Non-spring loaded HV cable installation:
High Voltage Cable Installation (X-ray Tube):
Wear nitrile gloves and obtain an X-ray tube cable flange. Wipe the flange with a lint free cloth and place
over a clean high voltage cable plug. (One cable flange will fit the X-ray tube and the other will fit the
XRV Generator). Rotate the flange counter clockwise on to the cable threads until it stops. Do not cross
thread the assembly. Insert the clean dry connector into the high voltage cable receptacle of the X-ray
tube with a small amount of force. Adjust the cable flange by rotating it clockwise until the flange is
approximately 1/2 inch from the X-ray tube mounting surface. Insert the gapping tool (5.5m – 6mm)
between the tube mounting surface and the flange. Rotate the flange until it is snug against the gapping
tool. Remove the gapping tool and rotate the flange slightly to align the mounting holes with the x-ray
tube holes. Tighten the grub screws of the cable flange to prevent any further rotation and remove the
plug from the receptacle. Apply 2 thin beads on opposite sides of the rubber cone. Distribute a thin coat
of silicone evenly on the entire cone. Finish the distribution by spreading in a circular fashion around the
circumference of the cone. Do not apply any silicone to the metal tip. If the silicone gets on the metal
tip, use a clean dry lint free cloth to remove it. Insert the HV cable plug into the receptacle until it seats
properly. Use the correct hardware and torque as per manufacturer specifications to tighten the cable
flange screws, alternating between the opposite placed screws.
