Safety light beams
The two photocell lights on the swivel arm protect the patient and operator from system
movement by either slowing or stopping movement when the lights are interrupted.
• Beam 1: Disables all movements (except for arm up movement). All movements are
enabled once the beam is cleared.
• Beam 2: Detects the patient on the table and automatically activates Low Speed
movement. Also stops the swivel arm from lowering below the table top and prevents
arm rotation.
