purpose must aim at the minimization of radiation exposition to
any persons.
Those persons responsible for the application must have the

specific knowledge according to legal requirements and
regulations and must establish safe exposure procedures for this
kind of systems.
Those persons responsible for the planning and installation of this

equipment must observe the national regulations.
Warning
Only qualified personnel may operate the overhead tube crane.
Operation of the equipment by untrained persons or those who
are unfamiliar with the overhead tube crane may cause serious
injury to the patient, the operator, or cause damage to the

Equipment Safety Guidelines i-9

Radiation Protection
Serious unfavorable health effects can result from short term exposure to
high levels of ionizing radiation (such as X-rays) as well as from long term
exposure to low levels. Personnel who operate the overhead tube crane
should familiarize themselves with both the short term and the long term
effects of radiation exposure and take appropriate measures to minimize
the amount of radiation to which they are exposed while performing their
duties. Some effects of X-radiation are cumulative, and may extend over a
period of months or years. The best safety rule for X-ray operators is to
avoid exposure to the primary beam at all times.
Ionizing radiation occurs naturally in the environment. It is generated by
astronomical radiation sources such as the sun and the stars, and by the
soil under our feet. The atmosphere filters radiation from astronomical
sources; as a result, the radiation level from these sources is much lower at
sea level than on the summit of high mountains. Radiation generated in
the soil varies greatly from place to place depending on the composition of
the soil. For example, areas rich in granite rock have a higher level of
radiation than other areas.
Any materials placed in the path of the beam absorb natural as well as
man-made radiation, such as the X-rays used in the overhead tube crane
sytem. Materials with a high atomic number, such as tungsten, lead, and
uranium, absorb X-rays much more effectively than materials with a low
atomic number such as hydrogen, aluminum, or beryllium. Therefore,
lead is used for shielding the radiologist's workstation in most X-ray
facilities. If there are windows in the partition separating the operator
from the patient, these windows are typically glazed with lead glass and
provide effective protection against ionizing radiation.
To minimize dangerous exposure, use movable lead screens,
lead-impregnated gloves, and lead-impregnated aprons. These protective
devices must contain 0.25 millimeter thickness of lead or the equivalent.
Use such protective devices for all operators, observers, and/or servicing
personnel exposed to radiation fields of five or more milli-Roentgens per
hour.
The shielding provided for a typical X-ray facility's operator workstation
is generally quite effective and reduces the residual radiation from
diagnostic X-rays to a level that is comparable to or lower than natural
background radiation. If the operator abandons the protected
environment of the workstation, he or she may be exposed to a
significantly higher level of radiation. For a single exposure this may still
not lead to serious health effects, but repeated carelessness in this regard
may lead to serious consequences.
i-10 Radiation Protection

Any object in the path of the primary beam produces scattered radiation.
In the absence of proper precautions, scattered radiation can result in a
substantial radiation dose to the operator or any other personnel in the
facility. Moveable screens may be used to shield occupied areas from
scattered radiation.
The X-ray generator/host system used to power the X-ray system only
produces X-rays when high voltage is applied to the X-ray tube. When the
high voltage is removed, X-ray emission ceases without delay.
Radiation Protection i-11

Radiation Safety
Safety
Everyone associated with X-ray work must be familiar with the
recommendations of the Center for Devices and Radiological Health
(CDRH), the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST), the
National Council on Radiation Protection (NCRP), and the International
Committee on Radiation Protection (ICRP).
Be sure that all personnel authorized to operate the X-ray system are
familiar with the established regulations of the authorities named above.
All personnel should be monitored to ensure compliance with
recommended procedures.
Current sources of information include:
• National Council on Radiation Protection Report No. 33
(“Medical X-ray and gamma ray Protection for Energies up to
10 MEV-Equipment Design and Use”).
• National Bureau of Standards Handbook No. 76 (“Medical X-ray
Protection up to Three Million Volts”). Refer to NCRP Report No. 33.
• Current recommendations of the International Committee on
Radiation Protection.
Although X-radiation is hazardous, X-ray equipment does not pose any
danger when properly used. Be certain all operating personnel are
properly educated concerning the hazards of radiation. Persons
responsible for the system must understand the safety requirements and
special warnings for X-ray operation. Review this manual and the
manuals for each component in the system to become aware of all safety
and operational requirements.
Warning
Ensure exposure parameters are properly adjusted within safety
limits.
Caution
Incorrectly positioning the X-ray tube and collimator could cause
the X-ray field to be misaligned with the bucky, resulting in
unacceptable images.
Radiation Safety i-13

Manufacturer’s Responsibility
Although this equipment incorporates protection against X-radiation
other than the useful beam, practical design does not provide complete
protection. Equipment design does not compel the operator or assistants
to take the necessary precautions, nor does it prevent the possibility of
improper use (authorized or unauthorized persons carelessly, unwisely,
or unknowingly exposing themselves or others to direct or secondary
radiation). Allow only authorized, properly trained personnel to operate
this equipment.
Be certain that all individuals authorized to use the equipment are aware
of the danger of excessive exposure to X-radiation.
This equipment is sold with the understanding that the manufacturer, its
agents, and representatives do not accept any responsibility for
overexposure of patients or personnel to X-radiation.
Furthermore, the manufacturer does not accept any responsibility for
overexposure of patients or personnel to X-radiation generated by the
overhead tube crane as a result of poor operating techniques or
procedures.
No responsibility is assumed for any unit that has not been serviced and
maintained in accordance with the technical service manual, or which has
been modified or tampered with in any way.
i-14 Manufacturer’s Responsibility

Monitoring Personnel
Monitoring personnel to determine the amount of radiation to which they
have been exposed provides a valuable crosscheck to determine whether
or not safety measures are adequate. This crosscheck may reveal
inadequate or improper radiation protection practices and/or serious
radiation exposure situations.
The most effective method of determining whether the existing protective
measures are adequate is the use of instruments to measure the exposure
(in rads). This measurement should be taken at all locations where the
operator, or any portion of the operator’s body, may be inadequately
shielded during exposure. Exposure must never exceed the accepted
tolerable dose.
A frequently used but less accurate method of determining the amount of
exposure is placement of film at strategic locations. After a specified
period of time, develop the film to determine the amount of radiation.
Fluorescent screens (used in a darkened room) may also be used to detect
excessive radiation.
A common method of determining whether personnel have been exposed
to excessive radiation is the use of film badges. These are X-ray sensitive
film enclosed in a badge that incorporates metal filters of varying degrees
of transparency to X-ray radiation. Even though this device only measures
the radiation reaching the area of the body on which it is worn, it does
provide an indication of the amount of radiation received.
Hazardous Materials
The X-ray tube, PCBs, and collimator used with the overhead tube crane
contain lead and oil. Refer to the manuals provided with the X- ray tube
and collimator or contact Del Medical for additional information
regarding use and disposal of hazardous materials.
Monitoring Personnel i-15

Radiation Protection Survey

A radiation protection survey must be made by a qualified expert after
every change in equipment or change in operating conditions which
might significantly increase the probability of personnel receiving more
than the maximum permissible dose equivalent.
Restrictions on Use
Warning
Do not install components or accessories that were not intend for
use by the system. Failure to comply could result in damage to the
equipment or injury to personnel.
The user is responsible for ensuring that the application and use of the
overhead tube crane does not compromise the patient contact rating of
any equipment used in the vicinity of or in conjunction with the system.
Caution
Observe all safety precautions recommended by the accessory
equipment manufacturer in the user documentation provided with
the equipment.
The hardware specified for use with the overhead tube crane has been
selected, tested, and verified by Del Medical Inc. to meet the intended
applications. All specified hardware meets applicable regulatory agency
requirements for those countries where it is offered for sale with respect to
its intended applications.

1.1 Introduction
This manual provides installation, operation, and service information for
the overhead tube crane. This manual also includes a spare parts list for
the tubestand.
Introduction 1-1
OTC-12 M/A Installation, Operation, & Maintenance Manual
1.2 Description
The overhead tube crane is an X-ray tube and collimator support
subsystem integrated into a radiographic system. The tube crane provides
flexibility in X-ray room design since it occupies no floor space and the rail
design allows the tube to operate within a large area as defined by the
ceiling rails. The telescoping tube arm allows the X-ray tube to be lifted up
out of the way when not in use.
The overhead tube crane is suspended from two longitudinal rails
mounted to the ceiling. The overhead tube crane weighs approximately
500 pounds and requires substantial mounting means for safe operation.
1.2.1 Overhead Tube Crane Components

The overhead tube crane components are:
1 Longitudinal Rails. There are two longitudinal rails, which are fixed
to the ceiling structure (usually I-beams and Unistrut rails). The
longitudinal rails support transverse bridge and allows movement in
the left and right direction.
2 Transverse Bridge. The transverse bridge consist of two lateral rails
and end plates which are supported by the longitudinal rails by roller
bearings. The transverse bridge supports the weight of the overhead
tube crane components and allows their movement in the back and
forth directions.
3 Electromagnetic Brakes. These brakes are controlled by switches on
the control console. They hold the X-ray tube stationary during the
operation.
4 Transverse Carriage. The transverse carriage supports the X-ray tube,
the collimator, and the control console. It allows these components to
move vertically using an integrated counterpoised spring. Two pivot
points at the base of the five-element telescope allow the remaining
components to rotate horizontally and vertically to preset detented
positions.
5 Control Console. The control console provides a digital angulation
readout as well as a height readout indicating the source-to-image
distance (SID) between the X-ray tube focal spot and the image
receptor within the bucky.
6 X-ray Tube. The X-ray tube contains an anode and cathode to
generate and direct the X-rays through the collimator to the bucky.
7 Collimator. The collimator provides the means for adjusting the
irradiated field size.

5.11 Stop Assembly

Note: Installation errors have an effect on the function of the stop assembly. The
detent assembly is pre-adjusted and does not have to be adjusted.
• If a sensor does not react, test whether the sensor in question works at
all by taking a piece of metal and bringing it up close to the sensor.
• If the sensor responds when placing the metal close to it, but does not
respond when it is moved over the stop detent, the installation
position of the stop assembly must be checked.
• To evaluate the function, the function of the status LEDs on the D303
I/O board must be taken into consideration.
• There are 4 status LEDs each for the longitudinal and transverse
directions:
– Stop magnet active
– Sensor 1
– Sensor 2
– Sensor 3
• The arrangement of the LEDs on the I/O board can be found in the
wiring diagram of the tube stand.
• You can use the SSW to check the function of the sensors and the
LEDs by opening the menu: Test Tools > Stand Tests > Detent Check.
5.11.1 Checking the Installation Position
Note: The detent assembly is pre-adjusted and does not have to be adjusted.
The correct installation location of the stop assembly can be found in the chapter
”Replacement of Parts“.
• Installation shims are located on the stop assembly that must be used
for installation to define the correct position of the assembly.

moved back by the spring.
5-24 Stop Assembly

5.11.2 Operation of the Stop Assembly
Note: In order for the stop detents to be detectable by the stop assembly, the stop
detents must not lie directly next to one another.
The spacing from the center of one stop detent to the next center of a stop detent
must be at least 150mm.
Y311, longitudinal direction:

• Light on the S2 sensor on: Sensor is in the stop detent ramp.
• Light on S1 and S2 sensors on: Sensor is over the stop detent.
• Light on the S3 sensor on: the stud is engaged.
• The interval from the time S2 responds until S1 responds is analyzed
and the result is used to calculate the movement speed.
• If the 3D travels over a stop detent at a speed up to the speed set here,
then the stud engages. If the speed is greater than the value set here,
then the 3D moves beyond the stop detent without engaging.
• This is set via the menu: Configuration > SCU > Speed limit for lock
activation.
Y312, transverse direction:
• Light on the S1 sensor on: Sensor is in the stop detent ramp.
• Light on S1 and S2 sensors on: Sensor is over the stop detent.
• Light on the S3 sensor on: the stud is engaged.
• The interval from the time S1 responds until S2 responds is analyzed
and the result is used to calculate the movement speed.
• If the 3D travels over a stop detent at a speed up to the speed set here,
then the stud engages. If the speed is greater than the value set here,
then the tube stand moves beyond the stop detent without engaging.

Instructions
1. Transverse SID Assembly Mounting Instructions

1 This assembly is shipped onto the transverse bridge. The SID cams for
the table center and wall center must be located on to the bridge. The
assembly must be aligned to actuate at the table and wall centers to
coincide with the previously set OTC 12 cross table locking cams.
When the switch hits the SID cam (1 in Figure 1-1), including the OTC
12 center cams, it activates the locking mechanism at a set distance, as
well as aligning with the table or the wall center.
1
Figure 1-1. Transverse Cam
2 Unscrew the switch cover (1 in Figure 1-2) on the side of the OTC12 to
allow adjustment of the assembly.
Figure 1-2. Switch Cover

2 Longitudinal SID
1 Unwrap from the SID assembly from the hose. Install the assembly
onto the transverse bridge T-slot behind the rear longitudinal rail.
Install the SID cams onto the rear rail to coincide with the OTC 12
locking cams. Adjust the switches to activate with the correct 40” and
72” SID positions.
Set the longitudinal cam (1 in Figure 1-3) to coincide with the

previously adjusted OTC 12 40” and 72” locking cams.

3. Vertical Potentiometer (Repair and/or Recalibration Procedure)
Note: This procedure is a repair procedure and not an installation procedure. This
procedure is only to be completed when a tube handle, PC board, or firmware has
been replaced, updated, or recalibrated.
Also, when separating the connectors pull on the connectors, not the wires.
1 The vertical potentiometer cable (1 in Figure 1-12) controls the vertical

relation between X-ray tube focal spot and film pane.
Unplug the jumper from X-22 connectors 1 and 2 on the circuit board.
Figure 1-12. Vertical Potentiometer Cable
1-9
2 In the normal operation, the external junction box cable (the gray
cable) is connected to the SID Pot. The X22 connector is connected to
the 10 ohm connector.
1-10
3 Do this procedure only when a tube handle, PC board, or firmware

has been replaced, updated, or recalibrated.
Unplug the SID Pot from the vertical potentiometer cable. Unplug the
X22 connector with the 10 ohm connector. Then connect the X22 to the
SID Pot.
4 After calibration, return the plug configuration for normal operation.
