1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the necessary procedures for the covers removal and the replacement of electronic
boards and other generator parts.
When a connector is detached from its own board, make sure that it is properly identified, otherwise, put a
temporary label with the description of the board and connector (for example “B2-CM15”).
When a mechanical or electrical component has been replaced, perform the working tests of the equipment as
described in the chapter "Service Manual -->Installation ”.
The equipment satisfies the electrical safety standards and the EMC standards and, in normal conditions, there
is no risk of malfunction caused by electromagnetic interferences. For this reason, when a board is replaced or
you work inside the unit, at the end of the intervention, it is necessary to restore all the electrical safety
devices (ground connections, cables shields, inductances,...) that were removed.
During the normal use or during the service interventions, it can occur that the painted parts damage. In order
to touch up small parts, a paint kit for touch-up is delivered with the unit. It consists of three paint pots and
three brushes.
USE ONLY ORIGINAL PAINTS INCLUDED INTO THE KIT OF PAINTS FOR TOUCH UP.
In case the paint kit for touch-up is available even as spare part (see Parts List).
At the end of every technical intervention, fill in the “SERVICE INTERVENTION” label with date, name,
signature and intervention number/code. You can find it with the unit use documentation.
See chapt. “Service manual--> Service information”.

Warning: Observe precautions for handling.

Electrostatic sensitive devices.
ESD can damage disk drives, cards, memory modules and other parts. We recommend you to do
all procedures in this guide only at an ESD workstation. If one is not available, provide some
ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to any unpainted metal surface when
handling parts. If you don't have one, discharge static electricity from yourself and your clothing
by touching a nearby metal surface before handling any internal components.

8. With a male hexagonal wrench 3mm, remove the six

screws TCEI M4x16 (A) + plain washer and grower that
fix the I.I. bottom.

9. Extract carefully the I.I. from the front part.

10. Install the new I.I. tube by performing the
operations described above in reverse.

The intensifier tube is realized in metal, glass and ceramic. The insulating parts or transparent to
the radiation, in glass or ceramic, have a mechanical strength lower than the metallic parts. Due
to mechanical induced or spontaneous shocks, these parts can implode by projecting dangerous
remains.

During the replacement phase, the tube must be put temporarily with the input side on a surface
that is soft and without particular abrasive substances.

Perform some control exposures with different kV, mAs and focus parameters in order to ensure
the correct equipment working.
For the parameters selection and the equipment use, refer to the SERVICE MANUAL.
Take the proper precautions against radiation.
