4 ROOM PREPARATION
4.1 ROOM PROPERTIES
Plan a layout and prepare the X-ray room before starting the installation. Refer to the provided room
layout and floor plan drawings of the tube stand.
Please consider the following when preparing for a Camargue installation:
• On the wall stand side, the distance between the wall and the edge of the floor rail should
allow 100 cm FFD, but collision with wall stand must be avoided. (Recommended distance is
970 mm).
• We suggest to use the overhead (wall) guide rail for greater stability. Even if installing the stand
without the overhead rail, we recommend setting the rail rear edge-to-wall distance to 160 mm
allowing for installing the overhead rail later.
• Use appropriate wall plugs and bolts for mounting the rails according to the wall / floor
properties.
If the tube stand is not installed with components that are made by Control-X Medical, Inc., please refer
to the original manufacturer’s specification.
The site must comply with federal regulations and local codes, as well as the
dimensional and power requirement set here and for other equipment.
ATTENTION!
Inspect the room before installation. If the condition of the wall (ceiling) and the floor is not suitable for
leveling, corrective action shall be taken. If the ceiling is not suitable for supporting the upper rail you
will use the supplied wall mounting brackets.
The tube stand requires at least C20/25 grade reinforced concrete floor according to EN 206-1:
Concrete grade Group Compression strength of Compression strength of
D=150mm / h=300mm 150mm cube
object
C20/25 Ordinary concrete 20 N/mm2 25 N/mm2
When anchoring the equipment, the following anchoring or equivalent shall be used (anchors are not
included and types used should be selected according to actual floor quality):

main wall switch of the room shall be equipped with a green Power ON indicator light. If the system
includes an E-Box, the ON indicator of the E-Box is also lit whenever the power is ON.
The Camargue Radiographic System is suitable for use in all establishments other than
domestic, and may be used in domestic establishments and those directly connected to the
public low-voltage power supply network that supplies buildings used for domestic purposes,
provided the following warning is heeded:
Warning: This equipment/system is intended for use by healthcare professionals only. This
equipment/ system may cause radio interference or may disrupt the operation of nearby

Do not use electronic devices in the x-ray room that emit high RF energy, such as radio
transmitters and therapeutic equipment operating with electromagnetic radiation.
ATTENTION!
A warning sign must be installed on the door of the x-ray room stating the following:
The X-ray room must be equipped with a suitable isolation device (e.g. 3-phase breaker) that
disconnects the entire radiographic system (including the X-ray generator, associated
equipment and accessories) from the mains supply in case of:
• the equipment in not in use
• emergency
The isolation device must be equipped with an indicator for both the ON and OFF states and
ATTENTION! must lock into both ON and OFF positions.
The voltage and current rating of the isolation device must be equal or greater than the
supply mains requirements indicated in the X-ray generator accompanying documents.
Reconnect (turn ON) the mains only after safe usage conditions are ensured.
WARNING!
The overcurrent protection device (e.g. circuit breaker or FI-relay) cannot be used and the
system disconnect device. You must use a separate device, e.g. a magnetic breaker.

The objective of this inspection is to reveal and eliminate any hidden malfunctions. The inspection shall
include the following:
• The running track of the roller bearings (contamination of the tracks or running surfaces of the
bearings)
• The forces required for the movement (jamming, loose screw, contamination)
• The operation of the magnetic brakes (unadjustment, loose screw, insufficient contact)
• The most important screw joints
• Wire ropes
• Electrical operation
The Camargue system has been constructed to require minimal lubrication. The parts requiring
lubrication are supplied with the appropriate lubricant when the equipment was delivered from the
factory; they do not require any re-lubrication.
9.1 LUBRICATION
If for any reason lubrication is required, the materials used originally are described below.
Roller Bearings
Special ball bearing grease saponified by lithium. The use of greases inclined to gumming is prohibited,
because they would increase the rolling resistance of the bearings.
Only acid free grease and oil may be used for treatment.
WARNING!
Due to the elongation of the wire ropes with time, the vertical position measuring may become
inaccurate. Perform the potentiometer adjustment procedure to calibrate the position values (refer to
sections above).
