X-ray ON Indicators
IVIS Lumina XRMS Series III is equipped with three (3) red indicator lights showing the status of
X-ray generation:

Indicator on the main console control panel that is labeled "X-RAY ON" ( Figure 6.5 on page 41 ).
This indicator operates independently, If it malfunctions, the remaining two indicators will
operate.

Indicator on the decorative camera top cover at the top of the main console ( Figure 6.5 on page 41 )

Indicator on the rear of the instrument.
The Living Image control panel also indicates the status of X-ray generation ( Figure 5.4 ).
Safety Interlocks
IVIS Lumina XRMS Series III has several interlock switches. The primary interlock switch is
activated as soon as you turn the door handle. It is a micro-switch that when OFF (handle turned to
open position) prevents generation of X-rays or any image acquisition. Unless the door is completely
closed and the handle locked, the CCD camera shutter will not open.
A second redundant door interlock prevents X-ray generation by physically removing part of the X-
ray electrical circuit when the door is opened (
Figure 5.6 ).
In addition to the two safety interlocks, the door has a solenoid-activated lock that prevents the door
from being opened during an imaging session when X-rays could be generated. For reasons discussed
in the warning above, it is important not to attempt defeat of any of these safety features.
!
WARNING!
This product produces X-rays. Do not attempt to open the IVIS Lumina
XRMS Series III door when X-rays are being generated as indicated by the "X-Ray
On" lights.
!
WARNING!
Do not, for any reason, attempt to defeat the built-in safety interlocks
described in this section. Operating the IVIS Lumina XRMS Series III without the
safety interlocks can result in exposure to X-rays. Exposure to X-rays may cause
serious bodily injury or death. Refer all servicing to PerkinElmer Technical
Support (see
