SAFETY NOTICE: This manual contains important safety information. An understanding of this
information is critical to the safe operation of your equipment. Please ensure that
you read the warning notices before using the equipment.
GENERATOR DUTY CYCLE LIMIT
NOTE: THE FOLLOWING SECTION CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION. PLEASE READ AND
UNDERSTAND THIS MATERIAL BEFORE CONTINUING.
Internal X-ray generator components will heat up during normal use of the generator. This is similar to X-ray tube
heating during normal generator operation. The amount of heat produced is proportional to the product of kV, mA,
and time.
Modern X-ray generators are designed to operate with the majority of X-ray tubes over their rated power ranges.
They are designed for operating duty cycles consistent with practical patient examination routines that allow
for reasonable cooling intervals between X-ray exposures.
This X-ray generator has internal duty cycle monitoring to warn of excessive heat build-up. If the generator
calculates that the next exposure will exceed the rated generator duty cycle limit, a warning message “GEN
DUTY WARNING” will be displayed. Further exposures are inhibited at this point, and the generator must be
allowed to cool sufficiently such that this message is no longer displayed.
The generator also monitors the X-ray tube’s thermal switch, and will inhibit exposures when the tube reaches its
thermal limit. It is the responsibility of the installer to implement and verify this interlock.
DAILY X-RAY TUBE WARM-UP PROCEDURE
CAUTION: THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE PRODUCES X-RAYS. OBSERVE ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
TO PROTECT PERSONNEL.
Use this procedure when the generator is first turned on for the day, or when it has not been used for several
hours. This procedure provides for exposures at medium power before the tube is used at maximum mA or kV
values. This will reduce the possibility of damaging the anode and high voltage components. No test setup is
required.
For maximum stability and reliability, use the following techniques at start up:
Select the following:
• Large focal spot.
• 80 kV.
• Normal 50/60 Hz anode rotation.
For a 300 kHU to a 400 kHU tube, use approximately 200 mAs per exposure. For a 200 kHU to 300 kHU tube
use approximately 150 mAs per exposure.
• Depending on the X-ray tube power rating, select either 100 mA or 200 mA.
• Make one (1) to three (3) exposures (depending on tube loading) at 30-second intervals.

2 Safety and Specifications
Page 6 Pixel CP series X-Ray Generator Operator’s Manual 740985 Rev. N
X-ray radiation exposure may be damaging to health, with some effects being cumulative and extending over
periods of many months or even years. X-ray operators should avoid any exposure to the primary beam and
take protective measures to safeguard against scatter radiation. Scatter radiation is caused by any object in the
path of the primary beam and may be of equal or less intensity than the primary beam that exposes the film.
No practical design can incorporate complete protection for operators or service personnel who do not take
adequate safety precautions. Only authorized and properly trained service and operating personnel should
be allowed to work with this X-ray generator equipment. The appropriate personnel must be made aware of
the inherent dangers associated with the servicing of high voltage equipment and the danger of excessive
exposure to X-ray radiation during system operation.
• Operators should be trained on the use of the equipment within the facility. They should have the knowledge
in radiology, and the skills, attitude, and judgment to safely and effectively operate the equipment.
• Operators are trained on the use of the X-ray generator by the installer of the X-ray generator. The operator’s
manual may be used as a training aid.
• Wear protective clothing. Protective aprons with an equivalent of a minimum of 1/64” (0.35 mm) of lead are
recommended.
• To protect the patient against radiation, always use radiation protection accessories in addition to devices
which are fitted to the X-ray equipment.
• Keep as large a distance as possible away from the object being exposed and the X-ray tube assembly.
• Never operate this X-ray equipment in areas where there is a risk of explosion. Detergents and disinfectants,
including those used on patients, may create explosive mixtures of gases. Please observe the relevant
regulations.
• The operator console, or anything electrically connected to it, must never be used within 6 ft (1.8 m) of the
patient environment.
• Do not place liquids (coffee, beverages, flowers, etc) on the control console or generator main cabinet.
• Always ensure adequate ventilation around the control console and generator main cabinet. Do not operate
the equipment near curtains, drapes, etc which may block the ventilation slots.
• The control console must be located inside an X-ray shielded control booth within the X-ray room, or outside
the X-ray room.
• The control console is intended for fixed mounting. It is not a portable device.
• Do not operate the console or generator main cabinet in direct sunlight or near any heat sources.
• Do not operate the console near strong magnetic fields (microwave ovens, speakers, etc), and avoid routing
the console cables near these devices.
• The console and generator main cabinet must be operated in locations that are clean (free of excess dust,
dirt, debris, etc), stable (free of vibration), and secure such that the console cannot slip or tip.
• Only trained maintenance staff may remove the covers of the generator cabinet and the control console.
Do not connect unapproved equipment to the rear of the console. J3 is for connection of an
external hand switch, J4 is a serial port for use by an external computer, and J8 is for the

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC)
In accordance with the intended use, some models of this series of X-ray generators comply with the European
Council Directive concerning Medical Devices. The CE marking affixed to compliant products signifies this. One
of the harmonized standards of this Directive defines the permitted levels of electromagnetic emission from this
equipment and its required immunity from the electromagnetic emissions of other devices.
It is not possible, however, to exclude with absolute certainty the possibility that other high frequency electronic
equipment, which is fully compliant to the EMC regulations, will not adversely affect the operation of this
generator. If the other equipment has a comparatively high level of transmission power and is in close proximity to
the generator, these EMC concerns (the risk of interference) may be more pronounced. It is therefore
recommended that the operation of equipment of this type such as mobile telephones, cordless microphones and
other similar mobile radio equipment be restricted from the vicinity of this X-ray generator.

DAP - DOSE AREA PRODUCT (OPTIONAL)
The DAP function is only available if the optional DAP device is installed in the X-ray system,
and if the DAP function has been enabled in programming.
DAP Overview
• The DAP device requires a brief “settling” period after the generator is switched on.
The console will display the start-up screen during the DAP settling period. If the
DAP does not stabilize within the normal settling time, the console will display the
message DAP NOT READY, and will then proceed to the normal operating mode
without the DAP display. If this happens, it indicates that the DAP did not stabilize in
the normal time. You may wish to switch the generator off and then on again in an
attempt to let the DAP stabilize. If the DAP is still not ready after a second attempt,
you may choose to proceed without DAP and then contact your service
representative.
• The DAP display is reset to zero when the generator is switched off, and then on
again.
Note: A reading of 0mGycm2
indicates that the DAP display has been reset at
power-on or manually reset as described later in this section, and that no
exposures have been taken since it was reset.
Note: Always check local regulations to determine how frequently the DAP
device must be tested. The procedure to test the DAP follows later in this
section.
DAP Display
• Before proceeding with initial dose-area product measurements, ensure that the DAP
display is 0mGycm2
. The DAP display may be manually reset to zero as described in
DAP Reset / Test / Print, following.
• The DAP measures and displays cumulative dose-area product.
• The maximum reading on the DAP display is 9999999. An error message will be
presented when this limit is reached.

15. You may now make changes to other APR techniques if desired by repeating steps 6 to
14.
16. It is suggested that the APR editor be set to DISABLED as described earlier in this
section, in order to avoid unintended APR changes in the future.
PROGRAMMING CM THICKNESS
1. Follow steps 1 to 3 of the previous section (APR EDITOR).
2. Select the desired APR to edit.
3. Select a CM thickness (mAs) or CM thickness (AEC) mode. Select the desired image
receptor, film screen, focal spot, and AEC fields (if applicable) for the selected anatomical
view.
4. The AUX 1 button is used for CM thickness programming. In programming mode (with the
APR EDITOR set to ENABLED), pressing AUX 1 scrolls through CM START → CM
STEP → CM as required to program these parameters.
CM START The minimum CM for the selected technique (CM START range is 1
to 14). To program, refer to step 5.
CM STEP The step size used to establish the CM vs kVp and mAs curve. The
CM STEP range is 1 to 5. To program, refer to step 5.
CM The steps on the CM vs kV and mAs curve. To program, refer to step
5.
5. (a) Determine the minimum and maximum thickness in cm for the selected anatomical
view. Thickness outside of this range cannot be selected later in normal operating
mode, therefore these dimensions should be chosen carefully.
(b) Determine the cm step size by the following formula:
CM Step Size =
8
Maximum thickness (cm) - Minimum thickness (cm)
The calculated step size must be rounded up to the nearest integer, i.e. 1.66 rounds
up to a step size of 2.
(c) Select CM START, then enter the minimum thickness determined in step (a).
(d) Select CM STEP, then enter the cm step size calculated in step (b), maximum step
size = 5.
(e) Select CM. Press the CM - and + buttons to confirm that the minimum and maximum
thickness limits are acceptable. Repeat the above steps if necessary to optimize the
minimum and maximum thickness limits. Set CM to minimum thickness before
attempting to toggle back to CM START, or else an error message GOTO 1st CM
will be presented.
Programming the Console 4
Pixel CP series X-Ray Generator Operator’s Manual 740985 Rev. N Page 37
(f) Press CM - to select the minimum thickness. Set the kV and mAs or kV and backup
mAs as appropriate for the selected thickness. (In CM thickness (mAs) mode, kV and
mAs may be programmed; in CM thickness (AEC) mode, kV and backup mAs may
be programmed).
Refer to Programming the mAs / backup mAs, below for the recommended
procedure to set this parameter.
(g) Press CM + to select the next thickness step. Set the kVp and mAs / backup mAs for
that thickness as per 5 (f).
Nine (9) thickness steps are available, with the step size as previously set. The
desired kV and mAs / backup mAs may be set for each of those 9 thickness steps. In
the normal operating mode, the thickness steps will be 1 cm, regardless of the step
size set in APR edit mode. The console will interpolate between the step sizes set up
in APR edit mode to determine the correct kV and mAs / backup mAs for each 1 cm
thickness step in normal operating mode.
(h) Repeat 5 (g) for the remaining CM steps.
6. When finished editing the APR, press the MENU button. This is the first step necessary to
save the changes. This also allows the option of canceling the changes in the next step.
7. If you do not wish to save the changes, select EXIT (BACK button) to abort the SAVE
function. To save the changes, select SAVE (FORWARD button). The message SAVING
DATA... will briefly appear.
8. Repeat this procedure to edit other anatomical views.
9. Set the APR EDITOR to DISABLED to return to normal operating mode and prevent
inadvertent programming changes.
4 Programming the Console
Page 38 Pixel CP series X-Ray Generator Operator’s Manual 740985 Rev. N
Programming the mAs / backup mAs
1. When programming the mAs (for CM-thickness, mAs mode), or the backup mAs (for CM-
thickness, AEC mode), use the proper mAs (that will produce the correct non-AEC
exposure) for each CM thickness step. This will ensure proper CM-thickness
programming:
• In CM-thickness (mAs mode), the correct mAs will be assigned to each CM thickness
step.
• In CM-thickness (AEC mode), the backup mAs will be nominally two times the
programmed mAs, i.e. if 11 mAs is programmed for a certain CM thickness, the backup
mAs will be nominally 22 mAs. This “doubling” of the programmed mAs to arrive at the
backup mAs is done automatically by the generator when in CM-thickness, AEC mode.
2. The mAs values that are entered during CM-thickness programming are saved in memory
after performing the SAVE function as described above.
• If you are in CM-thickness (AEC mode), and the CM - or + buttons are pressed to
review the programmed mAs values, the mAs display will update to show the “two
times” backup mAs.
• If you are in CM-thickness (AEC mode), and then select CM-thickness (mAs mode) via
the technique selector button, the “two times” backup mAs value will be displayed for
that CM thickness. Press the CM - or + buttons to update the display and use the
normal mAs, not the doubled backup mAs that was carried forward.
• If you are in CM-thickness (mAs mode), and then select CM-thickness (AEC mode) via
the technique selector button, the normal mAs value will be displayed for that CM
thickness. Press the CM - or + buttons to update the display and use the “two times”
backup mAs, not the normal mAs that was carried forward.
MAKING CHANGES TO THE APR TEXT
The anatomical sections and views as displayed in the APR window may be altered to suit
your requirements, but you will need to contact your service representative to have this done.
Use copies of the worksheet on the next page to record your desired changes. One sheet
should be used per APR view; the master copy should be photocopied as many times as
necessary to record the required changes.

TABLES
Table 1 following shows the nominal mAs resulting from preselected ms and mA values. This
table also shows the range and interrelation of these loading factors. For example, if 20 mAs is
selected at 200 mA, it can be seen that the exposure time will be approximately 100 ms. This
is determined by reading down the 200 mA column to 20 mAs; then by reading the nominal
exposure time 100 ms as shown at the left side of the table, along the 20 mAs row.
An extra copy of this table is provided on pages 61 to 70 that may be photocopied as required,
or removed from this manual and placed in a suitable location as per local requirements.

  • 5. 1 Introduction Page 4 Pixel CP series X-Ray Generator Operator’s Manual 740985 Rev. N SAFETY NOTICE: This manual contains important safety information. An understanding of this information is critical to the safe operation of your equipment. Please ensure that you read the warning notices before using the equipment. GENERATOR DUTY CYCLE LIMIT NOTE: THE FOLLOWING SECTION CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION. PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS MATERIAL BEFORE CONTINUING. Internal X-ray generator components will heat up during normal use of the generator. This is similar to X-ray tube heating during normal generator operation. The amount of heat produced is proportional to the product of kV, mA, and time. Modern X-ray generators are designed to operate with the majority of X-ray tubes over their rated power ranges. They are designed for operating duty cycles consistent with practical patient examination routines that allow for reasonable cooling intervals between X-ray exposures. This X-ray generator has internal duty cycle monitoring to warn of excessive heat build-up. If the generator calculates that the next exposure will exceed the rated generator duty cycle limit, a warning message “GEN DUTY WARNING” will be displayed. Further exposures are inhibited at this point, and the generator must be allowed to cool sufficiently such that this message is no longer displayed. The generator also monitors the X-ray tube’s thermal switch, and will inhibit exposures when the tube reaches its thermal limit. It is the responsibility of the installer to implement and verify this interlock. DAILY X-RAY TUBE WARM-UP PROCEDURE CAUTION: THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE PRODUCES X-RAYS. OBSERVE ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT PERSONNEL. Use this procedure when the generator is first turned on for the day, or when it has not been used for several hours. This procedure provides for exposures at medium power before the tube is used at maximum mA or kV values. This will reduce the possibility of damaging the anode and high voltage components. No test setup is required. For maximum stability and reliability, use the following techniques at start up: Select the following: • Large focal spot. • 80 kV. • Normal 50/60 Hz anode rotation. For a 300 kHU to a 400 kHU tube, use approximately 200 mAs per exposure. For a 200 kHU to 300 kHU tube use approximately 150 mAs per exposure. • Depending on the X-ray tube power rating, select either 100 mA or 200 mA. • Make one (1) to three (3) exposures (depending on tube loading) at 30-second intervals.
  • 6. Pixel CP series X-Ray Generator Operator’s Manual 740985 Rev.

  • 7. 2 Safety and Specifications Page 6 Pixel CP series X-Ray Generator Operator’s Manual 740985 Rev. N X-ray radiation exposure may be damaging to health, with some effects being cumulative and extending over periods of many months or even years. X-ray operators should avoid any exposure to the primary beam and take protective measures to safeguard against scatter radiation. Scatter radiation is caused by any object in the path of the primary beam and may be of equal or less intensity than the primary beam that exposes the film. No practical design can incorporate complete protection for operators or service personnel who do not take adequate safety precautions. Only authorized and properly trained service and operating personnel should be allowed to work with this X-ray generator equipment. The appropriate personnel must be made aware of the inherent dangers associated with the servicing of high voltage equipment and the danger of excessive exposure to X-ray radiation during system operation. • Operators should be trained on the use of the equipment within the facility. They should have the knowledge in radiology, and the skills, attitude, and judgment to safely and effectively operate the equipment. • Operators are trained on the use of the X-ray generator by the installer of the X-ray generator. The operator’s manual may be used as a training aid. • Wear protective clothing. Protective aprons with an equivalent of a minimum of 1/64” (0.35 mm) of lead are recommended. • To protect the patient against radiation, always use radiation protection accessories in addition to devices which are fitted to the X-ray equipment. • Keep as large a distance as possible away from the object being exposed and the X-ray tube assembly. • Never operate this X-ray equipment in areas where there is a risk of explosion. Detergents and disinfectants, including those used on patients, may create explosive mixtures of gases. Please observe the relevant regulations. • The operator console, or anything electrically connected to it, must never be used within 6 ft (1.8 m) of the patient environment. • Do not place liquids (coffee, beverages, flowers, etc) on the control console or generator main cabinet. • Always ensure adequate ventilation around the control console and generator main cabinet. Do not operate the equipment near curtains, drapes, etc which may block the ventilation slots. • The control console must be located inside an X-ray shielded control booth within the X-ray room, or outside the X-ray room. • The control console is intended for fixed mounting. It is not a portable device. • Do not operate the console or generator main cabinet in direct sunlight or near any heat sources. • Do not operate the console near strong magnetic fields (microwave ovens, speakers, etc), and avoid routing the console cables near these devices. • The console and generator main cabinet must be operated in locations that are clean (free of excess dust, dirt, debris, etc), stable (free of vibration), and secure such that the console cannot slip or tip. • Only trained maintenance staff may remove the covers of the generator cabinet and the control console. Do not connect unapproved equipment to the rear of the console.

  • 12. Safety and Specifications 2 Pixel CP series X-Ray Generator Operator’s Manual 740985 Rev. N Page 11 ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC) In accordance with the intended use, some models of this series of X-ray generators comply with the European Council Directive concerning Medical Devices. The CE marking affixed to compliant products signifies this. One of the harmonized standards of this Directive defines the permitted levels of electromagnetic emission from this equipment and its required immunity from the electromagnetic emissions of other devices. It is not possible, however, to exclude with absolute certainty the possibility that other high frequency electronic equipment, which is fully compliant to the EMC regulations, will not adversely affect the operation of this generator. If the other equipment has a comparatively high level of transmission power and is in close proximity to the generator, these EMC concerns (the risk of interference) may be more pronounced. It is therefore recommended that the operation of equipment of this type such as mobile telephones, cordless microphones and other similar mobile radio equipment be restricted from the vicinity of this X-ray generator.

You may now make changes to other APR techniques if desired by repeating steps 6 to 14. 16. It is suggested that the APR editor be set to DISABLED as described earlier in this section, in order to avoid unintended APR changes in the future. PROGRAMMING CM THICKNESS 1. Follow steps 1 to 3 of the previous section (APR EDITOR). 2. Select the desired APR to edit. 3. Select a CM thickness (mAs) or CM thickness (AEC) mode. Select the desired image receptor, film screen, focal spot, and AEC fields (if applicable) for the selected anatomical view. 4. The AUX 1 button is used for CM thickness programming. In programming mode (with the APR EDITOR set to ENABLED), pressing AUX 1 scrolls through CM START → CM STEP → CM as required to program these parameters. CM START The minimum CM for the selected technique (CM START range is 1 to 14). To program, refer to step 5. CM STEP The step size used to establish the CM vs kVp and mAs curve. The CM STEP range is 1 to 5. To program, refer to step 5. CM The steps on the CM vs kV and mAs curve. To program, refer to step 5. 5. (a) Determine the minimum and maximum thickness in cm for the selected anatomical view. Thickness outside of this range cannot be selected later in normal operating mode, therefore these dimensions should be chosen carefully. (b) Determine the cm step size by the following formula: CM Step Size = 8 Maximum thickness (cm) - Minimum thickness (cm) The calculated step size must be rounded up to the nearest integer, i.e. 1.66 rounds up to a step size of 2. (c) Select CM START, then enter the minimum thickness determined in step (a). (d) Select CM STEP, then enter the cm step size calculated in step (b), maximum step size = 5. (e) Select CM. Press the CM - and + buttons to confirm that the minimum and maximum thickness limits are acceptable. Repeat the above steps if necessary to optimize the minimum and maximum thickness limits. Set CM to minimum thickness before attempting to toggle back to CM START, or else an error message GOTO 1st CM will be presented.
  • 38. Programming the Console 4 Pixel CP series X-Ray Generator Operator’s Manual 740985 Rev. N Page 37 (f) Press CM - to select the minimum thickness. Set the kV and mAs or kV and backup mAs as appropriate for the selected thickness. (In CM thickness (mAs) mode, kV and mAs may be programmed; in CM thickness (AEC) mode, kV and backup mAs may be programmed). Refer to Programming the mAs / backup mAs, below for the recommended procedure to set this parameter. (g) Press CM + to select the next thickness step. Set the kVp and mAs / backup mAs for that thickness as per 5 (f). Nine (9) thickness steps are available, with the step size as previously set. The desired kV and mAs / backup mAs may be set for each of those 9 thickness steps. In the normal operating mode, the thickness steps will be 1 cm, regardless of the step size set in APR edit mode. The console will interpolate between the step sizes set up in APR edit mode to determine the correct kV and mAs / backup mAs for each 1 cm thickness step in normal operating mode. (h) Repeat 5 (g) for the remaining CM steps. 6. When finished editing the APR, press the MENU button. This is the first step necessary to save the changes. This also allows the option of canceling the changes in the next step. 7. If you do not wish to save the changes, select EXIT (BACK button) to abort the SAVE function. To save the changes, select SAVE (FORWARD button). The message SAVING DATA... will briefly appear. 8. Repeat this procedure to edit other anatomical views. 9. Set the APR EDITOR to DISABLED to return to normal operating mode and prevent inadvertent programming changes.
  • 39. 4 Programming the Console Page 38 Pixel CP series X-Ray Generator Operator’s Manual 740985 Rev. N Programming the mAs / backup mAs 1. When programming the mAs (for CM-thickness, mAs mode), or the backup mAs (for CM- thickness, AEC mode), use the proper mAs (that will produce the correct non-AEC exposure) for each CM thickness step. This will ensure proper CM-thickness programming: • In CM-thickness (mAs mode), the correct mAs will be assigned to each CM thickness step. • In CM-thickness (AEC mode), the backup mAs will be nominally two times the programmed mAs, i.e. if 11 mAs is programmed for a certain CM thickness, the backup mAs will be nominally 22 mAs. This “doubling” of the programmed mAs to arrive at the backup mAs is done automatically by the generator when in CM-thickness, AEC mode. 2. The mAs values that are entered during CM-thickness programming are saved in memory after performing the SAVE function as described above. • If you are in CM-thickness (AEC mode), and the CM - or + buttons are pressed to review the programmed mAs values, the mAs display will update to show the “two times” backup mAs. • If you are in CM-thickness (AEC mode), and then select CM-thickness (mAs mode) via the technique selector button, the “two times” backup mAs value will be displayed for that CM thickness. Press the CM - or + buttons to update the display and use the normal mAs, not the doubled backup mAs that was carried forward. • If you are in CM-thickness (mAs mode), and then select CM-thickness (AEC mode) via the technique selector button, the normal mAs value will be displayed for that CM thickness. Press the CM - or + buttons to update the display and use the “two times” backup mAs, not the normal mAs that was carried forward. MAKING CHANGES TO THE APR TEXT The anatomical sections and views as displayed in the APR window may be altered to suit your requirements, but you will need to contact your service representative to have this done. Use copies of the worksheet on the next page to record your desired changes. One sheet should be used per APR view; the master copy should be photocopied as many times as necessary to record the required changes.

  • 50. Pixel CP series X-Ray Generator Operator’s Manual 740985 Rev. N Page 49 GENERATOR EXPOSURE 6 TABLES Table 1 following shows the nominal mAs resulting from preselected ms and mA values. This table also shows the range and interrelation of these loading factors. For example, if 20 mAs is selected at 200 mA, it can be seen that the exposure time will be approximately 100 ms. This is determined by reading down the 200 mA column to 20 mAs; then by reading the nominal exposure time 100 ms as shown at the left side of the table, along the 20 mAs row. An extra copy of this table is provided on pages 61 to 70 that may be photocopied as required, or removed from this manual and placed in a suitable location as per local requirements.
