11 DESCRIPTION OF THE UNIT
0
111 Overview (see Figure 1)
VMX is designed for ease of operatlon and years of reliable service

Each time you make an exposure, you can depend on the same consistent
rdographic quality, which is comparable to the radiographic quality of a full scale
x-ray room
Since the V M X is simply plugged into a wall outlet (10-16A). it is easily adapted
to intensive care and emergency mom applications
Because of light weight and easy driving, positioning the VMX requires a
minimum of effort
The cut-away design permits optimum visibility for steering down crowded
corndors
Operator controls are microprocessor based, combining the latest technology with
simplicity of design

13 DRIVING AND PLUGGING THE UNIT
CAUTION
The orhculated ann is balanced by gas spnngs If the V M X has been parked at a
temperature different by +I- 10°C (+I- SOOF) wrfh respect Lo the temperature of
the room where the unit i s to be used, let the unit at ambient temperature
20 to 30 minutes before releasing the arm latch in order to allow the gas spnngs
to attam the ophmum operating status
131 Dnving the unit
A compact design and light weight make driving and maneuvenng the V M X an
easy process
Before moving the VMX,always make sure that

- The arm is folded and latched (see Figure 8)
- The umt is unplugged and the cords winded on the saddle
Othemse
- Fold the arm to the park/transport position until you hear a clicking sound, it
means that the arm is latched
- Unplug the unit and wind up the cords
Gnp the dnve handle and squeeze the brake control levers to release the brakes
Now push and steer the unit, that is very easy to be driven thanks to the small
pivohng front wheels
When getting over small obstacles, press hard the drive handle and the pedal
downwards in order to lift the forward side of the unit
Stability is ensured by the rear wheel, that is located under the pedal
When you want to stop, release the brake control the unit will reman immobile on
the spot
With the mculated arm extended for a patient exam, the VMX can easily pivot on
the spot for exact posiaoning
Be careful dunng this maneuver'

Revision 00
a 1 32 Connecting the unit to the mains
Connect the equipotential cable (ground cable, yellow-green, terminated with

a clip) to the patient support
Plug the unit into a standard wall outlet (10-16A) with ground
Press the ON switch (1) Figure 3 It remains lit
After 5 seconds the display flashes and lamp (3) Figure 3 begins to blink to
indtcate that the unit is initializing
The parameters of the last exposure taken before unpluggrng the unit are &splayed
At this tlme you can select exposure parameters
After approximately 1 minute the lamp (3) extmguishes the unit is now ready for
use
Wait for the lamp to extinguish before making x-ray preparation, otherwise an
error code (ERR--430)will be displayed
If ERR--XXX and the exposure parameters are displayed alternately, i t means that
an error condition occurred, and the relevant error code i s being displayed
When an error code i s being displayed, x-ray preparation is inhibited
See section I 6 for resetting
WARNING
As a safety measute, when switching OFF the energy in the una is exhausted by
a resistor In order not to overheat this resistor, avoid frequent ONIOFF
sequences at short intervals T
However, the unit i s protected when required, error code ERR--010 is displayed,
the operator shall turn the unit OFF and leave it off for 2 minutes

14 POSITIONING AND X-RAY PROCEDURE
141 Positioning the artmdated arm

Turn knob (1) Figure 9 to release the arm latch
Hold the same knob and pull the mculated arm with slight force
Positlon the tube unit as required
14 2 Positioning the tube unrt

Tube u t
You may rotate the tube unit in two direchons
- +/-180" about the longitudinal arm axis (detents at every 90") (Figure 10/10a)
- 90" forwards about the tube housing longitudinal a x l s (see Figure 11)
Use the collimator handles to posibon the tube unit to the desired angle Because the tube assembly is balanced no
active lock is required
Little effort is needed to override fnctlon and rotate the tube
Collmator
You may rotate the collimator +/- 90" about the x-ray beam axis (see Figure 6) with detents every 45"
Turn the loclung knob (1 4) Figure 3d3b four turns counterclockwise and pull it out to overcome the detent positlon
the collimator to the desired angle and turn the knob clockwise to secure
Turn the knob counterclockwise to unlock and repositlon the collimator
Y
CAUTION
The collimatorhas no stops on the rotatwnal movement In order not to damnge the power cable, we recommend
to lwnrt coUmator rotatzon to +/- 180" with respect to normal posmon

@ 143 X-ray field sizing
The W X manual collimator limits the exposure field to a desired area at a given distance from the x-ray tube focal
spot
Press the field light button (on either the collimator face (1 3) Figure 3d3b - or handswitch - (1 1) Figure 3) to
activate the high-intensity field lamp
The field light is timed and automahcally turns off 30 seconds after pressing the switch or when switching to x-ray
order
To switch off the collimator field light without exposure press briefly (< 2 5 seconds) the double-step button
To activate the field light for another 30 seconds press the button agan when the light goes out
To avoid collimator lamp overheahng after the light field has been achvated four hmes in succession wait 5
mnutes before switching the lamp on again
Positlon the collimator and tube using the field light and crosshair shadow as guides The crosshar shows the field
center
Use the tape measure on the side of the collimator to measure the SID (source to image distance)
Collimate by adjusting the size of the field with the two control knobs located on the front of the collimator (12)
Figure 3d3b
The left knob controls the transverse blades and the right knob controls the longitudinal blades
A diagram on the face of the collimator shows whlch knob controls which blades
Field sizes from 0 x 0 to 43 x 43 cm (17 x 17 ) at a 100 cm (40 ) SID can be obtamed
The knob selectors indicate the field size for a selected SID
0 Dial numbers on the calibrated scale are for 40 (100 cm) and 72 (180 cm) SIDs

43 8 1 Calibrating the collimator lamp voltage
The value of the collunator lamp voltage can be changed by mowng the wre
marked 1 on connector XJA6 (POKERPWB)
The followng voltage values are available (see Section 6 3, synoptic schematic
SY003)
- - -
17V 19V 20V 21V 24V -
The tUumation intensity is directly proportional to the square of the voltage value
dehvered to the lamp
4382 Adjusting the light field
Ideally the x-ray field and the light field should coincide but this is rarely the case
The best compromise is to move the light field so the x-ray field is centered within it
Usually the light field area will be larger than the x-ray area
To place the two fields as close to coincidence as possible, only the light field
area is moved
The hght field area adjustment is made by repositiomng the field lamp housmg
4 I-
Loosen the two Phllips head adjustment screws located in the back of the
collimator (see Figure 77)
Exarmne the last exposure and determine which direction to move the field lamp
to best position light field around the x-ray field
Turn on the field lamp

Revision 09
CAUTION
High Temperature and Bnghtness'
Components are hot in the high energy field lamp adjustment area
Do not look directly at the field lamp Its bnghtness is blinding
5 The field lamp adjustment area wll be hot so use a metal tool to move the
bracket when repositiontng the light field area on the film cassette
6 When the lrght field area has been repositioned equidistant around the x-ray
field, Qghtenthe adjustment screws
-.
Alternately tighterung the two screws wdl help prevent the bracket fiom slipping
out of place
7 Repeat steps 1 through 5 until the percentage of SID requirements are obtamed
Note If the percentage of SID requirement cannot be obtained the lightfield is

either too large or in rare instances too small In this case the collimator will have
to be returned to thefactory
8 Replace the back cover and fasten it in place wth four metnc Phlhps head
screws
9 After any adjustment to the field light area, the collimator crosshur wndow
position should be checked and corrected if necessary Refer to para 4 3 8 3
4383 Crosshair window adjustment
1 After any adjustment to the field light area the collimator crosshair wndow '-
position should be checked and corrected if necessary
2 Place Light Field to X-Ray Field Test Pattern (46-198466Pl) directly under the
collimator If the test pattern ISnot available use a sheet of rectangular paper and
draw a cross extending fiom exact center to each edge and parallel to the sides of
the sheet

Iu.
Rewsion 09
3 Turn on field lamp and adjust collimator blades so edges of light field are
coincident w t h the rectangle on the test pattern or the sides of the paper sheet
Th~smay involve mowng the test pattern or paper sheet
4 Check the wndow crossham

The crosshwrs must be wthin 1/4 inch of the pattern centerlines or cross
(mcludig the wdth of the crosshair shadow) over the entire length of the
crosshwrs
5 If the wmdow crosshwrs are not properly aligned, go to step 7

If the wmdow crosshairs are properly aligned, do not perform steps 7 trough 9
6 Loosen the four screws retaining the crosshwr window in the bottom or exlt
side of the collimator
7 Gently slide the wndow until the crosshairs are aligned wth the test pattern

Install the equipment as directed in para 4 4 5 1 on channel 1 of the oscilloscope
Connect the X-RAY EXPOSURE signal (TPC30 of CONTROL PWB - see
Figure 27 and schemauc sheet 7F/3) to channel 2, ground at TPC60
Oscilloscope setung Channel 2 - 5V - Time 5 0 0 -~Trigger channel 2 (slope +)
The high voltage rise time is obtained by calculating the difference between the
positlve front of the X-RAY EXPOSURE signal and the end of the high voltage
nse front (KEITHLEY signal) (refer to Figure 23b)
