applicable regulations, and the X-ray Source supplier guidelines,
such as the Golden Engineering XR200 X-Ray Source Operator’s
Manual.
General Safety Procedures
The following are general safety precautions for using X-ray
generating devices:
• As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) principles of
radiation exposure are applicable whenever the RTR-4 system
is being used. Personnel exposure to X-rays shall be kept to the
absolute minimum possible.
• Users shall establish appropriate exclusion zones to limit
access to the radiation field. This information can be found in
the Users’s Manual for the applicable X-ray source or on the
manufacturer’s webpage. When two or more exclusion zones
apply, such as using the RTR-4 in the presence (or suspected
presence) of explosives, the larger exclusion zone perimeter
shall apply.
• Operating personnel shall review and follow applicable
regulations.
• In order to meet the FCC RF safety regulations when using the
wireless configuration, personnel shall maintain a distance of
at least 20cm (8in) from the WiFi antennas when the system
is operational.
• Personnel in the vicinity when the RTR-4 system is being
operated may be required to wear an approved X-ray radiation
monitoring device in accordance with local regulations or
administrative procedures.
• Personnel shall remain at a safe distance from the X-ray
source, and always remain outside the direct beam during
image acquisition if possible.
• Personnel shall remain at a distance of at least 20cm (7.9in)
from the antennas whenever the RTR-4 wireless option is
being used.
• When using the optional Notebook Safety Lock, the controller
key shall be turned to the
OFF
position when not acquiring
images. The X-ray source cannot fire when its controller key is
in the
OFF
position.
• The power key for the X-ray source should be turned to the
OFF
position when the system is not acquiring images. The
X-ray Source cannot fire when its key is in the
OFF
position.
