Installation Manual
6 ROOM PREPARATION
Plan a layout and prepare the x-ray room before starting the installation. Refer to the attached
dimensional drawings of the wall stand. (DD-33-13)
If the wall stand is not installed with components that are made by Control-X Medical, Inc., please
refer to the original manufacturer’s specification.
Inspect the room before installation. If the condition of the wall and the floor is not suitable for
leveling and holding the stand, corrective action shall be taken (putting a brace between the studs
shall be considered). The final location of the stand shall be predetermined before starting the
installation. With overhead support the center wall stand can be offset from the centerline of the
table. For complete system installation and site planning refer to the appropriate room layout
drawing.
6.1 Electrical Preparation

Depending on the system configuration the WS 99 stand can be furbished with two different wall
enclosures: the basic and the advanced disconnect box.
The basic box [DD-33-23] is relatively small and does not have any electrical function. It only
provides a convenient connection to either an inside conduit or a raceway. The box is connected
to the wall stand through a corrugated flexible tube. For the proper position of the box refer to
the WS 99 Dimensional Drawing [DD-33-13]
There are two openings on the box. One rectangular hole is located on the rear of the box (1 3/16”
x 1 5/8”) to junction to an inside wall conduit (Figure1). The other opening is on the bottom box (1
1/8” x ½ ”) for a raceway (Figure 3).
The minimum recommended size is 1 5/16” x 7/16“ raceway or ¾ of an inch diameter conduit.
The advanced wall box [DD-33-25] is a functional junction box. It provides a connection for the
input power (24 VAC), the Bucky and the collimator size sensing cable. It is uses exclusively when
a size-sensing collimation system is utilized. This box is connected to the stand through a
corrugated flexible hose, which aesthetically hides the interconnecting cables and wires. This box
should be positioned same as the basic one. (Refer to the WS 99 Dimensional Drawing DD-33-13)
There is no opening on the box, except one cord grip fitting for the collimator cable, which is not
used. The Bucky system and the AEC (optional) cables are factory installed. The collimator cable
shall be installed at the site according to the collimator manufacturer’s instruction.
You may use the same size raceway as it is used for the basic box.
For easy drywall (plaster) installation, light duty screw anchors for drywall are recommended
(preferably self-drilling).
If the wall is made of concrete or brick simple light duty plastic anchors are adequate to hold the
box.
Since the WS 99 does not have a visible Power ON indication, the main wall switch of the room
shall be equipped with a green Power ON indicator light.
