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. NOTE TO FES AND DCOS TEAM: IF SELLING TO AN END USER AND NOT INSTALLED BY A GE FE, AN END USER CERTIFICATION LETTER MUST BE SIGNED BY THE CUSTOMER. UPON RECEIPT OF SIGNED LETTER, ORDER CAN BE PLACED. **TO OBTAIN COPY OF CERT. LTR. CONTACT DCOS TEAM AT 800-558-2040 OPTION 2. **ANY QUESTIONS, CONTACT LYNN WESTBROOK OR ROD MCCRIMMON. ******* NOTE: D3194T tubes now manufactured, have a one inch longer high voltage cable. The longer cable is necessary for all Wide Bore Gantries. ( If a very old D3194T tube is installed on a Wide Bore Gantry, the high voltage cable may be too short, and a new D3194T tube must be ordered ).
