The Shad-o-Scan has been designed and manufactured in accordance with the
applicable clauses of the international standards and legislations.
•EN 61000-6-3: Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) –Generic standards.
Emission standard for residential, commercial and light-industrial
environments
•IEC/EN 61000-6-2: Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) –Generic standards.

substances
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 Carbon strip
The carbon strip in the front cover of the detector should be treated with care, as
scratches or debris in this area may produce artifacts in the X-ray image.

Shad-o-Scan User Manual, Rev04 10
Shad-o-Scan 3001/4501 X-Ray Detector Teledyne DALSA
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, or
whenever 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 pixel calibration map at least once 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, flatfield reference, saturation dose and MTF performance.
Open Source Software Licenses
Teledyne DALSA X-ray detector firmware contains open source software provided
under different open source software licenses. More information about these open
source licenses can be found in the documentation that accompanies the firmware.

Ground
Shielding (chassis)
The detector requires a single voltage input (+11-16V / 21W). There is a protection for
misconnection, via a resettable fuse. When the fuse has been activated (isolating),
power cycling will return it to conductive state again thus restoring normal operation
(assuming power has been properly applied).
WARNING: When setting up the detector power supplies follow these guidelines:
•Apply the appropriate voltages.
•Keep leads as short as possible in order to reduce voltage drop. The voltage
level at the product power connector should be within the range mentioned
in the datasheet.
•Use high-quality linear supplies of SELV type and/or EN 60601-1 compliant.
Note: If your power supply does not meet these requirements, the detector
performance specifications cannot be guaranteed.

Maximum voltage applied to the Trigger output should not exceed 30V. Do not apply a
voltage with reversed polarity.
Depending of the connection the trigger output can be active high or active low.
Trigger out is active means that the detector is integrating.
Trigger out active low:
When “optocoupler collector connection” is used:
“Trigger Output Collector” is pulled up with a resistor (range 100 Ohm to 1k Ohm) to
VCC (positive supply voltage) and “Trigger Output Emitter” is connected to ground
Then “Trigger-Out” is active low (= integration state of detector).
When “optocoupler emitter connection” is used:
“Trigger Output Collector” is connected to VCC (positive supply voltage) and
Trigger Output Emitter” is pulled down with a resistor (range 100 Ohm to 1k Ohm) to
ground.
Then “Trigger-Out” is active high (= integration state of detector).
In this document the state of “Trigger-Out” is “active” (integrating) or “not-active”
(reading/reset of pixels).

Setting up the Detector
Network Interface Card
A Network Interface Card (NIC) is required to acquire images and control the Shad-
o-Scan detector. A NIC with Jumbo packet support up to 9014 bytes is required to
receive streaming video, preferably with a PCI Express slot.
Teledyne DALSA advises to use the 5G adapter Network Interface Card (NIC) which
is a low cost but high performance and reliable adapter with a PCI Express slot.
Make sure that the latest driver of the NIC manufacturer is installed. We advise to use
a 64-bit operating systems as the NIC drivers are better maintained.
Due to the high bandwidth used by the detector we strongly advise to have a direct
connection from the NIC to the detector.
Connect Trigger Cable
Connect the trigger cable to the detector when the Trigger Mode of the detector is set
to Synchronous or Triggered.
Connect Ethernet Cable
Connect the CAT-6 Ethernet cable from the detector to the computer Ethernet jack.
Secure the RJ-45 connector to the detector.
