CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENT
WARNING
WARNING — The installation checkout
is necessary to ensure that handling
during shipment did not damage the
table.
NOTE
NOTE — If the table was stored where
the ambient temperatures were
significantly hotter or colder than 50° to
100° Fahrenheit (10° to 38° Celsius),
the table’s hydraulic fluid may have
expanded or contracted enough to affect
the positions of table sections. This
situation will correct itself as the table
warms or cools to room temperature.
After carefully uncrating the table, perform the
following checks:
1. Be sure that all accessories and attachments have
been removed from packing material.
Locked
Position Unlocked Position 2. Examine table to be sure that all straps, shims,
and other packaging materials have been
removed.
3. Verify that the AC line voltage (mains) is within
the range of 108 to 132VAC.
4. Operate the table to confirm the articulation range
of all functions. Follow the checklist below:
•Table locking system engages and disengages
properly and immobilizes table.
•Tabletop travels from a minimum height of
28'' (711 mm) to a maximum of 48” (1219
mm) (without pads).
•Slide forward and reverse moves tabletop
through 12'' (305 mm) of travel.
•Tabletop tilts right and left 20°.
•Leg section adjusts from 0° above horizontal
to a minimum of 105° below horizontal.
•Back section adjusts from 80° above
horizontal to 40° below horizontal.
•Kidney elevator raises 3'' (76 mm) above
table surface and retracts properly.
•Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg
allows movement to 30° above and below
horizontal.

5. Inspect exterior surfaces for presence of hydraulic
fluid, especially under the base and side panels. If
a leak is evident, contact the manufacturer.
6. It is recommended the batteries be fully
charged overnight before introducing table
into service. The charging system is activated
when the table is plugged into mains AC power
(hospital receptacle) and the green charging
indicator lamp next to the plug is illuminated.
SETTING THE TABLE LEVELS
The table must know the zero position of all
articulation functions for the return-to-level function
to work properly. These zero positions are set at the
factory, but they should be checked when the table is
first installed and adjusted if necessary. The level
settings also should be checked periodically and reset
whenever necessary.
There are two ways to set the zero (or level) position
for each articulation. One uses the service software
program and is explained in detail in the Service and
Parts Manual (70-000-0027). The other is explained
below:
1. Level all sections using the hand pendant for
motion control and an accurate level for
measurement:
•Headrest
•Back
•Kidney
•Seat
•Leg
•Tilt
•Trendelenburg
2. Turn the main ON/OFF switch in the base power
center to the OFF position.
3. Perform the following actions as listed:
a. Press and hold the OFF button on the hand
pendant.
b. Press and hold the LEVEL button on the
hand pendant.
c. While continuing to hold both the hand
pendant OFF and LEVEL buttons, turn the
main ON/OFF switch in the base power
center to the ON position.
The table will record the leveled positions as the zero
positions and will return to these settings whenever the
Return-to-Level button in pushed.
AC FUSES (MAINS AC)
The table has been supplied with two 8-amp 5x20mm
time delay fuses in the power cord receptacle. These
fuses are accessible through the right hand power
center without removing the covers. (See FIGURE 2-
2 for the power center location.)

OPERON B 810 SURGICAL TABLE
GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Berchtold OPERON B 810 surgical table is a
remote controlled, full-function design offering a
high level of patient positioning and imaging
flexibility to the surgical team. The table can be
activated by AC power through the power cord (input
range of 115V ±10%) or by battery power, which
requires no power cord except when charging the
batteries.
An electric motor with a screw drive is used to slide
the table top head to foot.
Hydraulic cylinders are used to articulate the table's
sections. Hydraulic pressure is provided by a motor
driven pump during normal use, and by a manual foot
pump in manual back-up mode.
A hand-held control pendant is used to control table
positions.
The tabletop is divided into the following sections
(FIGURE 2-1):
•Headrest
•Back Section
•Kidney Elevator
•Seat Section
•Leg Section
A leg extension can be added to extend the tabletop
surface.
RADIOLUCENT TABLE TOP AND PADS
The tabletop surface is made from electrically
conductive radiolucent panels. The table is fitted
with a matching set of conductive radiolucent pads.
Velcro tape holds the pads in place.
CAUTION
CAUTION — Protect the top and
bottom surfaces from nicks and
scratches. Scratches more than 0.005
inches (127 microns) deep may appear
on x-rays. Damaged or scratched
panels should be replaced if x-ray
quality is affected.
Each table section has a cassette channel that can
accommodate x-ray cassettes up to 14'' x 17'' (356 x
432 mm).
INTERCHANGEABLE HEADREST
The tabletop has perineal cutouts in both seat and
back sections. The back/seat pad can be reversed to
expose the desired cutout. The headrest can be
interchanged to allow for normal and reversed patient
orientation.

OPERON B 810 SURGICAL TABLE
GENERAL INFORMATION
POWER SUPPLY
WARNING
WARNING — Repeated breaker
tripping or fuse replacement may
indicate a ground fault or overload
condition. The table will not operate
reliably under these conditions, and
may be electrically unsafe. Do not use
the table until these conditions are
corrected.
NOTE
NOTE — Recharge the batteries as
indicated by the battery indicator on
the control pendant. For longevity, it is
good practice to charge the batteries at
least once a week.
When the table is plugged into a 120VAC receptacle,
it is powered by AC (mains). When the power cord is
not plugged in, the batteries provide power to the
table. In either case, the ON/OFF switch on the base
must be ON to articulate any table sections. When the
ON/OFF switch on the base is OFF, the table's
electronics and pump motor are isolated from the
power supply and the batteries, regardless of the
pendant used.
When the charge indicator lamp near the power cord
receptacle is lit, the table senses AC power and
activates the battery charging system. If AC is
present, the battery charging system is activated
whether the ON/OFF switch on the base is in the ON
or OFF position. The table can remain plugged into
AC indefinitely without damaging the batteries.
The battery indicator on the primary hand pendant
displays the battery charge status. This display has
three sections: green (full charge), yellow (low
charge), and red (recharge). Only one color will be
activated at a time.
NOTE
NOTE — In the unlikely event of a
control failure, the table movements
can be stopped by switching the
breaker on the base to the off (down)
position.
FUSES
Two sets of fuses are accessible without removing the
base covers. The first set, located within the
receptacle for the power cord, contains two fuses.
These fuses protect against current surges in the AC
(mains) line. The second set, located behind the
hinged door next to the ON/OFF switch, contains four
fuses. Three of these fuses protect against surges in
the DC circuitry; one fuse serves as a spare. Fuses F3
and F4 are 20 Amp rated. Fuse F5 is 2 Amp rated.
In addition to the fuses, the ON/OFF switch serves as
a circuit breaker with a 20 Amp rating.
See FIGURE 2-2 for the fuse locations. See FIGURE
2-3 for the product identification and fuse information
label.
