INTRODUCTION
This Job Card lists error codes generated by the Generator sub-system and displayed on the X-ray Con-
sole. Each message can contain two codes, the
User error code
and the
Service error code
(refer to the
explanation below). Error codes containing a Service Error Code are listed here; codes containing a
User Error code are listed in the
Senographe DS Operator Manual
. Many messages contain both, and
appear in both manuals.
Refer to Section 3
Error Code Structure
for an explanation of the error code display.
Section 4
Generator Error Codes
lists the error codes, with corresponding error descriptions. Where pos-
sible (mainly for recently developed codes), the list also includes the text of a displayed error message,
and suggestions for corrective action.

ERROR CODE STRUCTURE
Error codes are displayed on the X-ray Console in the format shown here:.
•
The User Error Code is the code given in the
Senographe DS Operator Manual
. It is easy to use and
communicate, and gives sufficient information for use by the Operator.
It includes a code for the type of error (
a
) and a message number (
bb
). The example given, E55, indi-
cates that a tube inhalation fault has occurred which caused exposure inhibition,
-
a
: Type of error:
I: Warning; exposure not inhibited.
S: Warning; exposure inhibited.
E: Fault; exposure inhibited.
K: Fault; power shut down for safety.
-
bb
: Message number indicating the origin of the fault.
•
The Service Error Code is the code used in this document; it gives more information, and is recom-
mended for use in GE internal communication. It includes two reference codes:
-
ccc
: Indicates the affected subassembly (hardware or software). The example given, 161, indi-
cates a tube housing fault.
-
ddd
: Indicates the origin of the fault The example given, 013, indicates that no reference crossing
was detected during tube movement.
