Achieva R2 Gradient Amplifier Lab Guide

The Achieva R2 Gradients Review LAB Worksheet outlines procedures for checking gradient amplifier output voltage, measuring bus power supply voltage, and safety protocols after power removal. It explains the absence of slave registers in parallel mode adjustments and the necessity of dual mode adjustments being conducted only in standard mode. Additionally, it highlights that eddy current adjustments are required for both standard and parallel modes, with results stored in specific administration files.

Achieva R2 Gradients Review LAB Worksheet

1. How can the gradient amplifier axis drawer output voltage be checked?
The amplifier axis output voltage cannot be checked (Measured) directly. However, the Gradient Load Test
Explain measures the output voltage and current to calculate resistanct and inductance. If the test passes,
one can assume the output voltage is OK.

2. How can the gradient bus power supply output voltage be measured?
The bus power supply output can be measured, carefully, with a DVM across the bus connectors.
Explain The bus power supply can be checked by the system by running the Gradient Power Supply High
Voltage Test located in the Gradient Diagnostic procedures.

3. After removing power from the gradient amplifiers, how long before it is safe to work on the amplifier?
*SMI Section 17: "Dangerous voltages may remain for up to one minute after power supply is shut off."
Explain
*SPD Section 1, safety: "Wait one minute after shut off. Measure with a DVM to check for less than 2 volts.

4. In the automatic gradient amplifier adjustments, why are there no slave registers in parallel mode?
In parallel mode, the coil half sections are connected into a single series coil load accress the combined parallel
Explain output of both master and slave amplifiers.
During adjustment, both amps registers are simultaneously adjusted.

5. In the automatic gradient amplifier adjustments, why is the dual mode adjustments only done in standard mode?
In the parallel mode, the coil half sections are connected inbto one series coil.
Explain Thus, both coil half sections see the identical current.
This current is the sum of the output from the two axis drawers.
