8.3 Cleaning and Replacing the Water Filter
When the cooling fluid needs to be replaced, it is advised to clean the w ater filter as well, or if
in a case of a damaged filter, to replace it. The filter is accessible through the panel with the
window on the right side of the system.
1 - Quick connect/disconnect fittings with valve
2 - The water filter. Mind the direction of the flow
The filter housing can be removed by disconnecting the two white quick fittings on both sides
(press on the metallic part labeled CPC). The quick fittings are both equipped with a valve,
thus no leakage of cooling fluid is possible. To clean or change the filter follow the instructions
described in Appendix 2: Cleaning and Replacing the Water Filter on page
Note
Mind the direction of the flow, the direction of the flow has to be downwards.
8.4 Checking the Emergency Stop Button
The proper function of the emergency stop button has to be checked on a yearly basis. The
procedure is follows:
•
The instrument has to be switched ON.
•
Set the X-Ray generator to 0 kV and 0 mA (to avoid any damage of the tube).
•
End the control software and quit the server by right clicking on the radiation icon that is
blinking in the bottom right of the task bar in Windows.
•
Push the emergency stop button.
•
The instrument must switch OFF: no noise from the instrument can be heard, the red
POWER OFF button switches OFF and the white POWER ON button switches ON.
