Safety and System
Information
Safety Information
Definitions
User of the products as described in this manual is the Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM) that is developing and producing an X-ray imaging device (or
‘modality’), using the product as an component to capture image information;
End-User of the products as described in this manual is the professional operating the
OEM equipment to perform a diagnostic imaging routine;
Intended Use
The products as described in this manual are components that are used enclosed
inside a User’s system to capture images in X-ray modalities. Typical applications
include, but are not limited to, Non-Destructive Testing, Electronics Inspection and
Computed Tomography (CT).
Installation Warning
The User is responsible for the safe and prudent installation of the detector in their
system. All X-ray sources and controls, shielding, personnel safety monitoring
devices, and personnel safety precautions and training involved in the use of this
equipment are the responsibility of the User and/or the End-User.
Safety Statement
The general safety precautions that follow must be observed during all phases of
installation, operation, service, repair and disposal of this system. Failure to comply
with these precautions, or with specific warnings noted in this manual, violates the
safety standards of design, manufacture and the intended used of this system.
Teledyne DALSA assumes no responsibility for the user’s failure to comply with
these requirements.
Warning: The product, when installed, is subject to exposure from X-rays during
operation.
To ensure personnel safety, it is necessary that a radiation meter will be used to check
for radiation leakage after installation of the digital camera in the end users system.
For safety reasons, the on-time of the X-ray source should never be controlled directly
by the detector synchronization output. Control of the X-ray source remains a
system/host responsibility.
Teledyne DALSA assumes no responsibility for proper installation of the detector,
installation of X-ray shielding, X-ray shield enclosure testing, or safe and prudent

operation of the camera system in the End-user's installation. It is the Users and End-
users responsibility to ensure that local and federal guidelines regarding the
installation and operation of X-ray sources are followed.
The power requirements of the product, especially the voltage specifications, must be
strictly adhered to or warranty will be void.
No User Serviceable Components
There are no components in this system which need to be replaced, modified, or
adjusted by the end user. Please contact Teledyne DALSA Support for assistance if
needed.
Safety Warning: Tampering with this product voids the warranty and may degrade
the detectors image quality, resulting in a possibly unsafe condition for (End-)
Users.
The system has been designed to minimize the amount of interference it may
generate in an installation. This equipment generates and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and operated in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to other devices in the area.
Stacking
Teledyne DALSA does not recommend that the user stack the product or use it in
adjacent to other equipment. If this arrangement is unavoidable, then the (End-)user
must ensure that there is adequate airflow around the detector and that normal
operation conditions are maintained.
Disposal of Product
The detector contains lead and no batteries. Dispose the unit in accordance with local
regulatory guidelines.
EMC compliance
To ensure EMC compliance, follow these specific guidelines:
Ensure that all cable shields have a 360electrical connection to the
connector.
Tightly fasten and secure all connectors.
Warning
The detector can influence the performance of very sensitive equipment.
Strong EMC disturbances can influence the detectors performance.
System precautions
The following are precautions that must be taken in order to prevent possible damage
to your Teledyne DALSA Detector system:
Warning:
The use of accessories, power supplies and cables other than those specified, with the
exception of cables sold by Teledyne DALSA as replacement parts, may result in
increased emission or decreased immunity of the Rad-icon Detector.

User Manual, Rev 01 7
Teledyne DALSA Rad-icon 2329 GigE Detector
X-ray exposure should be limited only to the active image area (see chapter 5
mechanical drawing) in order not to cause damage to the electronic components of
the device.
Static precautions
Observe proper ESD/static control procedures when handling system components.
The use of properly grounded wrist strap is highly recommended.
Installation Precautions
Never connect or disconnect cables while power to the detector is on. Damage to the
detector electronics might occur if the cables are connected and/or disconnected
while the detectors power is on.
Enclosed Use
This equipment is designed for use in enclosed systems, with the enclosure
sufficiently shielding the equipment against the influence of visible light. If used
without enclosure and in bright environments, ambient light entering the detector
may impact image quality or the effectiveness of calibrations. It is the customer’s
responsibility to take measures in the application to avoid ambient light entering the
detector.
Service by Qualified Personnel Only
This equipment is to be installed by a qualified technician only. The system can only
be used in conjunction with a properly installed X-ray source with the appropriate
shielding and a properly configured computer workstation that meets the minimum
system requirements discussed later in this manual.

Detector Maintenance
Before performing any of the following operations, make sure that the power to the
detector is switched OFF.
Protecting the Detector Front Cover
The front cover of the detector and should be treated with care, as scratches or debris
in this area may produce artifacts in the X-ray image.
Cleaning the Detector Body and Front Cover
The detector body and front cover can be cleaned with a mild, non-abrasive cleanser
such as isopropyl alcohol. Place a small amount of cleanser on a soft cloth and rub
gently over the detector body surface. Wipe off with a clean soft cloth. Do not use any
harsh cleansers or solvents that may damage the paint or other finishes on the
detector.
In the event of detector exposure to bio-hazardous materials, proper cleaning
procedures should be undertaken prior to removal or maintenance of the detector.
Calibration
To have the best image performance, the raw image data generated by the detector
should be corrected at the host by using a flat field (offset and gain) correction. As the
offset (dark) calibration signal depends (amongst others) on ambient temperature
conditions of the detector, it is commonly accepted good practice to generate these
calibration images frequently at times that the X-ray source is switched off. It is
recommended to re-calibrate the gain correction image at least once per year, at least
when e.g. the X-ray tube is exchanged or anything changes in the X-ray imaging
geometry (e.g. the distance between the X-ray source and the detector).
The detector can contain deviating pixels. To have the best possible image quality it is
advised to perform a defect pixel correction in the host system. It is recommended to
create a defect pixels calibration image at least every year, or more frequently in case
of heavy use.
To verify if the detector still operates according specification it is advised to measure
on regular base the following performance parameters of the detector: dark reference,
noise performance, flat field reference, saturation dose and MTF performance.
