4. ADJUSTMENTS
4.1 INTRODUCTION
The radiological system is entirely regulated in the factory: it is therefore only necessary to
install it to be able to use it.
All the information contained in this SECTION 5 and in SECTION 6 should be used when an Extraordinary
Maintenance operation becomes necessary.

ATTENTION – In the case of intervention, it is essential for the adjustment

! operations to be carried out in the sequence indicated.

Table 5.1 indicates the Potentiometers which do not require any further
adjustments since they have already been adjusted and sealed in the factory.
