THIS X-RAY UNIT MAY BE DANGEROUS TO PATIENT AND

OPERATOR UNLESS SAFE EXPOSURE FACTORS, OPERATING
WARNING: INSTRUCTIONS AND MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES ARE OBSERVED.

X-ray radiation exposure may be damaging to health, with some effects being
cumulative and extending over periods of many months or even years. X-ray
operators should avoid any exposure to the primary beam and take protective
measures to safeguard against scatter radiation. Scatter radiation is caused by
any object in the path of the primary beam and may be of equal or less
intensity than the primary beam that exposes the film.

No practical design can incorporate complete protection for operators or

service personnel who do not take adequate safety precautions. Only
authorized and properly trained service and operating personnel should be
allowed to work with this X-ray generator equipment. The appropriate
personnel must be made aware of the inherent dangers associated with the
servicing of high voltage equipment and the danger of excessive exposure to X-
ray radiation during system operation.

• Wear protective clothing. Protective aprons with an equivalent of a

minimum of 1/64" (0.35 mm) of lead are a minimum requirement. Leaded
gloves, glasses and thyroid shields are strongly recommended.
• To protect the patient and operator against radiation, always use radiation
protection accessories in addition to devices that are fitted to the X-ray
equipment.

 03002

• Keep as large a distance as possible away from the object being exposed
and the X-ray tube assembly.
• Never operate this X-ray equipment in areas where there is a risk of
explosion. Detergents and disinfectants, including those used on patients,
may create explosive mixtures of gases. Please observe the relevant
regulations.
• Only authorized, trained service staff may remove the covers of the
generator cabinet and the control console.

Do not connect unapproved equipment to the rear of the console.

INCORRECT CONNECTIONS OR USE OF UNAPPROVED EQUIPMENT MAY RESULT IN
INJURY OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.

CAUTION: DO NOT EXCEED THE TUBE MAXIMUM OPERATING LIMITS SHOWN IN

OPERATION OF UNIT

GETTING STARTED

Power Switch – Press the ON button on the operator control panel. It is a good
idea to turn the unit off at the end of each day, and to turn OFF the service
disconnect switch. This ultimately will extend your system's life. If desired, the
system can be programmed to turn itself off if not used within a specific amount
of time. It can be set for 1-10 hours in 1 hour increments, or disabled. Contact
your Summit dealer to program this feature.

Warm up - It is recommended that you warm up the unit prior to the first higher-
powered exposure to prolong tube life. This is done by taking a series of three
exposures using the 300 mA station set at 20 mAs. Start with a kVp of 70 and
increase to 80, then 90. Exposures should be spaced at least 20 seconds apart.

During installation, the installing dealer calibrates the AEC field(s) to

achieve proper optical density (OD) in AEC/CAEC operating mode.
The Synergy generator automatically defaults to this calibrated OD
value when the LED is lit beside the “0”.

The optical density may be altered by depressing the UP and DOWN

arrow buttons. A red LED will be displayed next to the selected density
setting.

Example: +50% will result in a radiographic film approximately 50%

darker than a film taken at the “0” setting.

TAKING AN X-RAY EXPOSURE 4

When taking an x-ray exposure, the operator should exercise appropriate protection and
operation. X-Ray is hazardous to both patient and operator if proper operation and protection is not
practiced.

MANUAL MODE OF OPERATION (2-POINT)

1. Power the unit by pressing the ON button.

2. If using an APR console select MANUAL 2-PT.
3. Select an image receptor (if available) by pressing the appropriate button.
4. Select the preferred x-ray tube focal spot size by pressing the associated arrow button.
5. Enter the selected kVp technique by pressing the associated button.
6. Enter the selected mAs technique by pressing the associated button.
7. Press the PREP button until the green LED ready light appears constant.
8. While still depressing the PREP button, press the EXPOSE button to begin the x-ray
exposure (or depress footswitch to second position).
9. Release both buttons upon completion of the x-ray exposure.

 In 2-Point mode, the generator will automatically select the highest mA and shortest
exposure time available to achieve the mAs displayed.
 If the operator terminates the exposure prior to the completion of the exposure (based
on technique factor selection) an error code will be displayed as well as the mAs
produced during the exposure.
 If invalid technique exposure factors are selected, an audible tone will occur and an
error code will be displayed. Refer to the Error Code section of this manual for further
reference.
 If the large focal spot is being selected, and the mAs selected is below the minimum
allowable mAs, the display will alert the operator by means of an error message and
audible tone. The generator will automatically change the mAs to the minimum
allowable mAs on the large focal spot.
 If the small focal spot is being selected, and the mAs selected exceeds the range of
the small focal spot rating of the generator and x-ray tube, the display will alert the
operator by means of an error message and audible tone. The generator will
automatically change the mAs to the maximum allowable mAs on the small focal spot.
 In manual 2-point mode (with an APR generator), pressing EXPOSURE COUNT will
momentarily display the total number of exposures made on this x-ray control.

GENERATOR EXPOSURE TABLES 7

The following table shows exposure times resulting from pre-selected mAs and mA values. Your generator
may not have all the settings. Exposure factors such as mA and mAs are dependent on generator options
that were purchased. The X-ray generator has a built in feature to prevent the user from selecting exposure
that may be harmful to the x-ray tube. Therefore, some exposure factors will not be attainable depending
on the type of x-ray tube being used in the system.

MAINTENANCE

Routine maintenance is to be performed thirty (30) to sixty (60) days after the initial
installation, and every six (6) months thereafter. It is the responsibility of the equipment
owner to insure this maintenance is performed as scheduled to meet warranty obligations.
The installing dealer, or other factory authorized service organizations will be able to
perform this maintenance. The following list is a minimum checklist; your maintenance
procedure may be more extensive that that shown below.

NOTE: Maintenance schedule frequency may be determined by

certain regulatory requirements of the Country or State in which the
installation is located. Always check the local codes and regulations
when determining a maintenance schedule.

When taking an x-ray exposure, the operator should exercise appropriate

protection and operation. X-Ray is hazardous if proper operation and protection is
not practiced.

 All system cables inspected for wear, binding, and tightness of connections.
 High voltage cables inspected for signs of breakdown, abrasion or wear, receptacles
re-greased and tightened into the HV transformer and x-ray tube.
 Line voltage checked, and TB1/TB2 verified to be set properly for the power supply.
 Power module internal connections checked for wear, binding and tight connections.
 Communication cables checked for wear or binding and tightness of connections.
 kVp and mAs outputs verified to be within accuracy limits.
 kVp and mA waveforms verified to be of the proper amplitude and shape.
 Operate all of the switches on the console and verify that the appropriate switches
function properly. Some switches, such as AEC, may not be enabled.
 Note that all segments on the kVp and mAs windows display properly.
 Some municipalities require verification of repeatability and linearity.

CLEANING

• Never use anything other than mild soap and water to clean plastic surfaces. Other
cleaners may damage the plastic.
• Never use any corrosive, solvent, or abrasive detergents or polishes.
• Ensure that no water or other liquid can enter any equipment. This precaution prevents
short circuits and corrosion foaming on components.
• Methods of disinfecting used must conform to legal regulations and guidelines
regarding disinfecting and explosion protection.
• If disinfectants are used which form explosive mixtures of gases, these gases must have
evaporated before switching ON the equipment again.
• Disinfecting by spraying is not recommended because the disinfectant may enter the
x-ray equipment.
• If room disinfecting is done with an atomizer, it is recommended that the equipment be
switched OFF, allowed to cool down and be covered with a plastic sheet. When the
disinfectant mist has subsided, the plastic sheet may be removed and the equipment
may be disinfected by wiping.
