1.1.0 INTRODUCTION
This chapter summarizes the main features of the MAGNUM C®and MAGNUM C®DR X-ray generators
(performance, regulatory and compatibility). Safety information is provided, along with environmental,
room, and installation requirements. This chapter concludes with a pre-installation checklist and a
diagram showing the major component layout.
The information in this chapter is provided in order for the installer to be able to plan the site
layout prior to installation of the generator.
1.1.1 Generator Description
The MAGNUM C®100 kHz high frequency X-ray generator is a component for use in film-based
stationary radiographic X-ray systems. The MAGNUM C®DR X-ray generator adds a digital interface for
digital radiography (DR) equipment. The MAGNUM C ®X-ray generator consists of a main power cabinet
and an optional membrane control console. The MAGNUM C®DR X-ray generator consists of a main
power cabinet and an optional membrane, touchscreen or mini-console (used with digital interface). The
main power cabinet contains the HT tank and control circuits, the filament drivers, a low speed starter
(optional dual speed starter on some models of MAGNUM C®DR), and interface connections to the
room equipment.
The control console allows the operator to select the technique factors, image receptors, etc.,
and to initiate an X-ray exposure.

NOTE 1 These guidelines may not apply all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption
and reflection from structures, objects and people.
NOTE 2 It is essential that the actual shielding effectiveness and filter attenuation of the shielded location be
verified to assure that they meet the minimum specification.
aField strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and
land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted
theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an
electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the
VZW2556 series of X-ray generators is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the X-ray
generator should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional
measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the X-ray generator.
