Hi Tony,
Rubbish!. Not that they've been banned, but that
they give out
significant amounts of X-rays.
Well, both the college and factory I've worked at over the last three years
had received communications from Health and Safety to the effect that these
terminals should not be used. That's why I said "banned" rather than
banned,
IYSWIM?
I would love to know what measurements were actually
made, and under
what conditions....
Me too, I never saw the original "memo". All I was told was that the terminals
were being taken out of service and broken up - they wouldn't let me rescue
them either. :-(
Annoying as I've always wanted a 60.
Well, check the final anode voltage (with an EHT
meter). Check the beam
current (if you can). And only then start worrying.
I don't have an EHT probe for either my meter or 'scope, perhaps it's time I
got one....
TTFN - Pete.
