2315NDT v2 CMOS X-ray Detector User Manual
1.0 Scope
This document describes design elements and integration information for the Varex Imaging
2315NDT CMOS X-ray Detector. Applicable mechanical, electronic, and software interfaces
are
addressed. Varex Imaging Digital X-ray Flat Panel Detectors and their accessories are
components designed to be integrated into products by X-ray system manufacturers.
Manufacturers are
responsible for qualifying, validating, and certifying their products for their
intended uses and
meeting all applicable regulatory requirements.
The 2315NDT CMOS X-ray detector contains specific models for which the main difference is the
scintillator or X-ray shielding of the flat panel X-ray detector. Final application and intended use
is determined by the X-ray system manufacturer and is based on the completed X-ray system
design.
It is the responsibility of the X-ray system manufacturer to confirm, safety, efficacy and
compliance of the X-ray system for its intended use, inclusive of the detector. The Digital
Radiography Software referred to in this manual is industrial imaging software for digital
radiography, which is typically supplied by the X-ray system manufacturer or third-party
provider and is not part of the 2315NDT CMOS X-ray detector.
2.0 Usage
The Varex Imaging 2315NDT CMOS X-ray Detector is a component of a digital imaging system
for generating radiographic and dynamic images. Final application is based on the completed
X-ray system design. It is the responsibility of the final device manufacturer to confirm the
safety, efficacy, and compliance of the system for its intended use. Manufacturers are responsible
for qualifying, validating, certifying their intended use on their specific application, and meeting
all applicable regulatory requirements established by local or national government authorities.
3.0 Disclaimer
Unless otherwise specified, Varex Imaging Flat Panel X-ray Detectors are components intended
to be integrated into products by X-ray system manufacturers. System manufacturers are
responsible for qualifying and validating their products for their intended uses and meeting all
applicable regulatory requirements.
4.0 Limitations of Use
The following limitations on installation and usage are in accordance with the identified hazards
and device classification:
•When installed in a host system, the detector must be installed within a housing or cover that
prevents direct contact with the operator.
•The detector must not be used as part of a control or feedback system.
WARNING The detector and associated components should only be installed and
used by persons with appropriate training and experience and in
accordance with the instructions given in this manual.

USER MANUAL

2315NDT v2 CMOS X-ray Detector User Manual
•The detector is able to signal to another part of the system that an image is ready to be
exposed using a BNC port on the front panel of the detector. The signal from the port must
not be the sole activation means for X-ray delivery, and must be used in association with
other control inputs: for example, a hand switch, safety interlocks, and a means of controlling
the beam duration.
•The detector is not intended for use as a dosimeter for measuring or controlling dose.
•The detector must not be used in a situation where it controls the X-ray dose delivered.
•Detector must be earthed - see “Section 17.2, Protective Earthing” on page 24 for details.
5.0 Interferences with Other Devices
6.0 Audience
This document is for professional users from Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) of
X-ray systems, and X-ray system installers who are responsible for installing the X-ray detector
into an X-ray system. System manufacturers are responsible for qualifying and validating their
products for their intended uses and meeting all applicable regulatory requirements.
7.0 Comparison of v1 and v2 Detectors
The 2315NDT detector is based on a CMOS 1512 v2 sensor, which is an update of the already
existing v1 sensor, used previously. The aim of the update was to implement functional and per-
formance improvements and to solve some known issues, and meanwhile keep the detectors
backwards compatible.
Some discrepancies between v1 and v2 sensors are listed in Table 1.
WARNING Any testing on Varex Imaging flat panel X-ray detectors demonstrates
the compliance of the detectors when used in isolation. The testing
undertaken does not prove compliance once the detector is integrated
into a system.

Readout column There are 6 readout columns
evenly spread in each sensor.
They show lower signal
compared with the other columns
(usually between 40-50% less
signal). They are usually gain
correctable and labeled in the
defect map (label 12).
There is a dead column in each sensor (x=9
and x=1546 on the detector).. This will be
marked as a defect column by default in the
defective pixel map.
