CHAPTER 1 - BEFORE YOU START
SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
The goal of this document is to guide the service representative through an entire
X-ray room installation and to provide Diagnostic and Calibration information for
troubleshooting and repair.
The following On-site Requirements must be accounted for prior to beginning

installation of the system.
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.
1-1
2-2 Interconnection
Interconnection of products by furnished cables or contractor supplied wiring is

indicated by numbered MIS runs in the installation sections. Run interconnect
charts are available which describe the connection and function of each wire.
For Silhouette VR system, refer to the following:
Silhouette VR system Cable Maps (Chapter 8)

PROCEDURE
Development Equipment
Check development Equipment

- Check that the automatic processor is available
- 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)
- use the formula below to determine gamma :
- gamma = ( d(f2) - d(f1) ) / log10 (mAs(f2)/mAs (f1))
- if gamma is not between 2 and 3 change or renew the solution
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 .
3-26
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.

- F1/F2 keys to select the exposure number
- 0 to 9 keys to enter the optical density (target or measured)
The operator could by-pass this calibration in depressing V key again.
The software uses the KVEF calibration to find the thickness for the first KTIME exposures : if the mAs
for 80kV, 15cm of plexi or water thickness are lower than 32mAs, the software calculates the necessary
plexi or water thickness to obtain more than 32 mAs. The calculated plexi or water thickness is
displayed.
1. Set the plexi or water thickness indicated on the Service Terminal display
2. Run the proposed exposures (0.5s) develop the film and measure the optical density for each image.
The operator then selects the exposure number with F1/F2/ keys, and enters the associated read
optical density with key pad, and validates it with W key. Repeat the operation for the other proposed
exposures (1s, 2s, 3.2s)
3. If the mAs for 80kV, 15cm of plexi or water thickness is greater than 2.5mAs, the software calculates
the necessary plexi or water thickness to obtain less than 2.5 mAs. The calculated plexi or water
thickness is displayed..
4. Set the the plexi or water thickness indicated on the Service Terminal display
5. Run the proposed exposure (10ms), develop the film, measure the optical density, enter and validate
the value with W key.
The software calculate Ktime parameters.
5. The operator validates the Ktime calibration with V key. For the first screen-film calibration, the
software then proposes the KF calibration. By_pass it with V key again.

KG Parameter Acquisition (Grid Correction)
This KG procedure has to be followed if the same film/screen combination is used on the second
ionisation chamber.
If no second ionization chamber is present, press key R (end of calibration).
For a multiple ionization chamber, the operator runs the previous calibration (KVEF, KTIME for each
film screen combination for one ionization chamber) and runs the KG calibration for the other ionization.

Preliminary Remarks
Checksums must be validated at end of generator setup or

NOTICE whenever a parameter is changed.
In the checksum validation process, the processor computes a number which is a function of all the
setup parameters. When the generator is powered up, this number is computed, i.e. the sum
is checked.
If the two numbers differ, the generator displays an error code, indicating that one or more parameters
have been changed since the last time the sums were checked, or that a RAM-related fault has
occurred.
Note: X-ray generation is inhibited if there is a checksum error.

2-4 Architecture
Refer to Illustration 19: Jedi Generator / Functional Architecture

The Jedi family is composed of 3 elements:
2-4-1 A Kernel
High voltage chain composed of kV control, HV power inverter and HV tank
Anode rotation function
Tube filaments heater function
Control bus for communication between the functions
DC bus for power distribution to each function
Input voltage to DC conversion: AC/DC function

CHAPTER 6 - EXCEPTION HANDLING AND ERROR CODES
SECTION 1
EXCEPTION HANDLING
JEDI software performs auto-test at power up and continuously monitors the
correct operation of its functions during application. Any malfunction is stored in
the JEDI error log. Errors found can only be reported if the generator is powered
on and functional.
1-1 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
inverter gate command diagnostic
inverter in short circuit diagnostic
no load HV function diagnostics
3. Manual Diagnostics
Through a troubleshooting guide based on an error message or when the

generator does not reply.
6-1
1-4 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:
Simplified Generator Error Class Error Code Data Number of Date & time
error code Phase associated occurrences
with the error
code
The fields are described in the following paragraphs.
1-5 Simplified Error Code Definition
The simplified error code is a grouping of the JEDI error codes. This field gives a
rapid understanding of which part of JEDI is faulty.
Simplified Error Code Description

30 Tube spits errors
40 Rotation errors
50 Heater errors
60 Exposure errors (HV inverter + mA measure + exposure control
70 Power supply errors (low voltage + DC bus)
80 Hardware errors (internal communications + cables)
90 Application errors (saved RAM + software)
100 External communication errors
110 Thermal errors
10 Rotation warnings (engineering use)
20 Heater warnings (engineering use)
25 LVPS warnings (engineering use)
27 Application warnings (mainly saved RAM battery change)
6-2
1-6 Generator Phase Definition

The generator phase field contains the state of the generator when the error
occurred.
Generator Phase Description

0 idle: entered in diagnostic mode
1 powered up; waiting for configuration
2 Stand by: configuration completed, waiting for a preparation command
3 Preparation in progress: JEDI gets ready to take X-rays
4 Ready for exposures (rotation at speed; filament; HV inverter drive ready;
no errors): waiting for an exposure command
5 High voltage on
6 Error detected and not yet cleared
1-7 Error Class Definition
There are five classes of errors that correspond to different levels of impact to the
system. The class of errors correspond to the seriousness of the errors.
Class Description
1 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.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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.
Application cannot work if errors are persistent.
5 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.
6-3
1-8 Error Code Definition
Each error code comprises two fields (which cannot be generated and used
separately);
the first field describes the JEDI function which is faulty (referred to as
the function code)
the second field describes the error detected.
Example: error code 0306 means:
03: high voltage generation function;
06: no kV feedback on anode.

1-9 Data Associated With The Error Code
The field data associated with the error code shows detailed information over
the state of the generator when the error occurred.
Examples: rotation high speed acceleration state, small focus preheat, tube
number 1 selected.
1-10 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.
1-11 Date & Time
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.

2-7 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.

LAMP HOLDER UNTIL IT COOLS DOWN. MUST WEAR CLEAN GLOVE AND AVOID
ANY STAIN ON THE LAMP BULB AND BE CAUTIOUS SO AS NOT BREAK BULB TO
HURT HAND OR EYES.
2. Mount new lamp

Insert new lamp to the position (to make the bulb conductor contact with the lamp socket.
Verify if there is misalignment . Usually, the lamp and mirror doesnt need adjusting. So if
misalignment occur, loosen the two screws (part 1 of Figure 3)to adjust lamp socket slightly
to compensate the misalignment in transverse direction, adjust the mirror(part 2 of Figure 3)
angle to compensate the misalignment in longitude direction (refer to Figure 3) by loosening
the screw(part 1 of Figure 3) after removing the center cross window.
WHEN ADJUST THE MIRROR ANGLE, NEVER CONTACT IT DIRECTLY BY HAND TO

WARNING AVOID LEAVING ANY STAIN ON THE MIRROR. THIS SHALL BE DONE BY QUALIFIED
FIELD ENGINEER WITH CLEAN GLOVE. OTHERWISE, IT WOULD LEAD TO THE
DETERIORATING FOR PERFORMANCE OF MIRROR.
