SECTION 1 INITIAL CONFIGURATION PROCEDURE
Configuration provides the initial settings for extended memory and checkout
procedures that must be carried out before making X-ray exposures.
Functional characteristics of this Generator are defined at the time of
installation.
Calibration and some configuration data are stored in a non-volatile memory
chip (U3-EEPROM) located on the HT Controller Board in the Power Cabinet.
When the initial setup and checkout has been completed the Generator will be
ready for Calibration.
Record all the configuration settings in the Data Book.
DO NOT SUPPLY THE MAIN POWER UNTIL SPECIFICALLY
INSTRUCTED TO DO SO IN THIS DOCUMENT.
THE MAIN CAPACITORS OF THE HIGH VOLTAGE INVERTER
RETAIN A LARGE PORTION OF THEIR CHARGE FOR
APPROX. 3 MINUTES AFTER THE UNIT IS TURNED OFF.
The Generator configuration is determined by:
•X-ray tube(s) number, model and use.
•System requirements (Bucky, Tomo, AEC, ...)
•Maximum kV, kW.
Specific versions of U24-EPROM on the ATP Console CPU Board and U5 on
the HT Controller Board are based on the Generator configuration. (Refer to
Illustration 1-1).
The system configuration and test switches are:

1.1 CONFIGURATION AND TEST SWITCHES
ATP Console Dip Switches mustbe configured with the Generator turned OFF,
and they are read when the Generator is turned ON again.
1.1.1 3024SW1 - ATP CONSOLE CPU BOARD
Set dip switch 3024SW1 in accordance with the Table 1-1.

Exposures are inhibited when
Door Interlock Switch is opened.
3Not used. Set in “OFF” position. Not used.
4Not used. Set in “OFF” position. Not used.
Note.-- *1) This switch is related with the frequency of the Rotor Controller. For Generators with High Speed Starter
(LV-DRAC) or Generators Powered through Batteries with Stand-Alone set always SW1-1 to 60 Hz, in the rest of
Generators set SW1-1 in accordance with the Power Line Frequency.
1.1.2 3024SW2 - ATP CONSOLE CPU BOARD
Set dip switch 3024SW2 verifying that each position is set as Table 1-2.

for display purposes, troubleshooting or Demo
Consoles when there is no Power Module. Be
sure that J3 connector is not plugged to the ATP
Console CPU Board.
Normal -- Application mode.
2Tick Sound (button / command acknowledge) is
not emitted by the ATP Console CPU Board. Tick Sound (button / command acknowledge) is emitted by the ATP Console CPU Board.

4kV Log (Renard) Scale Mode for kV variation
(kV changes in logarithmic steps) (if available). kV Lineal Scale Mode for kV variation (Normal mode) (kV changes one by one).

Notes.-- *1) Set in Closed (On) position only when indicated in the Service Manual.
*2) Note that SW2-1 in Closed (On) position is only set to program the Rotor Acceleration Time, Rad Filament Setting
Time, Fluoro Rotor and Filament Hold-over Time, therefore it changes the functions of Switches SW2-2 and SW2-4 to
SW2-8. Refer to Section 3.
*3) This turns off the filaments so no radiation will be produced during the exposure.
WARNING: THE kV OUTPUT OF THE HV TRANSFORMER WILL BE WHATEVER IS SET BY THE CONSOLE. IF
THE X-RAY TUBE HV CABLES ARE NOT CONNECTED INTO THE HV TRANSFORMER, FILL COMPLETELY BOTH
HV RECEPTACLES WITH HV OIL.
*4) Set SW2-5 according to the Generator kV rating (refer to the Generator model and/or specifications).
*5) Set to “No Filament Boosting” when using X-ray Tubes with Small Focal Spot smaller than 0.6 .
