3. ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION

3.1 Wall Mounted Systems
3.1.1 Installation Options
The timer box can be mounted together with the X-ray head on the right of the wall adaptor or can be
placed remote either inside or outside the examination room. The release hand-switch can be directly
connected to the timer box or placed remote making use of specific mounting kit including 10 m cable. A
door contact and/or a second exposure button can be added via the internal socket on the timer board.
3.1.2 Unpacking
Unpack the components of the system and check the following:
T1 T2 T3
A Each item is in good conditions and was not damaged during
transportation.
B All the items for the desired system configuration are available.
C The line voltage on the labels of timer and X-ray head are
corresponding to the local line voltage.
3.1.3 Structural Requirements
The wall adaptor has to be mounted in a convenient position on left or
right side of the chair or on back wall (head of the patient).
The maximum useful reach is of 208 cm (81.9”) from the wall when using
an 100 cm (39.4”) support arm.
The wall adaptor can be mounted with 2, 4, or 6 bolts, depending on wall
quality.
A Two bolts only (top and bottom central holes – T2, B2) are used when
there is a solid slim column (e.g. iron mounting) with weak sides (e.g.
wooden wall). Considering the requested safety factor, the top bolt
has to withstand a load of 8878 N, comprehensive of a safety factor,
i.e. about 2013 lbs or 906 kg. Proper screw to be selected for a solid B3
connection to the wall. Classes ISO 8.8 (M 8, M 8x1, M 8x1.25) or SAE B1 B2
Grade 5 (5/16” 18UNC, 5/16” 24 UNF) are recommended.
B Four bolts, two on top sides (T1, T3) and two on bottom sides (B1,
B3) is the regular mounting for solid (concrete) wall, but also on large metal plate. Considering the
requested safety factor, each bolt at top has to withstand a load of 4439 N, comprehensive of a safety
factor, i.e. about 1007 lbs or 453 kg.
Proper expansion screw to be selected for a solid connection to the concrete wall; the permissible load
of each screw has to be greater than 308 lbs (about 140 kg).
 On solid concrete use heavy duty metal anchors.
 On hollow bricks use injection chemical fixing.
C Six bolts, three on top (T1, T2, T3) and three at bottom (B1, B2, B3) are required when the wall is not
solid enough and the load has to be distributed on more points. Considering the requested safety
factor, each bolt at top has to withstand a load of 2959 N, comprehensive of a safety factor, i.e. about
671 lbs or 302 kg.
In case the wall is not in condition to withstand the indicated load, corrective actions can be evaluated by
adoption of reinforcing plates:
D Large plate to fit vertical supports at 16” distance, with 4 mounting holes and one cable opening for
the wall mount in the middle.
E In case of a thin (wooden) wall not solid enough, the use of a steel counter plate 2 mm thick can be
the solution. Make sure that the wall is solid enough to carry the load.
F The use of two reinforcing steel plates of about 4 times the surface of the wall adaptor, one by each
side of the wall, can help when a single plate looks not adequate; additional bolts have to be used to
hold together the two plates.
Make sure that the wall is solid enough to carry the load.

at 60 Hz).
C If dose at 0.2 s is 1/10 of dose at 2 s, the value set for PHT is fine.
D If dose at 0.2 s is lower than 1/10 of the dose at 2 s, PHT has to be increased. Proceed at steps of 20
ms until fine.
E If dose at 0.2 s is higher than 1/10 of the dose at 2 s, PHT has to be reduced. Proceed at steps of 20
ms until fine.

5. MEASUREMENTS
All measurements to be done with the equipment supplied at nominal line voltage with specified line
resistance. The tolerances on the measured values have to take into account the precision of each
measurement instrument. Measurements have to be done by trained personnel only to avoid the risk of
electrical shock.
5.1 Line Voltage
The Line voltage can be measured using a Volt Meter for Alternate Current within the proper range. A
service function can be activated on the timer to display the current line voltage in V and frequency in Hz
(see section 4.8 of this Manual).
5.2 Anode Voltage – KVp
The kVp level is the actual peak value of the Anode voltage which stabilizes once the preheating time of
the filament has elapsed (in about 0.2 s) and the high voltage transformer is actually loaded. The kVp level
can be measured with a non-invasive kVp meter placed in front of the BLD following the instructions in the
user manual of the instrument. A correct measure can be done with an exposure time of 500 ms or more
having introduced a delay of the reading instrument of about 300 ms to allow the voltage level to stabilize
after the pre-heating time has elapsed.
5.3 Anode Current – mA
WARNING. To prevent high voltage shock make sure
the system is disconnected from the power supply
when connections to the measurement points are
performed. Electric discharge might occur in case of improper
operation. A1
The Anode current in mA is the actual average value of the
tube current which raises when the filament has warmed-up,
after the pre-heating time has elapsed.
Remove the back cover of the tube-head, disconnect the
jumper A1-A2 and replace it with a resistor of 1000 Ohm.
The anode current can be read with a DC voltmeter connected A2
to points A1 and A2, with the 1 V corresponding to 1 mA.
After the measurement disconnect the 1000 Ohm resistor and
put back the jumper.
5.4 Exposure Time
Here below the timing indications in s (R10 scale) and line pulses at 50 and 60 Hz for each value of
exposure factor in mAs for tubehead at 3.5 mA.
mAs Pulses Pulses mAs Pulses Pulses
@3.5 mA s 50 Hz 60 Hz @3.5 mA s @50 Hz @60 Hz

0.35 0,10 5 6 2.80 0,80 40 48
0.42 0,12 6 7 3.50 1,00 50 60
0.56 0,16 8 10 4.40 1,25 62 75
0.70 0,20 10 12 5.60 1,60 80 96

1.40 0,40 20 24 11.2 3,20 160 192
The actual exposure (loading) time is “determined as the time interval between the instant when the tube
current first rises above the 25% of its maximum value and the instant when it finally falls below the same
value”.
In order to assure the requested exposure time (irradiation), the pre-heating time of the insert used, which
has been set-up at installation, is taken into consideration. The actual switch-on time (SOT) of the X-ray
head assembly is therefore the sum of the filament pre-heating time (PHT) and of the requested exposure
time (RET).
SOT = PHT + RET
The measurement of the exposure time can be done with kVp & Time meters with the ability to trigger at
75% of maximum kV level.

24/32 69 550 70210 150715

FONA XDG – Service & Installation Manual
Exposure time can also be measured after having connected a resistor of 1000 Ohm between points A1
and A2 on the small circuit board on the back of the X-ray head, by monitoring the voltage across it (tube
current) with an oscilloscope, and counting the number of pulses in the time interval.
When the function to correct the effects of line fluctuations on the emitted X-ray dose is activated, the
exposure time is corrected in order to assure dose consistency. When the actual line voltage is lower than
the nominal line voltage, the actual exposure time is increased. Conversely, when the actual line voltage is
higher than the nominal line voltage, the actual exposure time is decreased.
Do disable this correction function (dip switch number 1 of SW2 moved to OFF position) to verify exposure
time accuracy.
5.5 Leakage Radiation
The value of leakage radiation of the X-ray tube assembly is measured at 1 m distance taking into account
the energy provided in 1 hour. In case the measurement is performed at a distance different from 1 m, the
value has to be properly corrected.
The applicable technique factors for FONA XDG are of 70 kV and 3.5 mA. The point of maximum leakage
has to be considered, excluding the direction of the primary beam. The duty cycle factor has also to be
taken into account for the computation of the actual dose rate. In case for example a measure is done at
50 cm distance from the source with an exposure of 1 s, the following computations have to be performed:
 A duty cycle of 1/15 means maximum of 1 s exposure every 15 s, i.e. 240 s per hour.
 Dose at 100 cm is computed taking into account the inverse square law, i.e. at twice the distance the
dose intensity is reduced to one quarter. D1h100cm = D1s50cm * 240 * (50/100)2 = D1s50cm * 60
where: D1s50cm is the dose measured at 50 cm with 1 s exposure
and D1h100cm is the dose computed at 1 m distance for the energy of 1 hour.
5.6 Earth Resistance
The measurement of the earth resistance to be done after having disconnected the system for the power
supply line. Using a voltage generator of not more than 6 V, 50/60 Hz, a current of 25 A is applied from 5 s
to 10 s through the earth terminal in the connecting block of the timer to any metal part which can be in
touch to the patient/operator (applied part). The voltage drop is then measured and the earth resistance
computed. The system complies for values up to 0,1  (extended to 0,2  in case of mobile system).
5.7 Earth Leakage
Connect the Timer to the measuring circuit as
shown in the figure (R1=10 k  5%, R2=1
k  1%, C1=0,015 F 5%)
A Set the input supply voltage (Vp) equal to
110% of the nominal supply voltage.
B Connect a voltmeter (Vx with 1 MOhm input
impedance) to the indicated points
C Switch the Timer “ON”
D Make two measures in Normal Conditions
(NC with S1 “ON”)
 S5 “ON”: live and neutral conductors in
normal condition.
 S5 “OFF”: swap of live and neutral
conductors.
E Make two measures in Single Fault
Condition (SFC with S1 “OFF”).
 S5 “ON”: live and neutral conductors in normal condition.
 S5 “OFF”: swap of live and neutral conductors.
Please note that 1V equals to 1mA. Values of leakage currents have to be within the limits of table below.
