1.5.6 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

This system meets the requirements of the EMC standards indicated in the declaration of conformity (see
chapter 6).
9
1.5.7 Radiation protection
Caution : With the high voltage switched on, this system generates X-rays which, in the event of
misuse, can be harmful to ones health. The system should only be operated by skilled and qualified
personnel. The safety key must be kept so that the system is prevented from being unintentionally switched
on.
The owner is responsible for the system being operated in compliance with the local X-ray regulations.
The radiation protection must be checked and monitored by authorized personnel. Most countries enforce
specific X-ray equipment safety regulations. Consult the relevant local authorities before operating the X-ray
equipment.
Caution : Be aware that the X-ray beam always creates radiation in the direction behind the X-
rayed specimen. Be aware of scatter radiation in general.
For this reason every precaution must be taken to prevent persons from being exposed to direct X-ray beam
as well as the scatter radiation field.
1. Aim the X-ray beam towards the ground or wall (preferably an outer wall).
2. Provide a screen with adequate lead lining to absorb all radiation behind the X-rayed specimen, i.e. 4
mm lead for 160 kV; 5 mm for 200 kV, 12 mm for 300 kV.
3. Keep the number of individuals permitted in the vicinity of X-ray activity to an absolute minimum.
Note: The useful X-ray beam may be dangerous at distances as great as 100 m from the X-ray system.
The X-ray tube beam port is made up of a thin beryllium window, in front of which is an aluminum filter. The
aluminum filter can be removed by means of suitable tools. This should be done only for special applications
and when absolutely necessary.
Caution : The total filtration of the X-ray beam affected by the beryllium window is very low, so the
radiation output, even for a short period of operation, can cause severe skin burns and/or eye damage if
the X-ray beam were to hit a person
For this reason all safety measures must be observed, particularly if the X-ray tube head is operated without
the filter.
Caution : The specified portable X-ray systems are based on constant potential technology, and like
other constant potential X-ray sets, the high voltage generating circuits contain a certain stored energy. In
normal circumstances this stored energy is discharged within a fraction of a second at the end of X-ray
exposure, but in the event of malfunction or equipment failure this discharging may be impaired in the
specified portable X-ray systems as in any other constant potential X-ray system. The stored energy will, in
this case, slowly discharge over an indefinite period of time, which may be several minutes, and during this
time a measurable amount of radiation is generated. Whether the discharge time is long or short, the total
dose radiated is limited by the amount of stored energy
For all specified portable X-ray systems it will be a small number of microsieverts (Sv) even under the most
unfavorable circumstances (maximum kV, dose directly on outer surface, etc.).
10
1.5.8 Structural changes
It is prohibited to make structural changes, extensions or alterations without YXLONs written approval.
Any defective part must be replaced immediately.
It is not permissible to use spares other than genuine spare and wearing parts.
Modifications to improve the equipment are a continuing process and the diagrams are subject to change at
any time without prior notice. Diagrams and drawings in the user manual may not be up-to-date. Prints
containing the latest revisions are available upon request.

1.9 Cleaning
Caution : Prior to cleaning, turn off the power supply and disconnect from AC mains!
Make sure that water or other liquids are prevented from getting into the appliance, which will help prevent
short-circuits in the electrical installation and corrosion of components.
Plastic surfaces should be cleaned with soapy water only. If other cleaning agents are used (e.g. with a high
alcohol content), the material will become dull or cracked. Do not use any corrosive, solvent or abrasive
cleaning and polishing agents. Lacquered parts and aluminum surfaces should be wiped using a moist cloth
and soapy water.
1.10 Disposal
When handled properly, an X-ray system is not hazardous for the user or the environment. Operation of an X-
ray system, however, requires the use of coolants that can be harmful to the environment and should therefore
be disposed of properly, in accordance with the applicable regulations.
Electrical waste, cooling water, greases should not be disposed of along with normal industrial or domestic waste.
X-ray tube heads contain potentially substances, such as beryllium windows and a lead shielding that are
harmful to the environment. These components should therefore be disposed of in a manner which protects
the environment.

1.12 Transport
When transporting the specified portable X-ray systems by car, please ensure that the equipment is properly
secured in order to avoid any risk and protect the equipment and surroundings if an emergency situation
should occur. For safe transportation and storage please use the original boxes supplied together with the
equipment when possible.
The CONTROL EVO is designed to be transported by a human person, by using the handle or by using the
shoulder strap. This is defined as normal use of the handle and the shoulder strap.
1.13 Lifting by crane

Use the correct procedure when lifting the X-ray tube head by
crane. When lifting a tube head by crane, there is a risk of tearing off
a hand ring. This may happen if the lifting gear is attached to the
upper hand ring and the tube head becomes entangled in or blocked
by other gear, or if the motion of the crane is too sudden, or if the
tube head drops a certain distance while attached to the crane wire.
In order to avoid damage to the equipment and/or injury to personnel

in such cases, hoisting gear must always be used with a minimum of
three wires attached to the lower hand ring of the tube head and with
each of the three wires passing inside the upper hand ring. Of the
minimum three wires, for each section of the lower hand ring
between its fixing points at least one wire must be attached and it
must pass inside and between the corresponding fixing points of the
upper hand ring.
1.14 Daily handling

The tube heads are heavy equipment and the operators are recommended to use appropriate tools for
transport, reposition and fixture in order to minimize physical impact on the operators and ensure stable
fixture of the tube head during operation.

2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF
EVO X-RAY SERIES
This section gives basic information about EVO X-ray series. The following is a brief description and
its underlying principles.
2.1 General description

The EVO X-ray series consists of a tube head generating the X-rays, a connection cable, a control unit and
a power cable. Operation of the system is only possible through the control unit or from an external device
through the USB, Ethernet or Bluetooth interface (special software required).
The EVO X-ray series use the constant potential principle which means that the X-ray output is generated
from a DC high voltage.
The operations are controlled from a computer installed in the control unit and all information regarding
kV, mA and time is clearly visible on the 6.5 color display. Any additional system information regarding
measurements, states or error messages are also presented on this display.
In order to secure a safe environment for the operator, tube lamps, primary external warning lamp and push
buttons are supervised. A malfunction will prevent the generation of X-rays, and any ongoing exposure will
be terminated, followed by an error message on the display

2.3 EVO water-cooled X-ray series

The EVO series directional tube heads and the CONTROL EVO are available in a hybrid cooled version
where the anode is water-cooled and the cathode and tube tank is air cooled. This allows exposures in very
high ambient temperatures, exposures longer than 60 minutes or 24/7 exposure.
It is always the responsibility of the user to ensure that that adequate cooling water is available, failure to do
so will invalidate the warranty.
The CONTROL EVO has an interface for a flow / temperature switch which prevents operation or terminates
an ongoing exposure if connected and activated trough the safety configuration menu.

2.4 EVO X-ray series tube head principles

The EVO X-ray series are air cooled or air/water-cooled. If the maximum temperature is reached in the
anode end or cathode end, the tube head will perform a protective shutdown in order to protect the system
from damage.
The tube head has a 12-pin metallic connector for the connection cable to the CONTROL EVO. Use the
dust cap in order to protect the inner parts of the connector from dirt and water when the tube head is not
connected to the control unit.
A clearly marked pin for additional grounding is located on top of the EVO X-ray series tube head in the
cathode end.
SMART EVO / PXS EVO directional tube heads are equipped with five laser diodes (Class 2 Laser) which
indicate the area covered by the X-ray beam at any distance from the tube head and the center of the beam
with a 25 mm off set. Always make sure that no part of the X-ray beam irradiates persons or areas out of
16
unsupervised areas by the operator. The EVO panoramic tube heads has six laser diodes (Class 2 Laser) indicating
the center of the X-ray beam with an off-set of 34 mm. The XPO EVO / PXS EVO 225D/1200 tube head has one
laser diode (Class 2 Laser), indicating the center of the X-ray beam.
Caution : Do not stare directly in the laser beams
The laser diodes are controlled from a push button located on top of the SMART EVO / PXS EVO tube head.
The laser diode on the XPO EVO / PXS EVO 225D/1200 tube head is controlled from the CONTROL EVO.
The EVO X-ray series tube heads have a clearly visible warning light. The warning light is monitored, and a
malfunction will prevent or abort X-ray operation.
The pressure inside the tank can be read from the gauge on top of the SMART EVO / PXS EVO tube
head. If the pressure is too high or too low, X-ray operation will automatically be prevented or aborted in
order to protect the tube head.

The EVO X-ray series tube head has a beam blocker (directional) or
lead belt (panoramic) in order to minimize radiation to leakage
radiation level during run-in.
A Laser diodes for indication of X-ray beam
B Beam blocker for safe run-in
In order to reduce scatter radiation to the surrounding area, as well

as to improve the image quality, a filter carrier can be used with the
X-ray tube head. This filter carrier can carry 1-3, 0.1 mm cupper filters
(optional filters). This filter carrier also fits together with the slit
apertures.
A slit aperture for 10x48 cm films, 700 mm FFD is also included in the
specified portable X-ray systems.
The XPO EVO / PXS EVO 225D/1200 tube head has a beam
blocker and a laser indicator, with a 47 mm offset from the focal
spot.

2.4.1 Slit aperture SMART EVO / PXS EVO tube heads

The un-milled disc for a customized slit aperture can be adapted to
local requirements when another FFD or/and film size are
necessary. A and B are in mm, and film length and FFD must be in
cm.

2.4.4 Lead belt EVO series panoramic tube head
The lead belt for the EVO series panoramic tube heads is fully re-engineered and based on a new principle.
The lead belt consist of three closed sections which can be used during Run-in and a section with a 38 x 60
slit which allow the tube head to be used as a directional tube head if necessary.
Each section can also be mounted individually which means that a beam coverage of 120 or 240 can be
achieved.
The principle is based on that the alignment taps on the lead belt has to be put through the corresponding
holes, gently pushed into position and kept fixed into position by the locking knobs. The lead belt can be
mounted with the tube head in both vertical and horizontal position.
How to mount the lead belt:
1. Place the EVO panoramic tube head in upright position (cathode end upper most)
2. Ensure that the two locking knobs on each section are in outer most position
3. Grab a section, hold it in upright position with the locking levers closest to the floor
4. Place the two alignment taps in front of the two corresponding holes and push the section straight in
5. Push the section downwards until the alignment taps are in bottom position
6. Turn the two locking levers to inner-most position
7. Re-do the procedure for the two other sections
When the lead belt has to be removed do as follows:
1. The two locking levers has to be turned to outer most position

2. The section has to be lifted upwards and pulled outwards at the same time until the two alignment
taps can be pulled out
Mounting and removal of the section with slit follows the same principles.
When the lead belt is mounted with all three sections, the leakage radiation will be below 5 mSv/h for EVO
panoramic 300 kV tube head, and 2.0 mSv/h for EVO panoramic 200 kV tube head.

The control unit will automatically identify the connected tube head and automatically set the run-in and
operational limitations for the connected tube head. It is only allowed to connect one tube head at a time to
the CONTROL EVO.
The user interface in the CONTROL EVO is divided into three main parts. The operator has direct access to
basic functions from the keypad, such as kV, mA and time functions, ensuring the user a smarter workflow.
These settings are the most commonly used and direct access to them reduces complexity and saves
time. They allow the user to get the job done without having to fully use the more advanced features
All functions related to the on-site use of the equipment are located in the user menu and all of the more
technical or administrative functions are located in the tech menu. On one hand, this provides a simple and
intuitive user interface, and on the other hand, it support more advanced features. The tech menu and the
user menu have each a key for direct access from the keypad.
An emergency stop is located on top of the control unit. In case of an emergency, the X-rays will be
deactivated instantly and cannot be activated again until the emergency button has been unlocked again
by a clockwise turn.
A push-button is located on each side of the emergency button for activation and de-activation of the X-rays.
The lamps in these buttons are monitored, and a malfunction will prevent or abort X-ray operation. The color
can be configured in order to comply with local regulations.

3 OPERATION
3.1 Important operational advices
Caution : Do not turn off power immediately after exposure as it may result in damage to the X-ray
target.
Caution : It is strictly forbidden to connect two tube heads at one time. The CONTROL EVO control
unit can only operate safely with one tube head.
Please always ensure there is a proper ground connection in order to ensure safety and
optimum operational stability. Ground connection can be mounted on the PE connection on the
CONTROL EVO control unit.
The SMART EVO / PXS EVO X-ray system has an excellent thermal performance, and one
hour of continuous exposure at max. kV, max. mA at 35C ambient temperature can be
expected. However, if extreme conditions cause thermal cut-outs, reducing the output power by
10-20% may result in significantly prolonged operation.
The CONTROL EVO control unit has been developed to improve performance when operated from a
mobile generator. However, please note the generator must be able to handle a raise from idle to full
X-ray power (100 W 2 kW) within 5 seconds without a loss of regulation. It is also important that the
generator is able to handle a termination of the exposure without uncontrolled voltage overshoots.
Please consult the supplier of the generator for additional information.
Place the CONTROL EVO control unit in such a way that free operation and monitoring of display are
secured and ensure free airflow around the tube head in order to achieve an efficient cooling.
3.2 Basic operating instructions

3.2.4 Run-in procedure

If the X-ray system has been idle in certain period, the tube head needs a run-in in order to condition the
tube head to the desired kV level. This will secure stable operation during the exposure. The duration of the
run-in is automatically calculated by the CONTROL EVO and depends on the selected kV and how long the
X-ray tube head has been used last time on that particular CONTROL EVO. The duration of the calculated
run-in can be up to 27 minutes depending on tube head model.
When the CONTROL EVO identify a need for run-in, the message Run-in needed will be displayed and the
automatic calculated run-in time can be selected by pressing the time button followed by .
If stable behavior of the X-ray tube head cannot be achieved through the standard run-in duration, an
extended run-in can be selected. Please see section: Exposure settings.

The applications section consists of the most commonly used applications related to the daily tasks: the
exposure calculator for calculating the exposure time, the saved exposure profiles with additional data, the
exposure diagrams for a brief overview of the required exposure time and the basic calculator used for all
kinds of ad-hoc calculations.
44
3.5.1.1 Exposure calculator
The CONTROL EVO exposure calculator is a useful tool for the
operator when determining the correct exposure time as quickly as
possible. In auto-calculate mode, the current tube head connected,
selected from the list, or tube head selected in demo mode is used.
The operator is able to choose between materials, three different film

manufactures, one custom, computed radiography (CR), digital
radiography (DR), and the specific film type and its corresponding
class.
The operator can select the desired film focus distance, the density
and the tube voltage. The current is based on the maximum
possible current for the selected tube voltage.
The factor can be used as a compensation factor for alloys or other

offsets. 1.1 means 10% will be added to the calculated exposure time.
If auto-calculate is selected, the result will be updated for every

change in the input fields. If the auto- calculate is deselected, the
operator will be able to change the mA setting and see the influence
on the exposure time.
The result can be transferred to the main screen in order to be used

directly as exposure settings, or it can be stored as an exposure
profile if a tube head other than the one connected is selected in the
list of tube heads.
It is possible for the operator to define customized film types and

specialized CR or DR parameters by choosing custom for the film
manufacturer, and then selecting the film manufacturer and type on
which the calculations should be based. Next, select the desired offset
and save the new customized film type.
Please note that other factors such as the developing process,

contents of other materials in the alloy and other factors that are
beyond the control of the X-ray equipment may have a significant
impact on the resulting film density.
3.5.1.2 Exposure profiles

Exposure profiles can be used to store commonly used exposure settings, including relevant information
that can be recalled and used for future jobs.
An exposure profile is a set of exposure data that is saved with data from the exposure calculator, or
from the exposure history, along with any additional information entered by the user. Each exposure
profile can be recalled for use in future jobs within same application.
The CONTROL EVO allows exposure profiles to be created. These profiles can be created directly via the
exposure profile section, the exposure calculator or via the exposure history.
The exposure settings for each profile can be transferred to the main screen. If the kV or mA from a profile
exceeds the limits for the connected tube, these values will be overruled by the limits of the actual tube.
45
Select new profile to create a new item. The length of the profile
name can be as long as necessary and is created using the virtual
keyboard. Use the < > keys in the virtual key board to read the full
name in the profile field. By default, the name indicates the origin of
editing, the tube type and number. By default, a new profile uses the
kV, mA and time settings displayed on the main screen.
The exposure calculator page can be selected when editing or

creating new profiles.
The comment field can be used for entering additional information

regarding the type of shot, workplace or other information the operator
finds valuable. Select the edit section, and use the virtual key board
to change the name or enter comments.
In order to give the best possible overview, the search filter can be
used to list the only the profiles starting with the requested characters
or digits.
The CONTROL EVO can handle up to 100 exposure profiles.
The operator can save the exposure profiles on a USB memory device and transfer these profiles to another
CONTROL EVO. Please see Back-up / restore user settings for more information
3.5.1.3 Exposure diagrams

calculation. The numbers and the operators are controlled via the
numeric keys and the arrow keys on the keypad. The calculator is
fully integrated with all numerical fields in the user interface and
can be activated by long-press enter. The numerical field will
automatically be updated when the equal sign (=) is activated.
46
3.5.2 Exposure history
The CONTROL EVO can store up to 100 historic exposures. Each
exposure is assigned a number, date and time, tube head type, tube
head D-number, duration, kV, mA and exposure termination
status/reason. It is possible to manually sort and use filters in order
to get the best possible overview. Use the arrow keys to navigate
through the list and to highlight the field where the filters are found.
Select the desired exposure by pressing . Three options are now

available. By selecting graph, a graph showing the kV and mA
through the entire exposure will appear on the screen. Any fluctuation
in the kV and mA values can be evaluated if necessary.
To transfer the settings to the main screen, select Use as demand.

The kV, mA and exposure time settings can now be used for the next
exposure.
