AUTOMATIC CEILING SUSPENSION WITH RAD WALL STAND DR
Depending on the DR Detector tilting angle:
G
The Receptor can be the Master in all cases, even when it is tilted.
The Suspension can move UP/DOWN or in Alpha Axis to get the
X-ray tube aligned.
G
The Ceiling Suspension is the Master just when the Receptor is
at 0
o
or at 90
o
. If it is in a different angle, the Ceiling Suspension
can be just the Slave. The Wall Stand is the Slave and it can just
move UP/DOWN.
Proceed as indicated for manually operated Auto-tracking:
1. Press the AUTO-TRACKING control of the Console (or Remote Control
if available) to activate the function. The background is in yellow when
activated.
2. Move manually the Master equipment (refer to Illustration 4-24. ):
a. The Ceiling Suspension is the Master and is moved vertically. The
DR Detector must be at 0
o.
Press and hold the Vertical Brake
button of the Control Console and move UP/DOWN the X-ray
Tube. The DR Detector moves in the same direction. The SID
remains constant. It is not valid when the Receptor is tilted at 90
o
.
b. The Ceiling Suspension is the Master and is moved in the Alpha
Axis. Press and hold the Alpha Brake Button and angle the X-ray
Tube. The DR Detector tracks its movement vertically, so the SID
is modified.
c. The RAD Wall Stand DR is the Master and is moved vertically. The
DR Detector can be tilted at any angle or in vertical position at 0
o
.
Press and hold the Vertical Lock or step on the UP/DOWN Pedal
of the Footswitch. The Ceiling Suspension tracks its movement in
the same direction in all cases. The SID remains constant.
d. The RAD Wall Stand DR is the Master and changes its tilting
angle. The Ceiling Suspension tracks its movement vertically and
changes its angle to get aligned with it, so the SID remains
constant.
3. Keep pressing the brake or pedal until the Slave equipment arrives to the
final position and is aligned with the Master Equipment.
4. In case the brake button or pedal is released before finishing the
Auto-tracking movement, it gets aborted. Once the brake button or pedal
is pressed again, the Slave equipment gets aligned with the Master
equipment at the default SID.
