Chapter 2 Assembly & Installation
OVERVIEW
This chapter describes the steps required to assemble and install the Model QV-800
Universal System, including making all required electrical connections, and performing
all required alignments and calibrations.
ROOM CONSTRUCTION
A conventional radiographic room construction should be used in the area where
the Universal System is to be installed. Refer to Figure 6-1 in Chapter 6, DIA-
GRAMS for QV-800 dimensions and mounting requirements. Note that the QV-
800 unit weighs approximately 1850 lbs (893.16 kg) and requires construction
sufficient to support this weight. The wall mounting hardware must be capable of
supporting a 400 lbs. (181.4 kg) pull force at minimum. Consult with your State
Health Department or local Building Codes for specific radiation shielding require-
ments.
The following are minimum dimensions required to properly navigate the Univer-
sal System from the delivery truck to the space where it will be installed:
• Minimum hallway size: 90 inches high x 60 inches wide
• Minimum door opening: 83 inches high x 35 inches wide
• Minimum room depth through door (distance from door to back wall in
the room): 90 inches.
• Minimum elevator door size (if used): 83 inches high x 35 inches wide
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
Check that the space location, conduit arrangements and junction boxes are pre-
pared for the permanent installation of the Universal System. Verify that the loca-
tion and space allowed is sufficient for the full range of Universal System/
Radiographic Table (optional) travel without hitting any walls or structures in the
room (refer to Figure 6-1 in Chapter 6, DIAGRAMS for QV-800 Universal System
equipment dimensions).
CDRH CERTIFICATION
The Universal System is not a CDRH certifiable product. However, it must be
compatible and operate in conjunction with other components in the x-ray system
so that the x-ray system performs in compliance with CDRH performance stan-
dards.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When using the QV-800 Uni-
versal System with a QMI x-ray generator, the
"Wall 40"" film/screen AEC calibration setting
should be copied to the "Table 40"" calibration
setting to avoid receiving a backup error if the
operator selects the table receptor. Refer to the
HF Series x-ray generator service manual calibra-
tion instructions for full details. (Note: The table
ion chamber’s MASTER GAIN potentiometer must
be adjusted as required even if copy function is
used.)
COMPLIANCE TESTING
Radiation Warning! X-rays are dangerous to both

the operator and others in the vicinity unless
established safe exposure procedures are strictly
observed.

The useful and scattered beams can produce serious, genetic or potentially fatal
bodily injuries to any persons in the surrounding area if used by an unskilled operator.
Adequate precautions must always be taken to avoid exposure to the useful beam, as
well as to leakage radiation from within the source housing or to scattered radiation
resulting from the passage of radiation through matter.
Those authorized to operate, test, participate in or supervise the operation of the
equipment must be thoroughly familiar and comply completely with the currently
established safe exposure factors and procedures described in publications such as
Sub-Chapter J of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations, "Diagnostic X-ray Sys-
tems and their Major Components," and the National Council on Radiation Protection
(NCRP) No. 33, "Medical X-ray and Gamma-Ray Protection for Energies up to 10 Me
V-Equipment Design and Use," as revised or replaced in the future.
Failure to observe these warnings may cause serious, genetic or potentially fatal
bodily injuries to the operator or those in the area.
It is necessary for the assembler to verify compliance. A series of tests, when per-
formed at the time of installation, will indicate compliance with CFR Subchapter J,
Part 1020, Performance Standards. Ensure the QV-800 Universal System is com-
pletely functional prior to performing these tests.

ALIGNMENT OF PERPENDICULAR RAY, VISUAL DEFINITION OF X-RAY LIGHT
FIELD, CENTERS ALIGNMENT
According to CDRH specifications, the x-ray beam should be perpendicular to the
plane of the image receptor. The CFR 21 Subchapter J, Part 1020 Performance
Standard for visual definition of the light field is as follows:
Means shall be provided for visually defining the perimeter of the x-ray field. The
total misalignment of the edges of the visually defined field with the respective
edges of the x-ray field along either the length or width of the visually defined
field shall not exceed two percent of the distance from the source to the center of
this visually defined field when the surface upon which it appears is perpendicular
to the axis of the x-ray beam.
To perform the following procedure, you will need to use the Nuclear Associates
Model 07-662 Beam Alignment Test Tool (or equivalent) and Nuclear Associates
Model 07-661 Collimator Test Tool (or equivalent).

The procedure is performed at 40" SID with the tube centered to receptor. Pro-
ceed as follows:
Figure 3-1. Placement of Test Tools for Perpendicularity Alignment
1. Place the Beam Alignment Test Tool in the center of the Collimator Test
Tool and put both in the center of the light field. (see Figure 3-1).
2. Adjust the collimator shutters so that the edges of the light field coincide
with the rectangular outline on the Collimator Test Tool.
3. Place an 8" x 10" cassette in the center of the bucky tray.
4. Set the generator for 60 kVp, 10 mAs and take an exposure.
5. If the x-ray field falls just within the image of the rectangular frame,
there is good alignment (see Figure 3-2).

Figure 3-2. Interpretation of the Image of Steel Balls in the

Beam Alignment Test Tool

6. If an edge of the x-ray field falls on the first spot (±1 cm) on either side
of the line, the edges of the x-ray and light fields are misaligned by 1% of
the distance between the x-ray source and the receptor front panel. Sim-
ilarly, an edge falling on the second spot (±2 cm) indicates an error of
2% at 40" SID. The maximum misalignment allowed is 2% of source-to-
image distance (SID).
Table 3-1: Misalignment Tolerance for Visually Defined Field
Distance Between
Maximum
Source and Light Field Exposure Factors
Misalignment Allowed
(Front Panel)
101.6 (40") 60 kVp, 10 mAs 2.0 cm (0.8")
1.82 m (72") 60 kVp, 38 mAs 3.6 cm (1.44)
Note: For a distance other than 40" SID, the dis-

tance between the rectangular image and the
edges of the x-ray field should be measured with
a ruler and compared to the value in Table 3-1 for
the given distance.
7. If the images of the top ball (larger dot) and bottom ball (smaller dot)
overlap, the central ray is perpendicular to within 0.5° (see Figure 3-3A).
If the image of the top ball (larger dot) intercepts the first circle, the
beam is about 1.5° away from perpendicular (see Figure 3-3B). If the
image of the top ball (larger dot) intercepts the second circle, the mis-
alignment is approximately 3.0° (see Figure 3-3C). Refer to collimator
leveling instructions in Chapter 2, ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION for align-
ment procedure. Re-check perpendicularity following any alignment
adjustments.
Figure 3-3. Interpretation of the Image of Steel Balls in the

Beam Alignment Test Tool

Alignment of X-Ray Field and Image Receptor

According to CDRH specifications, the center of the x-ray field must be within
2% of the SID of the center of the image receptor in the plane of the image.
Figure 3-4. X-Ray Film Showing X-Ray Field and Image Receptor Center Alignment
1. To determine the the center of the image receptor, draw diagonal lines
from opposite corners of the x-ray film (see Figure 3-4). The two lines
will cross in the center of the film (i.e., the image receptor).
2. Draw diagonal lines from opposite corners of the imaged x-ray field. The
two lines will cross in the center of the x-ray field.
3. If the centers of the x-ray field and image receptor (film) are the same,
the diagonals of both sets of lines should cross at the same point (see
Figure 3-4). At any SID, the error between the image receptor and the
x-ray field center should not be greater than 2% of the SID (i.e., approx-
imately 2.0 cm (0.8 inches) at 40" SID; approximately 4.0 cm (1.6
inches) at 72" SID).

INTENSITY OF LIGHT FIELD ILLUMINATION

The CFR 21 Subchapter J, Part 1020 Performance Standard for light field illumina-
tion is not less than 160 lux (15 foot candles) at 100 centimeters or at the maxi-
mum SID, whichever is less. The average illumination shall be based upon
measurements made in the approximate center of each quadrant of the light
field.
Refer to the beam-limiting device (collimator) manual for performance verification
procedure associated with this requirement.
INDICATION OF FIELD SIZE
The CFR 21 Subchapter J, Part 1020 Performance Standard for indication of field
size is as follows:
Means shall be provided on the beam-limiting device indicate field size in the
image receptor plane to within two percent of the SID.
Refer to the beam-limiting device (collimator) manual for performance verification
procedure associated with indication of field size requirement.
BEAM QUALITY (HALF-VALUE LAYER) TEST
The following procedure describes a method used to determine the half-value
layer (HVL) of the x-ray beam, also referred to as "beam quality testing".
1. Attach the spacer, positioned out of the primary beam, to the test stand.
Center the stand on the table. Center the source over the stand and
bring the beam-limiting device down into firm contact with the spacer.
Select the MANUAL mode of operation (there must not be a cassette in
the cassette tray). Insert the beam-defining assembly in slot 1 of the
stand with the leaded side up. Adjust the beam-limiting device so that
the X-ray field slightly exceeds the aperture of the beam-defining assem-
bly. Mount the ion chamber at position B with the chamber facing
upward. Connect the chamber and meter with the cable provided.
Select a tube potential that is commonly used and is in the highest kVp
range of the X-ray system.
2. With no added filtration in the beam, make an exposure and record the
reading. For all diagnostic X-ray equipment, use Table 3 to determine
increments of filtration required to perform the half-value layer proce-
dure. Make an exposure and record the reading for each total thickness.

Chapter 4 Theory of Operation
OVERVIEW
The following paragraphs provide theory of operation for Model QV-800 Universal System.
Each circuit description references a functional block diagram contained in Chapter 6,
DIAGRAMS.
OVERALL BLOCK DIAGRAM DISCUSSION
The Operator Control Panel Circuit controls the X-ray generator’s exposure settings
and exposure sequence, and controls the display of settings on the Front Panel liquid
crystal display (LCD).
CONTROL BOARD A1 (AY40-032S) CIRCUIT
The Master Control Board circuit is a high frequency, pulse-width-modulated-based
system. The detailed operation of the Master Control Board circuit (see Figure 6-5 in
Chapter 6, DIAGRAMS) is as follows:
Motion Command Filter
The Motion Command filter monitors the six buttons on the Hand Grip, four slow
speed buttons on the image receptor, and any existing conditions of motion. It is
here where command conflicts are prevented. Valid commands are conditioned
and sent forth to:
• the SID Anti-rotation Lock Board
• the brake release and motor command circuits
• the 2nd order Motor speed control circuits
• Hand grip indicator lamps
Brake release and Motor command
The Command Voltage is measured for its proximity to 10vdc. If it exceeds a
pre-defined window, a signal is generated to turn on the PWM speed control-
ler and power the selected motor. Power to the brakes and motor are
sequenced to ensure voltage is applied to release the brakes before the
motors are energized. Conversely, power to the motors is cut before the
brakes are applied.
Position Decoder
The Position Decoder monitors:
• the Main Arm position (angle)
• Main Arm angular velocity
• Vertical position and limit switches
• SID 40" and SID 72" positions
• Rotational stop commands are issued at:
• Main Arm horizontal position (+90 degrees)
• Main Arm vertical position (0 degrees)

·the max clockwise position (+135 degrees)

·Backup stop max clockwise (+140 degrees)
·the max counter-clockwise position (-45 degrees)
·Backup stop max counter-clockwise (-50 degrees)
·Vertical stop commands are issued at:
·max height
·minimum height
·Vertical position indicators illuminate at:
·Table Height
·Rotation Range
Motor Speed Feedback Signal Processor
Digital encoders create pulse streams whose frequency is proportional to the
rotational speed of the Vertical and Rotation motor shafts. A relay selects the
appropriate pulse stream (rotate or vertical). Polarity and gain are condi-
tioned to form the feedback signal to the 2nd order motor speed control loop.
2nd order Motor Speed Control
Half of the 2nd Order Speed/Torque control loop resides on the Master Con-
trol board and operates in the following manner: A DC voltage between +2
and -2 is generated and added to the null potential (no motion) of 10vdc to
form the command voltage. Command voltage above 10vdc generates coun-
ter-clockwise OR upward motion. Conversely, command voltage below 10vdc
generates Clockwise OR downward motion. The command voltage is
summed with the feed back signal from the Motor Speed Feedback Signal
Processor to form the input to the Pulse Width Modulator.
Alarm Processor
The red indicator lamp on the Hand Grip is labeled "ALARM". If the Emer-
gency Stop button is pushed this indicator will turn on solid and the motors
will be disabled.

The following conditions will flash this indicator:

Primary Torque Limiter fails and ALARM lamp flashes disabled

Backup Torque Limiter activates
Primary Torque Limiter

This is a safety circuit that limits the amount of torque the motion motors can
generate. It allows a force opposing the directed motion to arrest motion.
This force is independently adjustable in four directions:
• Clockwise
• Counter-clockwise
• Up
• Down
The calibration procedure calls out the allowable force in each direction as
well as the method to measure and adjust them. As described previously in
the "Alarm Processor" description, when the Primary Torque Limiter is active
the audible alarm will sound and the red ALARM indicator lamp will flash.
When the opposing force is relaxed (or obstruction is removed) the ALARM
will stop.
Backup Torque Limiter
If there is a failure of the Primary Torque Limiter (commanded motion is not
reduced/arrested by opposing force), an independent circuit monitoring
motor current will trip at maximum current level. This event will interrupt
power to the motion motors and leave the ALARM indicator flashing. It is a
latched event. Power to the QV-800 must be turned off for 8 seconds or

more and then restored to reset this condition.

Reactive Bumper
A soft a polymer bumper runs along the leading edge of the image receptor.
If an obstruction impacts this bumper with greater than one pound of force,
there is an immediate reversal of direction lasting one second. If the original
motion was counterclockwise rotation (most probable for this bumper loca-
tion) the reversal to clockwise is followed by a full stop.
Test Points
TP1 - SID_AT_90_DEG
This is a 24vdc active high logic signal. It changes from 0vdc to +24vdc
when the Main Arm rotates to the horizontal position. This +24vdc provides
power to the SID switch that if pushed, starts the sequence of extending the
Spindle Pin, lifting the SID 40" lock and releasing the SID friction brake.
TP2 - BACKUP_TORQUE_LIMIT
This is a latched +5vdc active high logic signal. It goes high when the
Backup Torque Limiter senses excessive current has passed through the drive
motor. If this is high, the ALARM indicator is flashing and the motors are dis-
abled. Power down for eight seconds to reset this signal to logic low and
restore power to motors.
TP3 - /ROTATE_ON
This is a 20vdc active low logic signal. It goes low when rotation starts and
high when rotation stops.
TP4 - /BUTTON_COMMAND_ROTATE
This is a +5vdc active low logic signal. It goes low if any of the four rotate
switches is pushed. It goes high when the button is released or when a stop
command is encountered at:
• 90 deg (arm horizontal)
• 0 deg (arm vertical)
• +135 deg
• -45 deg
TP5 - CLOCKWISE_FF
This is a latched, +5vdc active high logic signal. It goes high when a valid
rotate clockwise button is pushed (valid means the command to rotate occurs
within the vertical rotation range, in an allowed direction and when the trolley
is NOT in motion vertically). It goes low when a stop command is encoun-
tered at:
• +135 deg

TP7 - /DIRECTION
This is a 24vdc active low logic signal. It goes low when there is a Clockwise
OR Downward motion. It remains high at rest (no motion) OR when there is
Counter-clockwise or Upward motion.
TP8 - COUNTER-CLOCKWISE_FF
This is a latched +5vdc active high logic signal. It goes high only when a
valid rotate counter-clockwise button is pushed (valid means the command to
rotate occurs within the vertical rotation range, in an allowed direction and
when the trolley is NOT in motion vertically). It goes low when a stop com-
mand is encountered at:
• -45 deg
TP9 - /REACTIVE_BUMPER
This is a 20vdc active low logic signal. It goes low when the bumper is
depressed.
TP10 - VERTICAL_FAST_STOP
This is a +5vdc logic signal. It goes high when the bumper is depressed and
stays high for approximately 1 second.
TP11 - /DRIVER_ON
This is a 24vdc active high logic signal. It goes high to turn on the Pulse
Width Modulator, low to turn it off.
TP12 - /VERTICAL_ON
This is a 20vdc active low logic signal. It goes low when vertical motion starts
and high when vertical motion stops.
TP13 - +20 VDC
TP14 through TP16 - GND
TP17 - PWM COMMAND
TP18 - MOTOR_SPEED_OPTO_ENCODER
This is a +5vdc logic signal. When there is no motion, this signal is at
ground. When either motor is in motion, it generates a narrow high-going
pulse stream whose frequency is proportional to motor shaft rotation speed.
Downstream, this signal is level-shifted and sent into the Frequency-to-Volt-
age Converter.

TP19 - +10VDC_REF
This is a +10vdc voltage.
TP20 - MAIN_CONTROL_VOLTAGE
This is an analog signal centered at +10vdc. It is the output of the main
summing amplifier that receives the speed command voltage and the motor
speed feedback. The signal is characterized as follows:

When Torque limiting is fully active (motion is commanded but blocked by
obstruction) this signal rails to either +20vdc or to ground and the AC compo-
nent disappears.
TP21 - FEEDBACK_MOTOR SPEED
This is an analog signal centered at +10vdc. It is the output of the Motor
Speed Feedback Signal Processor. The signal is characterized as follows:

TP22 - MOTOR_SPEED_INPUT
This is an analog signal centered at +10vdc. It is the output of the selected
motor speed. When a motion command button is pushed this voltages shifts
from 10 volts to 10 volts ± the adjustable voltage:

Note: There are potentiometers to adjust

"ROTATE FAST" (adjusts both Clockwise and
Counter-clockwise FAST speed), "ROTATE SLOW"
(adjusts both Clockwise and Counter-clockwise
SLOW speed), "VERTICAL FAST" (adjusts both Up
and Down FAST speeds), and "VERTICAL SLOW"
(adjusts both Up and Down SLOW speeds).
TP23 - WINDOW_DESCRIMINATOR
This is a +5vdc active low logic signal. This signal goes low to:
• turn on the Pulse Width Modulator that drives the motor
• turn on the high current relays that connect the motors to the Pulse
Width Modulator
When the motion command voltage decays to within approximately 50 milli-
volts (from either direction) of 10vdc, this signal goes to 5 volts and the
motors shut down.
TP24 through TP26 - GND
DRIVER BOARD A2 (AY40-024T) CIRCUIT
PWM Speed/Torque Control
The Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) resides on the Motor Control Board and forms
the other half of the 2nd Order control loop that drives the vertical travel and
rotation DC motors. The PWM receives a Control Voltage that is generated on the
Master Control board. The PWM chip controls the polarity and duty cycle of the
MOSFET switches that form an H-Bridge so as to maintain speed and Torque con-
trol. The Current sensing amplifiers for the Primary and Backup Torque Limiters
also reside on this board. Signals from these two current sensing circuits are
detailed in the Test Points paragraph.
ANTI-ROTATION LOCK BOARD A3 (AY40-033T)
Sliding the SID out of the locked 40" position creates a weight imbalance in the Main
Arm that induces a tendency to rotate the arm clockwise. Rotation is prevented by
the large, magnetic, belt-coupled brake and by a smaller magnetic brake on the
rotate motor shaft. As a precautionary backup, a 3/4" diameter steel pin is extended
into the rotation spindle when the SID button is pushed (the SID button is inactive
unless the arm is stopped and in the horizontal position). Once the pin is fully
extended, power is routed to the solenoid that releases the SID 40' lock and the SID
magnetic brake. While the SID button is depressed, the SID can slide to any position.
The SID spindle pin will retract only if the SID button is released when the SID is in
the 40" position and the lock has engaged.
POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT
The power supply provides +24 vdc (+22 VDC to +26 VDC) power needed to the con-
trol circuits.

ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
Typically, a replacement Control Board A1 (AY40-032S) or Driver Board A2
(AY40-024T) is shipped factory pre-adjusted. (For reference, the pre-adjust set-
tings are provided in Chapter 6, DIAGRAMS, Figures 6-8 and 6-9.) However, fol-
lowing the replacement of either Control Board A1 or Driver Board A2, further
adjustments are required in order to for the system to function properly. These
adjustment procedures are provided in the following paragraphs.
ADJUSTMENTS OF CONTROL BOARD A1 (AY40-032S)
1. Rotate High Speed Adjustment:
a. Raise (or lower) Main Arm until ROT RDY lamp on the Hand
Grips illuminates.
b. Rotate Main Arm to 90° (horizontal) position.
c. Using a stopwatch (or second hand on wall clock), press and
hold the CCW arm rotation push button on the Hand Grips
and measure the time it takes the Main Arm to travel to and
auto-stop at the 0° (vertical) position.
d. Adjust potentiometer Control Board A1 potentiometer R275
until travel time equals 13.0 ±0.5 seconds.
2. Frequency-to-Voltage Converter Adjustment:
a. Connect voltmeter negative lead to test point 14 on Control
Board A1 (near top center of board, see Figure 6-8).
b. Connect voltmeter positive probe to test point 21 on Control
Board A1 (near lower right side of board, see Figure 6-8).

in motion.
d. Rotate Main Arm to 90° (horizontal) position auto-stop.
e. Press and hold the CCW arm rotation push button on the
Hand Grips until Main Arm auto-stops at 0° (vertical) posi-
tion.
f. When arm reaches full speed, adjust A1R235 to 11.0 ±0.1
VDC.
g. Re-adjust Rotate High Speed potentiometer A1R275 for 13.0
±0.5 seconds.
Control Board A1 Torque Limit Adjustment
Two methods of adjusting the torque limit and speed are provided; the
first method involves using a force scale, the second alternate method
uses a weight instead of a force scale. The preferred method is to use a
force scale, however the alternate method should be adequate in the
event a force scale is not available.

Torque Limit Adjustment Using Force Scale

1. Torque Limit Adjustment for CCW Rotation:
a. Place a force measuring scale on the bottom of the
image receptor.
b. Press CCW Arm Rotation push button on Hand Grips until
image receptor contacts scale and torque limiting is acti-
vated.
c. The force measured at the point of torque limiting should
be 28 - 38 lbs. If not, adjust A1R238 until force require-
ment is met.
2. Torque Limit Adjustment for CW Rotation:
a. Place a force measuring scale on the top of the image
receptor.
b. Press CW Arm Rotation push button on Hand Grips until
image receptor contacts scale and torque limiting is acti-
vated.
c. The force measured at the point of torque limiting should
be
28 - 38 lbs. If not, adjust A1R232 until force requirement
is met.
3. Adjustment of Electrical Stops:
a. 0° Stop: Adjust A1R121 until both CW and CCW arm
rotation stop at 0° ±1°.
b. 90° Stop: Adjust A1R92 until both CW and CCW arm
rotation stop at 90°±1°.
4. Approach Rotation Speed to Electrical Stop:
a. Press CW or CCW Arm Rotation push button on Hand
Grips and adjust A1R270 such that it will stop within ±1°
from the 90° stop position. (Measure with digital level
CCW and CW).
5. Torque Limit Adjustment for Vertical Down:
a. Rotate the Main Arm to 90° position.
b. Place a force measuring scale below the image receptor.
c. Press Arm Vertical Down push button until arm contacts
scale and torque limiting is activated.
d. The force measured should be 18 - 32 lbs. If not, adjust
A1R241 until force requirement is met.

6. Torque Limit Adjustment for Vertical Up:

a. Rotate the Main Arm to 90° position.
b. Place a force measuring scale above the image receptor.
c. Press Arm Vertical Up push button until arm contacts
scale and torque limiting is activated.
d. The force measured should be 18 - 32 lbs. If not, adjust
A1R246 until force requirement is met.
7. Backup Torque Limit Adjustment (Driver Board A2
AY40-024T):
a. Rotate the Main Arm to approximately 70° position (i.e.,
30° below horizontal position).
b. Press the CCW arm rotation push button on the Hand
Grips.
c. While Main Arm is in motion, press the reactive bumper
on the receptor frame and observe that Main Arm motion
reverses slightly CW then comes to a full stop.
d. Release CCW arm rotation push button.
e. Turn potentiometer R14 on Driver Board A2 counter-
clockwise one full turn.
f. Repeat steps b through e until flashing ALARM lamp
remains lit after CCW arm rotation push button is
released (i.e., "back-up torque limit" is activated).
g. Turn off power to Universal System for at least eight sec-
onds.
h. Turn power back on.
i. Turn potentiometer R14 on Driver Board A2 clockwise
one-half turn.
j. Repeat steps b and c. If the ALARM lamp is flashing after
CCW arm rotation push button is released, repeat steps g
through j until ALARM lamp is no longer flashing.
k. Turn potentiometer R14 on Driver Board A2 clockwise
one full turn.

Torque Limit Adjustment Without Using Force Scale

1. Counterclockwise (CCW) Torque Adjustment:
a. Rotate Main Arm to fully clockwise position (+135°). This
is the starting point for the CCW torque adjustment.
Note: You will gradually reduce the CCW torque
until the alarm starts to activate at some point
along the counterclockwise sweep.
b. Adjust potentiometer A1R238 one-half turn counterclock-
wise.
c. Press and hold the CCW push button until arm rotation
push button on the Hand Grips until the Main Arm auto-
stops at the 90° (horizontal) position.
d. If the alarm did not sound during the CCW travel, turn
A1R238 one-half turn counterclockwise.
e. Return the Main Arm to the fully clockwise position
(+135°). Repeat the CCW sweep until the alarm activates
in the CCW direction at some point along this 45° arc.
f. Once the alarm threshold is found, increase the torque
by turning A1R238 one-half turn clockwise and repeat
the test until the alarm does not occur.
g. Test the rest of the CCW travel of the Main Arm for an
alarm condition. If it occurs, increase the CCW torque
(i.e., turn A1R238 counterclockwise one-half turn) until
there is no alarm anywhere along the 180° CCW arc.
2. Clockwise (CW) Torque Adjustment:
a. Rotate Main Arm until it auto-stops at 90° (chest)
b. Stand in to the left of the Universal System so you can
hold the receptor grip with your left hand and reach the
rotate CCW push button on the Hand Grips with your
right hand.
c. Press and hold in the rotate CCW push button. At approx-
imately 60 degrees arrest the rotation by applying oppos-
ing (clockwise) pressure the receptor (the alarm will
sound immediately). Make a mental record of the amount
of force needed to stop the CCW rotation.
d. You will now adjust the Clockwise torque.

e. Press and hold in the rotate CW button. At approximately

60 degrees arrest the rotation by applying opposing
(counterclockwise) pressure the receptor (the alarm will
sound immediately). Make a mental record of the amount
of force needed to stop the CW rotation.
f. Adjust A1R232 (clockwise to increase torque, counter-
clockwise to decrease it) until the pressure to stop CW
rotation is nearly equal to the pressure needed to stop
CCW rotation that was established earlier.
3. Slow Speed Rotate Adjustment:
a. Rotate Main Arm to 90° (horizontal) position auto-stop.
b. Using a stopwatch or (second hand on wall clock), press
and hold the slow speed CCW rotation push button
located on the receptor and measure the time it takes the
Main Arm to travel to and auto-stop at the 0° (vertical)
position.
c. Adjust A1R275 until this time period is 40 ±5 seconds
4. High Speed Vertical Adjustment:
b. Press and hold the Vertical Up push button until the Main
Arm stops at the upper vertical travel limit.
c. Using a stopwatch or (second hand on wall clock), press
and hold the Vertical Down push button and measure the
time it takes the Main Arm to reach and auto-stop at the
lower vertical travel limit.
d. Adjust A1R273 until this time period is 17 ±1 second.
5. Vertical Torque Up Adjustment:
b. Find an object weighing approximately 35 lbs. (16 kg.).
(Check weight on a body weight scale that might be in
the facility.)
c. Place QV-800 Main Arm Trolley Covers (see Figure 2-11)
along with the 35 lbs. object on the top surface of the
image receptor (use fabric or cardboard to protect recep-
tor surface).
d. Press and hold down the Vertical Up push button and
adjust A1R246 until upward motion just stops. Note that
the audible alarm will be sounded.
e. Remove 35 lbs. object and leave the covers in place.
Press and hold down the Vertical Up push button. Use
opposing force on Hand Grips to stop upward motion.

Make a mental note of the amount of force needed to

stop the upward motion.
6. Vertical Torque Down Adjustment:
a. Press and hold down the Vertical Down push button.
b. Use opposing force on Hand Grips to stop downward
motion. Make a mental note of the amount of force
needed to stop the downward motion.
c. Adjust A1R241 until the downward force equals the
upward force noted in the "Vertical Torque Up Adjust-
ment" procedure.
ADJUSTMENT OF DRIVE BOARD A2 (AY40-024T)
Perform the Backup Torque Limit adjustment on Drive Board A2
(AY40-024T) as follows:
1. Turn BACKUP TORQUE potentiometer A2R14 fully clockwise.
2. Adjust A2R33 for voltage of +4.7 to 4.8 VDC between U2-19
and GND.
3. Rotate the Main Arm to approximately 70° position (i.e., 30°
below horizontal position).
4. Press the CCW arm rotation push button on the Hand Grips.
5. While Main Arm is in motion, press the reactive bumper on
the receptor frame and observe that Main Arm motion
reverses slightly clockwise then comes to a full stop.
6. Release CCW arm rotation push button.
7. Turn potentiometer A2R14 counterclockwise one full turn.
8. Repeat steps b through e until flashing ALARM lamp remains
lit after CCW arm rotation push button is released (i.e., "back-
up torque limit" is activated).
9. Turn off power to Universal System for at least eight seconds.
10. Turn power back on.
11. Turn potentiometer R14 on Driver Board A2 clockwise one-
half turn.
12. Repeat steps b and c. If the ALARM lamp is flashing after
