Safety Summary This equipment produces ionizing X radiation when energized. Do not operate the system without reading and understanding this manual in its entirety. Never allow anyone to ride the Conveyor Belt. Be aware of the normal mechanical hazards of moving conveyor components at both ends of the Conveyor System. Do not allow placement of any part of the body through the lead curtains located at the ends of the Conveyor System Tunnel with the X rays energized. An X-ray hazard could result. Do not operate the system with torn or missing tunnel lead curtain strips. An X-ray hazard could result. If you have any questions concerning regulatory or safety issues, contact your L-3 Communications Security & Detection Systems Customer Support Representative. Due to certification requirements, the system must be installed, maintained and relocated only by L-3 Communications Security & Detection Systems trained and L-3 Communications Security & Detection Systems certified Field Service/Customer Support Representatives. There are no user serviceable parts inside. There are potentially dangerous high voltages inside. Do not attempt to gain access to the subassemblies inside the Mainframe or Operator Console.

Panel Interlocks (Canadian Systems Only) Panel Interlocks are internally-mounted switches located behind the Mainframe access panels on each ACX 6.4-MV System. They are provided as a safety measure such that system operation is immediately stopped whenever an access panel is opened or removed. WARNING! Mainframe access panels should only be removed by authorized personnel. Otherwise, serious injury may occur. If an access panel is opened by L-3 Communications S&DS-trained service personnel or by an authorized supervisor, a mechanical interlock is automatically activated. As a result, X-ray production is disabled and system conveyor movement is halted. Once a panel interlock is activated, it must be reset by replacing the panel. After the panel is replaced, the system may resume normal operation after a conveyor button is pressed. 2. Panel Interlock Condition Close panels to restore operation

Emergency Stops Emergency Stops are standard on the ACX 6.4-MV. They are located at the entrance and exit above the tunnel and on the operator console. Pressing an E-Stop activates it. To de-activate the EStop, either pull out the E-Stop on the operator console, or for the others turn them in the direction of the arrows. Then follow the onscreen instructions to continue.

Operator Sensor An Operator Sensor can be in the form of a Floormat. The Sensor is used to ensure that an operator is in front of the Operator Console when the system is operating. When an Operator Sensor is installed and enabled, the system will only operate if the operator is at the Operator Console. Stepping away from the Operator Console stops the conveyor and ceases all X-ray generation. The Display Monitor Toolbar is covered by an error message. Once the operator steps back into position, the message is removed and the system resumes normal operation.

Operator Sensor Interlock Please return to the normal operating position NOTE Use of an Operator Sensor is a requirement for systems used within the US and Canada.

The system automatically generate alerts of suspicious areas by placing a box around the suspicious portions of the displayed image on Monitor A to help the operator quickly resolve suspect items. The dual energy scanners provide precision high voltage pulses to three X-ray generators, Views A, B and C, that produce alternating X-ray pulses at two different X-ray energy spectra. The detector subsystems consist of up to three right angled, 'L shaped' arrays utilizing proprietary detector circuitry. The view C and view A arrays have 1152 detectors each and the view B array has 1088 detectors. Approximately one half million pixels of X-ray attenuation data are obtained per energy/per scan (x3) and are aggregated into tens of thousands of regions that are examined and merged into hundreds of objects. The composition of each object is analyzed independently and compared to a database of target materials. The algorithms perform the multi-level analysis required in order to detect a wide spectrum of various explosives that could be contained in the scanned item. The analysis includes, but is not limited to, object definition and isolation, composition analysis, determination of object mass, object density, as well as shape and other specific object oriented heuristics. The system incorporates high reliability, industrial quality components and features extensive self test and diagnostic capabilities to ensure the required high level of accuracy and stability in a sometimes hostile airport baggage room environment. It continuously monitors internal voltages, temperatures, and safety interlocks

When the feedback voltage from the X-ray tank indicates that X-rays are being generated, LEDs located on the Console and the X-ray On lights at both ends of the Mainframe are lit. The lights at both ends of the Mainframe are driven directly by the X-ray hardware on the X-ray Controller. The photocells between the first and second view are used internally for tracking of the item being inspected. The exit tunnel wall photocells are used to determine when a bag exits the inspection tunnel and this is used to determine when to turn off X-rays. Note that the belt can be run in both the forward and reverse direction. X-rays are generated only when the belt is going in the forward direction and after the item being inspected is detected by the entrance photocells.

System Overview

8100-11633-TM

Output voltage performance for the X-ray tube operational range is programmed to be within 80 to 160 kV (±40kV to ±80kV) and is measured at the tube to within ±2% of the selected value. Voltage regulation is <0.05% for ±10% of the nominal input line change and <0.05% for 0.1mA to 1.2mA load change. The mA/kV ramp time is less than 200 mS from 10% - 90% of the output voltage and current. The kV overshoot returns to within 5% of full output voltage in less than 10ms. The X-ray tube generates a fan-beam of X-rays that penetrate the item under inspection as it passes through the Inspection Tunnel. The X-ray fan beam is approximately 60 degrees by 0.1 inch wide. X-ray Detectors For each X-ray tank there is a detector subsystem. Each detector subsystem consists of two arrays of detectors that are positioned around the X-ray focal point. The detectors are mounted in a rightangled 'L-shaped' configuration that utilizes proprietary detector circuitry. Every second, 240 lines of data are generated. Each line of data contains high and low detector values. The digitized detector data is then sent to the computer for analysis. The Detector Array for views A and C consists of 18 Detector Boards and for view B consist of 17 Detector Boards. Each detector board is comprised of a High energy side and a Low-energy side. Each board has 32 High and 32 Low. The detectors on the Low-energy side are made of an intensifying screen mounted to a silicon photodiode array. The detectors on the High-energy Amp Boards are made of a laddered arrangement of scintillators mounted to silicon photodiodes. Each detector box assembly has an A/D Converter Board next to it that it connects to via a ribbon cable. The boards receive power and addressing information through the cables and return analog signals to the A/D Converter Board through the cables. Each A/D Converter Board digitizes the data it receives and sends it to a PCI Interface Board located inside the computer. Therefore there is one A/D Converter Board and one PCI Interface Board per view. Clock and control signals originate at the PCI Interface Board and are transmitted to the A/D Converter Board. A Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) on the A/D Converter Board receives the signal and responds by generating all addressing information and converting commands to read all high and all low channels in 4.1 milliseconds. This reading process occurs 4 times, which yields four lines of data. After receiving all four lines of data, the A/D Converter Board waits to receive the next pulse, which occurs every 16.667 milliseconds. This results in a rate of 240 lines of data each second. The L-shaped Detector Array is mounted opposite the X-ray Source. The arrays for views A and C consists of 18 Detector Boards for a total of 1152 (576 High and 576 Low) Diodes and the arrays for view B consists of 17 Detector Boards for a total of 1088 (544 High and 544 Low) Diodes. Power is supplied via cable 1200-11716-00 from the GDB-II board to the ADC7 board. Cables 1200-10796-xx connects the ADC7 and the Detector Arrays and is used to transfer data and control information. Cables 1200-11041-xx connects the ADC7 and the Computer Arrays and is used to transfer data and control information.

3. Make sure that the screws are equal distance on both sides. 4. Run the belt in the FORWARD direction for several minutes to ensure that the belt tracks true. 5. From the entrance observe whether the conveyor belt moves toward the left or right side, or puckers (lifting of the belt because of excess tracking). 6. If poor tracking or puckering should occur, adjust the position of the snub pulleys as follows: Left side poor tracking/puckering: Adjust the position of the left hand side snub pulley bracket toward the entrance pulley as necessary until no further poor tracking occurs. Tip - Make small adjustments to the bracket position, leave the belt running for several minutes before making further adjustments to this bracket. The action of moving the snub towards the pulley drives the conveyor belt onto the pulley and pushes it away to the right. If the left hand side of the machine is inaccessible, perform the procedure from the right hand side of the machine. Move the snub pulley bracket away from the entrance pulley toward the tunnel as necessary until no further poor tracking occurs. Make small adjustments as above and observe the belt for several minutes. Right side poor tracking/puckering: Adjust the position of the right hand side snub pulley bracket toward the entrance pulley as necessary until no further poor tracking occurs. Tip - Make small adjustments to the bracket position as mentioned above and observe the belt for several minutes.

Chapter 6. Subsystems The ACX 6.4-MV Detection Systems consists of several subsystems that control overall operation. This chapter contains information theory of operation for the Mainframe Subsystems.

6.1 Mainframe Subsystems The Mainframe contains several subsystems that control the overall operation of the ACX 6.4-MV.

6.1.1 Power Distribution The Mainframe houses a universal Isolation Transformer that accepts 100 to 240 Volts of singlephase AC current at either 50 or 60 Hz with 3.0 kVA maximum - manual tapping must be performed. For the maximum current draw refer to section 2.2 on page 2-2. For example, for a two view system the maximum current draw at 100-120 VAC is 12.25 amps and at 220-240 VAC is 6 amps. The Power Distribution System is controlled by the General Distribution Board-II (GDB-II).
