1.1 Notes

1.1.1 Safety Information

 WARNING
Improperly established protective ground conductor connections during installation,
maintenance, or service.
Personal injury due to electric shock.
 Protective ground conductor tests shall be performed in accordance with the in‐
structions in the technical documentation prior to initially switching on the device/
system, as well as after finishing all types of service / installation activities and prior
to handing over the system to the customer.
hm_serv_ProtectiveEarthMeasurement

 CAUTION
Suspending, or motorized system parts (e.g. table or C-arm) start moving unintention‐
ally when accessing eletromechanical parts, e.g. while replacing drives or brakes.
Risk: Personal injury
 Press the service or emergency stop switch, and secure suspending parts (e.g. ta‐
ble or C-arm) before starting critical service activity.
hm_serv_UnintentMovePart

 WARNING
Misdiagnosis and incorrect treatment because of incorrect results from the quantifica‐
tion software.
This can lead to death or serious bodily injury!
 Perform the geometry adjustment carefully.
hm_serv_GeometryAdjust

 WARNING
Room size is incorrectly configured.
Injury to personnel or damage to the system possible.
 Following installation and following service work, check the collision zones.
