4.4. EPX-Series DUTY CYCLE LIMIT
Internal X-ray system components will heat up during normal use of the x-ray system. This is similar to X-ray tube
heating during normal x-ray system operation. The amount of heat produced is proportional to the product of kV,mA
and time.
CAUTION
THIS X-RAY SYSTEM HAS TEMPERATURE MONITORING OF FET-DRIVE
BOARD TO PROTECT THE EXCESSIVE HEAT BUILD-UP.
IF THE X-RAY SYSTEM DETECTS THE OVER-HEAT OF FET-DRIVE, AN ERROR
CODE
“E04” OR “E05” WILL BE DISPLAYED. EXPOSURE WILL BE INHIBITED
WHEN THIS MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED, AND IT SHOULD BE UNDERSTOOD
THAT CONTINUING TO MAKE EXPOSURES MIGHT CAUSE X-RAY SYSTEM
DAMAGE DUE TO OVERHEATING. THE GENERATOR SHOULD BE ALLOWED
TO COOL SUFFICIENTLY SUCH THAT THIS MESSAGE IS NO LONGER
DISPLAYED.
NOTE
THE FOLLOWING SECTION CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION. PLEASE
