Potentiometer Adjustment - Floor stand 3 15
3.1 General
Fig. 5: Stand - Component Adjustment
Adjustment of the potentiometers in the different axes is always made according to the
following principle:
n Start the service interface. Select Tune up > Stands > Potentiometer Adjustment,
Floor Stand using the Select button and press Start.
n The axis to be adjusted is moved to a defined calibration position (use a spirit level or
tape measure).
 If there is a defective potentiometer, movements are possible only at slow speed.
n Decouple the potentiometer from the axis or loosen the set screw on the potentiome‐
ter shaft.
n The actual value for the active potentiometer is displayed on the DDIS in the “Stand
message line” (examination room). All potentiometer values are displayed in the serv‐
ice interface (control room).
If several potentiometer values change simultaneously (e.g. when potentiometer is

moved for table rotation, the camera/collimator tracks automatically), the AD value may
not appear on the DDIS under certain circumstances.
 Remedy:
Press the <Set> button: the first axis is selected in the "Potentiometer Adjustment, Floor
Stand” window (marked with "*"). Keep pressing the <Set> button until the correct axis
is selected.

10.18
16 3 Potentiometer Adjustment - Floor stand
n Adjust the potentiometer to the reference value in the table.

n Attach the potentiometer and tighten the set screw. Compare the reference value to
the actual value; be sure to adhere to specified tolerances.
n Perform the linearity adjustment.
n Perform adjustment of the end position.
n Perform the geometry adjustment.
n Move the axis over the entire movement range and check the values at the min. and
max. positions (see the table). When doing this, the software limit switches should
not engage.
 Look through the event log for AX_SCU_ERR_1100, _1001,_1105. This error is generated
if the potentiometer was not correctly adjusted.
When moving the axis, make sure that there is not a drop below or a rise above the A/D
values, because this will destroy the potentiometer.
Max. range of the potentiometer: 0...4096

Do not drop below or exceed the range: 50...4046.
This value is only a reference value and values significantly below this can appear for
some unit movements. If the AX_SCU_ERR_1100 error occurs (unit movement no longer
possible, the A/D value of the potentiometer is outside of the permissible range and can
also be destroyed in the mechanical end areas. Here, a readjustment of the particular po‐
tentiometer is required.
 The axes available depend on the construction. This includes table tilt (tilt, cradle) and
collimator/detector rotation on the floor stand.
 Once the potentiometer adjustment is completed, perform the linearity adjustment and
the end position adjustment.

n Remove the cover from the floor stand column ( Covers - Floor Stand / Page 105).
n To start the service interface, select Tune up > Stands > Potentiometer Adjustment,
Floor stand using the Select button and press Start .
n Move the axis to the 0 position and use a level to align it.
 If there is a defective potentiometer, only slow speed movements will be possible.
n Decouple the potentiometer from the axis and adjust it until the reference value in the
table is reached.

n Reattach the potentiometer. Compare the reference value to the actual value; be sure
to adhere to specified tolerances.

10.18
n Move the axis over the entire range of movement and check the event log for
AX_SCU_ERR_1101. This error is generated when the potentiometer has not been ad‐
justed correctly.
When moving the axes, make sure that the A/D values are neither fallen below or excee‐
ded, because this will destroy the potentiometer.

also be destroyed in the mechanical end areas. In this case, the potentiometer must be
readjusted.

7.1 General
Due to the mechanical tolerances and to different loads exerted by a 40 cm I.I., the end
limit switches can respond in the rotation, orbital and receptor axes. With adjustment of
the end position, the position of the software end limit switches is redefined and thus
moving to the limit switches is avoided. Aids are not required for this adjustment.
In the service screen, select Tune Up > Stand > End Position Adjustment usingSelect
and then press Start. The results of the last adjustment will be displayed in the Result
box. The individual axes can be selected by using the Set button.
The axis is displayed on the data display and the direction or position which the axis is to
be moved. When the end position is reached (software end limit), the axis must be
moved further by pressing the Override keys (simultaneously press the Prog_1 and
Prog_2 keys) until the hardware limit switches are reached.
The result of the last adjustment is displayed on the data display. The axis is saved by
pressing the <Store> key and there is a skip to the next axis.
After completing the adjustment, the <Save> key in the service interface must be press‐
ed.
 The adjustment must be saved in the service interface by pressing <Save>, otherwise the
entire adjustment will be lost.

1. Loosen the hex nut ( 1/Fig. 77 Page 93) and the set screw ( 2/Fig. 77 Page 93).
2. Move the eccentric ( 3/Fig. 77 Page 93) in the direction of the arrow and then check
the play:
 There should be no more play between the gear teeth of the two latches and
the pinion gear. Both the gear teeth must lay cleanly against the contact surfa‐
ces ( 1/Fig. 78 Page 93) of the pinion gear. This is true when the stand cannot
be rotated by hand, i.e. there is no discernible play.
The unlock button needs to release easily.
If the play cannot be eliminated with the one eccentric, then move the second
eccentric ( 6/Fig. 77 Page 93) in the direction of the arrow. For this purpose,
loosen the hex nut ( 4/Fig. 77 Page 93) and the set screw
( 5/Fig. 77 Page 93) beforehand.
3. Secure the eccentrics with the two set screws and reaffix the hex nuts.
4. Check the function again.

2. Place a loop on one corner of the detector (e.g. a cable tie) ( 7/Fig. 83 Page 96).
3. Use a spring balance ( Required Aids and Tools / Page 6) to measure the force that is
required to rotate the detector; to do this, hook the spring balance onto the loop and
measure the force at an angle of 45˚ ( Fig. 84 Page 96).
CARD \ 20x20 Detector:
 If a force of 63 N, +/- 15 N is required, no adjustment is needed!
 If the force is less than 48 N, an adjustment is needed!
Angio \ 30x40 Detector:
 If a force of 34 N, +/- 8.5 N is required, no adjustment is needed!
 If the force is less than 25.5 N, an adjustment is needed!

10.18
4. Tighten each of the adjustment screws for the slip clutch ( 1/Fig. 85 Page 97) 1/4
turn across from each other.
Fig. 85: Adjustment of detector rotation
5. Remeasure the force with a spring balance.

6. Repeat the routine as often as necessary until the particular required force for detec‐
tor rotation is reached.
7. Reinstall the cover panels.

10.4 Tensioning the Toothed Belt for Detector Rotation and the
Potentiometer
10.4.1 Prerequisite
 The belt for detector rotation and the potentiometer must be loose.
n To release the potentiometer belt, loosen the 3 screws.

Fig. 86: Potentiometer screws

10.18
n To release the detector rotation motor belt, loosen the 2 screws ( Fig. 87 Page 99)
and ( Fig. 88 Page 99), followed by the eccentric locking screw.

10.18
Fig. 89: Eccentric and screw
10.4.2 Tighten the motor belt to 330 (+-20) Hz

1. Turn the eccentric bearing with a 19 mm fork wrench ( Fig. 90 Page 101) until you
feel the motor belt is taut. Use your finger to feel the tension.
2. Lock the eccentric by tightening the screw while still holding the eccentric bearing in
position ( Fig. 91 Page 101). Note the direction of rotation by which the belt be‐
comes taut in case tensioning is required later.
3. Measure the belt tension with the belt tension measuring device (item no. 07355642)
( Fig. 92 Page 102). Direct the red light to the belt and vibrate the belt with a screw‐
driver. Repeat several times to obtain a more precise measurement result. When per‐
formed properly, all of the measurement values should be in the same range with a
few deviations.
4. The tension should be near the upper limit (350 Hz) because the belt loosens over
time.
5. If the tension is insufficient, loosen the eccentric locking screw while still holding the
eccentric bearing in position, and increase the tension on the belt using the fork
wrench.

10.18
6. Repeat steps 1 - 4 until the belt is suitably tensioned.

7. Tighten both motor screws (( Fig. 87 Page 99) and ( Fig. 88 Page 99)) with a tor‐
que of 10 Nm.

10.18
Fig. 92: Measuring the belt tension
10.4.3 Tighten the potentiometer to 150 (± 20) Hz

1. Tighten the toothed belt by simultaneously pressing the “tensioning device” (metal
plate with elongated hole1 /( Fig. 93 Page 103)) and the potentiometer 2 in the op‐
posite direction of the motor, and tighten the middle screw to secure it.
2. Measure the potentiometer belt tension with the measuring device
( Fig. 92 Page 102).
3. If the tension is within the acceptable range, tighten the two other screws of the po‐
tentiometer.
4. Measure the belt tension again as it can change when tightening the other screws.
5. If the tension is just a bit too high (<=200 Hz), try to adjust the tension by gently (but
not too gently) pressing the two sides of the belt together, ( Fig. 94 Page 104).

10.18
6. If the tension is still a bit too high or too low, loosen all three screws and repeat steps
1 - 5 until the tension is correct.

11.3 Ground wire test in accordance with IEC 62353

Before handing the system over to the customer, check the ground wire resistance as fol‐
lows:
Fig. 97: Ground wire measurement with fixed power line connection
In accordance with IEC 62353, the measured values must be compared with those from
the last maintenance or repair session, and then documented.
 If a significant difference is found or if the measured value exceeds 200 mOhm, it may
be necessary to initiate corrective measures.
Usually, the problem is that the ground wires are not connected, or incorrectly connec‐
ted.
n Power to the system must be switched off, and all cover panels must be in place.
n Measurement Ground wire test instrument, e.g. SECUTEST SIII ,
device: PROFITEST 0100S-II, Metriso G 500, Metraohm
413, Metraline RLO Check, MTECH*

value: (current: 10 A)
Exceptions: see the paragraph “Notes”.
n Measurement Measure between all conductible parts of the table that can be
procedure: touched and the ground wire bus rail in the power distributor (MD) in
the system control cabinet.
The measurement must be performed with (automatic or manual) re‐
verse poling of the measurement voltage or with current flow in both
directions.
Note: With the Secutest, there is a reverse poling button, while with
the Profitest, reverse poling takes place automatically.
11.3.1 Notes
11.3.1.1 Longitudinal rails

As a rule, the longitudinal rails for the DCS and the ceiling stand (if applicable) are not
connected to the potential equalization conductor and are therefore excepted from the
measurement.

n Because of the way the patient table is designed, the following parts cannot come in‐
to contact with voltage-conducting parts and are therefore excluded from the meas‐
urement ( Fig. 98 Page 108):
