2-2 Procedure
1. Place a 0.050 inch (1.25mm) feeler gauge between the reel mount and the safety spring housing at
point B (see Illustration 2–2) on the safety spring housing nearest the safety drum ratchet. Let the
reel mount rest on the feeler gauge.
Note: Do not push the gauge in so far that it interferes with the spring inside the housing.

2. Check that reel mount is bottomed out on feeler gauge. If it is, proceed to Step 4. If not, proceed to
Step 3.
Note: The load on suspension forces the reel mount to go down. If the shipping rod is installed, the reel mount
may not be bottomed out.
3. Place a C–clamp between the reel mount and the cross strut and tighten to push reel mount down.
Do not overtighten; very little force is needed.
4. Loosen the two eccentric rod bolts so that the eccentric rod can be turned with a wrench. There is a
black mark on the end of the eccentric rod showing the highest point of the eccentricity.
5. Adjust the eccentric rod position (and thus the height of the safety drum ratchet) while turning the
safety drum back and forth slightly until the pawl makes a sound as it hits the safety drum ratchet.
6. Continue adjusting the eccentric rod until the pawl just catches the ratchet.
Note: The catching will only occur as the ratchet turns into the pawl.

This adjustment determines safety system latch up condition threshold for the specific load on the main
counterpoise cable. From this condition, the safety springs are backed out slightly to achieve the optimal
spring setting.
3-2 Procedure
1. Turn vertical lock off
2. Move column to full down position.
3. Move column up 12 inches (30.5 cm).
4. Turn vertical lock on.
5. Place an easily visible mark (tape) on one of the moving telescoping columns to identify the vertical
position.

10. Repeat Step 8. and 9. CAREFULLY, until the column cannot be moved down more than one inch
(25 mm) from 12 inches (30.5 cm) above full down position at slow speed with the vertical lock off.
This may require several repetitions. The clicking sound while pushing down will become more
pronounced as the latch–up threshold is approached.
The safety system is at the threshold of latch–up for the specific load on the main counterpoise
cable.
11. Carefully turn both adjusting screws two full turns counterclockwise.
12. Reinstall and tighten the 2 jam nuts. Ensure the adjustment screws do not turn while tightening the
jam nuts.
1. Identify the labels needed according to the room configuration and the customers preference on SID
distances. The labels are grouped according to their application. See Illustration 2–5.
2. Apply the labels to the outside of the bracket being sure that the hole in the label lines up with the
set screw hole in the bracket.
3. Place magnets in holes with marking dots facing up and away from the label according to the codes
listed in the Proteus System Manual.
4. Insert one of the thinner magnets into the slot at the opposite end of the set screw, regardless of
which code is selected. This magnet activates the sensor circuit to read the codes produced by the
other four wider magnets. Refer to illustration 2–5.
Note: For systems with manual collimator, use the same manual collimator code for any SID location. This
code will make the detent lock actuate.
5. Position the OTS at the correct SID locations for each target and mark the sensor location, on the
rail or bridge, directly above the arrow head. See illustration 2–6.

6. Snap magnet bracket on rail at this location, verify that the bracket is flat and tight against the rail.
Apply Loctite 242 to the set screw and insert the set screw, torquing it tightly but making sure not to
over torque the screw.
7. Repeat this procedure for each SID location.
When the OTS sensor passes over a bracket, the green LED will illuminate indicating that the
magnetic code has been detected.
Note: The code for “CENTER” is to be used for table or chest stand center or both. The system does not
respond to these locations, as far as Auto–collimation is concerned. These center locations must be
coded so that the locks will actuate.

This chapter covers service procedures which provides information for making adjustments to the OTS
suspension after installation. It also provides service and repair so that the equipment functions properly
and meets the functional check specifications.
If the OTS suspension fails to meet any of these Functional Checks, then the specific reference to this
direction should be followed, and the service adjustment made, to correct the “out of specification”
condition.
The service charts of this direction are intended to be guides to the most common problems that arise,
and do not cover all situations.

Referring to Illustrations 4–10 and 4–11, there are two compression springs G that are compressed by
adjusting a plunger H to dimension D. The greater the load F the more the springs should be compressed
so dimension D increases.
When the tension in the main cable decreases, because either one or two counterpoise torsion springs
have broken or the main cable has broken, the safety springs will push Reel Mount A upward, rotating it
about point C and engaging pawl E with the ratchet on the safety drum. This engagement prevents
rotation of the safety drum and the load F is transferred to the safety cable.

From the curves it can be seen that the torque provided by the two springs is exactly opposite the torque
of the “load” times the radius of the tapered counterpoise cam, so that the net effect is zero torque and a
counterpoised condition. As the load is changed, the cable must be relocated on the cam to use a
different radius so that the new load times the new radius is equal (but opposite) to the torque output of
the two springs.
There are two fittings swaged onto the main cable. One at the cable end and another located 22.64
(57.51 cm) from the end. Since the ADVANTX system uses a MX 100 tube, the end cable fitting is
anchored in the tube support. The second swaged cable fitting is used when a MX 75 tube is mounted on
the OTS hanger.
Since the MX 100 is heavier than the MX 75, there will be more cable on the tapered cam and it will be
using the cam on the smaller radii. The cable location on the cam is determined by the load to be applied
to the counterpoise system. The various components loads as part of the system load, are as in Table
4–6.

On the face of the cam, there is a series of numbers stamped from 1 through 7. These numbers indicate
the number of the cam groove. Refer to Illustration 4–27.
The cam, which starts at the zero turn and extends to the eighth turn, has eight full turns during which the
radius of the groove is changing continuously. Refer to Illustration 4–27. After the eighth turn, the radius
remains constant and the cable groove widens out on the outside diameter to form a wide groove in
which excess cable may be stored.

2. Drop a plumb line from the bridge. With the tube unit facing forward and at the top of telescopic
column travel, center it with the plumb line. Mark the bridge with reference to some point on the
telescopic column to be sure the column does not change its transverse position or use the lock to
hold it in place. Now move the tube unit to the bottom of its travel and record the deviation of its
center from the plumb line. Repeat this check with the tube unit facing the rear. Shim between the

HERE
Check that the central X–ray beam is vertical by placing a level along one of the extension cylinder tracks
on the bottom of the collimator. If not level, loosen the gooseneck mounting screws slightly (gooseneck
must be rotated to gain access to each screw), insert shim above detent ring as required and retighten
the screws. Refer to Direction 46–014704, Laser Alignment, Section 5 – Tube Yoke, for complete
alignment procedure.
In the process of shimming at the detent ring, the ring may rotate a slight amount. This will cause the
gooseneck to detent at some position other than at the proper position, 90 degrees to the columns. To be
sure the detent ring is correct, turn on collimator light and collimate down to a small spot at the foot of the
table. Mark the spot with a crosshair and then move the collimator longitudinally to the center of the table.
Next, angulate the tube unit and collimator toward the mark crosshair at the foot of the table. If the
collimator light spot does not align with the crosshair, readjust the position of the detent ring.
