Ferrous materials can become dangerous projectiles in the
presence of the magnetic field Produced by the Magnet.
Do not Bring any ferromagnetic tools or equipment into
the magnet room.
About this task
Overview
This document contains the procedures for front cover removal
and installation. The front covers consist of two halves and contain
the emergency stop and control panels for the system.
Instructions
for replacing the light strips are also included.
Preliminary
Procedure
Turn off and perform LOTO on the RF and PEN cabinets. See the MR Service Safety Manual, PN 5452735.
Undock the patient table and position the table away from the
magnet.
Front Cover Removal
About this task
The type and order of the side cover removal depends on the components accessed. For left or right front cover removal, remove the corresponding side middle and side front covers first.
Both left and right covers have the vertical light strips attached. Disconnect the power cord from each light before moving or replacing. See Vertical Light Strip Replacement.
The left front cover has the ambient room temperature sensor attached. Be careful of the sensor cable when setting cover aside. When replacing the left front cover, remove and reattach the ambient room temperature sensor. See Ambient Room and Bore Temperature Sensors Replacement.
Remove the 2 screws holding the left or right front cover to the bracket mounted on the magnet, and set the covers aside.
Reverse the instructions when replacing or reattaching the front covers. Ensure proper fit.
Vertical Light Strip Replacement
About this task
For left or right light strip removal, remove the corresponding side middle and side front covers.
Procedure
Verify that LOTO is still in place and the patient table is undocked (see Preliminary).
Disconnect the power cord from the corresponding light strip.

Remove the clips holding the lights to the cover. Cut the wire ties on the back side holding the light strip wire and remove the light strip.

Note: If the current LEDs in the cover are already mounted to adhesive mounts, proceed to Step 10.
CAUTION: Nitrile gloves must be worn when using alcohol wipes and glue.
Assemble the glue gun applicator using the 1:1 plunger, following the manufacturer's instructions included in the box. Make sure to connect the glue and mixing nozzle to the applicator assembly.
Clean the location where the adhesive mounts will be installed using the alcohol wipes provided in the FRU kit.
Figure 8. Clean the LED groove
Install the adhesive mounts into the LED groove. Make sure to install one at the top and one at the bottom of the cover, with the remaining 9 spaced approximately 200 mm apart in the LED groove. Placement is not critical, but should span the whole groove.
Figure 9. Adhesive mount installation and placement
Using the gun applicator, liberally apply glue to the vertical sides of the adhesive mounts. Wait until the glue is no longer tacky (approximately 10 minutes) before continuing to the next step.
Note: It is critical that glue coverage does not extend outside of the LED groove, and that glue does not interfere with the slots for cable tie installation.Figure 10. Glue application
Install the LED strip starting from the bottom to the top of the panel, pealing the backing off the LED strip (approximately 12 inches) to expose the adhesive tape, and continuing up the side as the LED strip is placed. Between adhesive mounts, make sure to press the LED onto the cover to eliminate any gaps.
Figure 11. LED installation
Loop the cable ties through the adhesive mounts, locking the LEDs in place.

Replace and reconnect the light strip by reversing the above instructions. Ensure proper fit.
Finalization
Procedure
Whenever the IRD or trackball control panels are disconnected
and then reconnected, a TPS reset must be completed. (This is not
necessary if the host computer is rebooted.)
Check the functionality of the item replaced. Run the associated
diagnostic, if necessary:
For the IRD: From the Common Service
Desktop, select Diagnostics > Hardware Location > Magnet
Room > In Room Display.
For the control panel: From the Common
Service Desktop, select Diagnostics > Hardware Location
> Magnet Room > SRI Functional Tests.
