INSTALLATION AND CALIBRATION

CAUTION I
~
This Section Pertains To Authorized DEL Service Personel Only

The stand contains a spring loaded arm with 240 pounds of force. Never release the arm
safety latch without the X-Ray head attached (Applies to additional stand when furnished).

2.1 INTERCONNECTIONS

Connect the control module (Model HF-11 O-CM) to the x-ray generator (Model
HF-110-G) by means of the interconnecting cable by pushing in the connector
and turning clockwise to lock. Connect the power line cord (See drawing
500923 in Section IV for correct plug wiring) to the x-ray control (Model HF-11 0­
CM) by pushing in and turning clockwise to lock. Connect the other end of
power line cord to the primary power source (wall outlet).

Caution

Be certain that the primary power source (wall outlet) is the same rating as the voltage
specified on the label. located on the rear panel of the x-ray control.

10
HF·IIOA Section 2

2.2 CALIBRATION SET-UP

Connect the mAs meter to the phone jack (J4) located in the bottom plate of the
Generator Assy. Load the kVp Divider (Kiethley model 35080A) with the 50 ­
150 kVp cassette and place it in the X-Ray field. Set the function switch to Run.
connect the kVp Divider cable to the oscilloscope (storage type) and set up the
scope as follows:
Volts/Div: 1 Display: set to Storage
Time/Div: 20ms Source: Channel 1
Ground Input/trace: lower line Input: DC
Mode: Channel 1 Trigger Mode: Single
Pre trigger: 2 division Push "Run"

2.3 BEAM CURRENT (mA)

The mA (beam current) is pre-set at the factory and is self regUlating so there is
no need for adjustment. The squareness of the waveshape (leading edge) can
be adjusted by the service man as follows:
Set the "Service" switch to position 1 (ref. fig. 2.1). The kVp meter should
display 50 kVp, 15 mA indicator will illuminate and the center indicator will
illuminate and the center indicator of the density bar graph will light.
1) Collimate the X-Ray beam to size of the filter pack on the kVp Divider. Set
Channel 2 of the oscilloscope to view the ma waveshape via the mA Jack
(J4) and step away from the unit. Make an exposure and view the mA
waveshape. Use the Plus and Minus arrow keys of the "Density Adjust" to
calibrate the leading edge of the mA waveshape. If the leading edge is high
(more than 20% of the indicated waveshape), then use Minus key to subtract
from the mA reference. If the leading edge is low (less than 20% of the
indicated waveshape), then use Plus key to add to the rnA reference.

11
HF-IIOA Section 2

2.3 Continued:

2) Depress the "Reset" button to enter the change into the microprocessor. the
15 rnA Station LED should go off to indicate that the unit is out of the mA
calibration mode and into the 50 kVp calibration mode.
NOTE: Entering calibration data automatically advances the unit to the next
calibration point. Adjustments can be verified at any time by rotating the
"Service" switch to the 0 position and making an exposure.

2.4 TUBE POTENllAL (kVp)

With the "Service" switch set at position 1 proceed as follows: Make an

exposure and compute the kVp by counting the base line as 42 kVp and each

division as 10 kVp.

1) Use the Plus and Minus arrow keys of the Density Adjust to calibrate the kVp.

If the output is high, then use Minus key to subtract from the kVp reference.
If the output is low, then use Plus key to add to the kVp reference. Each
increment of the density bar graph is 0.5 kVp for a total range of +/- 5 kVp.
2) Depress the "Reset" button to enter the change into the microprocessor. The
kVp meter will now display 60 kVp and the 15 rnA Station LED will light to
indicate that the unit is in the 15 rnA calibration mode at 60 kVp.
3) Repeat steps 2.3 and 2.4 for the 60-100 kVp/15 mA range in 10 kVp
increments.
4) Set the "Service" switch to position 2.
5) Repeat steps 5.0 and 6.0 for the 50-100 kVp125 mA range in 10 kVp
increments.
6) Set the "Service" switch to the 0 position. Verify the calibration points and
note on checklist.

12

HF-IIOA Section 2

2.4 Continued:

If any points need to be fine tuned, set the "Service" switch to the required
setting and toggle through the calibration modes using the "Reset" button until
the correct range is found.

2.5 EXPOSURE TIME

Remove the phone plug from the mA jack. Measure the time base of the kVp
wave form at the 50% level. confirm timer accuracy as indicated on checklist.

2.6 BEAM ALIGNMENT

Clamp down ear(s) of head to prevent movement during alignment. Rotate
collimator so that knobs are facing front and tighten lock. Place Alignment Tool
(RMI, 161A) in beam at 40" and collimate the field just to the outside edge of the
silver border. Place Beam Alignment Tool (RMI, 162A) in center of the field
(center dot at intersection of center lines) and adjust beam so that shadow of
upper dot covers lower dot. Readjust borders if necessary. place identifying
numbers ( serial no.) on upper right comer and take an exposure at 60 kVp, 2
mAs. Develop film and inspect image. Measure the actual x-ray field and record
the numbers on the checklist. In addition to the overall size the center of the x­
ray field must coincide with the center of the light field within +/- 1% of the SID
(0.4"). If the centers are too far out of alignment, adjustment of collimator light
field is necessary. Place the alignment tool in the field such that the light field is
lined up to the outside edge of the silver border

13

HF-IIOA Section 2

2.6 Continued:

Place the exposed film on top of the alignment tool making sure that the exposed
border of the film coincides with the silver border of the alignment tool. Adjust
the Collimator light field to coincide with the exposed field of the x-ray film.
Rotate collimator to access and remove cover plate. Locate vertical and
horizontal hex head adjustment bolts, and 2 slotted clamping screws. Loosen
the clamping screws slightly and adjust hex headed bolts
Move Beam Left Tum horizontal bolt CON
Move Beam Right - Tum horizontal bolt ON

THEORY OF OPERATION

4.1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The Model HF-110-CM incorporates three major electrical sub-assemblies. The

generator Assembly consists of the high voltage circuitry, the x-ray tube and the
collimator (further discussed in section 4.2). The Control Assembly houses all of
the electronics, microprocessor, high frequency generating circuits and the front
panel controls (further discussed in section 4.3). The Inverter Assembly is part
of the Control Assembly, but is discussed in detail in section 4.3. The optional
Automatic Exposure Control houses the x-ray sensor and its associated
electronics (discussed in section 4.4).

4.2. GENERATOR ASSEMBLY

The Generator Assembly is made up of both the High Frequency Head and the
Collimator, which are both interconnected with the control assembly via
connector J1 (Ref. Dwg 700285). The voltage used to generate the high
voltage at the high frequency head enters the assembly at pins A & B of
connector J1. The voltage is approximately 600 VPP at an approximate 20 kHz
square wave, for a 100 kVp output.
The filament voltage enters at pins F<G&H of connector J1. Pin H is at a DC
level of approximately 15 V, and pins F & G have a high frequency voltage of
about 30 VPP at approximately 400 Hz with respect to ground. Pin L of J1 is the
rnA feedback signal (10V = 25mA). Pins C&D of J1 provide a 24 VAC voltage
for the collimator lamp and timer. Pin E of J1 is the ground pin, pin K of J1 is
the kV feedback signal (10 V=1 OOkV). Connector J2 (rnA jack) places a rnA
meter in series with the rnA line for calibration purposes (Ref. Section 2.3).

28

HF-IIOA Section 4

4.3 CONTROL AsSEMBLY

The Control Assembly is made up of the following sub-assemblies; Control PCB

Assembly, Microprocessor Assembly, Front Panel Assembly, low voltage power
supply and the automatic Line Sense (optional).
The Control Assembly is powered by 120 VAC or 220 VAC via connector J1. C5
is connected across the incoming lines to filter any surges. With circuit breaker
CB1 closed, an AC voltage is applied through resistor R1 to the rectifier 'filter
section. This section is made up of CR1, C1, C2 and R2. The Rectifier and
Capacitors make up a classical full wave doubler when the 120 VAC mode is
selected by the automatic line sense (A4). When the 220 V mode is selected
the rectifier assy. (CR1) becomes a full wave bridge. Resistor R2 is the bleeder
for the capacitors, and resistor R1 is used to limit the in-rush current.
Relay contacts 1A and 1B short resistor R1 during the Prep and X-ray period to
allow the line to deliver the required power. Transistors Q1 and Q2 make up a
full bridge high frequency circuit operating at approximately 20 kHz. This circuit
is energized during the X-Ray On period and is used to convert the DC voltage
back to high frequency Ac to drive the high voltage transformer in the generator
assembly (approx. 20 kHz).
The Control PCB Assembly (A1) takes commands from the microprocessor and
converts them into high frequency signals to drive the full bridge. Current
transformer T2 is used to monitor the high frequency current out of the Full
Bridge, and provides an interrupt in the event of excessive current flow. The
high frequency voltage output of the full Bridge is taken from transistors Q1­
C2E1 and Q2-e2E1. The output signal now flows through capacitor C3 and
goes to connector J2 pins A and B. Capacitor C3 is used to block any DC
voltage from entering the primary of the High Voltage Transformer in the
Generator Assembly

29
HF-IIOA Section 4

4.3 Continued:

Transformer T1 is an isolation transformer, one of its secondaries is 24 VAC and

is used as the prime source of the filament and also goes to connector J2 pins C
and 0 to power up the collimator lamp. The microprocessor PCB Assy. (A2) is
used as the brain of the unit, it receives the X-Ray Prep and X-Ray On signals
from the exposure switch, which is connected via J3. The x-ray prep signal
which is active low (active low=approx. OV, active high=approx. +5V), goes into
the microprocessor at P1 pin 1. It also goes to the Control PCB via P11 pin 1,
where it activates the filament circuitry and also energizes relay K1. All this
prepares the unit for an x-ray exposure. When the x-ray signal (active low), is
applied to J3 pin A the signal is fed into the microprocessor via P1 and pin
2, that initiates a timed signal (active high), which exits from the
microprocessor at P1 pin 17 and enters the Control PCB (A1) at P11 pin 7. It
is also used to initiate the audible beeper which is part of the microprocessor
board (A2). The microprocessor also monitors the FAULT signal (active low),
on P1 pin 40 from the Control PCB (A1) P11 pin 9. The microprocessor also
outputs an adjustable voltage level from P1 pin 21 which is the reference out
signal (typical 5 to 10 VDC) and is proportional to the KV output.
The microprocessor also selects the rnA station from connector P1 pin 29 into
P11 pin 3 of the Control PCB Assembly. A low signal selects the 15 rnA station
and a high signal selects the 25 mA station. A filament control signal leaves the
microprocessor via P1 pin 23 (LM350 control), this signal is used to provide a
calibrated voltage to the filament during the PREP mode to preheat the filament.
During the exposure the control board regulates the amount of filament power
needed to produce the current that is set by the operator (15 mA or 25 rnA). A
BCD switch is provided on the microprocessor board and is used for calibration
purposes. The AEC signal enters on J4 pin 2, which goes to the microprocessor
at P1 pin 33, that signal is present during an x-ray exposure in the AEC mode

30

HF-IIOA Section 4

4.3 Continued:

The AEC interlock signal (active low), enters the microprocessor board at P1 pin
39. This signal is low when the AEC assembly is connected via J4. The front
panel assembly (A3) houses all the push buttons and indicators for operating the
unit and is connected to the microprocessor through ribbon cable assembly W1.
The filament control board generates the high frequency voltage that feeds the
primary of the filament transformer pins F,H and G on J2.
The power supply assembly A4 provides the +/- 15VDC and +5 VDC for all the
low voltage (signal processing) electronics.
The optional automatic line sense assembly AS monitors the input voltage and
switches a set of contacts which changes the rectifier filter section from a full
wave doubler to a full wave bridge. It also selects the proper tap on the control
transformer T1.

4.4 AUTOMATIC EXPOSURE CONTROL (Optional Equipmmt)

The automatic exposure control assembly consists of an x-ray sensitive

transducer with a buffer amplifier that provides a proportional analog signal to
the microprocessor during the exposure.
