XRBHR/XRBD SERIES MONOBLOCK® MANUAL 2 118185-001 REV B
Chapter 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Description of the
XRBHR/XRBD MONOBLOCK
Series
he XRBHR (high reliability) and XRBD Monoblock®
X-ray source are designed for OEM applications. The
XRBHR/XRBD Monoblock® series is equipped with
an internal Bipolar X-Ray tube designed for use at voltages
up to 80k, 100kVor 160kV at power levels up to 100W,
210W, 350W or 500W. It is a complete integrated system
consisting of a high voltage power supply (HVPS) with
proprietary control and protection circuitry as well as a
filament supply, X-ray tube and oil encapsulant in one
compact enclosure. Additional advantages are the
elimination of high voltage cables and low leakage X-ray
radiation.
A Power factor corrected input regulator is utilized to
improve overall reduction in harmonic emissions and EMI.
The output provides a regulated +390VDC to downstream
switching circuitry enabling optimal performance and
efficiency.
The XRBHR/XRBD MONOBLOCKSeries
incorporates remote programming, monitoring, and fault
indicators including interlock.
The X-ray source is a sealed unit containing the HVPS, X-
ray tube and insulating oil. The insulating oil provides
electrical insulation for the high voltage components and
the X-ray tube. The oil also functions as a coolant to carry
heat away from the tube. The cooling system requirements
are outlined in Chapter 3 and in the XRBHR data sheet
SHV#128132-001 or XRBD data sheet SHV#128146-001.
A bellows internal to the X-ray source compensates for the
expansion of the oil as the oil temperature varies thereby
eliminating the need for a bulky overflow tank.
The XRBHR/XRBD is available with either a fan or cone
shape beam geometry. Proprietary emission control
circuitry provides excellent regulation of X-ray tube
current, along with outstanding stability performance. The
XRBHR is designed for long field life and comes with a
three-year warranty for standard units.

1.2 Operating Features
The XRBHR/XRBD MONOBLOCKSeries
incorporates several standard features designed to optimize
user satisfaction and safety.
•INTERNAL FAULT PROTECTION: The
XRBHR/XRBD MONOBLOCKSeries continually
monitors internal circuits critical to the proper
operation of the power supply. In the event that one
of these circuits does not function correctly, the fault
detection circuit latches the appropriate fault on the
front cover display and turns off the X-ray output.
•LED FAULT/STATUS INDICATORS:
Indicators are located on the cover of the Control
/Inverter Assembly and are provided to give the user a
complete indication of system operation and fault
conditions.
POWER OVERVOLTAGE (OV)
ARC FLT UNDERVOLTAGE (UV)
OVERTEMP (OT) OVER CURRENT (OC)
UNDER CURRENT (UC) X-RAY ON
•WATCHDOG OPERATION: The HVPS employs
an internal watchdog timer to discontinue X-ray
operation in instances where the host computer has
lost communication and control of the Monoblock®
for a period greater than three seconds. This feature is
may be enabled or disabled via RS-232 or Ethernet
host command and willdefault to enable at system turn
on.
•LOCAL MONITORS: Provides local analog
monitors for the X-ray tube voltage and current via the
analog interface connector on the front cover of the
