Operating the Patient Positioning
System Manually (Emergency Release

Mode)
The Patient Positioning System (PPS) is the mechanical arm that serves to position
the patient laying on the couch. It has six axes of movement that can be controlled
using the hand-pendant or the remote positioning controls. In such a case, all
movements are electrically executed.
For more information on the PPS, see Chapter 7, “Moving the Patient Positioning
Devices”.
In case of a power failure or of a Therapy Control System (TCS) failure, you can still
move the Patient Positioning System (PPS) or unlock the PPS axis using the Leoni
Orion emergency hand-pendant.
