NOTE Use only the paneling screws that secure the cover panels, other-
wise there is a risk of cables being damaged during unit move-
ment.
Product-specific Information 0
• The work steps described here must be performed by a trained, qualified specialist.
• These instructions describe the replacement of the main assemblies and are in no way
intended to be a complete guide. If any "technical documentation" is shipped with the
spare parts, it must be observed. Work should be performed only by a trained special-
ist.
• Operating instructions supplied with the parts have to be handed over to the customer
and filed in the "Operating Instructions" customer binder.
• Depending on the version, the figures and/or drawings may slightly deviate from the
actual system delivered.
• Damaged or worn parts may be replaced only with original parts.
• These instructions describe comprehensive mechanical work. This requires good
mechanical skills.
• If there is a malfunction, first check the mechanics of the drives.
• Special attention must be paid to easy movement of all movable parts.
• Jamming will cause a switch-off by the safety software.
• For this reason, check the cleanliness and lubrication of rails and guide parts, check the
chain and toothed belt tension for the particular drive, the function of the brakes, and if
needed, clean off any wear residue and adjust the air gap.
Lubrication Locations
Prior to performing the relevant adjustment, all accessible chains and gear drives, glide
and roller bearing guides must be checked, and, if needed, lubricated with Longtime PD2
(unless otherwise indicated).
Securing Screws
All screws that were removed for adjustment purposes must be secured again to their
original condition. The screws are secured with appropriate lock washers, counternuts or
Loctite 221, part no. 20 48 874. Where Loctite is required for securing, this is specified in
the text.
When working with Loctite, make absolutely sure the adhesive does not unintentionally
penetrate into the bearings.
If this causes a bearing to become jammed, it will not be evident until days later.
Loctite can be loosened again by applying heat (hot air gun, etc.).
Please note:
Mech. parts These instructions mainly describe how to access the components
to be replaced. A detailed description (e.g. remove all screws of a
drive) is not provided, because the individual work steps become
obvious and clear as the work is performed.

It is not possible to influence this; an eccentric bearing that is not properly adjusted is
the only factor that may cause more play in the column.
2. The tomo rod must be perpendicular to the table longitudinal direction. It is possible to
adjust this with the SSW:
- Adjustment/ Calibration/ Spotfilm Device and column longitudinal drive/ Spotfilm
Device longitudinal drive: Potentiometer adjustment
- Adjustment/ Calibration/ Spotfilm Device and column longitudinal drive/ Column lon-
gitudinal drive: Potentiometer adjustment
3. The image receptor (cassette or I.I.) must be horizontal.
It is not possible to adjust this; an eccentric bearing that is not properly adjusted is the
only factor that may cause more play in the image receptor.
4. The X-ray tube unit must be vertical and centered to the image receptor. It can be
adjusted by a mechanical adjustment (described in this chapter).
5. If the rear column cover panel cannot be installed with the unit in the 0 degree position,
the central beam can be very much out of toleranfe and an adjustment using the meth-
ods described here is not possible!
Helpful hint: Install the cover panel again at 0 degrees.

Fig. 48:
With the ICONOS unit, for the first time the tube unit can be moved in the table longitudi-
nal direction (A/Fig. 48 / p. 54), rotated (B/Fig. 48 / p. 54) and moved in the table trans-
verse direction (C/Fig. 48 / p. 54) and rotated (D/Fig. 48 / p. 54) to assure optimum central
beam centering in all cases.
The following checks and adjustments are relevant for a well-functioning unit in which the
centering of the tube unit, replacement of the collimator or which no longer is okay
because of mechanical wear. Replacement of the column or of the image receptor is not
considered here.
If the column or the image receptor has to be replaced in a unit, contact with CS HSC is
required.

Function Check 0
The following function check describes the check and an adjustment using fluoro.
The check is performed using a small radiation field. Only the radiation field centered on
the centering template is evaluated. In this instance, the absolute position of the I.I., cen-
tering of the TV system to the I.i. and even the image position on the monitor are not rele-
vant.
The check should be performed at the smallest zoom level, because a difference can best
be seen by magnifying the radiation field on the monitor. In a situation in which the center
marker on the centering template under fluoro differs greatly from the other zoom steps,
another zoom step can be used as an alternative. The tolerances listed must then be
reduced accordingly.
• Select the smallest zoom format.
• Move the unit into the 35° position (for units with lift base, into the 0° position).
• Set the min. SID.
• Set the collimation at the collimator to 10 x 10 cm.
X • Using fluoro or a DR exposure, measure the dimensions shown in (Fig. 50 / p. 56) (on
the monitor) and make a note of them.
• Set the max. SID.
• Set the collimation at the collimator to 10 x 10 cm.
X • Using fluoro or a DR exposure, measure the dimensions shown in (Fig. 50 / p. 56) (on
the monitor) and make a note of them.

In the example, (Fig. 50 / p. 56) the following can be seen:
• The difference between "a" and "b" is totally different at the different SID’s. In this
instance, the central beam is not perpendicular in the table transverse direction.
Correction: turn the tube unit in the table transverse direction.

• Insert a 24 x 30 cm or 10 x 12 inch cassette sideways.
• Select direct technique, full format and semi-automatic mode, longitudinal and trans-
verse.
• Set the max. SID.
• Move the unit into the 35° position (with units with the lifting base, into 0°).
• Manually set a format of approx.18 x 24 (display on collimator).
• Place a side marker on the tabletop.
X • Trigger exposure.
• Develop the film and label it (exposure data, date).
Evaluation:
• Marke the center of the radiation field and the center of the film as shown in the sketch.
• Measure the difference between the center of the radiation field and the center of the
film.
¹ Max. admissible difference ≤8 mm
Correction:
• Check centering of the tube unit/collimator to the center of the spotfilm device.
Function test:
• Move the unit into the 0° position.
• Center the column.
• Set the max. SID
• Attach a sheet of transparent film on the monitor (a sheet of unexposed film can also be
used).
• Set the collimator exactly to 10 x 5 cm.
X • Switch fluoro ON
• Draw in the outline of the radiation field on the monitor on the film (felt tip pen).
• Set the min. SID.
• Raise the unit all the way up.
• Set the max. SID.
• Set the collimator to exactly 10 x 5 cm.
X • Switch fluoro ON
• Draw in the outline of the radiation field on the monitor on the film (felt tip pen).
• Set the min. SID.
• Move the unit into the max. Trendelenburg position.
• Set the max. SID.
• Set the collimator to exactly 10 x 5 cm.
X • Switch fluoro ON
• Draw in the outline of the radiation field on the monitor on the sheet of film (felt tip pen).
• Set the min. SID.
• Move the unit into the 0° position.
• Evaluation of the drawn in fields on the film sheet.
Required: The fields must coincide with one another.
Tolerance: There may be a difference of one third of the width in the longitudinal and
transverse directions.
By using the 3 drawn-in fields, the central beam drift can be determined; a direct toler-
ance dimension in mm on the film is not possible because the field size on the monitor
depends on the monitor size, etc.

If the drift for one unit is not within specifications, there can be too much play in the system
(twisting of the column, etc. is normal).

The following causes are possible:
• Tube unit rotation assembly:
The centering stud or the stop plate (Fig. 1 / p. 11) is not jammed or worn.
• Tomo rod:
Top attachment point (1/Fig. 61 / p. 65) not fixed to the tube!
Tomo rod (2/Fig. 61 / p. 65) not correctly threaded in!
Suspension point on the I.I. carriage or the ball bearing in the spotfilm device
(3/Fig. 61 / p. 65) not jammed!
• Eccentric bearings for the support arm of the column not adjusted!
• Eccentric bearings (1/Fig. 62 / p. 66) for the column carriage are not adjusted!
• The chain tension for the spotfilm device longitudinal and column longitudinal are too
loose!
• If the rear column cover panel was not installed with the unit in the 0 degree position,
the central beam can be far out of tolerance and an adjustment using the methods
described here is not possible!
Helpful tip: Reinstall the cover panel in the 0 degree position.

In addition, check grid ”movement in” and “movement out”.
• Install the cover panels in the reverse order.
• Evaluate errors in the error log. Compare the time of the reported errors (from the physi-
cian) with the errors stored at the same time.
• Take note of the sequence of the error messages. Often, frequency converter errors
(Error 501.......) appear as follow-up errors.
If, for example, Errors 250-254, 255, 257, 259 or 261 are displayed in combination with
Errors 501...., the error should first be looked for in the potentiometers and not in the
frequency converters.
In particular, Errors 255, 257, 259, 261 open the safety circuit and switch off power to
the converters. If any converter is now controlled, the converter does not respond
(because there is no power) and Error 501.... is written into the error log.
Depending on the unit movement, the LEDs B33, B34, B35, B36 must light up on the D31
board.
¹ If the corresponding LED does not light up, it is possible that release is missing.
The frequency converter is not defective.
In the Iconos SSW, it is possible to manually test the function of the drives / frequency
converter with the service buttons under “Diagnstic/ Tests/ Movements with the service
buttons”(1/Fig. 70 / p. 77). See the Help file.
• Select “Diagnstic/ Tests/ Movements with the service buttons/ Basic unit”.
• Select “Unlimited end position” (2/Fig. 70 / p. 77).
NOTE In this mode, the limit swiches are disabled; however movement
can be made to the mechanical end stop!
