2 Unpacking and moving the equipment

2.1 Unpacking instructions

The equipment is shipped in three crates: one for the upper part of the mechanical structure, one for the control box, the lower part of scanner unit and its accessories and one for the rotating part of scanner unit. Make sure that enough space is available to uncrate the equipment, and have easy access to the installation site.

WARNING: Never try to uncrate and stand up the equipment before unloading from the delivery truck.

2.1.1 Inspection

Thoroughly inspect the exterior of the crates for damages which might have occurred during shipment. Report any damage to delivering carrier and follow their instructions.

Each crate is equipped with a tilt watch indicator that turns from white to red if the package has tilted during shipment. Check the indicator before opening the crates.

2.1.2 UnpackingCarefully open the crates number 1 and 2 (mechanical structure of the column and the control box), with the help of a hammer and crowbar. Remove all four-side panels.Remove carefully the side locking with wood screws of the the crate number 3 (rotating part). Remove all the wood screws in all four-side panels. Remove the rotating part of the scanner with own wood support. Rebuild the crate (it will be necessary to mount the rotating part with the mechanical structure).Remove the Packing List and verify that all the listed items are included in the crates.Remove all the packing material and store the component boxes in a safe place. Carefully inspect all components inside the crate for signs of any shipping or internal damage. Do not attempt set-up, installation, or operation of any damaged system.

2.2 Disassembling and moving the equipment

Pay attention to do not scratch the coverings. Keep the screws and the washers in a safe place.Always proceed slowly and carefully while moving the materials from the unloading area to the installation site. Fast movements can damage both the scanner unit parts and the control box. Ensure the access way is as clean as possible.Pay particularly attention while negotiating doors and corners. Always verify the capacity and size of the elevator if you plan to use one to move the equipment.Once the equipment (scanner unit and control box) will be placed in the installation site make sure to place the console workstation 1.5 m away from the patient location (electrical safety regulations compliance).

3 Mounting the equipmentDefine the final position of the machine.

NOTE: To conduct installation and maintenance, the Newtom VG requires a minimum distance of 25 cm (10 inches) from the rear wall and 25 cm (10 inches) from the sidewalls.

Place horizontally the upper part of the scanner unit close to the device final position.

Fix the upper part of the scanner unit to the lower one.

Properly connect the wires from the upper part to M2 terminal.

WARNING: Wires and terminal numbering must coincide!

Fasten the earth cable from the upper part to the lower earth bar.

7.1 Fixing the device (optional)

The unit can be fastened to a wall via the provided brackets, with 4 bolts of a type suitable for the specific wall. See the figures for position of the mounting holes; (to fix the brackets to the machine use 4 M10x25 hex head screws with washers.

The maximum load that each fixation must be capable to withstand is not critical since the bolts mainly have the purpose to stabilize, but the load is mostly born by the legs.In case of installation in a environment subject to significant vibrations, the bolts could be fit with rubber vibration-dumping pads. Rubber bumpers can also be used underneath the legs.

7.2 Testing the equipmentOnce the equipment has been installed a few tests must be performed in order to verify the system functionality before calibrating the device.

Refer to “Service Manual”, Chapter 10.3 ”Rotating arm”, to check the correct functionality of the arm motor circuit. Before running the test verify that no objects, components and/or cables can interfere with the arm movements.

7.3 Calibrating the systemFor the calibration of the system during an installation refer “VG - Service Manual”, Chapter 11 - “Calibration” for geometric and quality calibration.

7.4 Finishing touches1. Clean the covers and the head support.2. Place the “NewTom VG” logo sticker on the machine.3. Put the X-Ray source identification stickers on the machine and check that all the other labels are

placed where recommended.4. Empty the error log file.5. Set the working directories with the correct paths (depends on the configuration of the system).

Arrange the cables that connect the machine and control box with the computer. Cable have to be sheltered using surface raceways or cable protectors, and should be placed away from walk areas in order to avoid people to trip over it.
