Re: Hello! Lixi PS-500 unit


 

Well my new friend just got here!? ?She's a hefty girl.? They did carefully foam it in the box.? ?I pulled every piece for a quick inspection and it looks like it's all there,? if a little dusty/grimy.??

One display panel on the power supply is popped loose from the front panel,? likely from the foam.? Nothing looks like an impact.?

The real killer is that I leave for a conference in the morning and need to pack tonight,? back Sunday so I might not get a chance to play with it and maybe power it up until some time next week.?

Looks like the little box with knobs is for the ccd camera.?

The source/ imager assembly is really heavy,? thick stainless steel.? ?I'm at work and have a ton to do,? so I didn't take any pictures.? Plus,? the office girls up front think I'm a little more crazy than before,? so...

Picture of same model(?) that ran through the shop last year-
This one was in a cabinet unit version called the "Workstation" it lives at the Mayo Clinic as a "OS Table Top" unit now.

The big cable coming out the back of the control unit carries HV from the controller to the tube head. Another version uses a much smaller control box and has the HV unit inside the head/tube assembly.? The former are much easier/cheaper to repair/replace just the tube.

On the front end of the Image Intensifier, there is a round plate- this is the scatter shield.

Those tube's nameplate might look like max I is 0-2mA but it is actually Max= 0.2 mA= 200 microamps. Normal use is less than 100 uA.
