1.0 INTRODUCTION

The XR200 produces high levels of radiation and must be operated by qualified personnel who must read the Warning and Operations section of the manual before operating the device.

The XR200 is a small, lightweight x-ray generator that operates on its own removable battery pack. The XR200 is a pulsed x-ray device that produces x-ray pulses of very short duration (60 nanoseconds). It produces a relatively low dose rate comparable to a 1.0 ma constant potential machine. The energy produced by the XR200 is up to 150KVP, which makes it possible to radiograph up to ½ inch (1.3 cm) of steel.

XR200 standard accessories are two keys, two battery packs, and one battery charger. Remote cable, carrying case, and film developing equipment are also common accessories.

2.0 WARNINGS

2.1 The XR200 is an industrial type x-ray generator that produces hazardous radiation when

energized.

2.2 It is unlawful to use this equipment to intentionally expose humans or to use it for medical

radiography.

2.3 The XR200 is subject to state regulation and registration. Contact your state board of health before operating equipment.

2.4 The operator of the XR200 must be properly trained to safely operate the unit.

2.5 Unauthorized personnel should not have access to the XR200.

2.6 Develop and closely follow a safe operating system for using the XR200.

The safe operating system must ensure that no one is exposed to radiation above the

permissible limits which are 2 mR (0.02 mSv) per hour or 100 mR (1 mSv) per year for a

member of the public. (Refer to Specifications, page 20, for X-ray output and Exclusion

Zone, page 4, for stand off distances.)

The safe operating system must ensure the XR200 is used within federal and state guidelines.

2.7 All operators and users of the XR200 x-ray machine must wear a personal radiation monitoring device, such as a TLD (thermoluminescent dosimeter), film badge, and/or a pocket dosimeter consistent with the appropriate federal, territorial or provincial

standards (note: an electronic dosimeter will not detect the XR200 radiation pulses).

Due to the short pulse width of the XR200, survey meters of the Geiger-Mueller and scintillator type do not accurately detect the radiation emitted from the x-ray source.

Survey meters should be of the ionization type and should be used in the integration

mode. Survey meters must not be used in the rate mode because the XR200 does not produce constant radiation. The XR200 produces very high rates of radiation for very short periods of time resulting in either unrealistically high readings or no readings for a survey meter in rate mode.

2.8 The XR200 has no explosion proof rating and should not be used in an explosive

atmosphere. The Spark Gap is vented to the air and could be a source of ignition.

4.0 DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION

The block diagram on page 9 illustrates how the XR200 functions. The following sequence of events takes place each time the XR200 is fired.

1. User initiates operation of the machine.

2. The control section sends a signal to the converter section to begin oscillating.

3. Once oscillating, the converter section changes the 14.4 volts DC to 22Khz AC.

4. The transformer charges the High Voltage Capacitor to about 8000 volts.

5. The spark gap arcs after the High Voltage Capacitor reaches proper voltage.

6. The pulse detector signals the control block that the unit has pulsed.

7. As the High Voltage Switch is closed, a high voltage transient of about 150,000 volts and

50 nanoseconds in duration is applied across the x-ray tube generating x-rays.

The closing of the High Voltage Switch produces an audible snapping sound. The XR200 cannot produce x-rays without the snapping sound and conversely the snapping sound serves as a warning that the XR200 is functioning. The operator should become familiar with the characteristic sound.

This unit generates x-rays through high voltage bombardment of a tungsten target. The

XR200 does not contain radioactive materials. All the high voltage is contained within the aluminum canister and as long as the canister is not punctured and the collimator is on the head the operator is not exposed to dangerous voltages.

5.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

5.1 OPERATING PRECAUTIONS: The operator should always stand at least 10 feet behind the X-ray unit while it is pulsing and clear all personnel at least 100 ft. from the front of the unit. See the diagram on page 4 for more details regarding exclusion zone and safe

operating distances. Closely follow all procedures in the safe operating system.

5.2 OPERATING PROCEDURES: Operating procedures vary depending on the type of

imaging system used. The XR200 can be used with REMOTE CABLE or TIME DELAY

when used with film based systems or Computed Radiography (Phosphor Plate)

systems. The XR200 should be used in the REAL TIME MODE when used with Direct

Radiography systems (CCD, Amorphous Silicon or Amorphous Selenium plates, CMOS

Detectors).

5.3 REMOTE CABLE OPTION

1. Attach a fully charged battery pack into the back of the XR200.

2. Plug the remote cable into XR200.

3. Place the imaging plate or cassette with film negative directly behind the object to be

X-rayed. Make sure the cassette or imaging plate is close to the object. Distance

between object and cassette will distort the X-ray image.

4. Place the XR200 two to four feet in front of the object with the front of the XR200 pointing

directly at the object.

Figure 4: XR200, Cassette & Object

5. Insert key into key switch located on top of the control module. Turn on the XR200 by

gently turning the key clockwise 1/4 turn.

11

6. In order to select the desired number of pulses for the XR200 first depress the RANGE

SWITCH can then be used to adjust the unit’s digit of the LCD to the desired value.

Step 1 Step 2

7. Press the RANGE SWITCH again and the tens digit of the LCD will blink twice and go blank. The UNITS SWITCH can be used to adjust the tens digit to the desired value.

Step 3 Step 4

¾ Press the RANGE SWITCH again after the 10’s digit has been entered to take the unit out of the pulse setting mode. If the RANGE SWITCH is not pressed a second time the unit will automatically exit the pulse setting mode after six seconds of inactivity. Both the units and tens digit will blink twice to indicate the pulses have been set and unit is out of pulse setting mode.

7. Retreat behind the XR200 the length of the cable.

8. Fire the XR200 by depressing the button on the remote cable.

¾ The XR200 delays 5 seconds before it begins pulsing.

¾ The X-ray Warning Light blinks and the LCD displays the number of seconds that remain before the XR200 starts pulsing.

¾ The XR200 will stop pulsing after it has completed the selected number of pulses.

¾ The operator may stop the pulsing immediately by releasing the button on the remote cable at any time. The LCD will display the number of pulses that remain on the original pulse setting.

9. Check the XR200 to see that original pulse count is on LCD.

10. Turn off key switch.

12

5.4 DELAY MODE OPTION

Follow the same steps as the remote cable option with the following changes.

1. Do not attach remote cable.

2. After the pulses have been selected and the Exclusion Zone has been cleared of all personnel press the TIME DELAY button and retreat at least 10 feet (3m) behind the unit.

The timer starts at 60 seconds. If you hold the delay button down for 1.5 seconds the time delay will change to 15 seconds.

¾ The red warning light starts to blink and the unit makes a beeping sound as soon as the time delay button is pressed.

¾ Time delay sequence can be stopped by pressing the RANGE button, UNITS button, or turning the unit off.

¾ When the time delay counts down to 00 the red light stays on continuously and the

XR200 begins pulsing.

5.5 REAL TIME IMAGING OPTION

This option is for the PC based Direct Radiography (DR) systems that have a control interface between the imaging system and X-ray unit. The interface may be a connector cable from the imager to X-ray unit or it may have a wireless interface.

Follow the same steps as remote cable operation with the following changes.

1. Plug the imager cable into the XR200 rather than the remote cable.

2. Set the pulses to 99.

3. Change the pulse default setting to 99 if it is not already 99. See section 5.6 for

instructions to change the default pulse setting.

4. Place imager behind object to be X-rayed and X-ray unit in front of object to be

X-rayed.

5. Refer to your imaging system operating instructions for specific details on setting

pulses and firing the unit.

6. There is no built in delay when used in this mode. The X-ray will fire immediately

unless there is a time delay in the imaging system.

13

5.6 DEFAULT PULSE SETTING

The default pulse setting displayed on the LCD can be altered by the user through the following steps.

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step4

Step 5

1. Set the count setting to the desired pulses as described previously and shown in steps one through four above. The digits in the LCD will blink indicating pulse setting is registered.

2. After the new pulse setting has been registered depress the UNITS SWITCH followed by the BLUE SWITCH as shown in step five above. Hold both switches down for 1.5 seconds.

3. Both digits of the LCD will blink indicating that the DEFAULT PULSE SETTING has been changed.

4. Verify the new DEFAULT PULSE SETTING by turning the power to the XR200 off and on while observing the LCD. The new setting should appear when the unit powers on.

5.7 SUGGESTED PULSE SETTINGS

The chart on the following page lists approximate pulses necessary to penetrate various materials. Settings are based on use with Polaroid 803 film in a cassette with a Rarex regular screen. Distance between the front of the XR200 and cassette is 24 inches. Note:

Pulse settings vary depending on imaging system used and distance between X-ray

unit and imaging medium.

The following is true when using Polaroid positive film or digital imaging system that generates a positive image. If the radiograph is too dark, the film is underexposed. If the radiograph is too light the film is overexposed. Underexposure can be corrected by increasing the number of pulses and/or decreasing the distance between the imaging medium (film cassette, imaging plate, or imager) and XR200. Overexposure can be corrected by reducing the number of pulses and/or increasing the distance between the imaging medium and XR200.

Underexposed Correct Exposure (Pulse Setting)

Over exposed Correct exposure (pulse setting)

5.8 DUTY CYCLE WARNING. The maximum duty cycle for the XR200 is 200 pulses every four minutes – 3000 pulses per hour. Two consecutive pulse trains of 99 pulses can be fired then the unit should rest to cool down for at least four minutes. The XR200 is a light duty

machine. It is not made to pulse continuously.

15

6.0 SOFTWARE

The software program that controls the microcontroller can be identified by turning the key switch on while both push button switches below the LCD are depressed. The LCD displays the software version 62. After 62 is displayed the total number of pulses on the XR200 will be displayed in the LCD. Each digit represents 10,000 pulses. Example: If the LCD reads 04 the total number of pulses on the XR200 is between 40,000 and 50,000 pulses. After the total number of pulses is displayed the LCD will read 00 or the default value that was last stored on the unit.

The software program is capable of determining the state of battery charge based on the time between each pulse. As the battery loses charge the XR200 pulses slower with more time between each pulse. If there is more than .33 seconds between two consecutive pulses the following will occur:

¾ The XR200 continues the current pulse train to 00.

¾ After the XR200 stops pulsing, the LCD will go back to the original pulse setting, but the left and right digits will blink alternately.

¾ The condition indicates a low battery.

¾ The XR200 will be inoperable until the key switch is turned off and on, or the battery is replaced.

If there is more than one second between two consecutive pulses.

¾ The XR200 stops pulsing immediately and the LCD displays 00.

¾ This function prevents XR200 from pulsing continuously if there is a failure in detecting circuitry.

¾ This condition may indicate a low battery, electrical noise, or failure in detecting circuitry.

¾ The operator may need to replace the battery pack, turn key switch off and on, or send the XR200 back for repair.

7.0 MAINTENANCE

7.1 X-RAY DOSE MEASUREMENT Using a dosimeter, the average X-ray dose for new tube can be established.

¾ With the dosimeter located one foot from the front of the case and in line with the center of the beam angle label, the reading for 10 pulses should be between 27 and 40 mR.

¾ The leakage sheet illustrates the X-ray dose and maximum allowable radiation leakage levels for each X-ray unit. A completed copy of this form accompanies each X-ray.

16

7.2 TUBE REPLACEMENT: The XR200 tube should last at least 100,000 pulses. Under normal conditions the tube’s output will decrease slowly with use. If the tube is broken or glass cracks the tube output will cease immediately. The following are tube replacement instructions.

1. Remove the battery before unscrewing the collimator. WARNING! There is a potential

of electric shock if the battery is not removed before unscrewing the collimator.

2. To replace the tube unscrew the collimator.

3. Using needle nose pliers or your fingers grab the front of the tube and pull straight out.

XR200 Tube

4. Inspect the tube for any cracks, holes, or carbon build up.

5. Slide the new tube in the same way the old one was removed. When handling the tube do not touch the glass part of the tube. Touch the metal part of the tube only. Oils and dirt can deposit on the glass causing arcing and premature tube failure.

6. Screw the collimator back on the head.
