SERVICE MANUAL
Introduction
1.1. Description of the system

The evolution of panoramic X-ray provides, in addition to traditional
methods of examination (Panoramic, TMJ, Sinus, etc.). the use of three-
dimensional images of the patient's maxillofacial complex, so as to allow
the doctor the targeted selection of the procedures to use, both during
the planning phase of the treatment as well as diagnosis aid.
Rotograph EVO 3D, produced by VILLA SISTEMI MEDICALI S.p.A., is a

complete panoramic system that allows the execution of all X-rays
commonly used in dentistry and orthodontics (excluding intraoral
radiographs) and also allows the acquisition of volumetric tomographic or
3D X-rays.
In this type of device, the linear digital sensor traditionally used in the
digital panoramic X-rays has been replaced by a wide range Digital
Sensor, also known as the Flat Panel.
These sensors allow to capture an area of the maxillofacial complex that
include the most important anatomical details, by acquiring a series of
two-dimensional images (imaging).
The following options are available that must be ordered separately:

• EVO XP (Additional projection package); allows to perform the
following examinations: Emi-panoramic, Improved orthogonality
dentition, reduced dose Panoramic and Frontal dentition.
• DIGITAL CEPH; allows the execution of the following exams, available
in High Resolution mode or Normal Resolution (high speed):
- CEPH exam in different formats
- CARPUS exam.

WARNING:
Please read this chapter thoroughly.
Villa Sistemi Medicali designs and builds its devices complying with the
related safety requirements; furthermore it supplies all information
necessary for a correct use and the warnings related to danger associated
with X-rays generating units.
Villa Sistemi Medicali, has not to be held responsible for:
• use of Rotograph EVO 3D different than the intended use,

• damages to the unit, to the operator, to the patient, caused both by
installation and maintenance procedures different than those
described in this Manual and/or by wrong operations,
• mechanical and/or electrical modifications performed during and
after the installation, different than those described in this Manual.
Installation and any technical intervention must only be performed

by qualified technicians authorized by Villa Sistemi Medicali.
Only the authorised personnel can remove the covers and/or have
access to the components under tension.
In compliance with the IEC 60601-1 standard, the modification of

the equipment or its parts is strictly prohibited.

SERVICE MANUAL
Safety information
2.1. Warnings
Rotograph EVO 3D must be used in dental surgeries, radiology and
hospital settings.
This device has not been designed to be used in environments where

vapours, anaesthetic mixtures flammable with air, or oxygen and nitrous
oxide, can be detected.
Do not let water, or other liquids, into the device, as this could cause
short-circuits and corrosion.
Before cleaning the device, please disconnect it from the line voltage.
Wherever necessary, use the appropriate accessories, such as the leaded

aprons, to protect the patient from radiation.
While performing the radiography, no-one, apart from the operator and
the patient, must remain in the room.
Rotograph EVO 3D has been built to support a continuous operation at

intermittent load; therefore please follow the described use cycles to
enable the device to cool down.
Rotograph EVO 3D must be switched off while using devices such as

electrosurgical devices or similar apparatus.
Clean and disinfect all parts that come into contact with the patient.
The centring bite or the bite protective sleeve, the head strip for 3D
examinations and the ear centring devices of the Cephalostat must
be replaced after each examination in which they were used.
Never try to rotate the moving arm manually when the unit is
switched on, to avoid permanent damage to the unit.
The manual movement is only allowed in case of error 206 (no power to
motors) to allow the exit of the patient.
Although the dose supplied by dental X-ray units is quite low and
distributed on a small surface, the operator must adopt the precautions
and/or suitable protection for the patient and himself, during the
execution of radiography. It is advisable to control the X-ray emission
from a protected area, by means of a remote control. If it is necessary to
operate near the patient, stay as far as the remote control cable allows,
or at least 2 m both from the X-ray source and from the patient, as
shown in Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2.

SERVICE MANUAL
Safety information
WARNING:
The network connector on the base of the Rotograph EVO 3D column
must be connected to the dedicated image acquisition and 3D and
panoramic reconstruction PC via a shielded Ethernet cable "Cat.5e" or
greater.
Do not use this connector to connect the Rotograph Evo 3D to LAN
networks.
NOTE:
* The dimension of the "patient's environment" is defined as a distance of
at least 1.5 m from the actual patient.
If the PC is positioned inside the patient's environment, it must conform
to the requirements specified by the IEC 60601-1 standard for medical
devices; if located outside of the patient's environment, it must be
compliant with the IEC 60950 standard.
If the PC is supplied by Villa (optional), it must be placed outside the
patient's environment.
NOTE:
* Do not apply movements to the rotating arm or the tube-head when
the equipment is on.
WARNING: PRECAUTIONS DURING INSTALLATION AND SERVICE

INTERVENTIONS
• Please take the highest care while mounting the column to the wall
and strictly follow the instructions listed in this manual.
• Before removing the covers of the column, or before removing the
covers of the Generator board (A10), disconnect the power supply to
the device, both switching the main switch and the magneto-thermal
differential off, and wait at least 2 minutes.
• When the device is supplied without the above mentioned coverings,
pay the highest attention since high voltage is generated in the
supply unit, and the voltage is at about 400 Vdc on the Generator
board. This is indicated by the green LED H1. Should the LED be off
and before any other intervention, disconnect the device from the net,
wait at least 2 minute, then check the fuses F1 (10AF) in the supply
unit, or F2 (5AF) on the Generator board (see circuit diagram).
• Each intervention must be performed after having disconnected the
device from the supply net and after LED H1 is OFF. It is anyway
advisable to wait at least 2 minutes from the LED's switching off.
• The system construction does not allow the repair of
faulty/damaged parts, that must be replaced using original spare
parts supplied by Villa Sistemi Medicali. Only trained personnel
are authorized to make service interventions on the unit,
following the instructions contained in this manual.

SERVICE MANUAL
Description
3.3. Block diagram

This paragraph provides a brief description, at block diagram level, of the
Rotograph EVO 3D. Aim of this paragraph is to provide a brief
description of the system. More details about the electronic circuits
which compose the system can be obtained by analyzing the schematics
provided in Chapter 10.
During the description of the block diagram, please refer to Figure 3-1.
From the electrical point of view, the system can be divided into 4 main
blocks:
• Power supply assembly
• Main CPU board (A5)
• Generator board (A10), Generator CPU board (A9) and tubehead
• Column CPU board (A1)
• Keyboard with its control board (A4).
All control boards above listed are equipped with a local microcontroller
that shares information with the main CPU using a CANBUS
transmission line and protocol.
Each of the main blocks above listed is here after described.

SERVICE MANUAL
Description
3.3.1. Power supply assembly
It is located in the rear part of the column and is mainly composed by the
mains switch (S1), a 24Vdc 7A switching mode power supply which
supplies all circuits of the machine excluding the column motor, and a
further power supply which supplies the column motor and the enabling
circuit for X-ray emission.
The power supply assembly also acts as an interface with a number of
external signals and circuits like:
• Input for remote X-ray push button (S7) and output to the CPU of the
same signal.
• Outputs for the "Ready" and "X-ray ON" lamps (X3).
• Driving of the DC column motor (M1): this motor can be activated
either through its control board (A1), in case the movement is
requested by the operator acting on the keyboard, or through the
switch S2 located in the rear part of the column base. This switch
can be used to raise/lower the column during the installation phase
when the CPU has not been yet connected to the system.
• Input for the emergency column motor microswitches (S3 and S5):
these microswitches indicate the limit for the movement of the
column. If for any reason, the column goes beyond these
microswitches, the motor is de-activated by cutting the voltage.
Normally, the position of the column is also monitored by two other
microswitches (S4 and S6) that, as for all the other positioning
sensors, provide their signals to the Column CPU board (A1).
The unit does not include a voltage selector circuit for the mains voltage.
Therefore, the unit is manufactured in different versions, depending on
the line voltage of the installation place.
The power supply assembly module also includes the Column CPU board
(A1) that is dedicated to the control of the vertical column motion during
all phases (slow speed, ramp up to high speed, ramp down from high to
low speed, end run microswitches control, etc.).

SERVICE MANUAL
Description
3.3.2. CPU Board (A5 and A6)
It is located in the arm movement assembly on top of the unit.

Main tasks are:
• General controlling of the unit, receiving the signals from the
keyboard and from the different microswitches.
• Driving of the 3 stepper motors which compose the system.
• Monitoring the functioning of the motors through the analysis of the
signals coming from the positioning sensors.
• Driving of the HF group (Generator board and tubehead) in order to
provide the X-ray doses set by the operator on the keyboard (kV and
mA set point) and in the meantime, check the functioning of this
group through the managing of the relevant alarm signals.
• Activation of the 2 luminous centering devices.
• Managing of the alarms that can be generated by anomalous
conditions present in the unit and caused by the operator or by a
fault. These signals are sensed by the local CPUs and signalled using
specific CANBus messages.
The CPU board is based on a 32 bit Motorola Microprocessor MCF5232,
mounted on a piggy-back PCB (A6), which also includes the Flash
EPROM, the RAM and other logic and passive components.
The CPU board also includes a number of input/output channels
necessary for the functioning of the system and 3 stepper motor driving
stages based on integrated motor drivers. Each of these motors is
associated to positioning sensors that monitor their functioning. The
signals of these sensors are fed back to the CPU board.
The number and the type of sensors depend on the function of each
motor. In general, optical switches are used.
Depending on the physical location of the motors on the machine, their
signals and the ones of the relevant positioning sensors are routed
directly to the CPU through dedicated cables, or passing through
interconnection boards located nearby.
The transmission of the motion from the motor to the relevant movement
assemblies is achieved through toothed belts (rotation motor and Y axis
motor) or through actuators (column motor, primary collimator, Soft
Tissue Filter, secondary collimator and Ceph sensor).
The functioning of the different motors and relevant positioning sensors
can be tested through the use of the Service Programs (Passwords). For
more details, please refer to paragraph 7.3.
The circuits of the CPU board are supplied starting from the +24Vdc
(LED H12) provided by the Power supply assembly and generating on
board the requested voltages (+5V, +3.3V and +1.5V). Three LED's on the
board indicate the presence of these 3 voltages (+5V=LED H2, +3.3V=LED
H3, +1.5V=LED H5).

SERVICE MANUAL
Description
3.3.3. Generator Board (A10) and Tubehead
The Generator board and the tubehead are located on the rotating arm,
very close to each other. The power supply voltage is directly provided by
the Power supply assembly.
Dedicated switching circuits, directly located on the board, generate the
voltage used on the board itself.
Managing of the Generator board is done by the dedicated Generator CPU

board (A9) that is interfaced with the main CPU board (A5) using the
CANBus cable (X20-X20). This cable also has a dedicated wire to bring
the X-ray button signal to this board, so the "dead man switch" method
is generated directly on the board.
The high frequency (HF) circuit is based on an inverter circuit working at

the frequency about 100kHz, which drives the tubehead through an
output stage based on IGBT components.
The Generator board receives the signals concerning the X-ray dose to
provide (kV and mA), from the CPU board through CANBus messages; it
is the Generator CPU that generates the commands used for the X-ray
emission. The Generator board provides to the tubehead the voltages that
drive the high voltage transformers that then drive anode and filament of
the X-ray tube, also giving the relevant timing.
The tubehead is composed by the X-ray tube (CEI OPX/105) inserted in a

sealed container, together with the high voltage transformers, filled with
dielectric oil.
Checking of proper functioning of the X-ray emitting system is achieved

through the analysis of feed back signals generated inside the tubehead
and transmitted to the Generator board and relevant Generator CPU.
Possible anomalous conditions are then communicated to the main CPU
board (A5) which in turn generates error codes to alert the operator.

SERVICE MANUAL
Description
3.3.4. Keyboard (A4)
The keyboard is the interface with the operator, and is composed by the
following items:
• Matrix of keys, constituted by microswitches with short stroke,
necessary to activate the different available functions
• Signalling LED integrated in the touch panel
• LCD display equipped with back-light, composed by a matrix of 16
characters and 2 rows
• Keyboard PCB.
The keyboard PCB is directly connected to the main CPU board (A5)
which controls it. The language of the messages shown on the display
can be selected among 5 different options (English, Italian, French,
German and Spanish). The language selection is only available for the
messages dedicated to the user. The messages relative to the service
programs (Password) are always in English.

4.4. Measurement method of technical factors
WARNING:
These measurements require the removal of the HF group covers; this
means to gain access to internal parts where high voltage are normally
present.
For the measurement of the exposure parameters with the invasive

method, please follow the procedure described in paragraphs 6.7.5.1.1,
6.7.5.1.2 and 6.7.5.1.3 of this manual.
WARNING:
During the panoramic examination, the set value of kV and tube current
varies according to a pre-determined curve in order to compensate the
different absorption of X-ray beam due to different anatomical structures.
In this way, it is possible to obtain a good uniformity of the image
contrast. Particularly, the chosen value is lowered on the initial phase of
the panoramic and increased on the scissors/canine zone, in order to
compensate the effect of the cervical spine.
The value displayed during the panoramic examination corresponds to
the one chosen by the user, while the real value can be different; these
effects must be considered in case of measure of the exposure factors
using standard diagnostic mode. As an example, the variation follows the
curve hereafter:
Set value Actual value mA
Actual value kV
Accuracy declared on the section "Technical data" is referred to the

actual value of kV and/or mA. In any case, the manufacturer guarantees
that the accuracy of the loading factors is always in compliance with the
international standard for safety of medical devices IEC 60601-1.
Particularly, in accordance with IEC 60601-2-7, the maximum deviation
(including the correction and instrument’s accuracy) is less than or equal
to ±10 for kV, while for tube current is less than or equal to ± 15%.

Authorised technicians are therefore recommended to use the greatest
country.

SERVICE MANUAL
Installation
6.7.5.1.1. kVp
Use a multimeter (R input >= 10MΩ) in working conditions VDC and end
of scale 5/10V (maximum value 4.3 V); position the cold pole on TP40
(GND) and the hot pole on TP44 (kV) on the Generator board (A10). Set
the following parameters: 60kV-6mA-3s.
Perform an exposure and considering that the ratio between the value on
the voltmeter and high voltage is 1V= 20kV, verify that the value
indicated by the multimeter ranges from 2.85÷3.15 V (3V±5%).
Should this last value be outside the specified limit, detect the "set kV"
voltage supplied by CPU, connecting the voltmeter between TP40 GND
test points and TP46 kV (set nearby X57). The value on these points
must range from 2.7 and 3.3 V (3V+3%). If it is out of tolerance replace
the Generator CPU board (A9), otherwise replace the Generator board.
Measured values for different set values are contained in the following
table.
kV Nominal Minimum Maximum

value value value
60 3 2.85 3.15
70 3.5 3.325 3.825
80 4.0 3.8 4.2
86 4.3 4.085 4.515
If all measures are within the specified range, and there is an evidence of
a performance loss, measure the high voltage supplied by the tubehead,
and the exposure time using a non-invasive kilovoltmeter with < +3kVp
tolerance. The high voltage value must be within 8% of the set value,
while the time value must be within 10% of the set value. If the voltage is
not within the expected range, replace the tubehead; otherwise replace
Generator CPU board.

SERVICE MANUAL
Installation
6.7.5.1.2. mA Check
Use a multimeter (R input >= 10MΩ) in working conditions VDC and end
of scale 5/10 V (maximum value 4VDC), position the cold pole on TP40
(GND) and the hot pole on TP29 (mA). Set the following parameters:
60kV-6mA-3s.
Perform an exposure and considering that a ratio 1V DC ≈ 3 mA, verify
that the value indicated by the multimeter ranges from 1.86÷2.138V
(6mA±8%).
Set 80kV - 12mA - 3s. The value read must range from 3.643 to 4.276 V
(12mA±8%).
Measured valued for different set values are contained in the following
table.
mA Nominal Minimum Maximum

value value value
6 1.98 1.822 2.138

11 3.63 3.340 3.920
12 3.96 3.643 4.277
In case the detected values are outside these ranges, check that the
voltage between TP40 (GND) and TP34 (ma) is contained on the above
ranges. If not, replace the Generator CPU board (A9).
6.7.5.1.3. Time
Verify the accuracy of the exposure time using an oscilloscope connected

at the same test points used to measure mA (TP40 for GND and TP29
mA) of the Generator board (A10). The exposure time calculated at about
75% of the maximum kV value, must correspond to the set one +10%. In
case the time is outside the prescribed values, replace the CPU.

SERVICE MANUAL
Installation
6.7.5.2. Non-invasive method
The exposure parameters (kV, time and dose) can also be verified using
the so called "non-invasive method".
WARNING:
The machine collimator gives a narrow X-ray beam.
Measurement by a non invasive kV meter on a very narrow beam can be
difficult and/or unreliable and special probes with reduced sensitive area
must be used.
It may result helpful to use a fluorescent screen to locate the X-ray beam
and consequently position the probe of the kV meter.
The exposure parameters can be checked with a non-invasive instrument

by performing the following procedure:
1. With the unit switched on, select the Panoramic Examination mode
by pressing key "Examination mode Selection - M" (11) .
2. Pressing the keys increase (4) - decrease (5) and F1 at
the same time, the LEDs relating to "Patient type", "Patient size" and
"Biting" switch off, and the display shows:
x x k V x x m A x x . x s
E M I S S I O N P R O G R A M
WARNING:
The following operations involve the emission of X-rays, so the
Authorised Technician must pay the greatest attention and respect the
protection regulations in force in that country.
NOTE:
* This program allows you to carry out the measuring of the exposure
parameters with the tube-head arm in a fixed position (not rotating)
without variations due to spine compensation.
3. Place the measuring instrument.

SERVICE MANUAL
Installation
4. To set the exposure parameters, press key (3) , the display will
show respectively one of the following three indications:
> x x k V x x m A x x . x s

x x k V x x m A > x x . x s
The symbol ">" indicates which parameter is being changed.
The selected parameter can be modified by pressing the increase
key (4) and the decrease key (5) .
The parameters can vary within the limits shown in the following
table:
Parameter Minimum value Maximum value

kV 60 86
mA 6 12
s 0.2 15
5. Perform an exposure; the emitted parameters (kV and Time) can be

read on the measuring instrument.
NOTE:
* The performances are guaranteed only if the measurement of kV and
time is done with the invasive method, due to the fact that the
non-invasive method may introduce errors for instruments tolerance or
wrong measurement condition.
6. To end the control program, press key "Test" (6) ; the display
will indicate:

SERVICE MANUAL
Troubleshooting
These errors are related to the various axis movements and require the
replacement of some parts; only the following error message E206 can be
generated by a special condition and can be reset.
7.2.2.1. E200: Zero position optical sensor of rotation always active /

E201: Zero position optical sensor of rotation never active /
E204: Unexpected activation of zero position rotation sensor
These messages mean that, during the rotation, there is no change or an

unexpected activation of the optical sensor B3.
The position of rotation is controlled by the optical sensor B3, that is
activated at the start of the rotation travel; if this sensor is found active
at the start up phase, and it is never sensed de-activated, the E200
message error is displayed, meaning that the sensor itself is broken or
that the motor is not running.
In case that it is never sensed activated, the E201 is displayed, and the
reasons are the same.

All the messages refer to the optical barrier that is sensing the zero
position of the Digital Ceph sensor holder; differences between their
meanings are that the first one (E280) may occur during the
examination, meaning that the senor activation has occurred before the
expected time. This can be caused by the loss of motion of the stepper
motor due to a collision with the patient or a fault of the motor stepper
driver.
In case that no collision has been observed or the message is frequently
displayed, follow the procedure.
The last 3 messages are displayed during the power on phase, when the
system is controlling the functionality of the whole system.
E281 and E282 mean that the zero position sensor is never activated;
due to a motor not running or to a fault of the optical barrier (the sensor
or its harness); E283 means that this sensor is always activated. Also in
this case the fault can be the motor or the optical barrier.
• Check that during the power on phase there are movements on these
axes; the normal motion is going to engage the sensor and a reverse
motion to disengage it. If no motion is observed, the fault can be the
stepper motor or the cable connecting it to the main CPU. Check that
the cables between the motor M8 and X6 of board A12 is well
inserted, as for the cable X1-X2 of A12 to X23, X24 and X34 of the
main CPU A5
• Check continuity of the above cables, from M8 to board A12 and from
X1-2 of board A12 up to X23, X24 and X34 of the main CPU (A5)
• Repeat the power on sequence, verifying the motion.
If still there is no motion, replace the stepper motor and, if not fixed,
replace the CPU.
If a motion has been observed, but messages are displayed, this can be
the sensor or its wiring:
• Power off the system and try to manually disengage the sensor,
taking care of a smooth motion.
• Power on the system and check the functioning of the sensor,
measuring the DC voltage on the terminal of the sensor B10, with
and without an obstacle manually inserted. A variation of about
3.5 V minimum should be observed. If not, replace the sensor.
• If the variation is observed and the message still continues to be
displayed, check the correct insertion of cable X5 on A12 board and
from X1-2 of the board up to X23, X24 and X34 of the main CPU;
check the continuity of the interested wires and replace the faulty

Appendix
12. APPENDIX
12.1. Appendix A: Setup parameters table

The following table lists those adjustment parameters stored in the unit
during factory testing and that must be re-entered into the non-volatile
memory in case of replacement of the CPU board (A5). This is due to the
fact that the new CPU board, provided as a spare part, has been factory
tested from the functional point of view, but contains only default
parameters which are not related to the unit where it will be installed.
Entering of the listed parameters can be performed through the service
programs (passwords).
NOTE:
* The information listed in the table are the technical parameters set
during factory testing. Preferences set by the user (e.g. exposure
parameters different than the default ones) are not listed.
The table also has columns with blank cells. These cells must be filled in
when, during installation or during the life on the unit, any of the listed
parameters will be modified (e.g. after replacing a motor or a positioning
sensor).
