PI-1207R5 9
Ceiling Suspension
Pre-Installation

3.2 STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS

Prior to beginning installation, it is recommended to inspect the site and verify

that the X-ray room complies with Pre-installation requirements for the Ceiling
Suspension such as:

 Raceways for equipment installation.

 A plan distribution is strongly recommended prior equipment installation.

Take into account dimensions, travels, operation and passing through
areas. Minimum room space required to allow installation and travels of
the equipments depends on:

G Longitudinal Rails from 3358 mm (132.2”) to 6000 mm (236.22”).

G Transversal Rails from 2000 mm (78.74”) to 3500 mm (137.80”).

G Ceiling height. The recommended height is 2700 mm (106.30”). A

heigh up to 2800 mm (110.23”) can be used, but, in that case, the
Ceiling Suspension cannot be aligned with the Wall Stand at the
lowest part of the Wall Stand travel.

G The needed distance between the Cable Rail and the Wall must
be, at least, of 102 mm (4”).

3.2.1 DOOR SIZE REQUIREMENTS

Minimum door sizes also apply to the hallway and elevator.

The minimum door height must be 2030 mm (80”) and door width must be 1000
mm (39.3”) to take delivery and install system based on a 2600 mm (102.3”)
corridor.

The elevator door must meet with the above door requirements and the
minimum depth of the elevator measured from the back wall to the elevator door
must be 2150 mm (84.6”) to transport the Main Assembly and other
components of the System, except the Ceiling Suspension Rails.

Note . The above dimensions are calculated as per dimensions of the

shipping crates.

3.2.2 FLOOR AND WALL REQUIREMENTS

Not applicable.

3.2.3 CEILING REQUIREMENTS

Note . There should not be anything mounted in the ceiling (i.e. lights,
A/C returns, etc.) between the stationary rails. This is because the
Ceiling Suspension may come into contact with those
ceiling-mounted items during normal use.

Stationary rails are designed for top (ceiling) mounting. Rails can be ordered
and are supplied in 660.4 mm (26”) increments between 3358.4 mm (132.22”)
and 6000 mm (236.22”), totaling five different sizes. The choice of length
depends on room size, configuration and the possible presence of obstructions.

Complete details of room dimensions must be known when planning an

installation. Work with the architect or building engineer and obtain approval
from the customer before proceeding with the layout plan.

Methods of support that will permit attachment to structural steel or through

bolts in concrete construction should be favored. Do not use anchors in direct
tension.

PI-1207R5 11
Ceiling Suspension
Pre-Installation

The recommended height is 2700 mm (106.30”). A heigh up to 2800 mm

(110.23”) can be used, but, in that case, the Ceiling Suspension cannot be
aligned with the Wall Stand at the lowest part of the Wall Stand travel.

Note . Following distances can vary  10 mm (0.39”) depending on the

tube.

 The distances between the Focal Spot and the floor, with a 2700 mm
(106.30”) ceiling height are:

G minimum -- 393 mm (15.47”).

G maximum -- 1963 mm (77.28”).

 The distances between the Focal Spot and the ceiling are:

G minimum -- 737 mm (29.01”).

G maximum -- 2307 mm (90.83”)

The ceiling must have a structure which accepts, at least, 500 kg/m (336 lb/ft),
for a safety operation.

For low ceiling height, the stationary rails may be mounted directly to the ceiling
slab or to flush-mounted Unistrut or similar structure. For higher rooms in which
a false ceiling is to be used, the stationary rails may be attached to rigid vertical
members hung from ceiling slab. A supplementary channel may be secured to
the bottom of the vertical members to facilitate provision for mounting holes. A
Unistrut system or equivalent is a convenient type of support to employ.

CEILING WORK MUST BE ABSOLUTELY DONE AS

REQUIRED IN THE NEXT PROCEDURE.

 Make sure that the ceiling structure complies with the Ceiling
recommendations.

 Make sure that the room complies with all the room specifications.

 Make sure that the drilled holes for the Longitudinal Rails comply with the
Ceiling recommendations.

 Make sure that the drilled holes for the Longitudinal Rails comply with the
next specifications: Rails are mounted on Screws M12 and quality 8.8
and 45 mm (1.77”) length; and Nuts M12 class 8.

 156 kg (343.92 lb) load each ceiling point and screw.

 Make sure the alignment of the drilled holes in along each Longitudinal
Rail and between rails are correct.

 Make sure that vertical level of the ceiling is the same along all the
Longitudinal Rails.

 If a Cable Support rail is supplied, its length and part numbers are the
same as those of the Longitudinal Rails. This Rail is a Strut channel
(Unistrut/Alphen Rail). For its fixation, it is recommendable as minimum
to drill the same holes as the drilled before for the Longitudinal Rails.

 Cable Rail Distances. If T means the length of the Transversal Rails, D the
distance between the end of the Transversal Rails and the closer Longitudinal
Rail, a minimum distance A between the Cable Guide Rail, and the closer
Longitudinal Rail must be respected according to the following table:

High voltage and power cables must be separated from other cables. Use a
separate trough in the duct system or use a separate conduit. Minimize cable
length between the line disconnect and the System Cabinet power unit to
reduce voltage regulation problems and wiring costs.

Avoid to pass the wires next to high magnetic field devices (microwaves,
amplifiers, etc.)

4.1.2 CONDUIT

Separate conduits must be used for power and signal wires. These wires must
be kept separate from each other.

Using conduit imposes some important considerations when used with this
system. Of primary concern, the majority of cables used are pre-terminated.
Pre-termination greatly simplifies interconnection but makes cable-pulling
difficult because of the added dimensions of the connectors.

Conduit must be large enough to pass the cable and connector through with all
other cables already in the conduit. Also, the size of the conduit chosen must
allow for future growth. There is the possibility of additional cables being added
later as the system is developed and options are added.

The use of conduit is recommended for cables running overhead between

rooms, especially when a diagonal run provides the shortest cable path.

4.1.3 ELECTRICAL DUCTS

It is important that electrical ducts have separate compartments for power and
signal wires. These wires must be kept separate from each other for proper
system operation.

Electrical ducts have advantages when used with a single room or two (2)
adjacent rooms. Electrical ducts combine cabling in a neat and functional
appearance, with accessibility and room for expansion.

4.1.4 BROADBAND NETWORK CONNECTION FOR REMOTE SERVICE

The Automatic and Autotracking with TFT Control Console equipments are
optionally equipped with Broadband fast Ethernet hardware for Service
diagnostics. The Ceiling Suspensions equipped with Digital Imaging are
capable of placing electronic images on the Hospital image Ethernet Network.
It is the purchasers responsibility to provide the Ethernet connection (rated at
100Mb/sec transfer rate for optimal performance) within 10 meters of the
Suspension.

Note . Only the Automatic and the Autotracking with TFT Control
Console models can be optionally provided with Broadband
Network connection, depending on the customer’s request.

The network connection is made at the Suspension.

 100BaseT network connection is preferred.

 10BaseT network connection is acceptable.

To enable an easier installation and to benefit from remote support (service and
engineering teams), equipments should be Insite connected at installation.

Thus the connectivity solution to implement should be decided during pre

installation and all related data should be available before installation starts.

For all installations make sure that you have at least one RJ45 dedicated to
connect the new equipment on the LAN. In case of Broadband, this connection
will also be used for the remote service of the equipment.

For each solution selected by the customer the pre-installation checklist must
be fulfilled by site IT manager in order to get connectivity information (site IT
manager contacts, IP address...) available at installation.

In case Broadband is not available: Modem. A dedicated phone line using a

RJ11 used only for the connection to a modem must be located at 1 m maximum
from the operator Control Console. This line will be a direct classical phone line.

4.1.5 SYSTEM INTERCONNECTIONS

System interconnect cables are described in the General Wiring Schematics

shipped with the system. These documents specify all interconnections
between components within the system and its options.

For specific interconnections maps and connection details, refer to the Service
Manual shipped with the system.

SECTION 5 ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

To ensure proper operation of the Ceiling Suspension:

 Size feeder and ground wires as per this document.

 Ensure and maintain input mains voltage to specification. Ensure that

the earth ground resistance of the installation (hospital/clinic) is
lower than 10.

The electrical requirements in this document (wire sizes, etc.) relating to the
Ceiling Suspension power and Power Line are the recommended specification.

TO AVOID THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, THIS

EQUIPMENT MUST ONLY BE CONNECTED TO A SUPPLY
MAINS WITH PROTECTIVE EARTH.

The installation should comply with all the electrical

requirements indicated in this document. These
requirements should be upgraded if Local Standards were
more stringent.

5.2 RECOMMENDED WIRE SIZE

Correct sizing of the feeder wires is critical to proper Ceiling Suspension

operation. The recommended wire size is the same for all Ceiling Suspension
power, line voltage and distances from distribution transformer to the
equipment. The wire size is 1.5 mm2 AWG16 and 20 m long.

5.3 SAFETY DEVICES

Every installation must be provided with a main line disconnect device (Circuit
Breaker/Thermomagnetic Breaker) and the remote disconnect devices
required at all Control Consoles that are not located next to the line safety
switch.

Devices such as Safety Switch / Emergency Switch, Warning Light, and a Door
Interlock Switch should be supplied and installed by the customer. (Refer to
Illustration 5-1).

SAFETY SWITCH / EMERGENCY SWITCH

The main Safety Switch should be installed in the Room Electrical Cabinet
(Main Disconnect) close to the Ceiling Suspension and provided with light
indicators for “Power On / Off”. It should be used for main disconnection of the
whole System and located in an accessible place where it can be seen and
controlled during operation and service.

Other Emergency Switches should be installed in accessible locations in the

room (near the main entrance door or the Control Console) for use in an
emergency. They should be connected to the Room Electrical Cabinet (Room
Disconnect) so that they cut power to the Generator when they are activated.

The rating of these switches should be: 10 A, 500 VAC, NC.

SECTION 7 ROOM LAYOUT

7.1 RADIATION PROTECTION

Because X-ray equipment produces radiation, you may need to take special
precautions or make special site modifications. The manufacturer does not
make recommendations regarding radiation protection. It is the purchaser’s
responsibility to consult a radiation physicist for advisement on radiation
protection in X-ray rooms.

7.2 CLINICAL ACCESS

Make sure that the room is planned with the following clinical access
requirements:

 Provide easy access to the equipments.

 Clinicians at the patient table must be able to communicate with

assistants in the control area.

 Operators in the control area must have easy access to the Operator
Control Console. However, position the controls (including
handswitches) so the operator cannot take exposures while looking
around or standing outside the control booth’s lead glass window.

 Consult customer on the number and location of nonelectrical lines (air,

oxygen, vacuum, water, etc.) in the radiographic room.

7.3 SERVICE ACCESS

Allow appropriate space for service access of the equipment.
