40 degree collimator. HOUSING The XR150 housing encloses the electronics and most of the high voltage head. The housing includes the touchpad interface, key switch, battery terminal block, cable connector, ¼-20 threaded tripod insert, and several tie off points that accommodate a variety of fasteners. -

X-RAY PULSING LIGHTS: Blink after time delay button or remote cable button is pressed AND between multiple pulse trains. Stay on continuously while the XR150 pulses. Blink at a slower rate between multiple pulse trains. LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD): 16-character LCD. Home screen displays counts/pulses (C or P), number of pulse trains (if multiple pulse trains are entered), safety time delay (D), and time delay between pulse trains (if multiple pulse trains are entered). -

30 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 XR150 cannot produce x-rays without the pulsing sound so it serves as an additional warning the XR150 is functioning. -
Page 8: Operating Instructions
5.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The following are basic operation instructions to take an X-ray image using the XR150. Certain applications may require modi cations to these basic procedures. -
Page 9: Operating Precautions
X-rayed. Imager should be placed as close to the object as possible. Distance between XR150 and imager is usually 24 to 72 inches (30 to 180 cm). During operation XR150 should be stabilized on a at surface, a tripod, or a custom xture suitable for holding the 5 pound (2.2 Kg) XR150. -

Page 13: Pulse Count Exceed Duty Cycle
PULSE COUNT EXCEEDS DUTY CYCLE XR150 Duty Cycle is 100 counts (300 pulses) every 4 minutes. Exceeding the duty cycle on a continual basis will shorten the life of various components in the high voltage head. It is recommened to stay within the duty cycle, however, there may be emergency situations that operators need to exceed the duty cycle. - Page 14 Displays pulse count and Press ENTER to select no Press ENTER to select continue delay time Displays Settings Void Warranty...

Page 17: Multiple Pulse Trains Exceed Duty Cycle
MULTIPLE PULSE TRAINS EXCEED DUTY CYCLE If multiple pulse train combination exceeds 100 counts in 4 minutes the LCD will warn that settings exceed duty cycle and ask if operator wants to continue. The software will allow operator to continue, but they must acknowledge that they are exceeding duty cycle and could void the warranty. -
Page 18: Pulse Counter/Lifetime Pulse Count
Lifetime pulse count tracks the total number of pulses the unit has red. Please note the number displayed on the LCD is total number of PULSES the unit red, NOT the total number of COUNTS. The XR150 res three pulses for each count entered so the 12,549 Lifetime pulses that appear on LCD below equals 4183 lifetime COUNTS the XR150 has red. -

Page 23: Error Messages
ERROR MESSAGES Occurs when XR150 powers up and battery voltage is less than 10V. Indicates battery low charge, but could re up to 150 counts (450 pulses) Battery voltage is too low to pulse XR150. Charge the battery. Could occur at the start of a pulse train or during a pulse train. Power unit off and back on. -
Page 24: Suggested Pulse Settings
XR150. Overexposure can be corrected by reducing the number of pulses and/or increasing the distance between the imaging medium and XR150. -
Page 25: Instructions For Repair
The XR150 is shipped in a rigid case or strong berboard box with custom foam insert. When transporting remove the battery pack and transport in a rigid case or berboard box with suf cient cushioning. Store the XR150 in a dry environment within temperature ranges mentioned in the speci cations. For disposal remove the tube and follow all applicable environmental laws. -
