InstallationCouch/TableInstall
Secure the couch, install the footswitch, fit covers and set the height indicator
Fully secure the anchor brackets, install and configure the two footswitches on each side, fit the base cover and lower the bellows back into place, then calibrate the couch height indicator against two fixed reference positions on the KGTSM PWB.

Aquilion 16 (TSX-101A) — Installation volume, source 2C201-160, Section 12 ("Positioning and Securing the Patient Couch"), subsections 12.7 through 12.10 (p.117-121)
Personnel
Intermediate — the section moves through four distinct kinds of task: fully torquing down the anchor-bracket hardware (removing bolt "a", tightening the two M8 "b" bolts, then completely tightening the floor anchor bolt) and witness-marking it with steel paint; installing and wiring two footswitches per side (M6 bolt/washer, connectors CNN22-25) with a function (UP/DOWN vs. Auto-set/Auto-home), label, and switch-position selection that has to stay consistent across both footswitches on a side; refitting the base cover, decorative cap, and the bellows that was tied up earlier in the sequence; and a precision, no-meter calibration of the couch height indicator using two trimmer potentiometers (VR6, VR7) and a DIP switch (DSW4-4) on the KGTSM PWB, gated by a specific mechanical movement sequence (a 222 mm-or-longer couch-top IN move from OUT-LIMIT, then a vertical move, to define HEIGHT-1).
