WARNING
THIS EQUIPMENT IS DANGEROUS TO BOTH PATIENT AND OPERATOR

UNLESS MEASURES OF PROTECTION ARE STRICTLY OBSERVED
Though this equipment is built to the highest standards of electrical and mechanical safety, the useful radiation
beam becomes a source of danger in the hands of the unauthorized or unqualified operator. Excessive
exposure to radiation causes damage to human tissue.
Therefore, adequate precautions must be taken to prevent unauthorized or unqualified persons from
operating this equipment or exposing themselves or others to its radiation.
Before operation, persons qualified and authorized to operate this equipment should be familiar with the
Recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection, contained in Annals Number
60 of the ICRP, with applicable National Standards, and should have been trained in use of the equipment.
ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT
ON THE LIFE CYCLE OF THE EQUIPMENT OR SYSTEM
This equipment or system contains environmentally dangerous components and materials (such as PCB‘s,
electronic components, used dielectric oil, lead, batteries etc.) which, once the life-cycle of the equipment or
system comes to an end, becomes dangerous and need to be considered as harmful waste according to the
international, domestic and local regulations.
The manufacturer recommends to contact an authorized representative of the manufacturer or an authorized
waste management company once the life-cycle of the equipment or system comes to an end to remove this
equipment or system.

SECTION 1 ALIGNMENT STEERING GUIDE
This Alignment Steering Guide applies to the Proteus XR/f ET-AT-ST RAD
Room during installation.
Make sure that the Column base is properly anchored and leveled, the
maximum tolerance for leveling is  1.5 mm per meter (0.2 in per 10 feet) as
per the site pre-installation room layout drawing.
Note . Keep in mind that the Tube Stand will be reference from where the
Wall Stand first and then Table will be aligned to.
The following items are factory staged and by design auto aligned, so they do
not need alignment at installation:
 Collimator Laser beam against X--ray beam
 Tube collimator support
 Wall stand cover graphic against detector center in the bucky
 Table chassis lateral center with mark
This process consists in 4 steps.
1. Alignment of focal spot with Tube Stand, X-ray Tube and Collimator laser
beam (Tube and Collimator Installation).
2. Connect Table to a wall plug and connect Collimator cable to J3 in table

base (ET Systems) and to J1 at Table Base Connectors (AT System) . For
ST systems, connect the Collimator to the Generator (Non telescopic
Arm Tube Stands or to the Brake Box (Telescopic Arm Tube Stands).
3. Wall Stand alignment with tube focal spot.
4. Table alignment with tube focal spot.

1.1 STEP 1: ALIGNMENT OF FOCAL SPOT WITH TUBE STAND, X-RAY TUBE
AND COLLIMATOR LASER BEAM.
1. Remove the Counterweight Safety Bar of the Tube Stand Column.

ET/ST AT: remove the
upper cover to
access
Counterweight Safety Bar
2. Two people are required for the following task,
a. while one person pushes the Arm carriage downwards,
b. the other one removes the shiping safety screws at both sides
The arm carriage tends to go up as it is factory

counterweighted with the Tube, Collimator and High Voltage
Cables, one person must hold it and carefully let it go up.
c. carefully hold the arm carriage and let it go up to the central

position of the Column. The shipping safety screws are factory
pre--installed in the middle column travel. In case the shipping
safety screws are not installed in the middle travel, use the screws
previously unscrewed and re--install them at the middle holes of
the carriage guide.
a.-- Push down the arm
b.-- Remove Shipping

Safety Screws c.-- Carefully, let the Arm
carriage go up

Prepare the collimator
* Lay a cardboard, towel or

equivalent on a safe surface.
* Unpack the Collimator and leave it

on the Tabletop.
* With an Allen wrench 3 mm, fully

unscrew the Collimator screw #1,
screw #2, screw #3, screw #4

BEFORE PERFORMING SERVICE OF ANY KIND. (REFER TO
SECTION 2.1.)
Follow the steps below to ensure that your system powers up safely, properly,
and reliably.
Potential for Equipment Damage! PDU tap settings must be

checked at both the Generator and the Table. The tap settings
must match input voltage. There is potential for equipment
damage to both the Generator and the Table.
1. Disengage all facility (i. e., hospital) E-Stops.

REV 1 5815720-1EN
2.3 START UP WITH X-RAY GENERATOR CONTROL
The System should be powered by the same Room Electrical Cabinet where
the X-ray Generator is connected, that is, the whole System will be powered
from the same Electrical Cabinet.
To turn the System ON:
1. Turn ON Room Electrical Cabinet Switch. The Emergency OFF Switch

must not be activated.
IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY FORCIBLY DEPRESS

THE X-RAY ROOM “EMERGENCY OFF SWITCH” (USUALLY
A RED MUSHROOM-SHAPED SWITCH).
THIS SWITCH SHOULD BE LOCATED ON OR NEAR THE

X-RAY ROOM ELECTRICAL CABINET, USUALLY PLACED
NEAR THE GENERATOR CONTROL CONSOLE. MORE THAN
ONE OF THESE SWITCHES MAY BE PLACED AROUND THE
ROOM FOR GREATER ACCESSIBILITY.
TO ISOLATE THE EQUIPMENT FROM MAINS, TURN OFF THE

SWITCH LOCATED AT THE ROOM ELECTRICAL CABINET.

2.5 EQUIPMENT SAFETY -- ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
A sudden discharge of static electricity from your finger or other conductor can
destroy static-sensitive devices or microcircuits. Often the spark is neither felt
nor heard, but damage occurs. An electronic device exposed to electrostatic
discharge (ESD) might not appear to be affected at all and can work perfectly
throughout a normal cycle. The device can function normally for a while, but it
has been degraded in the internal layers, reducing its life expectancy.
Networks built into many integrated circuits provide some protection, but in
many cases the discharge contains enough power to alter device parameters
or melt silicon junctions.
2.5.1 GENERATING STATIC
The following table shows that:
 Different activities generate different amounts of static electricity.
 Static electricity increases as humidity decreases.
Relative Humidity
Event 55% 40% 10%
Walking across carpet 7,500 V 15,000 V 35,000 V
Motions of bench worker 400 V 800 V 6,000 V
Removing bubble pack from PCB 7,000 V 20,000 V 26,500 V
Packing PCBs in foam--lined box 5,000 V 11,000 V 21,000 V
Many electronic components are sensitive to ESD. Circuitry design and

structure determine the degree of sensitivity. The following packaging and
grounding precautions are necessary to prevent damage to electric
components and accessories.
 Transport products in static-safe containers (such as tubes, bags, or

boxes) to avoid hand contact.
 Protect all electrostatic parts and assemblies with conductive or

approved containers or packaging.
 Keep electrostatic sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at

static-free stations.
 Place items on a grounded surface before removing them from their

container.
32
REV 1 5815720-1EN
 When handling or touching a sensitive component or assembly ground

yourself by touching the chassis.
 Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.
 Place reusable electrostatic-sensitive parts from assemblies in

protective packaging or conductive foam.
2.5.2 PERSONAL GROUNDING METHODS AND EQUIPMENT
Use the following equipment to prevent static electricity damage to equipment:
 Wrist straps are flexible straps with a maximum of one--megohm (±10%)

resistance in the ground cords. To provide a proper ground, wear the
strap against the bare skin. The ground cord must be connected and fit
snugly into the banana plug connector on the grounding mat or
workstation.
 Heel straps, toe straps, and boot straps can be used at standing
workstations and are compatible with most types of shoes or boots. On
conductive floors or dissipating floor mats, use them on both feet with a
maximum of one--megohm (±10%) resistance between the operator and
ground.
Static Shielding Protection Levels
Method Voltage
Antistatic plastic 1,500
Carbon--loaded plastic 7,500
Metallized laminate 15,000
2.5.3 GROUNDING THE WORK AREA
To prevent static damage of components and parts in the work area:
 Cover the work surface with approved static--dissipating material.

Provide a wrist strap connected to the work surface and properly
grounded tools and equipment.
 Use static-dissipating mats, foot straps, or air ionizers to give added

protection.
 Handle electrostatic sensitive components, parts, and assemblies by the

case or PCB laminate.
