Chapter 5:
LPX-200 X-ray System Operation
INTRODUCTION
This section provides, as an example, the sequence of
operation required for using the LPX-200 X-ray System for
making x-ray film exposures. ALWAYS keep in mind the
dangers inherent with generating x-radiation, and observe
ALL the relevant precautions and procedures regarding safe
operation, personnel exposure prevention, and exposure dose
monitoring.
Pre-Operational Safety Precautions
Before the x-ray tube is energized for either the warm-up
sequence, or for the exposure, the operator MUST understand
and observe the safety precautions detailed below.
The interconnects supplied with the system help protect the
user, and others in the immediate vicinity, from exposure by
providing a safe distance between the Tubehead and the
Control Unit. Refer to NCRP (National Council on Radiation
Protection) recommended practices for minimum distance
requirements.
! WARNING !
ALWAYS use the cables and hoses
provided with the unit to avoid
radiation hazards in un-shielded,
outdoor operating conditions.
! WARNING !
Connect all cables to their
appropriate connectors on the
Control Unit, Cooling Unit, and
Tubehead BEFORE applying power to
the system.
The operator of this apparatus MUST ensure that all personnel
are clear of the hazardous X-ray area before generating
X-rays. Utilize flashing beacons and/or audible alarms during
exposures, which warn personnel of the radiation hazards.
! WARNING !
All personnel in the immediate
vicinity MUST wear personal
radiation monitoring devices. Post
radiation warning signs where
necessary.
The operator of this X-ray unit, or any person in the
immediate vicinity, may be subject to receiving some
exposure to X-radiation during the time that the X-ray unit is
generating X-rays. Since X-rays can cause harmful
effects to the human body, avoid unnecessary exposure.
! WARNING !
Keep all necessary exposure to an
absolute minimum and compatible
with practical requirements and
current safety regulations. An X-ray
survey meter, placed in the vicinity of
the Control Unit and operator, is
recommended.
