Therefore, all precautions must be taken to prevent unauthorised or unqualified personnel
from using this equipment, which would be dangerous for themselves and for other
persons.
Before they carry out any operation, the personnel qualified and authorised to use this
equipment must be informed of the protection measure issued by the International
Committee on Radiological Protection and of the related national rules.
The ray passage must be controlled from a radiation shielded area.
When stopping near the equipment, during an exposure, wear anti-X Ray protective
garments.
The diagnosis system must be provided with audio and visual means for the
communications between the operator, who works in the shielded area, and the patient.
The Company disclaims all responsibility in case of interventions of unauthorised
personnel.
The equipment must not be used for purposes other than those provided for.

7 ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS

The BS 45 vertical bucky power supply MUST BE 24 V ac

BS45 has a x-ray generator connection

clamp (MS1) in the middle of the right side
MS1 of column.
This connection are replicated on MS2 on
the left of the sliding part. Inside the bucky
panel cover is placed TB1 clamp, in the
lower part of potter bucky.
The vertical movement brake is in the upper
part of column, it is always on. By the
pressure of handle button the
MS2 electromagnetic unblock the pulley and
allow the vertical movement
Fig.8

Fig 9
Fig 10

MS3 is the connection clamp of electromagnetic, thanks to this solution the device remain
braked without power supply too.
DON’T MOVE THE BUCKY WITHOUT PUSH THE UNBLOCK BUTTON TO DAMEGE
THE BRAKING SYSTEM.

TECHNICAL AND INSTALLATION MANUAL Pag. 10 di 15

BS 45 MTEBS04

The x-ray generator must be connected to MS1 with this indications:

MS1
1 X-ray contact
2 X-ray contact
3 Grid start
4 Grid start
5 0 Vdc
6 + 24 Vdc
7 Gnd

7.1 IONISATION CHAMBER CONNECTION

It is possible on after market connection of an ionisation chamber:

1) Remove the potter bucky plastic cover (see fig. 7) and the right column cover (fig. 4).

2) Perform the mechanical installation of an ultra thin ionisation chamber (for more details
see the bucky technical manual enclosed) between the scatter grid and the cassette
tray. After the introduction check the free movement of the grid and cassette, the
chamber must not to touch the grid during the exposure or the cassette during the film
charging.

3) The ionisation chamber cable must come out from bucky near to the TB1 clamp.

4) The cable from the generator must go together the power supply cable up to MS1 (see
fig. 9) inside the “plastic stocking” up to MS2, then has to follow the existing cable up to
the potter bucky. Block the cable with the fixing clamp.

5) Connect the two cables (from ionisation chamber and from generator) and check the
correct working of the chamber.

6) Reassemble all removed covers.

Note:
The lenght of the cable from the entrance in the BS 45 nearly the floor and the ionizatio
chamber is around 2 meters.

7.2 Potentiometer kit, for Bucky automatic centring

By customer request, BS45 can be equipped with a special kit for the automatic following
of the X-Ray source during the vertical movement of the potter bucky.
The potentiometer is an 10 K ohm 10 round (PR2, fig 11), it is connect to the opposite
pulley of the braking system.

This optional function is available only with

PR2 ceiling tube stand and vertical tube stand with
safety and precise motorised movement like
our STATIX and Ceilstand Syncro.

Fig. 11

CALIBRATION:
with ceiling or floor tube stand not Italray production see the respective technical manual
for right potentiometer and calibration.
Common activity:
1) remove the potentiometer PR2 from the gear (fi.11)
2) turn on the automatic centring on the tube stand, turn the x-ray tube in teleradiographic
position, turn on the collimator light and adjust the potentiometer until reach the
centering.
3) Repositioning the potentiometer on the gear.
4) Cover again the device, attention to connect all ground contact.
5) Check the following function
6) Test of all function, clean, mechanical, electrical and radiographic test.

6) Performance a generals cleaning of the device.
7) Performance a generals mechanical, electrical and radiographic test

8.2 ROPE REPLACEMENT

1) Remove the upper cover pos. e fig 10, the lateral covers Pos. c fig. 10.
2) Push the bucky panel in the lower position and introduce the counterweight pivot into
the hole Pos. f fig. 10, lift lightly the bucky panel (the counterweight will rest on
pivot), push up the bucky panel (3/5 cm) and stop the panel in this position with a
“step” (or something to support the panel), the two ropes now are free.
3) Remove the back side cover Pos. h.
4) Stand out the damaged rope from the sliding part Pos. g removing the pivot.
5) Stand out the other rope side from the counterweight fig. RIC 4 pos. e
6) Change the rope, reassemble the pivots removed before from the sliding part and
from the counterweight.
7) Put in to the two pulley’s slot (fig RIC 2 pos g) pay attention into the column the ropes
do not cross together.
8) Release the bucky panel, be careful the two ropes have to remain into the pulley’s
slot
9) The counterweight will balance automatically the two ropes
10) Reassemble all covers, pay attention to connect all ground contacts
11) Performance general check, mechanical, electrical and radiographic check
