2.0 System Power Up
2.1 Pre-Power Up Checks
Perform these pre-power up checks before applying power to the system:
1. Verify that all three Emergency OFF switches are reset (four switches if control panel is
remotely installed) by turning them clockwise.
2. Check the overall integrity of the mammography unit for open or loose panels, missing
hardware, and signs of damage.
3. Inspect the radiation shield for chips, cracks, breaks, and secure attachment.
4. Be sure the room is clear of obstructions.
5. Correct all discrepancies before applying power.
2.2 Power Up Sequence
Apply power to the system as follows:
Notes… Always perform the pre-power on checks detailed previously before
applying power to the unit.
Always correct discrepancies before turning the unit on and using it
clinically.
1. If a film labeling device is installed, apply power to the device (AutoFilm I.D.). The Auto-
Film I.D. has a “rocker” type power switch.
2. 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.
3. The Control Panel will display a message informing the user that internal checks are
being performed.
4. Verify that the Control Panel (Figure 3-1, Item 9) displays the Run Mode screen after
power up.
5. 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.
