Troubleshooting Flow Chart
6. Troubleshooting Flow Chart

The following flow chart is based on raw data provided by engineering
and should lead you to the failed FRU in most of the cases. In some
cases, for example, when the x-ray tube has a major arc, E-Box
components can be damaged. The diagnostics of the problem can then
take longer.
Special attention should be taken while reviewing the displayed errors

on the CanPro screen. Make sure to review the list for the original error
immediately after the scan is executed.
NOTE
The Single Pulse test (Section 7.6) requires a Memory Oscilloscope.
This device is not a standard tool in the field. Nevertheless, we have
included the test as part of this manual. A Memory Oscilloscope can
be found in technical departments in some major health centers.

General Diagnostic Tools and Procedures
7. General Diagnostic Tools and Procedures

7.1 560 VDC_ UDC_P and UDC_N
A. The 560VDC UDC_P and UDC_N should be measured prior to
starting the diagnostics. Many errors can be related to improper
voltage because all major x-ray systems use this initial power.
a. The E-Box—use it for the ignition circuit of inverters.
b. Fil/RAC—use it for the filament power and for the RAC power.
The UDC voltage may vary because it depends on the line voltage. If a
transformer is used (i.e., the line voltage is other than 400V), the UDC
voltage must be 560 V ±10%.
During a scan, the voltage drop of UDC should never be more than 80 V
below the actual UDC voltage. If the UDC voltage drops by more than
80V during an exposure, there can be a missing phase in the PDC.
Check the three F100 (80A) fuses. If one F100 (80A) fuse is defective,
replace all three.
UDC is transferred as follows:
• From D-450 X7–X10 in the PDC via the W3 cable to the X303
connection in the right leg of the Gantry.
• From the X303 connection in the right leg of the Gantry via the
X315 cable to the slip ring connections X382 and X383.
• From slip ring connections X382 and X383 via the W505 cable to
the x-ray system.

Frequency Adaptation Procedure
7.2 Frequency Adaptation Procedure

Frequency adaptation is an automatic program running via scenario in
CanPro. The purpose of the program is to adapt the inverters
frequencies for maximum performance along the required frequencies.
The program performs very short scans in different frequencies, and
records the results in the main control D-400.
The procedure must be performed each time one of the following parts is
replaced:
A. E-Box
B. HV-Tank
C. D- 400
The frequency adaptation procedure must complete successfully. If not,
the current frequency parameters are lost and no scan will be possible.
Failure of the procedure could be due to any x-ray fault.
The manufacturer tests each E-Box and D400 prior to shipment,

therefore some frequency adaptation already exists. It is highly
recommended to perform some scans prior to the frequency adaptation
procedure to verify that the HV system is operational. If the system
fails, follow the troubleshooting guide. Do not attempt to perform the
frequency adaptation unless the system is operational. X-ray tube
minor arcing can cause failures, which terminates the frequency
adaptation program. In this case, perform frequency adaptation with
the Dummy Plugs connected.
SAFETY
SAFETY: Follow all safety guidelines when using the Dummy Plugs.
Calibration Procedure
1. Login to the Host computer.

2. Verify that the system is in stand-by state and logout from the Host.
3. Activate the CanPro program from the computer.
4. Load the following scenario:
C:\mx8000\scenario\adjust\xrs\f_adapt\f_adapt. tsc
5. Run the scenario.
6. After the scan begins, the following message appears:
Wait for LS 0* 00 from MCU to ICS - then Cancel Mode
7. Make sure to perform CM only after the LS 0*00 status is achieved
(approximately 15 seconds after the last scan). The calibration
procedure is performed in a special test mode—short scans are
performed one after another.
8. After the calibration scans have finished, one T5e table appears.
Check the T5e table and make sure there was no arcing. If there
was arcing, repeat the calibration.

Frequency Adaptation Procedure
9. Turn the CT-Box OFF and ON and verify that the system reached
the stand-by state without any errors.
10. Check proper operation of the HV system by performing scans from
the Host computer at: 90 kV, 120 kV, and 149 kV.
NOTE
Depending on the kV and mAs values, some scans can fail if frequency
adaptation is not performed after you replace the relevant parts.
In particular, the Dummy Plugs test will fail with the following error:
E 50 01 29 — An UT> +82 kV error was detected
If you are unaware to the fact that Frequency Adaptation was not
performed, you can misdiagnose the problem and conclude that the test
had failed.

Dummy Plugs Test
7.3 Dummy Plugs Test
Use the Dummy Plugs test to

isolate either the x-ray tube
or High Voltage Tank as the
typical cause.
X-Ray System COM1 P_UTact

Electronics H1 Tank Tube
Box COM2 N_UTact
The Dummy Plugs test detects high tension arcing or high tension
breakdown. During this test, high tension is applied to the high tension
circuit without tube current. High tension in the circuit is applied with
the use of test plugs, to isolate high tension faults to either the tube or
the H1 tank.
To perform this test, you will need test plugs.
The Dummy Plugs test includes the following:
• Maximum power at 145 kV.

• Anode rotation.
• No filament current.
NOTE
• The results of Dummy Plugs test are valid only when an error occurs
also with Customer Modes. This is due to the nature of the HV_Drop
signal.
• When the tube is installed, radiation is produced. Use suitable
protection.
• Performing Dummy Plugs test with the tube installed can lead to
misdiagnosis and failures.
Procedure
Perform the Dummy Plugs test as follows:
1. Lower the bed to minimum.

2. Turn OFF the Gantry from the CT-Box and open the Gantry front
cover.
3. Turn the service switch S301 on the Gantry to 0.

Dummy Plugs Test
SAFETY
following points:
4. Remove the high-tension cables from the HV-Tank.

5. Insert the dummy plugs (P/N sp711621791) in the HV-Tank outlets.
6. Turn the Gantry ON from the CT-Box.
7. Login to the Host computer.
8. Verify that the system has reached Stand-by and logout from the
Host.
C:\mx8000\scenario\diag\xrs_tst\xrs_test\s_hvtest.tsc
11. Run the scenario.
NOTE
It is very important to wait for 15 minutes between exposures to allow for
the high voltage to discharge.
12. When measurement is finished, check the CanPro Log.

If there is an error, the fault is in the HV-Tank.
If there is no error, the tube is defective.
NOTE
Before replacing the tube, perform Short TC and Long TC to restore
stable operation.

XRS Anode Starter Resistance Measurement
7.4 XRS Anode Starter Resistance Measurement

The anode starter resistance can be measured directly via the connector
(see Figure 3) on the x-ray tube and via the cable connected to the E-Box.
Improper connection and cable securing have frequently been found to
cause anode rotating errors.
The following errors can be associated with the anode starter and cable
connections.
XRS error 50 01 32 xx xx 02 40
The errors indicate problems with the anode starter rotation speed test.
NOTE
• Measurement must be performed with a TRUE RMS meter.
• Make sure that the anode starter has stopped completely prior to
measurement. If it is still running, wrong measurement values will be
obtained.
Procedure

cover.
SAFETY
following points:

4. Disconnect cable W-513—connector x-2 from the E-Box side (see

Figure 2).
Figure 2: x-2 Connector

5. Measure 3.6 ohms between the following pins:
a. 1—3
b. 1—4
c. 3—4
6. If any of the above measurements are incorrect, measure 3.6 ohm
directly on the x-ray tube anode starter connector (see Figure 3).
Figure 3: X-ray Tube Anode Starter Connector

7. From field experience we know that improper tightening of anode

starter cable W-513 causes the errors mentioned at the beginning of
this section. This is due to gravitational forces applied on the cable
during rotation. The following figure illustrates proper tightening.
Figure 4: Cable W-513

X-ray Tube Filaments Resistance Measurements
7.5 X-ray Tube Filaments Resistance Measurements

The x-ray tube has two filaments: one small and one large.
The xrs system performs an initial test of both filaments during the
"Reset Stage": first the small filament and then the large one. At the end
of the reset stage the large filament stays in the stand-by mode (4.5 A).
If any of the filaments are open, the following error is issued:
XRS E 50 00 18
NOTE
• Measurement must be performed with a TRUE RMS meter.
• Make sure that the anode starter has stopped completely prior to
measurement. If it is still running, wrong filament measurement values
will be obtained.
Procedure

cover.
SAFETY
following points:
4. Disconnect the cathode side of the HV cable from the HV-Tank.

5. With a TRUE RMS meter, measure the filament resistance on the
cable end.
Between C-(common) and L-(large filament)—1.3 ohms
Between C-(common) and S-(small filament)—0.5 ohms

9. Turn on the Gantry power from the CT-Box.

C:\mx8000\scenario\diag\xrs_tst\xrs_test\single_p.tsc
Run the scenario for a minimum of two times.
Each scan will alternate between the negative inverter and the
positive inverter. Therefore, the first scan will be the negative side
and the second scan will be the positive side.
Test results are based on an evaluation of the I_load signal according to
the following parameters:
• The time for a single pulse must be nine µseconds ±20%.

• The peak current must be 150 A ±20%.
• Evaluate both negative and positive pulses.
12. Observe the signal on the scope and compare to the following
figures and descriptions. On the basis of this comparison, you can
conclude which of the FRUs is faulty: E-Box or HV-Tank.

Single Pulse Test
A. The following Figure 8 and Figure 9 represent a nominal no-fault operational system.
Figure 8: Single Pulse Oscillogram, Peak 150 A (Positive) Figure 9: Single Pulse Oscillogram, Peak 140 A (Negative)
Figure 8 illustrates a positive wave form of a single pulse that lasts for eight µseconds. It measures the time between the peak
and the return to zero. The peak in this wave form approaches 150 A.
Figure 9 illustrates a positive wave form of a single pulse that lasts for eight µseconds. It measures the time between the peak
and the return to zero. The peak in this wave form approaches 140 A.

Single Pulse Test
B. The following are examples of a faulty HV-Tank.
Figure 10: I-Load Signal Positive Side Figure 11: I-Load Signal Negative Side
Figure 10 and Figure 11 represent a problem when there is a short circuit between x3, x1 and x4—a short circuit across the
current sensor exists. The current which flows in the current sensors oscillates in this short circuit after switching off the
inverter. The first pulse is switched off by the UCE-supervision of the inverter. Duration of the first pulse is six µseconds, the
maximum amplitude is 250 A.
This short circuit has the same effects as a short circuit of one high voltage transformer inside theHV-Tank. A shorted
transformer leads to a short circuit across x1 and x2 or x3 and x4, respectively (see Figure 5).

Single Pulse Test
Figure 12: I-Load Signal Positive Side Figure 13: I-Load Signal Negative Side
Figure 12 and Figure 13 are examples of an open circuit in the input the high voltage transformer.
x4 is not connected (no wire and no connection plate to x2). Therefore, the stray inductance of the HV-Tank has twice the value
as in normal operation, because one high voltage transformer is not connected. Because of this, the resonance frequency
decreases so much, that the first pulse is switched off by the pulse limitation of the UCN 3860. There is a very small following
pulse with inverse polarity. Duration of the first pulse: 12 µs, maximum amplitude: 125 A.

Single Pulse Test
C. The following are examples of a faulty E-Box.
