Re-erasing an Image Plate

At the end of a normal or emergency digitizing cycle, the digitizer returns an
erased image plate. However, in the following cases, you must re-erase the
image plate before re-using it in order to prevent ghost images from
interfering with the image of interest:
If the image plate has not been used for more than 48 hours.
If an image plate has been exposed to an exceptionally high X-ray dose.
In this case, deep layers of the image plate may still retain a latent image
after standard erasure. Leave the image plate to rest at least one day before
re-erasing it.
Note: To re-erase an image plate, you must push the Erase button at the front
side before you insert the cassette. After that, you have 1 minute to enter a
cassette. If you do not, the digitizer returns to the standby mode.
To re-erase an image plate:
1 Check that the digitizer is ready for operation:
The status indicator is continuously lighting up in green.
2 Press the erase button at the front side.

The status indicator is continuously lighting up in blue.

Details This error message is displayed on the NX PC:
Cause A cassette has been inserted in the digitizer and the ID button was
clicked directly afterwards.
Solution Wait until the digitizer has read the data on the cassette and sent it to
the NX PC. This may take a few seconds. The error message will
disappear.
Removing a Jammed Image Plate
Note: The technical concept does not allow the user to remove the top cover.
Note: The digitizer always reads and digitizes the plate first, then erases it
and transports it back into the cassette. If a plate jam occurs before the plate
is scanned, there is a fair chance that you can recover the image by putting
the image plate back into the cassette and digitizing it again. While handling
the image plate, prevent exposing it to daylight as much as possible.

Behavior in Case of Power Failure
Note: The description below is only applicable if an uninterruptible power

supply (UPS) is put into the CR system configuration.
In case of a power failure, the system is still connected to the UPS. Two
situations are possible:
Power failure after cassette insertion and before identification with the NX
workstation. The digitizer pushes the image plate back in the cassette
without scanning and releases the cassette. After the power supply returns,
the cassette must be inserted into the digitizer and identified again to read
out the image.
Power failure after identification with the NX workstation. The image plate
is scanned and erased as usual. The scan cycle finishes when the cassette is
released. If the power supply is still not available, the digitizer will refuse
scanning other cassettes.

CR 10-X
Cleaning the Optical Unit
The only maintenance action which you must perform is checking the image
quality. Refer to the User Manual of the NXTM software.
Cleaning the optic unit is required if stripes parallel to the image plate
movement can be seen in the image. When you recognize this type of artefact,
when using the digitizer, clean the optic unit using the cleaning brush.
To clean the optic unit, proceed as follows:
1 Remove the cassette unit.
