Introduction
Pre-installation - Using Mylars to Drill Anchoring Holes
Before the planned delivery date, you must prepare the site and check it as
described in detail in Chapter 3: Site Inspection Check List & Layout Information.
In addition, to shorten the time required for the actual installation, we strongly
recommend that you prepare anchoring holes for the Gantry as described in this
section. Use the Mylar templates provided to mark the points at which the Gantry
and the Couch will be connected to the floor.
Another procedure for marking holes for the Couch is described in Chapter 5:
Positioning and Anchoring System Units.
Positioning the Gantry and Couch Mylars
To ensure that you drill the holes in the right places, position the Mylars as
follows:
1.Position the Gantry Mylar template so that the duct markings on the Mylar
exactly overlay the actual ducts in the floor. Then use adhesive tape to stick
it to the floor.
2.Position the Couch Mylar template so that it is perpendicular to the Gantry
Mylar. Attach the Couch Mylar to the Gantry Mylar with adhesive tape
NOTE
Make sure that the Mylars are flat on the floor before marking the holes. Measure
the diagonals to verify that the Mylars are flat and taut.
3.Mark the positions of the drilling holes by making a small hole with a
marking tool and a hammer.
4.Remove the Mylars.
5.Draw a circle around each hole with a marking pen.

Service Precautions
Precautions Against Mechanical Hazards
WARNING
Rotating machinery— never service the rotating frame when or if rotational
movement is enabled. Failure to comply may result in equipment damage, serious
injury or death to service personnel.
The following precautions prevent mechanical hazards:
1. The Rotor of the Mx8000 contains heavy parts, such as the High Voltage
Power Supply, DMS, etc., and is perfectly balanced. When you disturb this
balance by removing a part from it, it will start an uncontrolled mechanical
motion to reach a new equilibrium point. This motion cannot be stopped and
may injure the service engineer.
Therefore, if you intend to remove a unit, proceed as follows:
a. Bring the Rotor to the position in which the unit can be removed.
491-7181-3501Mx8000 Systems Installation Manual
b. When the Rotor is not rotating, engage the rotor locking device (located
on the front side of the Gantry at the 2 o’clock position).
c. Do not release the rotor locking device until the unit (or its replacement)
is returned and fixed securely to the Rotor.
2. In its idle state, the Mx8000 rotates most of the time; consider all units
mounted on the rotor as flying units. If you fail to fasten units to the Rotor
securely or leave loose screws, units may detach from the Rotor and cause
serious injury.
After servicing any unit, verify that all units and screws are attached securely
in their correct places.
3. The Rotor has no fixed idle position, and even when it is not generating
X-Rays it may start rotating. An uncontrolled, electricity-driven rotation may
cause serious injuries. For this reason, two microswitches in the front cover
disable rotation each time the front cover is opened. In addition, another
switch (S301) on the inner left side of the Gantry also disables rotation.
Do not bypass the two front cover switches unless no person is near the
Gantry, and it is absolutely necessary.
Never approach the Gantry when or if rotational movement is enabled.

2-4
491-7181-3501Mx8000 Systems Installation Manual
Safety
Precautions Against Electrical Hazards
The following precautions prevent electrical hazards:
1. Being a continuous rotating scanner means that the power is transmitted to
the rotating part by mechanical slip rings. Over the slip rings there are line voltages. Once you remove the rear cover, you may be in contact with line
voltages.
CAUTION
Front end electronics is energized through the sliprings even when you switch
off the system.
Therefore, before you remove the rear cover, to avoid any electrical danger,
switch off all circuit breakers on the Power Distribution Cabinet (PDC), and on the
main power supply to the Mx8000.
2. The Computer Rack and the Operating Console receive power from an
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) located in the Power Distribution
Cabinet (PDC). This means that parts inside these units continue to receive
line voltages, even after the console or the various circuit breakers are
switched off.
Disconnect the Rack and Console power cables before accessing these units.
3. Line voltages are always present in the Gantry’s left leg. Therefore, make
sure that the left leg cover is always closed, unless otherwise necessary for
service.
4. Remember that the PDC is energized even when the system is OFF.
Therefore, always keep the door of the PDC closed. When you must service
the PDC, first disconnect the power supply.
The system has large capacitors. Therefore, wait for a few minutes after
disconnecting the power to the system before servicing the high voltage (HV)
system on the Rotor and in the PDC.
Electrical Installations
Electrical installations of medically used rooms must comply with the
requirements of each country. Follow the regulations from the installation sheets
for the specific project.
Installation of Electromedical Systems and Equipment
All work must be carried out in accordance with the technical documentation.
Philips Medical Systems. Confidential and Proprietary information. Refer to Title Page.
2-5
Service Precautions
Make sure that all protective ground wires provided by the manufacturer are
connected properly before powering the equipment. This applies, for example, to
all metallic covers which may develop a dangerous contact voltage in case of a
fault. They must always be connected to the protective ground wire. To ensure
this, the connection between these covers and the protective ground wire must be
made with screws and contact washer or via the protective ground wires provided.
The protective ground wires must be connected between the system components
and the power supply as shown in the wiring diagram.
In the interest of protection for our personnel, the protective ground wires must be
installed prior to first switching on the product/system, as well as after completing
all work, before turnover to the customer, in accordance with the product
documentation.
491-7181-3501Mx8000 Systems Installation Manual
Means “Terminal for connection of equipment protective
ground wire”.
Personal Protection Measures (Occupational Safety)
The legally relevant and internal regulations and specifications concerning
protection of labor and accident prevention must be observed, primarily in the
interest of the persons performing the work. The notes below are given as
additional information.
Working When Connected to Voltages
Do not perform any work on current-carrying parts (>50 V ~ or 120 V).
Turn OFF energy to the system by means of the EMERGENCY OFF switch.
This prohibition does not apply for measuring and adjustment procedures. Be
careful when performing these procedures. Use only tools and measuring
instruments which are suitable for the respective procedure.
Test and adjustment points must be accessible without any risk of injury to the
personnel. If this is not possible, switch OFF the system.
If voltage must be applied during an operation, e.g., to perform unit movements,
take every precaution especially when working with moving and rotating parts.
Turn OFF energy to the unit immediately afterwards.
WARNING
When performing work within the danger area of products, any involuntary unit
movements must be prevented by previously actuating the service switch or the
