5. Troubleshooting and Maintenance 

GXDP-300

®

Correct operation of the unit

If any of the unit’s controls, displays or functions fail 
to operate or do not operate in the way described in 
this manual, switch the unit off, wait 30 seconds and 
then switch the unit on again. If the unit still does 
not operate correctly contact your service technician 
for help.

If you hear the exposure warning tone but the expo-
sure warning light on the display does not come on 
when an exposure is taken, stop using the unit and 
contact your service technician for help.

If you do not hear the exposure warning tone when 
an exposure is taken, stop using the unit and con-
tact your service technician for help.

Every week check that the power supply cable is in 
good order (not damaged in any way) and that the 
unit operates correctly in accordance with the in-
structions in this manual. 
Make sure that the unit cannot be driven up/down 
when the emergency stop button has been pressed 
down.
 

Yearly maintenance

Once a year an authorized service technician must 
carry out a full inspection of the unit. During the 
inspection the following tests will be carried out:
– a kV/mA test
– a beam alignment test
– a check that the safety ground is connected
– a check that the positioning lights operate
– a check that oil is not leaking from the tube head
– a check that all covers and mechanical parts are 
correctly secured and have not come loose.
A full description of all the tests and checks is de-
scribed in the Service Manual.
