Do not open the system, disassemble, or modify any internal components. These
actions could result in serious damage to the system and a health hazard to the
operator.
2.2 Safety Interlocks
The BTX III analyzer uses an X-ray tube that produces ionizing radiation at up to
30 keV at very low power (10 W) as compared to laboratory XRD systems (typically
greater than 1 kW). The BTX III system is designed with internal X-ray shielding to
fully protect operators and internal components.
The radiation producing components are completely contained within the system
housing and constructed in such a way that no measurable radiation is detected
during operation. No beam alignment nor X-ray beam calibration by the operator is
required. There is no reason for any BTX III operator to bypass any radiation safety
switches. The BTX III analyzer fully complies with the FDA CFR, section 1020.40
including safety interlocks and radiation measurements. The BTX III analyzer has no
measurable radiation leakage from any surface during operation. This is because of
the shielding of the X-ray generation and detection components, and the low
operating potential and power of the X-ray generation source.
The BTX III analyzer incorporates several independent safety interlock circuits to
protect the operator. See Figure 2-1 on page 31 and Table 5 on page 31.
