2 GENERATOR CONDITION AFTER FAILURE EVENT

ENF1 and/or ENF2 and/or ENF3 tripped.

Mains fuses might have additionally tripped.

2.1 SPECIAL CASE

ENF3 tripped, possibly in combination with ENF2 and ENF1 and mains fuses:

Problem most likely caused by rotor control unit EY (high speed) or EYA (low speed).

Solutions for rotor control problems are not part of this document.

2.2 ALL OTHER CASES

The generator has to be kept in this condition to discover the cause of the problem.

A non-qualified person (e.g. hospital technician not familiar with Optimus) should not be asked to just turn the
fuses back on to prevent further damage.

A qualified person like a Philips field engineer (trained on Optimus) must visit the site.

2.3 PREREQUISITES BEFORE CHECKING THE GENERATOR

CAUTION Do not remove PCB kV-power from the IGBT transistors.
Electrostatic discharge and mobile phone waves can damage and destroy IGBTs
when gate connections are open.

WARNING The generator must be switched OFF and must be completely cut from mains (e.g.
room mains switch or earth leakage current breaker).
All following checks must be made without mains power

3 CHECK OF GENERATOR MAINS SUPPLY PARTS

▪ Measure DC voltage at auxiliary contacts 41-42 of ENK2.
(Converter DC discharging contact, max voltage can be 750VDC.)

If 0V is measured:

– the contact is closed (and the converter DC is discharged within 1 minute)

or

– the contact is open and the converter DC is discharged and safe.

WARNING In case one of the ENK2 main contacts is welded the converter DC discharge time is
much longer as the discharging auxiliary contact ENK2 41-42 cannot be closed.
600VDC discharge time to < 60VDC normally 40 seconds.
With open contact > 11 minutes to be < 60VDC.

▪ Check if any main contact of contactor ENK2 is welded:

Mechanical check: If snap-on auxiliary contacts or auxiliary contact block cannot be removed from the main
contactor at least one contact is welded.

ENK2 phase 1 1-2 contactor ENK2 2422 132 06621

phase 2 3-4 + 3 aux. contacts NO 2422 135 04355
phase 3 5-6 + 1 aux. contact NC 2422 135 04023
or
successor contactor 2422 132 07381
+ succ. aux. cont. block 2422 135 04464
+ succ. R/C circuit 2422 135 04661

▪ Record the conditions in the checklist (last pages).

▪ If contacts are found welded, replace contactor, its auxiliary contacts or contact block and the R/C circuit.

3.1 CONDITION(S) WHEN THE SERVICE COMES TO THE SITE

3.1.1 ENF2 tripped, possibly in combination with ENF1 and mains fuses
Problem might be caused by any of the:

– internal generator units (Optimus RAD + R/F)

or

– external units (Optimus RAD only) connected to breaker ENF2 :T1 :T2 :T3.

Solutions for such a case are not part of this document.

3.1.2 ENF1 tripped, possibly in combination with mains fuses

Problem most likely caused by kV unit malfunction (kV-control, kV-power, converter(s), HV transformer) or external
parts e.g. HV cable(s) or tube.

WARNING Make sure that the DC voltage in the converter is discharged.

▪ Open the cover of the frontal (and rear where present) converter.
▪ Measure DC at PCB kV-power EQ100 at E2 – C1 (at both converters, see layout drawings attached).
The measured DC must be < 10VDC.

3.2 CHECK FOR OPEN SPRINGS AT DAMPING RESISTORS

EN :R1 safety resistor 47Ω 100W 4512 100 45441

:R2
:R3

▪ Record the conditions in the checklist (last pages).

▪ Check for open springs at damping resistors.
Springs might be open if all breakers are ON when the service comes to the site.
In this case the generator must have been switched ON after all fuses and breakers were reactivated. Short-
circuit in the converter or its mains rectifier/filter could have happened.
Springs can be resoldered. If the springs have to be resoldered, use as little solder as possible.
▪ Check that the ceramic resistor bodies do not have cracks. In case of cracks the springs must be resoldered.

3.3 CHECK FOR CONTACTS THAT ARE WELDED AT BREAKERS AND CONTACTORS
▪ Switch OFF breakers ENF1 and ENF2.

4 CONVERTER CHECKS (EQ FRONTAL AND E2Q REAR)

4.1 VISUAL CONVERTER CHECK

▪ Check the converter visually.
The entire converter chassis must be replaced if cracks are visible at the white IGBT body
(looking through the converter cage grid) or if the kV-power PCB Q100 is bent towards the cover plate.

4.2 MEASURING OF CONVERTER PARTS

Use an ohmmeter that has a diode test feature.

▪ Check the polarity of the meter (for ohm and diode testing):

Anode of diode symbol on meter = positive voltage >> PLUS (see measurement)
Cathode of diode symbol on meter = negative voltage >> MINUS (tables)

Ω = Normal ohm measurements

➜ = Diode test option of meter

4.2.1 Rectifier check

4.2.5 Power cable harness check

▪ Check internal converter power cable connections
at resonance capacitors C3:2 and C13:2.
If the connectors look like (2) no additional action
is necessary.
If one of the connectors looks like (1) and if signs
of overheating are visible replace the converter.
▪ Record the conditions in the check list (last pages).

1 2

(Fig. 2)

4.2.6 Resonance capacitor check

▪ Remove primary lines from resonance capacitors C3:1 and C13:1 of frontal (and rear) converter.
▪ Check both capacitors for:
– short-circuit
– open connection

As it is not possible to measure the capacitance with an ohmmeter it is sufficient to see a variable resistance value
for a certain time and finally a high resistance or open connection.

Once a high resistance or open connection is displayed reverse the measuring lines. If it comes again to an
unstable resistance display with a high resistance or open connection display at the end, the capacitor should be
OK.

If a capacitance measuring device is available it should display 8µF ±5% (apart from the meter tolerance).

If a capacitor is defective (short or open) and no other part of the converter is defective which requires a converter
unit exchange, replace the capacitor (2019 321 00016).

▪ Record the conditions in the checklist (last pages).

NOTE Leave the primary lines disconnected from the capacitors for further tests.

5 CHECK OF THE HIGH-VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER

▪ Remove PCB EZ130 kV-control.
▪ Insert an extender PCB at EZ130 X1 (or use the backpanel connections, which is less convenient).
▪ Establish oscilloscope connections:

channel 1 = anode EZ130 X1:C17 10 or 20mV/div

channel 2 = cathode EZ130 X1:C16 10 or 20mV/div
ground = EZ130 X1 :A17 :A16
trigger = positive slope anode ch1 or negative slope cathode ch2
trigger level according to signal level
time base = 500ms/div or 1s/div

Signal amplitudes might look different depending on the battery type, connection cables used and the ”contact
force” at the battery.

(Fig. 3)

▪ Measure

1. with high-voltage cables and tube connected.

2. with high-voltage cables only.
3. without high-voltage cables connected.

5.1 ANALYSIS
(1) and (2) have to look almost the same (symmetry and amplitude).
When (1) has a lower amplitude or a different kV behavior compared to (2) and (3) the tube might be defective.
(3) should have a steeper (faster) discharging ramp as the capacitance of the HV cable is missing (tank only 3nF,
20m cable typically 1.5nF) assuming amplitude and symmetry are the same.
When (2) and (3) look different (amplitude and symmetry) and if (3) is symmetric the HV cable(s) might be de‐

6 VISUAL CHECK OF THE X-RAY TUBE

▪ If possible remove the collimator and the X-ray tube window assembly.
Is there any visible damage?
▪ A cracked tube or the loss of its vacuum could be a reason to destroy the converter.
▪ Record the conditions in the check list (last pages).

7 INTERIM RESULTS
At this point

– generator parts and units

– tube(s)
– HV cables

have been checked.

Something might have been exchanged or all tests came to an OK-result.

▪ Remove the extender PCB and reinsert kV-control EZ130.

WARNING All followings checks must be made with mains power.

Check that the converter mains lines still have no connection
to mains at ENK1 :1, :3, :5

▪ Switch ON all generator breakers and the mains supply.

8 TUBE CHECK WITH ROTOR CONTROL PART 1

In case the tube was rotating during tripping of mains breakers the CPU remembers that the brake process has
not been carried out (high-speed rotor control only).

About 40 seconds after switch-ON the tube brakes.

NOTE If the anode disk is not rotating before switch-ON it sounds like an acceleration
process.

▪ Switch ON the generator and perform an audible check at the tube housing during the generator start-up
(for further explanations see chapter 10.)

As the mains lines are not connected to the converters, error messages 02HI and 02HJ come up
(converter DC is 0V, therefore out of range).

9 KV-DRIVER TEST
CAUTION Before this driver test can be carried out the kV power unit(s) must be disconnected
from the mains supply (leads of unit(s) EQ/E2Q to ENK1 :1, :3, :5)

This safety measure is also valid for the chopper test

▪ Switch ON the generator.

Ignore error codes 02HI and 02HJ now, the DC supply is off and these errors must come up.
▪ Check whether the gate voltage is about -14.2 V ±0.3V against emitter for every IGBT.
▪ Check the ±15 V supply for the IGBT drivers. Drivers 1 and 2 are supplied by chopper 1 while drivers 3 and 4
are supplied by chopper 2. The common zero point is the emitter.

E4, X401 A400 : 3 X402

The kV driver test is software-controlled via PC. Due to the missing PREP and exposure requests the signals
EN_X_C/ and CTRL_X_C/ have to be set low–active at the backpanel at locations X76 and X74
(see drawing Z2-5.1/2).

CAUTION Do not forget to remove these connections after the test. Otherwise kV start immedi‐
ately with the PREP command in normal application mode.

The question [power supply mains - E disconnected ?:] comes up.
Answer with ”yes” (type Return twice) and transmit with [F2].

If the test takes longer than 10 minutes it may happen that the test is denied by the kV control. This happens if
the DC voltage = E–value is ≥ 5 V (the DC capacitors are slowly charged by the ±15 V of the drivers). Then short–
circuit the DC at collector C1 and emitter E2.

Do not establish a constant short–circuit to avoid problems after the test!

The test itself is short. The pulse time is 2.5 s long, but the PC screen displays [completed] after 5 s.
kV_control sends pulses for 5 s, but the hardware timer on the kV_control inhibits more pulses after 2.5 ms. Within
this time the actual kV must be on the nominal value.

▪ Switch ON the generator.
The system and the generator should be in ready condition.

Check of the tube vacuum:

▪ Push and hold PREP.

▪ Switch OFF the generator.
The anode is in free run now.
▪ Listen at the tube housing:
– If the anode speed is down within 2 ... 3 minutes the tube is defective (no vacuum) and must be replaced.
– If a decrease of anode speed is not audible within several minutes the vacuum is still OK.
▪ Switch the generator back ON.
– A generator with high-speed rotor control brakes the tube automatically (chapter 8).
– At generators with low -speed rotor control wait for ready condition, push PREP once and let go of the
PREP switch to brake the tube.

11 TUBE AND HIGH-VOLTAGE CABLE TEST WITH HIGH VOLTAGE

Even if

– the battery test to check a short at the high-voltage cables (chapter 5),
– the visual tube check (chapter 6) and
– the audible tube check (chapters 8 + 10)

did not lead to defective parts at first sight, these might be discovered once high voltage is up again.

Therefore the following test procedure was created to switch exposures just for 1ms before any part of the gen‐
erator might be overloaded from a defective tube or HV cable.

▪ Switch OFF the generator .

▪ Establish the test cable with diode at the backpanel service measuring points:

EZX74 (CTRL_X_C/ = cathode of diode) > open plug

and
EZX77 (X_ACT_S/ = anode of diode) > green plug cover

▪ Establish just one side first (with the 4mm plug) of the test cable with resistor
at the mAs short-circuit plug (either side, short-circuit plug remains in) of the measuring circuit EG100
(if access is not possible loosen screening cap of primary lines.)
▪ Establish oscilloscope connections:

channel 1 = anode EZ130 X4 AV_AN 20kV = 1V 0.5V/div

channel 2 = cathode (also positive) EZ130 X5 AV_CA 20kV = 1V 0.5V/div
ground = EZ130 X6/X32 GNDA
trigger = signal CTRL_X_C/ at EZX74 must be used, negative slope, trigger level 2.5V
(if a third probe is not available use one channel for triggering with CTRL_X_C/ and check anode and cathode side
individually)
time base = 200µs/div, trigger delay -1div

Explanation:

With these hardware modifications and exposure settings the exposure time is only 1ms.
The additional resistor simulates an emission current of 500mA which lets the mAs counter of mA-control terminate
the exposure at 1ms (= 0.5mAs).

Under normal conditions the mAs counter is triggered by the signal X_ACT_S/. As this might be missing due to a
problem in the system the additional diode drives, the kV start command CTRL_X_C/ also at X_ACT_S/ to trigger
the mAs counter and ensures the short exposure. The oscilloscope must be triggered with CRTL_X_C/ for the
same reason to get a display.

▪ Switch ON the generator.

▪ Set one RGDV for the following procedure or create a new RGDV just for the test (ignore other settings in data
set A):

Enable handswitch at generator desk: Yes

Syncmaster present (e.g. grid contact): No
Exposure switch type: Double Step
Installed radiographical controller: none
Release circuit adaptation unit: none
Installed tomo extension: none

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
 Converter test kit OPTIMUS for OPTIMUS 50/65/80 gen‐
erators release 3.x with converters 4512 104 7231x

▪ Start with 40kV, 50mA, 10ms (= 0.5mAs). If the tube is not adapted set 40kV 0.5mAs.
▪ Establish the second side of the test cable with resistor at backpanel plug
EZX18 (Optimus 50)
or
EZX19 (OM 65/80) (backpanel layout page Z2-5.2).
If EZX19 is used take 1WA X42 or 2WA X42 or 1WB X42 (see layout Z2-15.1).

NOTE If the test cable with resistor is connected, mA-control EZ119 might display a FATAL
error condition (LED on) after a certain time. Then remove the plug and warmstart the
generator.
Do not put the plug back in before the generator is in ready condition. Then continue.

▪ Switch on exposure.
▪ Compare the measured result with the four possible cases of the table.

Case 1:
Both, anode and cathode side, have the same kV rising slope and value up to the point when the exposure
terminates (which is almost the set kV).
If so, increase kV value in 10kV steps up to the programmed max kV tube limit or the max. value which is used
for application and check results with the table cases 1, 2 and 3 accordingly
(settings 50mA + 10ms or 0.5mAs for a non-adapted tube must remain!).
If the result is not case 1 carry out case dependent actions given in the table below and switch a second
exposure.

CAUTION Case 4 must not be carried out with a value higher than 40kV.

12 MEASURING OF PRIMARY CURRENTS

▪ Switch OFF the generator and wait 1 minute for the converter DC to be discharged.
▪ Measure with the oscilloscope:

Signals:
Optimus 50:
Establish one oscilloscope probe (signal and screen) at the current transformer secondary side.
Establish the second probe at EZ130 X3 AV_HT (actual value high voltage) and ground EZ130 X6.

Optimus 65/80:
Establish both oscilloscope probes at the current transformers secondary side.
Check that signal and ground are at the same 1 + 2 transformer connections (polarity).

Trigger:
Use external trigger negative slope with low active CTRL_X_C/ signal at EX74 (backpanel).
If a third probe for an external trigger is not available:

Optimus 50:
Use channel 2 (kV actual value AV_HT = 20kV/Volt) positive slope, trigger value according to probe divider.

Optimus 65/80:
Set the trigger point level at channel 1 or 2 according to the expected amplitudes (see charts).

Time base:
According to charts. A trigger delay time (settings see charts) can be useful to see the start of the signals.

NOTE Digital oscilloscopes sometimes display waveforms and spikes that do not exist
or only parts of the signal are displayed.

The following charts were made with a 100MHz oscilloscope with different magnification factors
(= time base).

▪ Switch the generator back ON.

▪ Set 40kV, 50mA, 10ms (any focus). In case the tube is not adapted set 40kV, 0.5mAs.
▪ Compare waveforms with the charts on the following four pages.

– the individual primary coils (anode or cathode) at a 65/80kW driven by 1 converter each

must always be the same.

With a tolerance of 5% for the primary coil inductance and for the resonance capacitors in the converters the
resonance frequency must be within a range of 17.160kHz (1/f = 58.3µs) and 18.970kHz (1/f = 52.7µs).

Optimus 65/80 with 2 converters:

Both currents must be in phase (if not check probes at current transformer pins 1 + 2).

▪ Compare with chart.

It does not matter whether the tube is adapted or not.

(Fig. 21)

Optimus 50:
If the resonance frequency is not within the specified range the suspected part might be

– the HV transformer
– the resonance capacitor(s) of the converter.

and
ground EZ130 X6.

Settings see chart.

The second probe remains at the primary current anode side (frontal converter 65/80kW or the frontal converter
of Optimus 50).

▪ Switch an exposure and compare with chart.

▪ Place one oscilloscope probe at

EZ130 X5 AV_CA actual value high voltage cathode (also positive)

and
ground EZ130 X6.

▪ Place the second probe at the primary current cathode side (rear converter 65/80kW).
▪ Switch an exposure 40kV, 50mA, 10ms and compare with chart.

Tube adapted:

(Fig. 22)

If kV values are not symmetrical replace HV transformer. Asymmetry error messages like 02HW (warning in the
background) or 02HX (error) might also come up (measured values see detail screens error log).

Tube arcing messages like 02WG (warning in the background) or 02WH (error) might appear. These should be
visible at the oscilloscope trace as break-in of kV within a time of < 10µs.

It might be a problem of the tube, either because of its age or because it has not properly been conditioned.

In case of errors 02HG (warning in the background) and 02HH (error) realign the duty cycle factor according to
alignment of “Function Unit kV”, see appendix.

If a filament is not adapted, adapt it before realigning the duty cycle; otherwise the adjustment is not possible.

12.3 MEASURING OF KV BEHAVIOR WITH A NON-ADAPTED TUBE (OPTIMUS 65/80)

The primary current behavior is different from an adapted condition as the exposure starts with 2A filament current
that is brought up to filament current limit of the selected focus once high voltage is at its nominal value. Meas‐
urements have been made at kV actual value AV_HT EZ130 X3. To check the kV symmetry, use the settings of
chapter 12.2.

13 RECONDITIONING OF THE TUBE(S)

▪ Place one oscilloscope probe at
EZ130 X3 AV_HT actual value high voltage (total kV, 20kV/V) and ground EZ130 X6.

Use large focus only!

▪ Run the reconditioning procedure (see next page) for the applicable kV range only.
If, for instance, 125kV is the max. kV value during normal application, perform reconditioning just up to the
next kV step = 130kV.

If the tube arcs at a certain kV value proceed as follows:

▪ Switch another three exposures with the same parameters and 10s pause between subsequent exposures.
▪ If the last exposure of a sequence does not arc, proceed with next kV step.
▪ If the last exposure still arcs, go one kV step back and start again with the normal procedure.
If this routine has been performed three times without improvement:==> replace the tube!

15 APPENDIX

15.1 ALIGNMENT OF FUNCTION UNIT KV

15.1.1 General information

The actual value of the set kV must be attained at least after 2ms. At kV rise phase there must be neither kV
break-in nor a kV overshoot.

The factor duty cycle is based on an adapted tube and determines at local mains voltage and mains resistance
conditions:

– the kV rise phase

and

– the kV behavior during the exposure in falling load technique

as it takes into account the tolerances of the following FRUs (Field Replaceable Units):

An exchange of one of the ** marked parts requires a realignment of the factor duty cycle.

The factor duty cycle is stored in the memory of PCB CU EZ139. If the CU has to be replaced the CU complete
backup can be reloaded (with the actual factor) to the NVRAM memory or the factor duty cycle must be re-aligned.

During alignment this factor duty cycle must be entered via AGenT. The influence of this factor as a correction
value for the Z-data table is monitored as the UCOMP signal, since the PI-controller is deactivated by the grounded
GAIN_IN signal.

15.1.1.2 Deactivating the kV controller

▪ Connect EZ130 X23 GAIN_IN and X6 GNDA with a short link (use a short wire).

CAUTION This alignment requires exposures with high kV.

Be sure the tube has been warmed up before.

15.1.1.3 Setting of exposure data

a) Set 141kV in case

– of 65/80kW generators
– the tube limit (of at least one tube) is 150kV, perform this adjustment at the tube which has the highest kV limit
programmed.

b) Set 125kV in case

– of 50kW generators
and
– of 65/80kW generators if the programmed application limit of the tube limit is 125kV.

NOTE Any tube arcing during this adjustment requires the execution of the tube conditioning
next as described in Appendix (15.2.TUBE CONDITIONING).
Disconnect the short link between X23 and X6.
Start over this adjustment from chapter 15.1.1.2 onwards if the tube conditioning was
successful.

▪ Set kV and mA values according to the programmed tube limits:

a) 141kV: 200mA at kV_4 (65/80kW)

b) 125kV: 100mA at kV_3 (50kW)

200mA at kV_4 (65/80kW)

▪ Set the exposure time: 40ms

15.1.1.4 Adjustment of the factor for duty cycle

▪ Adjust the factor duty cycle via service software

AGenT by measuring UCOMP with the scope.
▪ Connect the service PC and start AGenT:
Select Menu: Program / FU kV IGBT Pulse Width
Correction
▪ Set the starting value Factor Duty Cycle to 1.00:

▪ If the UCOMP value does not match the requirements type in another factor duty cycle value,
transmit the factor by clicking on “Apply” with the left mouse button and push the active RGDV button to get
the new value validated.
▪ Switch an exposure.
The values are measured in the stationary condition. The transient behavior at the beginning of the exposure
is not taken into account.

Result: In standby the UCOMP value is at about +11V, during exposure the mean value UCOMP must be as
given in table 1 or 2, refer to figure 29:

15.2.3 Procedure
▪ Select large focus only.

NOTE The generator must be in the READY state.

▪ Run reconditioning procedure for an adapted tube. Refer to the following table, left column “Tube adapted”.

or

▪ Run conditioning procedure for a new or non–adapted tube. Refer to the following table right column “Tube
not adapted”.
▪ It is recommended that the high voltage be monitored during conditioning.

Connect the scope:

Channel1: kV AV HT at EZ130 X3 (1V/div), scale: 20kV/V

Trigger external: CTRL_X_C/ at backpanel EZ X74, negative slope
Time base: 2ms/div

▪ In case of problems like tube arcing see the following flowchart EXPOSURE SEQUENCE as an example.
The flowchart applies to the applicable kV range only, e. g.:
109kV is the max. kV value for normal application, set the next higher kV step = 117kV.

NOTE Refer to flowchart EXPOSURE SEQUENCE.

If the tube arcs at a certain kV value, switch another three exposures with same pa‐
rameters and 10s pause between subsequent exposures. In case of success (no
arcing anymore) continue with next kV step of the following table.
If the last exposure still arcs go one kV step back and follow the normal procedure. If
this routine has been performed three times without improvement: ==> Replace the
tube!
