Always connect the power cord to a grounded AC mains electrical outlet.
High voltage is present in some internal components.
X-radiation is emitted during some calibration tests described within this
manual.
Observe radiation safety precautions when conducting these tests.
CARELESS OR IMPROPER USE OF X-RAY EQUIPMENT CAN BE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS.
It is imperative that this equipment be operated and serviced only by trained personnel familiar with
the safety precautions required to prevent excessive exposure to primary and secondary radiation,
the dangers of exposure to x-radiation, and the proper use of the equipment and instrumentation
discussed in this manual. All personnel authorized to operate or service this equipment should be
fully acquainted with the established maximum permissible doses, safety recommendations and
procedures for working with high voltage components, and testing and calibration instrumentation.
Although this x-ray unit incorporates protective design features for limiting both the direct (primary)
x-ray beam and the secondary radiation produced by this beam, design factors alone cannot
prevent human carelessness, negligence, or lack of knowledge. This apparatus is sold with
the understanding that the user assumes sole responsibility for radiation and electrical safety, and
that MinXray, Inc., its agents and representatives, do not accept any responsibility for:
1. Injury or danger to patient or other personnel from x-ray exposure or electrical shock.
2. Overexposure due to poor operating techniques or procedures.
3. Equipment not properly serviced, installed, or maintained in accordance with operation and
service manuals.
4. Equipment which has been modified or tampered with in any way.

4.0 OPERATING PROCEDURES
CONNECTION : After confirming POWER CORD and EXPOSURE SWITCH are intact, securely
connect them to main body of x-ray unit.
(If connector has lock, confirm it is locked.)
Confirm POWER SWITCH is OFF and connect POWER CORD to wall outlet or
wallsocketofpropermains.
(When you use an extension cord, 3.5 kW should be obtained.)
POWER ON : Set POWER SWITCH on the back of the HF120/60H to ON.
Each indicator will illuminate.
DO NOT SWITCH ON AND OFF QUICKLY IN A SHORT TIME. WHEN TURNING
ON AGAIN AFTER TURNING OFF, WAIT FOR AT LEAST 1 MINUTE.
OTHERWISE, THE HIGH FREQUENCY INVERTER CANNOT WORK PROPERLY.
kV SETTING : Set kV in the range of 40 kV to 120 kV.
TIMER SETTING : Set timer in the range of 0.01 sec. to 5.00 sec. depending on subject, distance
and screen/film combination.
mA SETTING : No adjustment.
SELECTION OF sec OR mAs INDICATION:
You can choose the sec or mAs indication by the switch.
( refer page 8.)
MEMORY FOR TECHNIC FACTOR:
Five different technique settings can be stored in memory for quick recall on
the HF120/60H PowerPlus. To store a technique setting, press the Memory
Storage button MR then press memory Recall button M1. This will store the
technique setting displayed in memory position M1. Repeat this process for
storing the different technique setting in M2-M5 as desired. Stored technique
settings can be easily recalled by simply pressing M1-M5.
SOURCE-IMAGE DISTANCE:
Use the tape measure on the side of the HF120/60H to confirm that the x-ray
unit is positioned at the correct source-image distance (SID) for the view
being taken.
ADJUSTMENT OF RADIATION FIELD :
Pressing the collimator switch will illuminate the field for approx. 30 sec.
Adjust light field to position of radiograph by two knobs for adjustment of
opening. During this time, use the adjustment knobs to size the radiograph.

6
RADIOGRAPHY :
All safety checks, press only first stage of EXPOSURE SWITCH.
STANDBY indicator goes on after 3 sec. Then, unit is ready for exposure.
Press and hold the second stage of EXPOSURE SWITCH. X-RAY indicator
illuminates, the buzzer sounds, and x-ray is generated for the time set. The
EXPOSURE SWITCH is a DEADMAN style. If the button is released during
exposure, exposure is stopped and error lamp will be blinking.
Press and hold the button until exposure is complete.
NOTE: The first stage of EXPOSURE SWITCH is pre-heat of filament.
DON’T KEEP ONLY THE FIRST STAGE OF EXPOSURE SWITCH “ON” LONGER
THAN 30 SEC.
If the exposure switch is released during exposure, error light will be blinking.
POWER OFF : When the POWER SWITCH is pressed, all indicators on the control panel
are off.
ERROR LAMP : HF120/60H has 2 kinds of error indications. If either of them is lit, x-ray cannot
be generated. Each detail is as follows.
ERROR LAMP DETAILS COUNTERMEASURE
Blinking
Exposure switch was released
during the X-ray exposure.
Turn off the unit then turn on
the unit to reset.
On Unit malfunction.
Stop procedure and follow
steps below.
※ If ERROR indicator is lit even when EXPOSURE SWITCH BUTTON is released, it means an
unusual situation has occurred. Turn off POWER SWITCH, wait 3 minutes, then start procedures
over again. If the error indicator remains lit, refer to P32 of this manual for additional troubleshooting
steps.

Memory Storage uses two (2) size AA alkaline batteries inside the Battery Compartment, located on
the back side of equipment. Open the Battery Compartment using a coin, turning the compartment
lid counterclockwise 90°. If there are no batteries in the Battery Compartment, use some adhesive
tape to help you remove the compartment lid.
Insert two (2) size AA alkaline batteries in the Battery Compartment, with the + end toward the
Battery Compartment lid. Reattach the Battery Compartment lid and lock it with a coin, turning it
clockwise 90°.
