ProcedureCouch/ControlAdjust

Set couch autoslide movement range and zero-clear time

Set two related KGTSM console values for the Aquilion 16 patient couch — the couch autoslide movement range and the couch-sliding zero-clear time — over the same HyperTerminal session against the KGTSM boot console.

Applies to
Aquilion 16 (TSX-101A) — gantry/couch control volume 2D201-063, sections 8.1 ("Movement Range Setting Method for Couch Autoslide") and 8.2 ("Setting the Zero-Clear Time for Couch Sliding"); per source, the 310 mm movement-range setting in 8.1 applies even to units without the autoslide function
Personnel
1 technician · Basic-to-intermediate — both subsections are HyperTerminal sessions against the KGTSM boot console: connect the service cable to CN404, enter a numeric value at a prompt, and confirm it at a y/n readback. No electrical measurement, cover removal, or mechanical adjustment is described in this section. The KGTSM keeps whatever value is confirmed until it is rewritten, so read the confirmation line back carefully before accepting (skill assessment derived from procedure content — not an OEM-stated skill level).

CAUTION

Consequence: Not explicitly stated in source beyond the instruction itself.

Avoidance: Even for units without the autoslide function, set the movement range at 310 mm (source callout, p.154, printed as the (2) Caution under 8.1 Description).
