Introduction

Purpose:
This manual contains service information that will assist trained service personnel to isolate failures and
initiate repairs on the 7600 Digital Mobile C-Arm.

Scope:
The information within this manual refers to systems currently being manufactured. However, there are older
7600 systems in existence and, wherever necessary, this manual includes information and procedures
required to service any version 7600. As of this printing the only variations exist in systems with serial number
0142 and earlier. These earlier systems incorporate fixed film iris collimator settings. Systems 0143 and later
will not offer this option. Either system facilitates manual collimator operation in all modes. Later systems use
this method exclusively.

Target Audience:
Individuals that benefit the most from the information provided are those service personnel specifically trained
to perform the suggested services. Reading this manual without proper training does not qualify the reader to
service the 7600 Digital Mobile C-Arm.

Theory of Operation
Power
NOTE:
There is a Rev. A and a Rev. B PCB B104 for the Compact. The signal name or component designation
has an associated (A) or (B) to distinguish the variations existing between the two PCB’s. If an (A) or
(B) does not follow a signal name or component designation no change has occurred. The Series only
uses PCB B104 (B).
Power On:
Compact:
When you press on-switch S39 LED 39 illuminates and K1 on PCB B111 energizes. Power relay K1 energizes
AC passes to T1. T1 is tapped to provide 90 VAC to both NG1 and NG2 of the power plate assembly. Seventy
milliseconds later K2 energizes permitting current to bypass R1. The RC time constant established by R3 and
C1 on PCB B79 creats the 70ms delay.
In addition, when you press on-switch S39, you generate signal -KON(B). If your system has PCB B104, Rev. B
this signal rotates the monitor to the home position when you apply power applied. If your system has PCB
B104, Rev. A the monitor does not rotate to the home position at power up. However, monitor rotation to the
home position occurs by pressing each monitor rotation switch, S20 and S21, at the same time. This feature is
available with either Rev. A or Rev. B of PCB B104.
Series:
When you press on-switch S51 LED 52 illuminates and K1 on PCB B111 energizes. Power relay K1 in the C-
arm and power relay K3 in the Workstation energize passing AC to the C-arm T1 and the Workstation T1. T1 on
the C-arm is tapped to provide 90 VAC to NG1 of the power plate assembly. Seventy milliseconds later K2 in
both the C-arm and Workstation energize permitting current to bypass R1. This 70ms develops through the RC
time constant established by R3 and C1 on PCB B79.
In addition, when you press on-switch S39, you generate signal -KON(B). If your system has PCB B104, Rev. B
this signal rotates the monitor to the home position when power up. If your system has PCB B104, Rev. A the
COMPACT / SERIES 7600 Imaging System Service Manual - Theory of Operation

monitor does not rotate to the home position at power up. However, monitor rotation to the home position oc-
curs by pressing each monitor rotation switch, S20 and S21, at the same time. This feature is available with
either Rev. A or Rev. B of PCB B104.
Power Off:
Compact:
When you press off-switch S40, K1 de-energizes on PCB B111. This removes power from T1.
Series:
When you press off-switch S52 on the Workstation or S40 on the C-arm relays K1 on both the Workstation and
C-arm de-energize. Power relay K1 on the C-arm and K3 on the workstation then de-energize removing AC
power to both the Workstation and C-arm.
Emergency Off:
Compact / Series:
When you press emergency off switch S27, K1 is de-energized on PCB B111. This removes power from the
main transformer T1. The emergency off switch is in series with the system off switch.

System Warm-up and Generator Error:


Compact / Series:
The system requires a 30 second warm-up period before X-ray production. The warm-up sequence visually
displays as a blinking warm up indicator on the control panel. The control logic on PCB B100 consisting of PAL
U3, timer U14 and inverter U13 provides the signal -WARMLED necessary to illuminate the warm-up indicator.
After 30 seconds the signal goes high and extinguishes the warm-up indicator. Once the warm-up is complete
X-rays production may occur. If the temperature indicator does not extinguish or illuminates during an exposure
an error condition exists.
This condition can generally be attributed to: either the monoblock temperature is greater that 158 degrees F or
there is no tube current. To determine if you have an “Over Temperature” or a “No Tube Current” condition moni-
tor U2 pins 2 and 3 on PCB B43. If U2 pin 3 is a logic low an “Over Temperature” fault exists. If U2 pin 2 is a
logic low a “No Filament Current” fault exists.
COMPACT / SERIES 7600 Imaging System Service Manual - Theory of Operation

Lift Operation:
C-Arm Lift:
Compact / Series:
When you press up-switch S26/S29 you generate signal -KCUP. This signal travels to PCB B100. On this PCB
the signal becomes +INCUP and +CUP and eventually leaves the collector of T1 as -CUP. This signal exits
PCB B100 and passes through the upper limit switch to the normally closed contacts of relay K5 pin 3 on PCB
B105. The -CUP signal energizes the current control relay K1, direction control up relay K2 and current enable
up relay K4. These three relay’s, along with the normally closed contacts of the direction control down relay K3,
provide a path for the +24VDC out of BR1, located in the power plate assembly, to activate the motor.

C-Arm Down:
Compact / Series:
When you press down-switch S25\S30 you generate signal -KCDOWN. This signal enters PCB B100 where it
becomes +INCDOWN and +CDOWN and leaves the collector of T2 as -CDOWN. This signal exits PCB B100
and passes through the lower limit switch to the normally closed contacts of K4 pin 3 on PCB B105. The
-CDOWN signal energizes the current control relay K1, direction control down relay K3 and current enable
down relay K5. These three relays, along with the normally closed contacts of the direction control up relay K2,
provide a path for the +24VDC out of BR1, located in the power plate assembly, to activate the motor.

C-Arm No Movement:
Compact / Series:
The normally closed contacts of the direction control down relay K3 and the normally closed contacts of the
direction control up relay K2 place a ground potential on both sides of the lift motor.

Manual:
Compact / Series:
When you press switch S15 you generate the signal -IBZU (manual collimator iris close). This signal travels
through PCB B100 to the keyboard interface and control logic on PCB B101. The keyboard interface and iris
control logic consist of buffer U5, PAL’s U2, U3, transistor T7 and NAND gate U9. These components receive
the keyboard and control panel selection signals and provide the control signals necessary to activate the ap-
propriate relays required to open and close the iris collimator. Signal -IBZU inverts to +RBLMIN. This signal
passes through the normally closed contacts of K7 and energizes relay K6. The output of K6 is a pulsed signal
called -MIBZ. This signal passes through PCB B100 and the filter board to PCB B45 where it activates the
drive circuit relay K6. The activation of K6 applies +16VDC to the iris motor. De-energized relay K5 on PCB B45
provides the return path to ground.
When you press switch S18 you generate the signal -IBAUF (manual collimator iris open). This signal passes
through PCB B100 to the keyboard interface and control logic on PCB B101. It exits the control logic as
+RBLPLU and inverts at U1 on PCB B101 to activate the iris open relay K5. From relay K5 the pulsed signal
-MIBA passes through PCB B100 and the filter board to the drive circuit relay K5 on PCB B45. This applies
+16VDC to the iris motor. De-energized relay K6 on PCB B45 provides the return path.
COMPACT / SERIES 7600 Imaging System Service Manual - Theory of Operation

Normal:
Compact / Series:
In the normal mode the iris collimator defaults to the nine inch position. The keyboard interface and control
logic, consisting of buffer U5, PAL’s U2, U3, transistor T7 and NAND gate U9, activates the appropriate relays
necessary to establish the desired iris positioning signal (refer to relay truth table 1). The actual iris position
signal (POTIM) comes from the iris potentiometer located on the collimator assembly. These signals feed to the
iris comparator circuit that consists of the voltage divider network R52 and R2 and iris close comparator U6
and iris open comparator U7.
The difference between the desired iris position (applied to R52) and the actual iris position (applied to R2)
causes the iris comparators to either activate iris close relay K6 or iris open relay K5. The corresponding drive
signal, either pulsed open (-MIBA) or pulsed closed (-MIBZ), passes through PCB B100 and the filter board to
the drive circuit on PCB B45 that controls iris motor direction. Once the desired and actual iris positions match,
a ground potential exists on both sides of the iris collimator motor.
Hand:
Compact / Series:
When you press switch S34 LED 34 illuminates and you generate the signal -KHAND. This signal passes
through PCB B100 and exits PCB B100 as-KHA in route to the keyboard and control logic on PCB B101 (Com-
pact). The -KHAND signal passes through the keyboard interface and control logic on PCB B100 and exits this
PCB as +HANDMO (Series). The keyboard interface and iris control logic, consisting of buffer U5, PAL’s U2,
U3, transistor T7 and NAND gate U9, receives each signal and activates the appropriate relays necessary to
establish the desired iris positioning signal (refer to relay truth table 1). The actual iris position signal (POTIM)
comes from the iris potentiometer located on the collimator assembly. These signals feed the iris comparator
circuit that consists of the voltage divider network R52 and R2 and iris close comparator U6 and iris open com-
parator U7.
The difference between the desired iris position (applied to R52) and the actual iris position (applied to R2)
causes the iris comparators to either activate iris close relay K6 or iris open relay K5. The corresponding drive
signal, either pulsed open (-MIBA) or pulsed closed (-MIBZ), passes through PCB B100 and the filter board to
the drive circuit on PCB B45 that controls iris motor direction. Once the desired and actual iris positions match,
a ground potential exists on both sides of the iris collimator motor.
COMPACT / SERIES 7600 Imaging System Service Manual - Theory of Operation

Mag:
Compact / Series:
When you press switch S19, LED 19 illuminates and you generate the signal -KMAG. This signal enters PCB
B100 where it inverts and renamed as +MAG. The +MAG signal travels to the keyboard interface and control
logic on PCB B101. The keyboard interface and control logic, consisting of buffer U5, PAL’s U2, U3, transistor
T7 and NAND gate U9, activates the appropriate relays necessary to establish the desired iris positioning sig-
nal (refer to relay truth table 1).
The actual iris position signal (POTIM) comes from the iris potentiometer located on the collimator assembly.
These signals feed the iris comparator circuit that consists of voltage divider network R52 and R2 and iris close
comparator U6 and iris open comparator U7.
The difference between the desired iris position (applied to R52) and actual iris position (applied to R2) causes
the iris comparators to either activate iris close relay K6 or iris open relay K5. The corresponding drive signal,
either pulsed open (-MIBA) or pulsed closed (-MIBZ), passes through PCB B100 and the filter board to the
drive circuit on PCB B45 that controls iris motor direction. Once the actual and desired iris positions match, a
ground potential exists on both sides of the iris collimator motor.

Film:
Compact / Series:
When you press switch S4, LED 4 illuminates, and you generate the signal -KDA. This signal enters the key-
board interface and control logic on PCB B100. It exits this PCB as -DA* and enters the keyboard interface and
control logic on PCB B101 that places the system in the film mode. The keyboard interface and control logic on
PCB B101 will initiate iris collimator movement if you press switch S3. (This switch is only available on system
SN 142 and earlier). When you press switch S3, LED 3 illuminates, and you generate the signal -BL24. This
signal travels to the keyboard interface and control logic on PCB B100 and from there to the keyboard interface
and control logic on PCB B101. On PCB B101 the appropriate relays are activated to move the iris collimator to
the desired 24cm (9. 4”) position once the hand switch is pressed to make the film exposure. When the film
exposure concludes the iris collimator moves back to its previous position.
COMPACT / SERIES 7600 Imaging System Service Manual - Theory of Operation

If you select the film mode and no new iris collimator position the collimator will maintain its current position
and will change with the manual iris collimator switches on the control panel.
The difference between the desired iris position (applied to R52) and actual iris position (applied to R2) causes
the iris comparators to either activate iris close relay K6 or iris open relay K5. The corresponding drive signal,
either pulsed open (-MIBA) or pulsed closed (-MIBZ), passes through PCB B100 and the filter board to the
drive circuit on PCB B45 that controls iris motor direction. Once the actual and desired iris positions match, a
ground potential exists on both sides of the iris collimator motor.

Shutter And Rotation Motor Drive Control:


Compact / Series:
Switch’s S13 and S16 control shutter operation. When you press switch S13 you generate the shutter close
signal -SBZU. The SBZU signal travels through PCB B100 and the Filter Board and activates K2 of the drive
circuit on PCB B45. The activation of K2 applies +16VDC to the shutter motor. Relay K1 on PCB B45 provides
the return path to ground. When you press switch S16 you generate the shutter open signal -SBAUF. The
SBAUF signal travels through PCB B100 and the Filter Board and activates K1 of the drive circuit on PCB B45.
The activation of K1 applies +16VDC to the shutter motor in the reverse direction. Relay K2 provides the return
path to ground.
Switch’s S14 and S17 control shutter rotation. When you press switch S14 you generate the rotate counter-
clockwise signal -SBCCW. The SBCCW signal travels through PCB B100 and the Filter Board and activates K3
of the drive circuit on PCB B45. The activation of K3 applies +16VDC to the shutter rotation motor. Relay K4
provides the return path to ground. When you press switch S17 you generate the rotate clockwise signal
-SBCW. This signal travels through PCB B100 and the Filter Board and to K4 of the drive circuit on PCB B45.
The activation of K4 applies +16VDC to the rotation motor. Relay K3 provides the return path to ground. Shut-
ter close, shutter open, rotations counterclockwise and clockwise terminates upon limit switch activation.
COMPACT / SERIES 7600 Imaging System Service Manual - Theory of Operation

Fluoro Mode Control Logic:


Compact / Series:
When you press the handswitch you generate the signal -HAND. This signal enters PCB B106 and exits as
-HANDSW where it enters PCB B100 at the cathode of diode D15. When you press the footswitch you gener-
ate the signal -FUSS. This signal enters PCB B106 and exits this PCB as -FOOTSW where it enters PCB B100
at the cathode of diode D14.
On PCB B100 the control logic, consisting of PAL’s U2,U3 and IC’s U11 and U12, receives the -HANDSW or
-FOOTSW signal and generates the -FLUOREQ* signal. This signal exits PCB B100 and travels to PCB B104
at Opto-Isolator U2. The output signal from U2 is -XRY. The Series utilizes PCB B104 (B) located on the work-
station.
The -XRY signal then enters control logic PAL U1. U1 then generates the signal -SPT on pin 21 and the signal
-STRA on pin 6. The -STRA signal takes two paths after leaving U1 pin 6. One path is to the monitor X-ray
lamp logic, consisting of relay K1 and inverter U8, and enables the 24VAC necessary to light the X-ray on lamp
located on the top of the monitor. The second path has the signal -STRA entering Opto-Isolator U7 (A), U13
(B). The output from U7 (A), U13 (B) is -MEMFLUREQ that exits PCB B104 and enters PCB B100 and the
control logic consisting of PAL’s U2, U3 and IC’s U11 and U12. This control logic generates the signal -XRAY
that is responsible for a number of operations. It turns on LED D43 on PCB B100. In addition, it exits PCB
B100 and travels to the control panel where it illuminates the X-ray on indicator. At the same time, the -XRAY
signal travels to the kV and control logic on PCB B64 and the mA control logic on PCB B143 to initiate X-rays.
(Refer to the mA and kV theory in this section for more information). It also travels to the Filter Board and
monoblock as well as the fluoro time display logic on PCB B101.
The fluoro time and display logic on PCB B101, consisting of PAL’s U17 and U18 as well as IC’s U4, U10, U11,
U12, U13 and U14, provide and pass the timing pulses to the control panel necessary for the fluoro exposure
time display. These timing pulse signals include: 10ER, 100ER, 1000ER, 1ER, TIMA, TIMD, TIMC, TIMB. In
addition, the display logic on PCB B101 produces the signal -LEDALARM that travels to the control panel and
becomes signal -5MINLED required to illuminate the 5 minute warning indicator. Furthermore, when you press
control panel switch S28 you generate the signal —5MINSW that travels back to the fluoro time display logic on
PCB B101 and becomes signal -CLRBUZ required to extinguish the 5 minute warning indicator.
COMPACT / SERIES 7600 Imaging System Service Manual - Theory of Operation

If all other circuits are operating properly X-ray production begins. If an “Over Temperature” or a “No Tube Cur-
rent” condition occurs and the error signal -GERR develops. This signal exits the monoblock and travels to the
control logic on PCB B100 where X-ray production terminates. Refer to system warm-up and generator error
theory and the temperature sense theory, both in this section.
The -SPT signal enters Opto-Isolator U3 (A), U6 (B) and leaves PCB B104 in route to the image processor as
the signal -TRIGIN. This signal represents the frame store enable request sent to the BMS-500 (Compact) and
BMS-100 (Series) at parallel port S4.
The BMS-500 (Compact) and BMS-100 (Series), in response, generates and transmits from parallel port S4
the signal -TRIGOUT. This signal represents the frame store ready condition. The -TRIGOUT signal travels to
PCB B104 where it enters Opto-Isolator U3 (A), U7 (B). This signal exits U3 (A) or U7 (B) as -SPR and enters
the control logic PAL U1 pin 44.
The -SPR signal enters the control logic PAL U1 pin 44 and maintains the active signal -STRA until the image
processor has sufficient time for last image hold. The -SPR signal stays active for 640 msec after you release
the X-ray switch. Once the last image hold operation completes the —SPR signal goes high that causes the
-STRA signal to go high and X-rays terminate.

Film Mode Control Logic:


Compact / Series:
The film shot initiates by operating the handswitch. Before a film shot generates you must activate the film
mode switch S4 to create signal -KDA. The activation of this switch also illuminates LED 4. In addition, manual
selection of the kV occurs by operating the kV increase switch S11 creating the signal -KVPLUS or operating
kV decrease switch S12 creating the signal -KVMINUS. The kV default value displayed when you select the film
mode may also be used.
At the same time a manually selected exposure time must be entered. This occurs by operating the time in-
crease switch S5 that creates the signal -SECPLUS or time decrease switch S6 that creates the signal
-SECMINUS. Both of the manually selected time signals pass through PCB B100 before entering the film expo-

sure timer control logic on PCB B102. The film exposure timer control logic on PCB B102 generates the signals
necessary to illuminate the film exposure time display located on the control panel. The four timer signals in-
clude: QA, QB, QC, QD. These signals pass through PCB B101 before entering the control panel. The manually
selected kV theory appears in the kV generation and regulation section.
The combinations of handswitch signal -HANDSH and film mode signal -KDA at the control logic, consisting of
PAL U2 and buffer U12, on PCB B100 starts the film mode process. From the control logic the signal +DAREQ
(film exposure request) generates. This signal travels to the one second preparation timer and the control logic
consisting of PAL U3, inverter’s U11 and U23 and relay K1. The preparation timer generates signal +MOVORB
that travels to the same control logic as the +DAREQ signal.
This control logic generates the three signals necessary for X-ray production in the film mode. They include:
-DA, -XRAY and -ENCNT63. Signal -DA is active one second before the exposure and illuminates LED D36 on
PCB B100 and continues to the Filter Board and monoblock. The -DA signal also travels to the filament mA
select logic to place the system in the 20mA mode. Signal -XRAY illuminates LED D43 on PCB B100 and con-
tinues to the Filter Board and monoblock. In addition, the -XRAY signal travels to the control panel to illuminate
X-ray indicator, LF1 and to PCB B64 to enable the kV control logic and PCB B143 to enable the mA control
logic. Finally, it goes to the film exposure timer control logic on PCB B102. At this time X-ray production begins.
If all other circuits are operating properly, X-ray production begins. If an “Over Temperature” or “No Filament
Current” condition develops the error signal -GERR generates. This signal exits the monoblock and travels to
the control logic on PCB B100 and X-ray production terminates. Refer to system warm-up and generator error
theory and the temperature sense theory, both in this section.
The -ENCNT63 signal is the count signal generated by the control logic located on PCB B100. This signal trav-
els to the film exposure time and control logic on PCB B102. The film exposure time and control logic will moni-
tor the -ENCNT63 signal and compare it to the control panel selected exposure time. When the two internal
registers detect an “equal” condition the film exposure time and control logic generates and transmits the
+ENDA signal to the control logic on PCB B100 necessary to terminate X-ray production.

Kv Generation & Regulation:


Compact / Series:
Manual:
When you press the KV Manual switch S10 LED 10 illuminates and you generate the signal -KKVMAN. This
signal feeds the keyboard interface and control logic on PCB B100 and from there it enters PCB B64 at relays
D6 and D7. It also enters the KV Control Logic on PCB B64 where it combines with the -KVPLUS, (KV in-
crease) and the -KVMINUS, (KV decrease), produced during manual kV selection, and the -XRAY signal nec-
essary for any exposure. The -KVPLUS, -KVMINUS and -XRAY enter PCB B64 from PCB B100.
The KV Control Logic feeds the kV Display Control on PCB B64 where a 4 bit kV display code generates and
feeds back to the control panel to display the selected kV. The -KKVMAN signal energizes D6 that sends the
video level signal from the camera to ground. The -KKVMAN signal also energizes relay D7 to select manual
kV control. The output of PCB B64 is KVSOLL. The KVSOLL signal is a dc voltage corresponding to the KV
selected. Refer to table 2 for additional information.

KVSOLL travels from PCB B64 to PCB B100 where it goes through variable resister R28, required for the kV
calibration, and comparator IC7. The output from this comparator is KVSOLL*. This signal travels from PCB
B100 and passes through the Filter Board and PCB B45 and into PCB B54. From PCB B54 the signal enters
PCB B43 as H. V. PWM Drive. On this PCB additional kV regulation occurs and the signal combines with the
Drive Pulses at IC13. The 4 outputs from IC13 travel to Power Driver PCB B42 and its intermediate drive circuit.
COMPACT / SERIES 7600 Imaging System Service Manual - Theory of Operation

The modulated pulse signal outputs travel from PCB B42 to feed Power PCB B40. These modulated pulses
turn on the FETs in pairs: Groups I and IV or Groups II and III. The current flow in transformers Tr3 to Tr8 gen-
erates an induction voltage that transforms up, rectified and cascaded to a maximum of +/- 55kV on the anode/
cathode. The power developed by the primary transformer T1 and governed by the control logic of PCB B100
and the VAC select relays on PCB B79. These relays pass either 90VAC, 120VAC and 195VAC depending
upon the mode selected and the monoblock temperature. The signals that determine the relay activity are the
temperature sense signal, -QMA05 and the -SWITRAF signal. The VAC outputs from PCB B79 rectify to DC
and then pass through the Filter Board and provide power to the FET’s on PCB B40. Refer to table 3 for addi-
tional information.

When you press the auto fluoro mode switch S7 you generate the signal -KFLUORO. In addition, the auto
fluoro mode relays D6 and D7 on the B64 PCB remain de-energized. This removes the ground path of video
level signal, DLIST, from the camera PCB AU-01 and allows it to feed through OP AMP IC25 and become
KVSOLL. Refer to the KVSOLL control table 2.

MA Generation & Regulation is kV controlled. From figure 1 above it demonstrates that in certain modes and
kV ranges the mA output does not change. In addition, when mA varies, kV drives the mA output.
The mA control process begins with the KVSOLL signal generated on PCB B64. The KVSOLL signal travels to
PCB B143 where it combines with either the fluoro or film mode selection made at the control panel. At the
same time the Filament mA Select Logic on PCB B143 activates the appropriate IC switches necessary to
match the mA output with any X-ray mode selected.
A time interval of 1 second between exposures in fluoroscopy occurs to allow the filament current to decrease.
All fluoro and film modes operate in the same manner as described below in the snapshot mode except for the
switch, LED and signal designations. Therefore, understanding snapshot will allow you to follow any selected
fluoro or film mode.

Snapshot/Oneshot:
Compact / Series:
When you press switch S9, LED 9 illuminates and you generate the signal -KSIPU. This signal enters the key-
board interface control logic on PCB B100. The signals out of this board are -SIPU* and -XRAY. These two
signals travel to the filament mA select logic on PCB B143. The filament mA select logic then activates the
appropriate IC switches in U10, U9 and U8 to produce an 8mA output. U10, U9 and U8 are digitally selected
analog CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) switches.
Once this concludes, the filament voltage regulation and overvoltage logic section of PCB B143 produce the
UH Filament Voltage. This is an analog representation of the mA. From PCB B143, the UH Filament Voltage
passes through the filter board and to the filament current detect circuit on PCB B40. The filament pre-drive
logic on PCB B43 feeds the filament drive transistors on PCB B40. These drive transistors combine with the
UH Filament Voltage on PCB B40 to drive either filament.
From the monoblock, which is a combination of the tank and tube, the mA Sense line passes through PCB B40
and to the mA detect logic on PCB B43. On this PCB the mA Sense line becomes MAIST. The MAIST signal
exits PCB B43 and passes through PCB B45 and the filter board to PCB B100. On PCB B100 the signal takes
two paths. One path feeds the mA display control circuit on PCB B100 where it then feeds the control panel mA
COMPACT / SERIES 7600 Imaging System Service Manual - Theory of Operation

display after passing through PCB B64. The second path feeds the MAIST signal out of PCB B100 where it
travels to comparator U12 pin 5 on PCB B143. The output of comparator U12 pin 7 sums with the mA control
line. The output of comparator U12 pin 1 is the corrective voltage. This voltage travels to the filament voltage
regulation and overvoltage logic on PCB B143. The output from this logic is the UH Filament Voltage that ap-
plies to the filament to increase or decrease mA output.

Temperature Sense:
Compact / Series:
When the internal monoblock temperature sense thermistor detects a temperature of greater than 144 degrees
F, the mA output limits to 0. 5 mA. The temperature sense line feeds from the monoblock to PCB B45. It exits
PCB B45 and passes through the Filter Board and exits this board as signal -QMA05. From the Filter Board the
signal travels to PCB B100. From this PCB the signal takes two paths. One path is to the Filament mA Select
Logic on PCB B143. The Filament mA Select Logic then activates the appropriate switches necessary to limit
the mA generation to 0. 5 mA. The other path is to PCB B79 where it limits the high voltage power to 90VAC.

Image Intensifier:
Compact:
The -KMAG signal created by pressing switch S19 enters PCB B100 where it inverts and renamed to +INMAG
and +MAG and exits PCB B100 as -MAG*. The -MAG* signal travels to PCB B212 where it splits to feed the
camera power supply PO2 and the I. I. power supply PCB B34. The PO2 power supply receives 24VDC from
power supply, NG-1. This 24VDC passes through PCB B212 before entering the PO2 power supply. In addition,
the PO2 power supply transmits the signal HSYNC to PCB B34 commonly referred to as the I. I. power supply.
The PO2 power supply also transmits 18VDC through PCB B212 to the I. I. power supply. The combination of
the -MAG*, HSYNC and +18v places the image intensifier in the magnification mode.
COMPACT / SERIES 7600 Imaging System Service Manual - Theory of Operation

Series:
The series system has the Hand and Mag image intensifier modes. You select the Mag mode or II MAG1 mode
by pressing switch S19. To enter the Hand mode or II MAG2 mode you must select both the Hand, switch S34
and Mag, switch S19.
The -KHAND signal generated when you press switch S38 enters PCB B100. On this PCB the name becomes
+IOHAND, +HANDMAG and exits as -HANDMAG. The signal -HANDMAG passes through PCB B212 and into
PCB B34. PCB B34 is the image intensifier power supply.
The -KMAG signal generated when you press switch S19 enters PCB B100. On PCB B100 the -KMAD signal
inverts and becomes +INMAG. The +INMAG becomes +MAG1. The +KMAG signal becomes -MAG* and exits
PCB B100. The -MAG* signal travels to PCB B212. On PCB B212 the -MAG* signal splits and feeds PCB B34
or II power supply. And feeds LST1 on the camera.
When you press S38 you generate the signal -GAMMA. The-GAMMA signal passes through PCB B100 and
PCB B212. From PCB B212 the -GAMMA signal enters the VD01 PCB of the camera head assembly.
The camera power supply, PO2 , receives +24v from NG1. The camera power supply feeds and passes +18v
through PCB B212 and onto the image intensifier power supply, PCB B34.

Figure 2 BMS-500 SYSTEM


COMPACT / SERIES 7600 Imaging System Service Manual - Theory of Operation

Functional Description:
The BMS-500 offers multiple image recording functions. The individual functions occur via the parallel port S4.
All the inputs and outputs of the parallel port are Low Active, that is, if there is a zero level at the input of the
parallel port, the input activates and the corresponding function commences.
After you turn on the unit, the initialization completes and the readiness of image recording functions displays
by the presence of a test image on the monitor.
During the initialization, a self-test performs and the message “WAIT” appears in the status line that indicates
that no functions occur for the duration of the self-test.
An additional output that can appear in the status line independent of the functions is the message
“OUTSYNC. ” This message indicates that the image memory is being synchronized with the connected video
source.
No image recall occurs during this time, but all other functions will execute.
The components of the BMS-500 Frame Store Assembly are:
The BSA-500 Subassembly is the central image recording and processing unit. It comes with the BNC jack
sockets for the video input (VIN) and the video output (VOUT). It also contains the digitization unit, and the
overlay and control logic.
BMS-500C. The BSA-500C subassembly contains the image memory.
NWA-500. The NWA-500 subassembly receives images from the BSA-500 subassembly and outputs these
images to either the hard copy printer and/or monitor. The NWA-500 subassembly has a total of 4 video out-
puts (V1 - V4). V1 supplies a 50/60Hz image and V2 - V4 each supplies a 100/120 Hz image signal. V1 feeds
the hard copy printer and V4 feeds the video monitor.
The CPU-100 subassembly is the central processing unit. It contains a Reset Switch and three LED’s. The
three LED’s are SV, L2 and L3. The Reset Switch will restart the software. The SV LED, also referred to as the
supervisor LED, display’s processor operation. L2 indicates whether the image memory runs in synchronization
with the video signal at the input of the image memory. If not, the LED turns off for the duration of the synchro-
nization that then initiates. You can not acquire images during synchronization. Subsequently, L2 and L3 can
COMPACT / SERIES 7600 Imaging System Service Manual - Theory of Operation

also indicate error conditions that may occur during the self test. The self test performs automatically each time
the system starts or restarts.
The BMS-500 Frame Store Assembly requires +/-12VDC and +5VDC received from Power Supply NG2.

The image recording divides into two phases: continuous display and storage (LIVE Phase), and the end of the
continuous storage of the video signal. (STO Phase)
Different methods to reduce noises are available for the two phases:
For the LIVE Phase, the user can select between direct display (no filtering) and recursive filtering (AVR).
In recursive filtering, an average corresponding to the selected filter stage occurs between the past image and
the current image. The weighting ratio is as follows:
• Filter Stage 1 at a ratio of 50% to 50%
• Filter Stage 2 at a ratio of 60% to 40%
• Filter Stage 3 at a ratio of 75% to 25%
• Minimum time: 80 ms
For the STO Phase, between storing the current image and integration, the user can select from 2 to 256 im-
ages (in steps of powers of two).
Time = No. of images * 40 ms.
The method for noise suppression comes from the SETUP menu. It activates with the Signal <Mode>.
The image recording phases display on the status line located at the lower edge of the picture. Messages in-
clude “LIVE” and “STORE. ”
The instantaneous image content of the monitor stores on the RAM disk during the LIVE Phase with the signal
<M+> at the parallel port. Only one image stores with each signal.
Select automatic storage from the SETUP menu. In the active stage (response “MAUTO” at the parallel port),
the current image stores on the RAM disk after each image recording (after the STO phase).
Image Recording:
To control the image recording, there is a recording input at the parallel interface to activate and end the re-
cording process. As long as the signal is LOW active, the system is in the LIVE mode. It then automatically
switches to the STO mode.
With image recording units in which there is a delay between the start of recording and the transmission of the
COMPACT / SERIES 7600 Imaging System Service Manual - Theory of Operation
first image, a delay time for the image recording after the activation of the recording input can be set in the
SETUP menu.
The image storage system then waits to input the image until this amount of time has passed before storing the
first image. During this period of delay, the message “WAIT” appears on the lower edge of the monitor screen.
Image recording units activate only briefly to record images controlled by the BMS-500 via the recording out-
put.
Auto-Window:
The BMS-500 image storage system is capable of expanding a limited gray range over the full contrast range
of 0 to 255 (8-bit). The contrast spread does not change the content of the image, only the display.
The minimum and maximum gray-scale values develop from the average trimmed picture. These values calcu-
late the optimal contrast and brightness of the image for the contrast spread. The calculation and setting of the
contrast spread occur automatically during the LIVE phase, either cyclically or by being called up (Auto-win-
dow) with the final image (STO). This function activates and deactivates via the signal <Auto-window> on the
parallel port. The time at which the calculation activates occurs in the SETUP menu. With the Auto-window
function inactive, the entire contrast range from 0 to 255 always displays. If the Auto-window function is active
while in the LIVE phase, the contrast values continuously updated during the LIVE Phase and retained for the
STO Phase. On the other hand in Auto-window during STO, the contrast values over the entire range reset at
the beginning of the LIVE Phase, and are recalculated only in the STO phase.
When you turn on the unit, the Auto-window function activates automatically.
Ram Disk Functions:
In the BMS-500 image storage system, the images displayed on the monitor store on a standard installed RAM
disk, and can be read from the same disk. Three images store on a RAM disk.
Store Images <M+>:
With the signal <M+>, the current image from the monitor stores on the RAM Disk. Only one image stores per
<M+> signal. After storing, the image number automatically increases. Once the maximum number of images
store, the next image is Number 1. Older images disappear. In addition, the image content and contrast range
are also stored on the RAM disk. Stored images decimate once you remove power from the system.
COMPACT / SERIES 7600 Imaging System Service Manual - Theory of Operation

Search Forward <M> And Backward <M<>:


The RAM disk searches forward with the signal <M>> and backwards with the signal <M<>.
The image number automatically increases or decreases by one before reading. The user can thereby select
between the display of an individual image or a continuous display of the images.
The RAM disk is in the Individual Image Mode when one of the two signals activates briefly. Each signal in-
creases or decreases the Image Number by 1. If one of the signals activates for longer than 100 ms, the RAM
disk automatically switches to continuous display.
As long as the respective signal remains active, images display from the RAM disk on the monitor in ascending
or descending sequence. For identification purposes, the current image number displays on the monitor.
The length of time between the display of the individual images determined by selecting the Search Delay in
the SETUP menu, in intervals from 40 ms to 10 s.
After the signal terminates, the image most recently selected displays with the corresponding contrast data.
The RAM disk searches cyclically. When the highest image number occurs, the search continues with Image
No. 1, and vice-versa.
Automatic Storage:
By way of the “Automatic Storage” menu item in the SETUP menu, the user can select whether or not the cur-
rent image stores automatically on the RAM disk after the STO Phase.
When “Automatic Storage” turns on, the message “ON” appears in the SETUP menu after the menu item and
the acknowledgment “MAPUTO” at the parallel port after leaving the SETUP menu.
Image Reversal:
At the 100/120 Hz output of the NWT-500 subassembly, the image displays reversed left to right. The reversal
commences by a signal at the Image Reversal input of the parallel port and displays at the corresponding out-
put.
The reversed image not available at the 50/60 Hz outputs of the system.

BMS-500 Service Information:


Each time the BMS-500 starts or restarts, it performs a self-test that takes approximately 7 seconds. If an error
occurs during this test, it appears via the LEDs on the CPU-100 card or on the monitor.
Error: After starting, no test image appears, and the SV LED on the CPU-100 does not light. Cause: Defect in
the CPU-100.
Error: No test image appears after starting, and the L3 LED on the CPU-100 flashes. Cause: Defect in the
CPU-100. The number of flashes of the L3 LED indicates the error:
• 1 flash - Error in program memory (EPROM/PROM)
• 2 flashes- Error in data memory (RAM)
• 3 flashes- Error in clock module

Error: No test image appears after starting, and the L2 LED on the CPU-100 flashes. Cause: Defect in the
image memory cards BSA-500 or BSA-500C. The number of flashes of the L2 LED indicates the error:
• 1 Flash- A-card defective or missing
• 2 Flashes- B-card defective or missing
• 3 Flashes- Memory error (RAM) on the BSA-500 card
• 4 Flashes- Memory error (RAM) on the BSA-5OOC card
• 5 Flashes- IC error on BSA-500 card
• 6 Flashes- Controller error on the BSA-500 card
• 7 Flashes- Other error on BSA-500 unit
Additional errors display at the lower left edge of the screen. Such as Data loss that would indicate the
EEPROM or the battery-buffered RAM in the CPU-100 is defective. Also, NWA-card defective would indicate
the NWA-500 card is defective.

integration is carried out can be entered.
MINOP and MAXOP Values:
For MINOP and MAXOP the integration number of images for the mask, the interval time, the relative value
and the enhancement have to be adjusted independently from each other. These functions operate with a lin-
ear contrast enhancement defined by a contrast amplification.
For optimum use of the 256 gray levels, the user can select a reference value for the subtraction results on
which the result 0 displays (same content of mask and live image). The interval time makes it possible to select
a timing control. If the time is 0, the subtraction performs.

Hardware:
The image processing system BMS-100 is integrated into a 19-inch housing.

Figure 5 - BMS-100 system


This housing contains the VMEbus boards, the power supply unit, one or more hard disks and the interfaces.
The following chapters describe these components.
CPU-100 Board:
The CPU-100 board is the central processing unit of the BMS-100 system.
It contains the Motorola CPU 68000, the RAM and EPROM and various interfaces, among these are two
serial, one parallel and one SCSI interface.
The front panel comes equipped with the reset button and 3 LED’s (SV, L3, L2).
The reset button is used for a new start of the software.
COMPACT / SERIES 7600 Imaging System Service Manual - Theory of Operation

LED “SV” is on, if the processor is in the “supervisor mode”. As all


programs are usually carried out in this mode, this LED indicates that
the processor is in operation.
LED “L2” indicates whether the frame store synchronizes with the
video signal on the input of the frame store. If this is not the case, the
LED turns off during the synchronization. During this time it is not
possible to record images.
With each turn-on or reset of the system a self test carries out auto- Reset Button
matically. If an error occurs, the LED’s “L2” and “L3” indicates the
cause of the errors.

Image System Frame Store Control:


Compact:
Four selections from the control panel affect the image on the monitor. These include: Reversal, Auto-window,
Save and Increment Memory.
When you press switch S22 you activate the image reversal function. This creates signal -KMIR. This signal
exits the control panel and enters the control logic on PCB B100. It exits the control logic as -KMIR. The KMIR
signal travels to PCB B104 and exits this PCB as -MIR. This is the reverse image request signal sent to parallel
port S4 on the BMS-500 Frame Store Assembly. The Frame Store Assembly completes the request and sends
the reverse image acknowledge signal, -LEDMIR, to PCB B104. In addition, the BMS-500 sends the horizon-
tally modified image signal out port V4 on the NWA-500 subassembly to display on the monitor. The signal,
-LEDMIR, enters PCB B104 and inverts to +LEDMIR and exits this PCB and returns to the control panel to
activate LED 22, confirming the completed image reversal request.
When you press switch S37 you activate the auto-window function. This creates signal -KENH that travels from
the control panel to PCB B104. It exits the PCB as -ENH. This is the auto-window request signal sent to parallel
port, S4, of the BMS-500 Frame Store Assembly. The BMS-500 Frame Store Assembly completes the request
and sends the auto window acknowledge signal, -LEDENH (A) or -ENHLED (B) to PCB B104. The BMS-500
sends the modified image out port V4 on the NWA-500 subassembly to display on the monitor. The signal,
-LEDENH (A) or -ENHLED (B) enters PCB B104 and inverts to +LEDENH (A) or +LEDAENH (B). This signal
exits this PCB and returns to the control panel to activate LED 37, confirming the completed image request.
When you press switch S101 you activate the image save function. This creates signal -KSAFE that travels
from the control panel to PCB B104. On this PCB the signal becomes -SAFE and exits as -M+. This is the save
image request signal sent to parallel port S4 of the BMS-500 Frame Store Assembly. The BMS-500 Frame
Store Assembly completes the request by storing the image in the BSA-500C subassembly.
The storage capability of the 7600 is three images. As save requests initiated by the BMS-500 Frame Store unit
replaces the earliest image with the latest image. As you recall images the current image on the monitor be-
comes the fourth image available. This process occurs by pressing switch 36 on the control panel. This gener-
ates signal -KUP that travels to PCB B104. The signal exits PCB B104 as -M>.
COMPACT / SERIES 7600 Imaging System Service Manual - Theory of Operation

The -M> signal is the increment image memory signal sent to parallel port S4 on the BMS-500 Frame Store
Assembly. The-M> signal causes the stored image register to sequence one image. Refer to figure 9 for proper
sequencing:

exits this PCB as -KMIRIN and enters the keyboard matrix logic on Frame Frequency 60hz
PCB B550. This is the reverse image request signal sent to parallel
port S4 on the BMS-100 Frame Store Assembly. The Frame Store Live Delay 200ms
Assembly completes the request and sends the reverse image ac-
knowledge signal, -LEDMIR, to PCB B104. In addition, the BMS-100 Filter Code Source Extern.
sends the horizontally modified image signal out port V4 on the NWA-

workstation and PCB B104. It exits the PCB as -KENHIN and enters Print Time 2000ms
the keyboard matrix logic on PCB B550. This is the auto-window re-
quest signal sent to parallel port, S4, of the BMS-100 Frame Store Image Position 0
Assembly. The BMS-100 Frame Store Assembly completes the re-
quest and sends the auto window acknowledge signal, -ENHLED to
Message Language English
PCB B104. The BMS-100 sends the modified image out port V4 on
the NWA-500 subassembly to display on the monitor. The
signal,-ENHLED enters PCB B104 and inverts to +LEDENH. This Figure 10
signal exits this PCB and returns to the control panel to activate LED
31, confirming the completed image request.
COMPACT / SERIES 7600 Imaging System Service Manual - Theory of Operation

When you press switch S101 you activate the image save function. This creates signal -KSAFE that travels
from the control panel to the workstation and PCB B104. On this PCB the signal becomes -KSAFE and exits
as -KSAFEIN. This is the save image request signal sent to parallel port S4 of the BMS-100 Frame Store As-
sembly. The BMS-100 Frame Store Assembly completes the request by storing the image in the BSA-500C
subassembly.
The storage capability of the Series 7600 is 400 images. As save requests initiated the BMS-100 Frame Store
unit replace the earliest image with the latest image. Images recall by pressing switch 36 on the control panel.
This generates signal -KUP that travels to the workstation and PCB B104. The signal exits PCB B104 as
-KUPIN and enters PCB B550 and travels to the BMS-100 where the next sequenced image or selected image
displays on the left monitor.
Image System Video Path:
Compact:
The CCD chip of the camera head XCD01 receives the intensified image and generates the video-in signal to
the VD-01 PCB. This board provides the video signal amplification, circular blanking, video sync, white clip and
black level. PCB AU-01 supplements circular blanking and provides window and shading. Camera power sup-
plied by PO2. This supply obtains its operating voltage from the +24VDC portion of NG1. In addition, the -MAG
and -HAFDOS signals generated with the control panel switches also enter the camera at PCB B213. These
signals place the camera in either the magnification mode or half dose mode.
The video-out signal (white wire) exits PCB VD-01 and enters the BMS-500 Frame Store Assembly at the
Video In connector of the BSA-500 subassembly.
Video Bypass:
1. Disconnect the BSA-500 ‘VIN’ connector.
2. Disconnect the NWA-500 ‘V4’ connector.
3. Connect these two cables using a barrel connector.
4. Set the switch at the rear of the monitor for 15khz operation (12-inch).
5. Set the switch at the rear of the monitor for 16khz operation (17-inch).
COMPACT / SERIES 7600 Imaging System Service Manual - Theory of Operation

Series:
The Series operates like the Compact. The only difference is the addition of the -GAMMA signal. The -GAMMA
signal places the camera in the hand magnification mode.
Video Bypass:
1. Disconnect the BSA-500 ‘VIN’ connector.
2. Disconnect the NWA-500 ‘V4’ connector.
3. Connect these two cables using a barrel connector.
4. Set the switch at the rear of the monitor for 16khz operation (17-inch).

Image System Printer Control:


Compact:
When you press control panel switch S24 you request a hard copy. This creates signal -KPRINT. This signal
travels through PCB B100 to PCB B104. It exits PCB B104 as -PRINTREQ and travels to the BMS-500 parallel
port, S4, pin 11 and exits parallel port, S4, pin 6 as -PRINTACKN. The -PRINTACKN signal travels to PCB
B104 and exits this PCB B104 as -PRINTACK*(A) and -PRTACKN(B). The -PRINTACK*(A) or the
-PRTACKN(B) signal enters the control panel and exits the control panel as -PRINT. The -PRINT signal travels
to PCB B106 and exits in route to the hard copy printer. The hard copy printer returns signal +BUSY to PCB
B106. This signal exits this PCB and travels to the control panel to illuminate LED 24. In addition, the BMS-500
Frame Store Assembly transmits the video image out terminal V1 on the NWA-500 and through PCB B106 to
the hard copy printer.
Series:
When you press the control panel switch S32 you create the -KPRINT signal. This signal travels through PCB
B100. Through the interconnect cable. Through PCB B104(B) of the workstation to PCB B550. The -KPRINT
signal becomes the PRINT signal and exits PCB B550 and travels to the V24, serial connector on the BMS-
100. It exits the BMS-100 at parallel port S4 and travels through PCB B104(B) and exits this PCB as signal
-PRINTACKN. From PCB B104(B) the -PRINTACKN signal travels back to PCB B550 and out as -PRINT to the
COMPACT / SERIES 7600 Imaging System Service Manual - Theory of Operation

hard copy camera. The hard copy camera upon receiving the -PRINT signal generates the +BUSY signal that
travels to PCB B550. Where it illuminates LED 49 and becomes the -BUSY signal. From PCB B550 the -BUSY
signal travels to PCB B104(B) and exits this PCB as +BUSY. The +BUSY signal travels back through the inter-
connect cable to the control panel and illuminates LED 32.

Annotation Keyboard Control:


Compact:
The patient annotation keyboard generates the TXD signal. This signal enters PCB B106 and exits this PCB as
RXD. The RXD signal travels to the S2 serial port on the BMS-500 Frame Store Assembly. The BMS-500 gen-
erates the signal +RTS. The +RTS signal travels to PCB B106 and exits this PCB as -CTS in route to the anno-
tation keyboard. In addition, the BMS-500 processes the patient text and transmits the text data out the V4 port
on the NWA-500 section for display on the monitor.

Series:
The patient annotation keyboard creats the keystroke address and transfers it to the decoder PCB. The de-
coder PCB generates the TXD signal and transmits it to the serial port of the BMS-100. The TXD signal be-
comes a changing state text data signal when you press a key. The BMS-100 generates the +CTS signal. The
BMS-100 processes the patient text and transmits the text data out the V4 port on the NWA-500 section for
display on the monitor.

There is a Rev. A and a Rev. B PCB B104. In the theory section a signal name proceeded by an (A) or (B)
distinguishes any signal name variations between the two PCB’s. If neither an (A) nor (B) follows a signal name
then no signal name change has occurred between revisions. PCB B104 Rev. B is backwards compatible to
Rev. A. However, PCB B104 Rev. A cannot replace PCB B104 Rev. B.
Main transformer T1 provides, through a 1. 6A fuse F5, PCB B111MR transformer T1 with 120VAC. Trans-
former T1 on PCB B111MR has a 50 ma fuse on each primary leg labeled as F1 and F2. This transformer
provides 24VAC through PCB B104 to the direction relays on PCB B103 in the monitor assembly.
COMPACT / SERIES 7600 Imaging System Service Manual - Theory of Operation

When you press counterclockwise rotation switch S20 or clockwise rotation switch S21 on the control panel you
generate the signal LL (A), (B). This signal travels through PCB B100 and PCB B104 to PCB B103 in the moni-
tor assembly. The direction control logic on this PCB activates the appropriate direction relay. The activation of
either relay allows +12VDC to energize the monitor rotation motor.
The signal -KON (B) utilized with PCB B104 Rev. B rotates the monitor to the home or center position when the
system is initially power on and rotates the monitor to the home or center position when switch S39 remains
down anytime after system power is applied. The -KON (B) signal is generated at the control panel and travels
to the rotation home position logic on PCB B104 Rev B. The -KON (B) signal is tied into the LL signal path
described in the previous paragraph and travels to PCB B103 to activate the appropriate direction relays.
When you press both rotation buttons the monitor will rotate to the home or center position. This applies to any
system regardless of which PCB B104 revision.

Series:
The Series 7600 will only incorporate PCB B104 Rev. B. In addition, the Series incorporates PCB B116 in
place of PCB B111MR.
Main transformer T1 provides, through a 100mA fuse F1, PCB B116 transformer T1 with 230VAC.
Transformer T1 on PCB B116 has a 315mA fuse on each primary leg labeled as F4 and F5. This transformer
provides 24VAC through PCB B104 to the direction relays on PCB B103 in the monitor assembly.
When you press the left monitor counterclockwise rotation switch S20 or clockwise rotation switch S21 on the
control panel you generate the signal LL. This signal travels through PCB B100 and PCB B104 to PCB B103 in
the monitor assembly. The direction control logic on this PCB activates the appropriate direction relay. The acti-
vation of either relay allows +12VDC to energize the monitor rotation motor.
When you press right monitor counterclockwise rotation switch S23 or clockwise rotation switch S24 on the
control panel you generate the signal RR. This signal travels through PCB B100 and PCB B104 to PCB B103
in the monitor assembly. The direction control logic on this PCB activates the appropriate direction relay. The
activation of either relay allows +12VDC to energize the monitor rotation motor.
COMPACT / SERIES 7600 Imaging System Service Manual - Theory of Operation

Hard Copy Camera:


Series:
When you press the printer switch, S50, on the workstation control panel you create the Key Doku signal. This
signal travels to PCB B108 where it energizes the camera collimator control logic. This logic will energize either
relay K1 or K2 located on PCB B108 depending on your camera capability. If you have a single image camera
you will only have one collimator, M1. If you have a dual image camera you will have collimators M1 and M2. K1
controls M1 and K2 controls M2. The +12v relay control voltage and the +5v collimator motor voltage come
from PCB B117. The Key Doku signal also turns on the camera monitor to display the left monitor image. The
collimator control logic consisting of U1, U2 and U3 opens the collimator. The camera provides the
+VSYNCHRON pulses that feed the PCB B108 counter. Once the image parameters occur the counter signals
the collimator control logic to close the collimator and terminating the film exposure.
A dual image camera must also be properly jumpered to operate correctly. J2, J9 and J10 located on PCB
B108 must be in the 2-BILD position. Concurrently, if you have a single image camera these same jumpers
must be in the 1-BILD position.
