SAFETY NOTICES AND WARNINGS (cont)
WARNING:
THIS X-RAY UNIT MAY BE DANGEROUS TO PATIENT AND OPERATOR UNLESS SAFE
EXPOSURE FACTORS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 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. Operators and service personnel 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.
Do not connect unapproved equipment to the rear of the console. For the 23 X 56 (cm)
console, J5 is used for the interconnect cable to the generator main cabinet, J4 is not used, J2
is a serial port for use by an external computer, and J1 is for connection of an optional printer.
For the 31 X 42 (cm) console, J5 is used for the interconnect cable to the generator main
cabinet, J2 is a serial port for use by an external computer, and J13 is for connection of an
external hand switch and / or foot switch. INCORRECT CONNECTIONS OR USE OF
UNAPPROVED EQUIPMENT MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
CAUTION:
DO NOT EXCEED THE TUBE MAXIMUM OPERATING LIMITS. INTENDED LIFE AND
RELIABILITY WILL NOT BE OBTAINED UNLESS GENERATORS ARE OPERATED WITHIN
PUBLISHED SPECIFICATIONS.
WARNING:
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES EXIST INSIDE THE GENERATOR WHENEVER THE MAIN POWER
DISCONNECT IS SWITCHED ON. THOSE AREAS INCLUDE THE MAIN FUSEHOLDER AND
ASSOCIATED CIRCUITS IN THE HV POWER SUPPLY, PORTIONS OF THE GENERATOR
INTERFACE BOARD ON THE UPPER DOOR OF THE GENERATOR, AND THE TERMINALS
ON THE LINE ADJUSTING TRANSFORMER IN THE LOWER GENERATOR CABINET IF
FITTED
THE CONSOLE ON/OFF SWITCH DOES NOT DISCONNECT THE MAIN POWER FROM THE
ABOVE AREAS INSIDE THE GENERATOR.
THE BUS CAPACITORS, LOCATED ON THE BASE OF THE POWER SUPPLY PRESENT A
SAFETY HAZARD FOR AT LEAST 5 MINUTES AFTER THE POWER HAS BEEN REMOVED
FROM THE UNIT. CHECK THAT THESE CAPACITORS ARE DISCHARGED BEFORE
SERVICING THE GENERATOR.
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.
