Genesis ULTRA Installation and Connections

27: Leave approximately 18” of cable “CB2” protruding from the front center of the MRI directly
above the table docking mechanism for a service loop, or alongside the base of the gantry.
It is important to locate the end of “CB2” as close as possible to the front center of the
bore.
28: For all MRI’s it is very important to locate the Transducer as close as possible to the front
center of the bore. For all GE MRI’s locate the Transducer either side of the pedestal
above the Up / Down height control peddles as pictured below. Connect cable “CB2” to
the Transducer.
29: There are very sensitive pressure actuated switches for the patient controls located in the
Transducer. During shipping sometimes pressure or vacuums can build in the controls
causing erroneous operation of the patient volume and mode selection buttons. Therefore
it is good practice to let the Controls and Transducer become acclimated to the scan room
environment for a few hours or until the temperature stabilizes then;
a. Vent the patient controls to the atmosphere by momentarily removing the white tubing
one pair at a time and reconnecting them to the nipples on the Transducer observing
polarity for proper synchronization.
30: Insure that the Gradient noise sensing Mic is connected to the BNC connection on the side
of Transducer. Place the Mic anywhere in the general area. Secure with the provided
mounting pad and zip tie.
31: Connect the clear Siamese Headset tubing to the brass tubes protruding from the top of
Transducer. Do not add any additional tubing length to this system, doing so will
adversely affect performance and reliability.
32: Connect the Headset to Siamese tubing.
CAUTION: Please ensure that all connections are complete before connecting AC power cord.
33: Connect power cord from Stereo to AC receptacle 120V / 15 Amp minimum.
34: Connect the plug side of “CB8” to AC receptacle 120V / 15 Amp minimum.
35: Look at the front panel of the Genesis and ensure the all-8 red LED’s are lit under Circuit A
Power and Circuit B Power. If not, unplug the AC power cords and contact Magnacoustics
