(9)

WARNING [ hz_serdoc_F13G01U13M02 ]

High voltages and/or mechanical movements (e.g. gantry rotation) may lead to accidents and injuries when opening system covers.

Risk of accident or injury!

¹ Only authorized service personnel are allowed to open system covers.

Non-compliance with X-ray regulations may lead to radiation exposure to you and/or other persons.

Risk of radiation exposure!

Observe radiation protection regulations when X-rays are switched on, e.g. :

¹ Never work inside the gantry room. ¹ Do not leave the system unattended.

¹ Make sure there isn't anyone inside the gantry room. ¹ Ensure that personnel cannot enter the gantry room

unnoticed (e.g. lock doors, if necessary).

Dangerous voltages are present when the system is switched on. Dangerous voltages may be present even when the sys-tem is switched off due to capacity power.

Risk of electric shock!

¹ Observe power-off instructions and discharge wait times (allow at least five minutes discharge time after the last scan for all involved HV and UDC/UPS parts). ¹ Secure the system against unintended switch-on (e.g.

block breaker and/or mark breaker against switch-on). ¹ Ensure via measurements that all voltages are

switched off.

¹ Connect the stationary and rotating parts of the gantry to a protective conductor prior to working in the gantry.

Rotating parts are exposed when gantry covers are opened. Risk of injury!

¹ Maintain a safe distance and ensure that objects do not come in contact with rotating parts.

(10)

Unfixed parts/cables during gantry rotation. Risk of accident or injury!

¹ Make sure that all parts and cables are mounted prop-erly before starting rotation.

Temperature of tube and/or tube cooling device parts may be above 70°C (with Straton up to 130°C).

Risk of burns!

¹ Avoid contact with oil and exposed parts of X-ray tube and cooling device.

¹ Wait until tube and cooling device parts are chilled down.

TSG Troubleshooting Guide

(23)

Overview

2.1 The XRS section contains information on possible XRS tests and the corresponding Trou-bleshooting Guides. With the SOMATOM Definition Flash, trouTrou-bleshooting always starts by calling up the eventlog and searching for the relevant error message. Follow the instruc-tions given in this error message for troubleshooting. In some cases, the error message links you to Troubleshooting Guides as described in this document. This link is normally used if the Troubleshooting Guide is too complex or images are needed for troubleshooting. Additionally, read the information stored in the tube history (Local Service >Report). This information can always be useful in case of XRS problems.

Problem isolation

0

Principle problem isolation in case of XRS problems 1. Find the according error message in Eventlog

NOTE The XGR and XGS assemblies are continuously communicat-ing uscommunicat-ing the CAN bus after the system is switched on. For this reason, 2 error messages are usually sent to the log-book after XRS problems. Always check both (XGS/XGR) error messages when troubleshooting.

2. Follow the instructions given in the extended error message for troubleshooting

¹ The information provided in the error message guides you in finding the problem. In some cases, you are linked to the Test and Troubleshooting instructions, # C2-030.840.01.... In this case, follow the relevant Troubleshooting Guides described in this document.

Generator oscillator procedure (GenOSC)

0

Generator oscillator adaptation (Gen-Osc) is an automatic program. The function of the program is to adapt the inverter frequencies. The program performs very short scans with different inverter frequencies to find the minimum resonance point. This value is stored to D700 in XGS.

The frequency adaptation procedure must run successfully; otherwise, XRS errors such as UT too high or UT max errors (e.g XRS_83 error) may abort scanning. The same errors may appear if parts of the oscillating circuit (e.g MV cable, XGS_PDC_Control, HVT / MVT) have been replaced without performing GenOSC after the replacement. For this reason, always use the relevant guided tour after the replacement of parts.

NOTE If GenOsc fails because of arcing, try using dummy plugs (i.e. test plugs for HVT) and perform GenOsc again with dummy plugs installed.

(24)

XDC/Tube

2.2

XDC/Tube Test

0

INIT Tests:

During INIT, all XRT drivers of the XDC (outputs on X13 and X14) are tested in 2 steps. The first step is an isolation check for detecting short circuits between the output wires and ground or power (230 V). This step can detect defective driver gates within the XDC as well. The second step activates the drivers and can detect short circuits between the output wires or broken wires. The INIT tests have failed if any warning or error message occurs in the Eventlog during step 1 or 2, or if the requested currents in step 2 cannot be reached. XDC/Tube Self-Test within Service SW:

The XDC/tube self-test is basically the same as the INIT test except that the grid function is tested as well. Depending on the actual system state, the XDC/tube self-test tolerates some problems. Therefore, if the XDC/tube self-test fails, switch the gantry off and then on again to initialize an INIT test.

Test results:

When the test fails, it leads to the warning message " CT_DCA/B 31" where the parameters give information on which part of the test fails. In addition to this information, there can be additional errors or warnings which indicate the error. Follow the instructions in the warn-ing/error message for troubleshooting

Usage of the tests:

The XDC/Tube self-test can help detect problems in the output drivers of the XDC, prob-lems within cabling, or probprob-lems within the tube. The test can be helpful, when the XDC has aborted scans with the error message "CT_DCA/B 51 .." or "CT_DCA/B 50" espe-cially when parameter 3 is 0 x 00, 0 x 01, 0 x 04, 0 x 05, 0 x 08, 0 x 09, 0 x 12, 0 x 17, 0 x 1D, 0 x 1E or 0 x 1F. Be aware that any of these errors can happen during arcing as well, without any real HW problem within the XDC or the tube. If the INIT tests fail, you have a problem in the XDC, cabling, or the tube. If any additional error or warning message occurs in the Eventlog during INIT, it can be used to help detect where the problem is located. You can disconnect the cable on the XDC (X13 and X14) and/or the tube (X8 and X4) and then repeat the INIT test. When the additional errors/warnings disappear, you have discon-nected the faulty part from the XDC.

Remark: Test can be used when the system is or is not in stand-by status.

High voltage

2.3

HV troubleshoot test

0

This test tool supports the troubleshooting in case of high voltage issues. The HV trouble-shoot test analyzes the last 1000 scans and requires at least 200 scans. Thus, for a useful result it is a prerequisite that the system has been in normal operation for about one week prior to using this tool. Consequently, the test tool is not suited to verify the success of recent service work. For example: If Getter was performed before the tool is used, this fal-sifies the result.

The test evaluates the circumstances which might have caused scan aborts due to arcings in the tube history. Based on the test results, certain worksteps/checks are listed in a flow-chart which follows the TSG high voltage part.

NOTE The HV troubleshooting test analyzes only arcings which caused scan aborts. A continuous decline of the tube power cannot be identified by this tool.

Please note the following conditions and limitations for successful use of the HV troubleshooting test:

•

The HV troubleshooting test can only be used when the scan aborts caused by arcings have occurred; otherwise misleading results may be produced.

•

The HV troubleshooting test analyzes the last 1000 scans. e.g. if you have tightened the oil couplings after a first run of the tool and you run the tool again, the tool will present the same result as before.

•

If less than 200 scans have been performed with a tube, the tool does not perform eval-uation.

•

For meaningful results, the system must have been in normal operation for about one week prior to using the tool! Therefore, the tool is not suitable for verifying the success of recent service work.

TSG high voltage

0

The following high voltage TSG is used in case of high voltage problems. The TSG provides a guide line to troubleshoot HV problems.

(26)

Tab. 2 High voltage TSG

Step Action

1

•

Check the Eventlog for:

UT max and /or UT too high errors (e.g CT_GSA/GRA_83) or arcing problems (CT_GSA/GRA_68)

•

If above-mentioned error appears > continue with item 2

•

In all other cases > check Eventlog for other error message instructions. 2

•

Perform the tube history evaluation (Local Service > Test tools >

Tube/Generator > HV troubleshoot A or B). One of the following mes-sages (1-7) is displayed after tube history evaluation. Follow the instructions given in the text and see flowchart (Fig. 12 / p. 29) as a guide:

1. Tube history does not contain enough scans for evaluation > no evalu-ation possible > continue with item 3.

2. Tube history evaluation does not indicate a tube arcing problem lead-ing to scan aborts > no XRT/XTC Problem > check Eventlog for other error messages and follow instructions given in the message.

3. Tube history evaluation does not show a considerable number of tube arcs > no evaluation possible > continue with item 3.

4. Tube history evaluation shows tube arcs caused by low oil-pressure > Assure properly closed cooling hose couplings at tube and cooling unit. .

¹ If the couplings were properly closed, replace both the tube and tube cooling unit.

5. Tube history evaluation shows tube arcs caused by low oil-pressure or even loss of oil

Check the gantry for oil contamination. If found, clean it, replace both the tube and tube cooling unit and inform HSC CT.

¹ If no oil found, assure properly closed cooling hose couplings at tube and cooling unit

¹ If the couplings were properly closed, replace both the tube and tube cooling unit.

6. Tube history evaluation shows mainly one side tube arcs without cool-ing oil-pressure correlation

Check HV plugs for burn marks (examples see (HV plugs with arcing tracks / p. 30)

¹ If burn marks are visible, clean the HV plugs and receptacles (inside) with alcohol. If the problem persists, replace the tube or HV cable con-nection to HV tank.

¹ If no burn marks are visible, perform HVC plug tests as shown in the flowchart (Fig. 12 / p. 29) .

HVC tube test

For high tension arcing or HV breakdown, the test utility HVC tube test is available in the “Tube/Generator” test tools platform. The HVC tube test lets you apply high tension to the HV circuit without tube current. No test plugs are used in this test. No radiation is released during the test procedures. This test is performed before an HVC plug test is started because if this test does not indicate an error, the HVC plug test does not indicate an error either.

Prerequisites

Test needs system in the stand-by status.

Performing the HVC tube test

1. Select Local Service > Test Tools > Tube/Generator 2. Select HVC tube.

3. Select voltage and repetitions. Follow the instructions in the dialog. 4. Click the hardware Start button at the control box.

The test runs for 80 s. The test is terminated automatically.

If the test fails, perform the HVC plug test described next to select which XRS part is defective.

HVC with plug test

For high tension arcing or HV breakdown, the primary test utility HVC plug test is available in the “Tube/Generator” test tools platform. The HVC plug test lets you apply high tension to the HV circuit without tube current and without a connected X-ray tube. This allows the HV circuit to be systematically reduced using test plugs to isolate a high tension error to either the Straton MX P tube, HV cable, or HV tank. No radiation is released during this test procedure.

Prerequisites

•

HV tank dummy plugs (normal type) > material number 16 21 791

•

HV sockets dummy plugs (mini type) > material number 10 093 700

NOTE The HVC plug test is only allowed with test plugs installed. Tests with the installed tube can result in misdiagnosis of errors. For a connected tube, use the HCV tube test.

Performing the HVC plug test

1. Follow the work steps followed to install the relevant test plugs in the HVT. a) Switch system to the COMP/ON status at the control box.

(34)

b) Press service hardware switch S1 in PDC.

c) Remove the lower and open the upper front ring segment. Refer to (Open/close the upper front ring segment / p. 16)

d) Remove the plastic ring and the funnel.

e) Move the HV tank or the HV sockets to the 6 o‘clock position by hand. f) Disable gantry rotation with switch S301.

g) Remove the HV plugs from the HV tank or the HV sockets and install the correct test plugs.

¹ HVT receptacles: When installing the test or HV plugs, new silicon disks must be used.

h) Switch system on (S301 remains switched off).

¹ S301 has to be switched off because during Init the Rot FW searches for an index pulse. This behavior may result in a 360 degree rotation of the gan-try. In this case the removed HV cables may damage parts in the gangan-try. 2. Select Local Service > Test Tools > Tube/Generator.

3. Select HVC with plugs.

4. Click “Go” on the virtual user panel. Follow the instructions in the dialog. Important work steps are listed below:

5. Click the hardware Start button at the control box.

The test runs for 80 s. The test is terminated automatically. > If the test fails, follow the HV Troubleshooting Guides.

NOTE New silicon disks in the HVT must be used for the HV cable and test plugs before the plugs are installed into the compo-nents ( HVT).

6. Reinstall all parts removed/opened previously according the original configuration. ¹ Install the HV plugs at the HV sockets using new insulators. Tighten the HV plugs

with a torque of 25 Nm.

¹ Install the HV plugs at the HV tank using 2 new silicon disks. Hand tighten the HV plugs at the HV tank.

Filament (FIL)

2.4

TSG filament

0

The filament function is tested during “INIT” (e.g COMP/ON > SYS/ON). After switching the gantry off/on, a self test of the D770 (FIL power) in XGR is performed as step 1. In step 2, a filament current is sent to the filament heating in XRT (X-ray tube), passing the filament transformer at XRT. If the self test fails, the error message CT_GSA/GRA_111 (XGR FIL Self test Error) is sent to the Eventlog.

Additionally a test utility “FIL” is available in the “Tube/Generator” test tools platform. During the “INIT” filament test, the involved D 700/D 770 board components in the XGR and the filament current to the XRT are tested (only in/out test). With the “FIL” test, the involved filament components and the filament regulation function are tested. So the “FIL” test is a more detailed test possibility.

Remark: Test can be used when the system is or is not in stand-by status.

Tab. 3 Filament test

Anode rotation (RAC)

2.5

TSG Anode Rotation (RAC)

0

Use this test function to verify the RAC function. There are different anode speed (Hz) selections possible. In the Troubleshooting Guide below, 160 Hz is selected, because this value is very stressful for the RAC function (Note: Do not use this selection in quick suc-cession to avoid overload).

Use the RAC extended test function to check the rotating anode revolution with respect to the time (acceleration). The following statements are possible:

•

No revolution > e.g rotating anode bearing defective, bad cable/plug connection, XGR...

•

Revolution in the medium revolution range is too low > e.g rotating anode motor defec-tive, XGR....

•

Upper revolution range not reachable > e.g rotating anode bearing defective, XGR... Note: The system should be in stand-by status for this test.

NOTE Anode rotation on a Staton MXP tube may not be started without a functioning and connected cooling circuit (e.g. for troubleshooting).

MVT cable check

2.7 The MV cable check is used to test the correct connection of the MV cables. The MV cables are routed from PDC_A/B > slip ring > HVT_A/B. A wrong connection of MV cable_A and MV cable_B destroys some XRS parts. Especially after system installation, moving the sys-tem or changing slip ring parts, use this test to check that the connection of the MV cables is correct. If the test is passed the MV cable connection is correct. If the test is failed, it is mandatory to find the reason for the error.

Arcing

2.8 The “Arcing” test is used from the lab to simulate arcings to verify that the FW/SW reaction due to arcings is correct. This test is not service-relevant.

(45)

Check/adjust the tube oil pressure

2.9 The expansion vessel for the following measurement can be ordered from service stock. The part number for the vessel is: 10610161.

•

Allow the system to cool down for at least 10 minutes after the last scan. During the cooling time, the system must be switched on.

¹ Be aware that some system components may be very hot: the Straton tube, XTC, etc. may reach temperatures up to 130 degrees Celsius.

•

Wait until the tube and the cooling system have cooled down, then switch the system to COMP/ON status at the control box.

•

Switch off the gantry power using the S1 service button in PDC A.

•

Remove the gantry lower front ring segment.

•

Turn the gantry by hand until the Straton MX P tube (A or B) is in the 6 o‘clock position.

•

Secure against unintended rotation by using the front safety bolt.

•

Prepare the expansion vessel.

•

Open the quick coupling and disconnect the lower oil hose at the tube. Connect the oil hose from the expansion vessel to the empty quick coupling of the tube.

NOTE The pressure indicator at the expansion vessel shows the actual pressure in the oil circuit after the oil hose from the expansion vessel has been connected.

Fig. 25: Adjusting unit for expansion membrane

•

Install the adjustment handle (item 1) on the expansion vessel. - Press the button (item 2) to lock the thread rod on the membrane. - Hand-tighten the two screws of the adjustment thread rod (item 3).

(46)

•

Check/adjust the oil pressure.

Fig. 26: Adjusting the tube pressure

•

Using the expansion handle (item 1), check the pressure at the pressure indi-cator (item 2) attached to the expansion vessel.

The correct pressure is 1.25 bar (+/- 0.05 bar) + the altitude correction factor taken from the following table.

¹ The goal of the pressure adjustment is to have the correct oil pres-sure for all operating conditions. If the prespres-sure is too low, arcs may occur during scans using the fastest anode rotation (e.g 160 Hz).

•

If the system is located at a higher altitude than sea level > add the following correction factor to the sea level pressure (see following table).

¹ For example, if the altitude is 1000 m -> the correction value is 0.12 bar.

Altitude [m] Difference [bar]

0 0.00 500 0.06 1000 0.12 1500 0.17 2000 0.22 2500 0.27 3000 0.31 3500 0.35 4000 0.39 4500 0.43 5000 0.47

(47)

•

Unlock the safety bolt for gantry rotation.

•

Rotate the gantry by hand and check for unusual noise.

•

Close all covers opened before.

•

Switch on circuit breakers F2, F3, F5, F6, F7, and F11 in the PDC A and F2 in the PDC B.

¹ First switch the F2, F3, F5, F6 circuit breakers to the “0” position and then to the “1” position.

•

Switch the system to the SYSTEM/ON status at the control box.

•

If the pressure is not correct, adjust the membrane position using the adjust-ment handle (item 1).

•

After the pressure adjustment is finished, remove the expansion vessel (remove the oil quick-snap connection to the XRT).

XRS hints

2.10 The following information is a summary of troubleshooting hints obtained through experi-ence.

Tab. 7 XRS hints

Step Action

1 XGS_PDC control assembly controls the complete switching-on process of most system parts. If this part becomes defective, the system components do not switch on. For troubleshooting and to ensure that the system compo-nents are switched on again (in case the control assembly is defective) per-form the follow work steps:

1. Check if all necessary voltages are available on XGS A/B > all green power supply LEDs on D790 must lit.

¹ If not > check/change XGS power supply.

2. Exchange the XGS_PDC control in the PDC in accordance with the

“Replacement of parts PDC” instructions. After replacement, use the guided tour to perform necessary Tune-up steps.

3. After replacement of the XGS_control, make sure that the dongle plug (including the 120-ohm CAN bus resistor) is installed at plug X3.

2 The inverter 1 and inverter 3 cable connections can be exchanged for trouble-shooting (both inverters are identical).

1. Remove inverter plug X23 (inverter 1) and X43 (inverter 3) from the XGS_PDC_Control backplane.

2. Install inverter plug X23 (inverter 1) in the X43 backplane plug and X43 (inverter 3) in X23 backplane plug on the XGS_PDC_Control backplane.

¹ If the error moves with the inverter > inverter is defective.

¹ If the error does not move with the inverter > inverter and inverter cable ok, check for other problems such as the cable connection, ground connection, or check for other error messages returned along with the inverter error message. Follow the instructions given in this message.
