HEAT UNITS
This X-ray Generator is equipped with a Heat Unit Calculator. During
exposures, the Heat Units are calculated and totalled.
To view the remaining Heat Units, press the “
On
” push-button. The kVp Display
shows the percentage of Heat Units that remain preceded by the letter “H”. For
example, a display of “H75” would indicate that 75% of Heat Units capacity of
the X-ray Tube remains. “H -- -- ” indicates that all the capacity remains. The kVp
Display reverts to its normal function after releasing the “
On
” push-button.

ERROR CODES
Error codes indicate the potential cause of a system failure. Error codes are
shown on the kVp Display at the same time an audio signal is emitted. Correct
the error cause and keep pressed the “
AEC Reset
” push-button till the Console
indication disappears.
(Refer to Table 3-1).
All these error codes are preceded by the letter “E” (i.e., E01) and they will
enable the operator to indirectly convey the possible source of error to service
personnel. This may prevent the need for a service call or enable service
personnel to anticipate corrective actions prior to arriving on site.
