 2. Errors and trials
2-1. ROTOR error
; This ROTOR error comes when generator can’t rotate Tube anode.
ROTOR error usually appears at the time of READY (PREP)

a. Check if you hear rotating sound in Tube when you make READY
b. If you meet this error right after the installation, the rotor signal cables are wrong in Tube side – check the
cable connection again between Generator and Handle Bar PCB, mostly the connector on HandleBar PCB is
loosen.
Following 3 signals are for Tube rotor. (Mio board  GC board  Tube stand)
 Stator Main (SM1) – M
 Stator Shift (SS1) – S
 Stator COM (SM1) – C

2-2. CHA error

The required electricity for HV T & Tube is coming from Main Capacitors and CND board is making Charge &
Discharge to this capacitors.

When system generator is turned on, generator charges main capacitors through CND board and when it is charged
around 70~80%, it turns to direct charge from main input power (220VAC) till the main capacitors become 100% full
charge.

Generator Turn ON (power ON)  CND ON and make main capacitor charge through P805 (310VDC) – C volt.  at
70% charge point, Line voltage (220V) makes rest of charge to main capacitors.

When X-ray exposure is being made, electricity flow is as follow…

Input Power  SMC  3 phase diode  Main Capacitors  IGBT  HVT  X-ray Tube
 CND board triggers SMC to work for main capacitor charge.
When err CHA comes, followings are to be causes.
1. CND board badness.
2. Loss of 5V, 12V from Mio board
3. CND board frequency missing or not correct (75kHz)
4. SMC is dead
5. 3 phase diode is dead

capacitors)

Measure TP802 – TP803 when

SW801 (L volt) button is pressed.
; VR801 can adjust L volt frequency.

Measure TP802 – TP803 when

SW802 (C volt) button is pressed.
; VR802 can adjust C volt frequency.

VR801 & VR802 are very sensitive,

so please mark the original position
on each VR.

2-3. FILA error
FND board (Filament & Driver board) is controlling Tube filament operation at each Small and Large, offering required
mA value at the time of READY.
Also it drives IGBTs to fire high voltage into HVT.

When you meet this FILA error,

it is required to see the Tube
filament itself by your own
eyes…
Remove the collimator and see
Tube window where you can
see inside of Tube. Make
READY and see if filament is
getting very bright or not. If you
see the filaments get bright at
RDY, at least the Tube itself is
O.K (like left photo)

Must check both of Small &

Large focus.
100mA or less : Small focus
Over 100mA (from 150mA) :
Large focus

If you are not able to see the Filaments light, must check followings.
- S-L-C resistor value from HT cable tips. Remove Cathode from HVT (the other end is connected to Tube
cathode), and measure resistor value S-L, S-C, L-C. each value should not over 2 value.
If the resistor value is high, this means Filament is opened or HT cable is not good.

10
If S-L, S-C, L-C values are O.K (less than 2) this means Filaments are well-connected.
Then check FND board.

Protection errors (PRO series)
; this Protection error series are usually caused by poor electricity. (Poor input power to Generator)
When the generator has been exposed by poor electricity, generator would receive continuous damage for a long time, and finally go defective at FND, IGBT and HVT.
So it is very important to make sure that local RAD room electricity is well-organized with enough power. (both stable voltage and enough Ampere)
Electricity is one of the key environmental factors for X-ray generators.

2-4 PRO_I
; The over current (Ampere) on IGBT.
- IGBTs are defective.
- FND board is defective ; make check points of error FILA first.
How to check IGBT…. (plug off from FND board and measure it at open connectors – direct check to IGBT)

Measure the resistor value at each connector (1-2, 3-4 pins)

Each value must be 1k, if any point gives lower value, it would be
short-circuited inside and defective.

If one IGBT is found dead, the other one might be also damaged.

Find TP500/TP501 and measure the voltage – normal is 18VDC

Make X-ray exposure and see if error comes up.

- 60kV, 100mA, 100msec

- 80kV, 100mA, 100msec
- 100kV, 100mA, 100msec

- 60kV, 200mA, 100msec

- 80kV, 200mA, 100msec

2-8. Error 232
; this error appears when communication between Mio board and OP console is troubled.
- Mio board is damaged (especially at DSP module)
- OP console control PCB is damaged.
- Communication cable is not good.

2-9. No Power
; When you are not able to turn on the generator at all.

1. Check if the circuit breaker is ON.

2. See if you find Standby LED is ON at OP console – it is orange color.
If no Standby LED  Check main fuses and input power condition.
There is orange LED on OP console but no response when press power ON button  check Mio board LED
condition (5V, +12V, -12V)

2-10. Shoot X-ray but no radiation

; there are various reasons with this symptom.
1. Make sure when Tube rotor is moving (rotating) at READY.
2. Test different kV, mA level and check if any of test gives error message.
