 ATTENTION
LES APPAREILS À RAYONS X SONT DANGEREUX À LA FOIS POUR LE PATIENT ET POUR LE MANIPULATEUR
SI LES MESURES DE PROTECTION NE SONT PAS STRICTEMENT APPLIQUEES
Bien que cet appareil soit construit selon les normes de sécurité les plus sévères, la source de rayonnement X représente un danger
lorsque le manipulateur est non qualifié ou non averti. Une exposition excessive au rayonnement X entraîne des dommages à l’organisme.
Par conséquent, toutes les précautions doivent être prises pour éviter que les personnes non autorisées ou non qualifiées utilisent cet
appareil créant ainsi un danger pour les autres et pour elles–mêmes.
Avant chaque manipulation, les personnes qualifiées et autorisées à se servir de cet appareil doivent se renseigner sur les mesures de
protection établies par la Commission Internationale de la Protection Radiologique, Annales 26 : Recommandations de la Commission
Internationale sur la Protection Radiologique et les normes nationales en vigueur.

WARNING
X–RAY EQUIPMENT IS DANGEROUS TO BOTH PATIENT AND OPERATOR
UNLESS MEASURES OF PROTECTION ARE STRICTLY OBSERVED
Though this equipment is built to the highest standards of electrical and mechanical safety, the useful x–ray beam becomes a source of
danger in the hands of the unauthorized or unqualified operator. Excessive exposure to x–radiation causes damage to human tissue.
Therefore, adequate precautions must be taken to prevent unauthorized or unqualified persons from operating this equipment or exposing
themselves or others to its radiation.
Before operation, persons qualified and authorized to operate this equipment should be familiar with the Recommendations of the Interna-
tional Commission on Radiological Protection, contained in Annals Number 26 of the ICRP, and with applicable national standards.

ATENCION
LOS APARATOS DE RAYOS X SON PELIGROSOS PARA EL PACIENTE Y EL MANIPULADOR
CUANDO LAS NORMAS DE PROTECCION NO ESTAN OBSERVADAS
Aunque este aparato está construido según las normas de seguridad más estrictas, la radiación X constituye un peligro al ser manipulado
por personas no autorizadas o incompetentes. Una exposición excesiva a la radiación X puede causar daños al organismo.
Por consiguiente, se deberán tomar todas las precauciones necesarias para evitar que las personas incompetentes o no autorizadas
utilicen este aparato, lo que sería un peligro para los demás y para sí mismas.
Antes de efectuar las manipulaciones, las personas habilitadas y competentes en el uso de este aparato, deberán informarse sobre las
normas de protección fijadas por la Comisión Internacional de la Protección Radiológica, Anales No 26: Recomendaciónes de la Comi-
sión Internacional sobre la Protección Radiológica y normas nacionales.

ACHTUNG
RÖNTGENAPPARATE SIND EINE GEFAHR FÜR PATIENTEN SOWIE BEDIENUNGSPERSONAL,
WENN DIE GELTENDEN SICHERHEITSVORKEHRUNGEN NICHT GENAU BEACHTET WERDEN
Dieser Apparat entspricht in seiner Bauweise strengsten elektrischen und mechanischen Sichereitsnormen, doch in den Händen unbe-
fugter oder unqualifizierter Personen wird er zu einer Gefahrenquelle. Übermäßige Röntgenbestrahlung ist für den menschlichen Orga-
nismus schädlich.
Deswegen sind hinreichende Vorsichtsmaßnahmen erforderlich, um zu verhindern, daßunbefugte oder unqualifizierte Personen solche
Geräte bedienen oder sich selbst und andere Personen deren Bestrahlung aussetzen können.
Vor Inbetriebnahme dieses Apparats sollte sich das qualifizierte und befugte Bedienungspersonal mit den geltenden Kriterien für den ge-
fahrlosen Strahleneinsatz durch sorgfältiges Studium des Hefts Nr. 26 der Internationalen Kommission für Strahlenschutz (ICRP) vertraut
machen: Empfehlungen der Internationalen Kommission für Strahlenschutz und anderer nationaler Normenbehörden.

2 OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE OF THIS MANUAL

This document is intended as a guide and information resource for planning and properly preparing a
site for the installation of the 4–monitor suspension.
It provides preinstallation data, such as site preparation prior to delivery of the 4–monitor suspension, ,
environmental and electrical requirements, and some additional planning aids.

3 TV MONITORS
In basic configuration, four 20” (51 cm) DISTAR are mounted on a fixed TV monitor suspension
(Model 2199840).
An option, for 3 or 4 monitors a 4 X 20” (51 cm) DISTAR fixed suspension can be supplied.
When a Flicker Free option is offered, 20” (51 cm) DISTAR monitors are replaced by Flicker Free
monitors (Suspension Model 2199841).

CAUTION
A Flicker Free monitor is heavier than a 20” (51 cm) DISTAR monitor.

4 DOOR SIZE REQUIREMENTS

Minimum door sizes also apply to hallways and elevators. See Illustration 1, for additional details.

For GEMS–Am:

Note: Special 1/2–13 bolts in US Standard for mounting stationary rails are furnished with each rad
suspension bridge assembly. In other countries, for metric standard, they are supplied by the
local Field Service. The bolts are case hardened ”Whiz–lock” flange bolts, requiring no
separate flat washer or lockwasher. Bolts of this type must be used to obtain adequate
clearances and permit unrestricted longitudinal movement of the bridge along the rails:
substitution is not recommended.
The furnished bolts are 1–1/2” long (GE part No 59136). For lengths other than this, contact:
MacLean–Fogg Lock Nut Company
1000 Allanson Road
Mundelein, Illinois 60060
Phone 312–566–0010
(thread length from 3/4’ to 2’ available).
