Refer to MI&CT ESERVICE NOTE SN07091114a for additional details. (212001261 21-Jan-2009) *** 2ND OPINION NOTES *** Take an exposure and listen to tank. If you hear an arcing sound most likely bad tank. Rotate Gantry so tank is upside down and take exposure. Listen for arcing. Turn off lights in room and check for a flash from the tank. Remove tank, set on floor on top of the lifting bracket. Make room quiet. Rock tank front to back and side to side, listen carefully. Any sounds, indicates a failure.

For LightSpeed 2X/3X/4X and HP60. For CTi order D3132T and Lightspeed 1X order D3176T (212001261 5/3/07) *** SECOND 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. Rotor issues (errors 183316, 183318, 183319, 260118111, 260118177) caused by tubes tend to be more prevalent on .5 second scans. If tube is installed on Jedi system, the Anode cable tends to break down (hard errors). Intermittent HV Spits -- Run KV Loop, 140KV, 30 sec, Anode, Cathode and both. Listen to tanks with stethoscope or screw driver, any noise indicates bad tank. Any spits? Remove HV cables from tanks fill with 2inch of oil. Spits = No, could be tube or cables. Spits = Yes, bad tank. D3186T PERFORMIX ULTRA TUBE UNIT Used on LS2.X, 3.X, 4.X, 5.X HP60, Hispeed QXi, DLS with H2 Gantry and DST with H2 Gantry.
