Pace XR 3700 Manual Download Page 4

 

  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. 

 

  Adequate warning signs and symbols should be displayed in the 

vicinity of the XR 3500/3700 warning of possible x-ray exposure. 
Any warning lamps and signals should be checked prior to 
operating the XR 3500/3700. 

 

  The electrical circuits of the XR 3500/3700, although enclosed for 

operator protection, must be considered as a potential hazard. 
Strict observance of safety practices pertaining to operation and 
maintenance is essential.  Proper electrical grounding must always 
be used. 

 

  Before operating the XR 3500/3700, all personnel designated or 

authorized to operate the unit, as well as those supervising its 
operation, should have a full understanding of how it works. 
Additionally, they should be familiar with established radiation 
safety exposure practices sanctioned by the National Bureau of 
Standards Handbook, “X-ray Protection” HB93, pertaining to x-ray 
protection. 

 

  Service personnel should read this manual and be familiar with its 

contents before attempting to adjust or repair this equipment.

Radiation Safety Information

 

 

Federal, State and Local Radiation Regulations (US ONLY)

 

 

This cabinet x-ray system was designed to conform to U.S. and Food 
and Drug Administration (FDA) requirements as stated in the Code of 
Federal Regulations, Title 21 (21CFR).  These requirements (often 
referred to as the CDRH or BRH regulations) govern the design and 
manufacture of all equipment that produces ionizing radiation.  Such 
equipment includes television sets and microwave ovens, as well as 
cabinet x-ray systems.  In fact, the maximum allowable radiation 
emission for cabinet x-ray systems is the same as that set for 
television sets and microwave ovens.
