CATHODE CABLE ROUTING
FROM TUBE TO FIRST CLAMP
There are seven cables mounted on the horizontal arm and column. These must be
carefully routed and mounted in order for the equipment to be operated with maxi
mum flexibility and to prevent binding or jamming of cables which would restrict posi
tioning the X-ray tube.
Cables:
- Cathode - X-ray tube to transformer located in base of unit.
- Anode - X-ray tube to transformer located in base of unit.
- Collimator - Collimator to terminal box located on vertical column assembly
- X-ray Control - X-ray tube to terminal box
- Horizontal Arm Brake - Horizontal arm to terminal box
- Control - Terminal box to base unit
- Upper Column Brake - Upper brake to terminal box
When connecting the anode or cathode cables to the tube or transformer, see Direc
tion 2196272-100, High Voltage Cable Installation and Troubleshooting Procedures.
1. The cathode cable starts at the tube cathode connector, runs through the yoke,
crosses underneath the opposite side of the yoke to clamp point K." See Illustra
tion 10-3.
