Installing the FLX
•There are two methods used for shipping the unit, assembled and non-
assembled.
•We will focus on the non-assembled method first.

Non-assembled Setup
1. With the help of an assistant, install the
lower plate under the two leg assemblies, as
shown.
2. Attach with mounting hardware, four SHCS
1/4-20 x 5 long with1/4” split washers, both
sides.

3. Remove both top covers (six mounting
screws).
4. With an assistant, lift overhead into place
on top of leg assemblies.
WARNING This scanner requires a two person lift. Failure to comply may cause bodily
injury. Two adults are required to assemble this scanner.

5. Ensure the pins on rear of the overhead are
seated into the holes on leg assemblies.
6. When seated properly, overhead locks into
place. To ensure safety, the overhead should
still be supported by an assistant until
mounted.

7. From rear of scanner, secure overhead with mounting hardware, two SHCS1/4-20 x 5/8
long with 1/4” split washers, both sides.

8.The scanner must be checked for
square, prior to installing the
mounting hardware at the top of the
overhead.
9.Hook a tape-measure on bottom
rear edge of scanner, as shown.
10.Run the tape diagonally to the
upper open corner, as shown and
record the measurement.
Measurement should be
approximately 65-3/8” [166cm].
11.Take the same measurement on
the opposite corners and record
measurement.
The two measurements must be
identical + 1/16” [1.6mm]. If
measurements are not within
tolerance, push the top of the
scanner to the right or left and re-
measure.

12. From top of scanner, secure overhead with mounting hardware, two SHCS 1/4-20 x
5/8 long with 1/4” split washers, both sides.

Assembled Setup
13. With the help of an assistant, tilt the
scanner to install the glides under the four
feet (corners of scanner).
14. Slide the scanner into place and remove
the glides.
15. Position patient chair on gantry base.
Ensure base frame centering screw is seated
within patient chair centering block.
16. Loosely secure patient chair to gantry (4
bolts). Do not tighten.
CAUTION Care must be taken when sliding the scanner into place. To prevent the
scanner from scratching the floor surface, place the four glides under the scanner feet.

17. Remove four long screws from red shipping plate. Keep shipping plate attached
with remaining hardware.
•Do NOT discard mounting hardware. Long screws used for receptor assembly
mounting and short screws for source assembly.

18. Locate receptor assembly and remove
packing material.
19. Remove assembly cover from scanner (2
screws).
20. With an assistant, mount the receptor
assembly by aligning the mounting pins.
21. Attach assembly with four long mounting
screws acquired from red shipping plate. Once
secured, remove remaining screws from
shipping plate and save for later use. Remove
shipping plate.
22. Feed cabling through receptor assembly (6
wires).
WARNING The receptor assembly requires a two
person lift. Failure to comply may cause bodily injury.

23. Feed gray wire with red/white
connector through brackets and
connect to other red/white
connector.
24. Feed second gray wire through
brackets and connect the red/black
wires with white connectors.
25. Connect together the
green/yellow ground wires.

26. Connect grey wire with green connector to assembly. Run wire behind
motor as shown.

27. Unlatch panel cover by pulling cover
forward slightly, then swinging cover
outward to remove.
28. Feed LEMO connector through hub
and plug into panel. Rotate red dot on
connector to the 3 o’clock position. Slide
connector into receptor until it snaps in
place.
29. Feed green network connector
through the hub and plug connector into
panel.

30. Snap receptor panel cover into place.
31. Install receptor assembly cover.
Ensure mounting tabs are seated in top
of cover.
32. Attach mounting screws.
33. Locate X-ray source assembly and remove
from packing material.
34. Place assembly on clean surface. Remove
and set aside the magnetic mounted X-Ray
source window panel from the cover.
35. Remove cover mounting screws from top
and bottom of scanner (quantity 4 outer cover

36. Detach outer cover ONLY. 37. Carefully detach and move inner
source cover a few inches away from
assembly.
38. Remove ribbon cable from beam
limiter assembly by pressing connector
locking tab.

39. Using very little force, slowly rotate
gantry, counterclockwise. Stop the
rotation when you feel that the gantry is
at the limit switch position.
40. Slide inner source cover onto the
gantry overhead.

41. With an assistant, align X-ray source
assembly mounting pins.
42.Attach assembly using the four
mounting screws previously removed
from red shipping plate along with four
split washers.
43.Draw the 3 cables out through the
opening. Ensure that the cables are not
stretched or damaged.
44.Record label information that is
required on Installation Sheet (Serial
Number, etc.). • black cable (2
connectors) • grey cable (single
connector) • green ground cable (ground
lug)

45. Attach ground lug by removing
mounting nut and installing lug over the
star-lock washer. Replace mounting nut.
46. Attach together, black cables with the
