SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
WARNING
Do not perform any unauthorized modifications to the OpenVision™ system or components of the system.
It is important that trained and qualified personnel perform or supervise a daily safety inspection of the
OpenVision™ system for obvious defects before using the system. Do not compromise on safety. Always
perform the daily inspection of the system prior to use.
Any foreign material (dirt, mud, ice, etc.) must be removed before using the system. Inspect, clean, and test the
equipment as described in this manual to ensure long-term safety and reliability.
Do not use any component that is not approved for use with the OpenVision™ system or any after-market
component as they may compromise the safety features designed into the system.
Defective equipment that is discovered during the daily inspection must be removed from service until repaired or
replaced.
The user of this equipment must follow the operating instructions, in the order shown, to ensure safe operations
and compliance with
g
overnment re
g
ulations.
Personnel operating this equipment must be completely familiar with this manual and they must read and understand
these important safety alerts before proceeding.
IMPORTANT SAFETY ALERTS
NOTICE: Can cause minor problems and reminders.
CAUTION: Can cause equipment damage or potential problems.
WARNING: Can cause serious or fatal injury.
WARNING: JOB SITE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Surveillance
Only trained and qualified individuals, or assistants working under their direct supervision, may operate the
OpenVision™ DX system. The qualified individuals must be physically present at the site and able to control and
limit access to the vicinity of the work.

Operating Conditions
OpenVision™ DX is designed for applications where the equipment will not be exposed to harsh handling or
environmental extremes. See Equipment Specifications for more information
X-Ray Training
It is required that OpenVision™ DX operators are properly trained and qualified to perform radiographic inspections. This
manual does not address radiographic inspection techniques or procedures.
Precautions
The OpenVision™ DX system is designed for portability and is ruggedized for industrial environments. However, it does
contain fragile components. Use care to avoid strong vibrations and shock conditions (e.g. equipment drops or
transportation outside the approved case) to the main housing, imager housing, and display(s).
CAUTION
Do not attempt to open or modify the imager housing, main housing, or X-ray tube. Opening any of these
components will void the system warranty and may expose the operator to a high voltage shock hazard.
CAUTION
Do not allow liquids to come into contact with any part of the OpenVision™ DX system. The main and
imager housings have been made water resistant, but they are not “Waterproof”. Appropriate care should
be taken to protect all cabling and connectors to ensure reliable and safe operation of the OpenVision™ DX
system.
WARNING: Class 2 Target Laser
Because the blink reflex (glare aversion response to bright lights) will limit the exposure to no more than
0.25 seconds, Class 2 laser pointers are considered to be safe. Furthermore, Class 2 lasers do not harm
eyes unless a person deliberately stares into the beam, making laser protective eyewear not necessary. A
Class 2 laser is not a skin or materials burn hazard. NEVER aim any laser towards an aircraft or vehicle in
motion.

OPENVISION™ DIGITAL X-RAY SYSTEM
(OVDX) SOFTWARE.
Power Cycling
Each OVDX unit utilizes an embedded microprocessor to handle and coordinate all aspects of safety and normal
operating functions. With such a system, it requires several seconds to initialize before starting normal operations.
Following the Startup and Shutdown sequences below is critical for normal operation; see Figure 1 for key and indicator
locations.
Figure 1 Indicators and Power Switch Details
Startup
When the Controller Key is turned to its ON position, the CPU indicator will immediately turn on (green). A boot up screen
will be displayed during initialization, and the System Status Indicators will also illuminate. When these indicators turn
green and the Home Screen (Figure 2) is displayed, system startup is complete and ready for normal operation.
Shutdown
Turning the Controller Key to its OFF position will begin the shutdown sequence. The Status Indicator Lights will turn off
after 1-3 seconds, but the system will not be fully powered down until the CPU Power Indicator LED is turned off. Once
off, remove the key, and place the unit in storage. No additional cool down is required.
CAUTION
Failure to allow the system to properly shutdown may corrupt internal memory, and unit may not be able to
restart.
