1 | Fit Part A over the rear notch of Part C so that the fixing holes align | ![]() ![]() |
2 | Push two G screws through the holes then add two H nuts Tighten the so they are finger tight | ![]() ![]() |
3 | Fit Part B it to the front notch of Part A | ![]() ![]() |
4 | Taking two F screws and two H nuts push them through the fixing holes by hand then add the nuts and tighten by hand (finger tight). | ![]() ![]() ![]() |
5 | Add the left support, Part D. The peg on Part B mates with the hole on Part D. | ![]() ![]() |
6 | Fit four F screws into the holes between Part D and parts A and B. Add four H nuts and tighten by hand (finger tight). | ![]() ![]() |
7 | Add the right support, Part E. The peg on Part B mates with the hole on Part E. | ![]() ![]() |
8 | Fit four F screws into the holes between Part E and parts A and B. Add four H nuts and tighten by hand (finger tight). | ![]() ![]() |
9 | Congratulations you have completed the assembly of the Phantom holder | ![]() |
Using the Phantom Holder
1 | Placing the SPIRIT Phantom The Spirit Phantom holder has notches in Part A that the screws in the phantom fit snugly into, indexing its orientation. The Phantom should be installed in the Phantom Holder with the Label facing up
| ![]() ![]() |
2 | Placing the holder in the Siemens 32ch Coil The Phantom and phantom holder can now be slid into the Seimens 32 ch head coil | ![]() ![]() |
3 | To ensure the rotational position of the phantom take the rotational alignement jig and place it over the lip of the Coil using the Notch labelled A. The flat part of the jig will sit against the nut on the phantom at the 10 o’clock position. The jig then may be removed. | ![]() ![]() ![]() |
