The exhibition stand.
• The fixing hardware (not supplied) for
attaching the unit to the wall/floor and the
fixing hardware (not supplied) for attaching
the optional remote exposure switch to
the wall must be the correct type for the

CRANEX Novus e 2. Pre-installation requirements
• Make sure that the fixing hardware to be used
to attach the unit to the wall and the wall itself
can withstand a continuous pull-out force of at
least 300 kg (660 lb).
• If the wall is made of thin material, you may
have to use a reinforcing plate on the rear side
of the wall to hold the fixing hardware.
• If the wall is not strong enough to support the
unit or if you are not sure if the wall will support
the unit, use the exhibition stand.
• The place where the unit is to be installed
and the position from where the user will take
exposures must be correctly shielded from the
radiation that is generated when the unit is
operated. Since radiation safety requirements
vary from country to country and state to state
it is the responsibility of the installer to ensure
that all safety requirements are met.
• Do not install the unit in environments where
there are corrosive or explosive vapours.
• Special steps regarding EMC need to be taken

include:
- Use of the accessory in the PATIENT
VICINITY
- Evidence that the safety certification of
the ACCESSORY has been performed
in accordance to the appropriate
IEC 601-1 and/or IEC 601-1-1
harmonized national standard.
2.3 The dental imaging software
The dental imaging software, for example
SCANORA software or DIGORA for Windows
software (not in USA), that is installed in the PC
used with the unit must be MDD compliant .
2.4 Space requirements
When installing the unit make sure that:
- There is enough space at the front and sides
of the unit to allow patients to enter and exit
the unit easily. Patients in wheelchairs will
require more space than standing patients.
- The unit is positioned at least 1,85 m (73")
away from any non-medical electrical or
electromechanical equipment.
- The unit is positioned so that the operator,
when protected from radiation, can see and
hear the patient during an exposure.
