Low Battery Charge Messages
Under most circumstances the battery condition is never a problem. It is possible
however, that during periods of heavy use some consideration must be made to allow
adequate recharging time. The messages listed below will be displayed on the X-ray
control panel fluorescent display if a battery condition error is sensed.
MESSAGE DESCRIPTION
70 PCT
CHARGE
50 PCT
CHARGE
When the batteries are reduced to 70 percent of their
effective charge a warning message will appear on the
control panel display.
The message "70 PCT CHARGE" will alternate with the
displayed technique.
If the effective charge drops to 50 percent, the display will
alternate the message "50 PCT CHARGE." Film exposures
are disabled.

Error Messages During Operation
Error messages will be displayed on the X-ray Control Panel when conditions occur which
result in automatic system shutdown or require system servicing.

This error message will appear if the Battery Packs in the
Generator are not connected when the system is powered up.
Connect all Battery Packs and reboot the Generator.
The Battery Charger circuit has failed. If this message
appears during startup, the system cannot be operated. If the
message appears during normal use, the system can still be
operated but the Batteries will not be recharged between
exposures. This message alternates with the technique
display between exposures.
A fault has been detected in the footswitch, X-RAY ON switch,
or associated switch sensing electronics. Results in automatic
shutdown. Occurs only during boot-up.
The precharge cycle has failed which may indicate that the
Batteries are weak. Results in automatic shutdown.
A filament regulator circuit failure has been detected. The
filament supply voltage is outside the desired voltage.
A fault has been detected within the (X-ray Tube) housing
temperature thermistor or its associated circuitry or cables.
Results in automatic shutdown. Occurs only during boot-up.
