c) Anode current within normal limits
mA measured during the last exposure will appear on display.
Variations by 1 mA are obtained by changing
I
f
of about 0,005 A
Variations by 5 mA are obtained by changing
I
f
of about 0,025 A
Variations by 10 mA are obtained by changing
I
f
of about 0,050 A
After each filament current change, check the effect on anode current with an exposure.
Repeat the operation till you get the value of expected mA 0 / -5%
d) Over-current and Over-voltage protection circuit intervention
If Filament current is increased for calibration with respect to previous values Over-current or
Over-voltage alarm could occur.
Over-current
Check if
LED1
and
LED4
switch OFF after pushing x-ray pushbutton.
In such a circumstance, increase voltage reference at
TP1
by means of
RV6
Over-voltage
Check if
LED1
and
LED4
switch OFF after pushing x-ray push button.
In such circumstance increase voltage reference at
TP3
by means of
RV3
When calibration is finished protection circuits MUST be recalibrated
