Mounting The Overhead Handle - AGFA DR 400 User Manual

Mounting the overhead handle

Take care that the overhead handle does not collide with the ceiling when
moving the bucky upward manually. For automatic movement, a sensor
detects if the overhead handle is inserted and the movement is coordinated
accordingly.
Do not insert the handle oriented parallel to the bucky. The handle may
collide with the wall stand column.
To mount and position the overhead handle:
1. Insert the handle on the left or on the right side of the bucky frame.
2. Grip the lower part of the handle.
3. Pull the handle forward
4. Adjust the angle.
5. Move the handle back to fix the position.
Figure 62: Overhead handle
Movement of the X-ray tube head is restricted in the neighbourhood of the
handle, to avoid collisions. To allow free movement of the tube head, the
handle must be unmounted from the wall stand. It is not sufficient to turn it
90 degrees out of the way.
CAUTION:
The overhead handle can bear up to 20 kg. It is not intended to
hold the whole weight of a patient.
