Job Card D/R A248 - Force Sensor
Set DIP switch 4 to ON and DIP switches 1, 2, 3 to OFF. When the Paddle Holder is reassembled but
before installing covers, install a standard compression paddle.
1. Power on the Gantry and see if yellow LED DS2 next to the DIP switches is illuminated.
• If DS2 is NOT illuminated, the correct DIP switch setting has been found, and this procedure is
complete.
• If DS2 is illuminated, power off the Gantry and set DIP switch 2 to ON and DIP switches 1, 3, 4 to
OFF, then go step 2.
2. Power on the Gantry and see if DS2 is illuminated.
• If DS2 is NOT illuminated, the correct DIP switch setting has been found, and this procedure is
complete.
• If DS2 is still illuminated, power off Gantry and set DIP switch 1 to ON and DIP switches 2, 3, 4 to
OFF, then go step 3.
3. Power on the Gantry and see if DS2 is illuminated.
• If DS2 is NOT illuminated the correct DIP switch setting has been found, and this procedure is
complete.
• If DS2 is still illuminated the Paddle Holder Board is probably faulty or possibly the newly installed
Force Sensor is faulty.
TIP: use a 1.5 mm allen key or a similar small object to set the DIP switch positions.
Note:
When red LED DS3 next to the connector J1 is illuminated it indicates that Force Sensor is wire
disconnected or that the Force Sensor needs changing.
4. Once the Paddle Holder Board DIP switches are set as required, reinstall the Paddle Holder cover
(refer to Job Card PHY A044 - Remove/Reinstall Gantry Covers on page
6-4 Check the Compression Movement
Check that both sets of compression/decompression pedals and the manual compression knobs located
on the paddle holder all function correctly. That is, the paddle moves up or down in response to each
control.
