ZIEHM QUANTUM User’s Manual Page 106 of 220
−The X-ray symbol on the Desk View touch control panel is illuminated when
radiation is being released. The Radiation Exposure indicator is located in the
right upper area of the touch panel. The symbol on the touch screen is only
visible when radiation is on. In the case of Pulse Fluoroscopy the Desk View
Radiation indicator will be on all the time. There may be times where this
indicator will be on longer and come on a bit latter than the other two radiation
indicators this is normal.
−The third X-Ray symbol radiation indicator is located on the Mobile Stand
control keyboard on the right side in the technique display area. The indicator is
illuminated when radiation is being released. In the case of Pulse Fluoroscopy
the Radiation indicator will pulse with the radiation on time.
NOTE:
The Radiation lamp indicators may not all come on at the exact same time. There can
be a very short time period just before and after radiation is on, this is normal and is a
result of having three separate back up indicators for the system.
There can be some cases where the radiation indicators are on but the radiation is not
active. In these cases it would indicate a failure in the system and would require re-
starting the system. If this occurs again after turning on the system and performing
radiation, the operator should then call for service repair.
8.15 DESKVIEW DISPLAYS FOR KV/MA, TIME AND DOSE
The DeskView and Control Panel have similar technique and system displays. The touch panel
has one main area of display for the technique values of kV / mA, radiograph exposure time
Fluoroscopic time and Air Kerma dose display. The control panel displays dose in “mGy/min”
or “mGy”.
8.15.1. kV:
Displays will show the kV of the system both in automatic and manual kV selection modes of
dose control.
8.15.2. mA:
Displays will display the selected mA for both Fluoroscopic and radiographic exposure modes.
8.15.3. S or Seconds:
Displays for the radiographic exposure time.
8.15.4. Min:
Displays the actual fluoroscopic accumulated time.
