6.4 X-Ray System Control Panel
The front panel located under the door of the imaging chamber has two switches and two indicator
lights associated with the X-ray function of the instrument (
). The main ON/OFF switch
that controls the electrical power to the full instrument is on the rear of the IVIS Lumina XRMS
Series III (see
). Activation of this switch provides power to the instrument, but
does not permit energizing the X-ray source unless the following conditions have been met:
1.
The imaging chamber door is completely closed and the door handle is in the completely locked
position.
2.
The Emergency OFF switch is in the ON (out) position. See the note below.
3.
The key selector switch is turned ON.
4.
The amber switch has been pushed and the light is ON, indicating that all safety interlocks are
functioning properly.
The X-ray source cannot be energized from the Living Image software until these conditions have
been fulfilled.
!
CAUTION:
DO NOT direct strong sprays of cleaning liquids at the scintillation
module. While reasonably water tight, a directed spray could penetrate the seals
of the module and damage the sensor.
!
WARNING!
The glass window covering the scintillation sensor is very thin and
fragile. Use care when cleaning or handling to prevent injury from broken glass.
See
for instructions on cleaning the scintillation screen.
NOTE:
The Emergency OFF switch is not intended as a main X-ray source control and should not
be used to turn the X-ray function ON or OFF on a routine basis. It should only be used in the
unlikely situation where the X-ray source must be immediately turned OFF. Under normal
circumstances, it should be left in the ON position and left as is.
