Programmed KV Control Board Replacement

Prerequisites

Overview

This procedure defines the replacement process for Programmed kV Control Board. Please check the programmed kV control board type by following the below steps before replacement.

  1. Open a shell, type:

    rsh orp

    jediInfoShow

  2. JEDI info displays.
    • If jedi_sw_dsp_ver is 12.**-****, the kV control board is SoC board.
    • If jedi_sw_dsp_ver is not 12.**-****, for example: 10.**-**** or 11.**-****, the kV control board is PPC board.

    Figure 1. Example for SoC Control Board

  • If possible, upload JEDI database (from JEDI to console)

  • Remove front cover of the Power Unit

  • Replace Programmed KV Control board

  • Replace the front cover

  • Reload JEDI software and appropriate database

1 Programmed KV Control Removal

Procedure

    • danger
    • Electrocution hazard.
    • High Voltage present.
    • USE PROPER LOCKOUT/TAGOUT PROCEDURES.
  1. Upload JEDI database (from JEDI) if you wish to retain the existing database after new KV control board installation. In most cases you will want to perform this step, however it may not be possible, depending on the failed KV control board. If it’s not possible, move on.
  2. Move table to its lowest elevation.
  3. Remove power to the gantry using proper Lockout/Tagout procedures.
  4. Remove side top and front gantry covers.
  5. Turn OFF all 3 switches (Axial Drive, HVDC, 120VAC) on the Service Switch Panel.
  6. Unscrew the 12 hex head screws, and remove the front cover from the Power Unit.
  7. Disconnect the 2 ribbon cables from the KV Control board.
  8. Disconnect all wire connections from the board.
