How to ensure safety

Attention!
If liquids or other non-solid materials are spilled in the X-ray unit or on the feed and discharge con-
veyors, or, if the X-ray unit has got dirty for any other reason, switch the unit off immediately and
disconnect the unit from the mains by unplugging the mains plug in order to avoid damage to the unit
or soiling of the objects to be scanned! If the unit is equipped with a UPS unit, switch it off as well
(F 1-31 "How to switch on") or ensure it is switched off! Make sure the unit remains turned off (e.g.
by removing the mains cable (F 1-28 "How to connect the X-ray unit to the mains") or the key) until it
has been cleaned by a competent service technician! 230

Items with loose belts or loose packaging and objects which cannot be placed firmly on the convey-
ors as well as all kinds of clothes must be placed into appropriate plastic containers (see below) to
avoid damages! The objects must not move during the inspection. If required, use plastic containers
with structured foam insert!240

Attention!
Short or flat items have to be put into plastic containers (see below) to be sure they will be detected
and scanned even if placed in an unfavorable position! Alternatively, the X-ray unit can be operated in
Continuous scanning mode! 250

ers. 260
