2.10.0 X-RAY
TUBE
HOUSING
GROUND
A separate ground wire (10 AWG, 6mm
2
) must be connected from each X-ray tube housing to one of the
ground studs on the HT tank. Refer to figure 2-8 or 2-9. These ground locations may have other ground
wires already connected, ensure that these existing ground wires are not disconnected when making the
X-ray tube ground connection.
Failure to make this ground connection may result in intermittent operation and/or exposure errors.
2.11.0 HIGH TENSION CABLES
The X-ray tube(s) should be mounted on their normal fixtures i.e. tube stand, G.I. table or other devices.
1.
Verify that the HT cable terminations are clean, in good condition i.e. no cracks, and coated with
vapor proof compound.
2.
Remove the plastic caps which cover the high voltage terminals on the HT tank. These should be
saved in case of a future requirement to transport the generator or HT tank.
3.
Connect the high tension cables as per the installation requirements. Use the right angle
connectors for the HT transformer end. Ensure that the cables for tube 1 (and tube 2 if used) are
plugged into the proper connectors on the HT tank. Refer to figure 2-8 and 2-9.
4.
Be sure that the HT cable connectors are tight and there is no play between the connector
insulator and the screw down ring.
