A. INDICATIONS FOR USE
The TL-HEX Emergency Tab Kit (TL-HEX ETK) is used exclusively in combination with the TL-HEX system.
The device can be used to relocate two adjacent strut's extremities in case of temporary struts and ring impingement or temporary strut out of range.
NOTE ABOUT THE USE WITH THE TL-HEX SOFTWARE: the TL-HEX ETK has not been developed to be used with the TL-HEX software. However, a software calculation based on the original struts' position, can be used provisionally as
best approximation of the treatment when using TL-HEX ETK.
The device can not be used to convert a standard circular frame into an hexapod (software assisted) frame.
B. APPLICATION RANGE - RING HOLES
The TL-HEX ETK should be connected maximum two holes away from the initial Tab.
C. APPLICATION RANGE - SLOT
The TL-HEX ETK must be connected to the ring using the specific slot.
NOTE : when connecting the TL-HEX ETK to the ring, ensure that their surfaces are on an even plane.
D. APPLICATION RANGE - HEIGHT
The TL-HEX ETK can be connected through a standoff hex (54-11650, 54-11660) no higher than 30mm.
E. ASSEMBLY & REMOVAL
1. Before disconnecting the TL-HEX Struts, insert a quick adjust strut to firmly stabilize the rings
2. Disconnect the struts end from the TL-HEX ring tab
3. Connect the TL-HEX ETK
4. Firmly tighten the TL-HEX ETK using two 10mm wrenches
5. Connect the struts to the TL-HEX ETK and tighten the retention set screw using the TL-HEX Torque Wrench
6. Disconnect the quick adjust strut
7. Remove the TL-HEX ETK with the TL-HEX Driver as soon as the struts can be connected again into the initial TL-HEX ring tab
PRECAUTIONS
• Perform preplanning using TL-HEX software in order to minimize chances of impingements
• Minimize the number of treatment's steps executed with TL-HEX ETK
• Only one TL-HEX ETK shall be used for one TL-HEX frame
• Use the TL-HEX ETK to relocate always two adjacent strut's extremities
• The TL-HEX ETK should be removed as soon as the struts can be placed back into the initial tab
