3.7.2 Initial Power Up
Prior to initial power up of the system, verify the input panel has been tapped to
match the input power source.
1. Perform the following pre-power up checks before applying power to the sys-
tem:
A. Verify that all three Emergency OFF switches are reset (four switches if con-
trol panel is remotely installed) by turning them clockwise.
B. Be sure the room is clear of obstructions.
C. Correct all discrepancies before applying power.
D. Position the radiation shield (if applicable) on the unit (you will not be able
to secure the shield in place as the right side cover is removed at this point).
2. Apply power to the system as follows:
A. If a film labeling device is installed, apply power to the device (AutoFilm
I.D.). The AutoFilm I.D. has a “rocker” type power switch.
E. Flip the circuit breaker on the rear of the Gantry up (ON position). The back
light of the display is indication that power is applied.
F. The Control Panel (refer to Chapter 3, Figure 3-1, Item 9) will display a mes-
sage informing the user that internal checks are being performed.
G. Verify that the Control Panel displays the Run Mode screen after power up.
H. If the AutoFilm I.D. is installed, verify that the Patient Information Screen is
displayed. Refer to the AutoFilm I.D. User’s Guide.
Note… If the system detects a fault condition during startup, an appropriate
message will appear on the screen. The power up sequence is suspended
until the condition that caused the alert is remedied. Refer to the Alert
Codes listed in Chapter 5, Section 3.2, Table 5-2.
3. Perform the Post Power Up Checks as per Chapter 3, Section 2.3.
3.7.3 Setting Operational Parameters
Upon completion of initial power up procedures, the following calibration and
alignment procedures must be performed to establish site preferences for system
operations.
• Set User Defaults—Chapter 3, Section 4.0.
• Calibration Procedures—Chapter 4, Section 2.0.
• Performance Checks—Chapter 4, Section 6.0.
• X-ray and Light Field Check and Alignment Procedures—Chapter 4, Section 7.0.
3.8 Final Operational Setup
Upon completion of the calibration and alignment procedures, the following steps must be
performed to ready the system for operations.
1. Remove power to unit.
2. Place radiation shield (if applicable) out of the way.
3. Replace all covers and panels.
