Preface
Cautions Relating to Cellular Telephones

1
1
Do NOT bring cellular telephones or related devices into the
examination room.
Do NOT bring mobile devices that emit electromagnetic waves (e.g. cellular
1
telephones) into the examination room unless they are switched OFF. Such
devices can exceed the EMC electromagnetic wave standards, and under
some conditions this can impair the proper functioning of the system. In the
worst case, this can cause serious injuries or clinical errors.
1
1
Cautions on the Compatibility of Electromagnetic Fields
MobileArt Evolution High Power Type (32 kW) needs special 1

precautions regarding EMC.
The system needs to be installed and use according to the EMC information
provided in this operation manual.
^ Reference "8.1 Environmental Conditions of EMC (Electro-Magnetic Compatibility)" P.8-2
1
Check that the electromagnetic fields are compatible.

1
All peripheral devices must satisfy the EMC standards regarding emission of
electromagnetic waves and sensitivity to emitted electromagnetic waves.
Devices that do not satisfy these standards may disturb the correct 1
functioning of the system. In the worst case, this can cause serious injuries or
clinical errors.
1
1
M503-E027 MobileArt Evolution High Power Type (32 kW) OPERATION MANUAL ix
Preface
MobileArt Evolution High Power Type (32 kW) should not be used
adjacent to or stacked with other equipment.
If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, MobileArt Evolution High Power Type
(32 kW) should be observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in
which it will be used.
Cautions on Radiation
Do NOT allow operation of this apparatus by any person other than

qualified personnel (physicians, radiotherapy engineers and clinical X-
ray engineers) or under observation by them.
Be aware of the potential for X-ray irradiation.

If X-ray equipment is not used correctly the operator, the subject, and other
persons may receive a greater dose of radiation than is necessary. Nobody
other than the subject should remain in the examination room during
irradiation. If for some reason another person has to be in the examination
room, that person must control X-ray irradiation from a distance over 2 m
from the focal spot and the X-ray beam and also must take adequate
measures to protect themselves against radiation.
During X-ray exposure, the status indicator lamp will illuminate, and a sound
is emitted.
x MobileArt Evolution High Power Type (32 kW) OPERATION MANUAL M503-E027
Preface
In order to minimize the absorbed dose, make the focal spot to distance 1
as long as possible. (Minimum 45 cm)
1
Be sure to carry out aging before taking an X-ray radiograph.
Before taking an X-ray radiograph, running-in operation of the X-ray tube unit
called "aging" is required.
^ Reference "3.2 Aging the X-Ray Tube Unit" P.3-6
1
Avoid unnecessary standby situations. 1

In exposure, if a standby situation continues with the exposure ready key
pressed, wire disconnection or dielectric strength failure may result owing to
the vaporization of the X-ray tube filament.
1
1
After the X-ray tube unit is used for a long time at a relatively low tube
voltage (below 80 kV), if it is used in the range near the nominal highest 1
tube voltage (100 kV or more), discharge may result. This is an
accidental arc caused by the weakened aging effect at high tube voltage
after the X-ray tube unit is used for a long time at a lower tube voltage.
In this case, carry out the aging procedure described in Chapter 5 1
before operating the apparatus.

Preface
System Movement Cautions
When moving the arm unit or system, the operator must pay close
attention to ensure that the limbs of both operator and patient are not
caught between the system and any peripheral units.
Be especially careful when near a wall, changing the direction of the system
or moving it backwards.
Avoid collisions and overturning.

Collisions and overturning can not only damage the system, but can also
cause serious injury.
Be careful of the following points when moving the system:
• When on a slope, in an entrance, or encountering obstacles, move the

system as slowly as possible. Be especially careful when descending/
ascending a steep slope.
• Do NOT move the system on a slope steeper than 7 degrees or over steps
higher than 2 cm. When stopping the system, always park the system on a
level place, avoiding slopes, since there is a danger of the system rolling
down the slope and overturning.
• Moving the system along surfaces that cause strong vibrations, such as
roads outdoors, over large steps and down steep slopes is dangerous.
Avoid these if possible. Do NOT stop the system on a slope.
• When moving the system, look out for any obstacles in front of it.

3.1.1 Starting the System
To start the system, turn the key switch to the ON position.
The system confirms its functions before the remaining battery charge is indicated on the battery
indicator. After the battery charge status has been indicated, the system can be moved, the arm lock
released, X-ray radiography operations performed or the DR system (only with FPD upgrade)
started. When the (standby indicator lamp) is illuminated, radiography can be performed. The
following limits are placed on X-ray radiography depending on the remaining battery charge display.
No. Battery Indicator X-ray Radiography Availability
1 ~ Radiography is possible.
Low Battery - only low-battery radiography is possible.

Indicator segment is illuminated if shown in black J and off if shown in white F above.
If the battery indicator is blinking, immediately charge the battery.
3
• The (standby indicator lamp) will illuminate almost immediately if restarting
the system directly after shutting it down; It may take as long as one minute to 3
illuminate if restarting after the system has not been performed over a long period
of time.
• If the key switch is turned ON with buttons or levers left ON, code d4 to d11 3
appears on the mAs display. Release the switch or lever.
• If the key switch is turned ON with the hand switch still depressed, code F64
or F65 appears on the mAs display. Release the hand switch.
3
• Please note that the battery voltage rises temporarily immediately after the key
switch is turned ON . As a result, the battery indicator will indicate more than
the actual remaining charge. After the system is used for a while, the battery
display will return to its actual remaining charge. 3
• If the key switch is turned ON with the emergency stop button still depressed,
code F6d appears on the mAs display.
If the emergency stop button is reset after the key switch is turned ON with 3
the emergency stop button in the pressed state, code d13 will appear and the
system will lock tight. In this case, restart the system while the emergency stop
button is in the reset state.

system unattended.
• Even with key switch in the OFF position, the DR system will not be shut
down. Be sure to shut down the DR system when leaving the system unattended
(only with FPD upgrade).
• When not using the system for a long period of time, turn the main circuit breaker
to OFF.
J Auto-Power-OFF Function
When the key switch is ON , the auto-power-off function shuts the system off if not used for a 3
long time. The auto-power-off function default setting is 15 minutes. When the auto-power-off
function starts up, [at OFF] is displayed on the X-ray control panel until the system is shut off. When
the power plug is connected, [at OFF] will not disappear even if the system is shut off.
To reset from the auto-power-off condition, turn the key switch OFF , wait three seconds, then
3
turn it back ON .
* The time setting can be changed if necessary.

3
3
• When the auto-power-off function is started with the connection of the power plug,
disconnect the power plug to restart the system. 3
• When the system is used by connecting the power plug, deactivate the auto-
power-off function or set the auto-power-off time to 30 minutes.
• Even if the auto-power-off function shuts the system off, the battery will continue 3
to consume a small amount of power. When the system is not in use, turn the key
switch to OFF .
• If the battery indicator displays no illuminated portion, the auto-power-off function 3

will automatically start in 5 minutes to prevent wearing out the battery.
• The auto-power-off function does not turn the DR system OFF (only with FPD
upgrade).
3
• If the system is left with the DR system still running, the battery will continue to
consume a small amount of power. Therefore, always turn the DR system OFF

X-ray tube units must be aged before they can be used. Always age the X-ray tube unit prior to using
the system.
Always age the X-ray tube unit before starting radiography. In

particular, if X-ray tube voltage is set to over 100 kV, aging should be
performed on a daily basis.
Performing radiography without aging the X-ray tube unit may cause an
electrical discharge.

3 Basic Operation
3.3 Moving the System
To move the system, hold the grip bar securely.

Do NOT operate the grip bar with only one hand or underhanded. Doing so
can result in not only operation errors and system damage, but also a serious
accident leading to injury or death.
• If the battery indicator is not illuminated, immediately charge the

battery.
• Do NOT touch the brake release bar unless intending to move the
system.
Doing so will release the brake, allowing the system to move
unexpectedly.
^ Reference "2.2 Grip Bar" P.2-3
• If the system moves abnormally, immediately stop using the system

and contact your Shimadzu service representative.
The operator may experience static electric shock when moving the system if
their body has become statically charged, depending on conditions such as
humidity and type of clothing.
3.3.1 Travel Mode and Inch-Mover Buttons

3
3
• When moving the system, make sure that there are no obstacles
ahead.
The obstacle detector may not be able to detect light weight obstacles in 3
front of it, such as IV stands or cables from other equipment. Hitting an IV
stand or running over cables from other equipment could be very
3
dangerous to patients.
• Do NOT move the system over any steps or bumps greater than 2 cm,
or slopes steeper than 7 degrees.
Always stop the system on a level surface and avoid sloped surfaces.
Failure to do so may cause the system to roll down the slope or tip over. 3
• Do NOT operate this system outdoors.
This system is designed for indoor use only. Using this system outdoors
may lead to system failure.
3
The system can be moved using the normal travel mode, low-speed travel mode, or inch-mover
buttons.
By squeezing the brake release bar on the lower surface of the grip bar and pushing on the bar, the 3
system moves in the direction it is pushed. In addition, the system's power-assist technology allows
changing the travel speed according to how much force is applied.
J Normal Travel Mode

3
The system is in the normal travel mode when the arm is locked.
^ Reference "3.4.1 Locking and Releasing the Arm" P.3-13
Maximum speed is about 5 km/h. 3

* Travel characteristics can be changed.
3
J Low-Speed Travel Mode

If the arm is not locked, the system will automatically select the low-speed travel mode.
^ Reference "3.4.1 Locking and Releasing the Arm" P.3-13 3
3
3 Basic Operation
The traveling speed of the system will be limited to about half the normal speed and the degree of
power-assist is limited to about half of its normal level.
• Do Not move the system over bumps or other floor-level changes in

low-speed travel mode.
The system may tip over if the arm is not locked.
• Do Not move the system over slopes steeper than 5 degrees.
J Inch-Mover Buttons
Holding down the inch-mover buttons with the arm unlocked allows the movement of the system
forward or backward more slowly than in the low-speed travel mode. Maximum speed is about 5 cm/
s.
The inch-mover buttons can be operated continuously for about 10 seconds.
To continue using the buttons, press them again.
Motor power is lower than in the low-speed travel mode. If the system cannot be moved due to thick-
piled carpet, or other resistance, use the grip bar.
The system does not move if both inch-mover buttons are pressed simultaneously, or pressing one of
the buttons while the other is already pressed.

The obstruction detector is located at the lower front part of the system. If the obstruction detector
hits an obstacle, the system will stop and the unit can only be moved backwards.
* The obstruction detector can be set to emit a sound if activated. 3

3
Obstruction Detector
J Obstruction Detector Cancel Function 3

If the obstruction detector is damaged, the obstruction detection function may remain ON (activated).
In this case, the obstruction detector cancel function can be used to temporarily cancel the
obstruction detector function, allowing the system to be moved.
3
3
• The obstruction detector cancel function is only a temporary
measure. If the obstruction detector does not function normally,
contact your Shimadzu service representative. 3
• While the obstruction detector cancel function is enabled, the
detector will not emit any sound, even if activated. Because there is
no auditory warning, be sure to pay careful attention to the area in
the periphery of the system while moving. 3
• After moving to a safe location, disable the obstruction detector
cancel function.

Environmental Conditions" P.1-4. Charging the battery under conditions
exceeding these limits may significantly reduce battery life and overall
performance.
• Attach an additional protective ground wire with maximum 100 Ω ground

resistance, during the charging of the battery.
• To maximize battery life and performance, recharge the battery after one or more
LEDs on the battery indicator go off. Charging a fully charged battery may have an
adverse affect on battery life and performance.
• System travel (movement) is not possible while the power cable is connected to a
power outlet.
• Radiography is not possible while charging.

When the key switch is set to ON , charging stops and X-ray radiography can

3 Basic Operation
When the battery is fully charged, charging automatically stops and the (charging
lamp) is illuminated. It normally takes approximately five hours to charge a battery from
no indication on the Battery Indicator to charged, to a level of 90%, (the Battery Indicator
being fully illuminated). When the battery is charged for more than eight hours it is at
100% capacity (10 hours max.).
When turning ON the key switch, the (charging lamp) will turn OFF.
• During charging, the battery indicator shows the charging status, not the amount
charged.
• Please note that the battery voltage rises temporarily immediately after charging.
As a result, the battery indicator will indicate more than the actual remaining
charge. After the system is used for a short period, the battery display will display
the actual remaining charge.
If charging is interrupted, the battery indicator will initially be lit up completely.
After a short period, the number of lights may decrease suddenly, but this does
not indicate a malfunction.
• Charging will take a long time if performed with the DR system operating. When
charging the battery, stop the DR system after its operation is finished (only with
FPD upgrade).
After charging, unplug and stow the power cable.

NOTE
For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in
meters (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the 8
maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
• At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.

The factory-set anatomical program numbers (APR numbers) and their radiography parameters are
indicated below.
APR for Chest and leg are set 32 kw electric power, using the large focus, to minimize image blur
from body movement. Exposure time may be extended and tube current decreases in some 8
radiography settings when choosing the small focus.
Electric power* of High mAs settings like APR for Abdomen and Waist have no difference between
the large and small focus.

8.6.2 Anatomical Program Number (Only with FPD upgrade)
The factory-set anatomical program numbers (APR numbers) and their radiography parameters are
indicated below.
APR for Chest and leg are set 32 kw electric power, using the large focus, to minimize image blur
from body movement. Exposure time may be extended and tube current decreases in some
radiography settings when choosing the small focus.
Electric power* of High mAs settings like APR for Abdomen and Waist have no difference between
the large and small focus.
APR Numbers 1 to 72 are number of CXDI-50G/50C/55G/55C's APR Number. APR Numbers 73 to
144 are number of CXDI-60G/60C's APR Number.
If APR Number 1 to 72 selected, FPD/Cassette Radiography Mode Button's Right LED is
illuminated.
If APR Number 73 to 144 selected, FPD/Cassette Radiography Mode Button's Right LED is
blinked.

against anybody or any outside objects or personal property. It is 9
recommended that the user hold the sensor cable relay connector
while transporting the CXDI-55G/55C/60G/60C.
Failure to do so can cause the sensor cable relay connector to get caught
by, on bump against somebody which may result in injury, or cause
9
damage to personal property, outside objects and/or the sensor cable
relay connector itself.
• When connecting or disconnecting the sensor cable relay connector, 9

set the power switch of the remote switch to OFF and confirm that
the POWER lamp on both the sensor unit and the remote switch are
off.
The ERROR lamp will light if the sensor cable relay connector is
connected or disconnected while the POWER lamp is lit.
9
For details about connecting and disconnecting the sensor cable relay
connector, refer to the CXDI Series Operation Manual.
• Be sure to hold the sensor cable relay connector by its grip in order 9
to connect or disconnect it.
Holding the cable to connect or disconnect the sensor cable relay
connector may break the wires inside the cable.

J Selecting an Anatomical Program for DR Radiography Mode
Selecting radiography mode in the DR system selects the corresponding anatomical program and
changes the radiography settings to those registered for the program. The corresponding LEDs are
illuminated.
9
^ Reference For further details on operating the DR system, refer to the Canon CXDI manual.
• Anatomical programs cannot be selected from the X-ray control panel during DR
9
radiography mode.
• Pressing the (FPD/cassette radiography mode button) will not switch the
mode from cassette radiography to DR radiography. 9
Select a radiography mode from the DR system to switch the mode from the
cassette radiography to the DR radiography. Once done, the corresponding
anatomical program is selected and the radiography parameters are changed to
those registered to that program. 9
• When the (user settings button) is pressed to switch to the change settings
mode, and then the (user settings button) is pressed again to return to the
normal mode, the anatomical program changes. From that point, select the 9
radiography mode using the DR system once again.
J Changing to the Cassette Radiography Mode

Switch to the cassette radiography mode on the X-ray control panel.
9
To switch to the cassette radiography mode, hold down the (cassette radiography mode button)
for about 2 seconds.

9.3.6 X-ray Radiography
• X-ray tube units must be aged before they can be used. Always age the X-ray
tube unit before radiography.
• Inadequate aging may result in the X-ray tube unit discharging during
radiography.
• Release the arm lock during radiography.

Radiography is not possible when the system is being moved. To perform
radiography, release the grip bar and inch-mover buttons.
• Confirm the DR system READY indicator before attempting radiography.

Attempting radiography before the DR system is ready will result in error F68 and
prevent radiography.
• If the DR system exposure time exceeds 1000 msec, the DR system ready time is
extended to about 30 seconds.
J DR Radiography Procedure (Changing to the DR Radiography Mode)
• When using the DR system for a long period of time, connect the power cable to a
power outlet and switch from battery power to outlet power in order to reduce
battery power consumption.
• If the system screen is blank after pressing the DR button, and once it is
confirmed that the power cable is not connected to the power outlet, turn both the
key switch and the main circuit breaker to the OFF position, and restart the
system.
• Be sure to stop the DR system after use is complete.

If the system is left as is with the DR system operated and the power plug
disconnected from the outlet, the battery will run out. Failure to check may have
an adverse effect on battery life and overall performance.
9.3 Basic Operation
Press the DR button on the upper cover.

1
The DR system starts up. 9
Select radiography mode.
2
* • Pressing the (FPD/cassette radiography mode button) will not switch the mode from 9
cassette radiography to DR radiography.
Select a radiography mode from the DR system to switch the mode from cassette
radiography to DR radiography. Once done, the corresponding anatomical program is
selected and the radiography parameters are changed to those registered in that program
(except for a part of the radiography methods by CXDI-60G/60C). 9
• When an APR with long-term exposure is selected, the (DR long-term exposure
button) will be illuminated on the control panel.
3 Press the hand switch button to the first level (radiography preparation). 9
Radiography preparation begins. The status indicator lamp will blink green.
* • Radiography preparation cannot start unless the (standby indicator lamp) is

9
illuminated. Before pressing the hand switch, confirm that the indicator is illuminated.
• During radiography preparation, the collimator lamp will turn off automatically.

9
to the First Level
9
After radiography preparation has finished, the (radiography ready indicator lamp)
will be illuminated and the status indicator lamp is illuminated green and the collimator 9
lamp is illuminated again.
* • If an X-ray is not radiated within 30 seconds after the radiography preparation is finished,
the preparation will be automatically cancelled. To prepare for radiography again, release
the hand switch from the state pressed to the first level.
9
• To illuminate the collimator lamp again after the radiography preparation is finished, see
"4.1 User Settings" P.4-2.
• Confirm that the DR system is READY before attempting radiography. Attempting
radiography before the DR system is ready will result in error F68 and prevent radiography. 9
• If error F68 appears, cancel the error by confirming the READY indicator on the DR system
touch panel monitor and then pressing the FPD radiography selection button.
9
• Long-term exposure extends the DR system READY time to about 30 seconds.
9
9 FPD Upgrade
After confirming the DR system READY indicator, press the hand switch
4
button to the second level (X-ray exposure).
Pressing the button starts X-ray exposure.
During X-ray exposure the (X-ray irradiation indicator lamp) is illuminated, a sound
is emitted, and the status indicator lamp will be illuminated orange.
* The sound volume during X-ray exposure can be made louder.


to the Second Level
After X-ray exposure, the [kV] and [mAs] displays will blink for 5 seconds.
The status indicator lamp will blink until the battery has recharged.
* • During radiography the hand switch (first and second levels) must be continuously and fully
depressed until the exposure finishes. If the switch is released before completion of the
exposure, the exposure will be terminated prematurely. In this case, the film may not be
clear due to insufficient X-ray exposure.
• After performing radiography, another image cannot be taken until the battery is recharged.
Wait until the (standby indicator lamp) is illuminated before performing any operation.
Depending on the radiography parameters, this may require 1 minute or more.
• When repeating radiography preparation, release the hand switch (first and second levels)
once.
9.3 Basic Operation
Confirm the reference image.

5
After exposure, a reference image will appear on the touch panel monitor. Use the monitor 9
to check for blurs caused by patient movement.
9
• The touch panel monitor is not designed for diagnostic use. Displayed images are
for reference use only. 9
The kV and mAs displays may differ from the radiography parameters displayed
on the touch panel monitor.
• The system can save a maximum of 3500 images. If this number is exceeded, the
system automatically deletes excess images, starting from the oldest image (all
9
images taken in an examination are deleted together).
6 After DR radiography is completed, press the DR shutdown button on the 9

touch panel monitor.
The DR system shuts down.
9
• If a DR system malfunction occurs, such as not responding, after confirming that

9
the power cable is not connected to a power outlet, turn the key switch and the
main circuit breaker to OFF, and stop the DR system.
• If the DR system is not shut down using the correct procedure, an error will be 9
displayed on the DR system monitor when the DR system is started up next time.
For further details, refer to the Canon CXDI manual.

9.4.1 Registering Anatomical Programs
9
In the anatomical program, a total of 72 types (8 imaging portions x 3 directions x 3 body
thicknesses) can be registered for FPD and cassette radiography respectively.
The following radiography parameters can be registered in the anatomical programs.
9
^ Reference "2.4 X-Ray Control Panel" P.2-6
J Registration Procedure for DR Radiography 9
9
• When registering the anatomical programs for DR radiography, make sure the
anatomical code registered for the DR radiography mode matches the anatomical 9
program number registered for DR radiography.
• For further details about editing the DR radiography mode, refer to the Canon
CXDI manual.
For anatomical codes specified in DR radiography modes, see "8.6 Anatomical
9
Program" P.8-23.
• If using anatomical programs for DR radiography, register radiography parameters

that result in exposure times less than the maximum permitted by the DR system.
9
• The maximum exposure time for the DR system is initially set to 1000 msec. It is
possible, however, to extend this to 3000 msec by switching to the DR long-term
exposure mode. If the DR system exposure time exceeds 1000 msec, the DR 9
system READY time is extended to about 30 seconds.
