- Output: 220 V, 50/60 Hz
n Power Line Transformer Installation:
Prior to installation, the subsurface needs to be examined according to its material and
for sufficient load bearing capacity. The weight of power line transformer is around 55
kg.
Perform a check to determine whether the shipped fixtures are appropriate for the exist‐
ing subsurface.
Depending on the kind of subsurface, it might be necessary to use other fixtures than
those in the shipment, e.g. screw anchors for drywalls.
- Make sure the holes on the cabinet are aligned to the drill
holes( Fig. 20 Page 23).
Fig. 20:
- Tap the expansion screws into the drilled holes to a depth of 56 mm, make sure
to not release the nuts and shims during installation.
- Tighten the screws to a torque of 15 Nm ( Fig. 21 Page 24).
Fig. 21:
- Tap the expansion screws into the drilled holes to a depth of 56 mm, make sure
to not release the nuts and shims during installation( Fig. 24 Page 25).
Fig. 24:
If the power line transformer is not selected, use a multimeter to directly check the
voltage and frequency of the net power supply for a range of 198~242 V and 49~51
Hz or 59~61 Hz.
Then finally connect power cable (shipped with system) to the net power supply.
n Insert two radiation shield plates into the shield holder and tighten the side screws.
If the console holder is configured, first install the console holder on the radiation
shield plate.
Fig. 27:
Fig. 28:
Risk of tip-over
The radiation shield must be fastened to the floor!
Anchors or screws are not supplied with the system; since their selection depends on the
floor materials; please obtain them locally. We recommend that you use Liebig M6
S10/35 anchors.
The specifications and instructions of the manufacturer must be observed for expansion
bolts.
Cut out an opening in the floor covering when installing the device on a solid concrete
floor. Concrete quality for solid floors, min. C20/25.
Installation materials must be obtained on site.
- Secure the holder in place with the four M4 screws with two washers (M4 and M6
washer). (The screw and washer are shipped with the console holder.)
- Install the radiation shield holder with console holder on the radiation shield.
- Install the console on the console holder, the cable connected to the console holder
can be routed through the hole in the radiation shield.
Prior to installation, the subsurface needs to be examined to ensure that its material is
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.

Enter the kV, place the phantom (thickness is according to the table) on the object ta‐
ble.
Perform exposure, develop the film and measure the OD (optical density).
kV 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35
Thickness 20 20 30 30 40 50 50 50 50 60 60 60 60
OD3
9. Enter the OD3 value in the table by pressing the corresponding region.
After entering all 13 values, press the OD3 Calculation button.
The dose value will be adjusted automatically by system.
10. Record the final dose value and Ds value and press the Send Dose Value button.
The above procedure is for large focus (18x24 table or 24x30 table).
If the mag table is configured, first perform dose calibration for large focus according to
the above procedure.
Then follow the instructions below.
kV 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35
Thickness 20 20 30 30 40 50 50 50 50 60 60 60 60
OD3
4. Enter the OD3 value in the table by pressing the corresponding region.
After entering all 13 values, press the OD3 Calculation button.
The dose value will be adjusted automatically by system.
5. Record the final dose value and press the Send Dose Value button.
The above procedures are only for one filter; for another filter, switch the filter type in
the Exam window and perform dose calibration. The Ds value is same for both filters and
focuses. Change the Ds to the same value, OD1 and OD2 can be skipped.
1. Place the 20 mm PMMA on the object table, insert a cassette with film, perform expo‐
sure with the Opdose mode, middle AEC sensor.
2. Place the 40 mm PMMA on the object table, insert a cassette with new film, perform
exposure with the Opdose mode, middle AEC sensor.
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.
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.
2. Log into the service software, select object table (18x24 table, 24x30 table or Mag ta‐
ble), and then select Dose Offset.

(6) Copying the dose offset value to another kV
3. Insert a film into the sensitometer in the dark room, expose the film. Process the film
and measure the optical density of the 12th test wedge as Density Ref, enter this into
the blank “Density Ref”.
4. Place the 20 mm PMMA on the table, insert the cassette with film, enter 27 kV, per‐
form exposure.
5. Place the 50 mm PMMA on the table, insert the cassette with new film, perform expo‐
sure.
6. Develop the film, enter the OD into the table, the system will calculate the dose off‐
set. Press Copy to Other kV. Press Send Parameter.
If the 18x24 or 24x30 object table is configured, select it in the AEC menu to perform cali‐
bration with the large focus. The 24x30 and 18x24 tables share the same AEC data.
Information Record
Which AEC table is selected during calibra‐
tion (Film 1, Film 2 or CR).
If CR is used, record the brand and type of
CR cassette (e.g., AGFA CR MM3.0).
If film is used, record the film brand and
type.
If film is used, record the screen brand and
type.
If film is used, record the cassette brand and
type.
3. Copy the txt file from USB stick, send it with the above table to the e-mail address.
4.1 Labeling
There is a plastic bag that contains labels which need to be pasted on the system. Labels
can be found in option parts wooden carton. Language version has been chosen prior to
shipment.
