Official wording

Reason: If the coolant level in the cooling circuit drops below a certain level, this may result in a situation in which the X-ray tube is no longer sufficiently cooled and the system will display the message "TUBE HOT, have a break". Several minutes later the system will block X-ray to prevent further damage and display the message "NO XRAY: TUBE TOO HOT".
