Goal: Tube conditioning is necessary to prepare the tube for exposures with high voltage

Precondition: select the large focus

Collimator has been closed

cover the collimator with lead cover plate or lead apron

system is in application mode

connect the scope to EH:X3 (1V/DIV),scale 20kV/V, trigger external CTRL_X_C/ at EH:X8 Time Base 2ms/div

Procedure: please execute the conditioning with the following procedure (values)

Result:

Please import the following text in the helpscreen.

Explanation: Warning! Radiation is released during the procedure!

The door of the exam. room must be closed.

The collimator of the selected tube must be closed.

The II should be protected against X-ray with a lead apron.

Connect the oszilloscope to the measuring points mentioned

This procedure must be performed for each new installation, tube replacement, but also if a symptom points to any kind of tube arcing.

The tube to be conditioned must be selected. Select the tube on the UI.

If possible release the exposures from a radiation protected area.

During the adjustment X-rays are released with an increasing kV. The kV value reached without arcing of the tube must be entered into the result field.

Procedure:

Select the kV/ mAs start values mentioned on the left side of the screen.

Make an exposure and wait 20sec. ´till you release the next exposures

Increase the kV until you reach the max. kV. If an arcing is detected, ERROR number or displayed on the scope

decrease the kV one step and try the procedure once again.

The maximum reached value without arcing has to be filled in the “corrected kV max. “ field.

This value determines the max. kV for application and adaption.
