4 Safety
The following sections contain information relating to
safe procedures when servicing the GE OEC Fluorostar
Compact / Series.
4.1 Safety Precautions

Under no circumstances should the safety interlocks in
the system be bypassed, jumped or otherwise disabled.
4.1.1 Trained Service Personnel

Personal injury or property damage can result from
incorrectly performed service procedures.
Observe all operating and safety procedures contained
within this manual.
WARNING: Only service personnel specifically trained by

GE OEC Medical Systems, Inc., should
perform the procedures to service the
Fluorostar Systems.
CAUTION: Federal law restricts this device to sale by, or

in the order of, a physician.
CAUTION: Service personnel should always be prepared

that systems might be contaminated and
need to be disinfected.
4.1.2 Ingress of Water and Solutions

Always unplug the AC power cable from the wall outlet
before cleaning the equipment. Do not allow water, soap
or other liquids to drip into the equipment and possibly
cause short circuits, electric shock and fire hazards.
Do not operate or store the system where conductive
fluids, like water or saline solutions, might spill on the
equipment unless you drape or bag the system.

Safety
4.1.3 Patient Environment

Medical electrical equipment operated within the patient
environment shall meet the same level of safety as
equipment complying with IEC 60601-1. Equipment
operated outside of the patient environment shall meet
the level of safety appropriate for non-medical electrical
equipment complying with other IEC or ISO safety
standards. Interconnection of the equipment shall not
result in a safety level for the patient that is inferior to the
level given in IEC 60601-1.
Following are considerations for externally connecting
equipment that is connected to an external power
source:
• Located within the patient area: Verify that the
enclosure leakage current of combined devices does
not exceed 100µA in normal condition and 300µA with
any ground (protective earth) conductor open. (500µA
outside the U.S. with any ground open.)
• Located outside the patient area: Verify that the
leakage current of the combined devices does not
cause any equipment within the patient environment
to exceed 100µA in normal condition and 300µA with
NOTE: If any situation causes the equipment to exceed

the leakage current limits as described above, an
additional ground (protective earth) conductor, or
an isolation transformer, floating power supply, or
other separation device must be installed.
Determine which piece of equipment is causing
the system to exceed the leakage current limits
and disconnect it from the system. Contact OEC
Medical Systems, Inc., Technical Support, to
report the problem and to determine if the
equipment can be connected using an
appropriate separation method.

Safety
4.1.4 Electrical Safety

Electrical circuits inside the equipment use voltages that
are capable of causing serious injury or death from
electrical shock.
WARNING: This equipment contains high power

electrical components and should only be
serviced by personnel familiar with the
circuits and operation. At certain locations
these voltages are present EVEN WHEN THE
POWER CORD IS UNPLUGGED.
Areas where dangerous voltages exist:

• Monoblock - 110,000 volts
• Image Intensifier Assembly - 25,000 - 30,000 volts
• Image Intensifier - 50,000 volts
• Line Voltage - 120/230 VAC
• Transformers - 100 - 240 volts
• Video Monitors - 100 - 240 volts
• Generator - 110,000 volts
Observe the following precautions when you remove

system covers:
- Observe the two-person rule when working near
lethal voltages. A person who is familiar with the
emergency power removal procedure must be in
attendance. This person must remain clear of the
machine and be prepared to turn it off in an emer-
gency.
- Be familiar with the components being serviced
and the locations of hazardous voltages in the as-
sembly where you work.

Safety
- High voltage cables and capacitors can retain a

charge even when you remove all power from the
system. Avoid touching these unless you are cer-
tain the charge has dissipated to ground.
- Some high energy capacitors in the system should
be shorted to ground through an adequate resis-
tance to avoid a burn hazard.
- A protective earth ground stud, located on the bot-
tom left side of the system base, and marked with
the international symbol shown below on the left.
It also has a distinctly colored decal at the base of
the stud as shown below on the right.
4.1.5 Explosion Hazards

WARNING: Never operate the system in the presence of
flammable anesthetics or other flammable
or explosive liquids, vapors, or gases. Vapors
and gases can ignite by electrical arcs that
can occur during the normal operation of
switches, circuit breakers, push buttons and
other circuit components.
If flammable substances are present before the system

is turned on:
• Do not plug the system in.
• Do not turn the system on.
If flammable substances are detected after the system

has been turned ON:
• Do not touch of the controls or switches.
• Do not turn it OFF. Do not unplug it.
• Evacuate all personnel immediately.
• Ventilate the room to clear the air of the flammable
vapor or gas.

Safety
• Remove any volatile liquids that are producing flam-

mable vapors to a safe storage area.
4.1.6 X-Radiation Hazard

WARNING: The X-Ray tube (Monoblock) assembly
produces X-radiation when energized. Never
operate this device without X-ray shielding in
place. Use lead shielding and draping to
protect personnel.
4.1.7 Motorized Mechanical Motion Hazard

The vertical column is motorized. Observe it continuously
while operating this feature to avoid collision with people
or equipment.
If you remove the covers, use extreme care when
operating motorized features. Do not wear loose clothing
that may become tangled in gears and chains. Do not
operate motorized features when fingers and hands are
near motorized equipment.
The same applies for an (optional) motorized lateral
movement.
WARNING: The vertical spindle of the worm gear is

secured with a self-locking nut. Do not use
this nut a second time when once has been
opened.

Safety
4.5 Long Term Shutdown Procedures
4.5.1 System Storage

1 To prepare the system for storage, remove power
plugs and set the brakes and locks on all movable as-
semblies.
2 Cover the C-Arm with a dust cover
3 The system should be stored under suitable environ-
mental conditions
4 It should not be stored in any location where there is a
change of it becoming wet or damp
5 Before initial operation or after a lengthy time not in
use (10 weeks or more) the X-ray generator must go
through a re-initialization process in accordance with
table under Running in the X-Ray Generator.
6 When returning from long-term storage, perform all
the inspections and confidence checks. If sufficient
time has elapsed since the last use, it may be neces-
sary to perform the annual inspection
7 When the system has been stored for more than six
months it should be switched on for at least one hour
prior to use. The system should only be switched on
and left in this condition. There is no need to activate
the X-ray system during the one hour warm up period.
These measures significantly prolong the life of the
image intensifier system.

Safety
4.5.2 Preparation for Shipment

To prepare the system for shipment, observe the
following recommendations:
1 Image intensifier, X-ray tubes, control panel and mon-
itor should all be wrapped with bubble packing.
2 All cables and the film cassette holder should be
packed securely.
3 Cover the C-Arm assembly and the Monitor cart. Fas-
ten down both system components and enclose them
in a protective container (adequate for shipment or

Theory of Operation
6 Theory of Operation
This chapter deals with various parts of the Fluorostar
including the system power, the communication, the
collimator, the generator.
6.1 System Architecture
6.2 Power ON
Power supply Press ON Button on UIF CL or UIF CR.
ON Button sends signal to B767, then to B111, which
turns on the main power supply – all components get
power.
• 230V AC for IPC / LPT / LPS

Theory of Operation
• 150V AC for Generator

• LPT –12V +12V +5V
• LPS +24V
• Power distribution through B837 (including LED and
Fuse for each module)
6.3 System boot-up

When you press the ON button, the system boots up
within 120 sec. The user interfaces remain dark until the
boot-up sequence controlled by the IPC has been
concluded and the system is operational – it will then
show the preconfigured mask (Patient Management
control panel by default). Boot-up is indicated by the LEDs
on the right side of the user interfaces flashing in
ascending order.
Boot Screen
During boot-up, the monitors show:

1 GE Logo shows shortly on the monitor(s).
2 Black screen(s) for some seconds.
3 Boot screen (shown below).

Theory of Operation
4 Then (progress bar):
5 And finally (Fluoro symbol moving from the center to

the right upper corner to show readiness for X-rays):

Theory of Operation
6.3.1 IPC 2100/2200 boot-up

The IPC boots up after power input = 230 VAC.
Boot time approx. 120 sec.
Successful boot-up is indicated by monitor „A“ displaying
CCD circle and text.

Theory of Operation
6.3.2 IPC 2100/2200 boot-up diagram

Theory of Operation
Failure during
IPC2100/2200
boot-up
6.4 Power OFF

To start the Power off procedure press OFF Button on UIF.
The following procedure is running now:
B710 sends the shutdown signal to the IPC. The IPC
prepares the system shutdown by closing all running
applications, then closes the communication to the B767
and shuts down the operating system. B767 checks by
means of the CTS signal if the IPC has shut down; if yes,
B767 completely turns off the system.
Case 1: CTS signal is low while B767 does the check:
this is the normal case.
When B767 detects a low signal on CTS, the B767
switches off the system immediately.
In the EEPROM it is stored that shutdown was successful.

Theory of Operation
Case 2: B767 check completed and CTS is still high:

this is the error case which can occur if the operating
system crashes during shutdown. The system will have to
be made powerless and the IPC will have to be turned off
manually in this case.
6.4.1 Safety Check Emergency OFF

Switch off system - press and keep depressed the
EMERGENCY STOP button. While you keep this button
depressed, try to switch on the system by pressing the ON
button. The green LED in the ON button must light up
quickly and then turn back to red again, and the system
must not boot up, as long as the EMERGENCY STOP
button is kept depressed. Only if the EMERGENCY STOP
button is released, the system can be powered on by
pressing the ON button again. Please note that you have
to wait 90 seconds before switching on the system again
to allow the Safe Shutdown Circuit to shut down the IPC
in a controlled manner.

6.5.5 B379 Input current limiter + Generator power
Input current When power is first applied, the transformer generates a

limiter high inrush current that is limited by this circuit to avoid
damage. A resistor (10 Ohm for 240VAC, 5Ohm for
120VAC) in series to the transformer limits the inrush
current. A R/C timing circuit (R3 and C1) causes a delayed
switch of relay K1 to bypass the current limiter for regular
application. K1 and R4 cause a discharge of C1 when the
system is turned off.

Theory of Operation
Generator On X3-1 and X3-2, the DC voltage (GL1) is connected that

Power Supply loads the external capacitor C1 (X3-5 and X3-6) through
inductor L1 and diode D10. C13 is charged through
resistors R10 and R11 until U1 reaches its trigger point
and starts. Q1 charges inductor L1 and the load is
discharged through D10 to capacitor C1. The auxiliary
winding on L1 takes over the supply of U1. The output
voltage is regulated through the dividers R19, R18 and
R21. The mirrored input voltage is supplied to the
multiplier in U1 through the resistors R16 and R17 to
generate a sinusoidal current. When the system is turned
off, capacitor C1 is discharged through R2 and K2B.
Thermo switch S1 protects the resistor R2 from over
current in case of failure.

6.6 Collimator
This chapter describes the collimator function.
6.6.1 Circuit/Mechanical Descriptions
Beam Limiting DAC-8 is designed to control the geometry of the X-ray

Device DAC-8 beam (digitally controlled, asymmetric collimator with 8
leaves) DAC-8 consists of an iris collimator and a slot
collimator. The control unit B708 limits the angle of the X-
ray beam automatically to the field size of the image
intensifier, depending on the selected operating mode of
the X-ray system. The opening size of the iris collimator
can also be adjusted manually as required. The slot
collimator consists of two parallel-assembled blades. The
blades can be manually opened, closed and moved
asymmetrically in parallel. The slot collimator can be
turned by 180° max. The X-ray beam is limited to the
required field size of the image intensifier relating to the
source-to-image distance (SID) of the X-ray system to
prevent excess radiation.

Theory of Operation
B708 Interface This PCB controls the entire generator including the
for Generator/ collimator. The B708 is controlled through a CAN-Bus. The
DAC-Controller functions are separated into these areas:
- Collimator Control
- Temperature/Voltage control with safety circuit
- Generator control
- Copper prefilter recognition in case the pediatric
option is installed
6.6.2 Fault Isolation
Symptom with In the event that the actual collimator position is not
HW failure reported to the controller due to a defective port or cable,
the corresponding part will drive to its mechanical limit.
Since all motors are current regulated, there will be no
damage to the motors or mechanics.
Symptom with A possible SW failure could be that SW does not read the
SW failure actual collimator position and min/max limits, causing
the collimator to drive to the mechanical limits.
In case of a SW crash, the watch-dog-timer activates the
safety circuit and turns off all collimator motors, keeping
it in its current position. The trigger pulses on the
controller output (X2/22A) cause the input to the watch-
dog-timer to go low. The outputs of the data latch (IC3/
12-19) are switched to high impedance through signal OE
(Output Enable) causing all inputs on IC1 and IC2 to go
high. The output of the analog switch interrupts all PWM
lines, disabling the drives to motors M1 – M4.

Theory of Operation
6.7 Communication
This chapter describes the communication between B767
and other system components.
CAN-Bus The CAN-Bus provides communication for the generator

control between B708 on the generator and the B767
central control unit. Its functionality controls and
monitors kV, mA, filament, collimator (iris, slot), and X-ray.
The B355 establishes the 5kV isolation between B708 and
B767.
COM 1 COM 1 is the serial communication between the B767

central control unit and the IPC. It controls the user
interface menus and touch screen overlay.
COM 2 COM 2 is the serial communication between the B767

central control unit and the IPC. It controls X-ray and
dose.
6.8 Generator Maxiplus 3000

This chapter deals with the Generator Maxiplus 3000 and
describes it’s component functions.
Monoblock Maxiplus 3000 is an X-ray source in Monoblock design.

Maxiplus 3000
Equipped with a two focus fixed anode X Ray tube for
Fluoroscopy and Radiography.
As X Ray source for use in mobile X Ray systems for
Fluoroscopy and Radiography.

Theory of Operation
B350, HV Power The B350 supplies the HV transformer. The power

Supply amplifier consists of five transistors. The transistors T2 –
T5 form the output stage. They generate the AC for the HV
transformer. The transformers TR1 and TR2 drive the
transistors with the signals PUSH and PULL. Transistor T1
switches power to the output stage and is driven by the
signal BUCK. Transformer TR3 is the current sensor of the
output stage. Its signal is evaluated on B708 for current
balancing and output limiting.
B351, Generator The B351 provides the Generator auxiliary supply and the
Supply filament output.
The B351 features 2x2 MOSFET stages for the 2 filaments.
6.8.2 B708
The B708 controls and regulates the generator. It
combines anode voltage. heating current regulation and
control of the generator. The frequency to control the
heating is at 20 kHz max.

B355 Signal The B355 provides the galvanic isolation of the following
distribution and interfaces / signals:
5KV Isolation
• CAN-Bus (RX_CAN, TX_CAN)
• X-ray On
• Laser activation (Laser_ON)
The galvanic isolation provides a 5KV isolation of the
signals to the generator. In addition, the B355 distributes
power to the generator.
X-ray ON
The B355 distributes the X-ray On command to the B708.
The galvanic isolation is realized through an optical
isolator (IC4/3 – 6). The following transistors (T1/T2)
provide additional switching security. If one transistor
fails, the second transistor can control the X-ray on
command independently.
The signal runs from ST11/5, 6 through the isolator and
transistors to ST10/3,4.

Theory of Operation
CAN-Bus
The CAN-Bus is also isolated on the B355 and then routed
to the B708. The optical isolators IC2, IC3 realize the
isolation. The CAN-Rx signal is sent through IC2/3 >6 to
ST10/7,8 and the CAN-TX signal is received through IC3/3
>6 from ST10/5,6.
The signal runs from ST9/2,3 to the CAN controller (IC1),
through the isolators (IC2, IC3), to ST10/5,6,7,8.
Laser ON
The laser on signal is isolated by IC5. The signal enters at
ST11/4, runs through IC5/2 >5 and via T3 to ST12/2.

6.8.3 Miscellaneous
Please refer to the Operator Manual in its current version
for more detailed information concerning the following
topics.
Regulatory Please refer to the Operator Manual for Compliance

Compliance information.
Modifications Unauthorized changes or modifications on the Maxiplus

3000 or on parts of the Maxiplus 3000 may cause
hazardous consequences and may cause violation of
applicable standards or legal regulations. Changes or
modifications are not permitted by GE OEC Medical
Systems.
Electro- The Maxiplus 3000 has been tested and found to comply
magnetic with the electromagnetic compatibility standard EN
Compatibility 60601-1-2. The Declaration of Conformity can be
Statement requested at GE OEC Medical Systems GmbH. The
manufacturer of the X-ray system, in which the Maxiplus
3000 is used as X- Ray source, is responsible to guarantee
compliance with IEC 60601-1-2 for an integrated (mobile)
X-ray system.
Non-Anesthetic Maxiplus 3000 is not approved to be operated in the

Proof presence of flammable anesthetic or other flammable or
(Explosion) explosive liquids, vapors or gases.
Safety Notes Radiation Safety

The Maxiplus 3000 can be hazardous for patients and
personnel. The owner of the X-ray system, in which the
Maxiplus 3000 is used as X-ray source, is responsible to
provide safety instructions and operating instructions for
the professional use of the system. The distance to the X-
ray beam outlet should be kept as far as possible.

Theory of Operation
Hazardous Temperature
- In continued operation, the housing of the
Maxiplus 3000 heats up.
- A plastic cap and a skin spacer atop of the housing
protects the patient from direct contact of with the
housing.
- A maximum temperature of 50°C / 122°F may oc-
cur.
- Please take care that patient and personnel have
no direct contact to the housing.
- At 45°C / 113°F at the skin spacer, a safety circuit
limits the anode current to 0.5mA.
- At 50°C / 122°F at the skin spacer, a safety circuit
disables radiation.
- If the temperature control circuitry fails, a bi-metal
temperature sensor switch terminates radiation at
80°C / 176°F to protect the equipment from dam-
age. The bi-metal switch can only be reset manu-
ally by service personnel.
Source-to-skin distance
The distance to the X-ray beam outlet should be kept as
far as possible. A skin spacer tube atop of the housing
ensures a minimum distance of 30cm to the focal spot.
By removing the skin spacer tube, the minimum source to
skin distance will be decreased from 30cm to 20cm.
Removal of the skin spacer tube should be done only on
the instruction of a physician for special procedures. It
must be reassembled immediately following the special
procedure.
Three versions of the skin spacer are available:
• Part Number 00-419163-01 regular skin spacer.
• Part Number 00-419173-01 pediatric skin spacer with

Lift Operation C-Arm Lift Up:

When you press the up-switch, you generate a signal
LMOTUP. This signal travels to PCB B767 through U901
and exits through X105/5,6 to PCB B105. The signal
passes through the upper limit switch to the normally
closed contacts of relay K5 pin 3 on PCB B105. The signal
energizes the current control relay K1, direction control
up relay K2 and current enable up relay K4. These three
relays, 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 Lift Down:

Theory of Operation
When you press the down-switch, you generate a signal

LMODWN. This signal travels to PCB B767 through U901

closed contacts of relay K4 pin 3 on PCB B105. The signal
energizes the current control relay K1, direction control
up relay K3 and current enable up relay K5. These three
relays, along with the normally closed contacts of the

6.12 Laser on Image Intensifier (II)

The two II lasers only need +5V supply. This supply is
switched on/off by B767. This activated current leaves
B767 on X335/3 pin 16, enters B335 on X3 pin 16 and
leaves it directly on X6 pin 2 to B336 ST1 pin 2. On B336,
the signal is divided for both lasers and leaves on ST2 pin1
for Laser 1 and ST3 pin1 for Laser 2.
To use the II laser, it must be enabled in the software.

6.13 Laser on Generator

This item is available in two versions:
Laser (only), cross
Laser (cross) with DAP Unit
The Laser is connected via a three wire cable to B355. Pin
1 is ground and pin 3 is +5V for the power supply. Pin 2
provides the LASER_ON signal. If pin 2 is low the laser
lights up. The LASER_ON signal comes from the B767 via
ST11 pin 4.
To use the laser, it must be enabled in the software. (Setup
/ Service Menu / FS Setup Page / Options)

6.14 Dose Area Product (DAP) Chamber

This is an optional part.
An existing machine can also be upgraded with a DAP
chamber. Please use the Update kit (see spare part list) to
do this.
The DAP unit is connected via a 4-wire connection to the
B708 board. Pin 1 is ground and pin 2 is +15V for the
power supply. Pin 3 and 4 are the RS422 interface. This
will transfer the measured value to the microprocessor on
the B708 board.
On Pin 15 of the microprocessor, U302A sends a low
signal while turning on the item. In this case CT301 is not
active and the internal LED of Q300 is lightning. In this
case, the contact of Q300 is closed and the DAP unit
performs a self-test. The result from the self-test is pulses
on the RS422 lines. If the DAP unit is correctly installed
software-wise, and the hardware is working properly, you
will get the following message on the user interface while
starting the system: “DAP V xx” (next to the last X-ray
date/time).

Theory of Operation
If the DAP option is installed, the different DAP functions

are available. For example, the dose accumulated in
every picture on the main monitor.

6.16 Printer
The Printer gets the necessary signal from the IPC USB
output. This signal enters the B891 and B892 board
(Series + Compact Plus). Those boards split up the signal.
The output signal enters the Printer via USB.
In the case of a Compact system, the printer signal goes
directly from the IPC‘s USB output to the printer‘s USB
input.

Theory of Operation
When you press “print” this will create a signal PRTOUT.

This signal leaves IPC2100 and the printer answers with
- BUSY.
6.17 Software
During every boot-up, the version control module checks
the SW revisions for each module IPC2100/2200, B767/
B768 and B708.
If a module has a wrong SW REV, a warning message will
be displayed and a SW update should be performed.

8.9.8 Job Card Electrical Safety Tests - JC_PMP08

This job card explains the electrical safety tests needed
during works at the Fluorostar.
General Electrical safety tests provide a method of determining if

potential electrical health hazards to the patient or
operator of the device exist. After performance of
electrical safety testing a functional test of the device
must be passed. Described tests and acceptance criteria
are based on IEC62353:2007.
Perform these tests depending on the local regulatory
requirements. Some country agencies do require these
tests after field equipment repairs (e.g. Germany). Skip
this test if it is not required by your country (go to Safety
check Emergency OFF).
• upon receipt of the device
• every twelve months thereafter, and
• each time the main enclosure is disassembled or a
circuit board is removed, tested, repaired, or replaced.
Test conditions Perform electrical safety tests under normal ambient

conditions of temperature, humidity, and pressure.
Test equipment
Item Specification
Leakage Current Tester* equivalent to the circuits
shown below.
Digital Multimeter (DMM) AC volts, Ohm
*able to deliver a current of at least 200mA into 500mΩ. Open circuit
voltage shall not exceed 24V
Pretests Power outlet test

Verify that the power outlet is wired correctly per the

country’s electrical code standard before starting the
following electrical safety tests. The results of the
following tests will be inaccurate unless a properly wired
power outlet is used.
Power cord and plug

Verify the power cord being used with the C-arm and/or
Monitor Cart is good. Following are a couple of things to
check for in this regard:
• Failure of the power cord strain relief is very common.
Often times users of the equipment pull on the power
cord itself, rather than the power cord plug, to unplug
the patient monitor from a wall receptacle. If in doubt,
test for continuity through each conductor of the
power cord connector and plug.
• Verify line, neutral, and ground conductors are prop-
erly connected to the power cord plug and are not
short-circuited. Rewire and tighten these, or replace
the power cord, as necessary.
Verify the same for the interconnect cable between C-
arm and Monitor
Tests Electrical Safety Test shall be performed as required by

IEC 62353 “Medical electrical equipment – Recurrent test
and test after repair of medical electrical equipment”.
Consult your country/local safety agency if in question.
Connection lines such as data lines or functional earth
conductors need to be disconnected to prevent incorrect
measurements.

If the measured values are between 90 % and 100 % of

the acceptable limit, previously measured values shall be
taken into consideration for the assessment of the
electrical safety of the device. A significant increase could
indicate a problem. If such previous data values are not
available, reduced intervals between electrical safety
tests shall be taken into account.
Protective Earth Resistance

The Fluorostar system is available in different configura-
tions. The following limits are applicable.
Limits:
Configura- Detachable Protective Earth
tion Power Cord Resistance
Compact Yes 200mΩ for System
100mΩ for power cord
or 300mΩ if measured
together
Monitor Cart Yes 300mΩ
Compact Plus Yes 300mΩ
Series Yes 300mΩ
Equipment Leakage Currents

According to IEC 62353 one of the following methods of
measuring the equipment leakage currents may be used:
• Alternative method
• Direct method
• Differential method
For Fluorostar mobile C-arms the differential method is
recommended. The maximum allowed current in normal
condition is for 200-240V - 1000 μA and for 100–120V –
500 µA.

Measurement of insulation resistance

Insulation resistance shall be measured between the
mains part and protective earth. Insulation resistance
measurements shall be performed with 500 V (D.C.). The
insulation resistance shall be at minimum 2 MΩ..
Safety check Emergency OFF

Switch off system - press and keep depressed the
EMERGENCY STOP button. While you keep this button
depressed, try to switch on the system by pressing the ON
button. The green LED in the ON button must light up, but
the system must not switch on the power, as long as the
EMERGENCY STOP button is kept depressed. Only if the
EMERGENCY STOP button is released, the system can be
powered on by pressing the ON button. Confirm
Emergency OFF function.

8.10.10 Job Card Check Measured DAP Accuracy -

JC_SIN19
This job card describes checking measured DAP
accuracy.

NOTE: Only if a DAP chamber is installed, an accuracy

check is required.
For calculated DAP, no check is necessary.
CAUTION: Please make sure there are no objects in the

beam.
Accuracy Check:
7 On the User Interface, open Service Menu > 2x Next
Page > DAP/AK/AKR Setup.
8 Press DAP Unit (measured) Default DAP Value.

9 Verify that the value entered for DAP is 100. If it is not,

please change it to 100.

curacy.


The value for measured DAP may not differ by more than
25% from the reference calculated DAP value.
If the deviation is within the 25% tolerance or below,
please select Pass for all three kVp settings in the CHECK
DAP CALIBRATION section of the checklist.
If the values differ by more than 25%, the reason may be
• collimator calibration wrong
• calculated DAP calculation wrong
• DAP chamber defect
• kV/mA calibration wrong
Please try to eliminate these possible causes before you
change the DAP chamber.

9.3 Replacement of Boards

This chapter describes corrective maintenance
procedures relating to circuit boards.
9.3.1 B887/B888(','GRQJOH
This section describes replacing circuit board B887/B888.
NOTE:
‘ B887 is the standard PCB for external video
out. During boot-up, the Fluorostar
recognizes the connected analog or digital
device and adapts the resolution of the video
signal accordingly.
In contrast, the optional B888 deliver a video
signal that is digital only and has a fixed
resolution of 1024 x 1280 p. The same is true
for the EDID dongle, which can simply be
plugged into the external video out.
1 Remove two screws below the left User Interface.
2 Fold the user interface open and secure it with a cable

or similar, so it stays open.

3 Open 9 screws on B887.

4 Disconnect all cables and re-connect them to the new

board.
5 Attach the new board with the 9 screws.

9.5 Generator Replacement
9.5.1 Preparations for X-ray Generator Replace-

ment
NOTE: The replacement generator is shipped with a

mounting bracket. For easier replacement do not
disassemble this bracket on the C-arm.
Disassemble the bracket from the replacement
generator (no need for mechanical adjustment of
generator).
NOTE: Replacement X-ray generators are shipped

without collimator. Use the complete collimator
from the previous generator.
Replacement X-ray generators are shipped
without any electronic boards. Only the Power
Part Cpl. is pre-installed.
Preparation: Look for a box or similar approx. 25cm high

for easier handling of the dismounted generator.
1 Place this box below the generator.
2 Position C-arm ca. 3cm higher than the box.
3 Turn off the machine, disconnect from power.
WARNING: By disconnecting connectors from the

generator dangerous voltages are open to
the touch, if power is not disconnected.
4 Lock all brakes!
WARNING: Mechanical hazards by dismounting the

generator are present if brakes are not
locked.

9.5.2 Generator Radiation Exit Window

Since the introduction of a new Radiation Exit Window on
the generator including aluminum attenuation, the
aluminum attenuation plate on top of the collimator is no
longer needed. When replacing a generator, please
proceed as follows:
1 Please read the generator serial number from the
generator label attached to the generator hous-
ing.
Generator Maxiplus
3000
Old radiation Exit S/N 10,000-15,000

Window
New radiation Exit S/N > 15,000

Window
This means there are two cases:

a) If the generator serial number is between 10,000
and 15,000, an aluminum attenuation plate of the
collimator is needed.

b) If the generator serial number is above 15,000

NO aluminum attenuation plate on the collimator
is needed.
S/N 10,000-15,000 S/N > 15,000
IMPORTANT: Collimator without aluminium

Please remove the aluminium attenuation plate.
attenuation plate when replacing a

10.3.3 Job Card II Laser Adjustment - JC_UPG07

This job card describes the adjustment of Laser II.
You need the following tools:
• 90 0 angle pattern
• coin, screw or equal with up to 4mm diameter
The angle between both lasers should be exactly 90 0.

1 To adjust it, rotate the laser manually until both lasers
have exactly an 90 0 angle.

Upgrade Procedures
CAUTION: This adjustment must be done very carefully,

since this has critical influence on the exact-
ness of the Laser crosshairs in every height.
2 Fix the laser with the outer and the inner screw with-
out using force.
3 Place the coin in the center of the X-ray crosshairs.
4 The height should be chosen to be as close as possible
to the generator side (when in hospital use: patient ta-
ble).
5 Make an X-ray exposure and position the machine so
that the coin is exactly in the crosshair center on mon-
itor A.
6 Now adjust now the crosshairs of the lasers on the ac-
tual coin so that they exactly match those on the
monitor. Use the left and right screws for this adjust-
ment. If necessary, open one screw and tighten the
other until the target is exactly in the center.
7 Now change the height so that the coin is in the mid-

dle between generator and II.
8 Make an X-ray exposure and position the machine so
that the coin is exactly in the crosshair center on mon-
itor A.

Upgrade Procedures
9 Check if the laser crosshairs are still on the center of

the actual coin. If not, the angle adjustment was not
exact enough. In this case, repeat the angle adjust-
ment.
10 Mount the new II safety cover (with two windows for
the Laser). Assemble it in such a way that the windows
are exactly above the two lasers.
11 Perform Dose Rate Adjustment.

10.9.3 Using Enterprise Authentication

WPA2 Enterprise authentication uses IEEE 802.1X with
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) security for
authentication. EAP is a standard that provides an
infrastructure for network access points (authenticators)
and authentication servers to communicate with each
other to secure network device client (supplicant) access.
The most commonly used EAP methods are EAP-TLS
(802.1x), EAP-TTLS (802.1x), EAP-PEAP (802.1x), EAP-FAST
(802.1x), and Cisco LEAP. The Ethernet to Wireless Bridge
solution you want to use to connect the Fluorostar device
to the wireless network must support the same method
to connect to the network.
IEEE802.1X (Enterprise) Authentication Settings

To use an authentication method that requires a
certificate, import the certificate file.

Upgrade Procedures
1 In the Web configuration interface of the WiFi module,

click Wireless LAN Configuration - Detailed
Configuration.
2 On the Detailed Configuration page, enter the
settings for the IEEE802.1X authentication and the
MAC address of the IPC in Network Device Address
and click Submit.
* Settings will vary depending on the IEEE802.1X

authentication mode you select.
The message below is displayed after the setting is
updated. If a certificate is used for the selected
authentication type, click OK. If not, click Cancel and
proceed to step 6.
3 In the certificate configuration page, click Browse to

specify the certificate file to use.

Upgrade Procedures
4 After the certificate file is specified, click Submit.
* The certificate will differ depending on the IEEE802.1X

authentication type you select.
5 After the certificate is registered, the message below

will be displayed. Click Cancel.
(If you need to continue configuration, click OK. If OK is

clicked, the WiFi module will not be restarted.)

Upgrade Procedures
6 The WiFi module will be restarted and the IEEE802.1X

authentication will take effect.
