setting switch.
Preflash coefficient
Tube current (mA)
PRF3 PRF
PRF
PRF2 PRF1
The method for identifying the point to be adjusted (PRF 1 to 3) is described below.
Plot the X-ray conditions for the preflash level to be adjusted on the tube current
characteristics curve. If the filament current at this time is close to the maximum point,
adjust PRF1. Similarly, adjust PRF2 or PRF3 if the filament current is close to the
intermediate point or the minimum point, respectively.
98
No. 2C314-089E
If none of the above three points is applicable and the filament current is between the
minimum point and the intermediate point, adjust both PRF3 and PRF2. Similarly, if the
filament current is between the intermediate point and the maximum point, adjust PRF2 and
PRF1.
CAUTION: If the preflash level is too low or high, increase or reduce PRF1, PRF2, and PRF3
equally. Then, adjust PRF3 if the tube current is small and PRF1 if the tube
current is large.
The preflash level must be adjusted separately for the large focus and the small
focus.
