DR detector cable and control unit

The DR detector cable connects the DR detector to the DR Detector control

unit.
The DR detector control unit connects the DR detector to the mains power

using a power supply and to the workstation.
Position all components appropriately to prevent that the DR detector cable or

the power cable are unintendedly disconnected.
