 IMPORTANT! … X-Ray Protection

X-RAY EQUIPMENT IS DANGEROUS TO BOTH PATIENT AND OPERATOR UNLESS

MEASURES OF PROTECTION ARE STRICTLY OBSERVED

X-ray equipment if not properly used may cause injury. Accordingly, the instructions herein should
be thoroughly read and understood before attempting to place this equipment in operation. We will
be glad to assist and cooperate in placing this equipment in use.

Although this apparatus is built to the highest safety standards and incorporates a high degree of
protection against X-radiation other than the useful beam, no practical design of equipment can
provide complete protection. No can any practical design compel the operator to take adequate
precautions to prevent the possibility of any persons carelessly, unwisely, or unknowingly exposing
themselves of others to X-radiation.

It is important that everyone working with X-radiation be properly trained and take adequate steps to
insure protection against injury.

The manufacturer assumes that all operator and service personnel authorized to use, install,
calibrate and maintain this equipment is cognizant of the danger of excessive exposure to X-
radiation, is sufficiently trained and has the required knowledge for it. The equipment herin
described is sold with the understanding that the manufacturer, its agents, and representatives are
not liable for injury or damage which may result from exposure to X-radiation.Various protective
material and devices are available. It is recommended that such materials and devices be used.

Installation

A. Uncrating And Inspection

This table assembly has been specially packaged and shipped in a prefabricated
Nefab crate to prevent damage in shipment. Upon receipt of the table, follow all
instructions written on the shipping crate’s panels and on the contents.

TO PREVENT TABLETOP CROSS (TRANSVERSE), AND GRIDCABINET

MOVEMENT DURING SHIPPING: CROSS TRAVEL STRUCTURE AND GRID
CABINET SLIDES ARE PINNED AND STRAPPED. DO NOT REMOVE PIN OR
STRAP UNTIL THE TABLE HAS BEEN MOVED INTO ITS ASSIGNED
FLOOR SPACE, CONNECTED TO 24VAC POWER AND IS CONNECTED TO
EARTH GROUND.

1. Check for signs of damage to the table-top. (All assemblies are factory
inspected then bubble wrap is applied to prevent damage to the top during
shipping or while uncrating.)
2. Check for loose screws, bolts or nuts.
3. Inspect for bent or damaged metal parts.

THE TABLE BASE MUST BE BOLTED TO THE FLOOR WITH SIX

FASTENERS WHICH HAVE A MINIMUM 1275 POUNDS PULLOUT
STRENGTH FOR EACH BOLT. REFERENCE: ASTM STANDARD E 488.

A. The floor in the installation area should be flat, stable and free from surface
defects.
B. Place the table base in the exact operating position. Make sure that all
levelers are in contact with the floor.
C. Wiring circuits must conform to local codes and be installed by qualified
personnel.
D. Tables are pre-wired at the factory for magnetic lock controls, safety and
performance standards.

B. Table Top Preparation

7|Page
The Table Top, when shipped, is locked down by two shipping brackets. These
brackets must be removed prior to operation. The table top panel is attached to the
Table Frame by Velcro. Carefully separate the hooks and loops of the Velcro down
the long side of one side of the table, then, slowly lift the panel top up and away
from the Table Frame.

Next, remove and discard the two shipping brackets shown here in the photo.

After the brackets and foam blocks have been removed, check for full motion of
table frame and receptor cabinet. If both are moving smoothly with no binding,
replace the table top.

C. Leveling

Depending on the floor conditions, it may be necessary to level the table to the
floor. The table is provided with four leveling feet for this purpose. Using a wrench,
the levelers may be adjusted accordingly. (See Photo). Levelers are shipped in the
fully retracted position.

9|Page
The base must be anchored to the floor. Minimum requirements (4) fasteners with
a 1275 pound pullout strength for each bolt. (4) Anchoring Plates have been
provided for this purpose. See Photo. (Reference: ASTM Standard E 488.)

D. Power Supply

10 | P a g e
The Power Supply Board is located inside the table base under a cover.(See
Photos).

The Power Supply Board supplies all three lock assemblies and requires 24 VAC
Input. The circuit is protected by a 3 amp fuse. If replacement is necessary, replace
with only an equivalent fuse.

E. Lock Location & Adjustment

NOTE: You can easily break the banks of the longitudinal locks if you remove or
replace the tabletop improperly. Check the guide supplied on your table top during
shipment and follow proper procedure if adjustments are needed.

After power has been applied to the table, verify lock operation. Locks are adjusted
at the factory for optimum performance, however, if one or more of the locks
require adjustment, complete the following steps:

Longitudinal Locks: The longitudinal locks are located in the table support frame
at the rear of the table. To gain access, remove Table Top Panel (see photos) and
move the table top toward the rear of the table. The set screws which adjust the
table are located underneath each lock assembly left and right. An Allen head
wrench will be needed to adjust both locks. When adjustments are complete,
replace the tabletop carefully.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MODIFY OR CHANGE THE ELECTRICAL

CIRCUIT. ANY ALTERATIONS WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE POWER
SUPPLY AND POSSIBLE PHYSICAL INJURY. ONLY AUTHORIZED
QUALIFIED PERSONNEL SHOULD SERVICE THE ELECTRICAL
CIRCUITS.

12 | P a g e
Transverse Lock: The transverse lock is located on the left side of the table base,
below the table top.
1) Remove the cover.

All locks on the table adjust in a similar fashion. Each magnetic lock can be raised
or lowered by loosening the hex nut then turning the adjusting screw in or out for
the appropriate height. The distance between the magnetic lock and the strip it is
adhering to should only be a hairline distance. When power is placed on the lock,
the flex plate on the magnetic lock will close the gap and stop movement of the
area in which the lock is placed.

After all adjustments have been made retighten each hex nut to secure the lock in
the proper position. (See Photo).
