Pre-Installation
GENERAL
All Gammex AccuChrom 3 Optical Alignment Systems provide an optical aid for
rapid and accurate patient positioning and repositioning for therapy and simulator
machines.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
For the purpose of this manual, a single optical aligner will be referred to as a
unit and a set of related aligners will be referred to as a system.
Various combinations of the GLED-800 crosshair AccuChrom 3 and the GLED600 sagittal (straight line) AccuChrom 3 are used with different systems. The
GLED-800 optical aligners, mounted on each side, project crosshairs along the
X-axis. A GLED-800 optical aligner mounted on the ceiling projects a crosshair
vertically along the Z-axis. The Sagittal GLED-600 optical aligner projects a
straight line in the Z-Y plane.

Installation Requirements
ELECTRICAL
Each optical aligner is provided with a universal power supply (transformer) with an
input of 100 to 240 volts AC at 50 to 60 Hz. The universal power supply plugs into a
wall outlet using one of four (4) interchangeable “snap-in” plugs that fit most outlets.
A 1.83 meter (6 foot) power cord supplies 18 Volt DC power to the optical aligner
with a bayonet type locking power plug.
TOOLS NEEDED
In addition to some basic tools, such as screwdrivers, a hammer and a ladder; you
will need an electric hammer drill, plumb bob, water level, masking tape and 15M
(50 feet) of string. The mounting hardware, a 1/4-20 tap, 2 drill bits (#7 and 3/8”),
1/4” anchor and a 3/16” hex (allen) wrench, are included with the optical alignment
systems. A spinning laser may be used as an alternative to a water level. Contact
us for more information.
CAUTION: The location of each optical aligner is determined in relation to the
therapy machine’s crosshair and isocenter. Before installing an optical alignment
system, ask the physicist to verify that the field light aligns with the therapy
machine’s isocenter. See Figure 1 on page 9.
During commissioning/validation of a linear accelerator, please power off all
AccuChrom 3 positioning units (to prevent damage caused by high levels of
radiation). They may be powered back on immediately after commissioning/
validation.

Pre-Installation
Use a water level to line up the optical aligner’s exit reference point at the height of
isocenter. See Figure 2 on page 10.
PREPARING THE ROOM
1. Unpack each optical alignment unit and remove shipping stability screws according
to the pre-installation guide included with the unit.
2. Turn the linear accelerator lamp on.
3. Set gantry and collimator to 0º and level the collimator.
4. Lower the table as far as possible.
COLLIMATOR CROSSHAIR ACCURACY
The collimator projected crosshair is used as a reference when determining the optical
aligners locations. The light field should coincide with isocenter, the gantry should be
level, and if collimator crosshair displacement exists, it should be compensated for.
1. Project a collimator crosshair onto a piece of paper taped to the table and mark the
center with a dot.
2. Rotate through 360° and mark the center again.
3. If there is a difference between the two dots, review this finding with site physicist.
The physicist will make the final determination as to where to place the crosshair if
a difference in dot location is observed.
USING THE LEVEL
Use a level to determine the height of the optical aligner exit reference point when
installing optical alignment systems in a simulator room or in a room with angled walls.
In standard treatment rooms, the level should also be used to verify the optical alignment system location. See Figure 2 on page 10.
1. Raise the table to the front pointer (isocenter).
2. Remove caps on ends of level and remove air bubbles.
3. Line up with the table edge and with the wall.
4. The line on the wall indicates the horizontal axis of the optical aligner exit
reference point.

2. Use the crosshair from the ceiling optical aligner as a reference and tape a
plumb bob string to the center of the table so that the string line aligns with the
crosshair. Point A in Figure 9.
If your system does not contain a ceiling unit, use the collimator-projected
crosshair. Be sure to check for collimator accuracy. Refer to page 10.
3. Move the table up and down to verify tracking of the string line. The projected
sagittal line should cover or, overlay the line formed by the string.
4. The point at which the string hits the wall indicates the center of the vertical
optical aligner exit reference point. Point B in Figure 9.
5. Use the template to determine the location of the mounting holes.
6. Drill the mounting holes. Tap or install anchors as necessary.
7. Unplug the optical aligner and remove the cover.
8. Use the two 1/4” allen bolts and washers to mount the optical alignment system
to the wall as shown in Figure 5. The unit must be firmly mounted. Oversized
holes in the aligner back mounting plate provide flexibility to line up the exit
reference hole. Suitable anchors must be used. Wall anchors for masonry are
provided in the mounting kit.
Use a 3/8” diameter drill bit for the provided anchors. It may be helpful to shift
the optics to ease installation of mounting bolts. See later pages for planar
adjustments. Re-center the optics after mounting.
9. Plug in and turn on optical aligner.
10. Verify that the optical alignment line tracks the crosshair projected onto the
table.

Remote Control
Remote control is a radio communication feature that allows the operator to
change color and boost brightness with a hand-held remote transmitter. Each
optical alignment system has a separate receiver that responds to the operator's
remote control. The remote control and optical alignment system both have an
ID switch. The ID switch sets the identification number for the system. This allows different rooms to operate remote control optical alignment systems in close
proximity without interference. All remote control receivers in a room will have
the same ID number. Different rooms will have different remote ID numbers. To
communicate properly, the remote control ID must be set to match the optical
alignment system IDs of all of the optical alignment system receivers in a system.
To turn remote on press the lock/unlock button. Green light will illuminate.

Unit and Code settings: (quick start)
A single remote control transmitter may be used to operate one or more
AccuChrom 3 positioners. Dual Inline Package (DIP) switches are used to
prevent unwanted interference between adjacent systems.
Use the UNIT switches to determine which AccuChrom 3 positioners will respond
to which yellow UNIT button on the remote. It is possible to have some units
respond after pressing button 1 and others after button 2 (and so on).
Keep the CODE switches on all AccuChrom 3 aligners and the remote control
that will be used to command them at the factory default (0) setting unless you
experience interference.

Unit and Code settings
Your new optical aligner has been factory set to a default configuration enabling
testing during manufacture.
The installer and/or end user shall set the parameters based on the desired
customer configuration at the installation site.
Unit
By use of the Unit switch, a system is configured to either include (within the
system) or exclude (from the system) optical aligner(s) to be commanded by that
remote control transmitter.
A “one-to-one” or a “one-to-many” command and control structure (association)
can be configured through use of the Unit switch. The Unit selection of a remote
control transmitter must match the 5-position UNIT DIP switch setting of optical
aligner(s) to be commanded by that remote control transmitter.
The *factory-set default value is Unit 1. AccuChrom 3 positioner Unit values
may be configured according to this table.

How to select Remote Control Transmitter Unit setting
The Unit setting is user-selected by pressing the correct push-button along top
row of the remote control transmitter as illustrated below after the remote control
is on (green LED above Lock/Unlock button illuminated). Once the user selects a
Unit number (with green Lock/Unlock LED illuminated), this Unit number is
retained until a different Unit button is pressed.
26
Code
The factory default Code value should work in most applications; the
installer/user should not need to change the Code setting. Only if interference
from other 433.92 MHz remote control devices is present, would this Code value
be changed.
Wireless encryption (tunnel) is used between remote control transmitter and
optical aligners to prevent/mitigate interference from other devices sharing the
433.92 MHz frequency. The optical aligner is capable of operation using any of
eight distinct encryption (coding) scheme combinations selected by the threeposition CODE DIP switches.
In order for any remote control transmitter to work with any optical aligner(s), the
ON/OFF position on the three internal DIP switches the remote control transmitter and the externally accessible optical aligner (3-position Code DIP switch)
must precisely match. Note the *default factory-set value is encryption
code 0. However, other values may be used to mitigate interference.

Alignment and Adjustments and Positioning– AccuChrom 3
Warning - Risk of incorrect (diagnosis or treatment) if alignment is not done
correctly.
• Isocenter of alignment optical alignment systems must coincide with isocenter
of diagnostic of treatment equipment. Test alignment of optical aligner daily,
before use, for first month of operation and weekly after first month. Newly
installed equipment will shift as building walls and floor settle and as building
materials dry out. Re-align optical alignment system to isocenter before use, if
anything has shifted.
• The optical alignment system must be aligned with the diagnostic or therapy
equipment to be safely useful. Only a GAMMEX service technician, or trained
Medical Physicist, Biotech Engineer or Service Technician should perform the
alignment.
Caution - Optical Radiation Risk of eye damage. Do not stare directly at the
light source.
• Alignment procedures need to be performed with the optical alignment system
powered on.
• Look only at optical alignment system light reflected from a diffuse surface
(like paper or a wall).
See Typical Room Layout (page 9) for general concept of optical alignment
system set-up.
Removing the Cover
On the AccuChrom 3, most adjustments and repairs require the removal of the front
cover. Remove the cover as follows: First, turn off the unit. Unplug the power cord
from the main socket. Remove two screws from the front cover using an 1/8” allen
wrench. Slide the cover off.
Plug in the power cord and turn on the unit to make adjustments.
To replace the cover after making adjustments, reverse the process. Turn off the
optical aligner. Unplug the power cord. Replace the front cover and secure it with the
two screws.
Take care not to jar the optical aligner.
Plug in the power cord.
31
Alignment and Adjustments – AccuChrom 3
GENERAL
Test the alignment of the optical alignment systems daily, before use, for the first
month after installation. In a new installation some building movements can be
expected. The first month test the system at least weekly. Isocenter of the
alignment optical alignment system must coincide with the isocenter of the
diagnostic or treatment equipment.
CEILING AND SAGITTAL OPTICAL ALIGNERS
Tape a piece of typing paper to the table under the gantry. That has been leveled
and set at 0°. Project a crosshair on the paper from the gantry. Mark the center
point. Move the gantry out of the way. Project the Ceiling optical aligner crosshair
on the paper. Raise and lower the table. The center of the crosshair should align
with the dot on the paper at all times. The Sagittal line should pass through the dot
on the paper at all times.
SIDE OPTICAL ALIGNERS
Turn on both side optical aligners. Use a piece of typing paper held perpendicular
to the optical aligner light. The two projected optical aligner crosshairs should overlap on the paper. See Figure 6 on page 16.
With the gantry at 0° use a front pointer, which is shown in Figure 2, to verify that
both side optical aligners hit isocenter. If there is not a front pointer, raise the table
to isocenter and project a crosshair on the table to verify that the side optical aligners hit isocenter.
Maintenance/Cleaning
Once installed, the Gammex Aligners should require no maintenance other
than the cleaning of mirrors and lenses according to standard optical practices.
Occasional outside wiping of the dust cover may be necessary. The dust cover
is delicate. Use only a camera lens brush or other soft brushes for this
purpose.

Gammex uses optical alignment systems that are matched for chromacity. The
company strives to match unit-to-unit consistency as closely as possible. Over
time, chromacity may change slightly so that optical aligners purchased at
different times may display slight color variations. If you have questions on this,
please contact the Gammex Service Department.

AccuChrom 3 LED Replacement Kit Instructions
The following directions outline the procedure for replacing the heat sink module. Read
and familiarize yourself with all of the steps before beginning.
Tools Required: 3/32,7/64, and 1/8” allen wrenches
1. Turn off and unplug the unit from the power source.
2. Remove the two screws holding the front cover on using the 1/8” allen wrench.
Slide the cover off and set it aside.
3. Loosen and remove the two 3” long screws fastening the heatsink module to the support frame of the unit.
4. Two small dowel pins help align the heatsink in the proper location on the support
frame. The tight tolerances on these parts makes for a tight fit. The center hole in the
heatsink has been provided to help with removal. Thread one of the long screws back
into the center hole and it will help separate the heatsink from the support frame. There
will be some resistance due to friction of the dowel pins.
5. Once the heatsink has been separated from the support frame withdraw it as far as
the ribbon cable will allow. Unplug the ribbon cable from the underside of the driver
board and fully remove the heatsink. Remove the long screw from the center hole and
set it with the other one. Do not lose either of these screws.
6. Remove the single #4 screw fastening the driver board to the heatsink. Do not lose
this screw.
7. Unplug the thermostat from the
front edge of the driver board.
8.Gently separate the driver board
from the heatsink. Carefully grasp it
by the edges and lift it upwards.
9. Transfer the driver board to the
new heatsink module provided with
the replacement kit. Connect the
new thermostat and replace the #4
screw.
10. Bring the new heat sink assembly close enough to reconnect the
ribbon cable. Make sure the ribbon
cable’s connector fits over all of the
pins on the driver board and is fully
engaged.
11. Align the heat sink to the support
frame and secure it with the two long
screws. Alternate between tightening both screws to bring the
components together evenly.
12. Check the alignment of the unit.
Small corrections may need to be
made because the internal components have been handled.
Note: Electronic components are sensitive to static electricity.
Use standard ESD precautions when performing the replacement procedure.

REPLACING THE TRANSMITTER BATTERIES
The transmitter has a battery compartment on the back that can be opened by
pushing down on the catch and sliding it toward the end of the case. The cover
may be tight. It may be necessary to very carefully pry the opening apart at the
parting line.
It is very important to replace the batteries with the proper polarity in the right
direction as shown. The spring contact always matches the negative (-) end.
These batteries are not rechargeable. Do not recharge them. They are long life
lithium AA, 3.6V, 2.4Ah batteries. Transmitter batteries will not often require
replacement, but when they do, they are available from Gammex Sales Department. The transmitter will not function using commonly available AA batteries,
they are not the correct voltage.
DISMANTLING
The AccuChrom 3 can be removed from the wall by following the reverse of the
installation instructions.
DISPOSAL
The AccuChrom 3 contains steel, aluminum, lead, brass, lead-free paint and
plastic. Recycle according to your applicable laws.
