Field light on-time issue
Error Code System Message
FLDLT TIME LIMIT / FLDLT BYTE LIMIT
Question
How does the AMX-Series field light timing work?
Short Answer
The field light is controlled by a calibrated on-time and may remain on for a limited period after the switch is released; software imposes a maximum on time.
Possible Causes
Field-light timer calibration or switch/control issue.
Troubleshooting Steps
Verify field-light switch operation and calibrated on-time. If the light does not time out or shuts off prematurely, inspect the field-light timing/calibration path.
Parts Areas to Check
Field light; CPU timing/calibration

Error Number
Filament-current table problem
Error Code System Message
HIGH FIL LIMIT / LOW FIL LIMIT / FIL feedback errors
Question
How do I troubleshoot AMX-Series filament-current calibration limits?
Short Answer
The filament table is calibrated at specific kVp points and emission-current targets, with interpolation between calibrated points.
Possible Causes
Filament feedback calibration; table-point limit; tube aging; kVp feedback issue.
Troubleshooting Steps
Verify filament feedback, tube/cathode connections, kVp feedback and calibration points. Repeat the affected point and continue only after values stay within limits.
Parts Areas to Check
Filament circuit; X-ray tube; generator control

Error Number
Generator fault during prep/exposure
Error Code System Message
ERROR 320-469
Question
How should I troubleshoot an AMX-Series generator fault?
Short Answer
The application generator errors identify which part of the prep/exposure sequence failed, including field light, rotor, tap relay, kVp, filament, X-ray-on, pressure switch, timing, and interlocks.
Possible Causes
Generator control sequence did not receive the expected feedback or timing.
Troubleshooting Steps
Record the exact 3-digit/hex application error. Check the corresponding critical-status signal, interlock, relay, feedback path, or calibration indicated in the table before replacing components.
Parts Areas to Check
Generator control board; CPU board; rotor; inverter; filament; tap relay; HV circuits

HANDLE CAL ERR 4
Error Code System Message
HANDLE CAL ERR 4 - Handle calibration sequence failed
Question
What does HANDLE CAL ERR 4 mean on a GE AMX-Series mobile X-ray?
Short Answer
HANDLE CAL ERR 4: Handle calibration sequence failed.
Possible Causes
Drive handle calibration aborted or did not complete correctly.
Troubleshooting Steps
Return handle to correct position, verify calibration sequence and repeat.

Error Number
HIGH FIL LIMIT
Error Code System Message
HIGH FIL LIMIT - High filament-current calibration limit exceeded
Question
What does HIGH FIL LIMIT mean on a GE AMX-Series mobile X-ray?
Short Answer
HIGH FIL LIMIT: High filament-current calibration limit exceeded.
Possible Causes
One or more filament-current calibration parameters exceeded the high limit.
Troubleshooting Steps
Verify filament current, mAs/kVp calibration and tube connections; repeat filament calibration.
