Verifying Ultimate Limit Switches - Philips CARDIOMD Service Manual

Procedure
Move the detector as far downwards as the
clearance to the floor allows, i.e. until the
hand controller LED flashes shortly.
Then move the detector towards the table
until the hand controller LED flashes.
Then rotate the detector clockwise (the tip
of detector 2 coming upwards) until the
LED flashes.
Finally move downwards until the motion
stops.
5. Check min. vertical reading.
6. On the acquisition PC, click the Patient
Load button to return the system to the pa-
tient load position using pre-programmed
motions.
7. On the acquisition PC, click the Collima-
tor Exchange button to place the system in
the collimator exchange position using
pre-programmed motions.
8. Move the detector upwards as far as it will
go. Check max. vertical reading.
9. Move the detector all the way forwards
(over the patient table). Check min. hori-
zontal reading.
10. Rotate the detector clockwise and counter-
clockwise, respectively, as far as it will go.
Check rotational readings.
11. Return the system to the patient load posi-
tion.

Verifying Ultimate Limit Switches

The ultimate switches must be verified/adjusted after the absolute encoders have been calibrated
(see section 4.5.2, page 4-39).
With motion controller software release 7MOT0096-N14 and later, SW8 on the motion controllers
can no longer be used. Therefore, this section provides two procedures for verifying ultimate
switches, one for systems with motion controller software 7MOT0096-N14 and later and one for
systems with older software.
To see the version of the motion controller software, check the contents of the most recent logfile
in the directory
Note. After testing ultimate switches, both motion controllers must be reset and the CardioMD
application software restarted.
