R1 Potentiometer (only VERTIX TOP/MT), Tracking Control 0
Fig. 63: R1 potentiometer

• The R1 potentiometer (1/Fig. 63 / p. 47) is located at the rear of the vertical carriage
(7/Fig. 64 / p. 48).
• The vertical carriage on the Bucky wall stand must be in the reference position; to find
this, move the vertical carriage against the top stop (if the R1 potentiometer is defec-
tive, replace it in this position).
• Connect the Service PC to the processor board in the MULTIX.
• Select the following routine per the SSW:
- Adjustment > Bucky wall stand > Adjustment of the Bucky wall stand potenti-
ometer
• By loosening the set screw on the toothed belt pinion, separate the potentiometer shaft
from the pinion gear.
• Set the zero adjustment by turning the potentiometer shaft.
¹ If the value is within the tolerance (± 2), a signal sounds on the Service PC.

Fig. 64:
• Move the Bucky into the 0° position.
• Place a spirit level on the front panel and check the position.
• To correct, move the Bucky into the 90° position.
• The position of the Bucky can be changed by turning the stop disk (1/Fig. 64 / p. 48) To
do this, slightly loosen the clamping screw (2/Fig. 64 / p. 48) and turn the stop screw
accordingly. Check the position on the spirit lever that has been placed on.

• Tighten the clamping screw (2/Fig. 64 / p. 48) and check the adjustment position in the
0° position; if needed, repeat the adjustment.
Adjusting the S3 / S2 Switches for the 0° / 90° Bucky Positions

• Check play in the switches for (S2) 0° position and (S3) 90° position in the stop posi-
tions.
• The particular switch must actuate positively in the particular position.
• An adjustment of the switch points is possible by bending the switch vanes
(3/Fig. 64 / p. 48).
Catapult Bucky 0°/ 90° Tilt Brake

• The response point of the tilting brake is set to approx. 200 N using the adjustment
screw (5/Fig. 64 / p. 48) for the tension of the Bowden cable.
Control of the Movable Grid (only PRO and TOP) 0
General Settings
For configuration of the DIP switches and jumpers, the Wiring Diagram G051G is defini-
tive:
Set the X4.1-2 "END NOTE" jumper if the Bucky is installed in the VERTIX.
Set the X4.2-3 "NO END NOTE" jumper if the Bucky is installed in the MULTIX.
S3 DIP Switches: D30 (only PRO/TOP)

S3.1 = OFF i.e., automatic mode: defining the lead time for the grid is made in
the SSW. This position must also be selected for the manual MUL-
TIX (with D54), because the lead time is also set in the SSW.
Mixed mode is permissible (see the S3.5 DIP switches)
ON With the man. MULTIX with D55 or VERTIX Solitaire with D55
S3.2 = OFF if grid model 12/40 is used (high speed = installed in the MULTIX)
ON if grid model 17/70 is used (slow speed = installed in the VERTIX)

S3.3 = ON i.e., the transfer rate must be set to 100 kBaud (see the S3.6 DIP
switches).
S3.4 = OFF Plane A means that the Bucky is installed in the MULTIX.
ON Plane B means that the Bucky is installed in the VERTIX.
S3.5 = ON Mixed mode (cassettes in inches/cm) permitted
OFF Mixed mode is not permitted
S3.6 = ON 125 k Baud (ICONOS)
OFF 100 k Baud/ 300 k Baud
The MANUAL MODE programming is relevant in the MULTIX TOP man. system with D55.
The programming of S3.3 to S3.6 has another meaning with the MULTIX TOP man. (see
grid lead time).
S3 DIP Switches: (only MULTIX TOP manual, system without processor)

S3.2 = OFF if grid model 12/40 is used
(high speed = installation in the MULTIX)
ON if grid model 17/70 is used
(slow speed = installation in the VERTIX)
The grid lead time must be set according to the table in Wiring Diagram G051G, Page 2A
for DIP switches S3.3 to 3.7 (only with the manual system).
NOTE The allocation of the grid speed to the grid model being used is
fundamental for exposures that can be evaluated.
With a switch of the grid model (even at a later time), a change of
the grid speed is absolutely required.
Grid Blurring
For every application unit with movable grid, a check must be performed to determine at
which exposure time, tg, grid stripes no longer can be seen on the film.
NOTE Factory setting: Lead time (default) is 34 ms for POLYDOROS

SX/LX/Lite.
if the system is shipped with a POLYDOROS IT, this value must be
changed (as a starting point) to 0 ms.
Procedure
• Select small focus, 80%, 40 kV and middle IONTOMAT chamber at the generator.

• Set and SID of 115 cm.

• Insert an 18 x 24 cm cassette without film.
X • Trigger exposure beginning at 40 kV until exposure times of approx. 3 ms result
(increasing kV value -> exposure time becomes smaller).
• Insert an 18 x 24 cm cassette with film.
X • Trigger exposure at the previously determined kV value.
• Use a magnifier on the light box to determine at which switch time grid stripes no longer
can be seen on the film.
NOTE With the MULTIX TOP manual system without processor, the grid
lead time cannot be changed using the Service PC and must be
checked as described below. The programming must be per-
formed as described previously in the section "Bucky". Grid
stripes must be checked using control exposures and must be
eliminated by changing the programming of S3 (D30 Bucky
table/VERTIX).
• If the grid lead time must be changed, the test setup and the measurement must be per-
formed as defined in (Fig. 65 / p. 52).
The generator lead time can be changed using the Service PC under:
Adjustment > Table > Adjustment of Bucky rate time
(with the TOP man., using DIP switches S3.3 - S3.7)
.
- The time that is set is applicable for both the Bucky in the table and the VERTIX.
- Grid stripes with exposure times of ≥ 3 ms are inadmissible.
Grid Drive
The lead time has been set at the factory to a value of 34 ms.
NOTE The check of the lead time that is entered is performed in the
"Check of Grid Blurring" (with the 12/40 grid and faster grid move-
ment).
The relationship between lead time and grid movement and the problem of grid stripes
associated with it is shown in the following graphic (table and BWS). This example is for
the LX / SX generator in the cassette mode for the film technique.

Fig. 65:
Top chart (Fig. 65 / p. 52): time of grid movement with the time point of radiation release.
Bottom chart (Fig. 65 / p. 52): Enable signal relative to grid movement.
NOTE The programmed lead time applies for both Buckys contained in
the system. If different grid models are used, and thus also grid
speeds, optimization of the lead time makes sense.
No separate check is required for the 17/70 grid.

Example
Very brief exposure times and slow grid speeds (17/70 grid mode) require a lead time of
virtually 0 to position this grid focused to the film.
The lead time can be changed using the Service PC (except for TOP man. with D55).
• For this, select the following routine per the SSW:
- Adjustment > Table > Adjustment of the Bucky rate time

Replacement of the D30 and D31 Board Assemblies 2.7
Fig. 67: Fig. 68:
NOTE Prior to installing a new D30 assembly, clean the catapult Bucky
and remove all foreign substances, e.g. lead markers, from the
insert. The new D31 assembly (1/Fig. 67 / p. 62) must always be
plugged in for correct function of the Bucky, even in manual sys-
tems! For a successful error analysis at the factory, it is also nec-
essary that damage be avoided when removing a defective
assembly.
• When removing and installing the D30 assembly, there is a risk that the conductor
paths on the bottom can be damaged by the mounting screws. Removing and inserting
the assembly in the slot must therefore be done without exerting any force. To ensure
this, slightly lift the catapult Bucky and insert the D30 at an angle into the mounting slot
of the insert (1/Fig. 68 / p. 62).
• The correct DIP positions can be checked with (DIP Switch Settings on the D30 / p. 71).

Alignment of the Optical Reflector Sensors 2.8
Fig. 69: Fig. 70:
• The reflex sensors (1/Fig. 69 / p. 63) U10,U11,U20,U21 on the D30 must be aligned
vertically to the board assembly. If these have been bend during transport or handling,
their vertical alignment must be reestablished.
• In particular, the function of the sensor for detection of the inserted position of the insert
tray (U11; U21) must be checked. Incorrect alignment can lead to failure of format sens-
ing and to blocking of radiation triggering. While checking the function, the IONTOMAT
chamber must be installed, otherwise external light can lead to a malfunction.
• If the version of the catapult Bucky found at the customer's location has a mounting nut
(1/Fig. 70 / p. 63) for the cable channel directly above the reflex sensor, it must be
blackened (e.g. with paint) or, if needed, removed. In newer inserts, this nut is offset to
the reflex sensor.
• Prior to reinstalling the IONTOMAT chamber, check it for damage, e.g. for scratches,
dirt or discoloration, particularly on the bottom.
• If damage is found, replace the IONTOMAT chamber.
NOTE The bottom of the IONTOMAT chamber is used as reflection sur-

face for the photo-electric cells and can lead to errors in format
sensing if there is damage.

Adjusting the D31 Assembly to the Insert Tray 2.9
Fig. 71: Fig. 72:
• To do this, loosely secure the D30 (1/Fig. 71 / p. 64) using the spacer studs on the cata-
pult Bucky.
• Plug the D31 assembly (1/Fig. 72 / p. 64) onto the D30 assembly; when doing so, pay
attention to the relationship of the installation slot for left-hand operation
(2/Fig. 71 / p. 64) (X10/11/12) or right-hand operation (3/Fig. 71 / p. 64) (X20/21/22).
NOTE Installation of the supplied black cover plate for the outlet grid and
the electrical connection are not yet necessary.

• Loosely secure the D31 assembly (1/Fig. 72 / p. 64) in place with 2 screws on the D30
assembly.
Fig. 74:
Fig. 73:
• Completely insert the insert tray (1/Fig. 73 / p. 65) up to the stop.

• By means of a visual check, the centering of the photo diodes and photo transistors on
the D31 assembly to the holes in the insert tray (2/Fig. 73 / p. 65) is checked. If needed,
the D30 and D31 must be slightly offset.
• Secure the D30 and D31 in the centered position. Place the outlet grid
(1/Fig. 74 / p. 65) from the repair kit in place of the individual rollers on the photo-sensi-
tive cells.
• Install a new cover plate over the D30 and D31.
NOTE For correct function of format sensing, the D31 plug-in assembly
and thus also the D30 assembly must be adjusted in the insert tray
relative to the holes.
Even with manual catapult Buckys, the D31 must always be
installed, otherwise it can cause malfunctions.
• Perform a function check as described in (Checking Cassette Sensing / p. 74).

Replacing the Profile Rail for the Grid Drive 2.10
Fig. 75: Fig. 76:
• Replace the profile rail (1/Fig. 75 / p. 66) with the profile rail included in the shipment;
for this:
- remove the two Allen screws and remove the plate (2/Fig. 75 / p. 66).
- Carefully pull the IONTOMAT chamber connector (3/Fig. 75 / p. 66) forward out of
the slot,
Make sure that this cable does not get damaged.
- Remove the 2 Allen screws (1/Fig. 76 / p. 66) on the grid drive.
- Pull out the profile rail towards the front,
- Remove any black wear that is present in the catapult Bucky.
- Clean, lubricate the bearings (2/Fig. 76 / p. 66) (Longtime PD2) and make sure there
is easy movement.
- Install the profile rail included in the shipment in the reverse order of the above
instructions.
NOTE The contact surfaces on the profile rail may not be lubricated!
• When installing the position plate (3/Fig. 76 / p. 66), make sure that it is straight and the
sides do not interrupt the photo-sensitive cell paths (4/Fig. 76 / p. 66).
• Perform a function check as described in (Checking the Function of the Grid Drive with
Installed Grid / p. 69).

Installing the Glide Piece for SIRESKOP SX/SD 2.11
Fig. 77: Fig. 78:
For heavier patients, the glide piece prevents the frame of the catapult Bucky guide from
pressing on the grid, which sporadically prevents exposure.
• To gain access to the catapult Bucky, the protective plate under the tabletop must be
removed.
- The description of this can be found in the SIRESKOP SX/SD Online Help under Ser-
vice Tips, Removing the Protective Plate.
• Move the tabletop all the way to the head end.
• Move the catapult Bucky all the way to the foot end.
• Place the update parts so they are ready as shown in (Fig. 77 / p. 67) along with a 2.5
mm Allen wrench.
• Attach a strip (approx. 30 mm) of double-sided adhesive tape (1/Fig. 78 / p. 67) on the
strut of the catapult Bucky as shown in (Fig. 78 / p. 67).
- The adhesive surface must be clean and free of grease.
- Distance to the frame, approx. 15 mm.
• Seal the plastic bag included in the shipment and secure it with two strips of tape as
shown in (Fig. 78 / p. 67).
- This is needed as a spacer for inserting and positioning the glide piece.

• Remove the protective strips on the double-sided tape (1/Fig. 78 / p. 67).
Fig. 79:
• Place the glide piece behind the adhesive surface (1/Fig. 79 / p. 68), place it on the seal
(2/Fig. 79 / p. 68) of the plastic bag and slide it carefully under the frame.
- To do this, slightly lift the frame (3/Fig. 79 / p. 68).
- Use the edge (4/Fig. 79 / p. 68) as a guide.
- Insert the glide piece until the paneling screw (5/Fig. 79 / p. 68) can be inserted.
- Align the glide piece to the edge.
- Carefully pull the plastic bag under the glide piece; while doing this, press on the glide
piece.
- Remove the paneling screw; in its place, insert an M4x6 countersunk screw.
- Use your hand to firmly press the glide piece against the adhesive surface.
• As a check, move the catapult Bucky over the entire movement path in the table.
• Reinstall the protective panel.

Checking the Function of the Grid Drive with Installed Grid 2.12
• After switching on the system, the grid first runs into the rear position and then into the
start position (5/Fig. 76 / p. 66) and stops there.
• Mark the grid start position with pencil on the profile rail and Bucky housing.
• After switching the system Off / On, the grid must again move into the marked start
position.
• If there are malfunctions, check the electrical connections, the location of the position
plate, photo-electric cells and the condition of the grid.

MULTIX PRO/TOP table - Switching on the unit
or wall stand Manual - Select exposure station (table or wall stand)
- Oblique beam angle (manual, not ACSS)
- Pull out the cassette tray and insert it again (cassette must
be inserted)
- Release radiation
- Pull out the cassette tray again and insert it again (cassette
must be inserted)
- Release radiation again
If an exposure is made with the second release of radiation,
sensing of the cassette tray position is okay. If a second expo-
sure does not take place, sensing of the cassette tray position
(U10, U11, U20, U21 on the D30) is defective. The catapult
Bucky then prevents the second exposure (possibly even the
first exposure) because the catapult Bucky requires a change
in the cassette and prevents a second exposure of a previ-
ously exposed cassette. However, changing the cassette is
not sensed by the defective sensing.
MULTIX PRO/TOP table - Establish ACSS conditions (standard SID, e.g. 102 cm or
or wall stand ACSS 115 cm), beam path vertical to catapult Bucky, with tiltable
wall stand: 0° or 90° tilt

- If the red V43 LED goes on on the D30
(4/Fig. 80 / p. 70)(4/Fig. 81 / p. 70), the self test has failed and

Laying the Cable in the Detector Insert
3Laying the Cable in the Detector Insert (MP/MT)
Reason for the Improvements 0
During analysis of the returned detector cables, it has been found that many cables on the
side of the detector were broken behind the kink protector. The cable break was some-
times caused by incorrectly laying the cable in the detector insert in the VERTIX MP/MT
(too much kink).
As a corrective measure, an improved cable, adhesive labels and instruction labels for
correct laying of the cable in the detector insert have been introduced.
Part No.: 75 55 274, CXDI sensor cable (7 m)
Part No.: 83 94 533 films, laying of detector cable
NOTE The label is standard with:

VERTIX MP, 86 27 726, beginning with Serial Number 1001
VERTIX MT, 86 27 650, beginning with Serial Number 1209
Work Steps 0
To ensure problem-free operation of the detector, it is absolutely necessary to lay the

detector cable in the detector insert as shown on the adhesive labels.
The work instructions for replacing the detector cable can be found in the "MD Image Sys-
tem" On-line Help.

• Place on the supplied large label (1/Fig. 84 / p. 78).
Tip: Temporarily secure the bottom of the label with the corner stops. Pull off the pro-
tective film approx. 5 cm from the top and secure the label. Then remove the corner
stops and place on the label so that there are no trapped air bubbles.
• Reinstall the two corner stops.
• Place on the supplied small label (2/Fig. 84 / p. 78) as shown in the above illustration;
when doing this, make sure that the label is placed on without any trapped air bubbles.
