STANDARD FEATURES 

The DF3/FF3 series incorporates extensive 
standard features designed to optimize user 
control and safety. 
 

KV AND MA/FILAMENT CURRENT 
RAMP CIRCUITS: 

This feature provides for a 

gradual rise for kV, mA, and filament current. 
This feature is designed to limit voltage shock 
and filament shock to the X-ray tube. The kV 
ramp rate is approximately 10 seconds. The 
filament current is slowly increased until the 
desired mA level is achieved. This time is 
typically 20 seconds for full mA output. These 
ramp conditions are started at the initial X-RAY 
ON control signal or when the kV control, 
(front panel potentiometer or remote 
programming), drops below the kV MIN level. 
The kV MIN level is typically set at 8kV. The 
kV MIN level is adjustable by an internal 
resistor valve. Other kV MIN levels can be 
accommodated. Consult Spellman Engineering 
for further information. 

FAIL-SAFE, DUAL INDICATOR LAMPS:

 

The X-ray on lamp utilizes a sensing circuitry for 
detecting proper operation of the lamp for the 
indicator. If the X-ray on lamp is not functioning, 
the power supply will not generate high voltage. If 
the X-ray on lamp is depressed and the indicators 
do not illuminate, the lamps are defective and 
should be replaced in order to generate high 
voltage. Control power and X-ray off lamps are 
also dual type lamps for added reliability. 

 

 

INTERNAL FAULT PROTECTION AND 
DIAGNOSTICS:

 The DF3/FF3 series 

continually monitors internal circuits critical to 
the proper operation of the power supply and X-
ray tube. The diagnostic circuits utilize 
sophisticated Programmable Logic Devices 
(PLD’s).  The diagnostic programming is a 
software based, decision-making technology. 
Flexible software provides very sophisticated 
decision-making capabilities within the power 
supply.  Also, a variety of user configurations can 
be achieved by custom software written by 
Spellman Engineering.  If a specific fault 
condition or diagnostic is required, consult 
Spellman High Voltage Engineering Department. 

1.4.1 REMOTE 

OPERATING 

FEATURES 

REMOTE PROGRAMMING:

 Allows remote 

adjustment of the output voltage, output current, 
filament current limit, and maximum tube power 
via an external voltage source. 
 

REMOTE MONITOR:

 Allows remote 

monitoring of the output voltage and output 
current. 
 

REMOTE X-RAY ON/OFF CONTROL:

 

Allows remote control of X-ray ON and X-ray 
OFF functions. Signals are also provided for 
remote indication of X-ray ON status. This can be 
used for a variety of water control or remote lamp 
functions. 
 

REMOTE POWER ON:

 Allows remote control 

of Control Power ON/OFF function. This feature 
also allows remote reset of the power supply in 
case of a fault shutdown. 
 

EXTERNAL INTERLOCK:

 Interlock 

connections are provided for a variety of water 
flow and safety functions. The unit will not 
operate unless the interlock is closed. Opening the 
interlock circuit will cause the unit to shut off.
