GRID NODE
ERROR
In the case where the exposure time is between 20
ms and 50 ms, the calculation is done using an expo-
sure time of 50 ms.
Ignore this error. No action is required.

Bucky Initialization
Failed
The Bucky failed to initialize with the Gantry.
1. Reboot the system from the X-ray Console.
2. If the problem persists, remove the carbon cover
and check that the Bucky can move.
3. If the problem persists, it could be linked to a
mechanical issue, consequently add grease.
4. If the problem persists, change the Bucky and
check the mechanical thickness.

INHIBIT
Bucky Step Lost
When this error occurs intermittently it is due to a
bucky step loss.
When this error occurs frequently and there are grid
lines in the X-ray images it is due to a faulty or badly
adjusted Bucky connector cable (W310/W313 and
W311) located at the sides of the digital detector.
1. Reboot the system from the X-ray Console.
2. If the problem persists and there are grid lines in
the X-ray images, do the following with the Bucky
connector cable W310/W313:
a. Check that the cable connectors are fine.
Check that they are not disfigured or have
the plastic insulation covering them.
b. Check the cable continuity. You can do this
by looking for erratic variation in resistance
when gently wiggling the cable.
c. If the problem persists or this error occurred
during wiggling the cable, the cable is faulty.
3. If the problem persists and there are grid lines in
the X-ray images, change the Bucky connector
cable W311.
a. Check that the cable connectors are fine.
Check that they are not disfigured or have
the plastic insulation covering them.
b. Check the cable continuity. You can do this
by looking for erratic variation in resistance
when gently wiggling the cable.
c. If the problem persists or this error occurred
during wiggling the cable, the cable is faulty.
4. If the problem persists, change the Bucky and
check the mechanical thickness.
Note:
If this error occurs more than five times per
month change the Bucky.
