THE TH 7195 HIGH VOLTAGE CONNECTORS HAVE BEEN

DESIGNED TO OBTAIN A RELIABLE CONTACT, IMPERMEABLE TO
! THE HUMIDITY.
TO HAVE A GOOD CONTACT AND TO AVOID DAMAGE, SOME
PRECAUTIONS HAVE TO BE TAKEN DURING CONNECTION .
To connect the U1 to U5 high voltage wires:
• Remove the 4 mobile parts (O-ring joint,

plastic washers and spring-action locknut)

to the wire end, along the cable.
• Put the cable into the TH 7195

corresponding connector. Take care to
completely insert the cable to have a good
contact. Erreur! Signet non défini.
U1, U2 and U4 connectors are 20 mm

depth.

U5 connector is 55 mm depth.
• Maintain the wire and move the O-ring
joint, the two plastic washers and the

spring-action locknut to the connector.
• To avoid damage, the spring-action

locknut and the TH 7195 connector must be

on the same axis during screwing.

Tél : (+33) 04 76 57 40 00 MANUAL
Fax : (+33) 04 76 57 40 85 January 2003 Page 7
• Maintain the wires while screwing to


avoid them to rotate.
3.5. VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT

On the XRII of the Radiological Imaging Unit, the U3 voltage allows to zoom the image by
varying the portion of the input screen that is projected onto the output screen : the higher the
U3 voltage, the smaller the portion of the input screen that is projected, i.e. the larger the
magnification. The U2 voltage is the focusing voltage and the U1 voltage permits to adjust the
resolution uniformity throughout the whole image field. Both the TH 7195–1 and the
TH 7195–3 enable the use of three XRII fields but the maximum allowed voltages are different
on the two types.
The single field Radiological Imaging Units (TH 59429 ...) use a TH 7195-1 : on this model, the
U3 voltage has been limited at 5 kV.
The triple field Radiological Imaging Units (TH 59428 ...) use a TH 7195-3 : on this model, the
U3 voltage has been limited at 13 kV.
The HVPS you have received has been pre-adjusted in our factory : the three voltages, for each
mode, have been set at fixed values. To be suited to your Radiological Imaging Unit, these
voltages have to be adjusted at the right values.
Three encoders on the side of the TH 7195 allows to adjust the U1, U2 and U3 voltages for each
mode.

Fax : (+33) 04 76 57 40 85 January 2003 Page 8
U1, U2 AND U3 VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT

For this adjustment, you will need a voltmeter with an input impedance higher than or equal to
10 MΩ. Seven test points are available in front of the HVPS and provide a low voltage
proportional to the five electrode voltages, as well as the photocathode and getter currents.
The voltmeter will be used to measure the low voltages on TP1, TP2 and TP3 (the reference for
these voltages is the ground).
Œ Set the switch 1, on the side of the HVPS, to OFF to unlock the voltages.

3.5.1. U2 VOLTAGE FINAL ADJUSTMENT

The voltmeter is not used for the final adjustment of the U2 voltage.
Œ Place a lead pattern with frequencies up to 30 lp/mm in front of the Radiological Imaging
Unit.
The angle between the horizontal

axis of the image and the test
pattern must be 30 to 45 °.
30 to 45 °
• Select the following operating parameters :

- video AFTER digital output ;
- Automatic Gain Control ;
- Normal mode ;
- recursive filter factor 4 ;
- select the set-up point 2 if the X-Ray dose is controlled with a ABC signal.
Ž Turn the X-Ray generator on.

The performances of our products are specified with a radiation quality of 75 kVp and
an additional filtration of 2 mm of copper. Nevertheless, to adjust the XRII focusing, it
is easier to have a radiation quality of 50 kVp without any additional filtration.
If the X-Ray dose is not controlled with a ABC signal, set the X-Ray current in order to
switch off the two led on the top of the camera.
• Turn the U2 encoder while looking at the limiting resolution on the monitor. Choose the U2
voltage which allows the greatest limiting resolution.
• If the Radiological Imaging Unit is a triple field type (TH 59428...), repeat steps Ž and
• for Magn. 1 and Magn. 2 modes.
‘ Finally, reset the switch 1 to ON to lock the voltages.

4.6. FOCUS ADJUSTMENT

A hole on the top cover of the camera, focus, allows to adjust the mechanical focusing.
For this adjustment, it is necessary to use a lead pattern as described in the U2 voltage final
adjustment chapter (HVPS replacement).
4.7. CONTROL OF THE IMAGE QUALITY

Œ Turn the X-Rays on with a flat illumination on the whole entrance field.
• Control the image quality on the monitor : some black spots could be present, due to dust
on the optics or on the XRII output screen. If there is spots, the camera must be removed for a
new cleaning.
MORE CLOSED IS THE IRIS, MORE VISIBLE ARE THE DEFECT DUE TO DUST INTO
! THE OPTICAL SPACE. FOR LOW CONTRAST DEFECT, IT COULD BE NECESSARY TO

DO THE FINAL IRIS ADJUSTMENT AND TO CONTROL THE IMAGE QUALITY AGAIN.
4.8. IRIS ADJUSTMENT

A hole on the top cover of the camera, iris, allows to adjust the iris aperture. An other hole,
video just after CCD, allows to connect an oscilloscope on a test point. This test point deliver a
video signal after a first amplification and before any signal treatment like shading correction,
gamma and automatic gain control.
This video signal does not include the field synchronisation and it could be necessary to
synchronise the oscilloscope using the video output.
The test report of the camera will indicate three values for this signal
VCCD-sat , is the level on this test point measured at the beginning of the CCD saturation.
VCCD-10% , is the level on this test point measured for an entrance dose equal at 10 % of
the dose giving the beginning of the CCD saturation.
VCCD-20% , is the level on this test point measured for an entrance dose equal at 20 % of
the dose giving the beginning of the CCD saturation.
The iris adjustment allows to set the working dose which will be controlled by the ABC system
or Auto kV or mA compensation. To adjust the iris, do as follows :
Œ Select set-point 1.
• Display the video just after CCD signal on the oscilloscope (display a line in the center of
the image).

Tél : (+33) 04 76 57 40 00 MANUAL
Fax : (+33) 04 76 57 40 85 January 2003 Page 14
Ž Turn the X-Rays on with a flat illumination on the whole entrance field. Adjust the
expected dose in the entrance plane of the RIU.
• Turn the iris adjustment to get a signal on the oscilloscope equal to VCCD-10%.
Note :
If the factory settings are not changed, the working dose of the second set-point will be two
times higher (20 % CCD sat.).
4.9. CAMERA ORIENTATION

Œ Place a vertical or horizontal chart in front of the Radiological Imaging Unit.
• Turn the X-Rays on.
Ž Adjust the right orientation of the camera while looking at the chart on the monitor.
• Lock the four camera orientation locking screws.

4.10. CENTERING OF THE VIDEO CIRCLE

Œ Put SW1, video, on the ON position. The video circle or circular blanking appears on the
image.
• Turn the X-Rays on with a flat illumination on the whole entrance field.
Ž If the video circle is not perfectly centered compared to the image of the XRII output
screen, an adjustment has to be done. Four parameters of the video circle could be adjusted : the
diameter, the symmetry, the horizontal centering and the vertical centering. The diameter could
be adjusted using P6, video circle, on the top of the camera. To adjust the three other

Tél : (+33) 04 76 57 40 00 MANUAL
Fax : (+33) 04 76 57 40 85 January 2003 Page 15
parameters, the top cover of the camera has to be removed. Two screws on this cover allow to
remove it.
AS THERE IS LEAD ON THE TOP COVER, THE RADIOLOGICAL

IMAGING UNIT COULD TRANSMIT A PART OF THE X-RAY FLOW
WHEN IT IS REMOVED. TO AVOID ANY RISK, USE ONLY X-RAYS AT
LOW ENERGY, LESS THAN 50 kVp, DURING THE ADJUSTMENT.
• The following figure shows the location of the four potentiometers when the top cover is
removed.
• Adjust the parameters of the circular blanking to be at the limit of the XRII output screen.
‘ Replace the top cover of the camera.
