curve using FSSS. The selection of gamma can be per-
formed by the default setting, AE title setting from DI-
COM BOARD or Config setting. In the service mode, the
selected gamma is indicated as G=x in the lower area of
the printed output. So it can be checked. Be sure to per-
form calibration before printing the image for obtaining the
approval of gamma.

8. Check other setting


As for FRAME TYPE, the image frame can be enlarged.
The density in the edge of film is not uniform, therefore
the image quality of the area outside of the specified size

About the densitometer for UP-DF500;
The correct density of the UPT-517BL film used in UP-
DF500 cannot be measured by X-Rite301 due to the
difference of spectroscopic characterization. In the service,
it is recommended to use the above handy densitometer.
In the practical use, UP-DF500 has the internal densitome-
ter. By performing the calibration, it is possible to control
the print density that is enough to make a diagnosis.
Therefore, it is not required to use the external densitome-
ter separately.
n
In the case that the hospital controls the density by using
X-Rite301, the filter for UPT-517BL is available.

n
The version upgrade of DICOM BOARD is performed to improve the connectivity with the new Modali-
ty. It is recommended to use this as it is unless the version upgrade is specified by technical news, etc.

Item Action

and DICOM using FSSS.
. Implement the anti-virus patch for DICOM BOARD.

2-7-6. Confirmation

n
Before performing the calibration, ask users about the calibration status of use for confirmation. If the
unit has been operated without calibration for long period of time, the print density gradually changes,
which may give impression that the density is changed after the calibration is performed (after mainte-
nance check). In such a state, perform the calibration after explaining the function of calibration to the
user.

Item Action

Perform FULL RANGE → CAL PRINT CHECK. . Write the lot of film. (Lot No. of packing box or Media Tag

. Check if the printing is normal. → Check the list.

2-8. Unleaded Solder

Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with a lead free mark (LF) indicating the solder
contains no lead.
(Caution: Some printed circuit boards may not come printed with the lead free mark due to their particular
size.)

: LEAD FREE MARK

m
. Be sure to use the unleaded solder for the printed circuit board printed with the lead free mark.
. The unleaded solder melts at a temperature about 40 dC higher than the ordinary solder, therefore, it is
recommended to use the soldering iron having a temperature regulator.
. The ordinary soldering iron can be used but the iron tip has to be applied to the solder joint for a
slightly longer time. The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if the heated tip is applied for too
long, so be careful.

7-2. Mechanical Troubleshooting

For the judgment of a defective point, the defective point is restricted with reference to “7-3. Electrical
Troubleshooting” after confirming “7-1-2. Error Message List” and “7-1-3. Error History”.
This section describes the measures to be taken for a mechanical trouble little related to the electrical
block (a motor or sensor). For the defective operation of a motor and sensor, refer to “7-3. Electrical
Troubleshooting”.
n
When the front, top, and rear doors are opened, an interlock switch functions and a printer does not
operate. Confirming the operation with the door opened improves the operation efficiency when
analyzing a trouble. To satisfy the safety standard, a strapping switch cannot be installed in an interlock
switch circuit. However, interlocking can be released by strapping the cable connected to connector CN-
6903 on the CN-2325 relay board.

Replace the separation roller assembly when the rollers are
very dirty.
5. Oblique flaw Flaw occurring during film insertion
This flaw occurs with the film belt broken or during incorrect
film insertion.
A film was ejected from or inserted into the tray to clear
jamming while it is being used.
A printer was moved with the film inserted.
Clean the tray or confirm that a film is properly inserted during
normal operation.
6. Oblique flaw Flaw in the eject tray
Since many printed films exist in the eject tray, they were
rubbed with one another.
Flaw on the underside Confirm that the full stack sensor is normal.
Confirm that the eject tray is installed properly.

SAFETY CHECK-OUT

After correcting the original service problem,


perform the following safety checks before
releasing the set to the customer :

Check the metal trim, “metallized” knobs, screws,


and all other exposed metal parts for AC
leakage. Check leakage as described below.

LEAKAGE TEST

The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to


earth ground and from all exposed metal parts to
any exposed metal part having a return to
chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA. Leakage
current can be measured by any one of three
methods.

1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the


Simpson 229 or RCA WT-540A. Follow the
manufacturers’ instructions to use these
instruments.
2. A battery-operated AC milliammeter. The
Data Precision 245 digital multimeter is
suitable for this job.
3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor
by means of a VOM or battery-operated AC
voltmeter. The “limit” indication is 0.5 V, so
analog meters must have an accurate low-
voltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa
SH-63Trd are examples of a passive VOM
that is suitable. (See Fig. A)
