them. If the covers are removed, accidental contact may occur, causing
electric shock and possibly death.

Note the points listed below when it is necessary to connect measuring


instruments such as an oscilloscope to a circuit of the floating section for
any reason. Failure to observe the following precautions may result in
damage to the system.

• Use a differential probe or isolation probe.


• Do not leave the probe cable dangling when the probe is connected to
the measuring point. Doing so may cause shock or short-circuit with the
exposed GND section of the connector.
• When several measuring points are monitored simultaneously using an
oscilloscope, note that the ground levels of the probes become
common.

(Refer to subsection 6.1 "Preparation for Inspection Work".)

4. If it is necessary to perform servicing with the system turned ON, supply


power only to the required parts. At the same time, take safety measures
such as turning OFF the power of the cover switch and CP320 (power to the
rotation servo motor).

(Refer to subsection 6.6 "Cleaning Parts Inside the Gantry


(large-current slipring and other parts)".)

No. 2Y201-060E*A

WARNING: 5. After opening the gantry front cover, support the cover with two
supporting poles to the rear of the cover. Use the supporting poles
correctly.
If the supporting poles are used incorrectly or the cover is lifted
inadvertently, the supporting poles may fall causing the cover to close
suddenly due to its weight, resulting in injury.

(Refer to section A2 "Cover Opening/Closing".)

6. When checking the rotation section, rotate the rotation section manually
before turning the power ON to confirm that there are no loose objects
such as screws that may fall and that all parts such as connectors that are
to be fastened are secured firmly.

(Refer to subsection 6.2 "Checks Inside the Gantry


(DAS thermoregulator, fan, and other sections)".)

7. If a part of the rotation section of gantry is to be removed, be sure to


engage the rotation lock pin of the rotation drive section. Otherwise, the
rotation section may rotate suddenly due to the weight imbalance caused
by removal of the part, and a worker may get caught in the rotation
section and be seriously injured as a result. Hold the rotation section
firmly when pulling out the rotation lock pin.

(Refer to subsection 6.2 "Checks Inside the Gantry


(DAS thermoregulator, fan, and other sections)".)

8. When performing an operational check of the gantry safety circuit,


observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in injury
due to unexpected movement if the safety circuit malfunctions.

• Turn OFF the gantry power supply CP1 before starting the work.

6.6 Cleaning Parts Inside the Gantry Standard time required: 47 minutes
(large-current slipring and other parts)

To prevent insulation failure of the slipring section inside the gantry due to abraded brush material,
clean the slipring section.

DANGER: 1. If it is necessary to perform servicing with the system turned ON,


supply power only to the required parts. At the same time, take
safety measures such as turning OFF the power of the cover switch
and CP320 (power to the rotation servo motor).

2. If it is necessary to rotate the gantry with the cover open, take special
precautions to ensure that persons are not accidentally caught in the
rotation section.

3. When it is necessary to touch the slip ring or brushes (for example, to


clean the slip ring or to replace the slip ring brushes), turn OFF all the
breakers on the distribution board in advance. Otherwise, an electric
shock will result.

24
No. 2Y201-060E*A

CAUTION: When replacing, cleaning, or modifying the slip-ring brush, observe the following
precautions.

* If burrs are found on the brushes, remove them using a cutter. Never use
sandpaper to remove burrs from the brushes. If grains from the sandpaper enter
the brushes, abnormal wear of the brushes may result.

* When removing the cover, be careful not to apply a force to the ring or to damage
it.

* Be careful handling the brushes because they are fragile.


Remove only the burrs of the brushes using a cutter.

* Take care not to allow abraded material (powder) to fall in the gantry.

* When mounting the brushes, position them at the center of the ring.

* Verify that the cable is connected correctly.

NOTE: Before starting work, thoroughly ventilate the work area and take protective measures
such as wearing a protective mask.

The sliprings employ carbon brushes containing metal elements, and abraded brush
material will therefore be generated.
