1. UNIT DESCRIPTION
1.1. INTRODUCTION
The Unit is a 90/90 universal remote tilting table system with single end support, variable height
tabletop designed for radiographic and fluoroscopic examinations using standard cassettes.
The special single end support tabletop allows full rear access and easy the transfer of the patient
from the stretcher to the tabletop.
The longitudinal displacement of the X-Ray tube and of the SFD of 160 cm. allows a 203x 43 cm
patient coverage area eliminating the need of patient repositioning.
• Focal distance varying from 115 cm. to 150 cm. (with the option of 180 cm)
• Cassette size from 18x24 to 35x43 cm.; division into 1/2/3/4/5 according with the film size.
The Remote tilting table has been designed in the way that, during normal use, the
operator can not modify the beam axis position in respect with the centre of the
image receptors integrated into the unit. In particular, once the alignment procedure
is carried out during the installation of the unit, it will remain constant during normal
operation. Such alignment is granted also in case of tube inclination

1.5. SAFETY
The Remote Tilting table must be used by qualified personnel, in accordance with the safety
instructions contained into this manual and for the sole purposes for which it has been designed.
Because the Table is used in combination with other units, and in case their use compatibility is not
declared in the unit documentation, the operator is responsible to verify that no dangerous situations
may occur for the patients and the personnel.
For this scope it is good practice to contact the manufacturer of such unit or an expert.
The unit must not be used in case of fault of the proper circuits or of fault of the system of which it is a
part. Identically the unit must not be used in case any alarm device of the whole system is faulty.
Any modification at the unit or at its safety circuits must be approved by Mecall srl before it is
introduced on the unit.
The Remote-tilting table, as any other medical device, must be carefully used and needs periodical
maintenance as specified in the technical documentation.

1.7. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
The x-ray system of which Table is a part must not be operated in any situation in which an explosion
hazard may exists.
This equipment is not classified as anaesthetic-proof and may ignite inflammable anaesthetics.
The protection against electrical shocks has been realised grounding all the metal covers of the unit.
Therefore is imperative to check periodically the proper operation of the grounding system of the
examination room in which the Table has been installed.
Flammable agents used for skin cleaning or disinfecting may also produce an explosion hazard.
Be careful that the unit has been switched off and disconnected from mains before carrying out
cleaning or disinfecting operations on the unit.
Be careful not to pour on the system conductive liquids that may filter inside the unit and compromise
functionality and safety

1.8. SAFETY DEVICE FOR CASSETTE INSERTION / REMOVAL
An invisible infrared beam passing just over the cassette tray handle controls the cassette
insertion/removal area in the front side of the Spot Film Device. This device prevents the possibility
that the operator hands or any other object are in the moving area of the cassette tray. Any
interruption of this beam causes the cassette movement to be stopped and the warning message
[LIGHT CELL] to appear in the lower row of the Remote Console display. In this case the operator
must depress the insertion/removal cassette; the cassette will reach its loading position external to
the SFD at low speed.
34 / 671

1.9. SAFETY DEVICE FOR COMPRESSION CONE
The presence of this safety device must not reduce the attention of the operator
when using the compression cone. In fact:
In procedures involving compression of abdomen, the operator must take great care to
avoid hurting the patient (for example ribs) using the compression device.
It is suggested to advise the patient about the effects provoked by the compression
device and about the rapid movement of the compression cone.
The compression cone assembly has been designed with a special mechanism that allows a very fast
removal of the compression cone in case a dangerous situation occurs.
To remove the compression cone the operator must simply operate the safety knee junction of the
compression cone arm as indicated in the following figure:
35 / 671
9 / 16
1.10. EMERGENCY SWITCH
Two emergency switches are located on the Unit control desk and SFD keyboard. Such switches
disable the power circuit of the table. In any dangerous situation, or in case a movement can not be
stopped, the operator must hit immediately one of these switches. The power circuit of the table is
immediately switched off, but all other units will continue to operate normally.
The emergency switch must be re-enabled only if the operator is absolutely sure that the danger
condition has been removed.
If the Table has been switched off using the emergency switch, x-ray exposures can
not be released anymore.
Provide back up devices for use in case the table is malfunction. Provide a back up unit
with fluoroscopic capabilities as necessary (i.e. a surgical C-arm).
THE OPERATOR IS RESPONSIBLE TO DAILY CHECK THAT THE EMERGENCY
SWITCHES ARE WORKING PROPERLY.
37 / 671
10 / 16
38 / 671
1.11. COLLISION PROTECTIONS
The remote tilting table is equipped with a software module that prevents the collision possibilities
between the unit and the architectural limits (wall, ceiling and floor).
In addition, in order to achieve a better exploitation of the room space, the movements are
decelerated in proximity of the collision point and the last part of the travel is covered at a low speed.
In collision situation on the console remote and on the console of proximity the LED buttons that allow
escaping from collision situation will start blinking. These indications stay red until the operator has
manually removed the collision situation.
In addition, the most important movements are protected by double level safety circuits. The first level,
when activated, disables the movement while the second level power off the motor driver opening the
protection magnetic switch. The operator can try to resume the normal operation carrying out the
following procedure:
In case this operation does not restore the normal operation of the unit, the operator must call the
Service Organisation and avoid any further action.
To prevent accidental collisions with accidental objects it is a good practice to maintain a clear-area
around the unit as suggested in the following figure.

Do not stand at the rear side of the patient tabletop during scanning movements of the tube
stand/Spot film device, during tube angulation movements, during tabletop lateral movements and
during table tilting.
During tomography procedures be sure that the patient’s arm is supported and secured by the
tomography arm holder support as shown in the following figure.
41 / 671
12 / 16
42 / 671
1.12. PROTECTIONS AGAINST RADIATION HAZARD
The Remote Tilting table allows, in normal operation, the operator to release exposures from a
controlled area and it is classified according with IEC601-1-3 as intended for TYPE B applications. In
this case the primary shield must be designed in such a way that the Kerma in air never exceeds 150
µG per hour.
Only for special diagnostic purpose, like non vascular IVR and peripheral and abdominal DSA, the
exposure can be released from a fluoro/exposure footswitch assembly located into the examination
room. Refer to the following room layout for identification of significant zone of occupancy:
700 700
1500
1100
3800
It is also suggested that proper intercom systems be installed in the examination room in order to
simplify the communication between the patient and the operator.
It is responsibility of the customer to provide the installation of such a screen in the way that personnel
could be protected against radiation and could have a large view of the patient and of the examination
room.
During exposures, all the personnel not involved in the operation of the equipment must leave the
examination room or stay behind the protective screens.
In order to protect the patients, the user and any other person against radiation hazard, the
regulations for operating X-rays equipment should be scrupulously complied with it.
43 / 671
13 / 16
KEEP THE DISTANCE FROM X-RAY SOURCE
The dose diminishes by the square of the distance; i.e. at a double distance the dose is 1/4 and at a
triple distance the dose is 1/9.
The dose increases according to the exposure time; (i.e. half exposure time gives half the
dose). In radiography the exposure value is given in mAs.
The protection value exponentially increases with the thickness of the protection. I.e. a double
equivalent protective thickness reduces dose at 1/4; a triple equivalent protective thickness reduces
dose to 1/9.
The dose resulting from a direct radiation is approximately 100 times the dose of a secondary
radiation. Exposures are generally made standing behind protective shields. For exposures near
genitals, assure the most appropriate protection of gonads and ovaries. Persons that stand near the
patients during examinations should wear anti-x aprons. This is also valid for Service Personnel. In
case of activity in controlled areas, always wear the personal dosimeter.
During beam incidence it is possible that the size of the irradiated area automatically set
by the collimator is greater than the Image receptor size.
In this case the size of the irradiated area is automatically corrected to limit at the
maximum the irradiated area exceeding the receptor’s size.
The operator, under his responsibility, can still reduce the size of the irradiated area
enabling the automatic collimator manual mode. The reduction will remain valid during
beam angulation until the irradiated area will not exceed the useful size of the image
receptor.
Procedures for which the operator must operate close to the patient require the additional
use of individual radiation protection devices.
In the following tables have been detailed the size of the occupancy areas with the
related levels of the leakage radiation.
It is under the operator’s responsibility to make available and use the protection devices
necessary to comply IEC 601-1-1: 1994 regulation.

1.13. PROTECTIONS AGAINST EXPLOSION HAZARD
This equipment is not classified as anaesthetic-proof and may ignite inflammable anaesthetics.
Flammable agents used for skin cleaning or disinfecting may also provoke an explosion hazard.
The following topics regard aspects of safety for the patient and/or operator.
The Remote-tilting table has been designed conforming to safety principles. Anyway residual risks
may still exist during the use of the unit, especially as far as improper use of the unit is concerned. To
limit to the minimum all residual risks the following rules should be observed:
1. For safety reasons, the operator shall not set the unit into operation unless he is sure
that neither the patient nor any other person is exposed to hazards due to the
operation of the unit.
2. Always use shoulder rest and handgrips for patient safety
3. Be sure that any mechanical movements of the tabletop or associated components
will not injure the patient’s extremities. In particular be sure that the patient's hands
are insight at all times and do not extend around the sides or ends of the tabletop. A
good way to avoid injury to the patient’s hands is to have the patient using the
handgrips.
4. In procedures involving compression of abdomen, the operator must take great care
to avoid hurting the patient (for example ribs) using the compression device.
5. A special attention should be paid while tilting the table as collisions could happen
with chairs, small tables mounted on casters, film-changer etc.
6. The extreme stop limit positions of the column/SFD assembly may be the cause of
finger trapping conditions between the spot film device and supports of the tabletop
lateral movement.
7. With the patient seated, the longitudinal displacement of the column may cause the
collision between the head of the patient and the X-ray tube/collimator assembly or
with the compression device when this one is in working position.
8. The mechanical relationship between the tomographic bar and the column could
provoke fracture hazard. The hands of the patient and of the operator are in danger,
especially in case of change of layer height.
9. When the column reaches its maximum inclination towards head side and the
compressor is in the parking position there is a collision hazard with the inner hand
grip which is normally inserted in the accessory guide.
10. Before starting any operation, it is suggested to advice the patient about the effects
given by the compression device and about the rapid movement of the compression
cone.
11. The patient must hold the contrast media glass from its support using always the left
hand to avoid to interfere with the compression cone movement from / to the parking
position

5.4. SYSTEM CABLES
The remote tilting table must be completed with a special set of cables that allows the
proper operation of the additional accessories.
Because each installation has its own typical layout, in this section are detailed the lengths
of the standard cables supplied with the systems, showing also the correct way to route the
cables.
In case during the design of the room layout, it is necessary to modify the standard length
of a group of cables, it is responsibility of the installer to clearly specify this configuration
change.
In this section has been also added the system interconnection diagrams for the most
complete configuration supported by the table. Such drawings show all physical
connections between the internal parts of the remote tilting table and the system itself with
other accessories.
For additional information the installer must refer to section 7 of this manual.
Before starting the installation, it is necessary for the installer verify that all
accessories or interface cables are present and delivered in the lengths
defined during the room layout design phase.

95 / 671
Use of the under floor installation plate p/n XSAB02
In case the load capability of the floor is lower than 2300 kg/m2 it is possible to use the
optional load distribution base p/n XSAB02 that must be ordered with the unit. With this
base the floor loading capability must be greater than 620 kg/m2 ( unit weight = 1300 Kg;
patient weight= 180 Kg; loading area = 2,60 m2). In order to correctly the base plate the
installer will be responsible to:
1. Remove the upper part of the floor for a minimum area of 2200 x 1700 mm:
2. Make sure that the floor surface on the bottom side of the base plate is rugged
enough to grant a proper grip of the concrete.
3. Make sure that the base plate is accurately leveled with the upper plate aligned
with the finished surface of the floor as detailed in the following drawing.
4. If required, fix the base plate to the floor using M12 screws as detailed in the
following drawing;
5. Insert M12 screws in the unit fixation holes to prevent the possibility that the
concrete could obstruct the eight unit fixation holes.
6. Pour the concrete with a ration between cement and sand in a 1:2.5 ratio.

5.6. SYSTEM GROUNDING
All the control electronics of the remote tilting table has the 0V grounded.
It is consequently clear that a grounding error in the installation or a ground connection
made with a cable of inadequate section may degrade both reliability and safety level of
the unit.
1. Check that the central ground terminal in the examination room has the
characteristics specified in the safety norms of the country. In particular a ground
resistance lower than 2 Ω is suggested.
2. Connect the central ground terminal directly to the central ground terminal of the
power distribution box by means of a 4 mm2 singe conductor if the distance is less
than 10 m. The cable section must be increased proportionally in case of higher
distances.
3. Connect all ground internal cables only to the central ground terminal of the unit
located in the upper side of the power cabinet as shown in the following figure. Make
sure that the brass fixation screws has been properly tightened
4. Do not add other ground connections that might involve sections of the system, in
order to avoid the possibility to cause ground loops.

5.7. NPUT LINE AND EMERGENCY CIRCUIT
The remote tilting table requires the connection to a single-phase line with the following
characteristics:
The standard configuration of the units includes the 380 / 400V 3-phase insulation
transformer. In case the line voltage is different from the standard one, the installer refer to
section 5.8 for further information.
If possible, it is also a good norm to apply the following rules for the line connection:
1. The input line must be totally independent from any other lines that might create
interference.
2. The main line cable is laid in conduit separate from the cable conduit.
3. The section of the line cables must be minimum 4.0 mm.
4. In case the input line characteristics does not match the requirements it is a good
practice to install a line conditioner.
102 / 671

mounted on the front panel of the power cabinet as shown in the following figure:
The room power distribution box must be designed not only to meet the technical
requirements previously specified but also to comply with the requirements of the x-ray
generator and of the image processor (for more details see the related service
documentation). In particular, the general requirements of the room input line is:
105 / 671
14 / 20
In particular the available settings are:
In any dangerous situation, or in case a movement can not be stopped, the operator must
hit immediately one of these switches. The power circuit of the table is immediately
switched off, but all other units will continue to operate normally.
The emergency switch must be re-enabled only if the operator is absolutely sure that the
danger condition has been removed.
The emergency circuit of the room power distribution circuit must be connected to
terminals CN106.1 and CN106.2 of the system power cabinet as shown in the following
figure:
107 / 671

7. INTERFACE CIRCUIT
7.1. INTRODUCTION
This section of the manual describes the HW interconnections and the security lines
among the different components of the remote tilting system.
It must be underlined that the interface circuit described in this section represents only the
physical interconnections between the single system components and the entire interfacing
possibility.
The system interface circuit has been designed in order to insulate all input signal by
means of photo-coupler factory configured to accept 24V dc-input signals.
The diode of the input photo coupler can be supplied using the on board 24V DC or an
external one by means of proper jumpers settings.
All outputs have open collector configuration; as common return the External I/O Interface
board GND must be used. The maximum current sink for each single output is 30 mA -
40V.
WARNING:
BEFORE TO CHANGING THE INTERNAL INTERFACE CIRCUIT THE
INSTALLER MUST MAKE BE SURE THAT THE 24V DC JUMPERS HAVE
BEEN PROPERLY SET TO AVOID SHORT CIRCUITS AMONG THE
DIFFERENT ACCESSORIES POWER SUPPLIES.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INTERFACE ANY EXTERNAL ACCESSORY IF
SECTION 2.7 OF THE PRESENT MANUAL HAS NOT BEEN CAREFULLY
READ.

7.2. INTERFACE CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
All interface signals are available at DB connectors CN170, CN164 and CN169 located on
the main control board and they are divided in the following groups:
By means of these input signals it is possible to select the operative mode; usually this
input are driven by the x-ray generator in the way that the selection of a particular working
station at the generator console automatically force a specific mode of the table. In
particular:
The radiographic exposure is released under the control of the Image processor once the
cassette reaches the parking position.
The continuous or pulsed fluoro exposure is released under the control of the Image
processor.
The collimator enters in auto mode.
Tomography exposures are allowed. Because the Image Intensifier input plane is lower
than the cassette plane the Unit control, circuit automatically corrects the tomo layer
setting.
The oscillation of the grid can be disabled if necessary ti improve the image quality.

By means of these signals is possible to synchronize the generator exposure with the
system status. In particular:
When active transfer the "second step" command to the CASTOR X-ray generator. Only
after that this signal is received the generator enables the Ready output at the end of the
preparation sequence. This signal is not required for other generators.
When active transfer the exposure release command to the X-ray generator.
When active requests the start of continuous (or pulsed) exposure to the X-ray generator.
When active indicates that the generator has correctly ended the preparation sequence
and it is ready to expose. This signal can be an active low input referred to the unit gnd or
183 / 671

referred to the generator 24Vdc. In this case it is necessary to connect the generator
24Vdc power supply to CN170.36 - CN169.24 and chose the correct setting of jumper
SW9.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
In case the table is interface with an X-RAY generator in which the Ge.
Ready (bucky start) signal is a 110/220V ac output, the installer must use
only the input terminals of connector CN173.
The timing diagram that must be respected in order to correctly synchronize the generator
with the table can be summarized as follows:

7.7. CASTOR GENERATOR & HIRIS DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSORS
INTERFACE
The table can be interfaced with a HIRIS Digital Image Processor only if the CASTOR HF
generator is equipped with the optional interface kit ref. GNA21. In particular the unit interface
circuit must be connected with the HIRIS interface board of the Castor HF generator that is
included in the GNA21 kit. The interconnection between the table and the CASTOR HF
generator must be realized using the optional interface cable ref. 002500.185-A
It is also necessary that the installer set the configuration switches SW6, SW2 and SW3 and
detailed in the following figure:
It must be associated with the use of the SFD mode. In this modality the HIRIS image
processor can acquire the images in the following modality:
Continuous fluoro
Fluoro request arrives from the Table by means of signal FLUORO (Led DL19 and COM.Rx
DL18) and it is transferred to Hiris processor as signal PFL. Hiris processor makes active
signal OFL+ (Led DL38) that, through U1, enters the generator as IFS (Led DL3). The
Generator starts the fluoro exposure and exposure time is given by OFT signal (Led DL31)
which is coming through U1 to the Hiris system as EXON (led DL17).
218 / 671
25 / 50
Pulsed fluoro
Before fluoro starts, Hiris must enable signal PHCF (Led DL33). Fluoro request comes from
the Superix table as FLUORO (Led DL19 e COM.Rx DL18) and U1 IC activates signal IFS
(Led DL3). At the end of preparation generator activates OBS signal (Led LD45) that comes,
through U1, to Hiris on GEN.READY (LedDL16). When Hiris is ready to acquire the images
drives low the potter reply OEXP+ (Led DL36) and IRP signals (Led DL4); every active potter
reply signal lets generator to expose and feedback using OPT (Led DL32) which is translated
by U1 in EXON (led DL17).
Radio (SPOT)
Radio request enters the generator via I_ST signal (Led DL43), that is transformed by U1 in
IPR (Led DL1). Second Step enters directly on ISR (Led DL2). At the end of preparation
generator activates OBS signal (Led DL45) that is sent to the remote table on BUC_ST (Led
DL12). The table, when ready, activates signal rx.GEN (Led DL39) that is transformed by U1
on IRP (Led DL4). During exposure time generator activates signal ORT (Led DL30) which is
transformed by U1 in X- RAY (Led DL13).
WORKING STATION 2
This working station enables the SPOT mode of the HIRIS Digital Image processor and
disables the use of SFD. If the Hiris system is equipped with the DSA package, the contrast
media injector can be triggered by the Hiris CPU and the generator interlocks the exposure
considering the actual status of the injector and the modality selected by the operator on the
Hiris menu. In particular, the different modalities supported in this working station are the
following:
Continuous fluoro
Fluoro request arrives from the Superix Table by means of signal FLUORO (Led DL19 and
COM.Rx DL18) and it is transferred to Hiris processor as signal PFL. Hiris processor makes
active sinal OFL+ (Led DL38) that, through U1, enters the generator as IFS (Led DL3). The
Generator starts the fluoro exposure and exposure time is given by OFT signal (Led DL31)
which is coming through U1 to the Hiris system as EXON (led DL17).
Pulsed fluoro
Before fluoro starts, Hiris must enable signal PHCF (Led DL33). Fluoro request comes from
the Superix table as FLUORO (Led DL19 e COM.Rx DL18) and U1 IC activates signal IFS
(Led DL3). At the end of preparation generator activates OBS signal (Led LD45) that comes,
through U1, to Hiris on GEN.READY (LedDL16). When Hiris is ready to acquire the images
drives low the potter reply OEXP+ (Led DL36) and IRP signals (Led DL4); every active potter
reply signal lets generator to expose and feedback using OPT (Led DL32) which is translated
by U1 in EXON (led DL17).
220 / 671
26 / 50
221 / 671
Injetor Disabled (Led DL37 off):
Radio request enters the generator via I_ST signal (Led DL43), that is transformed by U1 in
IPR (Led DL1) and in P_PREP_G (Led DL20) and in COM.rx (Led DL18).
Second Step enters directly on ISR (Led DL2). At the end of preparation generator activates
OBS signal (Led DL45) that is sent to the HIRIS processor on RAD (Led DL15). The HIRIS
processor, when ready, activates signal OEXP+ (Led DL36) that is transformed by U1 on IRP
(Led DL4). During exposure time generator activates signal ORT (Led DL30) which is
transformed by U1 in EXON (Led DL17).
Injector Enabled (Led DL37 on):
The HIRIS processor enables the injector via INJ.ENA (Led DL37).
Radio request enters the generator via I_ST signal (Led DL43), that is transformed by U1 in
IPR (Led DL1). Second Step enters directly on ISR (Led DL2) and in P_PREP_G (Led DL20)
and in COM.rx (Led DL18) only in case the INJ.ARM (active high) or ARM_0 (ac tive Low)
signals are active.
At the end of preparation generator activates OBS signal (Led DL45) that is sent to the HIRIS
processor on RAD (Led DL15). The HIRIS processor, when ready, activates signal OEXP+
(Led DL36) that is transformed by U1 on IRP (Led DL4). During exposure time generator
activates signal ORT (Led DL30) which is transformed by U1 in EXON (Led DL17).
During the exposures sequence, if the injector has been switched in manual trigger mode
(AUT/MAN =active high or MAN_0 =active low) and signal STR/MAN is active high or siganl
STR_0 is active low, U1 allows the injector to start via signal STR_INJ (Led DL49).
if the injector has been switched in automatic trigger mode (AUT/MAN =active low or MAN_0
=active high) the injector start signal INJ.START (LED DL46) generated by the HIRIS
processor allows the injector to start via signal STR_INJ (Led DL49).
TOMOGRAPHY
The tomo mode is enabled by the operator at the Unit console and this selection is transferred
to the CASTOR HF generator via TOMO signal (Led DL45) that is transformed by U1 in
TOMO_C (Led DL14) for the HIRIS processor. In the same time and signals PBx (Led DL5)
ITA, ITS, ITF are generated by the interface logic for the CASTOR HF CPU. When the signal
T_On (ITA) is active, the generator automatically sets the exposure back_up time depending
on the status of signals ITS and ITF as indicated in the following table:
WORKING STATION 3
It must be associated with the Unit DIRECT mode. Selecting this working station fluoroscopy
is disabled and the operator can release exposures using a film cassette external to the SFD.
Radiography
Radio request enters the generator via I_ST signal (Led DL43), that is transformed by U1 in
IPR (Led DL1). Second Step enters directly on ISR (Led DL2). At the end of preparation
generator activates OBS signal (Led DL45) that, through U1, is sent back to IRP (Led DL4).

9. BEAM ALIGNMENT
In this section will be described all the calibration procedures that must be carried out during
the installation of the Remote-tilting table.
These operations include the alignment of the x-ray beam with the SFD and with the I.I
system.
Some operations have been already executed in factory during the final test of the unit and
should not be repeated.
Anyway it is a good norm to repeat these calibrations at the installation site to check the full
operation of the unit.

9.1. INTRODUCTION
The procedure to check the coincidence between the x-ray field and the simulation lamp
field is composed of a sequence of adjustment that must be carried out as described in the
following paragraphs.
1. Bring the focal distance to its minimum (115 cm), set the collimator for manual
operation and project an illuminated field of 20x20 cm.
2. Put a cassette loaded with a 35x35 cm. X-Ray film under the collimator; center the
cassette vs the illuminated area.
4. Set convenient exposure data in order to obtain an optical density on the film of 0.8
(suggested 50 KVp Η 0.5 mAs ), and take an exposure.
5. Without moving the cassette, set the FFD at 150 cm (or 180 cm) and take a second
exposure. Develop the film.

10. CONTROL CIRCUITS & HW JUMPER SETTING
10.1. INTRODUCTION
The control electronics of the remote tilting table has been designed in order to control the
different movements of the unit as well as to give to the operator the possibility to manually
control the unit.
The unit calibration is carried out by means of the SW utilities the small touch panel (with
LCD display) on the tube side control keyboard and accessing to the Mecall Integrated PC
touch panel.
The unit is always operating using the detector with the only exception of the “free
technique” were the operator can use a standard radiographic cassette.
326 / 671
1 / 12
10.2. CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The Unit control system is composed of four separate CPU boards connected by means of
a serial link. The Remote Control Desk CPU acts as system manager and main user
interface.
All nodes carry out a cyclic redundancy check (15 bit CRC).
They observe the bit stuffing rule and the message format.
A message failure is also generated when no acknowledge is returned by a node.
It directly controls all the main motions of the unit with the exclusion of the inherent SFD
and collimator functions that are controlled from dedicated CPU cards.
This card act also as Interface control with the external world (X-Ray generator, TV chain,
etc). The related I/O signals are optically and/or galvanically insulated (opto-couplers
and/or relay).
On this Card are also located the unit On/Off control circuit, these last commanded from
the corresponding pushbuttons are present on the Main Control Desk keyboard.
It directly controls all the function of the SFD. It is responsible for the correct X-Ray
cassette positioning as well as for the near film shutter positioning and the X-Ray Grid
control.
This card is also managing the SFD control desk (Operator table side interface). The
commands generated from this last keyboard are sent to the Control Desk CPU for a
correct management (all the actions are commanded from the Control Desk CPU).

10.3. HW JUMPERS SETTINGS
There are some jumpers/dip switches that allow the service engineer to
disable safety interlocks of the unit.
Such switches have the main porpoise to easy the trouble shooting
operation of field engineers, but can also dramatically reduce the safety level
of the unit if enabled during normal operation.
IS THEREFORE RESPONSABILITY OF THE FIELD ENGINEER THAT
SUCH SWITCHES ARE NOT LEFT ENABLED IF NOT FOR THE TIME
STRICTLY NECESSARY FOR THE TROUBLESHOOTING OPERATIONS.
In the current section the use of the jumpers and/or dip switches mounted on the different
electronic boards composing the System control system will be carefully described.
It must be underlined that the function of such switches might be related with the firmware
version installed on the unit.
For this reason is a good practice to check all service notes released after the distribution of
this manual to be sure that the jumpers still conserve the original function.

17. ERROR MESSAGES
17.1. TABLE - ERROR SITUATION MANAGEMENT
The remote tilting system is equipped with self-diagnostic software that monitors the status of the
electronics circuits. The behaviour of the diagnostic module depends on the operative status of the
unit, and in particular:
UNIT START UP PHASE
At the unit start-up, an automatic self test routine is executed in order to check the main electronic
circuits and the connected devices. In particular the touch screen console executes the generator
initialization and establishes the serial link communication.
If the touch screen console does not detect any error condition, on the color TFT display the following
584 / 671
figure will appear
1 / 35
585 / 671
As soon as the user touches the GO button the system is ready to start the normal operation; the
table control desk CPU start executing the keyboard test to verify that the joysticks and the buttons
that control the major unit movements are not faulty.
In case an error condition is detected the following error message will appear:
The unit is immediately set of out of service and the user can only try to clear the error by switching
the unit OFF, wait for about 20 seconds and switch it ON. In case the error is not cleared he must
contact the Service team. In case the errors queue list contains more than 1 error, as soon as the
operator clears the error
touching icon on the touch screen display appears the errors queue menu as shown in
586 / 671
2 / 35
587 / 671
Using the UP/DOWN arrows the operator can scroll the errors list.
Touching icon the user can abandon the error display menu.
If the keyboard test is ended without error detection, the control desk CPU executes an
initialization of all the slaves CPU of the system. In case a slave CPU has not completed the start up
procedure the following messages will appear on the LCD display:
Touching icon the user can cancel the current error to force the display of the next one if
any.
Using the UP/DOWN arrows the operator can scroll the errors list.
Touching icon the user can abandon the error display menu.
The user can try to clear the error by switching the unit OFF, wait for about 20 seconds
and switch it ON. In case the error is not cleared he must contact the Service team.
588 / 671
3 / 35
In case of assistance request is important that the operator minutely describes to the
Service team the error messages displayed and the actual status of the unit.
That will allow the service team to reduce at the minimum the Service time.
The Unit control firmware includes a self-diagnostic module that continuously monitors the conditions
of the electronics circuits. In case a fault condition is detected, a specific Error message appears on
touch screen display as detailed in the following figure:
The circuit that has generated the error is set out of order.
The user can also try to clear the error by switching the unit OFF, wait for about 20 seconds and
switch it ON. In case the error is not cleared he must contact the Service team.
In case the errors queue list contains more than 1 error, as soon as the operator clears the error
touching icon on the touch screen display appears the errors queue menu as shown in
the following figure
590 / 671
4 / 35
591 / 671
Using the UP/DOWN arrows the operator can scroll the errors list.
Touching icon the user can resume normal operation without deleting the errors
In case of assistance request is important that the operator minutely describes to the
Service team the error messages displayed and the actual status of the unit. That
will allow the service team to reduce at the minimum the Service time.
The unit must not be used in case of fault of the proper circuits or of fault of the
system in which it is a part. Identically the unit must not be used in case any alarm
device of the whole system is faulty.

17.8. DEIMOS GENERATOR EXPOSURE TABLES
The following Table 1 shows mAs values resulting from preselected mA and ms values (3 point
operation). This table also shows the range and interrelation of these loading factors.
For example, if in AEC operation it is known that the preset backup mAs limit is 50 mAs and 100 mA
is chosen for that technique, then the maximum length of exposure possible (at which time the backup
mAs limit is reached) is 500 ms.
In the above example, read down the 100 mA column to the 50 mAs value.
Then read across to the left side of the page to the 500 ms value, this will be the maximum time
allowed for the stated conditions.
IEC 60601-2-7 requires that this information be provided in a form suitable to be displayed at a
prominent location on or near the control console of the generator.

18. UNIT INTERCOM CIRCUIT
The Intercom system is basically composed of two similar stages, integrated on the control desk
CPU 006050.171 and on the tube stand control 006050.167 boards
The speakers and microphones at the operator and patient side are directly connected at these
boards. To achieve the proper functionality of the intercom system, also the cable code
002500.430 must be present.
The intercom circuit is supplied by the 30Vdc bus of the unit trough switching step down
converters to ± 12V.
The voice transfer from the two stages of the intercom circuit is achieved using differential analog
line drivers and receivers.
The intercom system is controlled by means of 2 bottons that are located at the left-bottom side
of the unit keyboard. Such buttons are merged into the keys matrix and scanned by the console
CPU.
In the actual version, the system is set to offer the following operative modes:
a) Disabled
In this mode the system is completely disabled and neither talk or listen can take place.
b) Listen
In this mode the operator can listen to the patient voice from the remote console.
c) Talk
In this mode the patient can hear the remote console operator’s voice.
648 / 671
1 / 10
The operator can select the operative modes a, b, c, using the control buttons integrated in the
Unit keyboard. In particular:
The selected operative mode is indicated to the operator by means of the Intercom controls
buttons signaling led as detailed in the following table:
650 / 671
2 / 10
651 / 671
18.2. INTERCOM SYSTEM OPERATION
The complete system is composed by two similar circuits; the operator side is set to be controlled
by the external buttons, while the patient side one is in a fixed bi-directional configuration (no
control provided).
ANALOG To Intercom
TX Control Analog
Pre-amplifier Circuit
TX Driver
(only operator side) other side
MICROPHONE
CLISIS
SWITCHING +12V dc
30V dc
BUS POWER
SUPPLY -12V dc
We can now take in analysis the single blocks as seen on the above block diagram.
The microphone signal enters in the pre-amplification block that amplifies the analog signal.
The pre-amplification stage also supplies the necessary power for the microphone.
The analog TX control block controls the signal intensity to transmit in Talk by means of the
trimmer PT9,
The transmission block analog TX driver transforms the single ended analog signal in a differential
one (analog differential + and - signals). This differential analog signal enters in the differential
receiver block of the other card.
The analog differential transmission gives a high immunity to the common mode noise injected on
the interconnection cable.
652 / 671
3 / 10
b) Operator side Signal receiving and amplifying block
The analog differential signal coming from the patient side card is re-converted in a single ended
one by the circuit contained in the RX buffer functional block. The signal in output from this stage
enters in the analog RX control circuit.
The listening volume could be adjusted by means of the trimmer PT6. An additional tone control
could be made using the trimmer PT4.
At the output of the analog RX control is connected the final amplifying stage at which output
(CN1015) is connected the speaker. The connector CN1016 is only predisposed for an auxiliary
secondary speaker or for another use of the audio signal.
The power supply block using the 30 Volt DC generates the +12 Volt DC and -12 Volt DC
voltages.
The Intercom functions are controlled by the console micro-controller that provides the correct
analog switches enable signals (of the analog control blocks), according to the operator
commands.
The microphone signal enters in the pre-amplification block that amplifies the analog signal. The
pre-amplification stage also supplies the necessary power for the two microphones.
The TX analog control block is mainly composed by a volume control circuit that, by means of the
trimmer PT1, controls the signal intensity to transmit to the operator side circuit.
The transmission block TX analog transformer transforms the single ended analog signal in a
differential one (analog differential + and - signals). This differential analog signal enters in the
differential receiver block of the other card.
The analog differential transmission gives a high immunity to the common mode noise injected on
the interconnection cable.
The analog differential signal coming from the operator side card is re-converted in a single ended
one by the circuit contained in the RX buffer functional block. The signal in output from this stage
enters in the analog RX control circuit.
The RX analog control block is essentially composed by a volume control circuit that, by means of
the trimmer PT2, controls the patient listening volume. An additional tone control could be made
using the trimmer PT3.
At the output of the analog RX control is connected the final amplifying stage at which output
(CN514) is connected the speaker. The connector CN515 is only predisposed for an auxiliary
secondary speaker or for another use of the audio signal.
The power supply block using the 30 Volt DC generates the +12 Volt DC and -12 Volt DC
voltages.

The commands that enable/disable the different working mode are the following:
Enable to button:
The “enable to” command, activate / deactivate (toggle function) the voice channel from the
operator side to the patient side. The volume on this channel is controlled by PT9 on the operator
side card. The status “activated” is signalled by the LED of the button.
The “enable from” command, activate / deactivate (toggle function) the voice channel from the
patient side to the operator side. The volume on this channel is controlled, on the operator side
card, by PT6 (if internal volume control is selected). The status “activated” is signalled by the LED
of the button.

18.3 INTERCOM SYSTEM CALIBRATION
The intercom calibration procedure must be carried out in two different steps:
Set the jumpers and the trimmers mounted on the Console CPU board as hereinafter indicated:
PT1 max. CW
PT2 max. CW
PT3 max. CCW
658 / 671
6 / 10
659 / 671
Additional intercom system calibrations
Once the jumpers have been properly set and the trimmers have been pre-adjusted,
additional calibrations of the Intercom circuit might be required.
IN THIS CASE SUCH CALIBRATIONS MUST BE CARRIED OUT ON THE
INTERCOM INTERFACE BOARD MOUNTED INTO THE CONTROL DESK.
DO NOT MODIFY THE CALIBRATION OF THE INTERCOM SYSTEM PCB AT
THE PATIENT SIDE.
The volume related to the operator side speaker is controlled by means of the trimmer PT6; Acting
CW on PT6 the volume increases.
Pay also attention that the patient side microphone might detect the sound signal
generated by the console side speaker. In this case the system could enter in a
close loop auto oscillation and the only way to eliminate this effect is to reduce the
amplification level.
Therefor is suggested to be sure that only the Listen mode is enabled and that the
talk mode is disabled before attempting this adjustment.
