2-1System Startup
Before you are able to begin making X–ray exposures, you need to start up the
system. Press the “Power On” button located on the left side of the RCIM. The
Precision 500D system was designed to be fully serviceable from the IUI control
console.
2-2Tube Warmup
Tube Warmup is a procedure that brings the X–ray tube up to a normal operating
temperature. The tube has to be brought to this temperature slowly. Tube warmup
should be done if no exposures have been made within two hours. This extends
the life of the tube.
2-3System Shutdown
The system can remain on. If it is necessary to shut down the system, make sure
all sessions are closed and select the shutdown button from the Utilities tab on the
IUI Console.
