5.0 THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Description
The electrical system provides control of all the table functions and is comprised of a Power
Cord, an On/Off Circuit Breaker Switch, wire harnesses, a power supply, a controller circuit, a
Hand Pendant Control, a Joystick Control, Floor Lock jackscrews, various electromechanical
actuators and two stepper motors. The electric motor driven lead screw-type actuators
manipulating the height, the Hand Pendant Control controls lateral tilt and Trendelenburg
Functions. The Floor Lock Buttons raise and lower the table onto the floor locks. The translation
motion of the tabletop is controlled by the Joystick Control and driven by the stepper motors.
Drawing number 6800-1001 is the Electrical Wiring Diagram for the Model 6800 Imaging
Table. The input power requirement for this table is 120 VAC 60Hz, 6.5 Amp or 220 VAC 50Hz
as indicated on the Serial Number Label.
On/Off Circuit Breaker Switch
An illuminated On/Off Circuit Breaker Main Switch is located on the Pedestal End of the base of
the table (See Figure 2.2). When illuminated, it indicates that the table is plugged into a live
electrical outlet and the power is on. This switch also serves as a circuit breaker. In the event of
an overload condition this Switch will trip off. To reset, push to the OFF position and then the
ON position.
NOTE: Determine the source of the overload prior to resetting this switch.
Component Circuit Breakers
The electrical system includes three individual component Circuit Breakers that provide
protection for the major components of the system. These Circuit Breakers are located in the
base at the Pedestal End of the table (See Figure 2.2) If a short circuit occurs, the affected
Circuit Breaker will trip as evidenced by a button protruding from the Circuit Breaker Access
hole. To reset, press the button in and release.
NOTE: Determine the source of the overload prior to resetting this button.
Power Cord
The table is equipped with a standard EIC power cord with the appropriate 120 VAC hospital
grade connector. (220volt versions do not include the power connector) The Power Cord is
connected to the table at the EIC power entry socket located on the base of the Pedestal End near
the On/Off Switch.
Floor Lock System
The Model 6800 Imaging Table Floor Lock secures the table by powering 4 jackscrews to lower
four legs onto the floor and unloading the swivel casters. Depressing the Floor Lock "LOCK"
Button located on the lateral tilt enclosure at the Pedestal End or on the Hand Pendant operates it.
The “LOCK” Button is pressed and held until the Floor Lock is completely deployed. This
button applies electrical current to each of the four-jackscrew motors. Each leg is monitored by
the controller for contact with the floor. In the case of an uneven floor, it is possible that one or
more legs will continue to extend until firm contact is made with the floor. Complete locking is
evidenced by the illumination of the green “LOCKED WHEN LIT” light located below the
button. The table controller requires that the Floor Lock be completely engaged before any other
