Automatic Docking and Undocking
Overview: Automatic Docking
A docking device such as a couch can be automatically docked onto the PPS. The
typical automatic docking process is as follows:
1. The trolley (also called ‘gurney’), with the docking device mounted on it, is
positioned in a dedicated docking position in the treatment room.
2. The PPS knows this docking position and therefore can line up its air locking
coupler with the coupler of the docking device.
3. Both couplers get engaged; you then must manually lock the docking device
coupler and the PPS coupler by pressing the button on the wrist (see Figure 13-
4).
4. When locked, you can lift the docking device from the trolley and move it to the
treatment position.
Overview: Automatic Undocking
Conversely, a docking device can be automatically undocked from the PPS. The
typical automatic undocking process is as follows:
1. The PPS moves the docking device away from the treatment position to the
dedicated docking position where a trolley is waiting to receive the docking
device.
2. After the PPS automatically lowers the docking device onto the trolley, you must
manually unlock the docking device coupler from the PPS coupler by pressing
the button on the wrist (see Figure 13-4).
3. You can then instruct he PPS to move away from the docking location, enabling
you to remove the trolley from the treatment room.
CAUTION It is recommended not to jog in the docking area.
