XR 3000 Safety Information 

 

IMPORTANT:  READ THIS FIRST 

 

It is essential that the operator of the XR 3000 read and understand the following 
safety warnings 

PRIOR

 to operation. 

 
The XR 3000 is designed to provide safe and efficient operation.  However, any 
equipment producing ionizing radiation (x-rays) must be considered hazardous 
and should be treated accordingly.  When operating this equipment, observe the 
following : 
 

??

PACE strongly recommends that all maintenance be performed by a 
qualified service technician. 
 

??

The XR 3000 x-ray tube produces high voltages of up to 70,000 volts.  
Under no circumstances should the case be disassembled or modified as 
severe electrical shock may occur.   
 

??

The XR 3000 is designed to ensure adequate radiation shielding.  Even 
so, always be aware that the ionizing radiation (x-rays) can constitute a 
distinct hazard if not employed in strict accordance with instructions 
provided in this manual for maximum operator safety. 
 

??

Exposure to excessive quantities of radiation can be dangerous to your 
health.  Avoid not only direct radiation exposure, but also to secondary or 
scattered radiation which occurs when an x-ray beam strikes or has 
passed through any material. 
 

??

Do not insert any part of the body into the inspection chamber while x-rays 
are on.  Although the XR 3000 operates at an extremely low x-ray dose, 
unnecessary radiation exposure should be avoided.  If an item becomes 
jammed or lodged in the inspection area, the XR 3000 should be turned 
off before any attempt is made to clear the inspection chamber. 
 

??

PACE strongly recommends that all personnel operating the XR 3000 
wear a radiation film dosimeter badge.  See Section 15.  This badge 
records an exposure history for the operator and acts as a constant 
reminder to the operator to use caution and safe work practices when 
operating the XR 3000.   
 

??

The radiation exposure dosage received by personnel working with x-ray 
inspection equipment should not exceed those limits set by local 
regulations relating to ionizing radiation.
