Injector Document: 5131 / 03 Perform-X Radiographic System / CTM-200 Ceiling Tube Stand 11 Technical Manual 2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION & TECHNICAL DATA 2.1 Intended Use The Ceiling Suspension Stand is an aerial suspension designed for a radiogenic unit (X-Ray tube and collimator) supporting and moving. This manual describes the ceiling suspension features and gives the necessary instructions for its correct use. The equipment may be supplied with different options in relation to what is depicted here. This can include differences in physical appearance, optional hardware and even operating characteristics. Read further about the functions, components, and other optional devices, that may not be indicated here, in the accompanying OPERATOR MANUAL. 2.2 Equipment Parts The ceiling stand is composed by the following parts: 1) longitudinal rails; 2) transversal bridge; 3) carriage and telescopic stand; 4) horizontal support arm for the radiogenic unit; 5) control board station. On the following pages, schematics of the equipment parts can be found. 2.2.1 Longitudinal Rails The longitudinal rails are made of extruded aluminium section; they are attached to the radiology room ceiling (different mounting solutions are possible). Channels go along all rails’ entire length; they have the following functions: Document: 5131 / 03 12 Perform-X Radiographic System / CTM-200 Ceiling Tube Stand Technical Manual ✓ they guarantee the rails adaptability to different mounting systems (see “Common Fixing Methods”); ✓ they make the rails assembly easier and permit more freedom during the mounting (in option solutions with different length rails are available); ✓ they permit the positioning of one or more alignment position indicators of the radiant beam with one or more receptors which are in the radiological room. The rails are supplied complete with tapered head bolts supplied with holes for the rails fastening. Contact the manufacturer in order to use alternative mounting systems or for different dimensional needs. 2.2.2 Transversal Bridge The transversal bridge slides on the longitudinal rails; it is composed by a couple of rails, of the same kind of the longitudinal ones, connected to each other. The carriage with the telescopic stand moves inside this bridge. 2.2.3 Telescopic Carriage and Stand The telescopic elements of the stand are made of extruded aluminium and are connected to each other through stainless steel ropes which guide their movement in a precise way (synchro ropes). The end of the telescopic stand is hung by a steel drive rope; this winds round a drum which some motor springs are connected to. The springs contrast the weight of the stand and of the radiogenic unit. The main rope is placed side by side to a safety rope which avoids any kind of danger or injury for operators or patients in case of a main cable breakage: a safety device becomes immediately operative--blocking the telescope extension movement. On the carriage, which is made of a rigidly bolted heavy aluminium plate, the motor springs for the units balancing is mounted; it is possible to hold one or more reserve springs as well. Its innovative conception optimizes all available space and permits to hold up to 10 springs (8 std + 2 opt), guaranteeing a maximum balanceable weight of 75 kg. This allows the stand to position the heavy therapy tubes or to mount a horizontal arm of different design. The telescope is made of extruded aluminium; it has a light weight and is not susceptible to corrosion; it guarantees at the same time the required mechanical strength and durability. Moreover, the light weight makes all aerial structures lighter; these are mechanically less stressed and requires limited maintenance. The breaking of the main rope is the consequence of missed periodical checks and maintenance; the telescopic stand, being suspended to the ceiling, requires a very careful maintenance of the suspended parts in order to avoid potential dangers for Document: 5131 / 03 Perform-X Radiographic System / CTM-200 Ceiling Tube Stand 13 Technical Manual the operators and to assure the correct functioning of the equipment itself. DO NOT TRY TO FORCE THE RADIOGENIC TUBE TOWARDS THE BOTTOM WHEN THE MAIN ROPE IS BROKEN. Never use the ceiling stand after the safety device intervention. Immediately contact technical assistance and replace the broken rope. 2.2.4 Radiogenic System Support Arm The horizontal arm, that supports the x-ray system, is fastened to the lower end of the telescope and can rotate around the vertical and the horizontal axis. The rotation movements on both the axis are mechanically evidenced by detents (every 90°, for manual-type units). For the linear movements, electromagnetic brakes are used while, for the rotation movements, brakes at permanent magnet are used. These assure the braking action even in case of sudden lack of current. 2.2.5 Control Board Station This Stand can be customized with several different types of control board stations. The standard control box should contain all the basic controls needed to maneuver the stand around and interface with other devices in the examination room. Refer to the special installation /setup instructions that come the system to know its installation requirements. 2.2.6 Equipment Schematic Index of the Figure 2-1 on the following page. Pos.

All masonry works for the room preparation are at customers or installers expense. ATTENTION!!! The measuring of the ceiling stand support structures is exclusively under the competence of the designer who is responsible of the rooms preparation. Kind and dimension of the I-beams are shown in our drawings just as an indication. ATTENTION!!! The maximum static load upon each screw in the vertical direction is equal to 2000 N, while the stress in the horizontal direction is of about 150 N for each screw. For mounting methods which differ from the suggested ones, or for heavier suspensions, this value could be higher or lower. ATTENTION!!! Take into careful consideration the floor-to-ceiling mounting height of the longitudinal rails system. Verify that the rails height is fixed at the correct distance to work correctly with the other Wallstand receptor, table receptor or other devices in the examination room. The supporting surfaces of the longitudinal rails props must be parallel and carefully leveled (± 2 mm on the length). Possible minimum differences can be corrected during the mounting phase, putting the suitable thickness between the rails and the supporting surfaces. The spacing among the longitudinal rails fixing points can be set between 700 and 1050 mm; in any case, 5 fixing points for each rail must be foreseen at least. Document: 5131 / 03 40 Perform-X Radiographic System / CTM-200 Ceiling Tube Stand Technical Manual The distance spanning between the longitudinal rails is standardly set to 1650 mm; in certain cases, this span can be adjusted to adapt to pre-existing I-beam fixtures. 4.2.1 Common Fixing Methods The more common fixing methods of the rails to the ceiling are listed on the following pages.

Refer to the drawings and to the technical features, written in this manual, to be aware of the performances and the maximum loads that can be supported. 5.1.1 Longitudinal Rails Mounting The equipment mounting begins by fixing the longitudinal rails to the I-beams or support elements, which are arranged in accordance to the given documentation and specified instructions (mounting systems and equipment plan view). The documentation explained in the previous chapter is given to the room preparer for assistance with the rails installation. In the CASE NUMBER 1, there are the longitudinal rails and the transversal bridge with fixing screws and nuts. Open the case (removing only the cover 01/4-1), take out the transversal bridge (08/4-1) and the longitudinal rails (10/4-1). The rails are to be fixed to the I-beams through a set of screws and washers and the special square nuts, which are already located in the rails channels. It is important to check that the longitudinal rails are parallel and horizontal to each other; if needed, shim where necessary. Moreover, check, by using a meter, that the rails are parallel because an incorrect mounting could compromise the correct sliding of the transversal bridge within the longitudinal rails. 5.1.2 The Transversal Bridge Mounting View the Figure on the following page for the inserting method of the transversal frame inside of the longitudinal rails. The transversal frame can be inserted into one of the longitudinal rails ends. If the fixing points and the parallelism are the projected ones, this operation can be easily done. Document: 5131 / 03 48 Perform-X Radiographic System / CTM-200 Ceiling Tube Stand Technical Manual ✓ Disassemble the longitudinal rails heads (07/5-1) and the end of travel bumpers (06/5-1); ✓ Lift the bridge (02/5-1) (manually or using some ropes) and guide it in the longitudinal rails (01/5-1); ✓ Once the insertion is finished, mount the end of travel bumpers of the transversal bridge translation movement (06/5-1) in the suitable longitudinal rails channels, and fix them in the desired position to have the required travel; ✓ At last mount the closing crossbar on one of the longitudinal rails heads (07/5-1). To reduce the exercise backlash of the stand, it is advised to mount the bridge so that its guide bearing (i.e. the ones with vertical axis) will be where the stand telescope will be mounted. If the distance between the longitudinal rails heads and the room walls does not permit the above mentioned operation, the bridge must be inserted between the longitudinal rails, reducing the distance between the two crossbars. Do as follows: ✓ loosen the screws which lock one of the transversal bridge crossbars (04/5-1); ✓ bring the loosened crossbar near the other, so that it is possible the inserting on the longitudinal rails (01/5-1); ✓ lift the bridge (02/5-1) at the longitudinal rails height (01/5-1); ✓ restore the original distance between the transversal bridge crossbars (04/5-1), in order to permit the supporting bearings to enter perfectly the longitudinal rails sliding channel (the correct position is marked on the bridge during the mounting phase in the factory). ✓ Check distances and alignment of the transversal bridge in respect to the longitudinal rails, before locking the loosened crossbar. ATTENTION!!! To make the bridge insertion easier remove the guide bearings (03/5-1 and 05/5-1) from the bridge crossbars (04/5-1). When this operation is finished, it is possible to put the bearing brackets back into their working position. ATTENTION!!! Check that the support and sliding plastic wheel bearings (05/5-2) are correctly inserted into the rails before removing the lifting device. This check is very important in order to avoid dangers to the safety of the patient and technical staff that may result from it.

Check that the contrast bearings are not closed against the profile and that the bridge slides along the rails correctly and freely from frictions. In the contrary, correct the bearings adjustment (06/5-2). To make the transversal bridge regulations, after the bridge installation, or as needed, it is necessary to remove the covers of the two bridge cross bars (11/5-2). To regulate the contrasting roller bearings: Document: 5131 / 03 Perform-X Radiographic System / CTM-200 Ceiling Tube Stand 51 Technical Manual ✓ Loosen the contrast bearing by using an Allen wrench and act only on its set screw (the one placed under the rail) in order to allow the movement of the eccentric bolt on to which the bearings are mounted (06/5-2); ✓ Regulate the distance of the brakes by acting on the eccentric bolts (06/5-2) and leaving a distance of 0,8 – 1 mm between the brake and the rail; ✓ Assure that the bearing is locked into place by the set screw. For Stands with electronic position sensors, it is vitally important that the bearing adjustments are correctly made to assure proper functioning of the electronic sensors. The bridge brakes are regulated at the factory. In case corrections are required: ✓ Act on SCREW TSCE M4x12 (01/5-2) and SCREW TE M4x45 (03/5-2); o Increase the air gap by loosening the SCREW TE M4x45 (03/5-2) and then tighten the SCREW TSCE M4x12 (01/5-2); o Reduce the air gap by loosening the SCREW TSCE M4x12 (01/5-2) and then tighten the SCREW TE M4x45 (03/5-2); ✓ When the operation is over, mount again the covers of the bridge cross bars (11/5-2).

Their position can be adjusted later and modified in any moment (also when mounting is completed) thanks to the possibility to slide the centering cams along the whole length of the longitudinal rails and the bridge rails. The function of the two centering cams (supplied with the standard supply) is to identify a specific work position (for example, for the alignment with a table or with a wall bucky) or to define a parking position (for example if, in the same room, a remote controlled equipment must work, in the case of which it is proper to supply the equipment also with the cams and the safety micro-switches (see previous chapter 2 regarding technical features and system options). If it is necessary to mount one or more safety microswitch sensors and the respective action cams, contact the manufacturer to receive the specific instructions and the availability of the different microswitch kits. ✓ Proceed with mounting the ON BRIDGE HOSE SUPPORT (10/4-2) by fastening it to the bridge upper part (as shown in Figure 2-1). The square nuts already inserted inside the rails of the bridge, allow to mount the support in any position and on the right or left side according to the needs. ✓ Connect then the cable to the brakes of the bridge to the terminal board that is in the upper part of the support (10/4-2) together with the connecting cable of the longitudinal brakes (17/4-2) contained in the box. The connecting cable must enter into the hole located in the hose support, then go through the piece of diameter 600 mm corrugated tube that takes up to the carriage and then being connected to the control electronic board. The cables connecting operations should be postponed when the mounting is over and following carefully what written on the electrical schematics standardly supplied and contained in the Technical Electrical Manual. ✓ Then mount the guide for the cables sliding (B/5.3) to the extern of one of the longitudinal rails placing it (using the rail lateral groove) toward right or left so to address the cables Document: 5131 / 03 54 Perform-X Radiographic System / CTM-200 Ceiling Tube Stand Technical Manual toward the generator. This guide can be placed on the front or rear rail (always externally to the rails) according to the installation needs. ✓ Then insert, inside the cables rail, the 3 sliding hose support (02/5.3), after removing the safety screw at the ends of the cables guide (08/5.3).

Document: 5131 / 03 56 Perform-X Radiographic System / CTM-200 Ceiling Tube Stand Technical Manual At the last, use the supplied colored bands contained in the accessories box (see Figure 4-2) to spot the directions of the equipment movements (on this subject, see the control push buttons color that are on the control board). Specifically, the green band (18/4-2) spots the longitudinal direction and must be applied under the front rail (in a position that the operator can clearly see) inside the present lowering. The blue band (19/4-2) spots the lateral direction and must be applied under one of the rails of the bridge (in a position that the operator can clearly see) inside the lowering. The yellow band spots the vertical direction and it is already applied on the main element of the telescopic stand. 5.1.5 Mounting of the Telescopic Stand Any kind of damage must be immediately communicated to the forwarder and the manufacturer. When the stand is on the metal structure, it can be easily moved through a lifting truck and lifted manually (weight 130 kg) or through an optional lifting device which is supplied on request. ATTENTION!!! Before removing the lifting device, verify that the supporting and sliding bearings are correctly inserted into the guides, which are fixed to the rails. This control is very important in order to avoid injuries to patients or technical personnel. ✓ Remove the cover and one of the short sides of case number 2 (12/4-2 and 19/4-2). Take out from the case the telescopic stand which is vertically mounted (effective working position) on a disposable metal structure (16/4-2). Before lift the stand on the rails, do as follows (see Figure 5-6): ✓ Remove the wrapping paper and control carefully that all parts were not damaged during the transport; ✓ Mount the cable support assemblies (06/5-6) and (10/5-6) on the rear side of the carriage on the internal part of the bearing support using the bolt TBCE M6x16 already inserted in the required position (see Figure 5-6); Document: 5131 / 03 Perform-X Radiographic System / CTM-200 Ceiling Tube Stand 57 Technical Manual ✓ Wait to make the position detent mounting (01/5-6). Carry out this operation only after the stand has inserting into the rails. In this way, its accidental damaging is avoided; ✓ Before the lifting, take out the transversal bridge rails head (04/5-4) and the bridge bumpers (03/5-4); ✓ Raise the telescopic stand up to the transversal bridge rails (02/5-4) and insert the stand carriage (05/5-4) into the transversal bridge rails; ✓ Once this operation is finished, mount again the bumpers (03/5-4) and then close the rails head (04/5-4). It is possible to immediately regulate the wheel bearings backlash or postpone this operation to when the mounting is over. Figure 5-4 - Telescopic Stand Mounting (file ME230005-A) Pos.

ATTENTION!!! Check that the bearings are not tightened against the guides and that the carriage sliding on the bridge happens correctly and free of frictions. In contrary case correct the bearings regulation. 5.1.6 Use of the Lifting Device for the Stand Mounting On request, it is possible to have a mechanical device for the stand lifting. For its use refer to instructions which are issued with it (see Appendix section for supported options). 5.2 Ceiling Stand Mechanical Preparation Once the Ceiling Stand has been mounted to the transversal frame: ✓ Free the stand from the metal support structure and packing materials; ✓ Complete the primary carriage assembly by mounting the mechanical position detent lever (01/5-6). ✓ Lower the telescope in order to mount the radiogenic unit. It is necessary to lower the telescope and horizontal arm to about 1.5 meters of the floor in order to mount the radiogenic assembly. The balancing springs action keeps the telescope completely closed; for this reason, in order to bring the arm at the desired working height, it is necessary to extend by strength the telescope down and keep it locked into position through the safety locking device which has been designed for this purpose (see Figure 5-5). This process requires the assistance of at least two persons. Follow these directions in order to lower the telescope: Document: 5131 / 03 Perform-X Radiographic System / CTM-200 Ceiling Tube Stand 59 Technical Manual ✓ Locate the M12 screw (3/5-5) placed inside the carriage on the left-side (2/5-5); ✓ with help from one or more persons, pull the telescope downwards to the desired working position; ✓ turn the M12 screw (3/5-5) so that it enters into one of the holes of the balancing springs winding drum (1/5-5) in order to lock its rotation and prevent the movement of the telescope. Only at this point is it possible to start the radiogenic unit mounting. WARNING!!! Follow the above described instructions to lock the rotation of the springs winding drum when it is needed to lock the telescope movement and whenever working inside of the carriage. Do not use foreign matters or other systems which could be dangerous for the assembler’s safety. Take precautions when working inside of the carriage by using gloves or other protective clothing. There are sharp edges that could cause serious personal injury.

From the electric point of view the equipment is composed of the following elements: ✓ ceiling suspension; ✓ control board; ✓ X-Ray tube; ✓ collimator. 5.3.1 The Control Board Mounting The mounting of the stand interconnection and working cables starts from the control board. Fix the control board (07/4-2) to the support bracket (04/4-2), using the two screws M10 (06/4-2) standardly supplied. Wait to make control board electrical connections until the final installation phase. 5.3.2 The H.T. Cables Mounting Before starting to mount the cables it is advised to choose the proper work positions to use. In the following drawings, it is illustrated the exiting of the cables to the LEFT SIDE of the room. This configuration is best when the Wallbucky stand is located on the RIGHT SIDE of the room which increases the available working zone around the Wallbucky stand. In contrast, if the Wallbucky stand is located on the LEFT SIDE of the room, it is recommended to route the cables towards the RIGHT side of the room. It’s also important to make sure in advance that the cable lengths are enough to cover the required distance. The suggested arrangement of the cables is shown in the following drawings. Possible other solutions can be studied and chosen together with the installer and / or manufacturer. The 60 mm diameter plastic corrugated tubes (03/4-1) together with the cable supports and the support brackets (09, 11, 12 and 13 of Figure 4-2) are supplied with the equipment. The hoses are cut in two pieces: Document: 5131 / 03 Perform-X Radiographic System / CTM-200 Ceiling Tube Stand 81 Technical Manual ✓ Hose D60 L3100 (or L3500 for the version with vertical travel of 180 cm) ✓ Hose D60 L6900 The first piece (L=3100 or L=3500 for the version with travel of 180 cm) covers the section from the X-Ray tube support to the stand carriage. The second piece (L=6900) covers the section that goes from the carriage to the generator (or to the wall hose support). Besides the standard hose supports supplied for the cables, it is possible to request from the manufacturer the optional kit to fasten the hose to the wall (see Figure 5-26). The interconnection cables and options to be used should be planned out ahead of time. It is the duty of the clients project manager to assure that all the necessary cables and devices are present for the assembly as well as the specific electrical diagrams for their connections. ✓ Assemble all the necessary function cables that serve the X-ray tube and accessories (H.T., rotating anode starter, collimator powering, etc.). This is to include the powering and grounding cables for the Ceilstand itself as well as any interconnection cables to external devices/equipment. ✓ Take the longer piece of corrugated tubing, of D60 mm, and pass all of the assembled function cables into this section of tubing. This serves the points “D” to “H” (see Figure 5-25). Consider that some cables stop after the point “D” (carriage zone) and some cables continue to point “A” (X-ray tube and control board station). Adjust the cable lengths as necessary in accordance to their connection points. The cables that terminate in the carraiage (point “D”) should terminate about 160 cm from the point “D”. The cables that continue to point “A” will be about 500 cm longer. ✓ Take the short piece of corrugated tubing, of D60 mm, and pass the function cables that go to the X-ray tube, collimator and control board station. This serves the points “C” to “A” illustrated in the Figure 5-25. Adjust the cable lengths as necessary in accordance to their connection points. On average, the cables that connect the X-ray tube can be about 75 cm from the point “A”. The cables that run towards point “C” and terminate there can vary in length depending on the length of the corrugated tube. ✓ At the junctions of point “C” (the short piece of tube) and point “D” (the long piece of tube), adjust the corrugated tubing in order to leave about 35 cm between these two points. (Take note that some cables terminate at this point and some continue through to the end of the long piece of corrugated tubing.) Document: 5131 / 03 82 Perform-X Radiographic System / CTM-200 Ceiling Tube Stand Technical Manual ✓ Gather the supplied cables that must be connected from the point “D” to point “E” that serve the carriage to bridge connections (Figure 5-25). Measure 170 cm from the point “D” to find the point “E”. Cut a hole at this point into the corrugated tube, of D60 mm, and pass these cables through it. As previously made, the cables that terminate at point “D” should terminate about 160 cm from the point “D”. (Note that the types and lengths of these cables can vary on the type of options that the Stand is equipped with. See the supplied electrical technical instructions for this information.); Determine the length of the corrugated tubing between point “D” and “E”. Take into consideration the recommended placement of bridge cable support and other optionally connected devices located on the bridge. The recommended length can be even longer for some applications which have extra-long bridge rails. At this point, it is possible to mount the assembled corrugated tube onto the Stand. ✓ First, mount the short piece of assembled corrugated tube (with cables) on the support arm at the TUBE SIDE HOSE SUPPORT (point “A” of Figure 5-22). Make adjustments to the cable lengths in order to eliminate excess cables around the tube housing and control board station by pulling the excess cable lengths towards the other side of the corrugated tubing (pull towards point “C”); The hose support placed at the back of the radiogen system, must be positioned as shown in Figure 5-8 & 5-9. ✓ Second, again at the junctions of point “C” and point “D”, adjust the cables in order to leave about 35 cm between these two points. (Take note that some cables terminate at this point and connect inside of the carriage of the Stand and that some cables continue through to the end of the long piece of corrugated tubing.); ✓ Prepare the carriage by mounting the cable hose supports, if not already mounted (06/5-6 & 10/5-6); ✓ Take note of where the path of the cables must go. Mount the corrugated tubing to the points “C” and “D” at the carriage (5-25) of the Stand – in a way that it will allow the cables to exit to the desired side of the room (either to the LEFT or RIGHT side of the room). ✓ Mount the ON TELESCOPE HOSE SUPPORT (13/4-2 & 12/4-2) onto the telescope at the recommended distance (5-25); It is recommended to not permamently fix the cable assembly to the telescope until the unit is powered on. In this way, it will be possible to make some minor Document: 5131 / 03 Perform-X Radiographic System / CTM-200 Ceiling Tube Stand 83 Technical Manual adjustments to the assembled cable. ✓ If there is excess cable lengths between the points of “C” and “D”, then pull the interconnection cables outwards towards the point “H” to eliminate or reduce the excess cabling inside of the carriage (pulling towards the generator and external devices); ✓ Fix the cable hose support (10/4-2) to the bridge at the defined place (see room drawings for suggested placement of the support); ✓ Prepare to lock the corrugated tube (cable assembly) into the ON BRIDGE HOSE SUPPORT (10/4-2) by passing the electrical cables through the hole located in the cable hose support before closing the cable clamp; It is best to wait to make the electrical connections at the carriage and bridge until the whole cable assembly has been mounted in case it is needed to adjust the cable lengths. ✓ Prepare the ON RAILS HOSE SUPPORTS (08/4-2) and insert them in the cables rail applied to the longitudinal rail (02/5-3); ✓ Mount the assembled corrugated tubing to the sliding hose supports, leaving about 1,5 - 2 meters distance between a clamp and another; ✓ Cut the hose at the required length and continue to connect all the interconnection cables. Before proceeding to the cable connections, check that the previously mounted hose does not limit in any way the radiogenic unit mobility by bringing it towards the extreme positions of its vertical and rotation travels. Following the suggested instructions, there should be no problem of hose interference with the stands foreseen movements.

To mount the tube cover do as follow: ✓ Remove the CONTROL BOX (07/5-8) from the X-RAY TUBE BRACKET (04/5-8) by removing the 2 SCREW TCCE 10x20 (06/5-8); ✓ Position the X-RAY TUBE COVER (11/5-8), above the x-ray tube without fastening anything; ✓ Re-mount the CONTROL BOX to the X-RAY TUBE BRACKET by using the supplied screws previously removed; ✓ Fasten the tube X-RAY TUBE COVER to the CONTROL BOX by using the supplied screws (SCREW TBOCE 4x12). The closing of the equipment plastic covers must be performed when the assembling is over, after balancing and connecting all what is necessary, and only after the equipment testing and verification. To mount the carriage cover, do as follow: ✓ Mount the large CARRIAGE COVER (main part) (03/5-6) fastening it by the supplied screwdown KNOBS (04/5-6); ✓ Mount the CARRIAGE COVER FIXING PLATE (11/5-6) to the telescope on the top of it, by using the stop dowel and the nut already inserted in position (this step is for manual version only); ✓ Mount the CARRIAGE COVER (small part) (05/5-6 or 09/5-6) fastening it by the supplied KNOBS (04/5-6). 5.5 Stand Balancing Document: 5131 / 03 92 Perform-X Radiographic System / CTM-200 Ceiling Tube Stand Technical Manual Only after the mechanical and electrical preparation it is possible to remove the safety screw that avoids the rotation of the drum for the springs winding. Reference the Figure 5-5. 5.5.1 Balancing of the Radiogenic Unit on the Horizontal Axis The balancing of the X-ray tube housing and collimator must be done at the end of the equpment mounting, when it is possible to unlock the permanent electromagnetic brakes of the rotating movement on the horizontal axis. It is important that all cables of the equipment are correctly positioned as well. ✓ Unlock the inclination brake and rotate the radiogenic group from the left to right side to verify it is balanced; the movements should allow the operator to turn the group easily; ✓ If the balancing is not correct, find the barycentre by moving the tube housing and collimator up or down on the X-RAY TUBE BRACKET (07/5-14) by utilizing the numerous holes located on the tube bracket. 5.5.2 Vertical Movement Balancing In mounting of the control board and of the electrical cables, nearly the whole final weight rests on the stand. At this time, the vertical movement can be approximately balanced (this must be perfected in final phases of assembly). The balancing device uses, as active elements, some motor springs and, as passive elements, some metal counterweight plates (09/5-14 & 11/5-14 or 09/5-14 & 11/5-14) that which must be fixed on the proper spaces of the horizontal support arm that holds the radiogenic unit (08/5-14). To allow a correct closing of the cover of the horizontal arm (22.3) mount (from each side of the horizontal arm (08/5-14) a maximum of 3 large counterweight plates (02.3) and 2 narrow counterweight plates (01.3). Use only the nuts M6 foreseen to block the counterweight plates. In the stand standard configuration, to contrast the telescope and x-ray system weight are used 7 springs (usually the weight is about 35/38 kg). The eighth spring, which is not normally used, is available for heavier radiogenic units. Document: 5131 / 03 Perform-X Radiographic System / CTM-200 Ceiling Tube Stand 93 Technical Manual Generally, a good balancing is obtained through seven springs and some counterweight plates which are placed on the horizontal support arm. Act on the number of springs and counterweight plates to reach the best balancing. 5.6 Installation and Replacement of the Balancing Springs If the stand balancing is not sufficient, following the instructions written in the previous paragraph, it is necessary to also use the eighth balancing spring (usually not necessary) standardly supplied. ATTENTION!!! Handle the springs with care because they have cutting edges. It is advisable to protect the hands with work gloves before making these interventions. The ceiling suspensions, starting from the SN 1464-40 are configured with a device of quick attach/remove of the balancing springs (see Figure 5-27). This solution allows to quickly connect or disconnect the balancing springs also in un easy conditions for the technicians that make the operation (low ceilings, little working space, etc). Only one self-locking nut M4 is mounted inside the wheel for the winding springs, for safety reasons. To connect or disconnect the springs, do as follow: Shut off the electrical power supply from the equipment and ask the non-authorized people to move away from the working area during this process. 1 Remove the CARRIAGE COVER 2 Bring the telescope upward until it hits the end of travel stops (minimum extension); 3 Screw the safety screw (03/5-5) until avoiding the rotation of the springs winding wheel (01/5-501/5-5); 4 Handle the springs with care and unwind the metallic spring from the drum (04/5-32), paying attention not to deform the spring; 5 Insert the teeth that are on the hook (11/5-32) in the respective holes that are on the springs winding wheel.

TELESCOPE CHECKS INTERVAL Condition of the steel ropes 12 months Condition of the ropes winding drums 12 months Condition of the ropes and pulleys 12 months Efficiency of the main rope safety device 12 months Condition of the balancing springs 12 months PARTS TO REPLACE INTERVAL Steel ropes 5 years This control must be done along all the length of the ropes, verifying that there are no signs of deflection or strand breakage. Moreover, verify that the ropes roll up correctly around the pulleys and their wear condition. It is also important to check the condition of the stainless-steel safety rope and of the intervention device efficiency. This is composed by a Teflon roller, which is mounted on a compensator kept through a spring. It is possible to ask for the replacement parts or updates from the constructor that remains at the disposition for any interventions of maintenance, assistance or extraordinary renovation of the equipment as well. ATTENTION! Do not use the unit if damage is found at one or both of the two wire ropes or they show tell-tale signs of breakage or are used up. Contact technical support for replacement of the broken wire ropes. The breaking of the main rope is the consequence of missed periodical checks and maintenance; the telescopic stand, being suspended to the ceiling, requires very careful maintenance of the suspended parts in order to avoid potential dangers for the operators and to assure the correct functioning of the equipment itself. Document: 5131 / 03 112 Perform-X Radiographic System / CTM-200 Ceiling Tube Stand Technical Manual ATTENTION! DO NOT TRY TO FORCE THE RADIOGENIC TUBE TOWARDS THE BOTTOM WHEN THE MAIN ROPE IS BROKEN! Never use the ceiling stand after the safety device intervention. Immediately contact technical assistance and replace the broken rope. If any malfunctions are found during the check ,it is necessary to immediately replace both the ropes and check that also the pulleys and the winding lead nut do not show damages or tear and wear signs. In contrary case, it will be necessary to replace them too. The wire ropes must be replaced at the intervals prescribed and as indicated on the equipment labels. The technical personnel that carries out the controls must always fill out the appropriate spaces on the labels by registering the date of its execution and by signing their name on it. If it becomes necessary to contact the manufacturer for technical problems or the equipment maintenance, take note, in advance, of the units serial number and revisions in order to quicken and focus the technical support intervention. This information can be easily obtained from the identification label, which is placed on the equipment. Document: 5131 / 03 Perform-X Radiographic System / CTM-200 Ceiling Tube Stand 113 Technical Manual 8.4.3 Balancing Springs Controls Control visually the wear condition of the stands balancing springs. If one of them shows wear signs or signs of failure, it is necessary to replace it. Drawing near the duration limits of the balancing springs of the telescope vertical movement, on their edges and surfaces the metal fatigue signs can be seen. A spring breakage provokes a deficit of several kilograms of force in the telescope balancing system; the ceiling stand use can go on only after replacement of the broken spring. The braking system is able to contrast an unbalancing of about 15 kg. This allows keeping the extension movement of the telescope stationary even in the case of a balancing spring breakage. However—it is essential to immediately contact technical assistance and stop the use of the equipment until the system has been restored to its normal and optimal working conditions. This is to avoid damage to the unit and to avoid exposure of patients and users to needless risks. The mounted springs are guaranteed for a minimum life. If one of them gets to this limit, it is strongly recommended to replace the complete set of springs because it is possible that the others are near the end of their working life also and possible failure. Contact the manufacturer to receive the special instructions about the springs replacement procedures and spare parts replacement. In order to help the technician in the replacement interval arrangement, on each spring spool a label with the installation week and year is placed. This label must be changed when the old spring is replaced. Check, several times, carefully and all along the telescope travel that: ✓ springs wind regularly around their winding wheels; ✓ the springs tension is uniform and the telescope movements are free; ✓ the balancing system correctly works. Document: 5131 / 03 114 Perform-X Radiographic System / CTM-200 Ceiling Tube Stand Technical Manual 8.5 Cleaning and Disinfection The equipment does not require particular cleaning operations. However, it is recommended that during the operations to give proper attention to avoid damaging it. ✓ The mains power must be disconnected before proceeding with the cleaning operations. The water in quantities should not be used, to avoid dangerous infiltrations and undesirable phenomena of corrosion of the metal parts. ✓ Even products used to clean and disinfect the skin can create an explosion risk. ✓ For disinfection, use commercial products whose effects are tested. Do not use disinfectants gaseous formaldehyde and aerosol products that could generate dangerous and damaging infiltration into the equipment. ✓ More information and directions are available in manuals and instructions for disinfection and protection against explosions. 8.5.1 Cleaning ✓ Clean the equipment with a damp cloth or a cotton swab. Use a non-abrasive cleaning material. To moisten, use water or lukewarm water with a diluted solution of liquid detergent of the common household type. ✓ Do not use abrasive cleaners or organic solvents or cleaning agents containing solvents (eg. alcohol, ether, etc.). Do not use hydrogen peroxide which enhances the corrosion of metals. ✓ Do not use spray liquids! Agents for cleaning fluids must not enter under any circumstances within the enclosures! It is recommended to use a damp cloth, preferably hot, taking care to dry very thoroughly treated surfaces. 8.5.2 Disinfecting For surface disinfection, it is recommended to use aqueous solutions commercially available for the disinfection of surfaces based on aldehyde or amphoteric surfactants (eg, Tego 103, Korsolin). Disinfectant substitutes based on phenolic and chlorine-containing compounds are partially aggressive and therefore normally to be avoided. The same limitations apply to agents which have an alcohol content when they are applied in undiluted form (eg for the disinfection of hands). Strictly prohibited are spray disinfectants, because the spray could penetrate inside the device. As a result, the safety of the appliance can no longer be guaranteed (damage to electronic components, formation of flammable mixtures of air and solvent vapors).

Lifting Device (optional) B.1 Safety Measures for Installation Before proceeding with the maintenance operations, it is recommended to read attentively the section in this manual relating to safety, use and servicing of the equipment. ATTENTION!!! The installation of hanging units or parts can be very dangerous; only the necessary personnel for the installation must be in the room during this operation. All other people must be sent out. B.2 Installation To use the lifting device, place the metal pallet that the telescope is mounted to under the bridge, then continue with the following procedures: ✓ Remove the carriage rear ball bearing supports (G31CSC3 – 3.29); ✓ Remove the front ball bearing supports from the carriage, right (G31CSC1 - 2.29) and left (G31CSC2 – 1.29); ✓ Place the lifting bar under the bridge and fasten it by the two screws that are part of the supply (TCCE M8x12 – 7.28) to the proper holes made in the carriage shoulders; Document: 5131 / 03 118 Perform-X Radiographic System / CTM-200 Ceiling Tube Stand Technical Manual ✓ Remove the closure head of the bridge 4.29); ✓ Insert in the bridge rails the carriage supports previously disassembled, paying attention to the right insertion direction; ✓ Insert the two threaded tie rods (9.28) in the bridge rails and lock them in position by the nuts and the screws that are part of the supply (1.28 – 2.28 – 3.28 – 4.28 – 5.28); ✓ Insert the other end of the tie rods (9.28) inside the proper holes that are on the lifting bar device (12.28); ✓ Using the two knobs (that are to be screwed from the bottom on the threaded tie rods – 14.28), lift the carriage up to the bridge height by alternatively acting on the two knobs; ✓ Once the right point is reached, fasten the carriage ball bearing supports to the carriage again and then proceed with completion of the system installation. ATTENTION!!! Before removing the lifting device, check that the support bearings are correctly inserted, in the guides fastened to the rails, and that they are properly fastened to the carriage. This safety check is very important to avoid potential risks to patients and technical staff that may result from carriage support failure. Index of the picture 1, on the following page. Pos.
