1. In the Fig. 4-12, reference point “1”, it demonstrates the minimum displaced working zone (along
the X axis).
a. Compare the CONTRUCTORS technical drawings (and the technical drawings that are
supplied with this system) to know the exact minimum space requirements. The dimensions
may change according to pre-planning arrangements, but always based on the manufacturers
original template design.
b. This dimension may be modified, if there is no permanent table being installed.
2. The reference point “2” demonstrates three important centrelines running parallel to the X axis and
intersecting the Y axis: the centreline axis of the X-ray tube output, the centerline axis of the Table,
and the centreline axis of the Wall Stand unit.
a. This referencing point “2” also indicates the minimum distance of the centerline axis between
the X-ray tube Focal Point and the wall in the background. This can be increased if it is desired
to have more working space around the equipment. However, it cannot be less than this indicated
distance or it will cause collision conflicts between the Tube Stand unit and any other devices,
such the option external controller rack or X-ray generator, placed behind it.
b. The minimum distance between the outside edge of the floor rails to the back wall is
calculated to 345mm (with the recommended installation distance of 1200 mm from the back
wall to the X-ray tube housing centreline).
c. The position of the Wall Stand unit is locked to the centerline axis of the X-ray tube output.
3. The reference point “3” indicates the cross centreline axis of the Table, running parallel to the Y
axis intersecting the X axis.
a. The indicated centreline distance, intersecting the X axis, must be respected to stay within the
maximum limits of the working area. It is the variation of the table top to the extreme outer edge,
in contrast to the installation location of the Wall Stand unit, which dictates the minimum
working zone required.
b. This distance value also sets a (very important) minimum working zone between the Table unit
and the Wall Stand unit.
4. The reference point “4” indicates the starting point at where the Tube Stand floor rails should be set
along the X axis.
a. The indicated floor rail position must be respected to have the optimum working distance to the
Wall Stand unit. Using the standard distance dimension, of “920 mm” referencing point to the
wall, the minimum Focal Distance (SID) can be about “697 mm” (this measure depends on the
type of Wall Stand receptor unit that is being used).
b. The floor rails installation position is very important when coupled with a Table. There is a small
working zone, between the starting point until the Table zone begins: this distance must be
adequate enough to allow the X-ray tube to be lowered, to achieve its maximum vertical travel,
without coming into contact with the permanently installed Table unit.
ATTENTION!
For systems with electronic referencing hardware: any deviations or changes to the
floor rails installation referencing point must be planned out carefully. The electronic
calibration methods may have lateral SID minimum / maximum referencing points
thus requiring that the installation dimensions stated by the manufacturers technical
drawings to be absolutely adhered to.
5. The reference point “5” indicates where the Wall Stand unit should be located.
a. The centreline of the Wallstand unit is located on the centreline axis of the Table unit, or the
calculated Focal Point output from the X-ray tube. (see referencing point “2”)
b. The installation of the Wall Stand unit must be made only after installation of the Tube Support
Stand unit. The centering of the Wall Stand unit is easily found after the X-ray tube support
stand has been aligned and adjusted to its working conditions.
ATTENTION!
It is recommended to install the Wall Stand unit, only after having mounted and fixed
the Tube Stand and Table into place -- and ONLY after the X-ray field to light field has
been aligned. The X-ray tube horizontal support arm is non-adjustable: it does not
have any type of mechanical adjustments, to correct the transversal alignments (on
the Y axis).
6. The reference points “6” indicates where the optional OEM external controller rack and OEM cable
support devices can be installed.
ATTENTION!
The electrical interconnection cables are at fixed lengths. It is mandatory to follow
the recommended installation locations to ensure that the cables reach their
associated interconnection points.
ATTENTION!
Study the manufacturer technical drawings that come with the system to know the
specific recommended dimensions for the installation or modifications to the designs.
The technical data referenced here is only an example.

The X-ray tube horizontal support arm is non-adjustable: it does not have any type of mechanical
adjustments, to correct the transversal alignments of the X-ray field to the receptors on the Y axis (Fig. 4-12)
The factory specified alignments, a compatible X-ray tube housing and attaching hardware must be used.
Read further in this manual, in § “5 TUBE SUPPORT STAND MECHANICAL ASSEMBLY”, which
discusses the recommended methods for X-ray tube housing mounting to maintain the alignment
specifications as indicated in the provided installation drawings.
For alignment with the Table units: the alignment of the X-ray field to the Table receptor and can only be
corrected by adjusting the distance between the table base and the floor rails. This is in relationship to
having the correct mounting of the X-ray tube housing. If there are any doubts about the alignment, fix the
floor rails and/or table base in a temporary way until the X-ray tube and collimator unit are mounted to
verify that they can be aligned correctly to the receptor. (see Fig. 4-13)
It is recommended to install the Wall Stand unit, only after having mounted and fixed
the Tube Stand and Table into place -- and ONLY after the collimated X-ray field has
been aligned properly.
4.4 Fixing the Tube Support Stand Floor Rails into Place
See the drawing, of Fig. 4-14, as a reference.
Check for any revisions to the technical drawings, that may accompany the
equipments documentation, which indicate specific recommended dimensions for the
installation. The technical data referenced here is shown only an example.
Following the procedure for correct fastening of the Tube Stand Unit rail system:
1 Bring the rail on floor near the table, putting it in the position which is shown in the drawing;
2 Mark on the floor where holes must be done, paying attention not to make mistakes. To this aim
look carefully at the enclosed plan;
3 Move the rails away from the working area to work freely;
4 Through the use of a power drill with percussion and D14 Vidiam drill, make the fixing holes, whose
depth must be 65 mm at least;
5 Insert the D14 and M8 metal fisher in the holes, so that they do not project from floor (for this
operation use a hammer);
6 Position the rail and then fix it using 10 screws TCCE M8x50, wide flat washer D8 and flat washer
D8 (rail rear fixing).
The fixing screws are not supplied, as standard, by the manufacturer; the described
fixing hardware has to be considered as the suggested one. Other fixing systems
could be used, but as recommended by the manufacturer.
It is possible to order, from the manufacturer, the complete kit for the stand and the
elevating table fixing (code: pn. TFEA01).
Take into consideration that the X-ray tube support arm is of fixed design. If using X-
ray tube housings that are not specified as compatible for use, or using non-OEM
tube housing mounting hardware, the alignment of the X-ray field to the table
receptor may not be correct. In this case, the alignment can only be corrected by
adjusting the distance between the table base and the floor rails.
Both the Stand and Table have slotted fixing points for making small adjustments
during the installation. If there are any doubts about the X-ray field-to-Receptor
alignment, fix the rails in a temporary way until the X-ray tube and collimator unit are
mounted to verify that they can be aligned correctly to the receptor of the Table unit.
For Tube Stand with Table applications, it is recommended the use of installation hardware n.2 Kit TFEA01
Kit TFEA01
Picture index, following page (Fig. 4-14, Kit TFEA01).
Fig. 4-14 Floor Fixing of the Tube Stand and the Table ‘ET’ (Kit TFEA01)
Check for any revisions to the technical drawings, that may accompany the
equipments documentation, which indicate specific recommended dimensions for the
installation. The technical data referenced here is only an example.
See the drawings of Fig. 4-9 and Fig. 4-14 as a reference to this guide.
For new installations, see the illustrations of Fig. 4-15 and Fig. 4-16 for assistance with raising the table
upper section to gain access to the base of the table to make the works.
To fasten the Table it is necessary to reach the fastening holes inside the table base:
Remove the rear panels (inferior and superior) of the bucky table.
To make the bucky table fixing and assembling operations easier, lift at about 70 cm
from floor the upper part of the table, rotating by hand the driving pulley of the
elevating system.
To this aim, use the handle (which is issued with the table and fixed to one of the
crossbars of the elevating system), whose pins enter frontally the holes of the driving
pulley.
mark on the floor where holes must be done, paying attention not to make mistakes. To this aim look
carefully at the enclosed plan;
move the table away from the working area to work freely;
through a power drill with percussion and D16 Vidiam drill, make the fixing holes, whose depth
must be 80 mm at least;
insert the D16 and M10 metal fisher in the holes, so that they do not project from floor (for this
operation use a hammer);
position the table and then fix it using 4 hexagonal-head screws TE M10x60, wide flat washer D10
and flat washer D10 (only on the front fastenings).
Before tightening, check the parallelism and the distance of the table from the stand
rail. If needed, correct the positions by using the possibility offered by the fastening
holes.
Fix the table on level, using a level as control instrument. If necessary shim, being
sure that the screws clamping does not create any deformations in the table base
structure.
The Table is supplied with a schot cable lead that is connected to the ST1 mains strip terminal.
The table mains power conductor cable can be connected to this short lead TEMPORARILY to
the power the table ON and elevate the upper section in ordet to remove the rear panel and
gain accesss to the table base components and connections. This short cable must discarded
after use and replaced by the permanent power cable!
If it becomes necessari, the upper part of the table can be raised, manually, by rotatine by hand
the driving pulley of the elevatine system. To this aim, use the handle (which Is issued with the
table and fixed to one of the crossbar of the elevating system), whose pins eneter frontally the
holes of the driving pulley.
Fig. 4-16 Manual elevation of the bucky table (for elevating table)
position the stand in vertical position, making it slide until the chosen working position;
through a pencil mark to wall and to floor the fixing holes positions;
lightly move away the stand, check using the drawing attached to the following page, the exact
correspondance of all the quotes;
then proceed with making the holes;
through the use of a percussion drill, with a Widiam D12 drill bit, make holes 40 mm deep.
As a fixing system, use 4 metallic anchor Fisher D12-M6 (which are readily available
on the market) and 4 hexagonal screws TE M6x40 + a large washer D6.
It is important to verify carefully that the position reached is the required one.
ATTENTION!
The maximum load in horizontal direction and acting on the fixings to
wall is about 500 N.
It is important that the support surfaces are carefully smoothed. Possible little
differences can be corrected during the mounting phase, inserting the suitable
thicknesses between the base and the support surface.
ATTENTION!
The fixing system, which has just been described, is the most common one and must
be considered as the preferred method of installation.
The measuring of the stand support structures is exclusively under the competence of
the designer, who is responsible of the room’s preparation.
Pos. Description
Pos. Description
The floor support base is provided with non-slip rubber at the area where the
patient's feet rest.
Make sure that this non-slip rubber is facing upwards towards the column and NOT
towards the floor!
The presence of the support base does not require any masonry work and allows a
quick and easy positioning of the stand in the most appropriate working position.
Fig. 4-19 Optional Base Support Plate for Wall Stand Unit
The equipment may be supplied with different options in relation to what is depicted
here. This can include differences in physical appearance, optional hardware and
even operating characteristics.
ATTENTION!
Fix in a proper way the rail to the floor, to avoid a dangerous stand knocking over
during the mounting or the normal working.
The stand base is already mounted by the manufacturer; so it needs no operation before the stand inserting
into its rail.
Pay attention to possible notices on the packaging, which show the stand moving and
lifting ways.
Bring the stand in its vertical position, i.e. in its effective working position, then remove the
packaging paper and inspect that the parts did not suffer from damages during transport.
Any kind of damage must be immediately communicated to the forwarder and the
manufacturer.
The stand is already assembled at factory, therefore it does not need of any operations before inserting it in
its sliding rail.
During the stand inserting into the rails, act carefully to avoid the guiding and / or
sliding bearings damaging. Moreover, it should be better to cover the final part of the
rail with a metal thin sheet, in order to make easier the inserting and to avoid the
extruded aluminium rail damaging.
Do as follows:
remove the closing crossbar on one of the rail short side (13 / Fig. 5-1);
bring the stand base near the rail head;
lift vertically the stand and insert the carriage (15 / Fig. 5-1) in the rail (9 / Fig. 5-1), paying
attention not to force its bearing;
mount again the closing cover (13 / Fig. 5-1) and lock the screws (14 / Fig. 5-1).
ATTENTION!
The insertion of the carriage column in the floor rail,must be performed AFTER
moving away the 4 contrast bearings and AFTER disassembling the electromagnetic
brake.
When this operation is finished, it should be better to bring the stand on the side which is more projecting
from the table; then start the X-Ray tube and the collimator mounting.
WARNING!
Check that the supporting and sliding bearings are correctly inserted in the guides,
which are fixed to the rails. This control is very important in order to avoid injuries to
patients or technical personnel or damages to the unit.
When carriage is inserted, put the contrast bearings in contrast with the rail, so to
reduce at the minimum the play, and re-assemble the electromagnetic brake leaving
a distance of about 1 mm between the contact surfaces.
WARNING!
The slider of the stand is kept locked, during transport,by a safety bolt (see fig. 8).
This prevents the counterweight in the column to exercise its weight force when the
contrast constituted by the weight of the radiogen system is missing.
Before Removing the fastening bolt,at least contrast this force partially by mounting
the x-ray tube.
The equipment supplied may be supplied with different options in relation to what is
depicted here. This can include differences in physical appearance, optional hardware
and even operating characteristics.
* Fastening screws for tube fastening are not supplied (the shown dimensions must be meant as the
suggested ones)

5.6.1 Balancing of the Radiogenic Unit Rotation Movement on the Horizontal Axis
This balancing must be done at the end of the mounting , when it is possible to unlock the permanent
electromagnetic brake of the rotating movement on the horizontal axis. It is important that all cables of the
equipment are correctly positioned as well. Proceed as indicated to balance the assembly and find the
barycentre.
• Procedure:
1 Unlock the brake and rotate the radiogenic unit to verify it is balanced.
2 If balancing is not correct, find the barycentre by moving the radiogenic unit up and down in its
housing support by utilizing the regulation possibilities which are offered by the elongated holes on
the mounting plate.
In mounting of the control board and of the electrical cables, nearly the whole final
weight rests on the stand; At this time, the vertical movement can be approximately
balanced (this must be perfected in final phases of assembly).
The balancing system uses, as active element, a big lead counterweight inside the column, and some iron
counterweight plates to be laterally fastened, in the proper spaces, to the horizontal arm of the radiogen
system.
Balance, at least approximately, this movement by acting on the number of plates that are in the stand arm.
The definitive balancing of the vertical movement must be performed at the end of the equipment
assembling, when all the parts that influence the balancing are present.

10 MAINTENANCE
It is the duty of the operator to check, daily, that all safety circuits and signaling are
fully functional.
The operator must investigate that the controls and ordinary technical interventions
of maintenance are made at the programmed intervals.
The operator should not take personal initiative in this regard but promptly notify
service advisors as soon as there has been a malfunction or a risk of malfunction. The
use of the equipment shall be suspended until such time as it was decided to bring in
good, safe condition.
The responsible party for the safety and maintenance of the equipment must respond
to both user calls and for the execution of the maintenance plan provided by the
manufacturer.
Any work performed on the equipment must be properly registered: Every technical
intervention must be recorded in the Maintenance Register (found on the following
pages) and in the special adhesive labels placed on the equipment stating the date of
execution. This documentation is to be kept with the documentation supplied with
the equipment.
Report to those responsible for the maintenance of the equipment any damage, even
in small quantities (e.g. the paint finish), to avoid creating further damage and
compromising its integrity.
In order to maintain a high quality radiology equipment, and to guarantee its continuous and safe operation,
a constant control of the tests and maintenance must be made at regular intervals as recommended by the
manufacturer with an expiration of at least every year or whenever it is requested by local legislation (refer
to Directive 60601-2-54).
The principle types of controls and their frequency in which they normally must be made are listed here:
If the unit presents dents, repair them; in case of damaged painted surfaces, touch them up using the
paint issued by the manufacturer.
The unit painting is made using powder paint and baking in furnace. To touch up the
unit, a small bottle containing some original powder is supplied; this must be
dissolved through a drop of paint thinner (NITRO preferred) and applied by using a
soft brush.
For the greasing use common universal grease, which is on sale. DO NOT use oils or
other lubricants, that could cause draw or dirty the unit or the working area.
Check the functioning backlash of bearings and of guiding and braking devices.
It is very important to check the slack of the ball bearings and, if necessary, make
their regulation following the instructions written in the previous chapter. This is
required to also maintain the correct alignments and tolerances between devices and
components
Check the correct functioning of the control and braking devices as well.
Check the correct tightening of the nuts and bolts.
Check the correct functioning of the electrical parts as well, that means the functioning of push
buttons and brakes and the integrity of cables and safety devices.
The earthing connections and tests must be made according to the local regulations
and directives of the country in which the system is installed.
Do not use the unit if damage is found at one or both of the two wire ropes or they show tell-
tale signs of breakage or are used up. Contact technical support for replacement of the
broken wire ropes.
The controls of the steel wire ropes must be planned out following the data indicated in the following table.
It is possible to ask for the replacement parts or updates from the constructor that remains at the disposition
for any interventions of maintenance, assistance or extraordinary renovation of the equipment as well.
If it becomes necessary to contact the manufacturer for technical problems or the equipment maintenance,
take note, in advance, of the units serial number and revisions in order to quicken and focus the technical
support intervention. This information can be easily obtained from the identification label, which is placed
on the equipment.
The wire ropes must be replaced at the intervals prescribed and as indicated on the
equipment labels. The technical personnel that carries out the controls must always
fill out the appropriate spaces on the labels by registering the date of its execution
and by signing their name on it.
If any malfunctions are found during the check ,it is necessary to immediately replace
both the ropes and check that also the pulleys and the winding lead nut do not show
damages or tear and wear signs. In contrary case, it will be necessary to replace them
too.
The mains power must be disconnected before proceeding with the cleaning operations. The
water in quantities should not be used, to avoid dangerous infiltrations and undesirable phenomena
of corrosion of the metal parts.
Even products used to clean and disinfect the skin can create an explosion risk.
For disinfection, use commercial products whose effects are tested. Do not use disinfectants gaseous
formaldehyde and aerosol products that could generate dangerous and damaging infiltration into the
equipment.
More information and directions are available in manuals and instructions for
disinfection and protection against explosions.
10.4.1 Cleaning
Clean the equipment with a damp cloth or a cotton swab. Use a non-abrasive cleaning material. To
moisten, use water or lukewarm water with a diluted solution of liquid detergent of the common
household type.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or organic solvents or cleaning agents containing solvents (eg. alcohol,
ether, etc.). Do not use hydrogen peroxide which enhances the corrosion of metals.
Do not use spray liquids! Agents for cleaning fluids must not enter under any circumstances within
the enclosures!
It is recommend to use a damp cloth, preferably hot, taking care to dry very
thoroughly treated surfaces.
10.4.2 Disinfecting
For surface disinfection, it is recommended to use aqueous solutions commercially available for the
disinfection of surfaces based on aldehyde or amphoteric surfactants (eg, Tego 103, Korsolin). Disinfectant
substitutes based on phenolic and chlorine-containing compounds are partially aggressive and therefore
normally to be avoided. The same limitations apply to agents which have an alcohol content when they are
applied in undiluted form (eg for the disinfection of hands).
Strictly prohibited are spray disinfectants, because the spray could penetrate inside the device. As a
result, the safety of the appliance can no longer be guaranteed (damage to electronic components, formation
of flammable mixtures of air and solvent vapors).
Where the entire exam room is to be disinfected, remember to cover the unit with plastic sheeting.
This information must be filled out whenever the prescribed servicing and maintenance procedures have
been performed on the unit(s) at the time intervals specified.

8.1 Safety Measures for the Maintenance
The user should always contact the technical staff for maintenance and repair of the
machinery and must not personally carry out these tasks.
• All work to be carried out on the equipment must be carried out generally only when the
equipment is out of service. The maintenance manager must completely deactivate the machine
before adjusting or replacing a machine element.
• Keep hands, feet, clothing, jewelry and hair at a safe distance from any moving parts to prevent
them from becoming entangled.
• Keep all parts in good condition and properly installed. Repair damage immediately, replacing
worn or broken parts.
• Before starting up the machine again after carrying out maintenance work, check the correct
assembly and operation of all electrical and mechanical protection devices.
BT7630MTE00 – 19-06-2018
Page 37 / 46
Technical Manual
Any work performed on the equipment must be properly registered: Every technical
intervention must be recorded in the Maintenance Register (found on the following
pages) and in the special adhesive labels placed on the equipment stating the date of
execution. This documentation is to be kept with the documentation supplied with
the equipment.
IMPORTANT!
It is obliged of the installer to make sure that the parts of the equipment that require
checks and maintenance are easily inspectable and reachable.This aspect has been
taken into consideration by the manufacturer. In particular, devices and / or circuits
that allow the emission of radiation in compliance with safety regulations must not
be rendered inoperative or removed.
BT7630MTE00 – 19-06-2018
Page 38 / 46
Technical Manual
Report to those responsible for the maintenance of the equipment any damage, even
in small quantities (e.g. the paint finish), to avoid creating further damage and
compromising its integrity.
In order to maintain a high quality radiology equipment, and to guarantee its continuous and safe operation, a
constant control of the tests and maintenance must be made at regular intervals as recommended by the
manufacturer with an expiration of at least every year or whenever it is requested by local legislation (refer
to Directive 60601-2-54).
The principle types of controls and their frequency in which they normally must be made are listed here:
Ground connections and tests must be done based on local regulations and
regulations of the country where the system was installed.
BT7630MTE00 – 19-06-2018
Page 39 / 46
Technical Manual
• If the unit presents dents, repair them; in case of damaged painted surfaces, touch them up
using the paint issued by the manufacturer.
The unit painting is made using powder paint and baking in furnace. To touch up
the unit, a small bottle containing some original powder is supplied; this must be
dissolved through a drop of paint thinner (NITRO preferred) and applied by using a
soft brush.
For the greasing use common universal grease, which is on sale. DO NOT use oils or
other lubricants, that could cause draw or dirty the unit or the working area.
• Check the functioning backlash of bearings and of guiding and braking devices.
It is very important to check the slack of the ball bearings and, if necessary, make
their regulation following the instructions written in the previous chapter. This is
required to also maintain the correct alignments and tolerances between devices and
components.
• Check the correct functioning of the control and braking devices as well.
• Check the correct tightening of the nuts and bolts.
• Check the correct functioning of the electrical parts as well, that means the functioning of push
buttons and brakes and the integrity of cables and safety devices.
BT7630MTE00 – 19-06-2018
Page 40 / 46
Technical Manual
• The mains power must be disconnected before proceeding with the cleaning operations. The
water in quantities should not be used, to avoid dangerous infiltrations and undesirable
phenomena of corrosion of the metal parts.
• Even products used to clean and disinfect the skin can create an explosion risk.
• For disinfection, use commercial products whose effects are tested. Do not use disinfectants
gaseous formaldehyde and aerosol products that could generate dangerous and damaging
infiltration into the equipment.
More information and directions are available in manuals and instructions for
disinfection and protection against explosions.
8.5.1 Cleaning
• Clean the equipment with a damp cloth or a cotton swab. Use a non-abrasive cleaning material.
To moisten, use water or lukewarm water with a diluted solution of liquid detergent of the
common household type.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or organic solvents or cleaning agents containing solvents (eg.
alcohol, ether, etc.). Do not use hydrogen peroxide which enhances the corrosion of metals.
• Do not use spray liquids! Agents for cleaning fluids must not enter under any circumstances
within the enclosures!
It is recommend to use a damp cloth, preferably hot, taking care to dry very
thoroughly treated surfaces.
8.5.2 Disinfecting
For surface disinfection, it is recommended to use aqueous solutions commercially available for the
disinfection of surfaces based on aldehyde or amphoteric surfactants (eg, Tego 103, Korsolin). Disinfectant
substitutes based on phenolic and chlorine-containing compounds are partially aggressive and therefore
normally to be avoided. The same limitations apply to agents which have an alcohol content when they are
applied in undiluted form (eg for the disinfection of hands).
Strictly prohibited are spray disinfectants, because the spray could penetrate inside the device. As a
result, the safety of the appliance can no longer be guaranteed (damage to electronic components, formation
of flammable mixtures of air and solvent vapors).
Where the entire exam room is to be disinfected, remember to cover the unit with plastic sheeting.

CHAPTER 4
INSTALLATION
4 - INSTALLATION
Before using the equipment, the operators should read the Chapter no. 2
about the SAFETY MEASURES.
The equipment must be installed and can be maintained only by authorized and
trained personnel. In particular, this must be informed about the possible
dangers caused by an equipment incorrect use and residual risks.
Before the installation, the unit can be kept in the warehouse for some time with
its original packaging. In any case, although every metal part is carefully
covered by protection paint or oxidation superficial treatment, the equipment is
not planned to work or be stocked outdoor. In fact, it cannot stand the humidity;
for this reason, do not keep it outdoor or in extreme environment conditions.
Make sure the cases are well fixed during the transport to avoid blows which
could damage their contents.
Pay attention to the hanging loads moving in order to avoid dangers for people or things.
The wooden cases are made to be lifted through a lifting device (forklift truck).
If they must be lifted from the top (crane), it is necessary to sling them through
suitable ropes, which must twine round the case.
Refer to the instructions outside the cases for their moving and lifting.
The CASE , whose dimensions are 235x95x80 cm (gross weight, about 400 kg), contains:
the bucky table (without the table top);
the bucky table top;
the requested accessories.
When the table is coupled to another equipment (for example to a floor or ceiling stand) the case of the
table only contains the table with its accessories, while the table top panel is in the case that contains the
stand.
In this hypothesis, the dimensions of the case become 160x95x80 (gross weight about 360 kg).
Case content.
ATTENTION!!!
It is important that the supporting surfaces are carefully smoothed; possible little
differences can be corrected during the mounting phase inserting the suitable
thicknesses between the table and supporting surfaces.
ATTENTION!!!
The dimensioning of the table supporting structures is exclusively under the
competence of the designer, who is responsible of the rooms preparation.
To make the bucky table mounting and assembling operations easier, lift at
about 70 cm from floor the upper part of the table, rotating by hand the driving
pulley of the elevating system.
To do this, use the handle (which is issued with the table and fixed to one of the
crossbars of the elevating system), whose pins enter frontally the holes of the
driving pulley.
Mark the fixing positions and, through a power drill with percussion and D16 widiam drill, make the
fixing holes, whose depth must be 80 mm at least. Insert the D16 and M10 metal fisher in the holes;
then fix the table using hexagonal-head screws TE M10x60 or Allen screws TCCE M10x60.
Fix the table on level, using a level as control instrument. If necessary shim,
being sure that the screws clamping does not create any deformations in the
table base structure.
CHAPTER 5
MOUNTING
5 - MOUNTING
5.1 - UNLOCKING THE BUCKY TABLE
Once the table is set working, the upper top can be unlocked (during the transport this top is kept in position
through clamps, which are shown in the picture). Unlock the bucky carriage too; this is kept still through
appropriate clamps or wrapping paper.
Before closing the table with the front panel, make the necessary electrical
connections.
ATTENTION !!!
Verify that the top and the bucky carriage are completely unlocked, before using
the equipment in order to permit a good working and to avoid the unit damaging.
Once the frame is extracted from the guides, the bucky cover can be removed and it is possible to get it or
insert one if it is absent.
During the transport, the transversal frame is locked through two clamps which
are on its side, in particular on one of the sliding guides. Therefore, to remove

5 - Mounting
5.1 – Mounting of the support base.
If the stand is the one with floor support (model TRN43B) first you must mount the base on the bucky stand
column.
To do this, it is necessary to proceed as follows:
place the stand column horizontally on two supports;
position the floor support to the column base;
then fasten it strongly using 4 screws TSCE M6x20 + Loctite;
When the operation is over, put the stand on its work vertical position.
The support base presence does not need any masonry works and permits a
rapid and easy positioning of the stand in the best working position.
It is important to verify carefully that the reached position is the required one.
through a pencil mark to wall and to floor the fixing holes positions;
lightly move away the stand, check using the drawing attached to the following page, the exact
correspondance of all the quotes;
then proceed with making the holes;
through a percussion drill with a Widiam D12 drill bit make holes 40 mm deep.
As fixing system use 4 metallic anchor Fisher D12-M6 (which are on the
market) and 4 hexagonal screws TE M6x40 + a large washer D6.
Or optional kit: TRA024

ATTENTION!!!
The maximum load in horizontal direction and acting on the fixings to wall is
about 500 N.
It is important that the support surfaces are carefully smoothed. Possible little
differences can be corrected during the mounting phase, inserting the suitable
thicknesses between the base and the support surface.
ATTENTION!!!
The fixing system, which has just been described, is the most common one and
must be considered as the preferred method of installation.
The measuring of the stand support structures is exclusively under the
competence of the designer, who is responsible of the rooms preparation.
ATTENTION!!!
Mount the bucky before the unlocking of the clamp which avoids the vertical
carriage sliding. The counterweight which slides inside the column is not
correctly balanced; for this reason, it could injure persons or damage things.
