- the safety notes RA0-000.012.40... in Register 2 of the
POLYMOBIL III file,
- and the general safety notes contained in Register 2 of the TI
binder.
• After the system has been switched off, a dc voltage of approx.
300 V is applied for the main inverter.
On D920 the yellow LED V35 lights up.
Within approx. 1.5 minutes the voltage drops to approx. 12 V;
LED V35 goes out.
• Checks and adjustments that must be carried out with radiation
switched on are marked with the symbol
When performing work procedures which are marked with this
symbol, radiation protective clothing must be worn.
• Connect the POLYMOBIL III only to a power source (power outlet) meeting the
standards of VDE 0107 or the usual local standards.
• Before working on the open POLYMOBIL III switch OFF the unit with the power switch at
the control panele and unplug the power cable.
• Before removing or inserting PC boards, switch off the generator; in doing so, observe
the ESD regulations.

Prerequisites 1 - 3
Replacing damaged or missing screws 1
• Damaged or missing screws must only be replaced by steel screws as specified in the
installation drawings that conform to DIN 267 and have the specified tensile strength.
CAUTION
All Allen screws must have a tensile strength rating of 8.8.
Cleaning 1
• The unit must always be switched off or disconnected before cleaning.
• Use only water or a luke warm mixture of a household cleaner diluted with water to clean
the unit.
• Do not use an abrasive or organic solvents or cleaning agents containing solvents such
as gasoline used for cleaning purposes, alcohol or stain remover. Do not spray water on
the unit.
• For further information, refer to the Operating Instructions "Cleaning/Disinfecting".

• If the deviation is higher, loosen the 4 Allen screws slightly (arrows/Fig. 5/Fig. 6) and
move the collimator accordingly.
Then, tighten the screws at the collimator (arrows/Fig. 5/Fig.6) again.
• Repeat the check and, if necessary, adjust the collimator again until the deviation
between the light field and the radiation field is within the admissible tolerance
(< 1,6 cm).

• Unlock the support arm (1/Fig. 7) and release the turning knob (2/Fig. 7).
Without any accessories attached, the support arm should be easy to move across the
entire movement range and stop in any position.
Readjusting the counterweight with accessories attached 4
If the support arm does not stop in any position with accessories attached, readjust the
spring tension for the counterweight.
• Take the cover (3/Fig. 7) off the stand.
• Completely release the additional brake on the support arm (2/Fig. 7).
• Move the support arm into the horizontal position.
• Tighten the screw by means of a 17mm fork wrench (4/Fig. 8).
Adjust the spring tension so that the support arm is balanced in the horizontal position,
i.e. the forces needed for lifting and lowering the tube unit are equal.
