Safety Notes 1
Handling of heavy equipment 1
For personal safety the installation personnel should wear protective gear (protective
shoes, gloves, cloth, etc.) whenever handling heavy equipment
ESD Protection 1
The components are delivered with a pink coloured plastic hood. Besides dust protection
this plastic foil also serves as ESD protection to protect the components from electrostatic
discharge.
Several system components contain electronic parts that are sensitive to electrostatic dis-
charge (ESD).
Protection from electrical shocks or hazards 1
Switch off the site specific main circuit braker and remove the main fuses at all times:
before reaching Chapter 8 in this installation instruction
before replacing any parts or components
Starting with Chapter 8 "Start-up of System" power is applied to the system for the first
time in this installation procedure
Radiation Protection Notes 1
Starting with Chapter 8 "Start-up of system" in this installation instruction radiation will be
generated for the first time on the system during the installation procedure.
Please take all necessary steps for personal protection before
handling any heavy equipment.
Please leave the pink coloured plastic hood on the components
for ESD protection until access is required to the component.
Please use ESD protection aids (e.g. wrist band plus ground strip)
at all times before putting the hands on any electronic
components or devices.
Do not touch any electric terminals when the system is on power.
Some components (e.g. slipring, detector) can contain dangerous
levels of voltage even when the system is switched off.
The rear gantry door must be closed at all times during system
operation ! It is protected by a safety switch that will
automatically cut the power if this cover is opened.
All necessary steps for radiation protection must be taken at all
times before generating X-rays on the system.
Any installation personnel working on the CT system has to wear
an xray film badge for personal dose monitoring at all times!

delivered.
Cable W3 (UDC-power) is delivered in the site specific length as specified in the order
(length adaptable, see page 5-12).
Handling of fiberoptic cables 5
Avoid stepping on fibre optical cables.
Minimum allowed bending radius is 50 mm (approx. 2 inches)
Interference on signal and data cables 5
Try to avoid routing system cables next to other equipment cables.
Minimum distance to other equipment cables should be 1 m (3 foot) or more.
Try to have separate cable ducts (shielded) for power and signal cables or route them in
a minimum distance from each other:
- signal cable => mains cable: 5cm!
- signal cable => 400V cable (UDC): 15cm!
Do not coil up any remaining cable length. Route the remaining cable length in a
meander or serpentine way.
Fiberoptic cables are sensitive and can be damaged easily.
Please handle with care and route these cables at the very end of
the cabling procedure. Do not tie them together with other cables!
A correct routing of the cables is a prerequisite for a reliable
system operation. Interference on cables can cause strange
effects and problems. Please follow the instructions.

General Notes 6
Preliminary steps 6
The water hoses for central and gantry water supply must be connected and tightened at
the WCS according to the instructions in Chapter 3.
The magnetic valve "MV1" at the right gantry stand must be fully opened.
- Insert a 5mm allen wrench into the axle of the valve (Fig.1) and turn clockwise (CW)
until mechanical stop is reached.
The valve with the red lever at the WCS "Gantry water inlet" must be closed.
- The red lever of the valve must be in horizontal position (= closed, 1/Fig.2)
The filling valve at the WCS "Gantry water inlet" must be closed (2/Fig.2).
- Turn the valve axle CW until mechanical stop is reached.
The manometer for water pressure monitoring (delivered with WCS) should be
connected at the WCS "Gantry water outlet"
Two 1/2" garden water hoses with the necessary length and the according connector for
onsite water supply must be available. The connectors for filling and draining terminals
are delivered with the WCS (attached inside the WCS).
Filling as well as refilling of the gantry water circuit must be
performed with the WCS switched off !
It is not allowed to operate the water pump of the WCS system
before the gantry water circuit (Gantry-WCS loop) has been filled.
=> Operation without water will destroy the water pump!!
It is not allowed to add any antifreeze to the gantry water supply!
If the water flow is excessive in the gantry, in other words a noise
in the water pipeline is audible, reduce the flow by closing the
valve approx. 15 to 30 degrees (see Fig.2)

Filling the gantry water circuit 6
Install the brass connector (delivered with WCS, for hose connection at filling/draining
terminals) onto one end of the garden hose and tighten accordingly.
Remove the brass cap from the "Gantry filling valve" at the WCS "Gantry water inlet" .
This cap is later used to open/close the valve.
Connect the garden hose to the "Gantry filling valve" (Fig.1) and tighten it.
Install the site specfic connector onto the other end of the garden hose (depending on
the water tap of the onsite water supply).
Connect the other end of the garden hose to a near water tap of an onsite water supply
and tighten accordingly.
Install the brass connector onto the second garden hose and tighten accordingly.
The nominal water pressure for the Gantry water circuit is:
2 bar (+/- 0,2 bar) with the WCS switched off !
Refilling is required if water pressure drops below 1,8 bar!

Remove the brass cap from the "Gantry draining valve" at the WCS (next to the water
pump M3, Fig.1). This cap is later used to open/close the valve.
Connect the second garden hose to the "Gantry draining valve" and tighten it.
The other end of the garden hose must be put into a near sink for drainage.
Open the "Gantry draining valve" with the attached cap. Turn CCW to open valve.
Close the red lever of the valve for "Gantry water inlet"
- The red lever must be in horizontal position
Make sure the manometer is connected to the "Gantry water outlet".
Open the onsite water tap.
Slowly open the "Gantry filling valve" with the attached cap. Turn CCW to open valve.
- Water will now flow through the gantry water loop (WCS -> Gantry -> WCS -> sink).
Check all hose connections at the gantry and WCS for any leakage.
Rinse the system for several minutes until no bubbles can be heard in the system.
- Some air will be also evacuated through the WCS internal venting device (audible
noise).
Close the "Gantry draining valve" and then the "Gantry filling valve".
Open the valve for "Gantry water inlet"
- Turn the red liver of the valve into vertical position (= open).
Now reopen the "Gantry filling valve".
- The water pressure will now increase. Check the manometer.
Close the "Gantry filling valve" when a pressure of 2,2 bar is reached.
Close the onsite water tap.
Recheck the hose connections for any leakage.
Leave the filling/draining hoses still connected in case a refilling is necessary during the
system startup.
For refilling open the onsite water tap first and then the filling valve until 2,2 bars are
reached at the manometer. Then close the filling valve and onsite water tap.
Remove the filling and draining water hoses if the pressure stays stable during the
startup procedures.
- Remove the filling water hose first at the onsite water supply then on the WCS. Drain
the remaining water inside the hose into the sink.
- Remove the draining water hose at the WCS and drain the remaining water inside the
hose into the sink.
Reinstall the attached brass caps onto the filling and draining terminals in the WCS to
prevent any leaking.
6 - 4 Filling the water circuit

Activating the central water supply (w-w type only) 6
Check that the water hose connections for central water supply are tightened properly at
the WCS.
Check with hospital installation personnel (e.g. plumber) to activate the central water
supply to the WCS.
Make sure any onsite valve is opened for correct water flow of the central water supply to
the WCS.
Check the hose connections (central water supply) at the WCS for any leakage.
Check the water pressure of the central water supply:
- Connect the manometer to the connecting terminal of central water supply at the WCS.
- Check the displayed pressure on the manometer.
If the hoses from the central water supply show any sweating effect (condensation) they
must be isolated accordingly.
- This is mostly relevant for solid copper hose connections.
- Have a plumber insulated any sweating hoses if necessary.
Maximum water pressure for central water supply: 10 bars
Max.temperature range for central water supply: 2-16celsius

Adaption to line voltage and frequency 7
General Notes 7
All systems are delivered with a factory default setting of 400 V line voltage on the main
transformer T1 as well as on the additional autotransformer (if installed).
All systems are delivered with the country specific line frequency setting (50 or 60 Hz).
The connectors for voltage and frequency adaption (X251, X262) are using a cage
clamp technique to make the connection. Pushing a screw driver into the hole in the front
of the connector releases the contact and enables removing or inserting the wire. Pulling
out the screw driver reactivates the contact.
Safety Notes 7
System for 380/420/440/460 or 480 V line voltage are equipped
with an additional autotransformer T1 (located in the PDC right
next to the Generator stationary assembly).

Quality Assurance 9
General information 9
Information about quality assurance tests 9
Since the system has been adjusted to optimum settings and has passed all quality
assurance tests in the factory prior to delivery, it is probable that the CONSTANCY and
ACCEPTANCE test results will still be within tolerance during installation.
The only prerequisite for this is that the system configuration has not been changed
since the delivery from the factory.
Quality assurance tests include the CONSTANCY or ACCEPTANCE routines which
contain test functions that check the system adjustments.
The test routines CONSTANCY and ACCEPTANCE are automatic procedures
(Acceptance not yet) and require minimum user interaction.
After each individual test, the measurement results and acceptable tolerance limits are
displayed in the results window. Some values must be entered manually.
After the entire test sequence is completed, the REPORT function in the CONSTANCY
or ACCEPTANCE softkey menu can be used to display an abbreviated measurement
protocol as an image. The measurement protocol does not contain tolerances; however,
it does indicate values which fall below (<) or exceed (>) the tolerance limits.
For installations in Germany only:
- The ACCEPTANCE test routine is required which contains the full selection of tests.
These additional tests are required by Paragraph 16 (16) of the German law
regulating X-ray products.
The program routine can be executed in Service mode or Customer mode
For installations in EU-countries only:
It might be necessary according to the local regulations to perform the CONSTANCY
test (IEC standard EN 61223-2-6) as reference for following constancy tests. This test
includes CT-Dose-Index (CTDI) measurements which need two special CTDI-phantoms
(16cm and 32cm in diameter) and a special dosimeter. See for details at CONSTANCY
test in this chapter.
Documentation of test results: 9
The results protocol from the CONSTANCY or ACCEPTANCE test procedures as well
as all phantom scans taken during the test must be documented on film.
Hard copies of the test results can be generated with the CAMERA function in the
QUALITY menu.
Germany ONLY: The measurement results of the ACCEPTANCE test have to be
entered into the measurement protocol of the document "Abnahmeprfung",
print # CT02-021.820.01.xx.
- The measurement protocol is part of the above mentioned document.
- The document is located in the blue binder "Technical Documents", Register
"Acceptance Test".
The measurement protocols and films must be entered into the blue binder "Technical
Documents" in Register "Acceptance Test" that belongs to the system.

11 - 6 Final steps

Cleaning the system 11
Do not use sprays as they may seep into components possibly damaging electrical
parts, causing structural changes in various thermoplastics, or forming flammable
mixtures of air and solution vapor.
Do not use cleaning agents with the following properties or containing the following
substances:
- Abrasive cleaning fluids or organic solvents such as aldehyde, acetone, spot remover,
gasoline or alcohol They may degrade component surfaces or lead to hairline cracks
which may cause the material to be damaged by even minimal loading. (Exceptions:
alcohol may be used to clean the monitor screens, and aldehyde-based disinfectants
for gantry and PHS hard surfaces).
- Agents which release ammonia by dissociation or decomposition. Ammonia causes
stress corrosion.
- Agents containing silicone. Silicone builds up over time and can result in scaling and
stickiness causing subsequent electrical contact problems.
- Substituted phenol-based or chlorine-releasing disinfectants which can degrade
materials.
Approved and recommended cleaning agents 11
For cleaning the table sides, tabletop pad, cushions, arm and knee supports and coronal
head holder the following agents may be used:
- Tego, 10% vol.
- Gigasept, 6% vol.
- Somplex Perfekt AC, 2% vol.
- Melsitt, 10% vol. (causes minor discoloration).
- Peform, 2% vol. (causes minor discoloration).
Gantry / PHS 11
Clean the surface of the components by wiping with a damp cloth.
ICS / IRS towers / UPS 11
Clean the outside of the components with a soft cloth.
Monitor screen 11
The monitor screen has a sensitive anti-reflective layer.
Clean the screen with a soft cloth.
Pure alcohol or alcohol with 1/3 or 2/3 distilled water may be used.
Do not use cleaning solutions.
Clean the system before turning it over to the customer!
Use only manufacturer-recommended cleansers for cleaning the
surfaces of the system.
Do not use sprays or abrasive solutions.
