Consult Spellman’s Sales Department 
for details. 
 

1.2.2  SYSTEM STATUS AND 

FAULT DIAGNOSTIC 
DISPLAY 

 
Dead front type indicators are provided 
to give the user indication of system 
operation and fault conditions. If a fault 
occurs, the power supply will shut 
down. To reset, toggle the CONTROL 
POWER ON switch, or use the reset 
function on remote user interface. 
 

INTERLOCK CLOSED:

 Indicates 

the EXTERNAL INTERLOCK 
connections are in the closed position. 
 

INTERLOCK OPEN:

 Indicates the 

EXTERNAL INTERLOCK 
connections are in the open position. 
 

OVER VOLTAGE:

 Indicates the over 

voltage protection circuitry has caused 
the power supply to turn off. Over 
voltage is internally set to 105%-110% 
of rated output voltage. 
 

OVER CURRENT:

 Indicates the 

output current has exceeded 10% of 
rated output current. The over current 
level is internally set.  
 

OVER POWER:

 indicates the output 

power has exceeded the front panel or 
remote programmed power trip level. 
 

ARC:

 Indicates that a tube arc has 

occurred. 
 

KV RGLT ERROR:

 Indicates that the 

high voltage regulation circuit cannot 
maintain voltage regulation. This may 
occur if the input voltage is too low. 
 

MA RGLT ERROR:

 Indicates that the 

tube emission current regulation circuit 
error cannot maintain current regulation. 
This may occur when tube filament 
problems exist. 
 

FILAMENT CURRENT LIMIT:

 

Indicates that filament current has 
exceeded the programmed filament 
current limit trip level. 
 

KV MIN:

 Indicates the minimum KV 

level is not being programmed. This 
indicator will illuminate for 
approximately 10 seconds before shut 
down. This provides protection of the 
tube filament. The KV min circuitry also 
resets the KV and MA/filament ramp 
circuits. When the voltage is programmed 
higher than the kV min level, the outputs 
will begin the ramp cycle. 
 

LEAKAGE LIMIT/TEMP

: On the 

DF/FF power supply, a tube leakage 
current detection circuit is provided. Shut 
down will occur if leakage current 
exceeds 5mA. A test point on the rear 
panel is also provided for test purposes. 
LED LEAKAGE/TEMP will blink at 
approximately 0.5Hz frequency.  
Temperature is constantly monitored 
inside the unit. Shut down will occur if 
temperature exceeds safe operating level. 
Steady illumination on 
LEAKAGE/TEMP front panel LED will 
indicate over temperature condition.  
 
 

OPEN FILAMENT:

 Indicates the X-ray 

tube filament or connections to the 
filament are open.

OPTIONS: 

The options available are listed in Table 
1.1. See Section 5 for more information 
on these options along with operating and
