FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The MAIN POWER CIRCUIT BREAKER disconnects the Battery. It must be ON in order to charge the
unit, drive it from one location to another, and make exposures.
The keyed X-RAY GENERATOR STANDBY SWITCH is turned to OFF when the AMX-II is being driven
or is not in use, to ON for exposures, and to CHARGE when charging the batteries. A key is provided for
this switch to assure that only authorized personnel operate the unit. The key should be taken out of the
socket and retained by the designated operator immediately after a scheduled period of x-ray operation.
The BATTERY CHARGER recharges the internal battery from any 115v or 230v, 50-60 Hz power outlet
receptacle. The unit may not be driven or an x-ray exposure cannot be made when the battery charger
plug is in a power outlet receptacle.
The x-ray unit battery should be charged (as described under OPERATION) whenever the BATTERY
CONDITION needle enters the red band. It should be allowed to charge until the amber CHARGE COM-
PLETE lamp giows, and the BATTERY CONDITION indicator needle is in the green band. Typically,
the battery will charge from too low (red band) to full charge in less than 10 hours. Since the charger is
self-regulating, it is permissible to have it connected to power indefinitely.
CAUTION: ALWAYS LOCATE THE UNIT IN A WELL VENTILATED ROOM WHEN CHARGING IT.
The SPEED CONTROL will vary the speed of the unit in forward or reverse. When released, it will return
to the zero speed position.
The SAFETY BUMPER, located on the front of the unit, will disconnect the drive motor and stop the unit
upon impact with any object.
The DRIVE ASSIST BUTTON, when pressed, will increase the low speed torque of the drive motor. It is
a spring loaded button which should be used when climbing an incline or when moving over the edge of
carpeting or other small floor discontinuities.
