Introduction

The EDt S software has several local diagnosis programs that you can reach through the Diagnosis menu. It
is possible with these programs to check all individual subsystems independently of one another.

All work may be performed by trained service staff only!

Observe the safety instructions at the front of this manual!

In some diagnosis programs it is possible to intervene deeply into the functional sequence of the X-
ray inspection unit and the communication to the BHS. Safety agreements are indispensable here!

The first step of the diagnosis represents the status display of the system. All important status information
and current error messages are displayed here in running operation.

Depending on the particular project there may be different ways of displaying the system status.
The most important information is always displayed.

The unit being in a correct operating condition, all signals show green.
If a signal is missing, or if an operating condition which momentarily does not permit an inspection has been
set, then the displays are either red for the case of an error or yellow for warning conditions.
In a communication with a BHS, relevant signals for the automatic operating sequence are displayed in fields
with a grey background.

Diagnosis

You reach all diagnosis programs via the Diagnosis menu.

For safety reasons, the conveyor is also switched on in some test programs that work with the X-ray
generator switched on. The message shown, which must be confirmed, then appears before the X-ray
generator and the conveyor are activated.

Detector lines
When calling up the diagnosis program Detector lines the menu items Line scope and Line test will be
available.

6 95587956 13/08/09 © Smiths Heimann

 Diagnosis Programs

Line scope

It is possible with the Line scope diagnosis program to display graphically the individual line signals, the
supply voltage of the individual lines and the test signal of the lines.

An oscillogram showing the offset voltages of the individual detector channels as percentages appears firstly
on the screen.

The permissible range is between 2% and 15%.

Í If you switch on the X-ray generator with the first menu item X-ray generator, you receive the
maximum possible output voltages of the detector channels (full scale values).

You see initially the signal of a line with the gain adapted for the individual detectors for compensati-
on of the different detector sensitivities. The adapted gain is the result of the detector line calibrat-
ion. The permissible range is 25% to 95%.
After selection of a fixed gain factor (see below) you can check the mechanical adjustment of the detector
line and of the X-ray generator by the shape of the signal.

The circle in the upper left corner of the display indicates the direction in which the line signal will
change during the line adjustment.
If the circle rotates to the left, the total of the line signal will be reduced.
If the circle rotates to the right, the total of the line signal will be raised.

Í If you switch off the Update display function you freeze the signal. At the same time the X-ray
generator and the conveyor are also switched off.

Í In the third menu item Detectors you have the possibility of limiting the display to the HIGH or the
LOW detectors (upper/lower radiation spectrum).

Í With selection of a Zoom factor in the fourth menu item you can display details of the Line scope
magnified.
If the number of detector channels exceeds the available space on the screen (with very large units
and in the magnified display), you can select the bar located under the oscillogram with the navigator

Diagnosis Programs

and then scroll through the signal.

Í With Sections you can limit the display of the Line scope to the signal section which is generated by
one of the line interface boards in each case.

Í With the last but one menu item Gain you can switch the gain factors of all detector channels over to
fixed values. You select a gain factor at which the individual output signals do not exceed the 100%
line.

Line signal with variance indication

Í In addition to the normal line scope this display indicates the variance between the individual
measured values.

Í In this case the scaling of the indication will also change. A value of variance between 0 and 1000 //00
is indicated and not a value between 0 and 100%. The permissible value of variance must not exceed
the 10 % limit. If the limit is exceeded, then a mechanical adjustment of the line is required.

Í After modifying the line position the display will only stabilize after about 20 seconds.

The variance represents the difference between two raw data values measured within a very short interval
of time. A small variance is a sign of an optimum alignment of X-ray beam and detectors.
A variance exceeding 10 % on the average means that the detector lines have to be readjusted in the
respective section!
Due to the fast evaluation of data, it is quite possible that differences of the belt thickness affect the variance
value. You will notice this as a peak occurring in the horizontal section of the detector line! If a peak is
noticed over the whole detector line, then we have to assume that the X-ray generator is not stable. In such
case you have to check the adjustment of the respective XRC board! If an adjustment of the XRC board does
not improve the situation, then you have to exchange the generator!

Further input signals

Í The last menu item enables you to switch the input signal of the line interface boards LIF from the
Line scope to a test signal or to display the supply voltage of the detector modules connected to
the line interface board.

Test signal

Í The test signal indicates whether the A/D converter of the line interface board is working correctly, or
the order of the connections of the line interface boards to the acquisition controller is correct.
You select the line interface board of interest via Sections (see above).

Test signal for the lines A, D and E

Test signal for the lines B and C

Detector supply

Í The supply voltage of the detector modules is displayed in the range of 4.75V (=0%) to 5.25V (=100%);
10% correspond to 50mV. The supply voltage must be within this range, if it is 0% or 100%, the
detector modules are not correctly supplied.

Shutter and calibration slider

To test the correct operation of shutter and calibration slider, the following functions can be activated
separately with the generators being active:

- open shutter (line signal in line scope shows normal shape)

- close shutter (line signal in line scope must fall down to the zero line since shutters
are closed)

- insert calibration samples (line scope shows the characteristic shape of a line signal with the
calibration samples inserted, see following figure).

The changes of the respective line signal in line scope indicate the correct operation of the selected
shutter and calibration slider

The normal operation of shutter and calibration slider can be restored via the „normally controlled“
function.

95587956 13/08/09 © Smiths Heimann 11

Diagnosis Programs

Line test

The test offers you a list of faulty detector channels. These are channels the output signal of which lies
outside the range intended for the A/D conversion (below 0% and above 100%) and channels the difference
between offset and full scale value of which is less than 10%.

However, defective channels are listed only if at least three neighboring detector channels have an
error.

Line module pattern

The detector modules’ limits are projected into the existing X-ray image. This display indicates the position of
faulty modules.

X-ray generator test

This test shows you initially the current values for the heater current of the relevant X-ray generators.

The display accuracy is

±10% and therefore can-
not be used for adjusting purpo-
ses!

Í If you switch on one of the X-ray generators with menu item X-ray generator, you receive the
further values for the anode current, the high voltage and the heater current with high voltage
switched on.

The occurring error message about the wrong positioning of the shutters must be acknowledged.
This message is not relevant in this function.

Í All shutters are opened with the All shutters open menu item.

Í If you switch on with the All X-ray generators menu item you receive the values for the anode
current, the high voltage and the heater current of all X-ray generators with high voltage
switched on.

Í If you switch off the Update display function you freeze the measured values. At the same time the
X-ray generator and the conveyor are also switched off.

95587956 13/08/09 © Smiths Heimann 13

Diagnosis Programs

Calibration slider test

The calibration slider test enables the speed with which the relevant calibration sliders move into the beam
path to be adjusted.

The calibration slider test is started with the Start test and conveyors function. In this case the conveyor is
started, the shutters opened and the calibration sliders moved cyclically into the beam path. In this case the
views for the calibration samples shown adjacently arise.

In this test the time between the output of the START_CALI signal and reaching the end position of the
calibration slides is shown in percent. The values are determined anew each time the calibration slides move
in.

A positive sign of the percent display indicates that the inward movement speed is too high.

A negative sign of the percent display indicates that the inward movement speed is too low.

The adjustment of the shutter speed is satisfactory if the displayed values are within a range of + 5%.

The throttle adjustments of the shutters influence one another mutually, so that the adjustments
may have to be repeated.
Changes of the system pressure also lead to fluctuating results.

If a problem occurs with regard to the calibration sliders then the current X-ray image of the calibration sliders
can be saved on a storage medium indicated. This function will also be available if the X-ray unit is in the
normal operating mode. In such case you have to log in as „Service“ and then call up „ Calibration slider
test“ from the Diagnosis menu. Then you can store the X-ray image of the calibration sliders.

On the following page you find an example showing a perfect calibration slider image.

Light barriers

It is possible in the Light barriers diagnosis menu to perform a static test of the discrete light barriers or also
to select the test of the light curtain which indicates simultaneously a dynamic test of the light barriers.

Test of discrete light barriers

Normally light barriers of the type LBT/LBR are built into the X-ray inspection unit. Their transmitters are
switched on and off during the test through the test input to test the correct switching behavior of the
receivers.

The display has the following meaning for the LBT/LBR light barriers:

Free: The light barrier is in order and not interrupted.

Interrupted: The receiver has a constant output potential log0, i.e. the light barrier is interrupted or the
transmitter or the receiver is defective or the connection has a short to ground.
Error: The receiver has a constant output potential log1, even if the transmitter is switched off, i.e.
the receiver is defective or the connection is open.
not existing: The light barrier is not installed.

If other light barriers which cannot be tested dynamically are installed, the display has the following
meaning:

Free: The light barrier output is at log1 potential.

Interrupted: The light barrier output is at log0 potential.

Test of light curtain

The conveyor must be switched on to test the light curtain. For starting use the switches
and or the corresponding keys on the keyboard.

If a bag is now placed on the conveyor, all signals of the light barriers and of the light curtain are displayed on
the display. The height information of the bag placed on the conveyor is shown in the upper display.
On the other hand, the static light barriers show their status with their high level, whether they are
interrupted or not.

This dynamic test offers the possibility of displaying dynamic errors of the static light barriers.

Image transmission test

If the transmission test is switched on, then the images stored in the acquisition controller are transferred to
the relevant selected directory on an available evaluation station.
In the image transmission interval the time in which further images should be transferred after reception of
an evaluation result of the image evaluation station is preselected.
An unmistakable identification of the X-ray images in the status display of the evaluation station can be set
with the bag ID prefix.

The image transmission is activated only if the main menu is exited.

Test of material detection

The recorded image of the test case that still has to be produced is evaluated with the test of material
detection.

Passing this test is the major acceptance criterion for the X-ray unit!
The adjustment suitcase is the tool destined to check the adjustment and geometry data of the unit.

The program returns to the overview image and states in the set frame the determined detection probability
and the density of the determined material.

For the test of the material detection you can use adjustment suitcase 34436851 or 34432743. Both
adjustment suitcases are suited to check the geometry data of the HS 10080 EDt S. The basic difference is
the different positioning of the adjustment suitcase on the belt. Due to the different orientation of the
material probes, you will get two different X-ray images.

In the following paragraph you find a description of the different bag contents and the orientation of the
material probes. Evaluation and troubleshooting are the same for both test suitcases.

Functional test by means of the adjustment suitcase (34432743)

By means of the adjustment suitcase the technical system functions are checked.
It is a tool suitable for checking the adjustment and geometry of the system, i.e. you can only determine, by
means of the adjustment suitcase, if the unit has been properly adjusted.

The suitcase contains three foam layers.

The first layer is used to accommodate the test materials.
The second foam layer accommodates 3 Delrin balls and 3
aluminium balls.
The third layer contains 2 small steel plates, 2 small aluminium
plates, one big aluminium plate and nine lead balls (see yellow
mark in the picture beside).

The second layer is placed into the suitcase in such a way that
one Delrin ball and one aluminium ball lie over the steel plates.
No ball must lie on top of the big aluminium plate!

Í Start the unit and wait for the material calibration being carried out.

Í Put the suitcase on the input belt (in the middle) so that the big aluminium plate enters the tunnel first.

Í Start the scanning of the calibration suitcase in service mode.

Í When the suitcase has left the tunnel, stop the scanning and call the function Test of material detection in

Errors

If not all materials are detected and marked when the test suitcase is scanned for the first time, you have to
have the suitcase scanned once more. If not all marks are set after the second scanning either, you have to
take the following into account:

No frames in any of the views

Possible cause: Wrong adjustment of lines

Correction: Go through all the following points as described in the technical manual:

Í Set lines to maximum by means of the linescope.

Í Calibration of detector lines (offset and range)
Í Geometry calibration by means of calibration sheet
Í Geometry calibration by means of calibration body. Position the calibration body in such a way that it is
located on center of the conveyor when entering the basic unit!
Í Wait for the complete material calibration being completed before scanning the test suitcase once more.

Not each of the six balls is marked

Possible cause: Wrong adjustment of lines

Wrong position of calibration body.
Correction: Go through all the following points as described in the technical manual:

Í Set lines to maximum by means of the linescope.

Í Calibration of detector lines (offset and range)
Í Geometry calibration by means of calibration sheet
Í Geometry calibration by means of calibration body. Position the calibration body in such a way that it is
located on center of the conveyor when entering the basic unit!
Í Wait for the complete material calibration being completed before scanning the test suitcase once more.

If not each of the six balls is marked by a frame when repeating the test, you have to repeat the
scanning 10 times. If all balls are detected in at least 5 attempts, then the unit is correctly adjusted.

95587956 13/08/09 © Smiths Heimann 33

Diagnosis Programs

Not at least 5 out of 9 small balls are marked by frames

Possible cause: Wrong adjustment of lines

Wrong position of calibration body.

Correction: Go through all the following points as described in the technical manual:

Í Geometry calibration by means of calibration sheet

Í Geometry calibration by means of calibration body. Position the calibration body in such a way that it is
located on center of the conveyor when entering the basic unit!
Í Wait for the complete material calibration being completed before scanning the test suitcase once more.

If, again, not at least 5 small balls are marked by frames, you have to repeat the scanning of the
test suitcase 10 times. If more than 5 small balls are detected in at least 5 attempts, then the unit
has been correctly adjusted.

TEST ERROR (Timeout)

Possible cause: The evaluation of the test suitcase is impossible because a

timeout has occurred.

Correction: Place the test suitcase out of the belt middle and start the
evaluation once more.
Switch off the communication with the HMC during this test!

TEST ERROR (out of memory)

Possible cause: Instead of the provided test suitcase with the specified
content, a different suitcase was scanned.

Correction: Use the orignal Smiths Heimann test suitcase (material

number: 34432743 or 34436851). Carry out the test once
more.

Conveyor test

With the conveyor test you can operate the conveyor, e.g. for its adjustment, without X-ray radiation having to
be switched on. For starting use the switches and or the
corresponding keys on the keyboard.

After starting you receive an indication of the nominal conveying speed, i.e. the speed at which the
conveyor must run so that the software can correctly compute the position of bags in the normal operating
sequence, activate the X-ray generator on time and synchronize image processing.

Continuous test
The continuous test enables you to automatically test the X-ray unit over a longer period.

Í After you have started the test with Start test, the conveyors and the X-ray generators are operated. In
intervals the shutter is opened and the calibration body pushed into the beam path.

If error messages occur during the continuous test, these are acknowledged automatically and counted in the
Error field. If fatal errors occur, then the test is interrupted.
It is also possible to stop the test in the case of simple errors.

The error messages can be seen in the Error report in the Diagnosis menu.
