configured according to the following wiring diagram and pictures.
WARNING: The mammography unit is classified as permanently installed according

to IEC 601-1 international standard. This means that it must be electrically
connected by means of permanent connections. In particular, for the maximum
electrical safety, the protective earth conductor must be fixed and permanently
installed. This is a prescription of the manufacturer, and must be observed. Do not
let the mains wirings unfixed. Do not use any plug.

MAMMO UNIT/WORKSTATION CONNECTION

No voltage selection for 220, 230, 240 V operation is necessar y on the acquisition station.

19 - EMERGENCY CUT OFF

On the front side of the unit, two emergency pushbuttons are located to be used for total
and instantaneous switch off.
On the over side of the acquisition station, an other pushbutton is located having the same
function.
This control is only intended for operator's use in a condition of real or presumed danger.
In such a circumstance, the unit is totally disconnected from the mains, X -ray emission is
blocked, every motorised movement is blocked and compression paddle automatically
releases and the patient gets free.
This control cannot be used for normal switch off of the unit.
Pushbuttons are provided of self-lock function to prevent any self-release. To unlock, turn
them clockwise.
If you can't switch on the unit, please inspect all emergency pushbuttons.
Before switching ON the unit, check that Emergency Push Buttons are unlocked and Blue

Vent plug
Ring nut

23 - DATE AND TIME SETTING

The following steps must be carried out to adjust the display date and time:
Activate the regulation mode by simultaneously pressing the alarm reset button and the
decompression mode selection button. Keep these buttons pressed during regulation.
The date and time can be selected using the following buttons:
day KV regulation
month mAs regulation
year film screen selection / AEC selection
minutes compression force regulation
hour optical density regulation

24 - MAXIMUM COMPRESSION FORCE SETTING

The maximum compression force can be set, depe nding on local regulation, at 150 or 200
N. The force is calibrated till 200 N as explained in the related chapter of this manual, and
the index can vary between 10 and 200 on display. But it is possible to limit the range of
the index between 10 and 150 by means of Dip 3 SW 2 PCB 01-170. If the jumper is
closed, the index range is 10-150 and the force is limited accordingly.
25 – C-ARM MOVEMENT UNDER COMPRESSION SAFETY SETTING
Any movement of the C-arm is not possible under compression, for safety reason.
Both the rotation and the up/down movement are not compatible with the compression of
a breast or any other object.
If you try to rotate or move up/down the C-arm during the compression, two possibilities
exist: or the compression is released, and the movement is possible, or the compression
is maintained, and the movement is not acted.
To set one of the two possibilities, according to the operator’s preferences, use the DIP 4
SW 2 PCB 01-170.
After the setting, compress an object and verify that it is not possible to move the C-arm
during the compression or compression is removed depending on DIP 4 configuration.

26 - FOOT PEDAL CONNECTION

To connect the foot pedals, use the connections in the picture. If you have two pedals to
connect, they can be connected in parallel; wire both in the same connector (foot pedal 2
optional).
The pedals have three wires, UP to be connected to Pin 3 CN 12, DOWN to be connected
to Pin 1 CN 12, common to Pin 2 CN 12. By means of a ohmmeter you can check witch of
the three wires of the pedals is the common wire, witch corresponds to the movement up
and witch corresponds to the movement down.
Verify that pushing the compression up foot pedal, the compressor moves up, and that
pushing the compression down the light of the compression system switches on and the
compressor moves down.

27 - DOOR SAFETY SWITCH

Input for Door Safety Switch is provided at CN9 PCB 03-186.
Any attempt to start exposure sequence while the door is open will cause the alarm
message :
DOOR OPEN
On the display exposure doesn’t start.
Opening the door during exposure will have no effect to avoid partial exposure and
unusable image.
NOTICE: If switch is not connected/used CN9 pins MUST be shorted
NOTICE: Low voltage, low current contactors are recommended.

28 - EXTERNAL LAMP

33 - COLUMN COVERS ASSEMBLING

Column covers are reversible in order to give the possibility to position control panel at
requested side.
To assemble the mammography unit insert the covers appropriately. The holes in the
cover must correspond to related holes in the metal chassis
There are three fixing holes for each side of the HELIANTHUS.
After assembling verify the correct functionality of the emergency pushbuttons.

34 – UNIT CLEANING
External Surfaces
Use only a soft cloth or, for more efficient cleaning, a neutral detergent to avoid damage to
painted surfaces, plastic parts and compression plate.
During cleaning operations, do not use excess of detergent and be careful that detergent
doesn’t enter the detector or the unit.
To avoid electrostatic dust collection over the plastic covers, use anti-static dashboard
wet-wipes.
Parts in contact with the patient

Facility must establish and follow a protocol for cleaning and disinfecting mammography
equipment that has come in contact with blood fluids or potentially infectious material.
Compression plates
Use only neutral soap. Chemical detergents can damage polycarbonate getting it hard
with risks of cracks.
WARNING: to clean the carbon fiber cover of the DETECTOR, use only a soft cloth lightly
dampened with a neutral detergent.
Never use wet cloths that can provoke the infiltration of liquids in the DETECTOR.

35 - PACKING INSTRUCTIONS (UNI 9151)

If the unit has to be delivered by sea, protect internal side with tar coated paper.
During packing check all items according to packing list.
Position the wood base (A) over the blocks (B):
Disassemble the two lateral covers by unscrewing the fixing screws showed in the picture:
Remove the DETECTOR sliding it from C-Arm.
Unplug the connections of the emergency pushbuttons and of the dis play, and avoid that
the cables are damaged during the packing operations.

Close the High Voltage vent valve to avoid the oil leackage.
MAMMOGRAPHY UNIT
Assemble the rubber buffers on the rear part of mammography unit.
Protect the unit and the covers by wrapping them with air bubble plastic foil, fix foil with
adhesive tape avoiding to stick it on painted surfaces. Lay down the unit and fix it on the
base by means of the holes of the buffers.
Don’t use C-ARM as handle to lay down the unit.

ACQUISITION STATION
Draw the anti-X glass shield from the acquisition station and remove the console plan.
Protect the acquisition station, the anti-X glass shield and the console plan by wrapping
them with air bubble plastic foil, fix foil with adhesive tape avoiding to stick it on painted
surfaces.
Put the material aside of the mammography unit and fix it to the plan using floorboards.
Reinforce the box and fix the internal parts.
Insert the covers of the unit, boxes with accessories properly protected and close the box.
Place external labels for shipping:

DETECTOR (18x24 or 24x30 cm)
