(SMX-225CT) Status on the X-ray Panel Unit

(SMX-225CT) Status on the X-ray Panel Unit
Category : 

Answer

The three-digit status display on the X-ray panel unit can display a blinking code, which indicates an error state, in addition to the solidly indicated 000 and 001 codes. If several different statuses occurred at the same time, up to 4 statuses can by cyclically displayed, starting from the code with the largest number. No more than four statuses are displayed.
After checking the status, press the [RESET] button next to the status display to clear the displayed status.
If any of the following events occur, contact a Shimadzu sales or service representative.
• The system does not return to its operable state
• A status other than normal state (000) appears frequently
• Troubleshooting for the corresponding status is unclear
 
000: Operation is normal.
 
001: Normal (Turbo molecular pump high load)
  The operation status is normal, but the turbo molecular pump is operating on high load. This status may be displayed when the system is powered on.
→If this status is displayed for several days, consider an overhaul of the turbo molecular pump and the diaphragm pump.
 
100: X-ray stoppage due to communicat ion error
  Indicates that X-ray turned OFF because communication with PC was interrupted during X-ray emission.
→Check for looseness in PC and HVC unit communication cable connectors.
 
101: X-ray stops when X-ray key switch is turned OFF
  Indicates that the X-ray key switch on the X-ray panel unit was turned OFF while X-ray emission was ongoing.
 
102: X-ray stoppage due to open sliding door
  Indicates that X-ray turned OFF because sliding door was opened during X-ray emission.
 
103, 104: X-ray stoppage due to open top-left door of shield box
  Indicates that X-ray turned OFF because top-left door of shield box was opened during X-ray emission.
→Check that the door mounting screws are securely tightened.
 
105: X-ray stoppage due to vacuum error
  Indicates that X-ray turned OFF because vacuum loss occurred during X-ray emission.
→Generate X-rays when there is a sufficiently low degree of vacuum (at or below approximately 10).
 
106: An instrument error occurred.
 
107: X-ray stoppage due to open maintenanc e door
  Indicates that X-ray turned OFF because maintenance door was opened during X-ray emission.
→Check that the door mounting screws are securely tightened.
 
108: X-ray emission stopped due to turbo molecular pump error
  This status indicates that X-ray emission was turned OFF due to a problem with the turbo molecular pump.
→Check for looseness in the turbo molecular pump cable connector.
 
110: Inverter over-current
  Indicates excessive current of high-voltage inverter, or internal FET temperature that exceeds allowable temperature.
111: Inverter over-voltage
  Indicates excessive voltage of high-voltage inverter.
112: Tube over-voltage
  Indicates tube voltage that is higher than the allowable voltage.
113: Tube over-current
  Indicates tube current that is higher than the allowable current.
119: Reset when X-ray is ON
  Indicates that X-ray control CPU was reset during X-ray emission, due to discharge noise or power supply interruption.
→This may occur due to discharge of X-ray tube. Perform warm-up.
    If this error occurs frequently, consider an overhaul.
    In addition, these errors may be displayed when warm-up is performed, even if operation is normal. If operation is normal, the error display will be automatically cleared.
 
200: Communication error
  Indicates that communication with PC was interrupted.
→Start the CT software.
 
201: X-ray key switch is turned OFF
  Indicates that the X-ray key switch on the X-ray panel unit is turned OFF.
→Turn ON the X-ray key switch.
 
202: Sliding door open
  Indicates that the CT unit control power supply is OFF, or the sliding door is open.
→Turn ON the [OPERATE] key switch on the operation box and close the sliding door.
 
203, 204: Top-left door of shield box open
  Indicates that the top-left door of the shield box is open.
→Close the top-left door of the shield box.
 
205: Vacuum error
  Indicates a poor degree of vacuum that prevents X-ray emission.

→Close the maintenance door.
 
208: Turbo molecular pump not ready
  This status indicates that the turbo molecular pump has not reached the specified rotation speed.
→Wait a moment after turning on the power. If this display does not disappear after 10 minutes, turn OFF the X-ray generator circuit breaker on the HVC unit and then turn it back ON after 10 minutes.
 
220: Extension interlock
  Indicates that the [EX STATUS] terminal on the HVC unit is OFF. 
  In addition, this terminal is short-circuited when using this system.
→Check whether the [EX STATUS] short-circuit connector is disconnected.
 
331: Cooling water error
  Indicates poor flow of cooling water.
→Replenish the cooling water. Also, check that there are no cooling water leaks.
 
342: Broken filament
  Indicates that the filament is broken. Check when X-ray is OFF.
→Replace the filament. Click here for "(SMX-225CT) Replacing the Filament".

559: Focus coil system error
  Indicates that the focus coil of the lens has deteriorated.
→Check for disconnection of the lens cable. 
    X-ray emission is possible even when these errors are displayed. 
    However, due to the risks described on the left, consider an overhaul.
 
602: Electromagnetic lock monitor error
  Indicates that the electromagnetic lock is not working properly.
→Check that the sliding door is securely closed. 
    After that, press the [RESET] button on the panel unit to reset the status display.

  Indicates overheating of the transistor that controls the lens current in the HVC unit.
→Wait for approximately 1 minute. After that, press the [RESET] button to reset the status display.
 
679: Transistor thermistor disconnection
  Indicates a disconnection or failure of the temperature sensor that monitors the transistor temperature.
→If the error is not cleared after pressing the [RESET] button, an instrument error has occurred.
