Installation
Digitizer installation and configuration is performed by an Agfa certified
service engineer.
The digitizer is foreseen to be installed in a stationary and weather protected
location. It is imperative to:
• avoid exposure to direct sunlight (e.g. never position the digitizer nearby a
window.)
• protect the digitizer against exceptional mechanical shocks (e.g. casement
doors,...)
In case of an installation in a mobile environment, such as a bus, van, etc, the
manufacturer of the vehicle should ensure that all components of the system
are fixed or can be fixed safely for transport. There is a mobile version of the
digitizer available that provides externally accessible locking systems for the
fixation of the mechanics inside the device.
Caution: Agfa recommends the installation of a UPS (uninterruptible
power supply) for the digitizer to overcome power failures of the
hospital power network and to prevent a resulting image-loss.
Caution: The digitizer and the cassette storage shall be protected against
direct radiation in such a way, that the annual dose equivalent at the
place of installation will not exceed 1 mSv/a.
Caution: When installing the digitizer, care must be taken to ensure that
there is either a mains plug or an all-cable disconnecting device in the
internal installation fitted near the digitizer and that it is easily
accessible.
