Operation and Workflow
Power Failures
The CR System contains an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) to protect the
system against an abrupt power loss.
If a power failure occurs, the UPS sustains system power to:
• complete all critical activities
• save present operating data, and
• shut down the Windows 2000 Operating System and reader
If power is restored before the UPS battery charge drops to 25%, the system
resumes operation without interruption. However, once the battery level
drops to 25%, the system automatically shuts down.
In the event of a power loss, an error message appears within 30 seconds of
the power loss. For any image currently being routed, the system attempts to
complete the transmission. If there is not sufficient time to accomplish this,
the image is marked as Failed Delivery and must be redelivered by the
technologist once power is restored.
If a cassette is in the load position at the time the automatic shutdown
sequence begins, the system completes the scan in process, stores the raw
image on the hard disk, erases the phosphor screen and returns it to the
cassette before the UPS shuts down the system.
CAUTION
:
The UPS battery must be changed by a Kodak authorized
Service Provider. The UPS battery contains lead and poses a
hazard to the environment and human health if not disposed of
properly. Disposal of the battery may be regulated due to
environmental considerations. In the US, due to the toxicity of
lead, the EPA’s Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
(RCRA) and state solid/hazardous waste authorities consider a
spent lead-acid battery a regulated waste. The customer must
treat this battery as a hazardous waste if it is not recycled. A
recycling infrastructure is widely available in the US to manage
this battery type.
CAUTION
:
The UPS provides enough power in battery mode to complete
only the scan in progress during a brownout or black-out
condition. After such an event, the UPS battery charge level is
low and requires up to two hours to fully recharge after utility
power is restored. During this re-charge time, the system is
susceptible to operational failure should power be lost again.
This failure could result in the loss of image data. It is at the
discretion of the operator to discontinue using the product for
a two hour period after power is lost.
