TRACK COOLING DELAY
<
Informative Message
>
The operator presses the PREP and RAD switches immediately at the end of an exposure. Wait at least five
seconds (minimum track cooling delay) at the end of an exposure before initiating another PREP and RAD
sequence.
TUBE CURRENT FAILURE
<
Informative Message
>
The tube current is out of tolerance. Perform a tube calibration. If the problem persists, ask the service
representative.
TUBE FIL. LIMIT
<
Informative Message
>
Exposure parameters exceed the maximum operating range of the X-R filament. Increase the kV, reduce the
mA or switch to the large focal spot.
TUBE HOUSING OVERHEAT
<
Informative Message
>
The tube housing overheats and the exposure is not allowed. Release the prep and exposure switch and wait
until the message disappears; this will provide sufficient cooling time to the tube housing.
TUBE KV LIMIT
<
Informative Message
>
The kV for the selected exam is beyond the kV range of the X-R tube. Reduce the kV factor.
TUBE KW LIMIT
<
Informative Message
>
Exposure parameters for the selected exam are beyond the operating kW range of the X-ray tube (or
filament). Switch to the large focal spot or reduce any exposure factor.
TUBE SWITCH FAILURE
<
Informative Message
>
The stator current monitoring is out of tolerance and the exposure preparation aborts. Try to repeat the
exposure. If the message persists, refer to the Rotor Controller Manual.
TUBE SWITCH MISSING
<
Informative Message
>
No tube switch has been detected. Use the Epsilon PC Tools to verify if the current workstation and/or
tube number is correct in the generator configuration.
USER SUPPLY FAILURE
<
Fault Message
>
No exposure is allowed. The connected equipment draws too much current from the generator. Verify the
external equipment interfaced with the generator.
VERIFY DAP CHAMBER
<
DAP option Message
>
Verify the interconnection of the DAP device to the generator.
W.S. DISABLED
<
Informative Message
>
The selected workstation is not enabled in the generator setup. Select another workstation to continue or, if
necessary, enable the workstation using the Epsilon PC Program.
W.S. FLUORO DISABLED
<
Informative Message
>
The selected workstation does not support Fluoro. Select another workstation to continue or, if necessary,
enable the Fluoro in the current workstation using the Epsilon PC Program.
X-RAY DISABLED
<
Informative Message
>
On certain operator consoles, PREP, RAD, and Fluoro switches can be disabled. Toggle this mode (enabled
the exposure mechanism) by pressing the X-Ray Disable key on the operator console.
X-RAY DEFAULT LOADED
<
Informative Message
>
Epsilon PC Program successfully uploaded the X-ray firmware from the computer to the generator.
