Introduction
This chapter describes how to mount, position, and level the CT Scanner subsystems.
Note: Before you start the installation, make sure the site preparation complies with conditions and
instructions found in the Pre-installation Manual for this system. Failure to comply results in
excessive installation delay and potential increased, unrecoverable installation costs. This product
is designed to meet specific mechanical installation standards that should be reviewed prior to
installing this system.
2.1 Overview
Note: Installation paperwork is required for all installations.
Procedures in this chapter provide detailed instructions to position, level, and anchor the gantry and
table securely for operation. The system uses adjustable leveling pads to support the gantry and
table. The gantry has four (4) primary leveling pads located on the gantry base. The table has four
(4) pads used for leveling it.
The process you follow is:
1.) Use the room-layout template to determine the general position of the gantry and table.
2.) Move the gantry into position.
3.) Level gantry.
4.) Use the laser tool to position the table relative to the gantry.
5.) Level the table to the gantry, and anchor the system.
6.) Complete the mechanical installation section of GE Form e4879.
Note: Use the template to position the system. Use the gantry and table to locate and drill the anchor
holes. Drill the anchor holes with the system in place. Refer to Section Section 5.0, on page 39 for
an example of this procedure. This CT system installation procedure requires the items listed in
Section Section 2.3, on page 27.
2.2 Pre-Installation Template
Always use the room layout template (two pieces), during installation. The gantry and table are not
properly aligned if existing holes are used. The template shows the location of the gantry and table
anchor holes.
The applicable template is shipped with the system. It is located on the middle shelf on the Lean
Installation Cart. You can also order it via the web GEMS BUY, from Coakley-Tech.
