Prerequisites 1 - 1 Purpose The purpose of this modification is to upgrade a MAMMOMAT 3000 Modular with Mo X-ray tube to Mo/W X-ray tube. Tools and expendables required • Standard assembly tools • Circlip pliers • Denatured ethanol, 99.5 % pure (may only be denatured with toluene, which does not leave any residues when evaporated) for cleaning the filters or tube window.
1 - 2 Prerequisites Symbols Checks and adjustments requiring X-ray to be switched on are marked with the radiation- warning symbol. Protect yourself. MAMMOMAT 3000 Modular Register 5 SPB7-230.092.11 Page 2 of 2 Siemens-Elema AB Service Rev. 01 04.98 SPS-UD...
Disassembly 2 - 1 Removal of collimator cover Fig 2.1 Switch off the MAMMOMAT 3000 Modular. Remove the swivel-arm covers. Remove the collimator cover (1) by unscrewing four Allen screws (2). NOTICE Do not remove any other Allen screws than shown in figure 2.1.
To release the diaphragm-plate assembly, cut the cable ties on each side of the tube head Fig. 2.4 Lower the diaphragm-plate assembly and let it hang in the cables (7). MAMMOMAT 3000 Modular Register 5 SPB7-230.092.11 Page 2 of 4...
Remove the two front guides (10). The rear guide need not be removed. Remove the filter assembly. NOTICE Be careful not to damage the optical switch position sensor (11) during the removal.

“CAUTION!!! Pressing <ALT> + <F6> releases exposure. Protect yourself.” is shown. Press <ALT> + <F6> to release exposure. After the exposure the divergence (%) from the correct adaptation value is shown. MAMMOMAT 3000 Modular Register 5 SPB7-230.092.11 Page 4 of 8...
Small tungsten focus Attach an 18 24 table. With the MAMMOMAT 3000 Modular switched off, make a connection between X813.9, board side, an D801 and +24 V. This will simulate the magnification table and small focus will be selected. To do this (see fig 3.4): 2.1 Unplug X813 on D801.

Fig 3.4 Select W/Rh anode/filter combination. Check the light field/radiation field according to the Installation and Set-up Instructions for MAMMOMAT 3000 Modular. The beam limiting device must not run into its mechanical NOTICE endstop. If it does the value must be changed.
“Configuration”, “Beam limiting device”, “Small tungsten, mm from edge”. Press <F2> to calibrate and then <F2> to save. With the MAMMOMAT 3000 Modular switched off, follow the procedure described in step 2 in the reversed order to remove the adapter cable and restore connector X813 to its original state.
Fit the collimator cover (1) and fasten with the four Allen screws (2) (see fig 2.1). Check that all three anode/filter combinations can be chosen for both large/small focus and 24 30 table (if used). System OFF. Reinstall the swivel-arm covers.
