2 Safety
Dürr NDT has designed and constructed this unit
so that when used in accordance with its Inten-
ded Use there is no danger to people or prop-
erty.
Despite this, the following residual risks can
remain:
– Personal injury due to incorrect use/misuse
– Personal injury due to mechanical effects
– Personal injury due to electric shock
– Personal injury due to radiation
– Personal injury due to fire
– Personal injury due to thermal effects to skin
2.1 Intended use
The sensor is designed exclusively for the gener-
ation of X-ray images in an industrial context.
The sensor is designed for use of up to 70 kV
and a total dosage of up to 20 Gy. Any use
above this value can result in deterioration of the
image quality and its informative value. In such a
case, the guarantee claim expires.
2.2 Improper use
Any other usage or usage of the sensor beyond
this scope, especially its application for medical
purposes is deemed to be improper. The manu-
facturer accepts no liability for damage resulting
from improper usage. In such cases, the user/
operator will bear the sole risk.
2.3 General safety information
❯Always comply with the specifications of all
guidelines, laws, and other rules and regula-
tions applicable at the site of operation for the
operation of this unit.
❯Check the function and condition of the unit
prior to every use.
❯Do not convert or modify the unit.
❯Comply with the specifications of the Installa-
tion and Operating Instructions.
❯The Installation and Operating Instructions
must be accessible to all operators of the unit
at all times.
2.4 Guarantee claim
The guarantee claim will expire if the surrounding
conditions are not maintained in operation or the
sensor suffers damage as a result of exterior
force or overly-high exposure values.
2.5 Specialist personnel
Operation
Unit operators must use their training and knowl-
edge to ensure safe and correct handling.
❯Instruct or have every operator instructed in the
handling of the unit.
Installation and repairs
❯All installation, resetting, alteration, extension
and repair work must be carried out either by
DÜRR NDT personnel or by a suitably qualified
person approved by DÜRR NDT.
2.6 Electrical safety

4.4 Evaluation of conformity
This device has been subjected to conformity
acceptance testing in accordance with the cur-
rent relevant European Union guidelines. This
equipment conforms to all relevant requirements.
5 Operation
The X-ray sensor is connected to the computer
via the sensor cable.
The sensor is placed and activated via an imag-
ing software (e. g. D-Tect).
During the X-ray procedure, the x-rays are
received by the scintillator (luminescent material)
installed on the sensor and are converted into
beams of light. These light beams are recorded
by the sensor as image information, digitalised
and transferred to the computer. If an error
occurs during the transfer, the image information
is sent again.
No further X-ray image is possible during data
transmission.

Usage
10 Operation
Before creating X-ray images, first calibrate the
device with the aid of the imaging software.
– Offset calibration
– Gain calibration
– Pixelmap calibration.
Further information about calibration and
image acquisition can be found in the rel-
evant handbook for the imaging software.
NOTICE
