scattered radiation.
The X-ray Generator/host system used to power the DC ELITE™
Wallstand X-ray System only produces X-rays when high voltage is
applied to the X-ray tube. When the high voltage is removed, X-ray
emission ceases without delay.
1.8.1 Safety
Everyone associated with X-ray work must be familiar with the
recommendations of the Center for Devices and Radiological Health
(CDRH), the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST), the
National Council on Radiation Protection (NCRP), and the International
Committee on Radiation Protection (ICRP).
Be sure that all personnel authorized to operate the X-ray system are
familiar with the established regulations of the authorities named above.
All personnel should be monitored to ensure compliance with
recommended procedures.
Current sources of information include:
• National Council on Radiation Protection Report No. 33
(“Medical X-ray and gamma ray Protection for Energies up to
10 MEV-Equipment Design and Use”).
• National Bureau of Standards Handbook No. 76 (“Medical X-ray
Protection up to Three Million Volts”). Refer to NCRP Report No. 33.
• Current recommendations of the International Committee on
Radiation Protection.
Although X-radiation is hazardous, X-ray equipment does not pose any
danger when properly used. Be certain all operating personnel are
properly educated concerning the hazards of radiation. Persons
responsible for the system must understand the safety requirements and
special warnings for X-ray operation. Review this manual and the
manuals for each component in the system to become aware of all safety
and operational requirements.
Warning
Ensure exposure parameters are properly adjusted within safety
limits.
Caution
Incorrectly positioning the X-ray tube and Collimator could cause
the X-ray field to be misaligned with the bucky, resulting in
unacceptable images.
Warning
Do not install components or accessories that were not intend for
use by the system. Failure to comply could result in damage to the
equipment or injury to personnel.

Caution
Fiber optic components are very delicate. Improper handling may
cause costly interruptions in operation of the system.
Warning
To prevent eye damage, never look directly into a fiber optic cable
connector or mating adapter. Never assume laser power is turned
off or the fiber is disconnected at the other end.
Considering the fact that an optical fiber is a strand of glass about the
same diameter as a human hair, fiber optic patch cords and connectors are
remarkably durable. However, careful handling will ensure continued
high performance and long life. Do not pull or kink patch cords, as the
glass strand in the middle might become damaged or broken. Even if the
fiber is not permanently damaged, a sharp bend will cause excessive
signal loss.
Fiber optic cables work by bending the light signal as it travels. But, the
light can only tolerate so much bending. Keep patch cord bend radius no
less than an inch. Never use tie wraps as you would with electrical cables.
If there is need for routing, connecting, and/or disconnecting fiber optic
cables, follow the handling procedures below to minimize the time and
expense associated with broken component fibers.
- Carefully work out any tangles-patience will save time and money
- Do not pull on the fiber when kinks or knots are present. Pulling will
only cause knots, kinks, and curls to tighten, increasing the risk of
breakage.
• Always use the correct tools for stripping and cleaving the fiber. It
will save time and reduce breakage caused by scratches.
• Follow all ESD precautions and approved fiber cleaning procedures.
• Always read and comply with the handling instructions on the
shipping container.

2-4 Pre-Installation
DC ELITE™ Installation, Operation & Service Manual
Collimator
Verify the cross-hair pattern of the plastic exit window is centered and
properly positioned. If the cross-hairs need to be adjusted refer to the
collimator service manual for adjustment procedure. Verify the x-ray to
light field congruence. This is a federal regulation and should not exceed
2% of the SID (source – to – image - distance) refer to the collimator service
manual for proper spacing and adjustments.
Tubestand
Ensure the tubestand column is level front to back as well as side to side.
Verify the tubestand bottom rail is properly spaced from the back wall and
is parallel to within 0.25 inches along its entire length. Ensure the tube arm
is level and perpendicular the column. This is to be verified at 0° (beam
pointing down) and especially at 90° (beam pointed to the wallstand). If
this is not set properly difficulties may occur during the tracking
procedure.
In order to establish a common center line for the wallstand, it is essential
the x-ray beam tracks a set point on the receiving wall, and maintains this
point between 40 and 72 inches. This may be the most important and yet
challenging part of a basic x-ray room install. This section may offer
assistance in accomplishing consistent tracking.
Vertical Tracking
This must be performed before horizontal tracking.
With the x-ray beam pointed downward and the collimator light “on”,
release the vertical lock and pull the tube down to the lowest position.
Open both collimator blades to their fully open positions. Mark a spot on
the floor (tape or chalk line) at the point the longitudinal cross hairs of the
collimator projects an image.
Raise the tube throughout its vertical travel and adjust the tube arm until
the longitudinal cross hairs track the marked position on the floor in the
transverse (front to back) direction. This may take a few attempts before
acceptable tracking is achieved. Once vertical tracking is achieved, do not
attempt to re-adjust or adjust during horizontal tracking. Refer to the
tubestand manual to locate adjustments.
Horizontal Tracking
Point the x-ray beam towards the where the wallstand will be installed.
This should be a perfect 90º. Position the tubestand as close as possible to
the where the wallstand will be installed. With the collimator light “on”
and the collimator blades fully open, mark the vertical centerline projected
on the wall. (This should be done with a plumb bob). Move the tubestand
away from the wall as far as practical and monitor the deviation of the
centerline. You will need to repeat this a few times. Adjust the tubearm
until the centerline tracks the common point marked by the plumb bob.
This is your “True” Center-line. Refer to the overhead crane or tubestand
manual for adjustment locations.
