WARNING NOTICE Safety precautions for use and operation of x-ray producing equipment X-RAY PRODUCING EQUIPMENT CAN BE DANGEROUS TO BOTH THE OPERATOR AND PERSONS WITHIN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY UNLESS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE STRICTLY OBSERVED. Exposure to excessive quantities of X-radiation may be dangerous to health. Users must avoid exposing any parts of their person, not only to the direct beam, but also to secondary or scattered radiation that occurs when an x-ray beam strikes or has passed through any material.
INTRODUCTION The SCANMAX 25 is a fluoroscopic X-ray cabinet specifically designed for the detection of explosive devices, hate mail and other contraband material concealed in incoming mail and packages. Items are placed in the inspection chamber and simply by pressing a push button switch a high resolution image is displayed on the video monitor.
UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS The installation of the SCANMAX 25 is relatively simple and requires no special tools. It is shipped as a whole in a sturdy ply wood container mounted on a wooden pallet. The shipping crate is designed to withstand normal handling during overseas shipments. Despite these safeguards, damage may occur in transit.
Fitting of Handles Handles have been provided for the location of the units at the time of installation, when they require to be dismounted from their wheeled base or for relocation of the unit. The handles are universal in that they are designed to fit any of the range of Scanmax units. The outer holes are for the Scanmax 20 the centre for the Scanmax 25 and the inner holes for the Scanmax 15.
PRE INSTALLATION GUIDE WARNING: To ensure operator safety, radiation emission levels must be checked before putting the SCANMAX into operation (See page 20) Prior to first time operation, it is essential for the safety of the operator and for the long life of the equipment that the following instructions are strictly observed.
INSTALLATION GUIDE Take unit out of box (following the instructions in the previous section) and place on a strong table/base, or the trolley if provided, capable of supporting up to 200 kgs. Take extreme care when lifting as the unit is very heavy (160 kgs/352 lbs). Use a lifting trolley or fork lift truck.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS The SCANMAX 25 utilises an X-ray generator that is lead shielded against radiation emissions. The generation of X-rays stops automatically as soon as the door is opened, accidentally or otherwise. This high level of safety conforms to the strictest protective measures against radiation. The SCANMAX 25 is inspected, and the results documented, prior to shipment to ensure that radiation emission levels are well within the legal requirements.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: Radiation hazard can result if this unit is operated improperly. Below is a list of common ways in which this might occur. This is not an exhaustive list and final responsibility for safe operation is rests with the user. Never operate with the safety interlocks defeated.
Scanna are non residual. That is the x-rays are produced electrically and as soon as the power is removed from the x-ray generator there are no x-rays in the system. The following safety measures and devices are included in the equipment supplied by Scanna MSC. Low x-ray dose.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Switch on mains isolating switch on the rear panel. Note that the front panel “POWER ON “ indicator on the front control panel illuminates. Insert the key into the key switch and turn a quarter turn to the right ensure that the TV monitor is turned on.
