SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Ionizing Radiation Exposure: When power is applied, this equipment may generate ionizing radiation. Take
precautions that no part of the body passes through the x-ray beam when the equipment is energized.
Avoid scatter radiation during warm-up and testing by maintaining a safe distance from the x-ray beam.
See the Safety and Specification manual for equipment appropriate distance and other precautions
regarding ionizing radiation. All operators must be properly trained regarding ionizing radiation and take
adequate steps to protect against injury.
Electric Shock: This equipment contains high voltages. When the tabletop/panels/ shrouds are removed,
visually confirm that power cord is unplugged and remains unplugged until power is required to complete
the procedure. When servicing while energized, take precautions to prevent electric shock.
Moving Parts and Pinch Points: Avoid moving parts and pinch points (e.g. belt/pulley, arm/back rail, green
wheels/rail).
Sharp Edges: Take precautions to prevent injury from contact with component edges (e.g. OMI/OMD wheel,
arm slot cover).
Hot Surfaces: Keep hands clear or allow components to cool before servicing. (e.g. stepper motors, hard
drives, power supplies and microprocessors).
Heavy Lifting: Obtain help lifting or moving any object weighing over EHS limits. Ask for assistance when
maneuvering awkward objects (e.g. tabletop).
Laser Radiation: Do not stare into the laser beam at any time. The reflection from the tabletop or
shutter/collimator assembly is sufficient to determine if the laser is on.

Note: there may be shims behind the front longitudinal carriage – be careful not to loose them.
Page 9 of 31
REVISION: 16

C. Slide the rollers on the front longitudinal carriage onto the front longitudinal track located
on the frame assembly. Keep the carriage as far as possible towards the head end of the
table assembly.
D. Gently pull the Longitudinal Drive Cable up and out of the way at the head end of the
scanner, being careful not to stress the cable – pull it only as far as is required.
E. If you wish to have an extra hand hold, remove the arm's back cover panel by removing
the Phillips head machine screws.
F. Clip the wire-tie that is holding the tube head / carriage (note tube head is on the arm for
NT-B OR NEWER systems) to the back of the arm.
G. Remove the two lower adjustable wheels from the rear longitudinal carriage plate using
2-7/16” wrenches.
H. For NT-B OR NEWER and MD+ systems with the tube head on the arm – place a wire tie
around the extrusion on both sides of the tube head to hold the tube head in place in the
center of the extrusion.
I. At the head end of the table where the cutout in the rear trough is, hold the arm upright
and position the arm's lower transverse extrusion through the back of the table.
J. Lift the arm and hang the four wheels of the rear longitudinal carriage onto the upper
longitudinal extrusion (this is easier if you tilt the front of the arm slightly downward).

Long Column
Short Column
Figure 1: When the arm is to be mounted it should only be allowed to rest on its back as in the
illustration under the number 1 in this figure.
K. Have a helper balance the arm in an upright position while you slide the front
longitudinal carriage into position and attach it with a flat head screw to the end of the
lower transverse extrusion – do not tighten the flat head screw.
L. Then re-attach the two adjustable wheels to the rear carriage and adjust them using two
7/16 wrenches and a 9/16 wrench.
Note: The scan arm on the DPX-NT / MD+ scanner is supported by a series of concentric (stationary)
and eccentric (adjustable) bearing rollers (V wheels). The concentric rollers primarily carry the load of
the arm. The eccentric rollers are used to stabilize and position the arm, and to adjust the free play in
the mounting of the arm.
M. By rotating the adjustable bushing on its mounting bolt, the clearance between the
wheel and the track can be adjusted.
Normal adjustment is obtained by rotating the eccentric bushing with a 9/16-inch wrench, while
holding the bolt that goes through the wheel with two 7/16-inch wrenches.
The 7/16 bolt should be tight, and the adjustable bushing should be tight enough that the wheel
rotates when the arm is moved longitudinally, but it can be turned against the track by hand.
Page 11 of 31

bracket, the arrows indicate the direction of rotation to correctly
orient it for installation.
D. NT-A only: Turn the tube housing assembly toward the foot end of the scanner (arrow 1,
Figure 2) so that the mounting studs point toward the foot end of the scanner, then
holding the tube housing assembly by the sides flip the tube housing assembly over
(arrow 2, Figure 2) without rotating the tube housing assembly.
Tip: If you leave the series of concave washers (Belleville washers) on the single stud they can serve
as a guide for tipping the tube housing assembly into place correctly, if the washers fall off the stud,
the tube has been tipped the wrong way.
Page 13 of 31
