1.3 Moving the System 1

This section describes the posture for moving the system, the travel modes and how to stop moving.
In order to use safely, move the system with adequate understanding of this section.
1
1.3.1 Posture for Moving the System
1
1
To move the system, firmly grip the grip bar with both hands and then
move the system.
Do NOT operate the grip bar using only one hand, or underhanded.
Doing so can result in not only operation errors and system damage, but may
1
also cause serious accident leading to injury or death.
1
• When driving the system where people are present, near equipment,
or close to a wall, drive slowly to be able to stop immediately and
maintain safety in the surroundings.
1
• Do NOT touch the brake release bar unless intending to move the
system.
Doing so will release the brake, allowing the system to move 1
unexpectedly.
• Immediately charge the battery if the last bar on the battery indicator
goes out. 1
• If the system moves abnormally, immediately stop using the system
and contact your Shimadzu service representative.
• Do NOT move the system on a wet floor. 1

1 Basic Operation
• The operator may experience static electric shock when moving the
system if their body has become statically charged, depending on
conditions such as humidity and type of clothing.
• When the [PAS] or [Acc] value for power-assist settings has been
changed, not only forward but also backward movement will be influenced.
To maintain the same backward movement, adjust the [bAc] value
accordingly.
^ Reference "2.1 User Settings" P.2-2

 Correct Posture for Moving

1.3.2 FPD Storage
Store the FPD properly and lock the FPD before moving the system.
^ Reference "1.8 FPD Storage" P.1-49
1.3.3 Travel Mode and Inch-Mover Buttons
• When moving the system, make sure that there are no obstacles
ahead.
Hitting an IV stand or running over cables from other equipment could be
very dangerous to patients. The obstacle detector may not be able to
detect light weight obstacles in front of it, such as IV stands or cables from
other equipment.
• Do NOT move the system over any steps or bumps greater than 2 cm,
or slopes steeper than 7 degrees. Always stop the system on a level
surface and avoid sloped surfaces.
Failure to do so may cause the system to roll down the slope or tip over.
• Do NOT operate this system outdoors.

This system is designed for indoor use only. Using this system outdoors
may lead to system failure.
The system can be moved using the normal travel mode, low-speed travel mode, or inch-mover
buttons.
By squeezing the brake release bar of the grip bar and pushing on the bar, the system moves in the
direction it is pushed. In addition, the system's power-assist technology allows changing the travel
speed according to how much force is applied.
 Normal Travel Mode

The system is in the normal travel mode when the arm is locked.
^ Reference "1.4.1 Locking and Releasing the Arm" P.1-18
Maximum travel speed is approx. 5 km/h (Maximum instantaneous travel speed: 6 km/h, may vary
depending on condition).
* Travel characteristics can be changed.

See "2.1 User Settings" P.2-2.

 Low-Speed Travel Mode

If the arm is not locked, the system will automatically select the low-speed travel mode.
1
The traveling speed of the system will be limited to about half the normal speed and the degree of
power-assist is limited to about half of its normal level. 1
1
• Do NOT move the system over bumps or other floor-level changes in
low-speed travel mode.
Since the arm is not locked, the arm may move and cause injuries or 1
damage to the system, or cause the system to tip over.
• Do NOT move the system over slopes steeper than 5 degrees.

1
 Inch-Mover Buttons
Holding down the inch-mover buttons with the arm unlocked allows the movement of the system
forward or backward more slowly than in the low-speed travel mode. Maximum movement speed is
approx. 5 cm/s. 1
The inch-mover buttons can be operated continuously for approx. 10 seconds. To continue using the
buttons more than 10 seconds, press them again.
Motor power is lower than in the low-speed travel mode. If the system cannot be moved due to thick-
piled carpet, or other resistance, use the grip bar.
1
The system will not move if both inch-mover buttons are pressed at the same time.
1
Moves forward Moves backward
If the system does not stop due to inch-mover button failure, stop the
system by pressing the emergency stop button on the power supply

If the obstruction detector hits an obstacle, the system will stop and the unit can only be moved
backwards.
* The obstruction detector can be set to emit a sound if activated.

See "2.1 User Settings" P.2-2.
Obstruction Detector
 Obstruction Detector Cancel Function

If the obstruction detector is damaged, the obstruction detection function may remain ON (activated).
In this case, the obstruction detector cancel function can be used to temporarily cancel the
obstruction detector function, allowing the system to be moved.
• The obstruction detector cancel function is only a temporary

measure. If the obstruction detector does not function normally,
contact your Shimadzu service representative.
• While the obstruction detector cancel function is enabled, the

detector will not emit any sound, even if activated. Because there is
no auditory warning, be sure to pay careful attention to the area in
the periphery of the system while moving.
• After moving to a safe location, disable the obstruction detector

cancel function.
1 Turn the key switch to OFF .
2 Turn the key switch ON while pressing the (collimator lamp

button) on the X-ray control panel. Keep pressing the (collimator
lamp button) until the system starts up and emits a sound.

approx. 10 minutes after charging starts because it takes a while for the battery
voltage to stabilize.
• Immediately after charging, the battery indicator may indicate a level that is higher
than the actual battery charge because the battery voltage rises temporarily after
charging.
After the system is used for a short period, the battery display will display the
actual remaining charge.
If charging is interrupted, the battery indicator will initially be lit up completely.
After a short period, the number of lights may decrease suddenly, but this does
not indicate a malfunction.
