1. General
This guide describes how to install and customize the Network ID Camera, herein
called NIC. It is assumed that a Siemens specified setup is loaded as ”Customer Default”
If a NIC shall be connected to a Local Network (LAN), a NICLan Module is needed, part no. 11101101 - Refer to the documentations included into the NICLan
Module package.
If a NIC shall be connected to a DICOM server, a DICOM installation kit is required in order to have DICOM software r unning in the NICLan Module , pa rt no.
11101102 - Refer to documentation included in the Triacon DICOM package.
2. Prerequisite
Verify that the following items are available/installed at the mammomat:
Siemens MAT-No. Siemens VBLO-No. Description
66 26 001 44 94 535 Printer connection kit
63 96 704 44 94 543 Isolation kit
65 61 521 44 94 568 ”Triacon” Adapter cable
3. Unpacking
The box contains the NIC, a power cord, a converting cabel (to convert AUX1 from a
RJ12 to a D-Sub 9 connector), an operator’s manual and this document. The keyboard
should be equipped with the country-specific keycaps.
Notice
Verify that the correct camera version was delivered concerning the used cassette
type. A standard camera handles all known cassettes with standard C1 or C1N window except Fuji cassettes with telescopic lid. Two versions are currently available:
• Standard
• Fuji - Fuji cassettes with telescopic lid, for example type EC-AWU.
4. Installation
The Network ID Camera is classified as a Medical Device and fulfills
EN 60950.
According to European Safety Regulations for Med ical Equipments, the following
conditions must be fulfilled:
- If the camera is operated within a distance of 1.5 m from the patient, it must be
connected to the equipotential equalization device (E2D).
E2D with cable must be provided by the customer.
The purpose of the E2D is to ensure that all medical and other equipments are
connected to the same ground potential. If, on installation, your Service Provider
connected the camera to the equipotential busbar using the equipotential bonding plug, this connection may not be interrupted, i.e. you ar e not allowed to pul l
off the cable coming from the equipotential busbar (see illustration bellow).

- If the camera is connected to a Medical Equipment according to EN 60601-1(
e.g. safety ground or data connections) the safety standard EN 60601-1-1 has
to be met and documented.

Place the unit on a steady shelf or table. If t he camera is operated in a mobile unit, like
mammography screening buses, it should be fastene d to the surface wit h two screws
mounted from the inside of the NIC.
The power cord should be connected to the power receptacle on the backside of the
camera and to a wall outlet.

The communication cable should be connected to the AUX1 connector on the back of
the camera and to the Mammomat via the converting cable supply by Triacon.

5. Setup
The NIC has a standard Siemens setup installed. If no changes of this layout shall be
made the only thing to do is to change the hospital name, or delete it if not used. Also,

be changed.
From serial no. 6700 a ”Customer default” function is implemented. This
means that all setup parameters can be res tored to its de fault valu es, i.e.
same status as at delivery.
For details, please refer to “Restore a Setup” on page 9.
The standard setup gives an image on the film located at the bottom left corner
(readable).The layout for Mammomat3000 looks like this.

send data from the Mammomat. If all works as expected a number of values, such as
kV, mAs etc., should appear on the display. If no data appear on the display, please
refer to section ’Trouble shooting’.
Now, enter patient data into the Birthdata and Name fields. Mark a film and develop it.
If the marking is to dark or light use one of the following two methods to correct this.

For fine tune use the operator accessible exposure settings window. This window is
accessed from the patient data window by pressing SHIFT+F4.
A higher value means longer exposure time according to the following:
123456789
0,5 0,6 0,71 0,84 1 1,19 1,44 1,68 2
The actual exposure time is the basic expos ure time multiplied by a factor. Fac tory default 5 (factor = 1). The basic exposure time is set under ’Setup\Picture settings\Settings’, please refer to method two below.
Note that this adjustment is intended for the user to fine tune the density of the marking. If a high (8 or 9) or low (1 or 2) value is required it is recommended that method
number two is used.
Under ’Setup\Picture settings\Settings’ the basic exposure time can be adjusted.
The exposure time can be a value between 10 and 65535. Default value is 100ms.

9. Communication problems
If no data is received from the Mammomat (i.e. no data i s displayed on the NIC) a built
in serial analyzer can be used to determine whether any data is received or not. This
analyzer is connected to the HOST communication port which means that the communication cable from the Mammomat must be moved to this connector.
HOST connector
Enter Setup\Serial analyzer.
Serial analyzer

The soft-keys are used as follows:
- Refresh, press F1 to update the window.
- Exit, press F4 to exit the analyzer
- Clear Buf, press SHIFT+F1 to erase all data in the analyzer.
Remember to move the communication cable back to the AUX1 connector after
