Grip the accessory and pull it out of the Accessory Housing mechanism. You may need to gently rotate
the accessory and pull it upward in order to remove it.
Locate the short black handle on the right side of the upper or lower accessory arm. This handle is
located at the end of each accessory arm. Turn the handle in a clockwise direction. This will tighten the
opening in the accessory arm, and secure the Multiplanar Accessory Housing Joint.
These steps should tighten the openings at the ends of the accessory arms, and create a tighter fit
around the cylinder of the Multiplanar Accessory Housing Joint.
Troubleshooting: Multiplanar Accessory Housing Joint Rotation
If you cannot rotate the Multiplanar Accessory Housing Joint in the sagittal plane, try the following:
Ensure that you are using the correct handle. There are two handles on the Multiplanar Accessory
Housing Joint. The handle furthest from you when you are facing the ER, on your right-hand side, is the
one to adjust for sagittal rotation.
Ensure that you turn the handle counterclockwise approximately ¼ rotation.
Ensure that you pull the handle outward and hold it in this position while rotating the Multiplanar
Accessory Housing Joint.
If you cannot rotate the Multiplanar Accessory Housing Joint in the coronal plane try the following:
Ensure that the short black handle is properly unlocked by turning it counterclockwise approximately ¼
rotation.
Ensure that the small round pin is properly unlocked by pulling it outward (further to the right) and twisting
is gently in any direction.
Grip the Multiplanar Accessory Housing Joint and gently shake it to ensure that it is not stuck in a
particular position.
If the load cell does not appear to be accurate after you have calibrated it, check the following:
Was the Multiplanar Accessory Housing Joint properly connected to one of the ER accessory arms?
Did you calibrate the load cell with NO ATTACHMENTS on the Multiplanar Accessory Housing Joint?
Was the Multiplanar Accessory Housing Joint properly connected to the Data Acquisition Box?
Was the computer properly connected to the Data Acquisition Box?
Was the main power supply of the Data Acquisition Box properly connected?
Was the main power switch of the Data Acquisition Box turned to the ON position?
I feel the ER shelf height readings are not correct
Ensure the cable connections are correct and are tight at either end.
Check that it is plugged into the correct port.
Re-calibrate the shelves.
Check the DAC Box troubleshooting section.
If you are still having difficulty, re-route the cord from the DAC Box directly to the shelf (i.e. single cord
connection rather than a two-cord connection through the junction box at the base of either shelf ruler).
BE AWARE that the shelf height reading refers to the arm with the shelf / accessory attached and in the
up position. If horizontal then you must subtract 7.25 inches and if down you must subtract 14.5 inches
from the shelf height reading.
