Tube load
o Bar display for the current thermal load on the X-ray tube assembly
HU This display (HU = Heat Units) indicates the thermal condition of the anode.
If the red range is reached (approx. 75%)

, an acoustic signal sounds as a warning
of overload. You can continue to perform fluoroscopy. However, we recommend
selecting pulsed fluoroscopy with a low pulse rate so that the anode cools down
quicker.
Acquisition series are not blocked automatically. However, we recommend se-
lecting an acquisition program with a low frame rate, if possible.

The threshold at which the audible signal sounds depends on the X-ray tube and is configured by
Siemens Service.
When the HU threshold value is exceeded, the overload computer of the tube
assembly is activated, because the tube is then being operated within the range
of increased wear.
Repeated exceeding of the HU threshold value can reduce the service life of the
tube.
Overload can cause permanent damage to the tube. This will void any warranty
claims.
