Dear Valued Customer,
Congratulations on your recent purchase of a Cemarline Patient Radiation Therapy Laser Alignment
System!
This product is the result of years of continuous quality improvement of laser technologies. If, after
carefully reading this manual, you have any questions, please contact your distributor or our Customer
Service department.
1 Introduction
This Installation and User’s Guide includes all the information you need to safely and
efficiently install, operate and maintain your Laser Alignment System. This guide is only
intended for use with Cemarline MAXX-700 Remote Positioning Lasers, models MAXX-700-
CHG (Crosshair) and MAXX-701-SAG (Sagittal (straight line)).
1.1 Intended Use
These lasers are intended to be used for aligning patients to medical diagnostic imaging
and radiation therapy equipment which utilizes ionizing radiation. They are intended to be
used in medical clinic or hospital settings by trained medical staff. The lasers are not
designed to be used around flammable anesthetics, which present a risk of explosion or fire.
The lasers are not intended to be used in a corrosive environment. No other uses are
intended or implied.
1.2 Safety
Signal words are used according to international standards. The meanings of these signal
words are:
• DANGER - Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury. This signal word is to be limited to the most
extreme situations.
• WARNING - Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
• CAUTION - Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may
result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe
practices. Permitted for property damage only accidents.
1.2.1 Laser Safety
WARNING - Risk of incorrect diagnosis or treatment. Isocenter of alignment lasers must
coincide with isocenter of diagnostic or treatment equipment. Testing the alignment of
lasers to isocenter of diagnostic or treatment equipment is based on hospital procedures.
Page 6 MAXX Position Laser Systems Manual Rev. 3.3.3 January-2016
Newly installed equipment can possibly shift as building walls and floor settle and as
building materials dry out. Realign lasers to isocenter before use, if they have moved.
CAUTION - Laser light, risk of eye damage.
- To prevent eye damage, do not stare into laser beam and do not allow patients to
stare into laser beam. The normal blink reflex will prevent eye damage. If a patient
is unable to blink normally the laser operator must prevent laser from shining in
patient's eye. Laser is a class II laser.
- Replace laser diode only with assembly provided by Cemarline to ensure that laser
power levels do not exceed class II limits.

Page 15 MAXX Position Laser Systems Manual Rev. 3.3.3 January-2016
3 Remote Control Operation
Figure 3-1 Main page
The Main page (Figure 3-1) is the entry point to all the
operations on the remote control.
The remote control and all the laser units in the same
room share a network ID. If multiple rooms are
equipped with MAXX-700 Laser Systems, each room
has a unique network ID. The network ID of each
remote control is displayed at the bottom of the
screen. For example, the remote control shown in
Figure 3-1 has a network ID of 10.
There are three categories of operations: laser unit operations, alignment verification and
remote control settings.
- Laser unit operations
The remote control must link to a laser unit via wireless communication protocol
(Zigbee) before sending any commands to it. Please refer to Section 3.2 on Page 17 to
learn how to use the remote control to link to a unit and perform various operations on
it.
- Alignment verification
If Unit #1 and Unit #2 are properly installed and aligned, you can use alignment
verification to check whether the two units are aligned, as a daily routine, and re-align
them automatically. Please refer to Section 3.3 on Page 31 for more details.
- Remote control settings
You may also check status and update various configurations of the remote control itself.
Section 3.4 on Page 37 provides more details in this group.
Page 16 MAXX Position Laser Systems Manual Rev. 3.3.3 January-2016
3.1 General use of remote control
There are some common elements in multiple pages.
Name Icons and Descriptions
Navigation icons
Located at the upper left corner of the screen, they help users to quickly navigate
to certain pages.
- Go to the previous page.
- Go to the next page, available on laser line positioning pages.
- Go to the parent page.
Unit number box
Appears at the upper right corner of the screen if there is no status bar on the page,
or adjacent to status bar if there is one. It displays the current laser unit number.
- The current unit is Unit #1.
Status bar
Appears at the upper right corner of the screen and indicates status of operation.
- The remote control and the laser units are idle. You may start any operation
available by clicking the corresponding icon on the screen.
- The designated operation is in process.
IMPORTANT: please DO NOT touch the screen while the remote is in
this state. If it lingers in this state much longer than the estimated time,
please restart the remote control. You can find the estimated time for each
laser-involved operation in paragraphs starting with .
- The designated operation has been successfully completed.
- The designated operation has failed or there has been communication
problem. You may repeat the previous operation or check the communication.
Please refer to Section 5.1 “Operation Failure” on Page 47 for details on
troubleshooting.
Page 17 MAXX Position Laser Systems Manual Rev. 3.3.3 January-2016
3.2 Laser unit operations
3.2.1 Linking and status checking
Before operating any laser unit, the remote control must check communication and other
status of laser units.
Figure 3-2 Checking status of laser units
Click the Link icon on the Main page, and the remote
control will try to link to each unit with the same PAN ID in
the Zigbee network.
As shown in Figure 3-2, an hourglass image appears above
the Link icon, indicating that linking and status checking is in
process. When the process is finished, the remote control
opens the Unit Selection page (Figure 3-3).
The remote control retrieves the following information from laser units:
- Wireless connection status of each unit
- Laser power status of each unit
- Alignment tolerance setting of Unit #1 and Unit #2
Upon receiving the above information, the remote control updates status of UI controls on
relevant pages.
For every unit linked to the remote control, the time to finish linking and status
checking increases by about one second. There are four laser units in a fully installed
MAXX-700 Hospital Laser System. If all four units are installed and powered on in the
room, it takes about four seconds to complete the communication and status checking
procedure. Longer delay indicates some units cannot be properly linked.
3.2.1.1 Unit Status
Figure 3-3 shows the Unit Selection page when all the regular units are connected and all the
lasers are beaming. The number on the Unit Selection icon matches the unit number
displayed on the front of the corresponding unit.
Note: Unit #5 is the spare unit available with each system. Please refer to Section 4 “Spare
Unit” on Page 43 for details regarding the installation and usage of Unit #5.
Page 18 MAXX Position Laser Systems Manual Rev. 3.3.3 January-2016
Figure 3-3 Unit Selection page
Figure 3-4 shows that Unit Selection icons can show different states of network connection
and room configuration of the corresponding unit.
Figure 3-4 Unit Selection icons show different
states of units
The background color of the icon indicates whether the unit is
linked.
: The corresponding unit is linked. The icon is enabled and can
be clicked.
: The corresponding unit is not linked. The icon is disabled
and cannot be clicked.
: The corresponding unit is configured off by Room
Configuration function, and it does not accept any commands from
the remote control. Please refer to Section 3.4.4 “Room
Configuration” on Page 41 for details.
3.2.1.2 Laser Power Status and Laser Power Switches
Other than unit status, the Unit Selection page also shows laser power status of each
linked unit via Laser Power Indicator in front of the corresponding Unit Selection icon.
- : Laser is beaming on this unit.
- : Laser is turned off on this unit.
It is possible to turn on or off laser power on all linked units at the same time, instead of
changing their power status one by one. Instructions accompanying Figure 3-5 and Figure 3-6
provide more details.

ALL the linked units. Available if at least one unit has its laser
power on.
: Power-on All Lasers icon - To switch on laser power on
ALL the linked units. Available if at least one unit has its laser
power off.
In Figure 3-5, lasers on Unit #1 and Unit #2 are beaming, while
the other two lasers are not. In this case, you may turn on all
lasers by clicking , or turn off all lasers by clicking .
Figure 3-6 All laser beams are turned off
Figure 3-6 shows the Unit Selection page when all laser beams
are turned off. The status bar becomes green when the remote
control receives positive replies from all linked units.
If you need to adjust laser power individually, please refer to
Section 0 on Page 21.
The time needed to process laser power switching commands depends on the number of
linked units. Generally, it increases by one second per unit. If all four units are linked, it
takes within four seconds to complete the laser power switching operation. The status bar
becomes red if the remote control fails to receive positive reply from any of the linked units
within five seconds.
3.2.1.3 Unit Selection
Click an enabled Unit Selection icon to select the corresponding unit. The remote control
will open the Function Selection page (Figure 3-7) immediately. Now you can send control
commands to the selected unit.
The recommended order of unit operation is: 1->2->3->4, if applicable.
Page 20 MAXX Position Laser Systems Manual Rev. 3.3.3 January-2016
3.2.2 Function Selection
The Function Selection page (Figure 3-7) is the entry point to all the laser control functions,
except alignment checking and re-alignment function.
There are five function icons available for all the units on the Function Selection page.
Alignment settings function is only available for Unit #1 and Unit #2 when both units are
connected to the remote control.
Figure 3-7 Function Selection page for Unit #1 and Unit #2
: Laser power adjustment (Section 3.2.2.1, Page 21)
: Focus adjustment (Section 3.2.2.2, Page 22)
: Factory settings (Section 3.2.2.3, Page 23)
: Line positioning – continuous (Section 3.2.2.4.1, Page 27)
: Line positioning – stepping (Section 3.2.2.4.2, Page 27)
: Alignment settings (Section 3.2.2.5, Page 28)
There are also two navigation icons on the Function Selection page.
- Go to the Main page (Figure 3-1, Page 15) directly. This provides a quick jump to
other functions of remote control.
- Update unit status and go to the Unit Selection page (Figure 3-3) directly. This
ensures that the connection status and laser power status of units are always
updated before the opening the Unit Selection page. Please note that the same
estimated delay for linking and status checking applies here as in Section 3.2.1 on
Page 17.
It is RECOMMENDED to follow the order of the subsequent sections to complete the initial
installation and alignment procedure.
Page 21 MAXX Position Laser Systems Manual Rev. 3.3.3 January-2016
3.2.2.1 Laser Power Adjustment
The first step of initial system setup is to use this function to adjust the laser brightness to
the desired level.
Figure 3-8 Laser Power Adjustment page
: Power-down icon – to lower laser brightness
: Power-up icon – to increase laser brightness
: Power-off icon – to turn off laser beam of the current unit
The current level of laser beam power is displayed in the power
grid at the bottom of Laser Power Adjustment page. The number of
green cells in the power grid corresponds to the power level. For
example, the power level of Unit #1 is 5 in Figure 3-8.
Figure 3-9 Laser power has been increased
Figure 3-9 shows the result of one click on power-up icon ( ).
The command has been completed without problems( ) and
the power grid shows six green cells, indicating power level has
been increased to six now. If the current power level reaches the
upper limit(12), the Power-up icon will be hidden.
Similarly, the Power-down icon( ) will lower the laser power
level. If the current power level reaches the lower limit (1), the
Power-down icon will be hidden.
Intelligent ambient light sensing
The laser power level is saved at the processor board inside the laser unit automatically
while being adjusted and will be applied accordingly when ambient light changes are
detected by the laser unit. If the ambient light becomes brighter or darker, the laser
power will be increased or decreased automatically according to the previously saved
power setting. The laser power settings are persistent at power cycle.
Please note that the same power level setting may result in slightly different levels of laser
brightness on different laser modules.
Sometimes the alignment procedure requires one or more laser beams to be turned off
individually. This can be achieved by using Power-on ( ) and Power-off ( ) icons.
If the laser is currently beaming, the Power-off icon and power level adjustment icons are
available, as shown in Figure 3-8.
Click Power-off icon to turn off the laser, and the power level adjustment icons will be
hidden and Power-off icon will become Power-on icon as shown in Figure 3-10.
Page 22 MAXX Position Laser Systems Manual Rev. 3.3.3 January-2016
Figure 3-10 Laser Power has been turned off
: Power-on icon – to turn on laser beam of this unit
Click Power-on icon to turn on laser beam, and the remote
control screen will return to Figure 3-8.
A single laser power adjustment operation or laser power switch operation normally
finishes within three seconds.
3.2.2.2 Line Focus Adjustment
The laser beam should be finely focused before laser line position is adjusted. The functions
provided on this page enable fast and fine focus adjustments.
Figure 3-11 Focus adjustment page
: Stepping movement of focus motor. The motor moves
one step at each click on the corresponding icon. Please note that
there will be no motor movement if you click the stepping icons
more than twice in a second.
: Continuous movement of focus motor. The motor starts
moving continuously once the corresponding icon is pressed and
stops moving when the icon is released. Please note that there will
be no motor movement if you tap on the continuous icons quickly.
It is RECOMMENDED to use continuous focus adjustment functions to reduce laser line
thickness rapidly until the thinnest point has passed. Then use stepping adjustment in
reverse direction to reach the thinnest point.
A single stepping operation should be completed within two seconds. For the continuous
operation, there is a one-second delay from the moment you press the icon to the moment
the motor actually starts to move. Similarly, there is a one-second delay from the moment
you release the icon to the moment when the motor actually stops moving and another one-
second delay until the remote control receives the feedback from the laser. Due to the
nature of wireless communication, occasionally you may observe slightly greater than
typical delays stated above. You may assume that communication is unstable if any of the
delays are longer than five seconds.
Page 23 MAXX Position Laser Systems Manual Rev. 3.3.3 January-2016
These typical delays also apply to Laser Line Positioning commands introduced in Section
3.2.2.4 “Laser Line Positioning” on Page 24.
3.2.2.3 Factory Settings
At any time, you can use this function to bring a selected motor back to its factory setting
position, which is the mechanical center. This operation is also called homing.
It is RECOMMENDED to home all motors applicable before installation and alignment of
MAXX-700 system.
Homing is applicable to horizontal motor, vertical motor, roll motor, and pitch motor on
MAXX-700-CHG (Crosshair) units, as shown in Figure 3-12, and to horizontal motor and roll
motor on MAXX-701-SAG (Sagittal) units, as shown in Figure 3-13.

Units #1, #2, and #3 are crosshair units.
Figure 3-13 Factory Settings page - sagittal
A sagittal unit only generates a vertical straight line, so there is no
vertical motor or pitch motor on the unit.
Unit #4 is always a sagittal unit.
Click one of the Homing icons available to send Homing command to the selected unit.
Figure 3-14 shows the screenshot of remote control while the horizontal motor of Unit #1 is
being homed.
Page 24 MAXX Position Laser Systems Manual Rev. 3.3.3 January-2016
Figure 3-14 Horizontal motor is being homed
In addition to the status bar being yellow, the “Homing in process”
picture label in front of the selected Homing icon indicates that
this motor is currently moving to its mechanical center position.
Figure 3-15 Horizontal Motor is homed
Once the motor is successfully homed, the “Homing done” picture
label appears in front of the selected Homing icon (Figure
3-15). And the status bar becomes green.
Depending on the motor’s position before being homed, this operation may take from 2
seconds to 45 seconds to complete. The status bar becomes red, this signals a timeout if the
remote control does not receive homing result within 45 seconds. In this situation you may
check link status and repeat the operation.
If the laser line position is adjusted by other commands on other pages, the “Homing done”
picture label will be removed from the front of the corresponding Homing icon.
Please note that the homing status is not persistent at power cycle, i.e., the remote control
always assumes it has no knowledge of homing status of any laser unit at power up.
3.2.2.4 Laser Line Positioning
Similar to laser focus adjusting functions, there are two groups of laser line positioning
functions: continuous movements and stepping movements .
It is RECOMMENDED to use continuous movement functions to move laser lines as close
as possible to the desired position. Then use stepping movement functions to accurately
position the laser lines.
All the moving directions are from the point of view of a beaming laser. The operators
should look at the laser cross beamed by a MAXX-700-CHG (Crosshair) unit or the straight
Page 25 MAXX Position Laser Systems Manual Rev. 3.3.3 January-2016
line beamed by a MAXX-701-SAG (Sagittal) unit on the laser’s side. Please refer to Table 3-1
if you need more information on the laser line positioning functions. For MAXX-701-SAG
units, please ignore all the horizontal line-related illustrations in the table.
There are two motors available for horizontal line positioning: vertical motor and pitch
motor. Generally the operators should use the pitch motor functions to quickly move the
horizontal line to the proximity of destination, and then use vertical motor functions to
accurately position the horizontal line.
Similarly you may use either horizontal motor or roll motor to position the vertical line. The
roll motor functions enable quick movement of the vertical line towards the proximity of
destination. And the horizontal motor functions can be used to accurately move the line to
its final position.
Beam rotation motor functions are used to align two facing laser beams or to align one laser
beam to a given reference line.
Please refer to Section 3.2.2.2 “Line Focus Adjustment” on Page 22 for more information
on typical delays for stepping movement commands and continuous movement commands.

There is no continuous movement of beam rotation motor, because
it is not necessary to adjust beam rotation dramatically.
Please note that there will be no motor movement if you tap on the
continuous icons quickly.
Figure 3-17 Continuous movement - roll, pitch for crosshair lasers
Press and hold a Continuous Movement icon and the selected
motor starts moving towards the designated direction while the
icon is being pressed. The status bar becomes yellow, indicating
the motor is moving.
Release the icon, and the motor stops moving almost immediately.
The status bar turns green, indicating the motor has stopped
moving.
If the status bar becomes red before the icon is released, the
transmission of “Start moving” command has failed. If the status
bar becomes red after the icon is released, the transmission of
“Stop moving” command or feedback from laser has failed.

Please note that there will be no motor movement if you click the
stepping icons more than twice in a second.
Page 28 MAXX Position Laser Systems Manual Rev. 3.3.3 January-2016
Figure 3-19 Stepping movement - roll, pitch and beam rotation motors for crosshair lasers
Click a Stepping Movement icon, and the selected motor moves
towards the designated direction one step at a time.
The status bar becomes yellow while remote control is waiting for
feedback from laser. It becomes green when positive feedback is
received. It becomes red when negative feedback is received or the
operation has timed out.
For horizontal and vertical motors, the selected motor drives
corresponding laser line to move a distance in the range of 0.1 to
0.3 millimeters per step, depending on selection of motor and
direction.
3.2.2.5 Alignment Settings
If Unit #1 and Unit #2 are properly installed and aligned to each other, you can save the
current positions of laser lines and use them in Alignment Verification Function (Section
3.2 , Page 31).
There are two ways to open the Alignment Settings page (Figure 3-20).
- Click Alignment Settings icon on Function Selection page (Figure 3-7, Page 20);
- Click Alignment Settings icon on Alignment Verification page (Figure 3-26,
Page32).
On both of the above pages, the Alignment Settings icon is only available when unit #1
and unit #2 are both connected and beaming.
3.2.2.5.1 Alignment Tolerance Levels
Alignment tolerance range refers to a small range close to the saved center position on the
sensor. It determines the accuracy of alignment checking and re-alignment.
We define the saved center position as zero position. The alignment checking and re-
alignment procedure will check how much the laser line is off from the zero position. If it is
out of the tolerance range, the laser line is misaligned. Otherwise, it is regarded as aligned,
even if the laser line is several pixels off the zero position.
There are four alignment tolerance levels defined for alignment checking and re-alignment
of Unit #1 and Unit #2. The tolerance range values and the corresponding icons are given in
Table 3-2.
It is the user’s decision to select a proper tolerance level. It takes longer to re-align the
units if the tolerance level is smaller, but the alignment checking and re-alignment result
will be more accurate.
Page 29 MAXX Position Laser Systems Manual Rev. 3.3.3 January-2016
Table 3-2 Alignment tolerance levels
Tolerance level Alignment accuracy Tolerance value (pixels) Tolerance value (mm)
TL1 ± 0.1 mm 7 0.1
TL2 ± 0.2 mm 14 0.2
TL3 ± 0.4 mm 28 0.4
TL4 ± 0.8 mm 56 0.8
Please follow the instructions below to verify and set up the desired tolerance level.
Figure 3-20 Alignment Settings page
: Tolerance Level Selection icons
The tolerance value of the selected tolerance level is shown
between the two Tolerance Level Selection icons. In Figure 3-20,
the tolerance value is 0.2 mm.
If Unit #1 and Unit #2 do not have the same tolerance level setting,
no tolerance level icon will be highlighted.
Figure 3-21 Tolerance level is changed
Click to select a smaller tolerance value, or click to
select a larger tolerance value. In Figure 3-21, TL1 is selected.
The “Save changes” icon only appears if the new tolerance
level is different from the current level.
Click to save the new tolerance level to BOTH units. As usual,
a successful save results in a green status bar.
It usually takes about three seconds from the moment when the “Save changes” icon is
clicked to the moment when a positive reply is received at remote control and the status bar
becomes green. The status bar turns red if the remote control has failed to send the
command, or has not received reply from the laser within five seconds, or has received a
negative reply.
3.2.2.5.2 Saving center positions
The ambient light in the room must be dimmed for all the operations in this section, in
order to ensure the correctness of center position saving and alignment verification later.
Also make sure that no laser lines are reflected onto the sensor windows of Unit #1 and
Unit #2.
Page 30 MAXX Position Laser Systems Manual Rev. 3.3.3 January-2016
Since Unit #1 and Unit #2 store the center position for each other, please make sure that
the laser lines from Unit # 1 beam inside the sensor windows on Unit #2, and vice versa.
Figure 3-22 Ready to save centers
- Save Centers: save current horizontal and vertical positions
of the other unit as center positions
Once the laser positions and tolerance level settings have been
verified, click the Save centers icon to save the current
positions as the center positions.
This operation sends “Save centers” command to BOTH Unit #1
and Unit #2. As usual, a successful save results in a green status
bar.
It usually takes about three seconds from the moment the “Save centers” icon is clicked
to a positive reply is received at remote control and the status bar becomes green. The
status bar turns red if the remote control has failed to send the command, or has not
received reply from the laser within five seconds, or has received a negative reply.
3.2.2.5.3 Fast navigation to other pages
The remote control can navigate to other relevant pages directly from Alignment Settings
page (Figure 3-20).
- Go to Function Selection page (Figure 3-7, Page 20) of Unit #1 or Unit #2, if
you need to do more laser line positioning adjustment on these two units. This
provides a fast switch to the adjustment functions of Unit #1 and Unit #2.
- Go to Alignment Verification page (Figure 3-26, on Page 32), if you need to check
alignment status.
Page 31 MAXX Position Laser Systems Manual Rev. 3.3.3 January-2016
3.3 Alignment Verification
This function can be used as a daily routine to verify if Unit #1 and Unit #2 are vertically
and horizontally aligned after the initial installation and alignment have been completed.
Figure 3-23 Opening Alignment Verification
page
Click the Alignment Verification icon on the Main page,
and the remote control will check status of Unit #1 and Unit #2.
As shown in Figure 3-23, an hourglass image appears above the
Alignment Verification icon, indicating that linking and status
checking on Unit#1 and Unit #2 is in process.
If both units are linked and beaming, the remote control opens the
Alignment Verification page (Figure 3-26). Please read Section
3.3.1 for instruction on how to perform alignment verification.
Figure 3-24 Alignment verification disabled -
case 1
Figure 3-24 and Figure 3-25 illustrates two cases when
alignment verification function is disabled.
In the case of Figure 3-24, the Alignment Verification icon is
disabled because Unit #2 is not linked and the alignment
verification cannot be done.
Figure 3-25 Alignment verification disabled -
case 2
In the case of Figure 3-25, the Alignment Verification icon is
disabled because the laser on Unit #1 is not beaming and the
alignment verification cannot be done.
The status checking procedure should be completed in about two seconds.
3.3.1 Alignment checking
IMPORTATNT: during the entire procedure of alignment verification and re-alignment, the
room lights must be dimmed to the same level as when the center positions are saved. Also
make sure that no laser lines are reflected onto the sensor windows of Unit #1 and Unit #2.
Page 32 MAXX Position Laser Systems Manual Rev. 3.3.3 January-2016
Figure 3-26 Alignment Verification page
Click the Check Alignment icon on the Alignment
Verification page (Figure 3-26) to send “Check Alignment”
command to both units at the same time. The status bar will be
yellow while the operation is in process.
The alignment checking procedure should be finished within three seconds.
3.3.2 Alignment checking results
When the remote control successfully receives feedback from the units, the Alignment
Verification page shows the checking results.
Table 3-3 summarizes the information presented on the Alignment Verification page as
result of “Check Alignment” command.

Some notes on offset values in Offset Boxes:
• The offset values are displayed in the format of
<Offset value> / <Tolerance value>,
Where <Tolerance value> is determined by tolerance level set up in Alignment
Settings page. Please refer to Section 3.2.2.5.1 on Page 28.
• The displayed offset values are a close estimate of how much the laser beams are
deviated from the saved positions measured at the sensor windows.
• Offset values are available in two measurement units: in pixels or in millimeters.
• Each pixel equals 14 micrometers.
• The two measurements can be easily converted to each other by clicking the Convert
Measurement Icon ( ) on top of the Alignment Verification page. In Figure 3-27, all
offset values are displayed in pixels. After conversion, all offset values are displayed
in millimeters, as shown in Figure 3-28.
Figure 3-27 Offset values in pixels
Figure 3-28 Offset values in millimeters
Please note that pixel values are more precise than millimeter values, as those
numbers are direct readings from sensors while millimeter values are calculated
from the pixel values. However, millimeter values provide a more straightforward
idea on how big the offsets are. In any case, the computational difference is
negligible.
Figure 3-29, Figure 3-30, and Figure 3-31 show three cases of possible results of alignment
checking.
Page 34 MAXX Position Laser Systems Manual Rev. 3.3.3 January-2016
Case 1 The horizontal and vertical lines from both Unit #1 and Unit #2 are aligned.
Figure 3-29 Alignment verification - both units are
aligned
All offsets are displayed in green.
The “Alignment Done” image is in place of the Alignment
Verification icon at the center of the page.
There is no need of further actions on this page.
Case 2 At least one of the two units is misaligned, i.e. at least one laser line is not at
center.
Figure 3-30 Alignment verification - Unit #1 is out
of alignment
- Auto-alignment icon, disabled
The unit number on the icon of the misaligned unit becomes red,
as on Unit #1 icon in Figure 3-30.
The Offset Box displays <offset value>/<tolerance value> in red.
The Auto-alignment icon is shown at the center of the page but it
is disabled because no unit is selected yet.
In this case, please refer to Section 3.3.3 on Page 35 for
instructions on how to start auto-alignment procedure.
Case 3 The alignment verification has failed.
Figure 3-31 Alignment verification has failed
The status bar is red in this case.
You may check the communication status and do the alignment
checking again.
Page 35 MAXX Position Laser Systems Manual Rev. 3.3.3 January-2016
3.3.3 Automatic re-alignment
Click one of the unit icons to select the unit to be re-aligned. Figure 3-32 and Figure 3-33 show
the procedure of re-alignment one unit. If there is more than one unit misaligned, re-align
one unit after another. The two units cannot be re-aligned at the same time.
Figure 3-32 Unit #1 is to be aligned
: Auto-alignment icon, enabled
In Figure 3-32, Unit #1 is selected, and the background color of
the icon has been darkened. Now the Auto-alignment icon is
enabled. Click it to start automatic re-aligning operation.
The two units communicate to each other directly during auto-
alignment. In the example of Figure 3-32, Unit #2 repeatedly
checks laser line positions for Unit #1 and instructs Unit #1 to
move the lines back to centers. When the offsets are within
tolerance range, Unit #2 reports to the remote control that Unit #1
has been aligned.
Figure 3-33 Unit #1 has been re-aligned
The remote control updates the offsets and paints status bar green
(Figure 3-33), if the operation is successful. The “Alignment
Done” image is in place of the Alignment Verification icon at the
center of the page.
The re-alignment of Unit #1 is finished.
If the status bar becomes red, the operation has failed. In this
case, you may check communication status of the units. If
connection is OK, start the auto-alignment procedure again.
The time to finish auto-alignment varies from a few seconds to close to one minute,
depending on the initial misalignment offsets. If the remote control does not receive auto-
alignment results in 60 seconds, it reports a timeout by changing status bar to red. If a unit
cannot be aligned in 50 moves, including both fast moves and stepping moves, the other
unit will report timeout to the remote control. In any case, try the auto-alignment process
again.
3.3.4 Fast navigation to other pages
The remote control can navigate to other relevant pages directly from Alignment
Verification page.
- : Go back to the Main page (Figure 3-1 on Page 15).
- : Go to Alignment Settings page (Figure 3-20 on Page 29). This is useful when you
want to change alignment settings before the next alignment checking operation.
Page 36 MAXX Position Laser Systems Manual Rev. 3.3.3 January-2016
Please note that changing alignment settings may result in different alignment
status.
For example, Unit #1 has been aligned with tolerance level TL4 in Figure 3-33. Then
the operator goes to Alignment Settings page and changes the tolerance level to TL1,
as shown in Figure 3-34. Now Unit #1 becomes misaligned again with new tolerance
level, as shown in Figure 3-35. Figure 3-36 shows the result of re-alignment. Obviously,
the unit has been re-aligned with much higher level of accuracy.

3.4 Remote Control Settings
Click the Remote Control Settings icon on the Main page, and the remote control will
open the Remote Control Settings page (Figure 3-37) immediately.
Figure 3-37 Remote Control Settings
Revision of remote control - the latest revision of remote control is 3.3.3. Please make sure
that your remote control and all the documents have the same revision number.
Battery capacity indication - the estimated battery capacity in percentage. Please refer to
Section 3.4.1 “Battery capacity indication” for more information.
Function icons - There are three categories of remote control-oriented settings.
3.4.1 Battery capacity indication
The remote control is a battery-powered hand-held device. It is very important to put your
remote control back to the charger whenever possible to avoid service disruption.
The battery capacity indication on the upper right corner of the Remote Control Settings
page informs users how much capacity is remaining in the battery. Both the battery
capacity percentage and the battery image are updated every 30 seconds.
- : The battery image is filled with green blocks if the capacity is greater
than 25%.
- : The last remaining block turns yellow if the capacity is between 20%
and 25%.
- : The last remaining block turns red if the capacity is below 20%.
In addition, the Low Battery Warning, as shown in Figure 3-38, starts popping up every five
seconds if the battery capacity is below 20%. All the regular operations are not affected as
To Main page
Revision of remote control
Battery capacity indication
Function icons
Page 38 MAXX Position Laser Systems Manual Rev. 3.3.3 January-2016
long as the icons are not blocked by the popup. You may click the Close Popup icon to
dismiss the warning, or wait five seconds until it disappears automatically.
Figure 3-38 Low Battery Warning popup
We strongly suggest that you put the remote control to a charger immediately as soon as
the first Low Battery Warning shows up. If you ignore the warning and continue using the
remote control without charging, the remote control will enter sleep mode automatically as
soon as the remaining capacity is below 15%.
3.4.2 Power saving settings
It is very important to minimize power consumption in order to maximize operation time of
the remote control. We provide two power saving configurations to users: LCD-off timer and
sleep timer. The wake-up methods are different as described below.
Figure 3-39 Power saving settings
LCD-off timer: The screen will be shut off if there is no
activity on remote control after 2 minute by default (Figure 3-39),
or the amount of time set by users (Figure 3-40).
Sleep timer: the remote control will enter sleep mode if there
is no activity on remote control after 15 minutes by default (Figure 3-39), or the amount of time set by users (Figure 3-40).
Wake-up methods
LCD-off - Tapping the touch screen at the top right corner will bring the screen back and
allow users to resume previous operation. Please DO NOT touch anywhere else to wake
up the screen, as you may accidentally hit some control icons causing unwanted laser
movements.
Sleep - Toggling the power switch UPWARDS will wake up the remote control and allow
users to resume previous operation.
Page 39 MAXX Position Laser Systems Manual Rev. 3.3.3 January-2016
Figure 3-40 Power saving settings are changed
If any of the timer settings are changed, the “Save changes” icon
will appear to enable saving changes (Figure 3-40).
Click the icon to save the changes to the remote control. The new
settings take effect immediately.
As usual, the color change of the status bar indicates whether the
operation has been successful or not.
3.4.3 Network ID Configuration
This function allows operators to change PAN ID of the remote control. We strongly
recommend associating one remote control to one set of lasers permanently. However, it is
practical to use one remote control to adjust lasers in multiple rooms in such cases as:
- One of the remote control is dysfunctional, and the operators may temporarily use another
remote control in place of the original one to ensure uninterrupted medical service;
- Some operators prefer to use one remote control to set up and adjust laser units in all the
room to ensure better equipment management;
- Use a single remote control to configure the spare unit.
In any of the above cases, PAN ID of the remote control must be changed before it can be
used to control lasers in the room.
Note: Improper use of this function may cause communication chaos in multiple rooms
equipped with MAXX-700 laser units. This is why this function is password-protected.
Please contact Cemar Electro Inc. Customer Service for more information.
Please follow the steps in the example below to switch PAN ID of a remote control. Assume
the remote control has PAN ID of 10. Now we need to use it in PAN-30 room for some
reason.
Click PAN ID Configuration icon on the Remote Control Settings to page to open
Password page, as shown in Figure 3-41.
Page 40 MAXX Position Laser Systems Manual Rev. 3.3.3 January-2016
Figure 3-41 Password page
Click corresponding digit icons to input password.
: to delete the last digit
: to clear all the inputs
: to enter password
You have three chances to enter the correct password. After three
unsuccessful trials, the remote control will disable this function and
jump back to Remote Control Settings page (Figure 3-37, Page 37)
automatically.
Figure 3-42 PAN Configuration page
If your password is correct, the remote control will open the PAN
Configuration page (Figure 3-42). The current PAN ID of the remote
control is displayed on the page.
Now you may start to set new PAN ID.
Figure 3-43 Set new PAN ID to 30
One click on will increase the PAN ID by 10.
One click on will decrease the PAN ID by 10.
Valid values of PAN ID: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, A0, B0,
C0, D0, E0, F0. Contact Cemar Electro Inc. if you have more than 15
rooms to be equipped with MAXX-700 laser systems.
Figure 3-44 Saving new PAN ID to remote
control
Click Save Changes icon to start changing PAN ID of the
remote control. Status bar remains yellow ( ) during the
process.
Usually the process finishes within five seconds.
Page 41 MAXX Position Laser Systems Manual Rev. 3.3.3 January-2016
Figure 3-45 New PAN ID is saved
Once PAN ID has been successfully changed, status bar
turns green ( ) and the new PAN ID is displayed, as
shown in Figure 3-45.
Figure 3-46 Main page – PAN-30
You can verify the new PAN ID by going back to the Main
page and checking PAN ID there. Figure 3-46 shows that
the current PAN ID is 30.
Now you can start using this remote control to send
commands to laser units in the new network.
3.4.4 Room Configuration
There are four regular laser units and one spare unit in a fully equipped room. However,
the room configuration can be very flexible. It is common to have less than four MAXX-700
units installed in a room. In that case, room configuration function can be used to set up
which units have been installed. Thus there will be no laser control functions available for
those uninstalled units.
Another potential use of room configuration function is to “lock up” laser positions to
prevent accidental or unauthorized operations on lasers.
The default room configuration is all units being enabled except the space unit (Unit #5).
It is RECOMMENDED to do room configuration after the installation of laser units.
However, the configuration can be performed at any time whenever situation has changed.
Click the Room Configuration icon on the Remote Control Settings page (Figure 3-37)
to open the Room Configuration page (Figure 3-47). Then follow the steps below to change
room configuration.
Page 42 MAXX Position Laser Systems Manual Rev. 3.3.3 January-2016
Figure 3-47 Room Configuration
Each Unit Number icon corresponds to a laser unit with the
unit number on the icon. The icon may be shown in two
background colors:
: The corresponding unit is enabled.
: The corresponding unit is disabled.
As a spare unit, Unit #5 is disabled by default to avoid
confusion, as shown in Figure 3-47.
Figure 3-48 Change configuration
Click the Unit Number icon to toggle the configuration state
of the corresponding unit. Figure 3-48 shows that Unit #3 is
selected to be disabled.
Any change of room configuration will trigger the Save
Changes icon to show up. Click it to save the changes
to the remote control.
Figure 3-49 New configuration has been saved
The Save Changes icon will be hidden once the
changes have been successfully saved, as shown in Figure 3-49.
The changes will be lost if you leave the current page
without saving the changes.
Figure 3-50 Unit Selection - Unit #3 is disabled
The unit that has just been disabled is displayed as a place
holder on the Unit Selection page (Figure 3-50).
Page 43 MAXX Position Laser Systems Manual Rev. 3.3.3 January-2016
4 Spare Unit
One spare unit, Unit #5, is available with MAXX-700 hospital laser system. If one of the
regular laser units (Unit #1, #2, #3, or #4) is dysfunctional, Unit #5 can be used in place of
the dysfunctional unit while it is being repaired or replaced.
Please follow the instructions below carefully to configure, use, and reset the spare unit.
4.1 Configuring Spare Unit
Step 1 Install the spare unit and prepare a PAN-10 remote control.
Install Unit #5 in the place of the dysfunctional unit, following instructions given in Section
2 “Installation” on Page 10.
In addition, you need a PAN-10 remote control to do the configuration because the default
PAN ID of Unit #5 is 10. If the PAN ID of the current remote control is not 10, please follow
instructions in Section 3.4.3 “Network ID Configuration” on Page 39 to switch the PAN ID
to 10.
Step 2 PAN-10 remote control links to the spare unit.

PAN-10 network, this step can be skipped.
Assume the network ID of the dysfunctional unit is 30.
Figure 4-2 Network Configuration page - Unit #5 on PAN-10 remote control
Increase PAN ID icon in the PAN ID Box: to increase
PAN ID of the unit by 10 on each click.
Decrease PAN ID icon in the PAN ID Box: to
decrease PAN ID of the unit by 10 on each click.
Since 10 is the minimum value of PAN ID, only the Increase
PAN ID icon is shown by default in Figure 4-2. Click
and will appear, as shown in Figure 4-3.
Keep clicking until the new PAN ID is 30.
Figure 4-3 Changing PAN ID of spare unit
The Save Changes icon appears beside the PAN ID box
when the displayed PAN ID does not equal the current PAN
ID of the unit.
Click to send “Change PAN ID” command to Unit #5.
The remote control returns to the Main page (Figure 3-1)
automatically after the command is successfully sent.
Upon receiving the command, the network status LED on
Unit #5 becomes yellow and the unit number LED on Unit
#5 becomes “-”, indicating PAN ID configuration is in
process.
Once the process has finished, the network status LED on
Unit #5 turns solid green and the unit number LED shows
“5”.
The PAN ID changing process should be completed within three seconds. If the network
status LED on Unit #5 does not turn solid green ten seconds after the Save Changes icon is
clicked, please press the RESET button on Unit #5 to reset its network configuration
(Section 4.2 , Page 46). Then repeat operations from Step 2.
Step 4 Change PAN ID of remote control
If the dysfunctional unit was in PAN-10 network, this step can be skipped.
Now that the spare unit is in the network of PAN-30, the remote control needs to be in the
same network to be able to configure its unit number. Please follow instructions in Section
PAN ID Box
Page 45 MAXX Position Laser Systems Manual Rev. 3.3.3 January-2016
3.4.3 “Network ID Configuration” on Page 39 to switch the PAN ID of the remote control to
30.
Step 5 Change unit number of spare unit
Assume the unit number of the dysfunctional unit is 2. The operation is the same for other
valid values of unit number.
Use the PAN-30 remote control to open Network Configuration page for Unit #5. The page
should look like Figure 4-4.
Figure 4-4 Network Configuration page -
PAN30/Unit #5
Decrease Unit Number icon in the Unit Number Box:
to decrease unit number by 1 on each click
Increase Unit Number icon in the Unit Number Box:
to increase unit number by 1 on each click
Since 5 is the maximum value of unit number, only the
Decrease Unit Number icon is shown by default in Figure
4-4. Click and will appear, as shown in Figure 4-5.
Figure 4-5 Changing unit number of spare unit
The Save Changes icon appears beside the Unit
Number Box when the displayed unit number does not
equal the current unit number of the unit.
Click to send “Change Unit Number” command to
Unit #5. The remote control returns to the Main page
(Figure 3-1) automatically after the command is
successfully sent.
Upon receiving the command, the network status LED on
Unit #5 becomes yellow and the unit number LED on Unit
#5 becomes “-”, indicating unit number configuration is in
process.
Once the process has finished, the network status LED on
Unit #5 turns solid green and the unit number LED shows
“2”.
The Unit Number changing process should be completed within five seconds. If the
network status LED on Unit #5 does not turn solid green ten seconds after the Save
Changes icon is clicked, please press the RESET button on Unit #5 to reset its network
configuration (Section 4.2 , Page 46). Then repeat operations from Step 2.

4.2 Reset the spare unit (IMPORTANT)
Once the dysfunctional unit has been repaired or replaced, please reset the network ID and
unit number of the spare unit to the default values (PAN 10/Unit #5) as soon as possible.
Use a toothpick or similar object to press the RESET button on the unit cover for at least
two seconds. Please refer to Figure 4-6 to locate the RESET button on the front cover of Unit
#5. The network status LED turns yellow immediately. Please allow up to six seconds for
the reset procedure to complete. The network status LED will become green and start
flashing if the reset procedure is successful. It a PAN-10 remote control is nearby, the
network status LED will turn solid green within two seconds. The unit box LED will show
number 5.

5 Troubleshooting
5.1 Operation Failure
If any operation cannot be completed successfully, the status bar on the remote control
turns red after timeout. In most of cases, this is due to wireless communication problem.
Please follow instructions in Section 3.2.1 “Linking and Checking Status” on Page 17 to
check if the target unit can be linked. If linking to the unit is successful, you can repeat the
previously failed operation.
If linking fails too, please follow the steps below:
1. Make sure there is no other wireless device in the room;
2. Check the network status LED on the target unit. If it is solid green, simply restart
the unit and try linking it again. If it is blinking, go to next step;
3. Check the network status LED on other laser units in the same room. If all the other
units have solid green LED, simply restart the unit and try linking it again. Otherwise,
go to next step;
4. Shut down all the units and power down the remote control. Wait at least 10 seconds,
then power up the remote control first, followed by the laser units. The network status
LEDs should turn solid green shortly after power-up. Now try linking to each laser unit.
If this fails, call Cemar Electro Inc. Customer Service for more information.
