Step 1: Remove the Canon Power-Sync Box Cover

Remove the screws on the side of the cover with a Phillips Head screwdriver.

Loosen the screws on the back. The case will slide over these screws

Pull up on the cover

Step 2: Connect the Power-Sync Cable

Loosen the metal nut near the connector.

Loosen the plastic strain relief. This will allow you to easily feed enough cable to attach the connector.

Remove the plug with a flat-head screwdriver from the back of the power-box.

Place the cable into the slot and loosely tighten the metal nut.

Attach the connector to the circuit board. You can feed cabling through as needed with the strain relief undone.

Tighten the outside strain relief to keep the cable from moving.

Tighten the inside metal nut. This may require needle-nose pliers. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

Ensure the cable is connected to the FRONT Molex connector by the chassis next to the relay. DO NOT connect it to the Generator Integration in the middle of the board.

Replace the cover and all the screws.

Step 3: Connect the Panel to the Power Supply

The panel is designed to have the power buttons and power tether connector facing the front, with the connector on the front left. In some cases, this is not possible. Position the connector in the best possible configuration.

The power connector will magnetically lock into place.

Plugin the power to the Canon Power Box and connect it to a grounded outlet

Plug in a network cable to any network port on the back of the box. This cable will connect to Port 1 on the Acquisition Computer.

Press and hold the Power Button on the panel. The blue lights will turn on letting you know the panel has power.

Step 4: Place the Battery in the Panel

Remove the plastic battery cover from the bottom of the panel.

• Placed on Back of Panel

Copy the DR Panel Serial Number from the back of the panel. This will start with AAxxxxxx

Step 6: Connect the Computer

Attach the wall mount to the wall. If you are having trouble with the screws, we recommend using 1/4″ – 20 x 2.5 ” machine stews for easier assembly.

Run the cables through the wall mount for easy attachment to the computer.

The panel is designed to be positioned to accommodate the power connector

Position: Front Left – Preferred

This is usually placed in a film tray or the Sound Bucky. This is a preferred position as it allows easy access to the Power Button on the panel.

Position: Back Left or Front Right

This is generally used in OEM bucky trays with a closed front. This may still allow access to turn the power on and off. If the Power Button is not easily accessible, please show the customer how to access the panel.

Position: Back Right

If possible, this position should be avoided at all costs as it does not allow the user access to the Power Button. In the case that it is needed, please ensure that the customer has access to the pane.

Securing the Panel

Securing the panel takes on a few forms that provide cable strain if  the panel will be stationary or positive stops, such as a film bucky, that allow a customer to use the panel both in and outside the table.

Stationary Panel: Will Not Be Moved

If the hospital will not be removing the panel, then align the panel with X-ray Field by taking shots in SmartDR Premier. Once you have the system centered, secure the panel with Velcro.

Before closing up the table, ensure that you have provided adequate strain relief for the cable. This will allow the power connector to be unplugged if directly pulled by a human, but will not allow it accidentally be unplugged by the normal operation of the X-ray machine.

Removable Panel: Will be removed and used tabletop or in another manner
