About this task
The UPM Functional checks for 1.5T consist of three automated tests:
-
Average power at TG=200
-
RF Inhibit test (Check that RF is disabled when inhibit condition)
-
Trip Test
All 3 automated tests must pass to ensure the correct operation of the Universal Power monitor system.
Run both Head and Body UPM Functional checks for the proper system type.

About this task
Procedure
Troubleshooting RF Amp and UPM
Procedure
- Solution 1: Repeat the UPM Functional Test for the receive chain that failed. (Head or Body).
- Solution 2:
- Reset TPS
- Repeat the UPM Functional Test for the receive chain that failed. (Head or Body).
- Solution 3: Reboot the system.
- Solution 4
- Check if RF output power for the failed chain is within specification at TG=200. (Head or Body). If not, re-calibrate RF output power for the chain that failed. Perform Body and Head Maximum Power Setup and Calibration to check the RF output power.
- Repeat the UPM Functional Test for the receive chain that failed. (Head or Body).
Finalization
Procedure
Upon successful completion of the functional check(s):
- Place the RF ENABLE switch on front of exciter in the DISABLE (Down) position.
- Return the system to patient scanning configuration.
- Perform test scan.
