appropriate and that there is sufficient load bearing capacity.

A check must be performed to determine whether the shipped fixtures are appropriate
 for the existing subsurface. Depending on the kind of subsurface, it may be necessary to
use fixtures other than those in the shipment, e.g. screw anchors for drywalls.

- Drill four holes: two spaced 180 mm and two spaced 364 mm according to the size
of the holder; the depth of the holes should be 100 mm. Clean the holes of drill
dust.

Situation Action Notes


Other type of Film- 1. Select AEC table “Film 2”
Screen-Cassette Com‐
bination 2. Sensor Calibration The calibration is related to filter and focus
type. Additional calibration should be per‐
formed if the Rh filter or Mag table is con‐
figured.
3. Dose Rate Calibration The calibration is related to filter and focus
type. Additional calibration should be per‐
formed if the Rh filter or Mag table is con‐
figured.

If error 0x0C occurred with the Mag table,


decrease the phantom thickness on the ta‐
ble by 10 mm. Do not change the input
value in the software.
4. Dose Calibration (for film) The Ds value is the same for all filter and
focus types. If the Ds value is obtained in
the first filter/focus combination (by per‐
forming the OD1 and OD2 calibration), the
same Ds value can be reused for the re‐
maining filter/focus combinations. OD1
and OD2 can be skipped for the remaining
filters/focuses.
5. AEC Function Test If error 0x0C occurred in the Opdose
mode, increase the kV to continue the
test.
6. Dose Offset Calibration Dose offset calibration shouyld be per‐
(optional) formed when the relative difference of the
OD value is more than 0.15 in the AEC
function test.

The calibration is related to filter and focus


type. Additional calibration should be per‐
formed if the Rh filter or Mag table is con‐
figured.

3. Place the 60 mm PMMA on the object table, insert a cassette with new film, perform
exposure with the Opdose mode, middle AEC sensor.

 If error 0x0C occurred in the Opdose mode, switch to the AEC mode and increase the kV
to continue the test.

4. Develop the film, measure the OD (optical density), use a sensitometer to expose a
film in the dark room, measure the OD of 12th test wedge as OD 12th
Calculate the corrected O.D.: Corrected OD= Measured OD + (1.6 - OD12th)
5. Calculate the average of all corrected OD values from all PMMA thicknesses.
Calculate the relative difference of the corrected OD values from the average.
6. The O.D. value of all PMMA thicknesses should be within 1.4 to 2.0 O.D.
The relative difference of the OD value should be ± 0.15 O.D.
If the relative difference of the OD value is more than ± 0.15, perform Dose Offset
Calibration as described in the section below.

3.20.3.5 Dose Offset Calibration

 Dose Offset Calibration should be performed when the relative difference of the OD val‐
ue in the AEC function test is more than ± 0.15.

4.2 Bolting the Stand


If permanent installation the floor is required due to local regulations (for example in
earthquake areas) or due to the quality of the floor covering, the Mammo unit (stand) can
be secured to the floor; the stand can be secured using heavy-duty expansion bolts. Five
heavy-duty expansion bolts (four bolts for installation, one as a spare) would be shipped
with the system.
Below are the stand bolting procedures:
n Align the four base installation holes and drill four holes with a M12 drill bit to a depth
of more than 94 mm at the two front holes and 84 mm at the two rear holes.
n Blow out the drill dust in the holes, tap the expansion screws into drilled holes with a
M10 washer for each bolt.
n Then insert four expansion bolts to secure the system.
n The bolts are tightened to a torque of 30 Nm( Fig. 90 Page 84)
n Finally cover all holes with the plastic covers.
