5.5 X-ray plug-in unit (
4
)
Plug-in unit for holding the adjusted X-ray tube in a sheet
steel housing with a carrying handle, ready for use in the
X-ray XR 4.0 X-ray expert unit. The housing of the tube has a
catch lock and two safety contact pins that enable the tube
operation only if the plug-in unit has been installed correctly.

The bay for receiving the X-ray plug-in unit is equipped with
coupling sockets and subsequent safety switches. These are
connected to the central safety monitoring system of the
XR 4.0 X-ray expert unit.
The following ready-prepared plug-in units are available:
Plug-in unit with a Cu X-ray tube
order no. 09057-51
Plug-in unit with a Mo X-ray tube order no. 09057-61
Plug-in unit with a Fe X-ray tube
order no. 09057-71
Plug-in unit with a W X-ray tube
order no. 09057-81
The plug-in units consist of a sheet steel housing with a fac-
tory-adjusted X-ray tube. In order to prevent them from over-
heating, the tubes are enclosed in a Duran glass cylinder.
This glass cylinder has side connecting pieces through which
forced air cooling via a fan in the XR 4.0 X-ray expert unit is
ensured.
The plug-in units also have an HV plug and a plug for the
tube cathode heating so that the operating values can be
taken over from the corresponding sockets of the XR 4.0
X-ray expert unit.
Make sure that the plug-in is inserted completely. Otherwise,
it is not going to work.
Handle the plug-ins with care!
