This document provides essential information and detailed descriptions about the High Energy Clinac’s installation requirements.
Note: Varian highly recommends you read this document prior to the baseframe and pre-installation kit delivery. To ensure a simple and timely system installation, several pre-working/pre-assembly steps must be accomplished. It is also very important to inform Varian of all information regarding the hospital’s electrical and spatial conditions.
Appendix A “High Energy Clinac Pre-Installation Checklist” includes a checklist that you can use to ensure that all listed requirements are completed and finalized.

1-2 Chapter 1 Introduction
High Energy Clinac Edition High Energy Clinac Installation Timeline Description
1.3 High Energy Clinac Installation Timeline Description New installations of Varian’s High Energy (HE) linear accelerators typically consist of the Clinac iX with the On Board Imager (OBI) option or the Trilogy w/ Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) and OBI. The HE Clinac or Trilogy installation currently takes between 4 and 5 weeks from Delivery and Rig-In through completion of the Linear Accelerator and, if included, the RPM Respiratory Gating and/or Varian Optical Guidance (VOG) Installation Product Acceptance (IPA). The installation process cannot be split based on its subsystems.
The IPA for the Clinac or Trilogy will begin no later than the 4th week, barring unforeseen conditions, and will require full-time services of the site physicist.
Optional subsystems, such as RPM Respiratory Gating or Varian Optical Guidance, will be installed in parallel with the Clinac/Trilogy. The RPM IPA and/or VOG IPA will take place immediately following completion of the Clinac/Trilogy IPA.
The Sample timeline is based on the following assumptions and is in a perfect world scenario.
The Design & Planning, Contract Bid & Mobilization, and Construction processes shall take 5 weeks, 3 weeks, and 9 weeks, respectively, after the placement of the HE accelerator order. Activities prior to order placement are not considered in this timeline.
The accelerator rig date shall be no earlier than 120 days after the order initiation date. This is Varian's standard manufacturing lead time.
The Baseframe shall be installed ~30 days prior to the accelerator rig date.
All pre-installation dates and considerations are individually scheduled by the Varian Project Manager, based on mutual agreement between the customer and project manager and communications with Varian Planning and Sales. The District Sales Manager will coordinate with the customer and the Varian Project Manager for a Configuration Confirmation Meeting or conference call. The Project Manager will engage the customer with regular communications throughout all phases of the project. In addition, the Project Manager typically performs site visits to help answer questions and observe construction progress. Site visits are commonly held for the Initial Site Meeting/Project Kickoff, the Baseframe Pre-Installation Inspection or the Baseframe installation, and the Construction Completion/Pre-Installation Final Inspection. This final visit typically occurs 10-14 days prior to the rig date to verify 100% completion as defined by the HE Clinac Final Checklist.

The patient's position on the Couch is fixed by body markings that are aligned with "cross hairs" cast by the laser lights. Two wall laser positioning lights at isocenter height, a ceiling laser and the sagittal laser are powered by a common circuit controlled via the user interface in the Control Room or Couch Pendant or Couch Side Panels, through a relay. Lasers are usually distributed and installed, at the Customer's option, by Varian. The Customer is responsible for verification of laser types and mounting configurations.
A sink with running hot and cold water is highly recommended in Clinac rooms. A hose spigot is necessary to fill the water phantom and a drain is necessary to service the Clinac's internal cooling system and drain the water phantom. Floor drains and floor sinks should not be located in the room to avoid possible backup into the equipment floor recesses. Do not run water lines directly above the Clinac components or control console.
ModulatorCabinet
Provide beam-on and x-ray on warning lights in the treatment room, and over the door, or at eye level adjacent to the door outside the treatment room. They are usually located adjacent to the emergency-off switches. They indicate beam-on condition and may be required to blink when the beam is on. Verify local requirements with regional regulatory agencies.
Provide emergency-off switches in room (normally closed type, manual reset). In addition to the switches required as part of the room, emergency-off devices are built into the Clinac Stand and Couch, Console and at the Clinac Modulator. Adequate switches must be provided in Clinac rooms so that one need not pass through the primary beam to disable the Clinac. Do not locate emergency-off switches in primary beam. Locate switches to avoid inadvertent contact, such as by gurneys or carts. Verify all requirements with regional regulatory agencies.
This is the secondary shielding.

This is the primary beam shielding.
Exposed grid ceilings allow for access to the overhead laser and relay junction box without the use of access doors. Major service at the equipment Stand is simplified where there are removable ceiling tiles. Coordinate the layout of ceiling tile to ensure that ceiling support system shall not interfere with overhead laser positioning light beam port.
In-Room Monitor
Bulk and shelf storage are required for Varian accessories and various materials used for therapy. The Varian-supplied Accessories include Electron Applicators (cones), Wedges, and other field-defining devices.
Provide one or two CCTV cameras in the room. The CCTV cameras are usually located approximately 15 degrees off each side of the equipment's longitudinal axis. Consult with the Customer for desired location. Provide a power receptacle and signal conduit from the control equipment area at each camera. Do not locate cameras in the primary beam path. Refer to the CCTV System manufacturer's literature for conduit, mounting and installation requirements.
Provide a two-way patient monitoring intercom system. The in-room intercom may be wall and/or ceiling mounted and should be voice-activated or continuous-on. The intercom at the control equipment area should be push-to-talk. Provide a signal conduit from the control equipment area and power to the intercom. Refer to the intercom manufacturer's literature for conduit, mounting and installation requirements.

Primary beam shielding
Extent of primary beam. The total beam angle is 28 degrees (14 degrees either side of isocenter). Primary barrier shielding should extend a minimum 1'-0” (305) beyond edge of the primary beam. Do not locate sensitive electronic equipment (for example, In Room Monitor) in the primary beam path.
There are no recognized acoustical standards for therapy rooms. The primary sound source on dual energy Clinac systems is the Modulator Cabinet. Varian has met no acoustical problems when the Modulator is located in the treatment room. The patients are in the room for a very short time and some seem reassured by the changing sound levels as the machine goes through its cycles. Noise is a concern, however, when the Modulator Cabinet is located next to therapists or others who are exposed to it often. Placing the Modulator in a nearby closet is acceptable. Consult with the Customer regarding preferred location. The use of acoustically absorbent materials is recommended.
This is the recommended dimension to concrete for typical procedures. Recommended face of concrete dimensions assume up to 4" (102) of wall furring. Approximately 16'-6" (5029) isocenter to wall distance may be required at one side of Couch. Consult with Customer.

2.3 Typical Room Configuration
Figure 2-2 Typical R
Provide a minimum 4'-0" x 7'-0" (1219 x 2134) clear opening for equipment clearance at radiation shielded entrance doors to treatment rooms. This clearance allows proper access for rigging Varian equipment.
The amount and type of shielding on treatment room entrance doors have varying requirements based on the presence and length of the maze, and the energy of the Clinac. Generally, low energy Clinacs will require wood doors with a lead core and manual operation. Dual Energy Clinacs usually require steel doors with a lead and borated polyethylene core and motorized operation. Exact Clinac door shielding requirements are dependent on maze and shielding configuration. See typical minimum suggested door shielding.
The In-Room Monitor should be located where the operator can observe it without turning away from either the machine or patient on the couch. The monitor provides information during patient setup and it is unsafe to turn away from the patient while the machine is moving and the patient is on the couch. The In-Room Monitor may be mounted on a wall, ceiling, or shelf. Do not locate the In-Room Monitor in the primary beam path.
The Exact Couch with IGRT couch top is standard with HE ClinacThe maximum Couch Arc clearance is 9'-0" (2743) - recommended.The minimum REQUIRED Full Couch Arc clearance is 8'-4 1/2" (2553).
The recommended couch arc clearance allows complete rotation of the Couch at its maximum radius (retracted). Obstructions inside the minimum required couch arc are unacceptable. However, obstructions between the minimum required couch arc and the maximum couch arc may be acceptable provided they are reviewed and approved by Varian and the Customer. In specific situations, such as dynamic stereotactic treatment, a larger area may be required.
The sagittal laser positioning light is located on the wall at the end of the longitudinal couch axis. Unlike the side lasers, which are at isocenter height, the sagittal laser is typically mounted at a laser output height of 7'-6" (2286) above the floor.
Verify adequate equipment access into room and around maze.
Isocenter - This is the primary reference point for Varian equipment. Show the isocenter location clearly on all relevant drawings. Maintain the isocenter location on site by extending perpendicular axis lines along slab and up walls in all four directions. The standard isocenter height for HE Clinac is 4'-3" (1295).

A steel frame is used to anchor the Clinac Stand, Gantry, and Couch to the facility. The frame is set in a recessed equipment pit, leveled (by Varian), and held in place with grout. Base Frames are positively anchored to the slab to avoid floating during grout placement. Verify anchorage details with your Installation Project Manager office. Varian information regarding pit design assumes a ground floor installation. Upper floor installations require a thorough review by a qualified structural engineer. In typical installations, Base Frames for Clinacs are not positively anchored sufficiently to accommodate seismic loads. All seismic anchoring is by the Customer. Sample seismic calculations and details of the preferred anchoring methods for Clinacs are available from the Planning Department.

The ceiling height recommendation shown at the equipment applies to the area over the Clinac Stand and Gantry. The ceiling height may be lowered as desired in the remainder of the room and maze.
To reduce radiation exposure outside room, air handling ducts should enter/exit the room through penetration(s) above the maze door. The ducts should be placed as high as possible in order to minimize radiation exposure to occupied space. The ducts should be designed to minimize the area of penetration through the wall. in most cases, duct shielding will not be required, provided the duct design conforms to this criteria. Clear space should be left around the duct (outside the treatment room) for shielding retrofit, in case the post installation radiation survey indicates a requirement. Penetration, including ducts, directly into the treatment room should be avoided. For no-maze treatment rooms, duct design and shielding must be addressed by the Physicist of Record.

This pull box may be wall mounted or accessed similar to details in “Baseframe Cable Access Details” on page 3-63. Locate this pull box so that the free ends of cables are protected from physical damage and located within 5'-0" (1524) of the Clinac Electronics Cabinet. As no connections are made at this location, many regulatory agencies do not require a pull box.
The Control Equipment Pull Box shall incorporate a #6-32 x 1" (M3.5 -0.7 x 25mm) screw stud, with lock washer and nut, to accommodate dedicated Ground or Earthing wires from multiple High Energy Subsystems. See “Dedicated Grounding Requirements” on page 4-2 for additional details.
3.1.2.2 Modulator Pull Box
The Modulator pull box is recessed into the floor slab and shall be 18" x 24" x 10" deep (450 x 600 x 250). As no connections are made at this location, many regulatory agencies allow a pull box to be formed within the concrete floor in lieu of requiring a metallic pull box. The size and location of the Modulator Pull Box is very specific, in order to ensure proper placement of the Modulator and Interconnect Cable access. See “Major System Components – Modulator Cabinet” on page 3-9 for further details
3.1.2.3 Baseframe Pull Box
Conduit termination/cable access to the Baseframe (BF) is accomplished one of 3 methods:
1. Standard, recessed pull box below the BF pit, see Figure 3-61.
2. Alternative, surface-mounted pull box, see Figure 3-62.
3. Alternative, trough-accessible, grout-free junction area at the rear of the BF pit, see Figure 3-63.
In methods 1 and 2 above, the BF pull box shall have a size of 12" x 24" x 10" deep (300 x 600 x 250). As no connections are made at this location, many regulatory agencies allow a pull box to be formed within the concrete BF pit floor in lieu of requiring a metallic pull box.

For semi-recessed installations, 4" (100) of the enclosure may be recessed in the wall. Locate this junction box within 45'-0" (13,716) of the Modulator Pull Box.
Typically, the RJB is wall mounted above the acoustical tile ceiling. Service access to the RJB must be maintained; therefore, DO NOT locate the RJB directly above the Clinac Stand or any treatment room casework. Alternately, the RJB can be wall mounted so access can be obtained at standing level from the finished floor. We recommend that the RJB be located out of direct view and, in some instances, may be enclosed with shallow casework. Verify that the location and clearances comply with local codes. For further details, see Figure 3-2, Typical Clinac Conduit Diagram (Plan View) and Figure 3-3, Typical Clinac Conduit Diagram (Section View).

If a closed-loop system design with domestic water backup is selected, provide a means to notify the user that the Clinac bypass valve should be closed in the event that the domestic water backup system is used.
The modulating temperature control valve is located in the Clinac Stand. This valve monitors the temperature of the returning coolant in the Clinac's internal coolant loop. It opens or closes to control the flow of external coolant through the Clinac's internal heat exchanger in order to maintain an internal coolant loop temperature of 104 deg. F. (40 deg. C). This valve may close completely during minimum demand periods. If the bypass loop shut-off valve is open, the coolant is directed through the bypass loop.

When glycol is added to external facility water, propylene glycol is preferred (due to its better environmental safety record compared to other glycols) at a strength not to exceed 50% by volume (v/v).
External water (from city or facility) will require secondary disinfection (i.e. in addition to any bleach/chlorine/chloramine reserve present) to avoid biofilm formation in the machines heat exchanger. Seek advice from a water treatment professional.
Note: The water coolant specification in this section does not apply to the Accelerator’s internal coolant water loop. Only qualified operators or service personnel should refer to the appropriate Varian maintenance/service manual or contact the Varian Help Desk at 1-(888)-Varian5 (827-4265) for the internal coolant water quality specifications.
3.7.3 Compressed Air System
Compressed air is required for the High Energy Clinac. Provide instrument quality, dry compressed air per ISA-7.0.01-1996, with a maximum particle size of 5 μm. If an existing system is not available, provide a dedicated system. Provide a minimum of 1 cubic foot per minute (CFM) at 50 PSIG (1.7 m3/hr. at 3.6 kg/cm2). A 10 gallon (38 liter) tank capacity is adequate.
Terminate 1/2" compressed air line at the Baseframe pit with 1/2" female NPT ball valve. (See Figure 3-57 and Figure 3-58 for termination location.) Final connection from valve in Baseframe pit to valve in Clinac Stand will be installed by Customer/contractor using Varian provided hose kit during Clinac installation.

3.7.4.1 Ventilation
Clinacs will produce detectable levels of ozone under certain conditions. Four to six air changes per hour are normally required to maintain undetectable levels, depending on the size of the vault and air circulation efficiency. Ventilation required to remove the heat dissipated to the vault air normally accomplishes this. The ventilation system should use fresh-air as part of its design. Treatments should not be performed if the ventilation system is not in operation. Long irradiation's at high dose rates, such as those performed for physics measurements, should be followed by airing out the vault. It is important to provide positive air pressure in the Clinac vault to hold swing-type doors closed.

0.72 kW (2,459 Btu/hr) at Control Console Cabinet
0.5 kW (1,707 Btu/hr) at Optional ARIA Workstation
3.7.5 Plumbing
A sink with running hot and cold water is highly recommended in Clinac vaults. Appropriate codes should be followed regarding paddle or foot controls and type of faucet. A hose spigot is necessary to fill the water phantom and a drain is necessary to service the Clinac’s internal cooling system and drain the water phantom. Floor drains and floor sinks should not be located in the vault to avoid possible backup into the equipment floor recesses. Do not run water lines directly above the Clinac components or control console.
3.7.6 Fire Protection
Sprinklers inside the treatment room are discouraged. Their discharge or inadvertent leakage into the Couch pit or into the Stand generate expensive repairs with extended shut-downs. Some jurisdictions allow substitution of Type I construction for fire protection. Detectors are strongly recommended and normally adequate if a type “C” fire extinguisher is available in the treatment room. Heat detectors or photo-electric smoke detectors are preferred because ionization-type detectors can, under certain circumstances, give false alarms. If fire sprinklers are required by local authorities, sprinkler heads should not be located above the equipment. A system valved and controlled by the smoke detector (dry pre-action) can be incorporated so that sprinklers are wet only upon specific need. Semi- or fully recessed, high temperature heads are recommended in wet systems. The safety of non-ambulatory patients should be reviewed if a chemical system is considered. Verify all regional regulatory code requirements.

Shielding High Energy Clinac Edition
3.8 Shielding
For detailed information on shielding data, see “Typical Room Shielding Tables” on page 2-1.
WARNING: Varian Medical Systems shall have no approval or other responsibility for any matter affecting or related to the adequacy of the radiation protection walls and barriers or related safety devices. All radiation shielding designs must meet codes and regulations of all Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) and must be approved by the Customer's or Facility's Physicist of Record and shall be the sole responsibility of the Customer/Facility. The hours of operation, patient workload, accelerator energy, and the shielding materials should all be taken in to consideration when calculating shielding requirements. Serious injury or Death can result from improper radiation shielding
3.8.1 Radiation Shielding Details
Treatment room shielding is required for the protection of therapists and others while the Linear Accelerator has the beam on. Linear Accelerator shielding is provided by either poured-in-place concrete alone (low or dual x-ray energy), lead/steel plates alone (low x-ray energy only), or a prescribed combination of both (low or dual x-ray energy).
The amount and type of shielding on treatment room entrance doors have varying requirements based on the presence and length of the maze, and the energy of the Linear Accelerator. Generally, low energy accelerators will require wood doors with a lead core and manual operation. High Energy accelerators usually require steel doors with a lead and borated polyethylene core and motorized operation. Exact accelerator door shielding requirements are dependent on maze and shielding configuration. See typical minimum suggested door shielding. Accelerator neutron leakage calculations down the maze follow the general guidelines of NCRP Report 79. A Varian monograph titled: “Neutron Doors for High Energy Accelerators,” is available on request. As these doors do not have latching mechanisms, room air pressure must be positive relative to the department. Typically, shielded doors must be “exempted” where fire code labeling is required.
To reduce radiation exposure outside room, air handling ducts should enter/exit the room through penetration(s) above the maze door. The ducts should be placed as high as possible in order to minimize radiation exposure to occupied space. The ducts should be designed to minimize the area of penetration through the wall. In most cases, duct shielding will not be required, provided the duct design conforms to this criteria. Clear space should be left around the duct (outside the treatment room) for shielding retrofit, in case the post installation radiation survey indicates a requirement. Penetration, including ducts, directly into the treatment room should be avoided. For no-maze treatment rooms, duct design and shielding must be addressed by the Physicist of Record.
Provide adequate radiation shielding (usually lead or steel with a 1" (25) margin) behind all junction and pull boxes recessed in concrete walls. Verify thickness and location with the Physicist of Record.
3-56 Chapter 3 Facilities Requirements
High Energy Clinac Edition Shielding
Steel or lead shielding at Linear Accelerator rooms may be embedded in or mounted on the inside surface of concrete walls and ceiling. Additional structural reinforcement may be required. Neutron shielding must be carefully analyzed by the Physicist of Record when lead or steel is to be located on primary or secondary barriers on installations with photon energies higher than 10 MV.
Linear Accelerator shielding calculations follow the general guidelines of NCRP Reports 49 and 51. The TVL of leakage x-rays have been modified based on the report of W.R. Nelson and P.D. LaRiviere: “Primary and leakage Radiation Calculations at 6, 10 and 25 MeV,” Health Physics, 38811 (1984). Copies are available on request.
The shielding table suggestions are based on calculations using NCRP report 151 methodology and measured data. Distances of point of interest from isocenter are taken from Varian’s Typical Room Configuration (see Figure 2-2 on page 2-7). The room dimensions are based on machine clearance. This would translate into a distance of 10 feet from the isocenter to the nearest inner wall surface of the primary barrier.
3.8.2 Radiation Shielding Calculation Assumptions
The primary beam use factor is defined as 25%.
The occupancy is defined as either 100% or 10%.
The weekly dose limit is defined as 20 μSv/week (2 mrem/week).
The workload for standard procedures is defined as 75000 rads/week with 0% IMRT procedures when using the system for 10 hours per day, five days per week, six patients treated per hour at 250 rads per session.
W = 75,000 rads per week for primary walls.
W = 75,000 rads per week for secondary walls.
The workload for standard procedures with 50% IMRT procedures and a modulation factor of F=3.
W = 75,000 rads per week for primary walls.
W = 150,000 rads per week for secondary walls.
The workload for SRS procedures in utilizing the High Intensity Mode (HIM) (dose rates > 1000 MU/min) is defined as 200,000 rads/week with 20% IMRT procedures and a modulation factor of F=3. The assumed system usage is 10 hours per day, five days per week, two treatments per hour at 2000 rads per treatment, typical expected, average six sessions per day.
W = 200,000 rads per week for the primary walls.
W = 280,000 rads per week for the secondary walls.
Chapter 3 Facilities Requirements 3-57
Shielding High Energy Clinac Edition
The dose output in the HIM is assumed to be 1400 rads/min for the 6MV and 2400 rads/min for 10MV.
Except where specifically noted, radiation leakage in non-controlled areas shall not exceed 20 μSv/week (2 mrem/week), assuming 100% occupancy beyond the shielding barriers (per NCRP Report 91 “Recommendations of Limits for Exposure to Ionizing Radiation”).
Most treatment rooms are entered through a maze. This hallway is designed to reduce radiation levels at the entrance door. The length of the maze and the occupancy outside the entrance door affects the amount of shielding required in the door. “No-maze” doors are available from several shielding manufacturers. The use of these doors must be reviewed by the Physicist of Record early in the design process.
Supplement No. 11 (1972) and Supplement No. 17 (1983) of the “British Journal of Radiology” describes two different conventions for referencing the quality of an x-ray radiotherapy beam. The convention presented in Supplement No. 11 has been adopted for this sheet.
The typical room shielding tables information is provided to assist early treatment room design. The Physicist of Record for the project should become involved with the treatment room design as early as possible. With regard to facility shielding, the Physicist of Record is responsible for designing the treatment room radiation shield barriers and confirming they meet applicable regulatory requirements. The facility design is based on regulatory requirements of the regulatory body tasked with oversight of Radiation Producing Devices in the Region, and recommendations of the national Council of Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP).
3.8.3 Other Shielding Information
During Schematic Development for a High Energy Clinac and associated video monitors, consideration should be taken of the proximity to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) units or other magnetic field generating equipment. According to MRI manufacturers, linear accelerators and simulators should be located outside of the 100 µT (1 Gauss) magnetic field created by the MRI. A map of the magnetic field emanating from the particular MRI unit can be obtained from the manufacturer of the MRI unit.

High Energy Clinac Edition General Electrical Specifications
4.1.5 Power Conditioning Requirements
The equipment is sensitive to line voltage variations and source impedance. A complete survey of the electrical supply should be conducted prior to the equipment installation and a copy of this survey should be sent to the regional Installation Project Manager for the equipment file. Isolation transformers and/or power conditioners are required where the electrical power requirements specified herein cannot be met.
Caution should be taken when powering the x-ray equipment from the same distribution source such as elevators, HVAC equipment and other phase controlled loads, because of potential adverse affects on the operation of the x-ray equipment. The supply voltage wave form should be practically sinusoidal with less than 5% total harmonic distortion. Signals from devices that use the power line as a means of distribution can be the source of problems, and efforts should be taken to minimize such effects.
Transients lasting no more than a few cycles will not cause harm if limited to the specified steady state line voltage regulation. Transient suppression is required where larger, longer lasting or frequent transients occur as these can cause interruption of operation and/or equipment damage.
4.1.6 Network Cabling and Termination
4.1.6.1 Cabling
Network cabling must be minimum Category 5e with a minimum bandwidth of 100 Mbps full duplex (100BaseT). The cable run must be a single segment of less than 100 meters (328 feet) from the wall plate to the network switch or router, located within the telecommunications closet. The RJ-45 connector will be labeled as a DATA connection with a unique identifier that delineates the termination point at the Patch Panel, Switch, or Router.
Note: The network data drops must be active at the time of installation with a live connection to the network switch or router.
4.1.6.2 Termination
The Control Console requires a minimum of one (1) network cable outlet (RJ-45) located within three (3) feet of the Control Console. Although the Control Console requires a single network drop, Varian Medical Systems recommends three (3) additional drops for customer-supplied computers and/or a network printer. Varian Medical Systems recommends the use of a modular wall plate that meets TIA/EIA and NEC standards and codes for data communications. The RJ-45 jack must meet TIA/EIA-568-A wiring pattern. Orientation of the RJ-45 wall jack should be at a 45-degree down angle.
Note: The customer may require additional workstations and printers in the vicinity of the Control Console to run customer required applications. Therefore, Varian Medial Systems recommends that the customer pulls three (3) additional Cat 5e cables and terminates each connection into a four-plex modular wall plate. Thus bringing the total number of network drops to the Control Console to four (4).
Chapter 4 Electrical Requirements 4-5
General Electrical Specifications High Energy Clinac Edition
4.1.6.3 TCP/IP Protocol
The Control Console makes use of the TCP/IP protocol suite. Varian Medical Systems recommends that the customer eliminates all unnecessary protocols. Varian Medical Systems requires subnets for the TCP/IP protocol in order to reduce the number of broadcast messages that must be processed by the Control Console to the Radiation Oncology network. The subnet of the Radiation Oncology Department should be kept as small as possible. Large, flat TCP/IP networks running broadcast intensive software will adversely impact the performance of the radiation delivery system. Varian Medical System recommends isolating the Radiation Oncology broadcast domain from the Enterprise Network.
Note: The Control Console requires a static Internet Protocol (IP) address at the time of installation. Varian Medical Systems requires that the network drop provided for the Control Console is “hot” with a live connection to the network switch or router.

This is the load resulting from a fault that is interrupted by the Clinac’s internal, resetable protective circuits. The Clinac produces a 1000A surge at 208 VAC or a 520A surge at 400 VAC. This surge lasts 30 to 40 milliseconds. The circuit breaker specified will accommodate this surge. The disconnect and overcurrent protection capability of the breaker is provided by its interrupt rating of 42kA at 200 to 240 VAC or 25kA at 360 to 440 VAC. Clinacs are covered under Article 517 (Health Care Facilities) of the 1993 Edition of the N.E.C. Part E deals specifically with X-Ray Installations; 517-73, which covers “Rating of Supply Conductors and Overcurrent Protection,” is divided into two sub-sections: a) Diagnostic Equipment and b) Therapeutic Equipment. Clinacs are primarily therapeutic, and therefore fall under the provisions of b), which specifies simply: “The ampacity of conductors and rating of overcurrent protective devices shall not be less than 100% of the current rating of medical X-ray therapy equipment.” A note associated with b), but applicable to all X-ray equipment states that the rating of the disconnecting means as well as that of the overcurrent protection and the branch-circuit conductor ampacity “are usually designated by the manufacturer for the specific installation.” The provisions are consistent with recommendations made in this package.
4.2.1.2 Under-Voltage Release (UVR)
An Under-Voltage Release (UVR) is required to provide the capability of disconnecting all power (except control transformer circuit) when the emergency-off circuit is broken. Otherwise, power is interrupted only by contactors in Clinac power distribution compartment.
If not using the GE Main Circuit Breaker Panel described in Section 4.2.1.1, High Energy Clinac Main Circuit Breaker Panel, the following are required:
GE Circuit Breaker, part #TEDUV8RS 24 VDC (or equivalent).
Uninterrupted 24 VDC power supply.

High Energy Clinac Edition Interconnection Wiring Diagram
4.4.1 General Notes
Use the following description of the Clinac operational states to determine the estimated utility load based on normal treatment cycles:
Standby – A condition usually in effect on weekends and overnight with only minimal electrical supplies operative, but with the water cooling system on.
Mode Release – A condition with no energy selected, all magnet and steering power supplies off, but with the klystron solenoid power supplies operative. Approximately 42 minutes per hour.
Ready/Energy Select – A condition with the Clinac ready to Beam-On. Approximately 6 minutes per hour.
Beam-On – The full-duty condition in which all primary heat sources operate at their maximum levels. Approximately 12 minutes per hour. The Beam-On State is maintained continuously for one hour or more during physics and calibration use.
The estimated number of minutes per hour of each state is based on an average of six patients treated per hour.
4.4.2 Laser Positioning Lights and Optional Bypass/Override Switch
The power to the lasers is typically supplied by a grounded power receptacle at each laser location. A 3'-0" (914) power cord is provided with each laser. The receptacles are controlled through the Relay Junction Box (RJB) as defined by the Interconnection Wiring Diagram (see Figure 4-2). Each laser can consume up to 25W, which varies per manufacturer.
For Q/A or maintenance purposes, a bypass/override switch can be installed to independently illuminate the laser positioning lights. These laser positioning lights are normally controlled through the hand pendant on the couch simultaneously dimming the room lights. This switch will allow the positioning lights to come on without dimming the room lights. If desired, a Single-Pole, Triple-Throw (SPTT) or a Single-Pole, Center Off (SPCO) wall switch should be installed, as shown in Figure 4-2. As an alternative, a Single-Pole, Double-Throw (SPDT) wall switch can be installed; however, the SPDT switch does not incorporate the center off functionality, which terminates power before reaching the RJB.
4.4.3 Room Lighting
4.4.3.1 Room Lights, Setup Lights, Laser Positioning Lights, and CCTV
The room lights, setup lights, laser positioning lights, In-Room Monitor, and Closed Circuit Television System (CCTV) can be controlled by a single room master switch, often outside the room and including a pilot light. The room lights can be on a separate circuit. Laser positioning lights control is automatically subordinated to room lights control on Clinacs and Acuity. A warning that lasers are on is implied when the room lights are off (lasers are turned off when room lights are on).
Chapter 4 Electrical Requirements 4-17
Interconnection Wiring Diagram High Energy Clinac Edition
The room lights and laser positioning lights may have wall switches inside the room, but this is not necessary when they are connected to the Relay Junction Box. Three-way switching is not recommended.
4.4.3.2 Setup Lights
Setup lights are normally dimmable incandescent fixtures, that allow the intensity to be adjusted by the therapists, while aligning the patient to the laser lights. The setup lights are usually located above and to either side of the longitudinal axis. The range of illumination for the setup lights is usually 25 to 40 foot-candles (269 to 431 meter-candles). Their operation is independent of the Pendant and Couch controls.
4.4.3.3 Main Room Lights
Main room lights are used for general illumination, while the patient is moving into and out of the room and for machine and room maintenance. This system normally uses fluorescent fixtures. The range of illumination for this activity is 75 to 100 foot-candles (807 to 1076 meter-candles) at the working level, approximately 3'-0" (914) above the floor. The fixtures are operated from the Clinac Couch and the Couch Pendant through a relay. If skylights and atria are used for general illumination, their contribution to the light level must be coordinated with the requirements during patient setup.
4.4.4 Safety Device Systems
System warning lights are customer-provided fixtures that are required in the treatment room, and/or over the door, and/or at eye level adjacent to the door outside the treatment room to indicate beam-on/beam-off conditions. They may be required to blink when the beam is on. Colored (usually red) lights usually must be placed such that one is visible from any point in a Clinac room. They are usually located adjacent to the emergency-off switches. Verify local requirements with regional regulatory agencies.
Each of the five Warning Light circuits has a maximum incandescent lamp load of 60 watts. If a greater load is required, these circuits can be used to control separate, customer-provided relays. Alternately, LED fixtures can be substituted. Fluorescent fixtures are not approved.
4.4.4.1 Beam-On Warning Lights
The BEAM ON warning light illuminates when treatment radiation (MV) is being produced by the accelerator and is mandatory. Provide no less than one Beam On warning light located over the door, on the outside of the treatment room. Verify additional requirements with regional regulatory agencies.
4-18 Chapter 4 Electrical Requirements
High Energy Clinac Edition Interconnection Wiring Diagram
4.4.4.2 Beam Ready Warning Light
The BEAM READY warning light illuminates when all interlock conditions have been cleared and the accelerator is in a ready state to generate treatment radiation (MV). A Beam Ready warning light in the room and/or over the door may be required. Verify local requirements with regional regulatory agencies.
4.4.4.3 Beam-Off Light
The BEAM OFF warning light illuminates when the accelerator is not in a radiation-generating state. Most sites do not use this feature. Verify local requirements with regional regulatory agencies.
4.4.4.4 X-RAY ON (OBI) Warning Light
The X-RAY ON warning light illuminates when imaging radiation (KV) is being produced by the On-Board Imager and is mandatory. Provide no less than one X-RAY ON warning light, located over the door, on the outside of the treatment room. This light is commonly red-colored and may be required to blink when the OBI X-Ray is on. Verify additional requirements with regional regulatory agencies.
4.4.4.5 Generator ON (OBI) Warning Light
The GENERATOR ON warning light illuminates when the On-Board Imager is in a ready state to generate imaging radiation (KV). A Generator On warning light warning light in the room and/or over the door may be required. This light is commonly white-colored and may be required to blink when the OBI X-Ray is on. Verify local requirements with regional regulatory agencies.
4.4.4.6 Emergency-Off Switches
Provide emergency-off switches in room (normally closed type, manual reset). In addition to the switches required as part of the room, emergency-off devices are built into the Clinac Stand and Couch, Console and at the Clinac Modulator. Adequate switches must be provided in Clinac rooms so that one need not pass through the primary beam to disable the Clinac. Do not locate emergency-off switches in primary beam. Locate switches to avoid inadvertent contact, such as by gurneys or carts. Verify all requirements with regional regulatory agencies.
4.4.4.7 Safety Door Interlock Switches
Safety door interlock switches are required for all installations. Provide for both 12 VDC and 120/220 VAC door interlocks. They are normally open type switches and are used to ensure the room doors are closed during Clinac operation. Verify with the door manufacturer the type of switches supplied with the door or provide compatible type.
Note: Second door interlock switches are shown for paired entry doors. Both interlock switches must be provided at each entry door.
Chapter 4 Electrical Requirements 4-19
Interconnection Wiring Diagram High Energy Clinac Edition
A separate, 12VDC Optional Door Interlock can be accommodated in the door interlock circuit. In addition to being used in conjunction with a Neutron Door, the Optional Interlock can be used in conjunction with mechanical/storage rooms within the vault or other ancillary spaces. Contact your Varian Regional Planner for more detail.
4.4.5 Power Receptacles/Switches
4.4.5.1 Setup Lights
Provide a dimmer switch for setup lights. This switch is used to adjust the illumination level of the set-up lights so that they are dim enough for clear visibility of the lasers, but bright enough for safe movement through the room.
4.4.5.2 In-Room Monitor
Provide an electrical power receptacle at each In-Room Monitor location.

Provide FFDA Storage (Dual Energy Clinacs and Acuity only). FFDAs are accessories mounted into the electron applicator to shape the electron treatment field. They are usually stored in drawers that are approximately 2" (51) deep by 2'-0" (610) wide. Due to their heavy weight, store them as near as possible to the Collimator and at accessible heights. Typical Clinac rooms require storage for 40 FFDAs. Typical Acuity rooms may require storage for 10 FFDAs. FFDA sizes vary from 4"x4" (102 x 102) to 11"x11" (280 x 280). The required number of drawers will vary with drawer size. Several 4" (102) deep drawers should also be provided.
Bulk and shelf storage are required for Varian accessories and various materials used for therapy. The Varian-supplied Accessories include Electron Applicators (cones), Wedges, and other field-defining devices. Storage space in the treatment room should be planned to reduce travel required for patient set-up. Patient block tray storage should be located on the entrance side of the Treatment Couch. Linen storage in the treatment room and storage space for many patient positioning pads and devices is desirable.
Many spare parts are shipped with the equipment and an optional spare parts kit can be ordered. These will require secure storage in or near the treatment room.
General Clinac room storage requirements are outlined below. This is only a partial list of storage items required for a typical Clinac room:> Treatment room furniture - chair, mirror, coat rack, foot stool, waste can, I.V. poles, oxygen bottle cart, film holder cart, soiled linen cart and total body irradiation "stage."> Miscellaneous storage items - spare parts, demineralized water, physics dosimetry equipment, film markers (letters), solder wire, restraints, "easy mover" stretchers, immobilization devices, patient shielding accessories, patient set-up accessories, patient marking accessories, arm/shoulder extenders, hand grips, breast boards and "alpha cradles (formed foam cradle).”

Carpeting, Vinyl, Wood, and Other Flooring Requirements High Energy Clinac Edition
5.4 Carpeting, Vinyl, Wood, and Other Flooring Requirements
As with most computer components, the electronic components for this equipment are sensitive to localized static electricity. Vinyl composite tile (VCT) or vinyl sheet goods (VSG) adjacent to the equipment in the room or at the control console area should be considered as static dissipative as outlined in EOS/ESD S7.1 and ANSI/ESD S20.20. Retrofit static dissipative coatings are also available from various manufacturers.
Carpet, while having advantages, can make gurney movement difficult. In addition, liquids and stains on carpeting can be difficult to clean/remove, thereby posing an infection control risk. Those facilities that do choose carpeting often use carpet squares that can be replaced or cleaned and allow access to floor conduit/duct if used. Similar to vinyl flooring above, the electrostatic propensity of carpeting must be limited. Carpeting should not exceed a 2.0 kV rating at 20% relative humidity when measured as outlined by the methods in AATCC-134 or equivalent.
To avoid potential damage to the accelerator and its subsystems, it is recommended that the final floor covering be installed before the equipment has been rigged onto the Baseframe. Coordinate equipment rigging and required floor protection with the Varian Installation Project Manager prior to machine delivery.
5.5 Acoustical Requirements
There are no recognized acoustical standards for therapy rooms. The primary sound source on High Energy Clinac systems is the Modulator Cabinet. Varian has encountered no acoustical problems when the Modulator is located in the treatment room. The patients are in the room for a very short time and observations indicate that some seem reassured by the changing sound levels as the machine goes through its cycles. Noise is a concern, however, when the Modulator Cabinet is located next to therapists or others who are exposed to it often. When located outside the vault, placing the Modulator in a nearby closet is acceptable and the use of acoustically absorbent materials is recommended. Consult with the Customer regarding preferred location.
5.6 Typical Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) System
There are no windows in an accelerator treatment room; however, it is critical to patient safety that the therapists maintain visual contact with the patient at all times. The CCTV System is offered by Varian as an optional purchase. If not purchased from Varian, the Customer must provide a CCTV System.
While not connected to the equipment a Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) system is required for CLINAC Accelerator operation. The CCTV System Diagram (see Figure 5-8) represents a typical installation only. All power receptacles, conduit, and pull boxes shall be supplied and installed by the Customer.
The CCTV Cameras are located in the treatment room with the accelerator at approximately 15 degrees each side of the equipment longitudinal axis line. Consult with the Customer for desired placement. Provide a standard power outlet directly adjacent to each camera. Do not locate cameras in the primary beam path.
5-10 Chapter 5 Finishes
High Energy Clinac Edition Typical Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) System
The CCTV System camera control units are located at the control equipment casework and require a power receptacle.
CCTV monitors must be located as close as possible to the CLINAC display monitors at the control counter, and must be visible during treatment. The CCTV monitors must be located with patient privacy in mind. The monitors may be recessed in the control console casework and viewed through cut-outs covered with glass. Provide a power receptacle for each monitor. Refer to the CCTV System manufacturer's literature for mounting and installation requirements. A non-interruptible power source may be required by regulatory code.
Figure 5-8 Typical CCTV System Diagram
Refer to Figure 3-2 for conduit requirements.

Ceiling Finishes High Energy Clinac Edition
5.7 Ceiling Finishes
Varian Medical Systems does not specify a type of ceiling finishing. However, experience has shown the benefit of a 2 x 4 (600 x 1200) or 2 x 2 (600 x 600) Lay-in Acoustical Tile. Among its benefits are easy access to above ceiling structures/systems, low repair and modification cost, acoustical attenuation, and the aesthetic benefits of modern ceiling grids and tiles.
The recommended minimum finish floor to finish ceiling clearance is 9'-0" (2743). For sites with ceiling clearance issues, a portion of the ceiling not located directly above the accelerator may be installed below the recommended height. However, to allow for rigging, assembly, and operational clearances, certain area central to the accelerator must remain 9'-0" (2743) or greater. See Figure 5-9, Typical Reflected Ceiling Plan for additional information.
To avoid interference with the overhead laser, start the ceiling support grid pattern so that Isocenter is at the center of a tile. If a solid ceiling is used, provide an access panel with adequate space for servicing the laser. See Figure 5-9, Typical Reflected Ceiling Plan.
When laying out the air conditioning and fire suppression systems, do not route the duct or water pipes directly over the accelerator. Inadvertent leaks may occur and can seriously damage the accelerator and mechanical systems within the Baseframe.
Verify ceiling height requirements with local and regional regulatory agencies. For ceiling conflicts located directly above the accelerator, contact your Regional Planner.
5-12 Chapter 5 Finishes
High Energy Clinac Edition Ceiling Finishes
Figure 5-9 Typical Reflected Ceiling Plan
The ceiling support grid pattern places isocenter at the center of the tile to avoid interference with the projection of the laser output.See section 3.10, Figure 3-45.
Main Room Lights - Incandescentor fluorescent fixtures. Typicallyused for housekeeping, servicingof the machine, and transportingthe patient in and out of thetreatment room.
The recommended minimum finish floor to finish ceiling clearance is 9’-0” (2743). For sites with ceiling clearance issues, the ceiling may be installed below the recommended height.
To allow for rigging, assembly, and operational clearances, the finish ceiling in this area must be 9’-0” (2743) or greater.
Setup Lights - Locate on bothsides of the couch. The setuplights should be controlled bydimmer switch to allow thetherapist to adjust the light levels to their preference.

Term Definition
Glossary-4
Intercom Two-way electronic communication device used to monitor the patient audibly in the treatment room from the control console during treatment. The intercom is important for dialog between the therapist setting the patient up and the radiation equipment operator, and to monitor the patient when the therapist is out of the treatment room. The intercom should have duplexing and be voice-activated or continuous-on in the room and push-to-talk at the control console. When the Acuity and its console are in two adjacent areas with no door between, an intercom may not be needed.
Isocenter The point in three-dimensional space about which the Gantry, Collimator and Couch turntable rotate in common. This point is the central reference for all calibrations and critical shielding dimensions. It is the reference for positioning the Baseframe pit, Lasers, Couch, Clinac/TrueBeam/Acuity and the patient during treatment procedures.
Junction Box A conduit body that is used to access and terminate conductors or house an electrical device. For purposes of Clinac and Acuity requirements, the Varian-supplied cables are pulled and housed in conduits terminated at Pull Boxes, while the lighting control relays are housed in a junction box.
Laser Positioning Lights Laser devices used to position the patient on the couch for treatment or simulation. Four lasers are used in the treatment room. Their light beams intersect at the isocenter. The side and overhead lasers throw both vertical and horizontal beam planes that create a crosshair. The sagittal laser is located ahead of the Couch and at least seven feet above the floor and throws only a vertical beam plane. Rigid installation of the lasers is critical. A back pointer laser, which is mounted on the Gantry counterweight or beamstopper, may be ordered with the equipment. The back pointer laser, along with the wall-mounted lasers, creates an intersection of light defining the radiation exit axis.
Last Man Out See Search/Evict.
Longitudinal Axis also known as Sagittal Plane
An imaginary vertical plane that coincides with the rotational axis of the Gantry and bisects the patient couch.
Maze A treatment room entrance hallway designed to reduce radiation levels, particularly neutrons, at the entrance door. The length of and occupancy beyond the maze affects the amount of shielding required in and around the door.

Neutron Radiation A particle form of Secondary Radiation produced by high (>= 10 MV) energy photons incident on high atomic number materials such as steel and lead.
Occupancy The purpose or activity for which a space is used with regard to an occupant's length of stay while radioactivity is present. The values used for determining requirements in Varian documents are: 0% for no occupancy within a 60 foot (18,300) radius from the radiation source; 10% for exterior areas; 25% for service or circulation areas; 50% for treatment, exam and waiting areas; 100% for control, office or areas of unknown occupancies.
Pendant Hand-held remote control unit attached to the Couch that is used to position and adjust the Couch, Gantry and Collimator for patient treatment. The Pendant also houses controls for room lights and Laser Positioning Lights.
Photon Radiation A Primary Beam of low (< 10 MV) or high (>= 10 MV) energy penetrating x-ray radiation generated by the accelerator for treatment. Low energy accelerators have a single x-ray energy of less than 10 MV, while Dual Energy accelerators have one similar low energy, and one high energy x-ray energy of 10 MV or greater. The term “Photon Radiation” also refers to the x-ray leakage radiation and scatter radiation that is either emitted from the accelerator or scattered from the shielding barriers, respectively.
Term Definition
Glossary-6
Physicist of Record The physicist with the responsibility for assessing parameters and limits associated with the Clinac, TrueBeam, VariSource, or GammaMed. With regard to facility shielding, the Physicist of Record is responsible for designing the treatment room radiation shield barriers and confirming they meet applicable regulatory requirements. The facility design is based on regulatory requirements of the regulatory body tasked with oversight of Radiation Producing Devices in the Region, and recommendations of the National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP). Confirmation of the shielding adequacy is assessed with a radiation survey performed by a qualified physicist, which may or may not be the Physicist of Record. The Physicist of Record will correspond with the Region's Department of Health Services (or equivalent) regarding the design and results of the radiation survey.
Physics Port See Experimental Access Conduit (also known as Physics Port).
PortalVision™ (PV) Real-time imaging system for monitoring and verification of treatment field and shielding blocks in relation to anatomical landmarks. The effect of PortalVision on the architectural requirements is limited to an increase in the control console requirement.
Power Panel An assembly of circuit protection and control devices.
Primary Beam Radiation The emission or propagation of photons or electrons along the main axis or direction of the generating equipment (see Photon Radiation and Electron Radiation). Varian accelerators generate a 28-degree primary radiation beam cone from a source in the Gantry (measured one meter back from isocenter). Acuity generates a 39-degree primary radiation beam cone from a source in the Gantry (measured one meter back from isocenter). Shielding for the primary beam must consider the 360-degree rotation of the Gantry and should extend at least one-foot (305) beyond the beam cone.
Pull Box A conduit body that is used only to access conductors. The distinction is made to simplify the NEC or other regulatory agency requirements for placement and construction of these structures. The Control Console, Baseframe, and Modulator boxes are Pull Boxes.
Radiation monitor/detector
Device that senses radiation and issues a warning when the radiation level exceeds the preset standards. Some jurisdictions require them in accelerator rooms as a precautionary measure.
Radiosurgery A method of treatment that uses a single, high dose of radiation to alter the tissue to cause necrosis or fibrosis. This procedure uses Gantry, and sometimes Couch, movement during the treatment to minimize exposure to surrounding tissue.
Radiotherapy A method of treatment using multiple, small radiation doses to gradually shrink and kill malignant tumor cells.
