TABLE Z FRUS (A and SL only)
This section describes how to remove and replace the FRUs associated with Table Z (up and
down) motion of the QDR 4500 (see Figure 5-5).
Pedestal
To remove and replace either pedestal, refer to Figure 5-6 and follow the procedure below. The
procedure requires two pieces of 2 x 4 lumber, approximately 2.5 to 3 foot long, and two pieces
of foam padding.
1.
Remove the electronics tray covers.
2.
Remove 6 flat head Phillips screws from the upper pedestal cover and remove the cover.
3.
Remove 5 flat head Phillips screws from the lower pedestal cover and remove the cover.
4.
Move the C-arm towards the pedestal to be replaced, but ensure that the service
switches on the TZ Motor Controller board are accessible.
5.
Place two 2 x 4s on end, on top of the tank. The 2 x 4s should be oriented front to back,
on the tank, to support the table. Place foam padding between the 2 x 4s and the table to
protect the tape safety switch.
