Page 4: Introduction
X-ray device that produces X-ray pulses of very short duration (10 nanoseconds). The energy produced by the XRS4 is up to 370kVp, which makes it possible to radiograph up to one (1.5) inch (3.81 cm) of steel. XRS4 standard accessories are two keys, two battery packs, and one battery charger. Remote cable, carrying case, and film developing equipment are also common accessories. -

X-ray beam to 40 degrees. Special order collimators up to 85 degrees are available. BASE. The base of the XRS4 contains the identification label and a threaded ¼-20 insert that can be attached to any standard camera tripod. Identification label indicates the model, manufacturer, and serial number is located on the bottom of the XRS4 base. -

10 nanoseconds in duration is applied across the X-ray tube generating X-rays. The closing of the High Voltage Switch produces an audible pulsing sound. The XRS4 cannot produce x-rays with- out the pulsing sound so it serves as an additional warning the XRS4 is functioning. -

Page 11: Suggested Pulse Settings
If the radiograph is too light the film is overexposed. Underexposure can be cor- rected by increasing the number of pulses and/or decreasing the distance between the imaging medium and the XRS4. Overexposure can be corrected by reducing the number of pulses and/or increasing the distance between the imaging medium and XRS4. -

May void Warnty Continue? If operator selects Y the pulse count will remain with the multiple pulse trains in place. When the unit is returned for repair Golden Engineering can see how many times the duty cycle had been exceeded. If the repairs required to the machine are caused by excessive use the warranty may be voided. -

Questions and answers
How do I determine exposure settings for a half inch of carbon steel using a XRS4MD pulsed xray tube from Golden. The brochure states 35 pulses but there is no information regarding how many trains or how I determine exposure settings.
For a half-inch (13 mm) of carbon steel using the Golden Engineering XRS4 pulsed X-ray tube, set the pulse setting between 35 and 40. If the radiograph is too dark (underexposed), increase the number of pulses or decrease the distance between the imaging medium and the X-ray generator. If the radiograph is too light (overexposed), reduce the number of pulses or increase the distance.
