2.  Turning the generator on and off 

 

 

 
Turn the generator on with the ON button (1) and off with the OFF button (2). The 
LED above the ON button indicates when the generator is on, and the LED above 
the OFF button indicates when it is off, but the input mains presented. 
 
When turning the generator on a process starts during which the control panel, the 
X-ray controller, and the generator controlled parts are placed under voltage. As a 
first step the generator performs a self-test procedure.  
 

 

 
Parameters may be set after the default settings (80kV, 100mA, 100ms) appear on 
the LED displays (B, C, D). 
 
Exposure can be started when the main contactor is on and READY appears on the 
panel LCD (A).
