1. SAFETY WARNING
CP160D/CP200D/CP225D User Manual

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICES

1.1 X-ray radiation

X-rays are an ionizing radiation and pose a threat to the health of anybody who is willingly or
unwillingly exposed to these radiations. Your CP160D/CP200D/CP225D generator emits such X-ray
radiation when energized. It is therefore essential that the persons operating the equipment
understand the risks of working with X-rays and have received a formal training on using X-ray
equipment safely.
Although the risks and dangers of high energy X-ray are well known, the risks and danger of
prolonged exposure to low levels of X-ray are far less studied and documented. ICM therefore
recommends following the ALARA principle and to minimize exposure to X-ray to be As Low As
Reasonably Achievable.
ICM strongly recommends that the use of the CP160D/CP200D/CP225D X-ray generators be strictly
limited to personal who took part in a suitable training, understand and acknowledge the potential
dangers of working with X-ray radiation and have a proficient knowledge of operating the equipment
and safety requirements to ensure appropriate protection to both themselves or any other persons
who may directly or indirectly be exposed to X-rays. ICM also suggest verifying all current regulations
that are in place for the location where the CP160D/CP200D/CP225D generator will be used and
that these regulations are being observed.
ICM generators are solely designed, m anufactured and sold for NDT and security
applications. It is strictly forbidden to use them on live hum ans or anim als.
ICM can in no way be held liable or responsible for any accidents or dam ages caused
by the incorrect use of its generators or failure to com ply to local regulations
regarding to working with X-rays.

1.2 Heat and cooling

During the operation of your CP160D/CP200D/CP225D equipment, heat is generated in both the
CP160D/CP200D/CP225D X-ray generator and its PowerBox control unit. Your
CP160D/CP200D/CP225D equipment is fully protected against any overheating event and for this
purpose several thermal sensors and protections have been included in the design of the
CP160D/CP200D/CP225D. The cooling of the CP160D/CP200D/CP225D X-ray generator and its
PowerBox control unit both have built-in air cooling which is sufficient to cool the equipment during
normal operation provided that sufficient space is provided for the air to circulate around the heat
conveying parts.
The use of external cooling agents such as water, oil or ice to accelerate the cooling is strictly
forbidden and will void any warranty claim in case of damage to the equipment.
The exhaust air of the CP160D/CP200D/CP225D X-ray generator can reach temperatures up to
125°C! Allow the generator to cool down in stand-by mode after long exposures before handling to
avoid injuries due to contact with hot surfaces.

CP160D/CP200D/CP225D User Manual

1.3 Pressurized gas

The CP160D/CP200D/CP225D X-ray generator contains pressurized SF6 gas. Do not attempt to
open the pressurized tank without proper training and tooling as incorrect disassembly may cause
subassemblies to break off and be projected explosively.

1.4 Class II laser

The laser pointer mounted on the carousel of the CP160D/CP200D/CP225D generator is a class II
laser device. (low power < 1mW) Viewing directly into a class II laser beam for long periods of time (i.e.
> 15 minutes) could causes damage to the eyes. Avoid looking into a Class II laser beam or pointing a
Class II laser beam into another person's eyes. Avoid viewing Class II laser beams with telescopic
devices. Realize that the bright light of a Class II laser beam into your eyes will cause a normal
reaction to look away or close your eyes. This response is expected to protect you from Class II laser
damage to the eyes.

2. INTRODUCTION
CP160D/CP200D/CP225D User Manual

2.1 The CP160D/CP200D/CP225D, PowerBox and

PowerModule
The CP160D/CP200D/CP225D is the first in a new series of ICM’s famous Site-X portable X-ray
generators.
With it, ICM extends its range and brings a 200kV constant potential generator to the market which
will be followed closely by a 320 kV and a 400kV constant potential model in the near future. The
CP160D/CP200D/CP225D has a maximum power output of 900Watt and with its super lightweight
and rugged design, the CP160D/CP200D/CP225D generator will be very easy to handle, even in the
roughest conditions.
With the new CP160D/CP200D/CP225D also comes a new control unit, the PowerBox, which will
provide a 380 DC voltage supply from which the CP160D/CP200D/CP225D’s Power module will
generate the required power signals to achieve the high voltage as well as a highly configurable
interface to interact with the user and 3rd party devices.
The PowerBox has a wide range of measurement, control and security features, is the power house of
the generator set. It will provide all required power to the CP generator’s PowerModule and
communicate with it via a high speed serial interface. This PowerModule will convert a 380Vdc
provided by the PowerBox into a usable signal to generate the high kV and will be the muscles of the
CP generator. The brains come in the form of a memory which will be unique for each CP generator.
This memory will store vital information such as the CP generator’s serial and model number,
exposure listing, operational parameters and even failure data. Thanks to this memory, it is possible
to change the PowerBox and even the Power Module with any other one without any need for
configuration or calibration. This unique feature will enable easy “in the field” repairs and minimize
transportation cost to the repair center in case of a breakdown since each part can be diagnosed and
changed individually in the field and only the defect part will have to be returned for service.
Furthermore it will be possible to extract all the data that is stored on the CP generator’s memory and
copy it to a USB pen drive. This information can then easily be carried from the field and sent to ICM
for failure analyses.

2.1.1 Operating range

The below graph gives a visual representation of the CP160D/CP200D/CP225D generator’s

operating range. (the selectable mA and kV) The maximum current between 90 and 200kV is limited
by the maximum anode power dissipation of 900 Watt.
When selecting a mA and kV setting outside this operating range, the PowerBox will give a warning
and automatically correct the mA or kV setting to the closest possible value. Pressing the Constant
Power button (‘Pct’ on the PowerBox front panel) will automatically set the mA to the maximum
possible value for the selected kV.

3.1.3 Carousel/Diaphragm

There are 5 positions available on the carousel.

4 Positions are standard: Shutter, Laser pointer, Beryllium window,
and full open with 3mm aluminum filter. The 5th position can fit any
window size desired but is populated with a 480x100 window by
standard if no other size was specified during the order process.
You can switch between positions by simply rotating the carousel
wheel. The CP160D/CP200D/CP225D generator will automatically
detect which carousel position is selected and communicate this
information to the PowerBox.
No exposure will be possible if the carousel is set between two
positions, or if it is set in the pointer position.
No exposure is possible above 50kV if the Beryllium window is set.
A warning will be displayed on the PowerBox if the shutter is not set during the preheating, or if it is
set during a normal exposure.
The laser pointer can be switched on and off by pressing the red power button for more than one
second. It will switch off automatically after 20 seconds. The laser pointer is powered by a 3 Volt coin
battery which can be replaced at the back of the laser pointer module. Please refer to the
Maintenance chapter on further information on how to change the coin battery.

Carousel position Function

Shutter
The shutter is a lead cover which closes the X-xray output. Use
this position to reduce the radiation produced during
preheating.

Full open
A 3mm aluminium filter is applied for the full 60°x40° opening
of the X-ray output.

Custom diaphragm
By standard, a 480x100@700mm film shape is provided. This
will reduce the shape of the X-ray beam to match the used film
and consequently reduce the leakage radiation.
Custom shapes with different sizes can be ordered from ICM to
match your application.

Beryllium window
A full open position without aluminium filter for use at low kV
settings. Exposure above 50 kV are not allowed in this position.
A warming message will be displayed on the PowerBox.

Laser pointer
A red laser light will be emitted from the centre of the laser
pointer when the red button is pressed for more than 1 second.
The laser will automatically shut down after 20 seconds or
when the red button is pressed again.

The laser pointer can be used to align the generator to target

the area under inspection.

3.1.4 Interconnection socket

The interconnection cable connects the PowerBox with the CP160D/CP200D/CP225D generator.
The socket of the interconnection cable on the generator side can easily be switched between an axial
or radial connection position. Please refer to the maintenance chapter for the procedure to change the
connector position.

3.1.5 Cooling fan

The main cooling fan is a very high power fan providing the required cooling to the
CP160D/CP200D/CP225D generator’s anode. Due to the high speed and high air displacement
volume when the fan is working at maximum speed, a siren-like sound will be generated. When
working in open air conditions, this can be desirable as it provides for an audible warning when X-rays
are emitted. When working in a bunker or closed environment, this sound can become disturbing.
Therefore, the speed of the fan can be controlled by the PowerBox and 3 setting are made available to
the user:

- M axim um cooling
The fan will always run at full speed whenever X-rays are generated. The fan will make a
continuous sound and maximum cooling performance is guaranteed.
- M edium
The fan will always run at a medium speed producing a minimal amount of sound. In this
mode, the cooling is however not working at optimal performance and the generator will
interrupt the exposure to cool down when overheating is eminent.
- Silent
The fan will start at a minimal speed, producing almost no sound at all. During an exposure, as
the generator is getting hotter, the fan speed will increase to satisfy the generator’s cooling
requirements. In this mode, you will notice the sound generated by the fan increase to its
maximum in several steps throughout the exposure.

Version 1.5 Page 17/55 www.icmxray.com

CP160D/CP200D/CP225D User Manual

For optimum performance of the cooling system, allow a free

exhaust of air from the main cooling fan and foresee an obstruction-
free area of at least 1 meter from the cooling fan.

If dust has accumulated on the cooling fan or underlying heat-sink,

clean it with compressed air.

3.1.6 Memory and identification

The CP160D/CP200D/CP225D generator is equipped with an electronic memory which can store
exposure and system information of up to 5000 exposures. This memory is kept on the
CP160D/CP200D/CP225D generator itself and also contains the electronic serial number of that
generator. The content of the memory is accessible via the menu of a PowerBox and gives the user
access to the complete exposure history of that CP160D/CP200D/CP225D generator as well as any
error or fault information that may have been stored in it. The contents can be downloaded to a USB
pen drive and sent to ICM for failure analyses. This memory is independent of the PowerBox or
PowerModule that is used so this record can still be accessed even when the PowerBox and
PowerModule the CP160D/CP200D/CP225D generator was working with failed.

The information stored in this memory are, among other: date and time, the exposure parameters,
measurements of kV, mA and external power source and any error states detected by the PoweBox.
This information will be very helpful to ICM’s service centres to in diagnosing any failures and assist in
determining the cause of a defect.

3.2 PowerModule
The PowerModule converts a 380Vdc power supplied by the PowerBox into a signal that will generate
the requested kV and mA in the CP160D/CP200D/CP225D generator. This PowerModule is a
standard component and is identical for all Site-X CP generators. It can easily be replaced and no
further configuration or calibration is required, even on site.
Required in some countries, ICM makes a flashing light on the generator available by standard. The
flashing light is positioned on the PowerModule next to the interconnection socket. The behaviour of
the lamp (when it should flash or when it should be ON) can be programmed from the PowerBox
Menu.

3.3.3 Power connector

Power is supplied through the 3 pin Cannon connector on the left side of
the PowerBox.
Thanks to the use of a Power Factor Controller (PFC), the power factor
of the PowerBox is close to 1. This will allow the PowerBox to be run from almost any petrol or diesel
power generator without suffering from interference from voltage or frequency fluctuations.
The recommended minimum power rating of the power generator is 2kVA.
It is possible to power the CP160D/CP200D/CP225D generator set from a car or truck battery when
an appropriate 12/24Vdc to 230Vac adaptor is used. The current consumption on 24V will be
approximately 60A.

3.3.4 Interconnection cable

The interconnection cable connects the PowerBox to the CP160D/CP200D/CP225D generator,

providing power and communication between them.

3.3.5 Interlock connector

The interlock connector provides an interface to connect up to 5 programmable input contacts, 4

programmable output contacts for use with a 24Vdc provided by the PowerBox and 4 programmable
relays contacts. These interface contacts can be used for safety interlock systems such as door
controls and audio visible warning systems such as sirens and warning lights but can also serve as
inputs for a trigger system when integrating the X-ray into for instance cabinet systems.
The behaviour of each output - when the output should be flashing, On or Off - can be programmed
for each state (stand by, pre-warning, X-ray ON) via the PowerBox menu. Please refer to the
PowerBox’s ‘Configure Interlock’ chapter for more information on how to configure the behaviour of
the outputs.

The maximum total power consumption for the 24V powered lamps is 15W.

Version 1.5 Page 20/55 www.icmxray.com

CP160D/CP200D/CP225D User Manual

The maximum total switched current of the relays is 2A.

3.3.5.1 Wire cut

if a cable is connected to the interlock connection. The external 24Vdc (pin G) is only enabled
when the wire cut is connected to ground.

3.3.5.2 24Vdc
A 24 Vdc is provided by the PowerBox to power external flashing lights and siren.

3.3.5.3 Door 1, 2, 3, Water and Oil

The input contacts Door 1, 2, 3, Water and Oil (pin B to pin F) are fully configurable input signals
which can be used as a door contact or other relative safety interlock inputs as well as a trigger
input to start the exposure. The Water and Oil input are foreseen for future development when
water or oil cooling elements are developed for the Site-X CP range. For now they can be
treated as auxiliary door contacts.

Please refer to the PowerBox’s ‘Configure interlock’ chapter for more information on how to
configure the inputs.

3.3.5.4 Lamp 1 to 4
Lamp 1 to 4 are 4 fully configurable output contacts which can be used in combination with the
24Vdc provided by the PowerBox for warning lamps, sirens or any other 24V output or warning
device providing the max power consumption is respected.

The maximum total power consumption for all 4 ports combined is 15 Watt.

The respective port is internally connected to ground when the output is activated. Each port
also has a consumption current detection to detect lamp failure. The alarm for this is
configurable per port.

Please refer to the PowerBox’s ‘Configure interlock’ chapter for more information on how to
configure the outputs.

3.3.5.5 Com, Relay 1 to 4

Relays 1 to 4 provide 4 programmable output ports with a maximum switching voltage rating of
240Vac or 30Vdc. Each relay is protected internally by a 2 Amp resettable fuse. Also the
common line is protected by a 2A resettable fuse. The total current consumption for all ports
together can thus not exceed 2A.

Please refer to the PowerBox’s ‘Configure interlock’ chapter for more information on how to
configure the relays.

4. OPERATION
CP160D/CP200D/CP225D User Manual

4.1 Before switching on

4.1.1 Power supply

The CP200 generator can be powered through the PowerBox from either the main grid, from a power
generator set or even from a car or truck battery with a DC to AC power inverter. Its electronic power
circuits enable it to adapt, without danger, to most fluctuations and sudden variations that may occur
on some networks.
Thanks to the very good power factor, the input current is limited to 5.7A @230VAC or 11.4A @115VAC.
This makes it possible to use the PowerBox with long power extension cables or small size power
generators.
The PowerBox is equipped with a very accurate measurement of the power supply’s voltage and
frequency. It constantly monitors and analyzes the input power’s square root voltage, peak voltage
and frequency. If the input power goes out of the specified operating range, the PowerBox will
automatically stop any ongoing exposure to prevent damage to the equipment due to out of bounds
input power.

4.1.2 Power Generators

The PowerBox can be powered from electric power generator sets of nominal power equal to or
greater than 2 kVA to offer the full performances of the tube head.
The excellent power factor (voltage and current are in phase) guarantees smooth operation, without
any particular problems, with most existing models. The electrical power sets can be of "petrol" type
with electronic regulation or "diesel" with flywheel.
Voltage and frequency fluctuations should be less than 5%.

4.1.3 Protective earth connection

The CP160D/CP200D/CP225D X-ray generator produces ultra-high voltage internally. In order for
the electrical safety shut-off devices to operate optimally in the event of failure or an accident, it is
essential that the CP160D/CP200D/CP225D generator or Powerbox are effectively connected to an
earth of low impedance (< 10 Ohm).
This protective earth connection can be provided by the network (single-phase + earth) via the power
supply cable which comes with the equipment. You must however always check that the earth is
actually connected to ground in the supply circuit and that it does not exceed 10 Ohm.
If there is any doubt or in the case a generator set is used, it is strongly recommended that the visible
earth terminal of the PowerBox or CP160D/CP200D/CP225D generator, provided for this purpose,
is connected locally to earth (for example by using an earth rod), the value of which you should
carefully check before use.
This is both for the safety of the equipment as well as for the safety of the operator!

4.1.4 Various general precautions to be observed

Observing certain simple rules will ensure that operations are performed under optimal safety
conditions, both for the operator and the equipment. Some of these rules will ensure that you obtain
images of the highest quality. We advise you most strongly to adopt the following recommendations:
1. Only authorized personnel shall use the CP160D/CP200D/CP225D generator set.
2. Take care that the CP160D/CP200D/CP225D generator is never used with a supply voltage
exceeding 264VAC.
3. Make sure that you ALWAYS work with the equipment well earthen. Check this if in doubt.
4. Avoid exposing the CP160D/CP200D/CP225D or PowerBox to direct bright sunlight for
extended periods.
5. Whenever possible, avoid switching off the power immediately after a long exposure. Allow
the fan to cool the anode down during 1 minute before to switch the off the PowerBox.
6. Check that neither the air inlet nor outlet of the tube head becomes blocked.
7. Do not attempt to modify, disconnect or bridge the safety shut-off devices. Your warranty will
be void.
8. Use the custom diaphragm adapted to the sizes of your films as much as possible to reduce
the scattered radiation level.
9. Use the lead shutter during preheating (warm-up). The leakage dose will be become less than
2 mSv/h at one meter from the focal spot. This level is however still harmful for your health,
step away from the tube head during preheating and shots and monitor your personal dose
rate meter/survey meter.
10. Make sure the circular cannon jack are locked in position. (A ‘click’ can be heard or felt when
the connector goes in the locked position and the red dots on both sides of the connector will
be aligned)
11. Keep the cooling fans and heat sinks clean. Remove accumulated dust with compressed air
when required.

4.2.1 Connections

When connecting the cables to the PowerBox and CP160D/CP200D/CP225D generator, make sure
to close the connector until a ‘click’ can be felt. This will ensure a good connection and will prevent
the cables from getting disconnected while the equipment is in use.
When properly locked, a small silvery dot is visible in the connector.

CP160D/CP200D/CP225D User Manual

4.2.2 Power On

After all connections are made and all safety points have been checked, turn ON the PowerBox by
turning ON the main switch (11).
The PowerBox will now start up and either one of these messages will be shown on the main display:
1) Ready to start
This message is displayed when the PowerBox is successfully initialized and a
CP160D/CP200D/CP225D generator is detected and identified. You may now enter the
desired kV, mA, Exposure Time (T) and start the exposure by pressing the START button (10).
Please refer to the ‘Setting kV, mA and Exposure time’ chapter for more information on
entering these values.
Make sure the carousel is in the desired position and press the START button (10) to start the
exposure.
2) Key off
The Safety Key (12) is not present or not in ‘XI’ position. This Safety key is a supervisor key and
will enable the supervisor to lockout any user interaction or accidental starting of the X-ray
while the equipment is unattended.
Insert the Safety key (12) if it is not present and turn it to the "XI" position.
3) Preheat required for kVm ax.
When the CP160D/CP200D/CP225D generator has not been used for more than 8 hours, a
preheating is required to operate at maximum kV. The message further asks the operator if he
would the maximum kV to be programmed for the preheating. Pressing the ENTER button will
automatically program the maximum kV and mA and the required preheating time will be
shown. When pressing cancel, the last used exposure values will be loaded. Depending on the
set kV value, a shorter preheating may be required or not at all. The required preheating time
is indicated. Please refer to the ‘Preheating’ chapter for more information about the
preheating process.
Make sure the carousel is in the shutter position and press the START button (10) to start the
preheating.
4) Door Open
When a door safety contact is active and the respective door contact is open, this message will
be displayed.
When working with a shielded room or containment, make sure the door is closed and there is
no cabling defect. Press the START button (10) to start the exposure.
If you are not working in a shielded room or using a door contact, verify the door control
settings through the secondary display (2) > Settings > Door control
5) No Generator
After initialization, the Powerbox attempts to detect and identify the connected
CP160D/CP200D/CP225D generator. If this is not successful or when no generator is
connected, the PowerBox will display that no generator is detected. Make sure the
interconnection cable is connected and the connectors are in the ‘click-lock’ position on both
the PowerBox and CP160D/CP200D/CP225D generator.
6) Ready to start … MODE DEM O NO GEN
When ‘Demo mode’ is activated, the Powerbox will simulate normal operation without actually
generating any X-ray. The messages ‘Ready to start’ and ‘MODE DEMO NO GEN’ will be
displayed alternatively.

Version 1.5 Page 27/55 www.icmxray.com

CP160D/CP200D/CP225D User Manual

Note:
The START button has to be pressed between 0.3 and 3 seconds to be activated. This is done so to
prevent accidental activation by an object falling on the START button.
The STOP button will always respond immediately without any limitation of the duration of pressing
the red STOP button.

4.2.3 Preheating / Warm-up

The preheating, also called warm-up, is a procedure which is required to progressively re-establish
the maximum vacuum level inside the X-ray insert when it has not been used for more than 8 hours.
During this preheating procedure, the high voltage and insert current is gradually applied to the insert
and built up to the maximum power output or the selected power output.(kV and mA) This procedure
is fully automatic and the required preheating time is calculated by the PowerBox based on the kV
settings during the last exposure, the idle time of the CP160D/CP200D/CP225D generator since
that last exposure and the set kV. The data which is required for the calculation of the preheating time
is taken from the CP160D/CP200D/CP225D’s internal memory. This way, your
CP160D/CP200D/CP225D will be correctly pre-heated in the minimum amount of time as possible,
even when the CP160D/CP200D/CP225D generator was previously used with another PowerBox.
It is not possible for the user to avoid the preheating procedure since bypassing it would lead to
serious defects and malfunction of the equipment.
The preheating time is mainly based on the kV setting and idle time of the
CP160D/CP200D/CP225D generator. The calculation follows these general rule of thumb:
- no preheating is required for 8 hours or less idle time
- 5 minutes preheating is required after 8 hours
- for each additional day of idle time, 1 additional minute of preheating time is required
- the maximum duration of the preheating is limited to 60 minutes
- The required preheating time will be less if the programmed kV is lowered.
- No preheating is required for kV settings up to and including 60kV.
To start the pre heating, make sure the carrousel is in the preheating / lead cap position and press the
START button.
Note:
Please refer to the chapter Maintenance and storage for the proper procedure when the generator has
been stored unused for more than 6 months.

4.2.4 Setting kV, mA and exposure time

When the “Ready to start” message is displayed on the main display, you can enter the desired kV,
mA and exposure time values.
To enter the kV:

Version 1.5 Page 28/55 www.icmxray.com

CP160D/CP200D/CP225D User Manual

- Press the ‘kV’ button on the front panel

- Enter the desired kV value using the numeric keys in a 3 digit (xxx) format
including leading zeros for kV settings lower than 100 kV.
To enter the m A:
- Press the ‘mA’ button on the front panel
- Enter the desired mA value using the numeric keys in a 3 digit (xx.x) format.
including a leading zero for currents lower than 10mA
To enter the exposure time T
- Press the ‘T’ button on the front panel
- Enter the desired exposure time using the numeric keys in a 4 digit (xxmxx) format
including leading zeros for exposure times of less than 10m00.
When the parameters have been keyed in, press the Start button (10) to start the exposure.
Should you interrupt the exposure for any reason, just press the Stop button (9).
Note:
The START button has to be pressed between 0.3 and 3 seconds to be activated. This is done so to
prevent accidental activation by an object falling on the START button.
The STOP button will always respond immediately, no matter how short or how long the button is
pressed.

4.2.5 Using the Constant Power function (Pct)

The Constant Power function will automatically set the mA to the maximum value possible according
to the maximum operating range and will adjust the required exposure time accordingly.
For example:
The parameters that are set are; 120 kV, 3mA, 5 minutes exposure time. When pressing the Pct (6)
button, the PowerBox will automatically increase the current to its maximum for that selected kV
(ie:7.5mA ) and adjust the exposure time to obtain the same result in exposure. The exposure time is
thus decreased to 2 minutes.

4.2.6 Emergency Stop

The emitting of X-rays during preheating or while making an exposure, can always be stopped
immediately by pressing the STOP button (9) or by turning OFF the Safety key (12).
It is however not recommended to switch OFF the power with the power switch (11).
When the STOP button is pressed or the Safety key is switched off, the remaining preheating or
exposure time is kept. When the danger situation is cleared and X-ray can be emitted again, the
remaining preheating or exposure time can be finished by pressing the START button again.

generator which is described in the next chapter since the generator will Export    
only record an entry if the exposure has started. The PowerBox will add
a record as soon as the START button is pressed. Exposures that have been stopped in the prewarning
time will thus be recorded by the PowerBox but not by the generator.
The PowerBox can be used in conjunction with different generators so records of exposures with
generator with a different serial number may be listed in the PowerBox but will not be found in the
listing of the generator.
The ‘Export’ will export the PowerBox’s listing to USB when a USB pen drive is plugged in. This way
the entire exposure listing can be extracted from the PowerBox for archiving or failure analyses
purposes.

6.1 Error and warning messages

The CP160D/CP200D/CP225D generator in combination with the PowerBox is an intelligent system
which offers a high level of safety and operation comfort. The high amount of feedback from the
equipment is new in the industry and may lead to confusion or the impression that the equipment is
defect. I most of the cases however, you will find that the equipment is not defect but it halted due to
out of bound environmental variables or a mistake of the operator. The following chapter will explain
in more detail some of the message you may encounter.
Messages displayed on the PowerBox can be divided in 2 main groups: warning messages and error
messages.
Warning m essages are there to inform the user of a potentially dangerous situation or incorrect use
of the equipment. These messages are warnings only. It will be possible to use the equipment after
acknowledging the warning message.
Error m essages indicate a failure situation that prevents the equipment from operating. This failure
situation must be resolved before a next shot can be made.

6.2 Most common warning messages

6.2.1 E56: Gas leak

The CP160D/CP200D/CP225D constantly makes sure the pressure is high enough according to SF6
temperature. If it is too low a warning message will be displayed indicating that the gas pressure is
getting low. Please schedule maintenance for the CP160D/CP200D/CP225D generator to identify
any gas leaks and refill the generator with SF6.

6.2.2 E162: Car. Desactiv.

The carousel position detection has been disabled in the software. This may be wanted in case there is
a defect in the carousel position detection system but the PowerBox will remind you that the
detection system was deactivated every time the PowerBox is powered ON.
Please schedule maintenance of the CP160D/CP200D/CP225D generator as soon as possible to
repair the carousel position detection system for your own safety and comfort.

6.2.3 E163: Car. shutter

When attempting to make an exposure with the carousel in shutter position a warning message
‘Carousel shutter’ will be displayed on the main display.
Shooting with the carousel in shutter position will not damage the equipment but X-ray emission is
blocked by the shutter. The film will thus not get exposure.

6.2.4 E164: Car. preheat

When attempting to make a preheating while the carousel is not in shutter position a warning
message ‘Carousel preheat’ will be displayed on the main display.

Version 1.5 Page 45/55 www.icmxray.com

CP160D/CP200D/CP225D User Manual

It is highly recommended to put the carousel in the shutter position while preheating, in order to avoid
exposing operators to high levels of radiations.

6.3 Most common error messages

6.3.1 E7: press min

The gas pressure of the SF6 gas must be between 5.0 and 7.5 bar. Typically it should be around 6.0
bar at 25°C, but varies a lot with temperature. For instance, it will rise to 7 bar at 70°C, and drop to 5.3
bar at 0°C. If the gas pressure is too low due to very low SF6 temperature, please try to increase the
SF6 temperature by using heating blankets, or putting the generator for some time in a heated
vehicle or room. Once the gas pressure is high enough to start an exposure, the
CP160D/CP200D/CP225D will keep itself warm enough as long as you use it regularly.

6.3.2 E10: T° inv max
