6-1 Before Installation of the Digital Detector
1. Turn Gantry power OFF.
2. Remove the Compression and Arm covers (refer to Job Card PHY A044 - Remove/Reinstall Gantry
Covers, section 8 page 526).
3. Turn Gantry power ON.
4. Set the Arm to an intermediate height.
5. Rotate the arm to between a working position of –45° to + 45°.
!
Notice:
Never rotate the arm outside of the range –45° to + 45° when installing the Digital Detector. If the
coolant pipes are not secured properly and if this arm angle range is not respected, there is a risk
of coolant entering the inner workings of the Digital Detector.
6. Turn Gantry power off.
7. Switch off the Conditioner (the Generator covers are currently uninstalled at this stage, so you do not
have to remove them to access the Conditioner).
6-2 Installation of Digital Detector
CAUTION
Two people are required for installation of the Digital
Detector. Never allow the mass of the detector to fall
onto its alignment pins before the securing screws have
been correctly fitted.
1. Before starting to fit the Detector, prepare the securing screws.
Apply a small amount of locking compound Loctite 222 to the
threads of each screw.
2. While one person holds the detector against its alignment pins
on the interface plate, the other fits and tightens the two upper
securing screws (1) to hold it in position (5 mm allen wrench,
torque 8.5 N.m).
3. Fit and tighten the two lower securing screws (5 mm allen
wrench, torque 8.5 N.m).
