OPERATION OF EQUIPMENT
Operating Instructions of Transmitter Assembly How to move the cylinder head
- When moving the cylinder head, grasp the cylinder (02) and back part (01) as shown in the picture.

Operating Instructions
Only after an authorized technician have properly installed and
tested the equipment, it will be ready to work.
Verify if the equipment is connected to the main grid.
Turn on the general switch (09) and a green light will turn on. 01
Choose the time scale from 0 to 3.2 seconds according to the work
to be performed. “See radiographic technique chart on page 28”
and set it through the buttons (04 and 05) located on the control.
When the patient is properly prepared for the radiography:
Remove the support control, press the shutter-button (06) (Beep 02
beeping) and keep it pressed.
The “yellow” LED must be lighted during radiation emission.
Note: Turn off the general key (09) whenever the equipment is
03
not in use.
Always keep the remote control in its holder. 04 06

NOTE:
The value indicated on the digital command display refers to the exposure time. To obtain the charge
application time, add 0.2 seconds (pre-warming) to any value indicated on the display.

- As it is a pulse device and depends on the wiring frequency, it is not possible to provide time of
0,063s belonging to geometric series within the range of ± 10%.

Limit and x-ray beam extension recommendation

The X-Ray field is confined within the limits of opening of the Diaphragm (11,2mm - fixed).

Precautions to be observed before the 1st charge application

- Check that all the items from the instructions operations manual have been concluded.
- Place yourself behind the head (opposite the beam) at a minimum distance of 2.5m, to carry out
the activation.

OPERATION OF EQUIPMENT
Radiation bunch characteristics
The pictures below present radiation bunch characteristics with and without the use of extension
whit colimador cone.
The extension whit colimador cone is used to apply the parallelism technique which gives less
distortion to the image generated due to x-ray from film/sensor presented less inclination related
to reference axis.

OPERATION OF EQUIPMENT
Radiography test
After the assembly of the equipment the authorized technician
must carry out a radiography test, using the materials (film, dark
23
room, processor and fixator) supplied by the client, following the
instructions below:
Place the head directed downwards (90o position) next to an 24
horizontal surface (aprox. 50 mm).
Centralize the film (25) utilizing for such the auxilliary points (24)
existing on the Collimator Cylinder (23), put over the film (25), a
metallic object (26). (Ex.: clips or coin) as in the figure below:
Select a time scale of 0.32 seconds. 25
Activate the button “Start” (06) (see pg. 30).

26

NOTE:
The material (clips, coins, film, etc) will not be contaminated, and
can be taken out after trigger.
Develop the film at Dark Room with the following times:
- 1 minute at development;
- 1 minute at fixation.
Afterwards, check if radiography is according to indicated
standard.
In case of differences in comparison, see page 32 “fault”.
If it is not possible to test by the authorized technician (because
