5.3.5 VERTICAL MOVEMENT
The C-arm can be moved up and down by 43 cm. This movement is motorized. A scale with 1
cm divisions is provided on the lifting column to facilitate precise positioning.
The LIFT buttons are on the C-arm stand next to the lateral handles. To move the C-arm up or
down, you must press and hold down the corresponding LIFT button.
5.3.5.1. VERTICAL OVERRIDE:
The ZIEHM QUANTUM provides an additional feature of a lower limit position.
The lower limit position for vertical travel uses a safety override switch located on and just
forward of the UP and Down vertical travel buttons located on the mobile stand console.
Normal operation prevents the Image Intensifier from hitting the front foot of the mobile stand. In
certain procedures the operator can override the standard down position by pressing one of the
Two Override buttons at the same time they press the Down Button. This will allow the operator
to lower the Vertical height by approximately 3”.

does not collide with any persons or objects!
