The document provides an overview of the Epic Single Head Genesys gamma camera system, which consists of a gantry, detector head, patient table, collimator exchanger, and interface electronics. It can interface with either a Pegasys or Atlas image acquisition system. The gantry supports and moves the detector head. The interface electronics include boards that perform data correction, orientation, conversion between parallel and serial data formats, and transfer data to the image processing system. The system is used to acquire gamma ray images for medical imaging procedures.

In the rare circumstance that the jumpers are


in the wrong positions, or you are having
trouble with the detection circuitry, you may
need to locate and change those jumpers.

To enable collision detection, the jumpers


must be between pins 1 and 2 of the three pin
connector W6 and W7. In the enabled posi-
tion, the red Motion H alt light on the Display
Panel will be off. If you remove the jumper, or
shift it to the disable position (between pins 2

sors on a collimator detect a collision, colli-

motions and turn on the red Motion H alt light
on the Display Panel.

To back away from a collision, you must press


the Override Button on the Display Panel.
When you press the Override Button, the red
Motion H alt light will flash, a beeping noise
will occur, and you will be able to move any
part of the gantry.
