All interlock systems, except the emergency power OFF system, must be terminated at the CITB.
The emergency power OFF system must be terminated at the client distribution board.
Interlocks must have a minimum wire size 32/0.2 standard wire gauge (SWG) or equivalent is to be
used for lengths up 100 m.
If a longer length is required then the wire resistance must be considered to make sure the
maximum voltage drop does not exceed 2 V.
The maximum resistance over each of these interlock circuits must be less than 3 Ω.
The type of wire to use must make sure that the maximum voltage drop does not exceed 2 V during
operation for each interlock.
For example:

Maximum voltage drop Maximum cable length Maximum cable length at

Step Action Result


1 Press Search button in treatment room Timer is started
2 Vacate treatment room Timer is running
3 Close treatment room door to complete
maze interlock
4 Press Confirmation button outside maze
entrance
If timer is still running Room Door 1 circuit is complete and
radiation will be enabled
If timer has expired Room Door 1 circuit is not complete and
radiation will be disabled
5 If radiation is disabled, steps 1 to 4 must be repeated within the set time delay to
permit radiation

TDR1 on the client interface PCB can be adjusted to change the time delay. TDR1 is preset to
30 seconds but can be adjusted between 0 seconds and 60 seconds to give personnel sufficient time
to leave the treatment room. This must be set to enable the user to make the Room Door 1 interlock

4.5.2 Measuring the cables


Using Figure 4.1, and Table 4.5 to Table 4.9 as a guide measure the lengths of the applicable the
cable routings.
All measurements are to be made from connection to connection of each item, along the exact cable
routing, including distances for lengths and depths of cable ducts, not by the shortest distance
between the equipment parts.
The distances between the items of equipment must be accurately measured because it is not
possible to coil large lengths of extra cable in the ducts.
For certain sites where maximum stated cable lengths are exceeded, non-standard requests (NSRs)
are necessary. Contact the local Elekta representative

4.5.3 Ordering the cables


The necessary cable kit is ordered using the Cable & Water Hose Order Form. See Site Planning
Delivery Information for an example of the Cable & Water Hose Order Form.
The Cable & Water Hose Order Form is available from your Elekta representative.
The completed form is necessary for Elekta to send the correct cables at the correct lengths to the
site.
Select one length from each of the cable kits shown in Table 4.5 to Table 4.9. This will be the longest
length measured out of all cable routings in each kit. For example, if one cable needs to be 25 m, and
all other cables are 20 m, then the 25 m cable kit must be ordered.
The completed form must be sent to Elekta at least six weeks prior to the expected start of
installation.
If the form is not sent back on time, there will be cable shortages and the start of installation will be
late.
It is the responsibility of the Elekta business unit (BU) or agent to complete and send back the form
to Elekta.
The cables will then be sent from Elekta to the Delivery Name at the Delivery Address stated on the
form.
