STOP Emergency Shutdown button (EPO) The emergency SHUTDOWN button is used to immediately switch off the electric power of the entire system in an emergency. This shutdown is like a power failure, an uncontrolled process. Therefore, use this button only in an extreme emergency, such as a fire. Using the emergency SHUTDOWN button (installed on-site) means that: • All unit movements will be interrupted. • Radiation will be turned off. • The current system program will be interrupted. • Current operating sequences will be interrupted and cleared. • All current acquisition data will be cleared unless saved to non-volatile memory. • Data like unsaved images, exporting, filming, jobs, etc., could be lost. • The tube cooling system is also disconnected from the power supply, and the tube can overheat. • If a flat detector is used, it is also disconnected from the power supply. After the power has been switched on again, an additional waiting time is required to ensure optimum image quality.
