However, the ‘HiSpeed’ series scanners are principally grouped into four, for which the following notations are given
respectively:
‘NP’, ‘NP+’, ‘NP++’ and ‘Twin’
In this manual, these notations NP, NP+, NP++, and Twin are used to describe differences among these four groups
and to make descriptions of this manual read simpler.
(However, ‘Twin’ is further grouped into two, that is, ‘NP+ Twin’ and ‘NP++ Twin’. In general outline,
NP+ Twin systems are NP/NP+ systems with a twin DAS/detector, and NP++ Twin systems are NP++ systems
with a twin DAS/detector. These code names also will be used when required.)
Table 1–1 describes the constitution of the major hardware of NP, NP+, NP++, Twin.

1-3 TEMPERATURE
During the installation and start–up of the system you must take continuous temperature checks to make sure the
environment meets specifications listed in Section 3 of the Preinstallation manual. Excessive temperature, coupled
with reduced air flow from clogged filters, may overstress components and cause failures.
Filters
Check and clean all electronic equipment dust filters. GE recommends initially doing this on a weekly basis, because
new installations always have dust and dirt present at this stage. Over a period of time, you may increase the mainte-
nance interval as site environment improves.
Specifications
During installation, use the temperature/humidity recorder and a thermometer to record the temperature and relative
humidity in the scan room. Make sure the data you collect meets the following temperature and humidity
specifications.
D Scan Room
Action
Contact the air conditioning supplier or your local GE service department when your data fails to meet any
specifications.

Input Selection
Verify that an input selection on the Power Distribution Unit (See Illustrations 1–4 or 1–5) meets the input power volt-
age. If not, correct them.
The ‘input power voltage’ here means the rating voltage specified on the power distribution box (hospital supply), not
the measured voltage on the power distribution box.

Instrument
Use the same instrument (Dranetz, etc.) to monitor line voltage during this check that you used during the preinstalla-
tion check. The recommended line analyzer is the Dranetz Model 606–3 (3 channel) with the 101 frequency option, or
Dranetz Model line monitor plug in modules. You can use a similar analyzer, as long as it can monitor and report mean
voltage, surges, sags, short term impulses, and frequency drift.
D Verify that the current line voltage equals the voltage measured during the preinstallation check.
D Verify that mean line voltage does not fall outside of equipment specifications during the day to day opera-
tion of other site equipment during the installation period.
D Look for any line voltage disturbances and check for a correlation between disturbances and system mal-
functions such as “Aborts” or component failures.
From the printouts, ensure that the power supply meets the following criteria:
D Line Voltage : 200 VAC(for JAPAN Only), 380 VAC, 400 VAC, 415 VAC, 440 VAC, 460 VAC or
480 VAC
(50 Hz/60 Hz) (Normal Steady State)
D Daily Voltage Variation : +10% to –5% from nominal steady state (50 Hz)
+6% to –5% from nominal steady state (60 Hz)
Action
Investigate any condition that falls out of spec. Identify the problem source(s) and resolve the problem.

WARNING
ROTATION HAZARD! BECAUSE OF THE CONTINUOUS ROTATION OF THE GANTRY THERE
ARE HAZARDS INVOLVED IN WORKING ON OR NEAR THE GANTRY. THE MOST OBVIOUS
HAZARD IS THE AXIAL MOTION OF THE GANTRY. THE HIGH VOLTAGE (HV) SUBSYSTEM
IS MOUNTED DIRECTLY ONTO THE GANTRY. THE HV SUBSYSTEM CONSISTS OF
COMPONENTS THAT ARE BULKY AND HEAVY. GIVE ROTATION HAZARDS RESPECT.
6. Rotate the Gantry manually to verify that nothing interferes the Gantry during rotation (cables, etc.).
Verify that the Gantry starts to rotate, and it stops at the home position (x–ray tube at 12 o’clock position) before
making two revolutions.

the DICOM Print Server and correct them using reconfiguration, CT Camera setting screen.
D Solution: Review the log file, the attention and status windows. These areas have the correct filming sta-
tus (e.g. film jam, supply empty)
D Solution: The timeouts for the DICOM Print were setup to ensure that the system would work regardless
of whether the DICOM Print Camera was on a LAN or a WAN halfway around the world. The DICOM Print
timeouts for the association and DIMSE classes (e.g. N–GET, N–DELETE) can be modified within the
DICOM Print camera installation. They can be reduced down to 90 seconds.
D Solution: When the User sees the above error they may want to consider that the issue may be an inactiv-
ity timer on the N–GET DIMSE Service.
D Solution: GEMS Laser Camera film format notation has always been
– row x col (e.g. 12 on 1 = 4x3)

D Solution: The camera.dev file in “~ctuser/app–defaults/devices” must be manually edited to remove the
offending characters in the set configuration line. Invalid characters include \{}
D Solution: Hold down the middle mouse button and move the field contents
D Solution: Using your favorite editor, add the following line to the camera.dev file located in “~ctuser/app–
defaults/devices” after the DICOM Print device has been otherwise configured.
For Trim Off – set TRIM NO
For Trim On – set TRIM YES
D Symptom: DICOM Print Camera supports multiple film sizes and the User only wants to print if the Film
Size is correct for [14x17]. [Otherwise the camera will queue the films or return an error causing the queue
to pause (based upon the DICOM Print Camera specifications).]
D Solution: Using your favorite editor, add the following line to the camera.dev file located in “~ctuser/app–

D Solution: The system is unable to complete the association. Check the AE Title and the Port number of
the DICOM Print Server and correct them using reconfiguration, CT Camera setting screen.
D Solution: Review the log file, the attention and status windows. These areas have the correct filming sta-
tus (e.g. film jam, supply empty)
D Solution: The timeouts for the DICOM Print were setup to ensure that the system would work regardless
of whether the DICOM Print Camera was on a LAN or a WAN halfway around the world. The DICOM Print
timeouts for the association and DIMSE classes (e.g. N–GET, N–DELETE) can be modified within the
DICOM Print camera installation. They can be reduced down to 90 seconds.
D Solution: When the User sees the above error they may want to consider that the issue may be an inactiv-
ity timer on the N–GET DIMSE Service.
D Solution: GEMS Laser Camera film format notation has always been
– row x col (e.g. 12 on 1 = 4x3)
– DICOM Print Standard film format notation is
– col x row (e.g. 12 on 1 = 3x4)

4-22 APPENDIX
4-22-1 The Reason Why the System State Data Must be Reloaded TWICE
For the system state data, the following principle exists:
The version of the system state data to be restored must be same as or higher than its version to be saved.
The figure below is an example of performing the LFC/LFW for the V/R 4.11 system. The V/R 4.11 system state data
is saved before LFC/LFW. The system state data is automatically reloaded after installing application software, but
this violates the principle described above because of the system V/R 4.10, not 4.11. So, after installing a patch soft-
ware to upgrade the system version to V/R 4.11, the system state data should be manually reloaded again.
For this reason, when performing LFC/LFW and patch software installation, the system state data must be reloaded
twice.
Up to now, a problem does NOT occur even if this principle is NOT strictly followed. However, when upgrading the
system to V/R 4.11, 4.01, 3.02, or 2.55 (Y2K FMI), this principle is required. If it is not followed, a part of the system
state data to be reloaded are destroyed.

5-18-3 The Reason Why the System State Data Must be Reloaded TWICE
For the system state data, the following principle exists:
The version of the system state data to be restored must be same as or higher than its version to be saved.
The figure below is an example of performing the LFC/LFW for the V/R 3.02 system. The V/R 3.02 system state data
is saved before LFC/LFW. The system state data is automatically reloaded after installing application software, but
this violates the principle described above because of the system V/R 3.00, not 3.02. So, after installing a patch soft-
ware to upgrade the system version to V/R 3.02, the system state data should be manually reloaded again.
For this reason, when performing LFC/LFW and patch software installation, the system state data must be reloaded
twice.
Up to now, a problem does NOT occur even if this principle is NOT strictly followed. However, when upgrading the
system to V/R 4.11, 4.01, 3.02, or 2.55 (Y2K FMI), this principle is required. If it is not followed, a part of the system
state data to be reloaded are destroyed.

Film Holders
Since the Z–Axis position of the Detector is adjusted on three locations (right, left, and center of the Detector),
three film holders are provided: two for the right and left ends of the Detector, and one for center.
c. Mount the three film holders with film onto the right and left ends and the center, of the Detector. When instal-
ling the center film holder, push it toward the Gantry until its center tab touches the center mounting support of
the Detector. See Illustrations 6–11.

For Detector Z–axis alignment of TWIN system, high accuracy is required for geometric position between X–ray beam
and detector. Detector is aligned so that each detector channel (A–ch and B–ch) counts becoming same.
This Filmless Detector Z axis alignment require a scan to the user, and calculates ratio of counts between A side and B
side on 3 area, (left, center, right). The ratio is converted to tolerance of detector (mm) and displayed. The user move
detector and retry BOW.

7-3-2 Q Calibration
The focus position of the x–ray tube shifts with temperature change. It will consequently shift the x–ray beam position
along the Z–axis. In this calibration, the following scans are automatically performed:
D four scans (Thickness: 1, 3, 5, and 10 mm) (when the x–ray tube is cold)
D warm–up scans
D four scans (Thickness: 1, 3, 5, and 10 mm) (when the x–ray tube is hot)
This calibration takes approximately 10 minutes.
1. Preparation:
Note
The bow–tie filter must be removed during Q calibration for both single and Twin detector system.
c. Remove the bow–tie filter from the collimator. (Refer to the Component Replacement manual.)
7-3-3 XT Calibration
The Lumex crystals of the detector cells generate light when they are hit by x–rays. Since the crystals are placed close
to the crystals of the adjacent channels, the light from one channel can interfere with adjacent channels, causing
crosstalk noise. This procedure creates a calibration file to compensate this interference.
This calibration takes approximately 15 minutes.
1. Preparation:
c. Remove the bow–tie filter from the collimator. (Refer to the Component Replacement manual.)

WARNING
ROTATION HAZARDS! WHEN YOU PRESS THE ‘POSN LIGHT’ BUTTONS (LARGE BUTTON
AND SMALL BUTTON), THE GANTRY QUICKLY ROTATES TO THE 0_ POSITION. IF IT IS
NECESSARY TO PLACE ANY PART OF YOUR BODY INSIDE OR NEAR THE GANTRY, SWITCH
OFF THE ‘SCAN’ SWITCH FIRST.
c. Position the phantom at the scan center; align the positioning lights and a cross marked on the phantom sur-
face.
d. Hold down the [Height] button to display the current height (ex. ‘–198’), and press the [Up] button to raise the
Table by 180 mm (ex. Until the Display reads ‘–018’).
If the Table can not be raised to the specified height due to the interlock function, switch ON (up) the T3 Table
dip switch on the TGP Board to disable the interlock function, and continue to raise the Table. In this case, be
careful not to have the Table collide against anything.

7-3-4 AV Calibration
The light emission of the Lumex Crystal persists after the x–ray radiation stops. This phenomenon is called ‘After
Glow.’ This procedure creates a file called After Glow Vector, used to compensate the After Glow.

If some scans are performed with the same conditions but with different scan times, the CT numbers may not be the
same for these scans. This is due to CAM Board gain changes caused by different scan times. The DG calibration
reduces the CT number changes.

D The DAS/Detector has been powered ON for more than two hours.
D The x–ray alignment (‘Plane of Rotation’, ‘Detector Bean–on–Window’, ‘Q–cal Channel Radio (For Twin
system ONLY)’, ‘Iso Center Alignment’, and ‘Filter Center Alignment’) is proper.
After ending this test, the ‘Filter Center Alignment’ check/adjustment is required.
Replace the filter if the test below fails; or, replace the filter approximately every 100,000 scans, since the filter materi-
al will be gradually deteriorated by x–ray radiation, which may cause crack or break in the filter.

NOTICE
Except in emergency, do not set the SYS/OFF/MNL switch to OFF while the gantry is rotating,
or the static brake will be damaged.
NOTICE
Repeated acceleration and deceleration operations of the gantry over a limited period of time
with these service switches may cause an Overload Alarm state or overheating of the energy
dissipation resistor in the servo amplifier.
When doing the operations, take a pause of approximately 20 seconds before changing the
speed.
Note
If the gantry is continuously rotated by the ABT position of the ABT/SVE/FIX switch, this may cause
an overflow of the azimuth counter on the TGP board, resulting an abnormal operation of the gantry.
If this occurs, press the reset button on the TGP board.

CLASS 1 EQUIPMENT
Any permanently installed equipment containing operator or patient accessible surfaces must provide backup protec-
tion against electric shock,in case the BASIC INSULATION fails. In addition to BASIC INSULATION,Class1 equip-
ment contains a direct connection to a PROTECTIVE(EARTH) CONDUCTOR which prevents shocks when a person
touches a broken piece of equipment or touches two different equipment surfaces simultaneously.
TYPE B EQUIPMENT
CLASS I, II, or III EQUIPMENT or EQUIPMENT with INTERNAL ELECTRICAL POWER SOURCES provide an ade-
quate degree of protection against electric shock arising from (allowable) LEAKAGE CURRENTS or a breakdown
in the reliability of the protective earth connection.
ORDINARY EQUIPMENT
Enclosed EQUIPMENT without protection against the ingress of water.
OPERATION 0f EQUIPMENT
CONTINUOUS OPERATION WITH INTERMITTENT LOADING.
Operation in which EQUIPMENT is connected continuously to the SUPPLY MAINS. The stated permissible loading
time is so short that the long term on–load operating temperature is not attained. The ensuing interval in loading is,
however, not sufficiently long for cooling down to the long term no–load operating temperature.
EQUIPMENT not suitable for use in the presence of a FLAMMABLE ANESTHETIC MIXTURE WITH AIR or WITH
OXYGEN or NITROUS OXIDE
CLEANING
The ProSpeed S series system is NOT WATERPROOF. It is NOT designed to protect internal components against
the ingress of liquids.Clean external system surfaces(Gantry,table,consoles and accessories)with a soft cloth dipped
in hot water and wrung DAMP/DRY. (NOT dripping!) IF NECESSARY, use only mild (dish washing liquid) soap to re-
move dirt.
NOTICE
Avoid damage to equipment! Some ”spray and wipe”cleaners etch and permanently cloud
clear plastic surfaces!! Use only warm water and mild liquid soap to clean surfaces.
