NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption
and reflection from structures, objects and people.
*Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for cellular telephones and land mobile radios,
amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast, and TV broadcast cannot be estimated accurately. To assess the
electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be performed. If
the measured field strength exceeds the RF compliance level above, observe the Silhouette VR system to
verify normal operation in each use location. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be
necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the [EQUIPMENT and/or SYSTEM].
**Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths are less than 3 V/m.

SECTION 2
OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE OF THIS MANUAL
This direction will lead you in a correct sequence through the manuals needed to
install the equipment. Following the suggested sequence will result in an orderly
installation. However, extenuating circumstances may dictate a deviation from
the recommended sequence. Feel free to deviate, but keep track of your
progress by checking off the tasks in the flowchart as you complete them.
Check equipment according to the packing list (Product Delivery Instructions) for
your system.
2-1
Installation Plan
The main steps in the installation plan are easily seen by looking at the Table of
Contents for Chapters 1 through 4. The plan objectives are to:
1. Give a logical installation order which recognizes mechanical and electrical
interface areas
2. Test and adjust each subsystem independently.
To obtain a good overall view of how these objectives are to be achieved review
the Table of Contents for this document before beginning the installation work.
Then, if it is necessary to deviate from the stated plan, you will be aware of the
essential interface areas. This will give you the information required to make
another effective plan which applies to your particular situation.

1. Unpack table base. Level the table base and shim as necessary with shims. If possible place shims
close to the anchor bolts. Check longitudinal and transversal leveling with an extended level (such
as a 3-foot or 1 meter level) placed over the table top bearing and film carriage. Do not place level
over bearings at foot end of table. For longitudinal leveling, place the level over the inside portion of
the bearings.
2. After the table base leveling is verified, tighten the anchor bolts, then re-check leveling again and
The tabletop bearings are factory adjusted. Make sure the table base is
shimmed to provide a level tabletop frame before making any
adjustments to the table bearings.
3. If the table top is not level, adjust the table top bearings position by a provided spanner.

PROCEDURE
Development Equipment
Check development Equipment
-
Check that solution concentrations and temperatures comply with the manufacturers
specifications.
Plot a sensitometrics curve to determine the gamma value of the film and to assess solution
quality
All the gray scale levels should be visible, and the base fog should not exceed 0.2 for the
development equipment to be correct.
Note:
This procedure normally requires a sensitometer. If this is not available, proceed as follows :
run 2 exposures, using the same screen-film combination but with different mAs settings, mAs(f1)
and mAs(f2).
develop and measure the density d of each, d(f1) and d(f2). (Measured optical densities must be
between 1.0 and 2.0)
Preliminary Remarks
1.. All calibrations must be performed with a source to image receptor distance between 0.8m and
1.2m.
2.. Center the phantom over the middle pickup tube field.
3.. A calibration procedure has to be performed for each combination of ionization chamber and
screen-film.
4.. If the same screen-film combinations are used for several ionization chambers (e.g. positionner and
bucky), adjust the positionner chamber first, and adust KG only for the other chambers.
For known screen-film combination or ionization chamber, KVEF, KT and KG could be entered with
MENU4 AEC (F5 key). REFER to Calibration JOB card "SERVICE SOFTWARE USER GUIDE .

Principle
The automation of this calibration is to use the optical density entered after one exposure or four
exposures to predict and propose the parameter for the next exposures. This leads to a reduction in the
number of exposures to run to find mAs, kV and reference AEC for a given optical density.

1. Press T key and input Destination Density, then validates it with W key. Pressing T key deselect
Destination Density. Run the first exposures proposed by the software, develop the films and
measure the optical density. For each exposure, the software records the AEC signal from the
ionization chamber. The operator then selects the exposure number with F1/F2 keys, enters the
associated read optical density with key pad, and validates it with W key.
Note: There is no Beep during the exposure! The laptop Icon will light during X-ray.
2. When the optical densities have been entered, the software calculate the parameters for the next
exposure regarding the result of the previous ones (AEC signal from ionization chamber and optical
density).
3. The operator should run the next exposure proposed by the software, develop the film and measure
the optical density. The operator then selects the exposure number with F1/F2 keys and enters the
associated read optical density with the keypad, and validates it with the W key. The software
records the AEC signal from the ionization chamber. At each optical density entered, the software
evaluates if those values permit it to find the mAs0, which provides the target density for this
screen-film combination and the kV. When the mAs0 is found, the software calculates the KVEF
associated, then the V key starts to flicker to ask the operator to validate the calibration by pressing
the V keystroke.
4. Select another kV and repeat the previous operation for all kV steps
Note: Dont forget to change the phantom thickness when changing kV settings!
When all kV values are calibrated, the software extend the result and calculates the equivalent mAs (for
an optical density equal to the target value) to the kV,mA plan.
At the end of the first screen-film KVEF calibration , the operator selects the KT time calibration with the
V key after the V key has been illuminated.

Summary
Test exposures are made at specified settings, first in Three Point mode, then in
Two Point mode, (without the use of AEC, Automatic exposure Control). The
values of parameters read during the exposure are noted and compared with
specified limits.
In each mode, exposures are made first with the small focal spot, then with the
large focal spot, at kVp values of 60, 80, and 130 kVp.
In Three Point mode, each exposure is made at 20 mAs, and exposures are
made with different values of mA and exposure time at each kVp value.
In Two Point mode, exposures are made with different values of mAs at each
kVp value.
The parameters to be set for each exposure are specified in Tables 1, 2, 3, and 4
of this document.

Procedure
Refer to Tables 1, 2, 3, and 4. Make a series of exposures corresponding to the
values specified in the tables, and note the actual parameters displayed for each
exposure in the spaces provided.
For each parameter and each exposure, the tables specify acceptable high and
low values.

A Kernel
These functions are the Jedi core. They are present in all versions of the
generator.
A function can be unique for all products, or can have several different releases
based on product specification.
Examples:
The anode rotation function is available in 2 releases:
low speed rotation for applications where the tube has a max rotation of
3000 rpm
high speed/low speed rotation for applications where at least one of the
tubes can use
8000-10000 rpm

Diagnostics
There are different levels of diagnostics.
1-2
Power-On Diagnostics
At power-up the kV control performs its own initialisation, checks its memory
integrity (checksum of program and NVRAM) and starts the communication with
its peripherals as well as the system. Communication is permanently checked
afterwards. It then initialises the Rotation board and Heater board with their
respective database parameters and loads kV control FPGA.
Eight LEDs (S7..S0) on the kV control board show the software status.
During power-on, the Heater board and the Rotation board CPUs are initialised
and check their memory integrity and hardware. If a problem is encountered, a
PRD error is reported to the kV control.
1-3
Live Diagnostics
1. Under application faults will be reported through an error code on the
Service Laptop. Some are straightforward and convey the root cause. Refer
to the recommended action in the error list.
2. Diagnostics run separately:
heating function
rotation function
3. Manual Diagnostics
Through a troubleshooting guide based on an error message or when the
generator does not reply.

Error Code Structure
The error code structure described in this chapter applies to JEDI error detection
and logging. The JEDI error log file can be accessed from the system through the
system console or a laptop (JEDI error log upload functionality).
When an error is detected, it is logged in the JEDI error log file. The file contains
a maximum of sixty four error logs.
Each log shows the following structure:

Description
Errors which have no impact on the system operation.
Errors detected in background diagnostics during application. They are referred
as Warning errors, to monitor drifts and used for engineering tracking.
The generator phase remains unchanged.
Errors are stored in the JEDI error log.
Errors which are detected by JEDI and that are recoverable automatically without
noticeable effect on the system, such as error related to recovered tube spits.
The generator phase remains unchanged.
Errors which usually occur during exposure.
Errors detected by JEDI during exposure. They stop the exposure and revert the
generator into a safe state.
Error will be reset on Exposure Command release. It will require another Exposure
Command to restart the sequence.
The generator phase is set to error until the error is cleared.
Errors which are related to any hardware failures, software application or
communication errors.
JEDI will revert to a safe state.
If preparation is in progress, it is stopped.
Errors are cleared either by a reset error action from the system (for system having a
reset error mechanism) or by a prep release or by a new prep command.
The generator phase is set to error until the error is cleared.
Application cannot work if errors are persistent.
These codes may appear when the generator or tube temperature limits are reached.
The application waits until the thermal information disappears. The error information is
temporary.
The generator phase is set to error until the error is cleared.

Number Of Occurrences
The field number of occurrences is used to log the same error occurring several
times consecutively. Instead of filling the error log file with the same error which
has occurred consecutively several times, the first error is logged and successive
errors are recorded through increasing the number of occurrences field.
Date & Time
1-11
The field date & time stores the date and time when the error occurred. This is
the JEDI internal date and time which may be different from the system date and
time. In the case of logging the same error the date/time is of the most recent
entry.

List all the potential error codes that can be issued by JEDI Generator.
Power On Diagnostics
Refer to theory of operation for power-on sequence. This paragraph in this
section is to provide meaning of boards LED status. The LED display status is
offering useful information at a glance to proceed to error code based
troubleshooting. Whenever in doubt, a simple step is to watch the LED status
display on the kV control board, than the Rotation and Heater.

Error Reporting
The control console only displays the simplified error code from the Jedi
generator.
Whenever a generator error is displayed on the operator console, the Jedi
errorlog upload functionality is available to get more detailed information about
the error .This function is performed from the service laptop.
The simplified error code is used to find the Jedi error code in the Jedi errorlog
file.
With this information, look at the Jedi trouble shooting table to find the FRU to
replace.

Warning Errors
Warning errors are the result of automated and regular background monitoring
for either software events or voltages exceeding thresholds.
Those errors are merely for engineering usage and do not indicate any hardware
error failure.
However, as they are logged into the Generator Err_log file, just as the previous
list of errors, they are listed here to help error review. If many are seen when
viewing error log, we recommend reporting this with a CQA, since the equipment
is still operating.

Purpose:
The purpose of this test is to drive the AEC function in order to identify a faulty AEC, IF or kV control
board FRU or the wrong connection between the AEC board and ion chambers.
Pre-requisites:
kV Control board alive and running: S0-S7 LEDs are lit successively or a combination of them blink
Test type:
Automated, with the use of Service Laptop
Sequence:
Select AEC function in menu 1 on Service Laptop.
Press V to run the test.
AEC function is verified through a series of 7 tests as follows:
A voltage reference is switched to one input of the AEC select multiplex and count up gain is applied.
Nominal value of return volatge = 4.76 V
Test 3 is OK if:
A portion of HV power supply is switched to one input of the AEC select multiplex:

NO LOAD HV DIAGNOSTICS
Purpose:
The purpose of this test is to verify that the HV power inverter and HV tank are working properly. The
exposure is taken as in application mode except that no filament drive nor anode rotation is running.
Verification is made that the inverter currents are correctly set and that kV regulation is operating
properly. As no filament drive is applied, no XRays are generated.
This test also allow to separate Generator from HV cable or x-ray tube problem by running it with or
without the HV cables plugged on the HV tank.
Pre-requisites:
Generator input line in an acceptable range (380 V -10% to 480 V +10% for 3-phase AC input)
kV control board alive and running: S0-S7 Leds are lit successively or a combination of them blink
