F455B – X5000 / 450kV Installation Guide 5
Requirements for the operation of an X-ray System NSI cabinet systems are manufactured in accordance with 21 CFR 1020.40 which regulates the certification and requirements of cabinet X-ray systems. NSI system shielding is based on proven designs with more than 30 years of field experience. We inspect 100% of the products we produce to ensure the requirements of 21 CFR 1020.40 are achieved. The federal regulation states maximum radiation leakage allowed is 0.5mr/hr. at 5 cm from the surface of the cabinet.
The certification of the system is represented in the tag that is affixed to the radiation enclosure as indicated in the federal regulation. The language in the federal regulation regarding certification is as follows:
“The certification shall be in the form of a label or tag permanently affixed to, or inscribed on such product, so as to be legible and readily accessible to view when the product is fully assembled for use, unless the applicable standard prescribes some other manner of certification. All such labels or tags shall be in the English language.”
Typically, an X-ray system must be registered with the appropriate state agency. This registration must occur prior to the X-ray system being placed into service. Regulations may require initial and periodic inspections by a government agency or a qualified vendor. In addition, the regulations may require the implementation of standardized operating procedures, specialized training, and posting of radiation exposure warnings and other special notices.
Radiation safety requirements differ significantly from one jurisdiction to another. It is the users' responsibility to ensure the X-ray system is installed and operated in compliance with all applicable governmental regulations. Failure to comply may result in substantial penalties.
Safety The unloading and transport of NSI systems shall be completed by personnel trained and authorized to safely operate the equipment being used. Lifting equipment must be designed to accommodate the size and weight of the transported material. All equipment must be in proper working order and checked in accordance with the applicable standards and directives. NSI is not responsible for damage caused during the offloading or handling of equipment.
Shipping NSI X-ray systems are delivered on dedicated, flat-bed, air-ride, Conestoga style trailers.
Equipment Considerations System weight and lifting height must be used to properly determine the weight capacity requirements of the equipment being used to remove material from the trailer.

Standard Cabinet In-Plant Transport Sufficient floor and ceiling load capacity of the transport routes must be verified prior to moving material. Transport routes must be designed to accommodate the weight of the transported material and transportation equipment.
NSI systems are designed to be lifted only from the base of the enclosure, any other lifting methods may cause damage. NSI is not responsible for damage caused during the offloading or handling of equipment. See Figures 1 and 2 for lifting instructions.
Following movement of the radiation enclosure to the final location, the system’s leveling feet must be installed prior to placement on the ground. The six leveling feet must be installed as shown in Figure 3. Leveling of the cabinet should be completed by the customer during radiation enclosure placement. A contractor grade construction level, 2ft - 4ft in length, should be used in the X (front to back) and Z (left to right) planes to ensure the system is level. Ensure that all mounting feet are in contact with the floor and equal pressure has been applied to each foot.
For systems requiring seismic isolation feet, installation of the concrete anchors must be completed by the customer, see Fig. 4 for details. To determine layout requirements, see provided system specification drawings.
Figure 1 – Lifting should only be completed by areas marked in red.

Uncrating Materials Standard Cabinet Supporting material crates may be unpackaged, and materials moved to the installation site by the customer. Care should be taken to ensure damage does not occur. Any damage incurred must be immediately communicated to your NSI Project Manager. Disposal of packaging materials and crating is the customer’s responsibility.
Modular Cabinet NSI will uncrate all materials for the installation of the system. Disposal of packaging materials and crating is the customer’s responsibility. Appropriate means of refuse disposal must be supplied while NSI is onsite for installation. Wooden skids and crates contain metal hardware (i.e. lag bolts, metal banding, staples) and may not be accepted by all recycling services.
Modular Installation Tooling and Equipment NSI typically supplies tooling and equipment necessary for the installation of the X5000 modular system. Installation tooling and equipment will be shipped to the site at the commencement of the installation process. Upon installation completion, all NSI equipment and tooling will be shipped back to NSI – Rogers on a dedicated, flat-bed, air-ride, Conestoga style trailer.

Our entire installation team is forklift certified through a 3rd party agency and can provide proof of certification upon request.
F455B – X5000 / 450kV Installation Guide 13
Modular Installation Process Upon arrival at the site our trained technicians will begin the installation process. A sizeable offload and staging area are required for staging and removal of each component from the transport trucks. Our team requires a free and clear path to the installation location from the staging area. Each component of the assembly will be transported to the final location with the use of a heavy-duty moving cart, as required. Our installation technicians will utilize an A-frame style gantry crane to assemble the cabinet and manipulator in the final location.
The cabinet and manipulator assembly will typically be completed in two days onsite; at which point the electrical provisions will be required, reference “Electrical Requirements” on page 13 for more information.
Electrical Requirements Category Value Line Voltage 230 VAC (L1/N/G) or 240 VAC (L1/L2/G) Frequency 50/60 Hz Current Type Single Phase – L1/N/Ground or L1/L2/Ground Required Fuse 60 Amps Total Amps (FLA) 48 Amps
Due to high leakage current created by operation of the X-ray source, an additional 6 AWG dedicated ground (to structural steel or earth ground) must be supplied to the high voltage generator.
The 60 Amp disconnect shall be placed within 15 feet of the system main electrical cabinet. The power cable/wire will be supplied by and landed in the main electrical cabinet by the customer.
Rigid conduit may also be attached to the cabinet for routing of power and ground wires.
Electrical work shall be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with state and local code. NSI is not responsible for damage caused by improper wiring.
Continuous power is essential for quality data processing. Other systems with permanent high-power consumption and systems with peak loads should not be connected to the same electrical circuit as the NSI X-ray system. This avoids malfunctions on the NSI X-ray system.
Workstation Requirements NSI provides provisions for power to the acquisition PC to be placed at the supplied ergo desk.
Additional PCs (reconstruction, review, data storage devices, etc.) shall be placed at a location provided by the customer with the required power provisions available.
Additionally, it is the customer’s responsibility to provide means of data transfer between NSI system PCs. This can be accomplished through interfacing with an existing network or direct connection between PCs. NSI system components are networked during start-up by an NSI installation technician in accordance with the applicable specifications and must not be modified by the customer. Any change may lead to connection problems.
An internet connection is not required for NSI system use but is beneficial where available.
