In the Federal Republic of Germany, the electrical installation of rooms for medical purposes must conform to the provisions VDE Standard 0107. In all other countries the national requirements have to be observed. Check the installation layout plan.
During the installation it is important to check that all protective ground wire connections
provided by the manufacturer are properly made before the equipment is started up.
The protective ground wires between the individual system components and the power
supply are connected as shown in the wiring diagram.
Regulation of professional associations concerning safety and accident prevention has to
be observed. No work may be performed on parts carrying a voltage higher than 42 V.
If it is necessary to turn on the power for execution of movements of the equipment in the
course of installation procedure, it must be shut down immediately after completion of
these movements.

The patient armrests are not part of standard delivery.
Install the armrests to the left and right hand side of the Bucky-unit with 2 screws each.
2.7 Installation of counterbalance
For all known Bucky-units the columns are weight compensated. Only in case of installing a
special light Bucky-unit it may be necessary to install additional counterbalances.
Install the front panel, put in the cassette tray with a cassette for lungs exposures and install
all other options.
With opened brake handle the Bucky-unit should have a slightly upwards movement.

These number of counter- balances has to be taken into the Bucky-unit.
The column will be supplied with installed brake handle at the left hand side of the column.
If the application requires the handling from right hand side the brake handle has to be
hanged first. In case of later reconstruction the Bucky-unit has to be remounted first. The
remounting should be done in opposite sequence as the installation and is described at
section 2.

Remount all parts in mentioned sequence.
Install the brake handle in the opposite position on the right hand side. (Position the
rounded edge correct).

Check the easy movement of the brake function.
Note: Depending on the installed Bucky-unit the grid movement inside the Bucky-unit has
to be changed too.
The appropriate information’s should be withdrawn from the technical documentation
of the Bucky-unit.

hand side of the column. If the application requires the handling from right hand side the
handles have to be changed first. In case of later reconstruction the Bucky-unit has to be
remounted first. To exchange the tilting handle Bucky-unit has to be remounted first. The
remounting should be done in opposite sequence as the installation and is described at

function.
Note: Depending on the installed Bucky-unit the grid movement inside the Bucky-unit has
to be changed too. The appropriate information’s should be withdrawn from the tech-
nical documentation of the Bucky-unit.
3.3 Installation of the spacer version V
If the optional spacer should be part of delivery it has to be installed. If it should be installed
later the column must be reinstalled and placed to the floor. The Bucky-unit has to be remounted before the spacer may be installed.
Before the column will be reinstalled the safety fixing guard at the counterbalance has to be
installed first.
The remounting should be done in opposite sequence as the installation and is described at
section 2.
Mark the position of the brake wire rope at the fixing point and remove the wire rope.

Pull the counterbalance at the rope until it is accessible.
Reinstall the rope holder (Fig.5.2.1 Pos.32).
Loosen the safety nut from the counterweight plate (Pos.35).
Put on the additional counterweight plates (5,2 Kg).
Install the safety nut and the rope holder again.
Insert the counterbalance again, secure it and install the rope-roller again.
Wire ropes have to be exchanged after 3 years of operation or if:
there are 12 or more broken wires in any 100 mm section.
or there are 3 and more broken wires in any 10 mm section.
If the check of a wire rope reveals one broken strand the customer has to be notified that
any further operation endangers the safety of patient and operator so that the unit should
not be used until the defective wire rope has been replaced.
At both versions the column must not be re-installed completely to exchange the rope.
At the version V the Bucky-unit and the base plate must be re-installed to exchange the
rope.
At the version VK the fixing point for the rope will be accessible if the Bucky-unit will be tilt
to the horizontal position and the cover has been re-installed.
Re-install the cover
Move the Bucky-unit until the tapping hole in the counterweight and the bore in the column
are congruence.
Fix the counterbalance by a M12 bolt and washer.
Lift the Bucky-unit until the rope relieves and fix the Bucky-unit in this position by a wooden
block.
Loosen the wire rope at the Bucky carrier side.
Loosen all parts (Fig.11) in mentioned sequence and remove the rope-roller. (The fixing bolt
of the rope at the counterbalance side will be accessible now.)
Loosen the rope at the counterbalance and exchange the rope.
Install the rope-roller again.
Install the rope at the carrier. ( Pay attention to washers and parts at both fixing points and
check that the rope safety part is installed correctly.
Remove the wooden block.
Remove the bolt at the counterbalance.
Check that the function is smooth. Install the covers.
The maintenance according to the attached maintenance instructions has been carried
out. Any parts replaced were original spare parts as shown on the list.
