IMPORTANT! … X-Ray Protection

X-RAY EQUIPMENT IS DANGEROUS TO BOTH PATIENT AND OPERATOR UNLESS

MEASURES OF PROTECTION ARE STRICTLY OBSERVED

X-ray equipment if not properly used may cause injury. Accordingly, the instructions herein should be thoroughly read and understood before attempting to place this equipment in operation. We will be glad to assist and cooperate in placing this equipment in use. Although this apparatus is built to the highest safety standards and incorporates a high degree of protection against X-radiation other than the useful beam, no practical design of equipment can provide complete protection. No can any practical design compel the operator to take adequate precautions to prevent the possibility of any persons carelessly, unwisely, or unknowingly exposing themselves of others to X-radiation. It is important that everyone working with X-radiation be properly trained and take adequate steps to insure protection against injury. The manufacturer assumes that all operator and service personnel authorized to use, install, calibrate and maintain this equipment is cognizant of the danger of excessive exposure to X-radiation, is sufficiently trained and has the required knowledge for it. The equipment herin described is sold with the understanding that the manufacturer, its agents, and representatives are not liable for injury or damage which may result from exposure to X-radiation.Various protective material and devices are available. It is recommended that such materials and devices be used.

Section 1 Pre-Installation Prior to installation, perform any necessary floor preparations to guarantee the floor is structurally sound and level. Review the table specifications from page 15 of this manual and map out the position the table will be placed within the room. This method will ensure you are able to take full advantage of the full range of table top motion allowed.

Section 2 Introduction The 13-FBT-4WFT-E2 Float Top Table with Aluminum Extruded Rails has been designed for use in medical x-ray environments. This table provides cross and lateral movement of the table-top and lateral movement of a Grid Cabinet or Bucky. Magnetic locks are provided for cross and lateral table-top movement along with Bucky/Grid Cabinet movement. Each table has a name plate (Certification Label) which provides the serial number, date of manufacture and model identification number. This label is located on the back right-hand side of the table if you are facing the table. It is imperative you locate the certified label and have all the information available from that label when you contact your original installer for service or parts.

Notice: If unique situations or applications arise that are not covered in this manual, please call for assistance.

Section 4 Installation A. Uncrating And Inspection This table assembly has been specially packaged and shipped in a prefabricated Nefab crate to prevent damage in shipment. Upon receipt of the table, follow all instructions written on the shipping crate’s panels and on the contents.

1. Check for signs of damage to the table-top. (All assemblies are factory

inspected then bubble wrap is applied to prevent damage to the top during shipping or while uncrating.)

2. Check for loose screws, bolts or nuts. 3. Inspect for bent or damaged metal parts.

A. The floor in the installation area should be flat, stable and free from surface defects.

B. Place the table base in the exact operating position. Make sure that all levelers are in contact with the floor.

C. Wiring circuits must conform to local codes and be installed by qualified personnel.

D. Tables are pre-wired at the factory for magnetic lock controls, safety and performance standards.

TO PREVENT TABLETOP CROSS (TRANSVERSE), AND GRIDCABINET

MOVEMENT DURING SHIPPING: CROSS TRAVEL STRUCTURE AND GRID

CABINET SLIDES ARE PINNED AND STRAPPED. DO NOT REMOVE PIN

OR STRAP UNTIL THE TABLE HAS BEEN MOVED INTO ITS ASSIGNED

FLOOR SPACE, CONNECTED TO 24VAC POWER AND IS CONNECTED TO

EARTH GROUND.

THE TABLE BASE MUST BE BOLTED TO THE FLOOR WITH SIX

FASTENERS WHICH HAVE A MINIMUM 1275 POUNDS PULLOUT

STRENGTH FOR EACH BOLT. REFERENCE: ASTM STANDARD E 488.

B. Table Top Preparation

The Table Top, when shipped, is locked down by two shipping brackets. These brackets must be removed prior to operation. The table top panel is attached to the Table Frame by Velcro. Carefully separate the hooks and loops of the Velcro down the long side of one side of the table, then, slowly lift the panel top up and away from the Table Frame.

Next, remove and discard the two shipping brackets shown here in the photo.

Remove foam blocks to free the bucky/cabinet movement as shown.

After the brackets and foam blocks have been removed, check for full motion of table frame and receptor cabinet. If both are moving smoothly with no binding, replace the table top. C. Leveling Depending on the floor conditions, it may be necessary to level the table to the floor. The table is provided with four leveling feet for this purpose. Using a wrench, the levelers may be adjusted accordingly. (See Photo). Levelers are shipped in the fully retracted position.

E. Lock Location & Adjustment NOTE: You can easily break the banks of the longitudinal locks if you remove or replace the tabletop improperly. Check the guide supplied on your table top during shipment and follow proper procedure if adjustments are needed. After power has been applied to the table, verify lock operation. Locks are adjusted at the factory for optimum performance, however, if one or more of the locks require adjustment, complete the following steps: Longitudinal Locks: The longitudinal locks are located in the table support frame at the rear of the table. To gain access, remove Table Top Panel (see photos) and move the table top toward the rear of the table. The set screws which adjust the table are located underneath each lock assembly left and right. An Allen head wrench will be needed to adjust both locks. When adjustments are complete, replace the tabletop carefully.

Transverse Lock: The transverse lock is located on the left side of the table base, below the table top.

1) Remove the cover.

All locks on the table adjust in a similar fashion. Each magnetic lock can be raised or lowered by loosening the hex nut then turning the adjusting screw in or out for the appropriate height. The distance between the magnetic lock and the strip it is adhering to should only be a hairline distance. When power is placed on the lock, the flex plate on the magnetic lock will close the gap and stop movement of the area in which the lock is placed. After all adjustments have been made retighten each hex nut to secure the lock in the proper position. (See Photo).

Replace the covers.
