VCT 32 or VCT 64 7.x systems may ONLY use D3194T tubes. 5.x HP 100 and HP80 Gdas systems may use either D3192T or D3194T tubes. '*** 2ND OPINION NOTES *** Perform Rotor Control Diagnostics--If tube rotor fails to reach RUN mode in three ACCEL steps look for: High Drive output currents Low Drive output voltages and Low Drive output frequencies. This indicates a load problem with tube. With rotor running turn off Gantry 120V power at PDU. Listen for excessive noise and short deceleration time. A good rotor will coast for several minutes without power.
