MOTORIZED MECHANICAL OPERATION
The Vertical Column and L-Arm are motorized. Observe them continuously while operating their motors
to avoid collision with people and equipment. (Note that the Super-C system does not use an L-Arm.)
If covers are removed, use extreme care when operating motorized features. Do not wear loose clothing
that may be caught by gears or chains. Keep hands and fingers clear of motorized equipment while the
motors are in operation.
TRAINED SERVICE PERSONNEL
Serious injury and property damage can result from incorrectly performed service procedures. Observe
all operating and safety procedures discussed in this document.
WARNING
Procedures should be performed by service personnel specifically trained by OEC
Medical Systems, Inc. to calibrate the Series 9600 System.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
WARNING
This system can generate lethal voltages. Observe safe electrical testing procedures
when performing periodic maintenance procedures.
WARNING
After taking X-rays, the high voltage cables can retain a lethal charge, even if you
power down the system. High voltages can arc several inches from their terminals if
the cables are removed from the connector wells. Use caution when disconnecting
high voltage cables even when the power is turned OFF. If you remove these
connections, immediately discharge their contacts against the high voltage tank case
(ground).
WARNING
Use caution when working near the batteries and their connections. Remove metal
rings and watchbands that may inadvertently come in contact with the battery
terminals. Severe skin burns could result if such metal articles were shorted across
the battery terminals.
X-RADIATION EXPOSURE
The X-ray tube assembly produces X-radiation when energized. Never operate this device without X-ray
shielding in place. Use lead shielding and draping to protect personnel.
WARNING
Lead aprons, radiation monitors and appropriate radiation shields must be utilized
by personnel while performing tests. Living human anatomy should never be used
as a phantom or demonstration aid.
CAUTION
Many of the PCB's in this system contain components which are sensitive to Electro-
Static Discharge (ESD). Observe ESD safety procedures.
