X-RAY WARNING
ATTENTION
Les appareils à rayons X sont dangereux à la fois pour le patient et pour le manipulateur si les
mesures de protection ne sont pas strictement appliquees
Bien que cet appareil soit construit selon les normes de sécurité les plus sévères, la source de rayonnement X représente un danger lorsque le
manipulateur est non qualifié ou non averti. Une exposition excessive au rayonnement X entraîne des dommages à l’organisme.
Par conséquent, toutes les précautions doivent être prises pour éviter que les personnes non autorisées ou non qualifiées utilisent cet appareil
créant ainsi un danger pour les autres et pour elles-mêmes.
Avant chaque manipulation, les personnes qualifiées et autorisées à se servir de cet appareil doivent se renseigner sur les mesures de protec-
tion établies par la Commission Internationale de la Protection Radiologique, Annales 60 : Recommandations de la Commission Internationale
sur la Protection Radiologique et les normes nationales en vigueur.
WARNING
X-ray equipment is dangerous to both patient and operator unless measures of protection are
strictly observed
Though this equipment is built to the highest standards of electrical and mechanical safety, the useful x-ray beam becomes a source of danger
in the hands of the unauthorized or unqualified operator. Excessive exposure to x-radiation causes damage to human tissue.
Therefore, adequate precautions must be taken to prevent unauthorized or unqualified persons from operating this equipment or exposing them-
selves or others to its radiation.
Before operation, persons qualified and authorized to operate this equipment should be familiar with the Recommendations of the International
Commission on Radiological Protection, contained in Annals Number 60 of the ICRP, and with applicable national standards.
ATENCION
Los aparatos de rayos X son peligrosos para el paciente y el manipulador cuando las normas de
proteccion no estan observadas
Aunque este aparato está construido según las normas de seguridad más estrictas, la radiación X constituye un peligro al ser manipulado por
personas no autorizadas o incompetentes. Una exposición excesiva a la radiación X puede causar daños al organismo.
Por consiguiente, se deberán tomar todas las precauciones necesarias para evitar que las personas incompetentes o no autorizadas utilicen
este aparato, lo que sería un peligro para los demás y para sí mismas.
Antes de efectuar las manipulaciones, las personas habilitadas y competentes en el uso de este aparato, deberán informarse sobre las normas
de protección fijadas por la Comisión Internacional de la Protección Radiológica, Anales No 60: Recomendaciónes de la Comisión Internacio-
nal sobre la Protección Radiológica y normas nacionales.
ACHTUNG
Röntgenapparate sind eine gefahr fÜr patienten sowie bedienungspersonal, wenn die geltenden
sicherheitsvorkehrungen nicht genau beachtet werden
Dieser Apparat entspricht in seiner Bauweise strengsten elektrischen und mechanischen Sichereitsnormen, doch in den Händen unbefugter
oder unqualifizierter Personen wird er zu einer Gefahrenquelle. Übermäßige Röntgenbestrahlung ist für den menschlichen Organismus

Introduction
3. PRESENTATION
Senographe 2000 D is the new Digital Mammography System from GE Medical Systems. It has been
designed to perform Screening examinations as well as Diagnostic Views (including Spot compression
Magnified and/or Coned views). It is a
modular system that eliminates the need for film cassettes, and
takes advantage of digital technology, including on-screen image display, Networking, Filming, and
Archiving.
The Senographe 2000D is equipped with a dual track X-ray tube (molybdenum/rhodium) and a digital
detector. The digital detector is a flat panel of amorphous silicon on which cesium iodide is deposited to
maximize detection of X-rays. Positioning operations and X-ray exposure are controlled by the Control
Panel which also controls power to all parts of the Senographe 2000D system.
1. Senographe 2000 D's digital technology offers the capability to acquire Images in near-real time and
to process them, with the ability to vary brightness and contrast levels and manipulate images.
2. It also offers high examination productivity as compared with screen/film, and introduces new appli-
cations such as Networking and Archiving.
3. Senographe 2000 D is built on the DMR Platform, recognized for Image Quality superiority. The
Rhodium spectrum of the Senographe 2000 D's tube is well adapted to Digital Imaging.
The Senographe 2000D includes an acquisition work station ("AWS") monitor, keyboard and mouse,
computer, electronics, accessory storage, and uninterruptible power supply. The AWS is used for
image acquisition, processing, and display. The AWS can also be used for database management,
and can send images to archive, review, or filming.
4. The Acquisition Workstation displays acquired images in the room, allowing immediate evaluation of
breast positioning and possible motion blur, or adjustment of brightness and contrast.
Archiving, Networking, and Filming are all possible from the Acquisition Workstation, which can pro-
duce any number of equally high quality film copies as needed.
A hard-copy laser-film printer is used for image interpretation. Printer window width and window level
are set automatically, based on the image content. Images are displayed per film 1 on 1.
Several options are available for use with the Senographe 2000D system. These options include a
Senographe 2000D review workstation (not to be used for final interpretation of examinations), a
mass archiving system, a laser camera, networking capabilities, and CD-ROM interchange media.
5. The optional Review Workstation is a stand-alone workstation, with its own dedicated computer and
image database, connected to the Acquisition workstation by a high speed link. It supports image dis-
play and manipulation.
This powerful computer is equipped with two dedicated, very high resolution B & W monitors and a
dedicated keypad. Networking is possible from this workstation, as well as printing and receiving
images from an archive device.

4-1. Overview
1. The Senographe 2000 D Gantry is equipped with a digital detector. Positioning operations and X-ray
exposure are controlled by the Control Panel, usually mounted on a protective screen, which also
controls power to all parts of the Senographe 2000 D system.
2. The Senographe 2000 D includes an Acquisition Workstation (AWS) monitor, keyboard and mouse,
computer, electronics, accessory storage, and UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply).
3. Accessories (standard and optional).
The following sections describe each of these components.
4-2. Senographe 2000 D X-ray System
The Senographe 2000 D is equipped with a dual track X-ray tube (molybdenum/rhodium) and a digital
detector. Mammographic examinations can be made with patients standing or sitting; both contact and
magnification views are available.
Images are acquired by direct digitization; they are displayed immediately on the AWS monitor and are
stored for later diagnostic review. They can be processed and/or filmed.
AOP (Automatic Optimization of Parameters) and manual setting modes are provided for control of X-ray
parameters; the system provides auto-collimation and other leading features.
4-3. Digital Detector and Image Receptor
The Digital Detector is built into the Image Receptor, shown below. It is a flat panel of amorphous silicon
on which cesium iodide is deposited to maximize detection of X-rays and transmission of light photons.
The high definition digital images produced are sent to the acquisition workstation for visualization and
processing.
The upper surface of the Image Receptor is a removable grid (Bucky). When the grid is not required, it is
easily removed and replaced by an optional Breast Holder without grid.

appropriate. Facing the front panel (with switches), cable entry is at the bottom of the left-hand side of
the cabinet.
5. When you are satisfied that all equipment is in its
correct position and unlikely to be moved, and that
the cables have been correctly routed, open up
any excess length of the black flexible conduit at
the Generator Cabinet end. Cut it to the correct
length for clamping at the cabinet entry point.
6. Clamp the white cable harness as shown. Secure
the black conduit in the U-shaped clip mounted
under the clamp.
7. Separate the cables and tubes contained in the black
harness. The electrical cables (A) will be routed first.

WARNING
It is important that the instructions given for routing the two water tubes are carefully fol-
lowed. Only the insulated parts of the tubes should pass through the cabinet; any excess
must be coiled below the cabinet as specified. If these instructions are not followed, the
heat of the cabinet can affect the temperature of the detector cooling water and make cor-
rect detector temperature control impossible.
This section gives requirements for routing cables and tubes in the Generator Cabinet. Before perma-
nently securing any item, be sure that you have studied and understood all the requirements of the con-
nections described in this job card. It may be necessary to try different arrangements for excess cable
before finally deciding on the best cable routes.
• Any excess length of water tubes is coiled on the floor in the space beneath the bottom of the cabinet.
• Any excess length of electrical cables is coiled in the space above the cabinet cable entry, over the
guide provided at the top of the space and down to the clamping bracket at the bottom of the cabinet.
• Any excess length of air tubes is coiled with the electrical cables.
Take great care not to allow the air tubes to pinched by the weight of cables.
• Make connections and route cables in the order given:
- Black harness and Console cables; see section

Cart to Gantry cables are already connected in the cart; they leave the cart through a black tubular con-
duit.
1. Run the cable conduit from the cart to the gantry (through floor or
wall ducting as appropriate).
2. If the conduit is too long, remove the securing ring (A), cut off the
excess at the gantry end, and replace the securing ring.
3. Starting with the biggest connectors (to ease the task of routing
the last cables), pass the cables through the opening (B) at the
bottom of the gantry.
4. Identify and connect the cables as described in the following sec-
tions.
5. After all connections have been made, secure the conduit by fit-
ting the securing ring (A) into the fork at the bottom of the gantry
as shown. Coil any excess cable inside the gantry and secure
with cable ties.
5-2. Gantry Connections
Identify and connect the cables in the gantry, using the following table and illustrations.
WARNING
Fiber-optic cables are more easily damaged than electrical cables; handle them with care. Note:A small protective cap protects the cable end; remove it before connecting. The connectors are keyed; if they are difficult to connect, check that the key is
correctly oriented.

3. SAFETY PROCEDURES
During the procedures in this Job Card, you will be in close proximity to circuits operating at line voltage -
take appropriate precautions.
4. PREREQUISITES
You must follow the chronological order given in the Installation Job Card Installation Steering.
Note:
Make sure the console is connected to the DMR generator.
5. PROCEDURE
If the resistance at the line input to the Senographe generator is too high, there will be a significant volt-
age drop when the generator draws maximum power. This procedure checks that the resistance is within
acceptable limits.
5-1. Preparation
1. Switch off the DMR; set the generator power switch 200-S1 to the 0 position.
2. Disconnect voltage selection wire SEL from its lug on the generator board 200-PL1; reconnect it to
the 0 V lug.
Notice:!
The 0 V position of the SEL wire is reserved exclusively for this line resistance measurement. The
Senographe cannot function normally when the SEL wire is in this position. Do not attempt to
switch on the Senographe at this point - follow the instructions below.
3. Connect the ac voltmeter to the input end of the power switch 200-S1; Note and write down the
observed value of the open-circuit line voltage V1:
V1 = ......................................
5-2. Procedure
1. Turn the AC supply on: set the generator switch 200-S1 to the 1 position.
Note:
Read the next step completely before performing it. You will have only 3 seconds to read the volt-
meter; if you miss the reading you will have to wait about 15 minutes to repeat it.
2. While looking at the voltmeter, press the power-on switch on the generator board 200-PL2. During a
period of three seconds, a resistive load (power resistors R1 and R4 on the generator board) is con-
nected across the line input, causing a drop in the voltage reading on the voltmeter. Note and write
down this closed circuit voltage:

CAUTION
These procedures produce X-rays. Be sure to take appropriate precautions.
4. PREREQUISITES
This procedure should only be used when the performance of Installation Job Card Calibration of X-ray
Tube Heater Current
has been impossible due to excessive arcing.
5. PROCEDURE
This procedure is to be used for re-starting an X-ray tube which was known to be good upon leaving the
factory, but now exhibits arcing after a long period of inactivity.
The principle is to take a series of 12 pre-determined exposures, starting at low kV values and progres-
sively increasing towards high kV values. If arcing occurs during an exposure, some or all exposures are
automatically repeated. If persistent arcing occurs, the warm-up procedure is automatically terminated.
Proceed as follows:
4. Start from application mode. Change the position of the installation menu enable switch (switch B1 on
generator CPU board 400-PL3).
Note:
This must only be done if the Senographe DMR has been switched off since the last access to
SETUP/GENE/INSTAL or SETUP/ARM/VALID/INSTAL.
5. Select SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/GENE/TUBE/WarmUp on the console. The track/kV combina-
tion for the first exposure should appear on the console display.
6. Press the 2nd trigger button and HOLD IT DOWN while the exposures are taken.
Note:
There is a time delay of 10 seconds between exposures. You can release the 2nd trigger button
during this 10 second period, then press it again to continue, but the minimum time between ex-
posures will still be 10 seconds. If the tube overheats at some point, exposures will be inhibited

1. INTRODUCTION
• This Job Card provides an introduction to use of the Gantry Control Console, its menu structure, etc.
ILLUSTRATION 1 - SENOGRAPHE CONTROL CONSOLE
2. HOW TO USE THE CONTROL CONSOLE
2-1. Basic functions
Console functions for the normal application are described in the Operator Manual; other operating
modes are summarized below.
•
Access to functions. Press one of the console function keys to select a displayed function or menu
choice, which in turn may display a new set of menu selections. Continue selection until the required
function is displayed.
•
Exit. To go up (back) one level in the menu structure, press the SETUP key on the console once.
•
Selection functions. These functions require simple selection of a menu choice from a display of
options or values; confirm the choice by selecting VALID.
•
Modification functions. These functions allow a displayed value or parameter to be changed by rota-
tion of the console kV knob. When the required value or parameter is displayed, confirm the selection
by selecting VALID.
•
Calibration functions. Some calibration functions require the 2nd trigger button to be pressed in order
to perform the calibration.
WARNING
NEVER modify a Senographe 2000 D parameter value that has already been calibrated
unless you have a specific reason. If you do, it will usually be necessary to enter the
default parameter value and completely re-calibrate the generator or gantry for the
affected parameter(s).
2-2. Application and Installation modes
Throughout the service documentation, reference is made to application mode and installation mode.
•Application mode. The normal operating mode; the Gantry enters application mode when it is pow-
ered up, regardless of previous settings. In application mode, the six function keys below the display
window carry out the functions indicated by their symbols (focal spot, track, filter, etc.).
For information on using the Console in application mode, refer to the Operator Manual.

Job Card CFG 001 - The Control Console •Installation mode. Provides special setup functions. To enter or leave installation mode, press the
SETUP key on the console once.
In installation mode, the six function keys below the display window carry out functions or menu
selections which depend on the current procedure. The choice is indicated by a label displayed above
the key. The illustration below shows typical console displays before (left) and after (right) entering
installation mode. The normal key symbols (shown shaded) no longer apply, and in the example
shown two of the keys (shown shaded) have no function; the remaining four carry out the functions
displayed above them (e.g., the left hand key now gives access to the GENE menus).
• Some special
installation menus are displayed only after changing the position of the installation
enable switch (see below).
2-3. Installation Menus
Installation Menus are special menus which allow specific Gantry or Generator installation procedures to
be performed. To access installation menus from application mode, proceed as follows:
1. Enter installation mode (press the SETUP key on the console once).
2. Change the position of the installation menu enable
switch (switch B1-8 on Generator CPU Board 400-
PL3).
Note that the original position of the switch is
not importan
t. When the system is powered up it
automatically enters application mode with installa-
tion menus disabled; the switch position at that time
is memorized as the "installation-menu-disabled"
position.
3. Two function keys are now labelled (on the display) as GENE and ARM. Select Gantry or Generator
installation menus as follows:
a.
For Gantry installation menus: press the key labelled ARM, then press the VALID key. The two
right-hand keys are now labelled INSTAL and MAINT. Press the INSTAL key to access installation
menus (the MAINTenance menu is not available during installation).
b.
For Generator installation menus: press the key labelled GENE. The VALID key is not required.
The two right-hand keys are now labelled INSTAL and MAINT. Press the INSTAL key to access
installation menus (the MAINTenance menu is not available during installation).
Notice:!
When you have finished using installation mode, you must switch off the Gantry before handing
over the machine to the user, to lock out access to installation mode.

To carry out a console self-test you must press five keys simultaneously. Refer to the illustration below.
Press and hold the two keys A, and press the three keys B.
2-5. Saved Parameters Checksum
Parameters resulting from installation or non-proprietary maintenance procedures are saved in memory
zones whose contents are not lost when the Gantry is switched off.
To perform the saved parameter checksum function CKSUM, select either SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/
CKSUM/CKSUM (for Generator parameters) or SETUP/ARM/VALID/INSTAL/CKSUM/CKSUM (for
Gantry parameters). You can now return to application mode without receiving a checksum error mes-
sage.
It is not mandatory to do a checksum each time you leave a menu. There is no risk of losing data if you
switch off the DMR displaying a checksum error.
2-6. Re-loading Default (Initial) Parameters
WARNING
These functions are not normally used after the Senographe 2000 D has left the factory.
To re-load generator or gantry default parameters (prior to any installation or calibration procedures), use
the appropriate CLEAR menu. This executes a software power-up comparable to the first hardware
power-up of the generator or gantry.
When the Generator CLEAR menu is used, the DMR returns to application mode (to return to installation
mode, you must change the position of the installation menu enable switch again).
When the Gantry CLEAR menu is used, the DMR returns to the gantry installation entry level (SETUP/
ARM/VALID).
After use of the CLEAR menu, a CHECKSUM ERROR message is displayed. All generator or gantry
calibration procedures must be performed, followed by a CKSUM to enable use of the new param-
eters.
WARNING
The generator CLEAR menu causes the recorded thermal condition of critical components
(tube, tube housing, generator, etc.) to be reset to the cold condition. This means that an
excessive temperature rise at the time that this menu is used may not be immediately
detected by the software thermal protection.

notation floating point format with four significant figures, as shown in the examples below:
-1.250E+3 (= -1250.00); +4.345E-1 (= 0.4345) +1.000E+0 (= 1.000)
2-8. Display of Parameter Values
To display parameter values on the Control Console, access the calibration menu for the procedure that
computes the parameter. Typically this is done at a menu choice between CALIB and PARAM. Select
PARAM to display the parameter value.
If the calibration procedure computes more than one parameter, turn the kV dial to display the
parameters in sequence.
2-9. Modification and entry of values
At menu points allowing entry of a measured value or modification of a parameter, there are two possible
selections: NEXT and VALID. Select NEXT to allow the first character to be entered (by changing the dis-
played character). Select NEXT again to enter the following character, and so on.
Use the kV dial to change the character being entered. Numeric or alpha-numeric characters are
displayed, according to the function. Parameters are entered or modified in scientific notation form (see
above). Select VALID when all characters are correctly entered. If you make a mistake, select NEXT
repeatedly until you arrive at the faulty value, then correct it by rotating the kV dial.
To exit the modification routine, press SETUP once.
Note:
Pressing the VALID key is effective ONLY when the entire value, including exponent, is displayed.
This means that if you correct a digit after making a mistake, as described above, you must press
the NEXT key repeatedly until the entire parameter value is visible before you can enter the new
value using the VALID key.
2-10. The DISP Parameter
• The DISP (display) parameter is provided to aid service procedures; it controls the display of certain
parameters after an exposure. When it is set to YES, the two groups of exposure parameters shown
in the table below are displayed alternately
:
Composition Breast composition
Thickness: Breast thickness in equivalent cm of plexiglass.
Prep dose: Dose for pre-shot (returned by IDC)
Prep kV: kV used for pre-shot
Prep track: Track used for pre-shot
Prep filter: Filter used for pre-shot
Delta grid: Delta time (ms) from end of X-ray emission to grid U-turn
To change the DISP parameter, access SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/CONFIG/DISP , and select YES or
NO. A CKSUM is NOT necessary because this parameter is not a saved parameter. When power is
turned off, the value of DISP is lost and reverts to NO at the next power-up.
Group 1: kV mAs mA Time Ih
Group 2:Composition Thickness Prep dose Prep kV Prep track Prep filter Delta grid

1. INTRODUCTION
This module provides information for initial configuration of a Senographe 2000 D system. It contains two
sections:
•
Configuration procedures. Procedures which are required to set up the system for local site condi-
tions.
•
Configuration check information. For use only if you suspect that certain important settings have
been changed; most settings are made in the factory and do not need to be changed on site.
2. CONFIGURATION PROCEDURES
2-1. Prerequisites
The system must have powered up and reached a stable state with no checksum error displayed on the
console.
• If, on the first power up, CHECKSUM ERROR (GEN) or ARM CHECKSUM ERROR is displayed, pro-
ceed as follows:
Reload the Generator or Gantry (or both) saved parameters, using the diskette (p/n 2152250) deliv-
ered in the accessories kit. This diskette is labelled with the same product locator number as your
Senographe 2000 D. Files are identified as Gxxxx.DAT (Generator) and Axxxx.DAT (Gantry/Arm),
where xxxx is the factory serial number. There should be no checksum error after correct reloading of
these parameters.
• Enable access to installation menus by changing the position of the installation menu enable switch
(switch B1-8 on generator CPU board 400-PL3) as described in the Job Card
The Control Console.

3. CONFIGURATION CHECK INFORMATION
Note:
It is not normally necessary to set the configuration parameters listed here. They are set to their
correct values in the factory, or by the link from the AWS. They are given here for convenience in
the event that you suspect that they have been changed, perhaps during trouble-shooting.
3-1. Set Date and Time
• The Generator clock is updated automatically by the AWS each time the DMR subsystem is powered
up (either alone or when the complete system is powered up). It is not normally necessary to change
it manually.
Note:
After a Generator CLEAR operation, the current date and the date of the last installation mode ac-
cess are both set to the Generator software release date; the time is set to 0:00:00. The current
date and time are updated at the next power up.
• The clock is used for the following functions:
- Thermal protection cooling algorithms, whether or not the generator is turned on.
- Recording dates and times in the error log.
- Recording the date of last access to installation mode.
• If it is necessary to change the date or time on the Gantry manually, note the following points:
- Dates (menu path: SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/CONFIG/DATE ) are entered in the form DD/
MM/YY; e.g., for February 14th, 2001, you must enter 14/02/01.
- Time (menu path: SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/CONFIG/HOUR ) is entered in 24-hour format;
e.g., for 3:13:27 pm you must enter 15:13:27.
3-2. Check X-ray Tube Housing Configuration.
• Select SETUP/ARM/VALID/INSTAL/CONFIG/TUBE/YES. (the X-ray tube housing is inclinable on all
Gantries).

Job Card CFG 004 - Check Supply Voltages 6. CHECK GENERATOR AND GANTRY DC SUPPLY VOLTAGES
6-1. Check generator DC supply voltages.
1. On generator CPU board 400-PL3, measure the DC voltage between TP110 and TP111 (GND). It
should be in the range +5.1±0.05 V. If necessary, adjust the voltage:
WARNING
The adjustment is made using the potentiometer located on the low voltage power supply unit (on the rear of the board mounting plate). To avoid any risk of electric shock, DO NOT TOUCH any of the other components on the supply (later models are protected by a transparent cover).
2. On generator interface board 400-PL2, measure DC voltage (+12 V nominal) between PT3 and PT4.
The voltage should be in the range +11.5 to +12.5 VDC.
3. On generator interface board 400-PL2, measure DC voltage (-12 V nominal) between PT5 and PT4.
The voltage should be in the range -11.5 to -12.5 VDC.
Note:
Voltages measured in steps 2 and 3 above depend on the +5 V adjustment mentioned in step 1.
6-2. Check gantry DC supply voltages.
1. On gantry power board 800-PL1, measure DC voltage (+27 V nominal) between terminals 3 and 1
(GND) of connector TB1. The voltage should be in the range +26 to +34 VDC.
2. On gantry CPU board 800-PL3, measure DC voltage (+5 V nominal) between TP110 and TP111
(GND). The voltage should be in the range +4.75 to +5.25 VDC.
Note:
Unlike the +5 V supply on the generator CPU board, the +5 V supply on the gantry CPU board can-
not be adjusted.
7. CHECK MAINS DISTRIBUTION RACK INPUT
If the above check for generator voltages was correct, this confirms that the correct voltage has been
selected for the generator input voltage.
Before switching power to the Mains Distribution Rack, check that the same voltage has been
selected for the Mains Distribution Rack transformer input tap.

Note:
Network Remote Hosts are not updated in the
/etc/inet/hosts file, but are found in the file /export/
home/sdc/Prefs/SdCRHosts
. For this reason, it is not possible to use ping, telnet, spray and sim-
ilar commands using the hostname. The internet address must be used instead. For example, to
ping the MR operator's console from the workstation, do not use /usr/sbin/ping MR01_OC0. In-
stead, use the internet address, e.g., /usr/sbin/ping 192.9.200.1.
Therefore, though it is not mandatory to declare hosts in the /etc/hosts file when using the SdC
NET protocol, we recommend you to do it in any case.

5-2. Ethernet Connection between AWS and Local Network
1. Route and connect the Ethernet cable from the network hub (provided in the Senographe 2000 D
networking kit) to the Ethernet network socket (C) on the AWS Cart patch panel. See illustration
below.
.
2. Connect the other local network devices to the hub. The hub connector positions used are not impor-
tant (except for special-purpose connector 8X, which must be left empty). However, you are recom-
mended to label the cables at the hub, to aid future trouble-shooting.
5-3. IP Addresses
This section explains how to change the Senographe 2000 D Hostname, IP address, subnet mask, and
other parameters
Each Senographe 2000 D system is given a default IP address during the factory check process. To
avoid conflicts (such as IP packet colliision) inside the customer network, this Senographe 2000 D IP
address should normally be changed at installation time to the recommended address given below.
For the RWS, printer(s), archiving device, etc., refer to their respective documentation.
Notice:!
If the system is connected to an external network (HIS/RIS, hospital network, etc.) the standard
recommended IP addresses may not be applicable. Suitable addresses will be defined by the GE
HNS consultant and the hospital network administrator.
Standard recommended IP addresses:
Senographe 2000 D: 192.1.1.100
RWS 192.1.1.110
Printer 192.1.1.120
Archiver 192.1.1.130
DMPU (CAD) 192.1.1.140
If more than one S2000 D is connected to the network, use adresses 192.1.1.101, 192.1.1.102, etc. Sim-
ilarly, if other devices are duplicated, add 1 to the recommended base address for each additional device.
Subnet mask:
ALL devices: 255.255.255.0

2. TOOLS REQUIRED

3. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

4. PREREQUISITES
The AWS must have been correctly installed and configured.
The local Network must have been correctly installed, and the Network Printers to be declared must have
been correctly installed and connected to the Network.
Make sure the following information is available before starting to install your printer:
• Internet address and Hostname of Network printer(s). This information can be obtained either from
the Network Administrator of the Hospital, or from the Needs assesment Form completed by the Net-
work Champions.
• Application Entity Title (A.E.T.) of Network printer(s). This information can be obtained from the
Printer Supplier.
• Dicom Port number of Network printer(s). This information can be obtained from the Printer Supplier.
5. PROCEDURE
5-1. Test the network connection to the printer
Once a network printer is connected to the network and set with an IP address, it should respond to
TCP/IP messages from another Host on the network (e.g., the AWS). Before declaring a printer on the
AWS, check the following:
• Log in as root on the AWS:
console login: root <Return>
Password: operator <Return> (factory loaded default root password)
• Type in the following command:
/usr/sbin/ping <IP_address_of_network_printer> <Return>
e.g.: /usr/sbin/ping 192.100.9.5 <Return>
<IP address of Network printer> is alive
Note:
Do not enter leading zeros in any of the four numeric fields separated by dots of the IP address.
e.g., do not type in 192.100.009.005, but type 192.100.9.5 instead.

GE Medical Systems Senographe 2000 D Acquisition System
Revision 0 Service Manual 2302228-100
Job Card CFG 009 - Declare Printers (Filming Devices)The "alive" answer from the system means that the Network printer can be reached from the Acquisition
Workstation system through the network.
If the system displays "unknown host", your printer may not be correctly declared on the network.
If the system displays "Network unreachable", you probably have given the printer an IP address incom-
patible with your Review Workstation's IP address. Check that they belong to the same network,
192.100.9.X, for example.

• True R.M.S. AC ammeter, e.g.: Fluke 8060, Fluke 87, Fluke 45. HP 3457A, Tektronix DMM 254.
• HV unit/cable adaptor, Part number 36003399.
Notice:!
IMPORTANT NOTE: To ensure accurate measurement:
• For ALL Digital Multimeters: The Autorange function MUST NOT be used, as it can lead to severe
measurement errors (>40% !!).
• For ALL Digital Multimeters: The Relative Measurement function MUST NOT be used to reset to zero
the natural offset displayed when there is no current measured. The offset is automatically reset to
zero by the principle of the rms measurement.
• Measurement configurations to be used are as follows:
- Fluke 8060: used with 20 A shunt in the 200 mV AC range (shunt reference: 80J10).
- Fluke 87: no shunt, in the 10 A AC range.
3. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
In case of equipment breakdown or service engineer error during this calibration proce-
dure, the resulting parameter values might become so unreasonable as to render the X-ray
tube filament supply circuit unusable. This can show up as an error message during power
up, and thus inhibit use of the calibration software. If this happens, the only way to cancel
the error is to manually re-enter the default parameter values (see section 10 for default
parameter values) and switch the Senographe DMR off and back on again before again
attempting a calibration.
4. PREREQUISITES
• If not already done, carry out any procedure(s) specified as Prerequisites for this Job Card in Job
Card
Calibration Interactions.
5. CALIBRATION OF HEATER CURRENT SCALE FACTOR
The objective is to determine the scale factor K and fixed offset VOF between the X-ray tube filament cur-
rent command from the software and the real filament current value obtained. Each tube track has its
own filament supply circuit, so this calibration procedure is to be performed for each of the two tracks.
DEFAULT PARAMETER VALUES ARE K = +9.450E+0 (9.45) AND VOF = +0.000E+0 (0.0).
5-1. Preparation
1. Turn the Senographe DMR OFF.
2. Open the HV converter control signal inputs by disconnecting flat cable WG8 from generator com-
mand board 400-PL1 connector XJ7. This eliminates any possibility of energy build-up in the HV unit

5. CALIBRATION OF X-RAY TUBE HEATER CURRENT
The objective is to determine the X-ray tube heater current required to produce the desired X-ray tube
anode current at a given kV value.
The calibration procedure must be performed on each of the four focal size/track combinations. Four rep-
etitions of the calibration procedure are therefore necessary.
Three exposures are taken automatically at different kV values. Using the results, the software calculates
the necessary parameters to determine the X-ray tube heater current needed to produce the desired X-
ray tube anode current for all possible kV values.
5-1. Preparation
• Place a lead cover on the top of the image receptor to protect the detector panel from excessive X-
ray doses.
• Enter installation mode on the console (change the position of installation menu enable switch B1 on
Generator CPU board 400-PL3 if the DMR has been switched off since the last access to install
menus,)

1. Open the work list and declare a new Patient called "X-ray Tube Heater current",
2. Select: SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/GENE/TUBE/HEATER/
focal size/track/CALIB.
Perform the calibration procedure first on the LF/MO focal size/track combination, then on the others
in any order (SF/MO, LF/RH, SF/RH).

CAUTION
Before proceeding to make exposures, be sure that the detector panel has been protected
from excessive X–ray doses as instructed (by placing a lead cover on the top of the image
receptor).
3. Press the 2nd trigger button and hold it down. The messages EXPOSURE NO 1, EXPOSURE NO 2,
EXPOSURE NO 3, and CALIBRATION END appear in sequence on the console display. The soft-
ware automatically performs the three exposures and the calculations.
Note:
1.Calibration time varies according to tube temperature. The message TOO WARM appears on
the console display when tube temperature is too high for taking the next exposure. It is not nec-
essary to hold the 2nd trigger button down while waiting for the tube to cool. However, do not exit
the calibration menu while waiting. As soon as the TOO WARM message disappears, continue the
calibration by pressing and holding the 2nd trigger button.
2. In case of arcing, the software re-attempts the same exposure automatically.
3. The calibration procedure includes an exposure at 40 kV. If for some reason this exposure is
impossible to perform (e.g. excessive arcing), tube warm-up may be necessary.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each of the remaining focal size/track combinations.
5. Carry out the following steps only if the warning message
Limited Ich (limited heater current) is dis-
played on the console at the end of the tube current calibration. This message indicates that one or
more filament heating current values were calculated above 5.6 A (but internally limited to 5.600 A
when stored in memory); the message is only a warning and is not associated with an error code.
Proceed as follows:
a. Access the DMR installation menu to read the heater parameters with the LF/MO combination
(the path is: SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/GENE/TUBE/HEATER/LF/MO/Param/I-Value ).
b. Explore the 28 kV/A combinations; note the kV values showing a current value equal to 5.600 A.
c. Repeat steps a and b for the LF/RH combination (there is a very low probability of current limita-
tion occurring in small focus).
d. Return to Application Mode (press SETUP).
e. Set the DMR for 2-point exposure technique at 60 mAs. Make an exposure for each kV point
detected at 5.600 A (LF/MO and LF/RH). Allow at least 60 seconds between each exposure.
f. Repeat steps a and b: If no more kV points are set to 5.600 A, the problem has been resolved. If
one or more points still show a current value of 5.600 A, repeat Calibration Job Card

tube anode currents displayed on the console display.
Note:
A lower mAs value would decrease the measurement accuracy.
5. Expected X-ray tube anode currents for each focal size/track combination are:

5. CALIBRATION OF X-RAY TUBE TILT
The objective is to determine the X-ray tube angle when in its reference position. This calibration is done
by taking an exposure with the field coverage depth limited by the anode geometry (and not by the rear
collimator blade), measuring this field coverage depth, and entering this depth into the DMR, which can
then calculate the X-ray tube angle when in its reference position.
Notice:!
DO NOT perform Tube Tilt Calibration unless it is strictly necessary (e.g., after tube replace-
ment or when there is clear evidence of bad calibration parameters).
BEFORE performing Tube Tilt Calibration, clear all detector calibrations (select
Service
desktop/Calibration/Detector
; then selectClear Calibrations and perform the clear procedure as in-
dicated on the screen).
AFTER performing Tube Tilt Calibration, it is essential to perform the following CAL Job Cards:
- Bad Pixel Calibration.
- Detector Gain Calibration (for all techniques).
- Conversion Factor Measurement.
- AOP Calibration.

5. DESCRIPTION
The calibration function automatically calculates and displays measurements indicating the position of
the X-ray beam in relation to the detector. It uses these measurements to determine whether the calibra-
tion was successful. If so, no further action is required.
If an error is signalled, you must use the displayed values to determine the source of the problem and
make appropriate adjustments before repeating the calibration. Two checks are required:
• Collimator Blade Parallelism. Use the displayed angles to check for correct parallelism of the two
pairs of collimator blades; adjust the collimator position if necessary.
• Lateral Centering of X-ray Beam. Use the displayed values to check for correct positioning of the
beam on the detector; adjust the beam position if necessary.
Notice:!
The
Collimator Blade Parallelism check must be completed, and any errors corrected, before mak-
ing the
Lateral Centering of X-ray Beam check.

Notice:The lucite must be clean and free from scratches. This is essential to avoid incorrect detec-
tion of dead pixels.
3. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
This procedure requires the use of X–rays; take all due precautions.
4. PREREQUISITES
• If not already done, carry out any procedure(s) specified as Prerequisites for this Job Card in Job
Card
Calibration Interactions.
• It is strongly recommended to perform bad pixel calibration when the detector has not been used for
a while (typically on a Monday morning if the detector is not used over the weekend).
• The temperature of the detector must be stabilized and within the specified range before commenc-
ing and during bad pixel calibration.
• The Senographe DMR must be in the Medical Application menu.
5. BAD PIXEL CALIBRATION
5-1. Description
A Bad Pixel is an Image Receptor cell which has a response curve very different from that of other cells
subject to the same dose, even after flat field correction. It thus provides no useful information, and
appears as a white or black pixel on the image. Bad Pixel Calibration is a process which uses a number
of acquisitions to identify such cells and store their positions in a Bad Pixel Map. The bad pixel correction
process, applied to acquired images, uses the map to replace the level read from each bad pixel with the
mean level of neighboring cells.
Notice:!
It is important that the phantom used in these procedures, and all surfaces in the beam (detector,
tube, etc.) are very clean and free from imperfections, which can affect the calibration.

tom (25 mm of lucite) on the Image Detector.
2. Open the Service Desktop; click the Calibration button and select
Detector Calibration.
3. Select
Bad pixel and Start; follow the on-screen instructions to run the calibration.
4. The IDC automatically acquires 16 offset images (no X-rays) and computes results.
5. When the offset acquisitions and calculations are complete, you are requested to install the Flat Field
phantom and make four exposures. The parameters are set automatically (Rh/Rh; 30 kV; 56 mAs).
Release the Prep and Expose buttons between each exposure.
6. You are requested to make a low dose exposure. The parameters are set automatically (Rh/Rh; 30
kV; 5.6 mAs).
7. You are requested to make a high dose exposure using the following parameters: (Rh/Rh; 30 kV; 80
mAs).
8. The IDC uses the acquired images to create the bad pixel map which will be used for subsequent
image correction. The bad pixel results are displayed on the screen in the form of a table indicating
Pass or Fail for all tested specifications.
5-3. Errors
•Exposure abort during calibration. If the X-ray exposure is aborted during bad pixel calibration, the
buzzer sounds and the calibration is terminated at the end of the current set of exposures. The cali-
bration must be re-started.
• If any failure is reported, check to see if the collimator blades are within the detector FOV. If so, cor-
rect the problem and try again.
•If an
Isolated bad pixels failure is reported, check detector temperature and repeat the calibration
when the temperature is correct.
•If a
Cluster or Bad Columns failure is reported, check the Flat Field phantom for imperfections such
as scratches or dust, and repeat the calibration after correction.
When a
Bad Columns failure is reported, also check that the floppy disk supplied with the detector
was correctly loaded when the Image Receptor was installed, as instructed in the D/R Job Card

The purpose of this procedure is to verify that the Half-value layer of the X-ray beam is adequate to min-
imize patient breast dose, while not so excessive that contrast is lost in the resultant image.
The tube yield is measured for all track/filter/focal spot combinations and the values used for skin dose
computation.
For each spectrum the HVL and tube Yield are determined and stored on the DMR, for use in the skin
dose and Mean Glandular Dose evaluation.
• The following techniques will be set automatically by the DMR Senographe:
• The calibration of each configuration (focal spot, track/filter) is independent of the results obtained in
other configurations.

7. AMBIENT LIGHT ESTIMATION
Conditions for ambient light estimation should be as close as possible to normal working conditions. Ver-
ify that the cart and monitor are oriented as they will be in normal use, and verify that the ambient light is
at the level desired by the customer. If, as recommended, the room has a a light dimmer, use it to adjust
the level as required.
For more accurate measurement, a gray reference card should be used; if this is not available, the side of
the monitor rear cover may be used as a substitute, as described below.
1. Set the RC1 for use as a light meter:
a. Press # 9 on the RC1 to select the RC1 processor.
b. Enter *10 to select the light measurement function.
2. Check that the light measurement units are set to cd/m
2
(this is the ISO unit of luminance, and should
be used for all procedures in this Job Card). To change the units proceed as follows:
a. Press # 9 on the RC1 to select the RC1 processor.
b. Enter *24 for direct access to the unit select function.
c. Enter + or - to toggle the selected unit between cd/m
2
(cd displayed) and foot lamberts (fL dis-
played). Note that 1 fL = 3.4 cd/m
2
.
d. Enter *10 to return to the measurement function.
3. Position the reference surface (from which the ambient light will be measured) as closely as possible
to the normal screen posiiton:
• If the gray reference card p/n 2110360 is available, place it against (and parallel to) the monitor
screen.
• If no gray reference card is available, rotate the monitor left or right to 90
°. The side of the monitor
rear cover will be used as the reference surface.
4. Position the RC1 toward the reference card or the monitor cover, at about 300 mm distance , Make
sure that no shadow (from yourself for example) can affect the measurement; record the measured
light value ML (in cd/m
2
) shown on the RC1.
5. Calculate the ambient light level IA
(in lux): IA = p x ML/RR, where RR is the Reflection Ratio of
the surface used. The table shows RR and values for the reference card and the monitor cover.

Notice:!
1. If the ambient light level is over 50 lux, image quality cannot be guaranteed; the customer must
be warned of the problem.
2. Screen luminance cannot exceed 275 Cd/m
2
(80 fL) without loss of resolution!
6. Note the result in the table at the end of the Job Card.
7. Remove the gray reference card or rotate the monitor to its normal posiiton.

5-1. Presentation
The object of mAs non-linearity calibration is to compensate for the non-linearity of exposure delivered
by the Generator at low mAs values, as used in AOP pre-exposure operations.
This procedure measures pre-exposure linearity deviation, and stores a correction factor in the DMR
menu, to be applied to the mAs value of all AOP exposures.
The correction factor is automatically calculated as:
MASPRE CORR = S
100
/ (25 x S
4)
, where S
100
and
S
4
are the signals measured in the 100 mAs image and the 4 mAs image respectively.

•To remove power from the complete system, switch off the external circuit breaker which con-
nects the system to the hospital supply. There are two circuit breakers inside the Generator Cabi-
net, one for the Gantry and Generator, the other for the Cart and imaging equipment. Switching off
one of these breakers removes power from only part of the system.
• Remember that the UPS will continue to supply power to parts of the Cart and imaging equipment
until it is shut down.
• NEVER switch off the UPS manually (risk of data loss).
• NEVER switch off power to the Conditioner except in emergency (risk of damage to the Detector if
the correct conditions of temperature and humidity are not maintained).
WARNING
In normal operation (circuit breakers closed):
Power is present in the Generator Cabinet, MDR, and AWS Cart at all times, even after the
AWS, UPS, and other components have shut down. Cart components remain powered by
the UPS for about two minutes after switch off. The 230 V supply to the Conditioner the
UPS, and the Light Box is maintained at all times.

5. PROCEDURE
This Job Card provides check lists for confirmation of the correct operation of power up and power down
sequences, and for the steady state conditions to be expected with power on or off.
• Refer to the Power Supply Schematic diagram overleaf for an overview of power connections.
• In normal operation, system power switches are used as follows:
Power comes from the hospital supply circuit breaker to the Generator Circuit Breaker and to a circuit
breaker in the MDR (the Main Distribution Rack; at the top of the Generator Cabinet), in parallel.
Both circuit breakers are normally left ON.
All subsystem power switches (items in the Cart, Conditioner, etc.) are normally left ON.
The system is normally switched ON using the ON switch (I) on the Gantry Console.
The system is normally switched OFF by clicking the System Off button in the AWS Browser
window. When switching off, wait for complete system and UPS shut down (about two minutes).
The Gantry and Generator can be switched OFF without affecting components in the AWS cart by
pressing the OFF switch (STOP) on the Gantry Console.

5. UPS FUNCTION CHECK
The LEDs and control buttons of the UPS front panel may be observed and accessed through the plexi-
glass panel at the front of the AWS Cart.
Notice:!
If you intend to re-calibrate the battery capacity indicator (procedure described below), you should
do this before the function check, to avoid an additional delay while the battery recharges.
Proceed as follows to carry out the function check:
1. With the system powered on as normal, observe the state of the front panel LEDs:
a. The On Line LED (B) should be lit.
b. If any of the remaining five status LEDs (A, C, D, E, F, G) are lit, the cause should be investigated.
c. The Load Indicator LEDs indicate the power being drawn from the UPS as a percentage of the
rated capacity. Normally, four LEDs or less should be lit.
d. The Charge/Line Voltage LEDs indicate the current state of battery charge. With all five LEDs lit,
the battery is fully charged. When the lowest LED flashes, the battery can supply less than two
minutes of run time; you must wait for the battery to recharge before using the system.

Job Card VF 003 - UPS Batteries 2. Start a UPS self test; press and hold the ON/TEST button until a beep is heard and the On Line LED
(B) flashes.
During the test the UPS briefly supplies the load from the battery; the On Battery LED (E) is lit. If
the test passes, the On Battery LED goes out and the On Line LED (B) again lights steadily.
If the test fails, the UPS returns to on-line status, but the Replace Battery LED (F) is lit. The
cause should be investigated.
3. To check the input voltage (hospital supply), press and hold the ON/TEST button for at least four sec-
onds (this will start a self test as above):
The Charge/Line Voltage LEDs now indicate the input voltage status; normally two, three, or four
LEDs should light.
If all five LEDs are lit, the input is more than 247 V; if one LED is lit or no LEDs are lit, the input is less
than 213 V.
6. BATTERY CAPACITY RE-CALIBRATION
About once a year, it may be desirable to re-calibrate the battery capacity indicator.
The procedure, including battery recharge, takes about one hour
Notice:!
It may not be possible to start this procedure immediately after the function check described above,
because it requires the battery charge to be 100% of capacity.
.Proceed as follows:
1. From the Service Desktop, click the
Diagnostics button, then the UPS button.
2. To prevent the system from being shut down during the calibration process, select
Configuration/
Event Actions, and then the UPS Battery is Discharged event; remove the check mark from the Shut-
down Server
box.
3. Note that the calibration process will not start if the battery charge is less than 100%. To display
Bat-
tery Capacity
(in place of Run Time Remaining), select Configuration/Monitoring Preferences, and
select the parameter to be displayed in the left hand graphical bar of the PowerChute interface.
4. Start the calibration process by selecting
Diagnostics/Initiate run Time Calibration.
5. Once started, the calibration process continues until battery capacity falls to 25% (the time from
100% to 25% is about 10 minutes).
With the AWS system powered off and power applied to the UPS, the battery takes 45-60 minutes to
recharge.
6. Before returning the system to normal operation, you must ensure that it will be shut down if battery
capacity is low:
- EITHER: In the PowerChute interface menu, select
Configuration/Event Actions, and select the
UPS Battery is Discharged event; click the Shutdown Server box to restore the check mark.
- OR: Log in as root in a command window; execute the command ups stop, then ups start.

5. GENERATOR TESTING
The objective is to check quickly the generator kV, mA and mAs calibrations, which have already been
done in the factory.
5-1. Set up generator for testing.
1. Configure the DMR for the following exposure:
- Mode manual (2-point)
- Focal spot: large
-Track: Mo
-Filter: Mo
-mAs: 60 (lower mAs value may give inaccurate measurements)
-HV: 22 kV
2. Activate display of parameters following an exposure by selecting SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/
CONFIG/DISP/YES on the console (see Job Card CFG 001 ). Return to application mode.
3. Connect the digital mAs meter to kV mA board 701-PL1 (on HV tank unit 701) between terminals
MES_MA_POS and MES_MA_NEG. Disconnect the jumper that is normally between these same
two terminals.
4. Set the mAs meter to current (mA) measurement.
5. Protect the detector with 2.5 cm of plexiglass.
6. Open
New Patient in the Browser, and take 5 exposures at approximately 20 second intervals, incre-
menting the HV by 2 kV each time (i.e., 22 - 24 - 26 - 28 - 30 kV).
7. Take 5 more exposures at the same interval, leaving the HV set at 30 kV.
8. The X-ray tube current value displayed on the console (I
display
) must be 100 mA ± 5 mA

AND should
agree with the value read on the mAs meter (Imeasure) ± 5%.
If I

arcing is detected, perform the procedure given in the IST Job Card
Automatic X-ray Tube Warm-up.
10. Reconfigure the
Senographe DMR to 30 kV and 25 mAs. Take one exposure for each of the three
following focal spot/track combinations and verify the expected X-ray tube current reading on the con-
sole display:
SMALL FOCAL SPOT/MO TRACK => I = 40 mA ± 2 mA
SMALL FOCAL SPOT/RH TRACK => I = 40 mA ± 2 mA
LARGE FOCAL SPOT/RH TRACK => I = 75 mA ± 4 mA
11. Disconnect the mAs meter from the
DMR and reconnect the jumper on kV mA board 701-PL1.
12. Verify kVp using a non-invasive kVp meter and, if needed, perform Job Card CAL 005 (Calibration of
kV Scale Factor). This step may be mandatory, when required by local regulations.
6. GANTRY TESTING
The objective is to quickly check the basic functions of the gantry.
Note that the following functions are tested by the software during each power-up sequence:
- Filter holder rotation
- Lateral, front and rear collimator blade movement
- X-ray tube housing movement
- Compression paddle movement to home position
- Column movement limit stops
- Coherency between focal spot size, magnification and X-ray tube housing angulation
- Grid movement
- Generator-gantry communications link
- Gantry CPU board
6-1. Check gantry readout.
Immediately following the power-up sequence, the gantry readout should indicate the X-ray format.
6-2. Check column movement.
1. With the compression paddle out of compression, check that all four sets of column up/down control
buttons are operational (check each button for up and down movement of column).
2. Move column to its upper and lower limits. Optical sensors should stop movement. If optical sensors
have failed, mechanical safety stops halt movement. Total one-way movement time (going either up
or down) between upper and lower limits should be 16 ±2 seconds. This time includes initial acceler-
ation, which lasts 3 seconds.
6-3. Check arm rotation.
1. With the compression paddle out of compression, check that all four arm rotation control buttons are
operational (check each button for release and re-locking of arm rotation).
2. Rotate arm through its full range of ±180°. Check in several positions that electro-brake is sufficient,
by manual action on the handles.
3. Check alignment of angle markings at 0°.
6-4. Check light centering device.
Press one of the light centering device activation buttons. The light centering device should light for 30

seconds.
6-5. Check format control.
Check that repeated pressing of each of the two format control pushbuttons, gives the sequence:
1) light centering device lights; 2) first format reduction; 3) second format reduction; 4) full format.
6-6. Check magnification sensors.
1. With magnification device removed, the gantry readout should show a magnification of 1.0.
2. Install the magnification device into the lower, middle and upper holes successively. The gantry read-
out should show a magnification of 1.5, 1.8, and 1.9, respectively.
6-7. Check tube housing arm detents.
1. Activate the tube housing arm locking lever and rotate the tube housing arm to its ± 15° and ± 27°
detents. When tube housing arm is locked in each of these four positions, the error message
Incor-
rect X_Ray Incidence
should appear on the console display.
2. Rotate the tube housing arm so that it is "floating" between detents. After five seconds, the error mes-
sage
Tube Housing Arm Unlocked should appear on the console display and Arm Unlocked should
appear on the gantry readout.
6-8. Check paddle compression.
1. Verify that both sets of compression/decompression pedals and the manual compression knobs
located on the paddle holder all function correctly (i.e., the paddle moves up or down in response to
each command).
2. Use the mammo compression scale placed between the cassette holder and the compression paddle
to check calibration of the compression force display on the gantry readout. Measure one point at 5
daN and one point at 15 daN. The value on the gantry readout must agree within ±1 daN. If it does
not, perform Job Card CAL 006 (Calibration of Compression Force Detector).
Note:
If the recommended compression measurement tool is not available, this verification can be done
by lowering the paddle close to the top surface of the cassette holder, installing the magnification
device in the upper pair of holes, and connecting a spring dynamometer (calibrated from 0 to
15 kg) between the compression paddle and the magnification device.
6-9. Check breast thickness measurement.
1. Install the bucky and place 10 mm of plexiglass in the center of the bucky.
2. Lower the compression paddle into contact with the plexiglass.
3. Slowly increase compression force on the plexiglass while watching the breast thickness display on
the gantry readout. The displayed value should remain in the range 10 mm ±3 mm for any value of
compression force (as displayed on the gantry readout) between 5 and 15 kg.
4. Replace 10 mm of plexiglass with 50 mm of plexiglass and repeat the above check. Now the dis-
played value should remain in the range 50 mm ±3 mm for any value of compression force (as dis-
played on the gantry readout) between 5 and 15 kg.
5. If either or both of the above checks does not give a satisfactory result, perform Job Card CAL 007
(Calibration of Breast Thickness Measurement).

•Select ARM/VALID/INSTAL/CALIB/GRID/CALIB on the console.
- With the bucky present, the reponse should be CALIBRATION OK .
- If the bucky is not present or is not recognized, the response is GRID ABSENT.
6-11. Check emergency stop buttons.
Pressing either of the emergency stop buttons (located on either side of the gantry column base) should
result in a complete power-down of the generator and gantry (but not the AWS Cart).

• ACR standard phantom (16 cells Nuclear Associates 18-220 or RMI-156).
3. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
• Take all normal precautions when operating with X–rays.
4. PREREQUISITES
• The system must have been correctly installed and calibrated.
5. FLATFIELD TESTS
5-1. Objective
The flatfield test measures the ability of the detector to reproduce the image of a flat and homogeneous
phantom.
The ideal response of the detector is a uniform image with no large or small defects, with no pixel having
a signal much higher or much weaker than its neighbours, and with a uniform signal-to-noise ratio. The
quantities to look for are thus:
-Brightness uniformity: the magnitude of low frequency structures (large shapes).
-High frequency modulation: the magnitude of high frequency structures (small defects).
-Number and density of bad pixels: the number of pixels having signals significantly different
from those of their neighboors (new bad pixels appeared since the latest bad pixel calibration),
and the density of these bad pixels.
-Signal-to-noise ratio uniformity: the variation of signal-to-noise ratio over the image.
A test failure indicates incorrect test conditions (phantom position, cleanliness), or an artifact causing
inconsistency between the current image and the associated gain map. Such an inconsistency means
that either the gain calibration needs to be updated, or the current image contains a defect which must
be identified (see section 7). Possible sources of artifacts include the tube output window, the mirror, the
Molybdnenum filter, the collimator blades, and the detector.

GE Medical Systems Senographe 2000 D Acquisition System
Revision 0 Service Manual 2302228-100
Job Card VF 008 – IQ Tools Flat Field Test
5-2. Method
The flatfield image is analyzed by measuring the mean
signal level, the noise, and the number of new bad pix-
els in a moving analysis box (a 20 mm x 20 mm region
of interest scanning the flatfield image with a 10 mm
overlap). The total number of new bad pixels is
summed over the whole image.
The following checks are performed:
-Brightness uniformity (BNU): compute maximum deviation of the mean signals measured in
each ROI.
-High frequency modulation (HFM): measure the minimum signal–to–noise from all ROIs
-New bad pixels: detect and count all bad pixels in the whole image
-New bad ROIs: count number of regions of interest containing more than 2 bad pixels
-Signal–to–noise ratio (SNR) uniformity: compute maximum deviation of the SNR measured in
each ROI.
6. PROCEDURE
1. From the Browser, click on the QAP button, then select Flat Field Test.
2. Follow the on–screen instructions. You are asked to:
e. Remove the bucky or breast holder and the compression paddle, and to place the flatfield phan-
tom on the image receptor.
f. Verify using the light beam that the collimator is in full field of view.
g. Verify that the tube arm angle is 0 degrees.
h. Make two exposures using the parameters set automatically (Large focal spot; Mo/Mo; 26 kV; 200
mAs).
3. Use the middle-button mouse function to adjust the image for optimum viewing conditions. Sug-
gested starting values are WC = 3000 and WL =4500.
4. The system calculates and displays test results in a format similar to that shown below. The LSL and
USL columns show the minimum acceptable values (Lower Specification Limit) and the maximum
acceptable values (Upper Specification Limit) for each test.

7. CORRECTIVE ACTIONS IN CASE OF FAILURE
7-1. Brightness Uniformity test fails
Typical causes are:
1.
The flatfield phantom does not cover the full FOV;
check the position of the flatfield phantom. The flat-
field phantom must exceed the detector field of view
in ever
y direction.
2.
A collimator blade is within the FOV; make an ac
qui-
sition in the Medical application in the same condi-
tions as the flatfield test (flatfield phantom, MoMo,
26 kV, 200 mAs) and verify in the raw image that the
X-ray beam field covers the detector field of view by
adjusting the contrast such that window width is less
than 200. If collimator blades are visible at the bor-

7-3. BadPixels or Bad ROI test fails
7-3-1. Typical causes are:
1.
Dust is present on the flatfield phantom or the
ima
ge receptor; ensure that the phantom and the
image receptor are completely clean and run the
test again.
2. The flatfield phantom contains inclusions or is
scratched;
- Run the flatfield test, select bad pixel graphi-
cal window, locate the bad ROIs or bad pixels.
- Move the phantom, run the flatfield test again
and note whether the bad ROIs or pixels have
moved.
If you have difficulty in observing a moving
spot, repeat the test in application mode. After making an exposure, adjust the viewing contrast to
make the spot visible. Then move the phantom slightly, make a second exposure, and switch the
display from one image to the other to observe any movement in the spot of interest.
If the bad pixels move, there are some inclusions inside the phantom. Obtain a new phantom and
run the test again.
3. The collimator is visible in the field of view;
- Run the flatfield test, select bad pixel graphical
window, locate the bad ROIs or bad pixels.
Check that they are not concentrated on the bor-
ders of the image. If they are, check tube tilt, cen-
tering, parallelism and format calibrations.

4. Detector response is unequal at some rows, columns,
or groups of pixels;

- Check that there is no visible bad row or bad column
in the flatfield image displayed in the IQ tool viewer
(use the mouse middle button to adjust contrast and
brightness such that window width WW is less than
200). If necessary, take an image in the Medical
Application and use the AWS display tools.
- If there is a distinct bad row or a bad column
(exactly parallel to the detector matrix), or a distinct
cluster, calibrate bad pixels.
If the bad row, bad column, or or cluster is detected
in the bad pixel calibration and is above the Upper Specification Limit, the detector must be
changed. If not, calibrate gain in the MoMo/no grid configuration, and run the test again.
If gain calibration succesfully corrects bad rows or columns, use the ACR phantom to check the
correction. Place the ACR phantom so as to partially cover the suspect rows or columns (e.g., to
the left or top of the detector) and make an acquisition at MoMo/26 kV/100 mAs/no grid, so that
the detector is saturated outside the area of the phantom. Verify in the raw image that the rows or
columns do not appear again in the phantom area. If they do appear, contact your OLC; it is likely
that the detector must be changed.
7-3-2. Other possible causes are :
1.
Durin
g the last gain calibration, dust was present (on the flatfield phantom, image receptor, mirror, or
filter ), or the flatfield phantom contained inclusions or scratches; verify that the bad pixels do not
move with the phantom and that they persist after careful cleaning of phantom, image receptor, mir-
ror, and Mo filter. Calibrate gain in the MoMo/no grid configuration, move the phantom slightly, and
run the test again.
2.
Dust is present on the light beam alignment mirror or on the Mo filter; clean the mirror and Mo filter
without direct contact and run the test again.
3.
Metallic particles have been deposited on the tube output window; tilt and move the tube and verify in
the image or in the bad pixel graphical window that the bad pixels have moved after the tube move-
ment. If you are sure that particles are present on the tube output window, change the tube and per-
form the resulting calibrations. before repeating the test.

Typical causes are:
1.
The X-ray beam is badly centered; carry out the
CAL Job Cards for Tube Tilt Calibration, X–ray
Beam Alignment Calibration, and Collimator For-
mat Calibration.
2.
The detector sensitivity is not uniform; locate in the
graphical window the area having a poor SNR (low
mean signal or high standard deviation). Calibrate
gain in the MoMo/no grid configuration, and run the
test again. If the SNR uniformity result is still above
the Upper Specification Limit, call your OLC for a
possible detector replacement.
7-5. Final checks
Notice:!
If a new gain calibration was done, you are recommended to recalibrate all other gain configura-
tions.
After investigating and correcting the suggested causes of error, repeat the test.
If the test still fails, call your OLC.

• Standard toolkit with metric wrenches.
3. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
• Take all normal precautions when operating with X–rays.
4. PREREQUISITES
• The system must have been correctly installed and calibrated.
5. TEST DESCRIPTION
5-1. ACR Phantom
The phantom used in this procedure is a block of plexiglass containing 16 cells. Each cell simulates an
anatomical structure which may be found in breast tissue.
The plexiglass gives attenuation equivalent to a breast of average density compressed to a thickness of
45 mm.
Starting from the top left hand corner, as shown in the illustration,
the cells are of three types:
1. Fibres.
Six cells represent fibrous calcifications; they contain fibers
with sections from 1.56 mm to 0.40 mm.
2. Specks (Calcifications).
Five cells represent groups of specks or micro–calcifications,
with sizes from 0.54 mm to 0.16 mm.
3. Masses.
Five cells represent tumors or masses, with sizes from 2 mm
to 0.25 mm; each has a different attenuation.
5-2. ACR Score
The ACR Score check program obtains and displays an image of the phantom. After suitable adjustment
of the viewing parameters, the user notes the visibility of the object in each cell, using a three-point scale
of 1, 0.5, or 0. For each cell, score:
-1 If the object (fiber, mass, or group of six specks) is completely visible.
-0.5If the object is partially visible, according to the following guidelines;
Fibres; More than half of the fibre is visible.
Masses; The mass does not appear circular, but is visible.
Specks; At least two specks are visible
-0 For all other cases,

Job Card VF 009 - Image Acquisition and ACR Score6. PROCEDURE
1. Install the Bucky, with compression paddle.
2. Place the ACR phantom on the Bucky, against the chest wall side and laterally centered.
3. Lightly compress the phantom with the compression paddle.
4. Verify that the collimator is in full FOV and that the tube arm angle is 0 degrees.
5. Enter the Phantom IQ test. From the Browser, select: Tools Menu/Service Desktop/Image Quality/
New Acquisition/Phantom IQ.
6. The system applies suitable parameters. Make an exposure and display the image.
7. The image is displayed with standard parameters which may need adjusting for your system. Press
the right mouse button to display a two-item menu which allows you to select the middle button func-
tion. Use it either to control brightness and contrast (WL changes with vertical movement and WW
changes with horizontal movement) or to obtain the magnifying glass function. As a rough guide, it is
suggested that the contrast should be adjusted to obtain an on-screen displayed value for WW of less
than 200 for good viewing.
8. Obtain the best viewing conditions for an accurate assessment of the score (if necessary complete
the test and repeat it with the phantom in a better position) and observe the 16 cells in the phantom
image. Note the ACR score (1, 0.5, or 0, as described in the Test Description above) for each cell,
and total the scores for each type of cell (fibers, masses, speck groups).
9. A group of three on-screen sliders are displayed at the top right of the screen.For each type of cell,
move the on-screen slider (with the cursor on the slider, press and hold the mouse button while mov-
ing the mouse) until the correct score is displayed. Then click on OK to enter the score into the sys-
tem.
10. The results of the test are displayed in a format similar to that shown below. The LSL and USL col-
umns show the minimum acceptable score (Lower Specification Limit) and the maximum score
(Upper Specification Limit) for each item. The figures given here in the Measurement and Status col-
umns are for example only
.
11. The test is successful if the total score is 11 or more, with scores for masses of at least 3, for speck
groups of at least 3, and for fibers of at least 4.
In the example shown the total score is 11.5, but the test fails because the speck group score is less
than 3.
12. If the test fails, repeat the flatfield test and then try again. If the flatfield test passes successfully but
the ACR Score test fails, the cause must be identified and corrected before further patient examina-
tions are made.

1. IDC DIAGNOSTICS
Each time that the IDC sub-system is booted (powered up or reset), it carries out a series of diagnostic
self-tests, first under the control of the BIOS, then under software control. As each test is performed, a
corresponding code is displayed on the four-digit green LCD panel at the rear of the IDC unit.
1-1. BIOS Diagnostic Display
While the BIOS tests are running, the LCD displays two blank digits followed a two-digit code corre-
sponding to the current test. If a test detects an error or fails to complete, the tests are halted and the
code of the failing test remains displayed.
1-2. Software Diagnostic Display
• Three sets of software diagnostics are carried out. While these test are running, the display shows
X000, where X may be 1, 2, or 3.
• If all tests are completed without failure, the display shows
FFFF.
• If a test fails, the display shows a code in the form XXFF for two seconds. XX is a code correspond-
ing to the failing test. The tests then continue.
• On completion of the tests after a failure occurs, the display shows
F0FF.
2. ERROR DETECTION
• If the IDC halts with a display in the format FFFF, all power-up tests have passed without failure.
• If the IDC halts with a display in the format
--XX, where XX can be any number, a BIOS test has
failed. If the problem occurs again after reset, the recommended action is to change the IDC unit.
• If the IDC halts with a display in the format

1. INTRODUCTION
This Job Card lists error codes generated by the Gantry and Generator sub-systems (DMR) and dis-
played on the DMR Console. Each message may contain two codes, the
User error code and the Ser-
vice error code
(refer to the explanation below). Error codes containing a Service Error Code are listed
here; codes containing a User Error code are listed in the Operator Manual. Many messages contain
both, and appear in both manuals.
Refer to section 2
Error Code Structure for an explanation of the error code display.
Section 3
Gantry and Generator Error Codes lists the error codes, with corresponding error descrip-
tions. Where possible (mainly for recently developed codes), the list also includes the text of a displayed
error message, and suggestions for corrective action.
2. ERROR CODE STRUCTURE
Error codes are displayed on the DMR Console in the format shown here:..
• The User Error Code is the code given in the Operator Manual; it is easy to use and communicate,
and gives sufficient information for use by the customer.
It includes a code for the type of error (
a) and a message number (bb). The example given, E55, indi-
cates that a tube angulation fault has occurred which caused exposure inhibition,
-
a: Type of error:
I: Warning; exposure not inhibited.
S: Warning; exposure inhibited.
E: Fault; exposure inhibited.
K: Fault; power shut down for safety.
-
bb: Message number indicating the origin of the fault.
• The Service Error Code is the code used in this document; it gives more information, and is recom-
mended for use in GE internal communication. It includes two reference codes:
-
ccc: Indicates the affected subassembly (hardware or software). The example given, 161, indi-
cates a tube housing fault.
-
ddd: Indicates the origin of the fault The example given, 013, indicates that no reference crossing
was detected during tube movement.
• The following abbreviations are used in the error code descriptions:
IST: Installation
MNT:Maintenance
VRTX: Real time operating system
• Software errors. Many of the codes are described as
software errors (e.g., 002/001; Gene. CPU soft-
ware error). These errors should never occur. If they do, and especially if they are repeated, please
contact Service Engineering with as much information as possible (including a copy of the error
codes file on diskette).

1. INTRODUCTION
This Job Card describes Sun-VTS diagnostic procedures for the AWS (Acquisition WorkStation)
The AWS consists of a Solaris workstation, some components connected externally (e.g., modem) and a
set of subsystems. AWS diagnostics include diagnostics for the workstation hardware, software pro-
cesses in the workstation, and connection to the subsystems.
The objective of the diagnostics is to test AWS hardware components, locate any non-functional sub-
system, and then locate a non-functional FRU (Field Replaceable Unit).
1-1. Access to the tests
There are three ways to launch an AWS diagnostic:
• From a command window as
sdc or root user (local use only)
• From the prompt
ok (local use only)
2. COMMON PROCEDURES
2-1. Open a command window
Rightclick on the screen background; select Service tools and then select a Command window from root
menu.
2-2. Go to ok prompt
1. Open a command window
2. Log in as user
root
3. Type the command: halt
4. At prompt ok, type the command: setenv auto-boot? false
5. At prompt ok, type the command: reset
2-3. Relaunch AWS application

Job Card DIAG 003 - AWS File System and SCSI Board DiagnosticsChapter 8
1. INTRODUCTION
This Job Card describes diagnostic procedures for the AWS (Acquisition WorkStation) File system and
SCSI board.
The AWS consists of a Solaris workstation, some components connected externally (e.g., modem) and a
set of subsystems. AWS diagnostics include diagnostics for the workstation hardware, software pro-
cesses in the workstation, and connection to the subsystems.
The objective of the diagnostics is to test AWS hardware components, locate any non-functional sub-
system, and then locate a non-functional FRU (Field Replaceable Unit).
1-1. Access to the tests
There are three ways to launch an AWS diagnostic:
• From a command window as
sdc or root user (local use only)
• From the prompt
ok (local use only)
2. COMMON PROCEDURES
2-1. Open a command window
Rightclick on the screen background; select Service tools and then select a Command window from root
menu.
2-2. Go to ok prompt
1. Open a command window
2. Log in as user
root
3. Type the command: halt
4. At prompt ok, type the command: setenv auto-boot? false
5. At prompt ok, type the command: reset
2-3. Relaunch AWS application
1. At prompt ok, type the command: setenv auto-boot? true
2. At prompt ok, type the command: reset
3. Log in as sdc user
2-4. Change user
Type the command: su - username and enter your password.

Job Card DIAG 003 - AWS File System and SCSI Board Diagnostics
3. FILE SYSTEM FSCK TEST
• Type: Unix command
• Description:
This test checks the file system. It must be launched when file system is suspected to be corrupt (station
has been powered off manually, files can not be found, boot does not succeed, or some basic system
functions are not available). These problems are detected by the operating system during the boot and
the user is warned to run fsck.
• Procedure:
1. Shutdown the station
2. Log in as root
3. Type the command:
fsck -y
4. Type the command: echo $status
5. If the result is not equal to 0 or 40:
a. Backup the AWS configuration on floppy (see D/R Job Card
Backup and Restore) if not done
since the last configuration modification.
b. Re-install the AWS system from scratch (see D/R Job Card
AWS Software Install)
4. SCSI BOARD TESTS
• Type: Open boot command
1. Go to prompt ok
2. Type the command:
probe-scsi-all
3. Relaunch AWS application
• Result interpretation:
If no SCSI identifier is found, the SCSI board is faulty.
On a system with a cd-writer, two identifiers should be detected, the SCSI controller itself and the CD-
writer.
An example of a result showing two SCSI identifiers is given below:
/pci@1f,0/pci@1/pci@1/SUNW,isptwo@4

5-2. Encoder Board
• Before reinstalling the compression motor, check
for the presence of washers (A) between the fingers
of the black supporting bracket and the spacers on
which the encoder board is mounted.
• If these washers are present, remove them ( to
move the board further away from the motor axis).
• To assist in adjustment after reinstallation, it may be
useful to place a mark on the side of the LED
assembly to indicate the position of the center of
the LED.
5-3. Installation of compression motor and small belt
Refer to Illustrations 1 and 2.
• To install the compression motor and small belt, carry out the above operations in reverse order (8
thru 1).
• Do not tighten the four mounting screws (Illustration 2, items S7 to S10) until the adjustment
described below has been carried out. They are used to tension the small toothed belt by moving the
motor on its mounting plate, and to position the encoder board with respect to the encoder wheel.
5-4. Adjustment
1. Tension the belt by pushing the motor (to the left in the
illustration). Take care to avoid excessive belt tension.
2. Tighten the two right hand screws.
3. Position the encoder board so that the encoder LED is
positioned at the center of the encoder wheel slots(if you
have marked the side of the LED assembly use the mark
as a guide), by pusing the board assembly away from the
motor axis (down in the illustration).
• It is important that the rotating wheel does not touch
any part of the LED assembly . If it does, it will generate
dust which will obscure the LED and cause failures.
4. When you are satisfied that the position is correct, tighten the two left hand screws.
5-5. Removal of large compression belt
Refer to Illustrations 1 and 2.
WARNING
The compression motor and small belt must be removed before the procedure described
below can be executed (see section 5-1).

• Blank DOS formatted HD 3.5 floppy disk.
2. TOOLS
• None.
3. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• No specific safety precautions are applicable.
4. PREREQUISITES
• None.
5. BACKUP/RESTORE PROCEDURE
Backup and Restore procedures are described on the following pages.
5-1. Introduction
When a Backup procedure is performed, the following operations occur:
•If a
Backup 1 file already exists on the AWS disk, it is renamed to Backup 2.
• A new backup file named
Backup 1 is created on the AWS disk. This contains:
- AWS configuration data.
- IDC configuration data.
- DMR data (Generator and Gantry parameters).
• The AWS configuration data may also be copied to a floppy disk. No IDC or DMR backup data are
written to the floppy.
It is possible to carry out a Restore procedure in several ways:
• AWS configuration data can be restored from
Backup 1 or Backup 2, from the backup floppy diskette.
• IDC data can be restored from the AWS disk file
Backup 1 or Backup 2.
• DMR data can be restored from the AWS disk file
Backup 1 or Backup 2.
Notice:!
A system backup is recommended after each change of configuration of any part of the system,
and after each set of calibrations.
A system backup is
not recommended after a single calibration or configuration change when the
change is to be followed by more changes. Each time that a system backup is made, the current
AWS file backup
Backup 2 is lost (overwritten by Backup 1), and this must be taken into account
when considering a new backup.

Job Card D/R 025 - HV and kV/mA tank 6. CHANGING THE KV/MA BOARD ONLY
• Changing the kV/mA board alone IS NOT RECOMMENDED (see Section 3, above). However, if the
change is absolutely necessary, the calibration procedure is given below:
1. Configure the Senographe DMR as follows:
- magnification device in position 1.9; Large focal spot; 2-point mode; 30 kV, 30 mA.
2. Place the RMI 233 probe on the magnification plate, in the center of the X-ray beam. Connect the
probe to an oscilloscope with memory facility; select scan 5 ms/division.
3. Execute an exposure and observe the beginning of the exposure waveform on the oscilloscope.
Adjust P1 to obtain the shortest rise time, with no overshoot, as shown in the waveform 1 below:
CAUTION
Incorrect adjustment results in wrong radiological thickness measurement during the pre-
exposure in AOP mode. When the adjustment is correct a normal exposure with 40 mm of
plexiglas in AOP mode, and an exposure aborted just after pre-exposure in the same con-
ditions, should display the same radiological thickness on the technical parameter display.
