• Switch the unit off before servicing or maintenance. Always disconnect the power plug
first.
• XP Hybrid: Make sure that the main switch and the battery mode are switched off.
• The capacitor bank discharges to < 40 V in approx. 15 minutes.
• The safety covers can be removed after this period has elapsed. The locations with
dangerous voltage still require extreme caution (see (Fig. 2 / p. 10)).

1.8 Cleaning
• Always disconnect the MOBILETT from the power supply and switch it off before clean-
ing or disinfecting it.
• Never use abrasive cleaners or cleaning agents with solvents (e.g. cleaning solutions,
alcohol or spot removers), since they may damage housing surfaces.
• Do not spray anything on or into the unit.
• Wipe off the MOBILETT with a cloth moistened in water or a diluted, lukewarm solution
of water and dishwashing liquid.
For more information, see the section on "Cleaning and disinfection" in the operating
instructions.
*SPC - spare parts catalog. The material number should be taken from the material infor-
mation that is current on the due date.
Replace damaged or missing screws.
Materials needed for periodic replacement can be requested from the responsible local
Uptime Service Center.
2.5 Protocol
The maintenance protocol must be completed and signed. Replacement and repair mea-
sures must be listed separately in the protocol under “Work procedures performed".
To ensure compliance with the applicable regulations in the “US Federal Perfor-
mance Standard", the system user is responsible for performing maintenance pro-
cedures at least once each year.
Neither the system manufacturer nor its representatives assume any responsibility
in the event of non-compliance with the above requirements.
The maintenance protocol lists these abbreviations for the test items.
- Maintenance records
- Service reports for repairs and adjustments
- DHHS documentation
3.1.1 Damage
• Check the unit for external damage (cracks, breaks, scratches, corrosion etc.).
• Check whether the single tank or the multileaf collimator show any signs of mechanical
defects that can impair the radiation protection.
• Repair or replace affected parts.
PMP Covers
PMP Cassette holder
PMP Control panel and display panel
PMP Release cable
PMP Single tank
PMP Collimator
PMP DAP (optional)
• The DAP ionization chamber should not have any scratches.
• No damage to DAP supply line, plug or display
PMP Remote control (optional)
• No damage to remote control
NOTE First perform the work steps described in the "Back wheels" sec-
tion on one wheel. Then check the other wheel.
NOTE Under normal operating conditions, the drive belt does not need to
be readjusted during the life of the system.
NOTE After checking the wheels, leave the system elevated and check
the castors.
3.2.2 Castors
• Lock the back transport wheels with the parking brake.
• Elevate one side of the system.
SIM Secure attachment
• Check the attachment.
PMP Smooth rotation
• Check that the castors rotate freely.
Fig. 3: Castors
.
3.2.4 Braking
SIM Uniformity
• The brake pad should not rub during transport.
• Brake the system during transport. The system should not pull to one side during brak-
ing.
SIM Braking force
• Activate the brake.
• Use the spring balance to pull the system forward and back.
• The system should not move under 350N (adjusting the brakes is described in the "Re-
placement of parts" instructions)
3.2.6 Handles
SIM Attachment
• Verify that the support arm and collimator handles are securely attached. Tighten the
screws, if necessary.
NOTE Replacing the cable winch, including the cable and power plug:
MOBILETT XP (Eco) every 2 years
MOBILETT XP Hybrid every 4 years
• If the replacement interval has been reached, replace the cable winch according to the
"Replacement of parts" instructions.
SIE Check for mechanical defects
• Pull the entire mains cable (6m) out of the cable winch. Check the cable for visible dam-
age.
PMF General cable winch information
• Pull the entire mains cable (6m) out of the cable winch. Hold the cable while coiling and
move it up and down until the cable is fully coiled. Verify that the cable winch and the
brake work properly.
• If necessary, replace it according to "Replacement of parts".
PMP Cleaning
• Clean the mains cable with a cloth. Dampen the cloth with a mixture of lukewarm water
and household cleaner.
3.2.16 Lubrication
Remove the cover of the column stand.
PMP Pull-bar slide bushing
Lubricate the pull bar of the side bushing (Fig. 15 / p. 35).
NOTE Use other service programs only if the user requests changes. For
detailed information, refer to the troubleshooting instructions in
SPR8-230.840.01... The value initially set should be taken from the
start-up protocol.
3.4 Collimator
NOTE Do not touch the lamp with bare hands. Touch the bulb only with a
clean, dry cloth.
3.5.1 Batteries
During normal operation, the longest charge time is approx. 12 hours. Three yellow LEDs
light on the control panel (1/Fig. 26 / p. 44).
One discharge cycle allows for 80 exposures with maximum kV/mAs values and transport
operation of approx. 3,000 m. The red "Battery error" LED lights up on the control panel
(2/Fig. 26 / p. 44) when the charge is insufficient for exposure operation. Transport opera-
tion is still possible for approx. 1,000 m.
Realistic statement: The MOBILETT does not need to be charged during the 12-hour
workday.
If the lowest battery charge is reached in < 5 hours, the battery must be replaced.
WARNING Lethal shock hazard exists. It is possible to come into contact with
dangerous components during measurement with the covers
open.
Death or serious bodily injury can occur.
¹ Perform the measurement according to the instructions
SPR8-230.840.01. Follow the general and product-spe-
cific precautions.
NOTE Completely reassemble the system and attach all the covers for
the following work procedures.
3.6 Options
3.7.1 kV accuracy
Requirement:
The measured kV values must comply with the limit values specified in the tables. One of
two measuring methods can be used:
1.) kV meter method:
kV meter procedure:
• Prepare the kV meter for the measurement according to the operating instructions.
• Place the measuring detector on a suitable surface and adjust the single tank to the de-
tector with the light localizer (Fig. 27 / p. 48).
• Set the source-image distance to the value specified in the kV meter operating instruc-
tions.
* The measuring inaccuracy of the measuring instrument used must be deducted from the
specified limit values.
Record the measured values.
PMF kV accuracy 52 kV, 50 mAs
PMF kV accuracy 81 kV, 20 mAs
PMF kV accuracy 133 kV, 12.5 mAs
PMF kV accuracy 125 kV, 12.5 mAs
Oscilloscope method:
• Close the multileaf collimator and open the upper unit cover.
• Clamp the oscilloscope to the "JR" and "GND" measuring points on CPU D916.
For the MOBILETT XP (Eco):
• Connect the power plug and turn the unit power switch "ON".
For the MOBILETT XP Hybrid:
• Pull the power plug and switch the unit to the battery mode first and then "ON".
After switching the unit on (switch setting: "ON"), wait for approx. 5 minutes to let it stabi-
lize.
Example: Calculation of the mAs value
• Determination for the following exposure parameters (product of tube current x expo-
sure time):

* The measuring inaccuracy of the measuring instrument must be deducted from the
specified limit values.
P Calculate and record the mAs values.
PMF kV accuracy 40 kV, 5 mAs
PMF kV accuracy 81 kV, 2 mAs
PMF kV accuracy 133 kV, 10 mAs
Requirement:
• The coefficient of variation for the radiation dose for any combination of exposure pa-
rameters does not exceed 0.045. This requires operation at the line voltage compliant
with Siemens specifications.
NOTE In the following test, 10 sequential exposures are taken within one
hour.
The exposure parameters should be briefly set to different values
following each measurement.
Fig. 30:
The following shows an example of the procedure. Follow this procedure and record the
result in the protocol.
Coefficient of variation C must be ≤ 0.045.

Step 2)
• Addition of measured values:
∑ = 1,01 + 1,02 + 1,03 + 1,04 + 1,03 + 1,02 + 1,02 + 1,01 + 1,03 + 1,04 = 10,25

Calculation of standard deviation:
Fig. 32:
Fig. 33:
Fig. 34:
Step 4)
• Calculation of coefficient:
Fig. 35:
In this example, the generator complies with the specification:
C = 0.0105, hence it is ≤ 0.0450.
NOTE Completely reassemble the system and attach all the covers for
the following work procedures.
3.11 Cleaning
• Dampen a cloth with a mixture of lukewarm water and regular household cleaner. Clean
the entire system.
