4 Installation procedures
WARNING
As C-Arm movement is strong, the device must be installed so that the
operator will not get caught between C-Arm and wall/ table while operating
regular or stereo C-Arm movement. After the installation, check that there are
no obstructions to free C-Arm rotation, also when in parked position. The
movement can also be canceled by pressing one of the emergency buttons or
any button on Diamond unit, except on the Control Panel.
WARNING
Check that counterweight assembly and the counterweight cables are OK so
that the system would not become unbalanced and fall on operator or patient.
4.1 Lifting up the column - minimum 2 people

1 Check that the C-Arm assembly pin is securely attached.
2 Lift the column up smoothly so that the wooden crate base stands up
with the column.
3 Remove the upper column support. Hold the wooden crate base steady.

4 Remove the lower column support.
5 Remove the base of the crate and lay it somewhere where it does not
disturb the rest of installation process.
6 Open up two screws to remove the tube support.
WARNING
Get assistance and be careful when erecting the column. As counterweight
tiles are inserted later, the column is now off the balance.
7 Attach the main switch box on.
CAUTION
Remember to place star washers underneath the bolt to attain proper
grounding.

8 Dispose of the wooden crate and other packaging materials. Recycle

according to country-specific regulations.
The next step is to insert the counterweight tiles as described in the following
chapter.
4.2 Insertion of the counterweight tiles
CAUTION
Check that the assembly pins are inserted through the holes at both sides of
the column and fixed with a bolt.
1 Check that the C-Arm assembly pin is inserted. This will hold the C-
Arm steady while adding counterweight tiles.
WARNING
Do not release the C-Arm assembly pin before it is instructed to do so.
Movement of the uncovered counterweight cage poses risk to fingers.

Fig 4.1. Tiles in the counterweight cage.
Fig 4.2. View from above
2 Slide in counterweight tiles into the counterweight cage one by one. The
longer side of the tile is inserted to the front. Start with the smaller ones
(more space for fingers). Insert the lead weight (painted white) in the
middle of the counterweight stack.
WARNING
Be careful with the fingers.
In order to avoid the tiles from touching the inside of the column, push them
as much forward as possible so that they are tightly lined up against the back
of the counterweight cage.

Fig 4.3. View from aside
3 Plug in Diamond Control Panel and ECS pedal. Refer to Chapter 4.4,
Attachment of the pedals for connection box figure.
4 When all counterweight tiles have been inserted, attach the support rod
that in order to keep the tiles in place. In order to do this, switch on the
unit and then release the C-Arm assembly pin.
NOTE
When the power is switched on, the tube head runs from an upside-down
position to an upright position.
CAUTION
At this stage, the counterweight tiles are not yet secured, but the
counterweight cage can be driven up or down.
WARNING
Do not mechanically force the C-Arm assembly past the vertical movement
sensor pieces in lower and upper parts of the column (on both sides). The
sensors have in this case a very high risk to get broken.
5 Drive the the carriage so that the opening underneath the counterweight
tiles and the screw that secures the lower part of the tile support rod are
in level. Then, loosen up the screw a bit.

CAUTION
Do not loosen up the bolt too much so that it might hinder the movement of
the carriage or drop down between column and the counterweight cage as
into the column.
6 Attach the support rod so that screws align with the slanted side.
7 Slide the support rod in (A) so that the screw does not let it any further.
Then drive the C-Arm so that the slanted side appears (B). Then tighten
up the screw (C) to secure the lower end of the rod.

8 Align the support rod vertically straight. Check that the support rod is
steadily fixed at the lower end and does not move alone, except with the
counterweight cage. Then secure the upper end of the support rod.
9 Run the C-Arm to the lowest and highest position and listen to any
abrasive or scratchy sounds. If any, then rearrange some key tiles that
seem cause the sound.
CAUTION
Check that the counterweight cable is not wrinkled or anyhow damaged and
that it can operate without abrasive contact(s) that may cause serious damage
to cable.
WARNING
The counterweight cover hatch is instructed to be inserted in Chapter 6.6.4.
Meanwhile, the area will remain open so be very careful that no one has his/
her fingers there when various movements are done to check for noises.
Transportation wheels can be installed in case the Diamond unit needs to be

moved to another location.
10 Insert the bolt to the base plate and tighten up a bit. Later on, if
necessary, the bolt can be tightened or slackened with a screwdriver
(right image).

11 Roll the nut all the way down.
12 Attach the rod and lift up the base plate by tightening up the nut-bolt
connection.
NOTE
Lift the base plate evenly up. Do not tighten up one nut all the way before
starting with the next one.
13 When all four nuts have been fixed, the base plate with Diamond unit is
ready for local transportation. After the final location for the Diamond
has been determined and the unit positioned there, repeat steps 1-15 in
reverse order and slackening instead of tightening.

14 If the floor surface is not level, adjust with a support piece with a
screwdriver. Then attach the plastic cover piece. Diamond base plate can
be adjusted at each corner.
4.3 Installation of the control panel

Diamond control panel can be attached to both side of the radiation shield or
onto the wall.
4.3.1 Wall installation

1 Check that the unit is switched off.
2 Slide the control panel cord through the opening in the counterpiece.
The other end of the cable has a black control panel rest with a hole. Lay
the rest on the round end of support rod.
3 Place a lock piece in place and secure the rest support with two screws,
but leave some slack so that the control panel can be adjusted for angle.

4 Lay the cord into notch and secure the base plate to the wall with two
screws.
5 Slide the rest piece into lower end of the opening of the control panel.
Then slide the control panel downwards until it fastens up and will not
go any further. Be careful, so that the control panel would not fall off as
it is not yet steady.
6 Adjust the position of the control panel. When the required angle has
been found, secure lock piece tightly.

7 Plug in the control panel cord to Diamond (at the back of the Diamond
column). The control panel is now ready for use (after the power
switched on after completion of all other installation work).

4.3.2 Left-hand installation

1 Check that the unit is switched off.
2 Slide in support blocks (to both ends) that are used to fasten the control
panel support plate.
Note that these blocks are not of rectangular shape. For left-hand installation
the block should lean on left. Secure the blocks with screws.
3 Insert the control panel cord through the opening in the counterpiece.
Then insert the moving block so that the thicker section (between the
arrow and the line in the right image below) points to the same direction
as the support blocks.
4 Insert two screws through holes aside. Tighten up a bit so that the screws
enter the holes in the moving block and start pulling it towards the side.
This keeps the block steady until it is secured to the radiation shield. The
other end of the cable has a black control panel rest with a hole. Lay the
rest on the round end of support rod.

5 Place a lock piece in place and secure the rest support with two screws,
but leave some slack so that the control panel can be adjusted for angle.
6 Lay the cord into notch, align the control panel base plate with the
groove in the radiation shield column. Adjust for the height, then secure
the base plate with two screws that force the piece in the middle of the
base plate to the radiation shield. Check that the base plate is steadily
fixed to bear the weight of the control panel.
7 Slide the rest piece into lower end of the opening of the control panel.
Then slide the control panel downwards until it fastens up and will not
go any further. Be careful, so that the control panel would not fall off as
it is not yet steady.

8 Adjust the position of the control panel and then tighten up the screws
that secure the lock piece.
9 Plug in the control panel cord to Diamond (at the back of the Diamond
column).
10 The control panel is now ready for use (after the power switched on after
completion of all other installation work).
4.3.3 Right-hand installation
Perform same procedures as in previous chapter, but support blocks (step 2)

and the thicker section of the moving block (step 3) should point to the right.
Then, insert the two screws (step 4) from the other side.
4.4 Attachment of the pedals

Attach the cables of the two pedals to the connection box on the back of the
column. See figure below. Fig 4.4. Control panel
attached
WARNING
Place the pedals so that the patient is not likely to press pedals while
positioned for imaging. Advice also the customer about this.

6 Delta 32 port
7 Warning light port
Fig 4.5. Connectors for the pedals

5 Testing the control functions

1 In order to test the system, insert the emergency stop button override
(plastic piece with red cable) in place.
WARNING
Remember to unplug the override piece when you finish with the system
checking. When the override piece is not used, it hangs on a ponduit.
WARNING
Bear in mind that the emergency stop buttons are now inoperational. In case
an emergency stop is necessary, use the user power switch or the mains
switch at the back of the unit.
2 Check that the circuit breaker in the back of system is in the ON

position.
3 Switch power ON with the main power switch in the front. When
turning on the system, the tube head should move forward, the
diaphragm blades are driven their whole traveling distance and the
cassette tray inside the bucky drives to the front and back.
The control panel should give the following indications:
ready light: ON density display: +0

x-ray light: OFF mGy display: 0
timer display: 0 Auto Point light: ON
kV display: 25 Mode light: Auto-kV
mAs display: --- Filter light: Mo
Also, when turning on the system, the Diamond LCD screen displays the
current software version installed into the unit.
CAUTION
Do not press the exposure button until all necessary calibrations are
performed.

4 With the kV+ and kV- buttons, increase kV to 35, decrease to 23 kV, and
then return to the default kV setting.
5 With the density+ and density- buttons, increase density to +7, decrease
to -7 and then return the setting to 0.
6 Change the filter and notice that the filter does change from
molybdenum to rhodium. Notice that the timer display changes from
Mo to Rh. Select molybdenum (Mo) filter.
7 Push the Mode selector key (32) until the manual mode is entered, the
AutoPoint light (if active) and density display are switched off and the
mAs display will indicate 16 mAs. Also the detector lights on
compression arm are switched off.
8 Select 25 kV. With the mAs+ and mAs-buttons, increase the mAs value
to 500 and then decrease the display back down to 80.
NOTE
Press the vertical drive control down and remove the assembly pin.
9 Drive the C-arm to CC and verify that it stops at 0°. If not, then refer to
Diamond Service Manual (86502) for instructions.
10 Test that the C-Arm moves nicely down and up in CC and LAT
positions. Verify also that up and down movements of the carriage start
slowly and then speed up as the switch is held down. If not, check that
the counterweight tiles are inserted correct and causing no friction.
Check also that 4 rollers in carriage running in column groove are
correctly adjusted.
WARNING
Do not mechanically force the C-Arm assembly past the vertical movement
sensor pieces in lower and upper parts of the column (on both sides). The
sensors have in this case a very high risk to get broken.
11 Press the REL-footpedal to drive the ECS-mechanism to its home

position and the compression paddle to its maximum opening. At the
maximum opening the compression force reading is zeroed. Otherwise,
if the reading is non-zero, the system will give an audible warning, an
error message and refuses to turn the C-Arm.
12 Test both pedals for compression adjustment. Check that the
compression paddle stops automatically after a pressure of
approximately 200N (45 lbs) is reached. If not, refer to Chapter 7.2.6.1,
The mechanical compression limit or Chapter 7.2.6.2, Electrical
compression force limits and speeds.

13 Check that the breast thickness display and the compression force
changes when driving the compression down.
14 Check that the field light is switched ON when the ‘down’ pedal is
pushed and goes OFF automatically after approximately 40 seconds.
15 Drive the tube head into the front position and verify that the field light
is automatically turned on.
16 Small and large Buckies are delivered with grid block that prevents
movement of the grid during transportation from manufacturer to
customer. Remove the grid block from both Buckies before inserting
them to Diamond.
17 Insert a small bucky and check that the Bucky 18x24 appears on the
LCD display. If not, check that the sensors are sensitive enough and that
the magnet is located at the right place.
18 Repeat previous step for large Bucky, magnification tunnel (with all
magnification factors), small and large paddle.
19 Check with both Diamond buckies and magnification tunnel that they
recognize the customer’s cassettes. If not, adjust from sense
potentiometer on Casopto Board.
20 Check that the cassettes move to the front and back correct. If not, check
that there is no friction is cassette tray movement. Try this also in CC
and LAT positions.
21 Turn the C-Arm and check that the reading in the angle display on the C-
Arm changes.
22 Set C-arm rotation speed offset value at 3 in service program PrE02,
drive the C-arm between LAT-positions and check that it slows down as
it approaches CC-position. After CC-position it will ramp up speed.
After the check, restore the previous speed offset value.
23 For proper filtration, check that the filter is in place and moves when
filter selection is changed.


6 Start-up procedures
Turn the power OFF from the main power switch.
CAUTION
The purpose of this procedure is to ensure that before applying full power to
the generator, all vital signals and adjustments are correct. Use large focus.
6.1 Checking the cassette holders

Install a Bucky for normal film/screen imaging. Notice two cassette types:
DIN standard or Darkroom. Diamond has been designed to use DIN standard
cassettes.
Fig 6.1. Patient identification window in a DIN standard cassette allows the use of Alpha ID
II or other identification system to print the patient data onto the film.
Darkroom cassettes (242x195x19mm for 18x24 and 305x242x19mm for

24x30) are not manufactured anymore.

6.2 Powering up
Turn the unit ON from the mains switch (16). The following screen should
appear:
Fig 6.2. Diamond Control Panel
Check that the POWER Board LEDs H1, H4, H6, H10, H13, H16 are lit (6
pcs), on the GENERATOR Board LEDs H1, H2 and H3 are lit.
6.3 Anode run voltage check

1 Disable the radiation as instructed in section 7.5, Disabling x-rays.
NOTE
All testing should be performed in the service mode. Use manual exposure
values and service diaphragm.
WARNING
AMD Board has floating ground of 230 volts.
2 Make an exposure. After the exposure check that the anode motor plate
stops running (listen to the sound of the rotating anode) and that no error
messages are displayed on Control Panel LCD-screen.
If this is not the case, perform step 3.

3 Press exposure button to run the anode and make an exposure.
Immediately after pressing the exposure button, the testpoints TP1 and TP2
located at the edge of the AMD board (X4 pin 2 and X5 pin 2) show voltage
of 230V. With a true RMS (Digital Volt Meter) the readout should be 20-
30Vac (around 30Vac with a non-true RMS meter) after 1.5 seconds (run
voltage).
If not, adjust the anode running voltage with trimmer potentiometer R100.

6.4 kV-regulation check
WARNING
X-rays!
Measuring from the x-ray (primary method)
kV is set at the factory. For calibration use calibrate meter, which measures
from x-ray. Unfors, RTI, PMX-I/M or similar can be used in calibration.
Oscilloscope connections (secondary method)

1 Insert the service diaphragm.
2 Connect the oscilloscope probe on the GENERATOR Board to test point
TP20 (KVFB) and ground of the scope to TP23. Refer to Figure 2.7 for
testpoint locations.
Checking kV using DVM or oscilloscope

1 Set the unit to 28kV and 100 mAs (To get longer exposure time, increase
mAs.

2 Make sure that the exposure is long enough for the DVM reading to
stabilize). One volt is equal to 10 kV. Testpoint TP20 should have a
reading of 2.8V ±0.15V. If not, adjust from trimmer potentiometer R68.

6.5 Preheat and ma-regulation check

6.5.1 Measuring the preheat values
1 Switch to service mode.
2 Connect the oscilloscope probe on the GENERATOR Board to test point
TP21 (MAFB) and ground of the scope to TP23. Refer to Figure 2.7 for
testpoint locations.
3 Set the oscilloscope to 1V/div and 20ms/div. Set the trigger to app. +1V
/ positive edge (storage mode).
4 Preheat and compensation values can be changed in service program Pr
I (subprograms 0-5).
5 Turn ON the unit. For fast check, test the unit with 27kV and 16-40 mAs
(large focus).
NOTE
Preheat setting can be set separately for every kV and both focus sizes.
Preheat values all kVs/focuses have been set at the manufacturer before
shipment.
WARNING
X-rays!
6 Make an exposure and check the waveform (compate to preheat charts

below).
6.5.2 Preheat charts
Fig 6.5. Correct preheat

Fig 6.6. Preheat rises too fast “Overshoot”
Fig 6.7. Preheat rises too slow
6.5.3 Adjusting the preheat and mA-values
For large focus adjustment check that bucky or cassette holder is on. For
small focus adjustment, check that the magnification tunnel is attached.
If the preheat/mA-waveform contains either over- or undershoot at the start-

up, enter the Preheat compensation program PrI04 (large focus) or PrI05
(small focus) to obtain correct waveform. Adjustment instructions are
included in the Diamond Service Manual section 3.11, Generator.
CAUTION
Too slow a rise time will result in an error message.

6.6 Attaching the covers

6.6.1 Installation of the tube head cover
6.6.1.1 Checking the optoswitches
Check that ParkBack optoswitches are intact. ParkBack movement is

detrimentally affected if any of those is bent.
6.6.1.2 Attaching top tube head cover

1 Attach the cord. Plug it in so that the metal pin plates face outward,
towards the serviceman. Be careful that the cord would get wrinkled
between the X-ray tube and the tube head cover.
CAUTION
If the connector is attached the wrong way, not only the buttons will not
work, but also the system is at risk of getting damaged.
2 Lower the rear end of the top cover (A). Then, lay down the front part
smoothly on the lower cover (aligns between the align piece and the
edge of the top cover (B)). Check that top cover lies smoothly (C) before
securing it.

3 Secure the top cover with a hex pin driver. If the screw holes of the top
tube head do not match with the support inside the cover around the X-
ray tube (e.g. if something has bent the support), lift up the top cover and
adjust the support so that the holes align again.
6.6.2 Left side cover

1 Align the left side cover with the carriage and attach it with screws.
2 Secure the frame.

6.6.3 Right clam shell cover
WARNING
Remember to unplug the override piece when you finish with the system
checking.
1 Connect the emergency stop cable coming from the left clam shell to the
one on the right clam shell. Make sure that the cable is well in place and
during movement such as the ECS, does not get caught in any of the
mechanical parts of the system.
2 Plug the emergency stop cable into the X15 on Power Board. Push it in
all the way until it locks up.
NOTE
Mechanical wear transforms the structure of the grease used in C-arm
rotation system to slightly more liquid and this physical phenomenon may
produce an oil drip inside, on the bottom of the clam shell. Although this drip
does not affect the operation of the unit, the right clam shell contains a patch
that captures the drip.

3 Align openings of the clam shell with the carriage and secure it.
4 Secure the clam shells at the top.

6.6.4 Attaching the counterweight protection sheet

1 Attach the protective sheet covering the moving counterweight. Place
the plate so that the three holes are located in upper half of the of the
plate (white triangle in the image).
2 Secure the plate at the top and the bottom, but leave out one screw
(circled).
3 Attach the cable guide bar as demonstrated in the pictures below. The
same screw fixes the upper part of the cable support bar and the right,
upper part of the counterweight cover sheet.
4 Before attaching the back cover, pass the power cord through the rear
box opening.
5 Attach the back cover on.

6 Secure with star washers to obtain proper grounding.


7 Checklist prior to use

7.1 Initial settings
Refer to software block diagrams in the Appendix section of this manual.
7.1.1 Date/Time (normal mode)
Enter the SETUP-mode in Menu screen:
Then, enter the SETUP-screen:
Choose the -Date/Time-option:
Set the correct time and time, then Exit the screen by pressing the SET-key.
The screen returns to Setup-screen. Set the hospital information next.
7.1.2 Using service mode interface

Entering the service mode
You can enter into the service mode by pressing kV- and Den-buttons down
simultaneously for 3 seconds until the LCD-display shows the word
SERVICE.
Exiting the service mode
You can exit the service mode by pressing kV- and Den-buttons down
simultaneously for 3 seconds.

7.1.3 Physicist mode
Diamond software incorporates a service program L: Physicist to facilitate

the testing of various settings and collimation combinations. The following
can be tested:
Grid Grid movement may be turned on or off.

Focus Small focus selection drives front plate in front position.
Large focus selection drives front plate in rear position.
Paddle Select the type of paddle and collimator drives plates
accoring to paddle collimation settings.
Holder Select the type of cassette holder and collimator drives plates
according to holder collimation setting. If no holder is
attached, then collimator plates are wide open.
kV limits When the kV limit is set off, any kV value from 15 to 39 kV
can be used in manual mode
Physicist mode collimation settings for paddle and holder do not override the
actual setting for the holder. For example, if you have attached a small bucky
and you select large bucky and paddle from Physicist Set-Up, collimation is
what is defined for small bucky. Collimation works the same way as in
PaddleLogic so that the smaller field overrides the bigger one.
NOTE
Any changes made in the physicist mode settings are not stored and the
system default settings are restored when you exit the service mode.
7.1.4 Printer/Port setup
Enter into the service mode by pressing kV- and Den-buttons down
simultaneously. Then check for and adjust various system settings in service
program A:System Setup/Communication setup (PrA02).
1 Connect a matrix printer or a PC/Laptop to the COM1 serial port.

2 Set the correct parameters.
The serial connection is an ordinary asynchronous receiver/transmitter (RS-

232). The serial port is initialized in Diamond as follows:
– 1200 baud if printer is connected

– 8, N, 2 (8 databits, No parity [always 0], 2 stop bits)
The effect of the ‘no parity bit’ and the stop bit is a total of three stop bits, so
receiving end must be configured correspondingly.
Port baud rates

• COM 1 (bram, aecdump etc.): 19200
• COM 2 (alpha ID): 1200

7.1.5 Connecting film marker (ID II) to Diamond unit
ID II film marking or label printing is connected to COM2 serial port. Use the
cable that is supplied with Diamond. For data input, refer to ID II User’s
Manual (1462 B), Chapter 2, Customizing the label.
The printed label displays the following information:
7.2 Check items

In case of normal service or maintenance: All required checks, alignments
and adjustments must be performed, if necessary. See additional information
about the tests in Service Manual.
7.2.1 Light field intensity
The light intensity is adjusted in the service program PrF03. If adjustment is

necessary, a lux-meter is recommended for exact adjustment.
Adjust the light intensity at the top of a cassette holder centers of the 4
quadrants to a minimum average of 160 LUX (ISLC’s). Take note of the
effect of the examination room lighting unless it can be totally switched off.
Outside USA, if a LUX meter is not available, set the collimator lamp
voltage to 11 -11.5 VDC, measured at the Collimator board TP9 to TP12 or at
conductor stands (marked by arrows in the image below).
The halogen lamp lifetime increases when voltage is decreased and vice
versa.

Fig 7.1. Collimator board
WARNING
Check that the mirror or lamp in the collimator has not been damaged during
transportation and can be used.
7.2.2 X-ray field alignment
In the service mode, select the manual mode with 25 kV and 20 mAs.
Place a loaded cassette on top of the cassette holder so that the cassette
overhangs 20 mm on the chest wall edge of the holder.

Mark the chest wall edge of the film with a ruler placed 20 mm back from the
chest wall edge of the film. (The ruler now shows the actual chest wall edge).
Make an exposure and develop the film. The exposed area between the ruler
and the chest wall edge of the film must be less than 6 mm and more than 1
mm in USA, less than 3 mm and more than 0 mm in Europe.
Adjustment of the x-ray field

1 Adjustment screw regulates the front edge of x-ray field
2 Collimator rear plate and side plates regulate side and rear edges of the
x-ray field. Refer to Diamond Service Manual and readjust the values
for step motor movements in service programs PrF01 and PrF02.
Check separately for each cassette holder (little Bucky, large Bucky,
Magnification, Contact etc.)

7.2.3 Light field alignment
The x-ray field adjustment must be checked and aligned prior to the light
field alignment. Place a loaded cassette in the holder and position the
corresponding diaphragm.
Enter the service mode by pressing the kV- and density- buttons
simultaneously and holding them the service screen appears.
Select manual mode at 25 kV and 20 mAs.
1 Place a sheet of white paper on the cassette holder so that the light field
can be seen clearly.
2 Drive the tube head forward to turn on the field light.
3 Place some coins at the corners of the illuminated area on the cassette
holder.
4 Make an exposure and develop the film.
The coins outlined on the film should not be more than 5 mm out of the
exposed field and sum of misalignments on opposite sides not more than 10
mm.
If the light field needs adjustment, refer to Diamond Service Manual (86502).
7.2.4 Compression paddle adjustment
The connection between the compression paddle acrylic and the paddle
holder may be adjusted with 1mm/2mm shim plates. Regular paddle (A) and
spot magnification (B) and sizes (1mm/2mm) of the shim plates are available.

7.2.5 Film processor evaluation
Test equipment requirement: Sensitometer, Densitometer
1 Turn ON the film processor and let it warm up for at least half an hour.
2 Run a clean-up film through the processor. This is just a piece of regular
film, which will pick up dirt, etc., which would appear on your film.
3 Obtain a sheet of the same film type to be used in your Diamond. Select
the color on the sensitometer that matches the color emitted by the
intensifying screen used.
4 Ensure that the emulsion side of the film is towards the light source on
the sensitometer. Expose the two opposite long edges of the film,
waiting 10 seconds between exposures, and run it through the processor.
5 Measure the film density with densitometer from the unexposed part of
film. This is the base fog and O.D. should be less than 0.20.
NOTE
Always run the film through the processor in the same orientation and
location.
6 Find the step, which has the density closest to 1.0. This step number is
the SPEED INDEX. Record the average density and step number on the
film and in tables below.
7 Proceed one step above and one step below the step of Speed Index.
Measure and record both densities.
8 Subtract the density value of the step below, from the density value of
the step above the speed index step. This result is the CONTRAST
INDEX. Record this on the film and in tables below.
Mark the DATE on this file for future reference.

Table 7.1 Film processor evaluation
Notice that the typical values depend on the film/screen combination and
consult the corresponding manufacturer’s instructions.

7.2.6 C-arm angle display calibration
Run C-Arm to various angles and verify if the angles are correct. If not, enter
the service program PrE01 and calibrate the C-Arm angle:
1 Drive the C-arm to 180°-angle with manual rotation keys.

2 Press Accept-key.
3 The C-Arm drives to 0°-calibration.
4 In case the calibration succeeded, the screen returns to E: C-arm
rotation.
If the calibration is successfully performed, the LCD screen then indicates

‘Pass’.
In case the calibration was not successful, the LCD screen then indicates
‘Fail’.
5 Repeat the calibration procedure.

6 If the calibration still was not successful, drive the C-Arm to from 180°
to 0° and then to 180° on the other side. When C-Arm passes the 0° it
helps to calibrate.
7.2.7 C-arm autodrive and paddle up function
Automatic drive to pre-programmed projections can be disabled or set to

operate only when the compression is at home position (at upper
microswitch). Enter the service program PrE04 and set the autodrive
functions according to user preferences and as allowed by the country-
specific regulations.
C-arm rotation autodrive - PrE04

Parameter Range Notes
Autodrive On When the C-arm drive button is pressed
once, the C-arm drives to pre-
programmed projection. This function is
disabled with biopsy paddles.
Off The C-arm drive button has to be pressed
down all the time until the C-arm angle is
reached.
Pdl_up Automatic drive is disabled unless the
compression is at home position.
NOTE
The C-arm rotation in autodrive mode is also disabled without any paddle, so
paddle (except a biopsy paddle) must be attached before running C-arm.
Remind also the customer about this feature.
Mirror angle
If country-specific regulations allow the mirror angle feature (PrE03), ask

whether the customer wants to enable it.

7.2.8 Compression force display calibration
Check with bathroom scale that if the compression force display values are
correct. If not, enter the service program PrG04 and calibrate the compression
force display:
1 With no compression at all, set the 0N force with the Accept-key.

2 With the bathroom scale, compress to 200N and press Accept-key.
3 In case the calibration succeeded, the screen returns to G: Compression
force.
4 In case the calibration was unsuccessful, the system asks to repeat the
calibration procedure.
7.2.8.1 The mechanical compression limit
In order to prevent excessive compression on the breast, the mechanical

compression limit can be adjusted clutch can adjusted by mechanical clutch
adjustment screw. Check first with a bathroom scale if the mechanical
compression limit conforms to the regulations in your country.
NOTE
The maximum manual (mechanical) compression force must not exceed
300N by IEC-standard.
If the mechanical compression limit needs adjustment, refer to Diamond

Service Manual (86502), Chapter, 6.4.11, Adjustment of the mechanical
compression limit.
7.2.8.2 Electrical compression force limits and speeds
Diamond incorporates 6 electrical compression force limit steps that may be

adjusted in service program PrG05. These steps are the ones that user can
select at C-Arm control panel.
NOTE
The maximum motorized (electrical) compression force is limited to 200N by
IEC-standard.
Also the compression speeds may be adjusted in service program PrG01.

7.2.9 Compression thickness display calibration

1 Check the thickness display at 4cm with different compression paddles.
2 When the calibration is performed at some specific force, it forces the
compression arm to move past the horizontal line in relation to the upper
surface of the acrylic (the long dark gray bar).
In order to achieve a proper thickness for clinical use, Diamond allows ±

50mm extra movement past the horizontal level in relation to the acrylic. This
compression thickness is separately calibrated for each paddle (PrG02) and
holder (PrG03) in service programs. Use proper (70N) compression with the
acrylics.
3 Different compression paddles have the surface at different height that

applies the compression to the breast.
Diamond recognizes various paddles, but if necessary, the height differences

can be compensated in service program PrG03.
7.2.10 kV, mAs and exposure time test
If it becomes necessary to test kV, mAs and exposure time, refer to Diamond
Service Manual, Chapter 5.1.6, kV, mAs and exposure time test.
7.2.11 Grid alignment
The grid is aligned and tested at the factory and should normally not be
adjusted at the site. In case of grid lines, however, it is recommended to test
the grid movement with short exposures. If alignment is necessary, however,
follow the grid alignment instructions in Diamond Service Manual (86502).
7.2.12 Voltage check
The internal voltages can be checked according to the list in Diamond Service
Manual (86502), Chapter 4.13, Fuses and voltages.

7.2.13 IQC calibration

1 The IQC mode may be switched on in service program PrB05. Set QA-
mode as Exp.
This measures the dose based on the exposure, not on a sensitometer. Default
values are 28 kV with Molybdenum filter.
2 Adjust filter and kV values for QA in PrB05, if necessary. Some past

QA-coefficients are stored in service program PrD07.
For more information on IQC, refer to Diamond Operation Instructions

(86500).
7.3 AEC adjustment

Check the AEC operation before handing the unit over to the customer.
Tables provided within chapters or an AEC calibration table in appendices
can be used to record changes in settings and resulted O.D. values.
Test equipment needed: Sensitometer, Densitometer, Acrylic blocks, Film &

Cassette. Attach the bucky device.
Enter into the service mode by pressing kV- and Den- buttons down
simultaneously for 3 seconds.
7.3.1 Quick AEC test
Testing procedure:
1 Attach the cassette holder.

2 Position, for example, an acrylic plate carefully so that it covers the
AEC detector.
3 Select such a kV that will produce the clinically suitable optical density
at 4cm thickness.
4 Make an exposure using the Auto Time-mode using C1 detector.
5 Develop the film.
6 Measure the film density. If the density is not what you wish it to be,
reprogramming of AEC using densitometer is recommended, but record
system settings before changing anything.
NOTE
Carry out this test once a week using the same procedure all the time.
7.3.2 Recording the system settings
The system settings can be exported in hexadecimal format and can be

viewed and stored in Windows Hyperterminal. For HyperTerminal properties
setting and about how to capture, refer to Diamond Service Manual (86502).
7.3.3 Basic adjustment
The gain adjustment affects the operation of the Diamond detectors. One
detector (C1) acts as a benchmark and it is adjusted first. Then the other

detectors are adjusted to equalize the output of all detectors in relation to C1.
The graph below describes the detector numbers. It is useful to know the
detector numbers when the exposure data is examined through hyperterminal.

Fig 7.2. Diamond detectors
1 Ask the customer how dark images they want. Light images have less
information and modern viewboxes can display dark images better than
before. Typical O.D. values are for example 1.4-1.6
2 Enter the service program PrD02 and check that the overall AEC gain
parameter ‘g’ is set to 1.00. (In order to start from the very beginning,
the thickness compensation and kV compensation values can be set to 0
and r1, r2 and detector-specific values to 1.)
3 Make an exposure in Auto Time mode using the clinically typical kV
(e.g. 28kV) with a Molybdenum filter and a 40 mm acrylic. Use a
standard compression paddle and a Bucky with a loaded cassette in it.
Detector C1 must be used. Also, remember to place the white plastic
cover before exposure, if that has been removed for some reason.

4 Develop the film and mark the optical density of the film (=O.D) to the
graph next page. The higher the O.D., the darker the image and vice
versa.
5 Alter the AEC Gain parameter ‘g’ in the service program PrD02 to 1.10
(10 % increase), reload the cassette with a new film and make a new
exposure. Develop the film and mark the optical density of the film
(=O.D) to the graph below.

6 Draw a line between the two points and read the corresponding GAIN
for the wanted optical density (greater O.D. values correspond to darker
images). Notice that the object is to find the right gain, so the initial gain
value does not have to be 1.00. For example, if 1.00 falls below and 1.10
surpasses the desired O.D., then the correct gain should be some value
in-between. Draw new lines and estimate the correct gain.
7 Alter the AEC Gain parameter ‘g’ in the service program PrD02) to
obtain the desired O.D. (for example 1.6). Diminishing ‘g’ will increase
the O.D. and vice versa.
8 Make one control exposure with Auto Time-mode the clinical kV (e.g.
26kV) Molybdenum filter with 40 mm acrylic and measure the O.D. to
check the adjustment. Make note of the exposure time for the thickness
compensation in Chapter 7.3.6.
Exposure time ________________
9 Set target O.D. (the same as in step 7) in service program PrD01.
7.3.4 Automatic AEC detector gain adjustment
In case the values for individual detectors must be adjusted, follow the
instructions in Diamond Service Manual (86502), Chapter, 5.2.3, Automatic
AEC detector gain adjustment.
Checking optical densities for each film type
Every detector should be checked and adjusted to each film. Films can be
different.
1 Make an exposure with a small bucky at clinical kV (for example 28kV)

and 40mm acrylic.
2 Develop the film.
3 Place the film on the AEC detector location figure (included in the
appendices).
4 Draw detector ellipse on the film and mark its name next to it (not inside
of it).
5 Measure a detector-specific optical density in the middle of the ellipse
and write it next to the ellipse name.
For example the detector C4 would have the following notations (x marks the
O.D. reading):

6 If the acquired O.D. is not within the limits, adjust the values as
instructed in Diamond Service Manual (86502), Chapter 5.2.4,
Adjustment of an individual detector.
7.3.5 Object thickness compensation
Object thickness compensation adjusts linearity that affects the curve form
1 Make three exposures with different phantom thicknesses (for example

20mm, 40mm, 60mm to get short, medium and long exposure time) and
record the corresponding exposure times and O.D:s. Recommended
exposure times would be appr. 500ms, 1sec and 2 second exposures
respectively.
2 Use the clinically typical kV (e.g. 26kV) and Auto Time-mode for all
exposures.
3 Measure the optical density for both molybdenum and rhodium filter.
Plot the values in tables below.

4 Mark the points to the O.D vs. exposure time graph. Draw a line through
the three points. They should form a horizontal line within ±0.15 O.D.
O.D. values within the limits
If the O.D. values for 20mm, 40mm and 60mm thicknesses fall within these
limits, no thickness compensation is required.

For example, if O.D. for 40mm thickness is 1.6, other O.D. values (for 20mm
and 60mm thicknesses) should fall between 1.45 and 1.75. If not, then
adjustment is required.
O.D. values off the limits
If the optical density with 20mm acrylic or 60mm acrylic are different than
the optical density with than 40 mm acrylic, then thickness compensation
parameters have to be adjusted as instructed in next chapter.
7.3.6 Thickness compensation
The optical density can be adjusted

by thickness specific compensation
parameters which affect the the
exposure by increasing or decreasing
the exposure time for a specific
thickness value. Curves can be of
various shapes (graph in the right).
The graph below is a representation

of one type curve, which is adjusted
to exemplary target O.D. of 1.6. Adjust the O.D. according to customer’s
desires.

1 If the O.D. at thickness of 4cm is at target, then proceed to next step. If

not, adjust the parameter ‘g’ (instructions in Chapter 7.3.3, Basic adjust-
ment) so that you obtain the required O.D. at 4cm.
Values from the O.D. vs. exposure time graph in previous chapter
2 Look for the exposure time with which the required O.D. with 40mm
acrylic was obtained (in Chapter 7.3.3). Write this time on the line
below or to the AEC Calibration table in the Appendix section:
Exposure time = This value is ‘ P’.
3 Look for the O.D. for the shorter exposure time (for example the 20 mm
Acrylic exposure time). Divide the required O.D. with this value. This
value will provide the direction of the adjustment. Test always for exact
values, because the film, processors and processing conditions vary.
This value is 'r1'.
4 Look for the O.D. for the longer exposure time (for example the 60 mm
Acrylic exposure time). Divide the required O.D. with this value.
This value is 'r2'.
5 Enter the service program PrD03 and choose Thickness compensation.

6 Press the Next-key on until the ‘P’ for ‘rotation Point’ appears in screen,
then scroll Up or Down to set the exposure time which has the correct
O.D. from the calculation performed above. This is the exposure time,
which is not affected by thickness compensation (=the rotation point).
When the parameter is set, proceed to set other parameters.
7 Press the Next-key on until the ‘r1’ appears in screen, then scroll Up or
Down to set up the ‘r1’ parameter. This parameter gives the amount of
rotation at exposure times shorter than the rotation point ‘P’. For
example if the short exposure has 12% too dark, a density enter 0.88 for
‘r1’.
8 Press the Next-key on until the ‘r2’ appears in screen, then scroll up or
down up to set up the ‘r2’ parameter. This parameter gives the amount
of rotation at exposure times longer than the rotation point ‘P’. For
example, if the long exposure has 12% too light a density enter 1.12 for
‘r2’.
9 Check O.D. after changing the ‘r1’ and ‘r2’-parameters. Readjust, if
necessary.
CAUTION
Perform the thickness compensation with both filters (Mo/Rh) and all
cassette tunnels (Bucky/cassette holder/magnification tunnel) separately
(especially the combination that the customer starts to use). DO NOT change
the gain parameter anymore. Adjust the density correction in the service
program PrD03 to bring O.D. to same level with other filter/cassette holder
combinations.

10 Accept and exit the screen by pressing the Set-key.
Fine tuning of the thickness compensation
NOTE
Fine tuning is optional and may only have minor effect to compensation. It is
not necessary to perform if the sensor adjustment for r1 and r2 is available.
1 Return to the service mode and make two exposures with Auto Time-
mode 27kV so that very long exposure time (four times longer than
exposure time for 40 mm Acr = for example 4-5 sec.) and very short
exposure time (3 of exposure time for 40 mm Acr = for example 250-
300 ms) are achieved. Write all exposure data to the AEC Calibration
table in the Appendix section.
2 Develop the films and record the optical density of the films (=O.D).
3 Select the adjustment direction of ‘S1’ (affects the compensation slope
at exposures shorter than rotation point ‘P’, when a very thin breast is
examined) and ‘S2’ (affects the compensation slope at exposures longer
than rotation point ‘P’ when a very thick breast is examined) from the
table below.
TOO LIGHT O.D. TOO DARK O.D.
r1<1 increase S1 decrease S1

r1>1 decrease S1 increase S1
r2<1 decrease S2 increase S2
r2>1 increase S2 decrease S2
Table 7.2 O.D. corrections
‘S1’ and ‘S2’ can have values 0, 50, 100, 150...up to 700. The maximum
compensation is 140% or 60% of O.D. in ‘P’ (rotation Point).
4 Enter the service program PrD03 and choose Thickness compensation.

5 Press the Next-key on until the ‘S1’ appears in screen, then scroll Up or
Down to set up the ‘S1’ parameter. This parameter affects the
compensation slope at exposures much shorter than rotation point ‘P’.
6 Press the Next-key on until the ‘S2’ appears in screen, then scroll Up or
Down to set up the ‘S2’ parameter. This parameter affects the
compensation slope at exposures much longer than rotation point ‘P’.
7 Check O.D. after changing the ‘S1’ and ‘S2’-parameters. Readjust, if
necessary.
8 Accept and exit the screen by pressing the Set-key.

7.3.6.1 Lowering mA for small breasts (from sw 1.02.1 and up)
When small thickesses are used, the O.D. may end up too high. This may
happen if exposure time saturates (exposure time shorter than 0.05s cannot be
achieved with AEC), but tube current can be lowered down to 50% if small
thicknesses are used. Lower mA values can be used with Buckies and AEC
mode only.
If you want to use low mA mode for low thicknesses you need to adjust
preheat values for low mA (LF) as follows:
1 Insert small or large Bucky.

2 Use 4cm acrylic to obtain proper thickness for the adjustment.
3 Enter service program PrD01, AEC setup menu and change “Low mA
limit”-value to 4 cm.
4 In Autotime mode, check that thickness screen displays 4 cm.
5 Enter service program PrI04, Preheat Compensation LF.
6 Select Low mA.
7 Adjust preheat values for kV range of 23 - 35. When oscilloscope is
used, note that the signal level is half than the normal.
8 Enter service program PrD01, AEC setup menu and change “Low mA
limit”-value to thickness level (range 0 cm to 4 cm) at which the use of
lower mA values is activated.
If the limit has been set, for example, at 2 cm, then lower mA values are used
for thicknesses from 0 to 2 cm. If the limit value stands at 0 cm, low mA
mode is inactive.
Diamond compensates automatically for the use of lowered tube current so it

does not affect the target time set-up (Chapter 7.3.9, Target times), however,
target times should be set up with full tube current.

7.3.7 kV compensation
Optical density can also be adjusted by kV specific compensation parameters,

which affect the exposure by increasing or decreasing the exposure time for a
specific kV value.
1 Check the linearity with a couple of control kVs (e.g. low (24kV),
medium (28kV) and high (32kV), using Molybdenum and Rhodium fil-
ter if available). Use Auto Time-mode and thick enough an acrylic to
produce a clinically typical exposure time at each kV (appr. 1 sec.).

2 Mark the received O.Ds for Bucky to the table below. x = molybdenum
filter, o = rhodium filter
3 Mark the received O.Ds for Magnification to the table below. x =

molybdenum filter, o = rhodium filter

4 Connect the received O.D.:s with a line. If the line shows a regular
pattern close to the required O.D. line in that chart (one of the horizontal
lines at regular intervals) then the O.D. is alright. If not, measure optical
density for each kV, using Molybdenum and Rhodium filter if available.
5 Plot the received O.D.:s on the chart and check which ones need
adjustment (graph is for reference only). If the line is not linear, check
all kVs.
6 Enter kV Compensation in service program PrD03.

7 Perform necessary changes for all cassette holder and filter
combinations.
If the required O.D. is for example 1.6 at 26kV and 1.3 at 23kV, increase in
service program PrD03 (23kV selected), the factor to 1.2. Exposure again and

check the O.D. Test every other kV values (...23, 25, 27, 29...) and then
estimate factors for values in between (...24, 26, 28...).
7.3.8 Auto-kV programming
Adjust density compensations for each filter and cassette holder combination
in Auto kV mode. Set the new values in the service program PrD03. Usually
for the user the density step change is 10% or 12%, but in the service program
the step is half of this.

7.3.9 Target times
In Auto-kV mode, Diamond determines whether the calculated exposure time

with the initial kV conforms to target time curve. If the exposure time
(function of compression thickness) is too long or short, Diamond then
increases or decreases the kV value. In order to produce the target exposure
time, Diamond interpolates between two points of the linear target time curve
to find the required kV-value.
If initial kV is badly off, the necessary change in kV might be more than the
kV change limit in service program PrB06 allows. In this case Diamond will
use the kV that is a sum of the initial kV and the maximum allowed change
(+/-) in kV. The initial kV adjustment instructions are in Chapter 7.3.10,
Initial kV tables. The kV change limit can adjusted in service program PrB06.
The curve slope is defined with two thickness points, one at 2cm and another
one at 6cm. Target times can be set in service program PrD05. As the used
target time depends on the country, film and film developer, the parameters
have to adjusted according to local conditions and requirements. For
reference only, some users have used values from 0.4s to 0.5s for lower limit
and from 1.0s to 1.6s for upper limit. If the lower limit is less than 0.2s, the
exposure is too quick and grid lines appear in the image.
The graph below describes how changes in target time limit affect the curve
slope. If the target time limits are set at the maximum values, the result is the
steep curve A. When the lower limit is raised up the and higher limit lowered
down, the curve becomes flatter (B and C) and vice versa.
NOTE
If lowered tube current is used (refer to Chapter 7.3.6.1, Lowering mA for
small breasts), Diamond automatically compensates for it. Select target times
always with full tube current.


7.3.10 Initial kV-tables
The initial kV is the first kV that Diamond uses for a certain thickness. Initial
kV tables can be set in service program PrD06 and the kV change limit in
PrB06. Each cassette holder can have its own Initial kV for various
thicknesses (the same for small and large Bucky). The ideal case would be
that initial kV-values would conform to target time curve values and that
there would no need for kV changes.
1 Expose in Auto kV-mode and check the used kV-values at 2cm, 4cm,
6cm and 8cm thicknesses.
2 In service program PrD06, select Bucky, Magnification or Contact.
3 Scroll through thicknesses (at 0.5cm intervals) and set initial kV for
each one of them. Set the values from step 1 and make a linear estimate
for other thicknesses.

4 Repeat the procedure for each cassette holder and filter combination.
5 Adjust the kV change limit in service program PrB06.
If the initial kV-values are badly off, the target times are not reached because
the required kV change exceeds the adjustment range for kV change limit.
Diamond will make the exposure but the exposure time will be different than
what target time curve suggests. High kV-values tend to reduce contrast, but
it is worthwhile to check if film manufacturer recommends higher initial kV-
values.
7.3.11 Density step feature
Diamond user might want to change of the extent of a change when a density
key of the Diamond Control Panel is pressed. This can be adjusted in service
program PrD03, Densities. The range for increase/decrease steps range from
5% to 20% (values 5 to 20 in PrD03 screen). Default setting is 10% (value
10)

CAUTION
The AEC gain is adjusted for one filter and one cassette holder, normally for
the molybdenum filter and with the bucky. The right optical densities for the
rest of the cassette holders with Molybdenum filter and for all cassette
holders with rhodium filter are done as described in Chapter 7.3.
7.3.13 Printout of system data
Diamond settings (Battery RAM) can be downloaded with a

HyperTerminal(®) by writing bram in command prompt (a sample included
in the appendices).
For AEC and detector-specific data, write param aecdump in the command
prompt and make an exposure.
For instructions on how to use the HyperTerminal(®) refer to Diamond

Service Manual. Settings for hyperterminal software are 19200 bauds, 8 bits,
no parity, 2 stop bits and no handshake.

7.3.14 AutoPoint
AutoPoint feature to select the most appropriate detector(s) and calculate

exposure time is useful in following cases:
– consistent selection of the detector based on actual breast density, not

on visual appearance
– more homogeneous optical densities all over breast image are
generated
– when small breasts are examined
– to compensate for very dense (e.g. muscle) area, if it happens to lay
under the detector selected by Auto Point mode
With software 1.02.1 and up, the AutoPoint-feature uses two detectors (if so
desired). The selection of the detector is adjusted through the Auto Point
Coefficient. Software versions 1.01.3 and older have always used one
detector for this measurement.
NOTE
If detector selection (AutoPoint coefficient < 1.0) is used to increase density
of less dense sections of the image, it will also increase the density of the
most dense areas of the breast.
Parameter settings
A AutoPoint limit value
The Auto Point limit value can be set in service program PrD01 within range
of 50–2500.
The limit adjusts the behavior of the unit on selection of the detector. High
values will make the unit less likely to select a detector under pectoral muscle
(near the chest wall edge), but may select a detector too far if the dense area is
located under C1. Low values may cause the unit to select the detector
covered by pectoral muscle. Value of 700 has proved to be a good
compromise, but this may depend on the local practices (exposure values,
positioning, population).
With software 1.02.1, the default Auto Point limit value stands at 700. In
earlier software versions the range for this value was 700-1500. For small
breasts 700 (default) is recommended

B AutoPoint Coefficient
The AutoPoint Coefficient for each pre-programmed mode can be set in

service programs PrB06-09 within range of 0.5–1.0.
After Diamond has selected the primary detector, it can be used alone to
determine the required exposure or together with a secondary detector. The
coefficient is a figure that defines what percentage of the measurement is
achieved with the primary detector. Value 1.0 corresponds to 100% use of the
primary detector.
Generally a value other than 1.0 (most often 0.7) is recommended only if
users would object to exposing a small dense area of the breast to target O.D.
From software 1.02.1 on, the default AutoPoint Coefficient is 1.0.
Coefficient range Amount measured Amount measured

with the primary with the secondary
detector detector
1.0 100% 0%
0.9 90% 10%
0.8 80% 20%
0.7 70% 30%
0.6 60% 40%
0.5 50% 50%

7.4 Paddle logic

Diamond PaddleLogic feature enables adjustment of the collimation and the
available AutoPoint detectors separately for each paddle (image below for
reference). For a small biopsy paddle the collimation (gray rectangle) can be
adjusted to allow the exposure only to the region of interest: the coordinate
system and the volume available for biopsy. Also the AEC detectors allowed
for AutoPoint can be limited in order to block out detector(s) that is/are
completely outside of metal frame of a paddle of small size. PaddleLogic
detector defaults by paddles are listed at the end of BatteryRAM parameter
defaults in the Appendix section:
Ask whether the customer wants to collimate according to the paddle or to

cassette/paddle types and set the collimation up as wished.
NOTE
Diamond software does not allow the use of the detectors that are not
completely within the collimated X-ray field.
7.4.1 Exact collimation
Diamond detects the paddle and the cassette holder in use. The field size with
different paddle/cassette holder combinations can be checked with the field
light.
Paddle related collimation can be adjusted in service programs PrF01 for rear
plates and in service program PrF02 for side plates. Adjust step values
according to paddle size.
NOTE
If the paddle and the cassette holder suggest different X-ray field sizes,
Diamond will always select the smaller field size.

7.4.2 Detector selection by paddle type
Diamond can select most usable detectors according to the paddle type.
Detectors used with the paddle can be adjusted in service program PrD09,
Paddle Logic. For example certain detectors that are not completely under a
small size paddle can be eliminated from use.
7.5 System customization to user preferences

7.5.1 Pre-programmable modes
Diamond incorporates four pre-programmable modes, which can be selected

according to different situations and needs. The parameters can be set in
service programs PrB06-09. The customizable parameters are:
– Density steps (-7...+7)

– Offset for initial kV in Auto kV mode (-3...+3)
– Target Time (1/2)
– Name (max. 8 characters)
– Auto kV change limit (0-5)
– AutoPoint coefficient (0.50-1.00)
When Diamond is switched on, name of one of the four modes is displayed in
LCD screen of Control Panel. Set the initial mode in service program PrB01.
Note that the modes are numerically listed, so check for the corresponding
PreProg number in service programs PrB06-09.
For more customized use of Diamond, refer to Diamond Service Manual

(86502) that has an extensive list of the screen parameters that can be set by
the service technician.

7.6 Disabling X-rays

The emission of x-rays must be disabled in some cases (for example at
exhibition).
NOTE
The following three items disconnects all power from the generator, but the
system can be still operated. This can be done for example when installing for
an exhibition, where X-rays are not allowed.
7.6.1 Disabling the radiation

1 Turn OFF the unit
2 Unplug connectors X6 and X4 from the GENERATOR Board (a four-
pin connector). J3
3 Unplug X5 of the Power Board
4 Set the jumpers J3, J4 on the GENERATOR Board to 2-3 position [non- J4
default position].
7.6.2 Enabling the radiation

1 Turn OFF the unit
2 Plug in the connectors X6 and X4 onto the GENERATOR Board (a four-
pin connector). J3
