i Master switch.

2.2. Operating mode

The X-ray unit can function in dierent modes (MULTI-MODE technology):

1) En60 operating mode

X-ray emission at 60KV and 7mA. The X-ray unit automatically calculates the

best exposure time (from 0.01s to 1.00s) based on the selected tooth and

patient size.

2) En63 operating mode

X-ray emission at 63KV and 6mA. The X-ray unit automatically calculates

the best exposure time (from 0.01s to 1.00s) based on the selected tooth and

patient size.

3) En65 operating mode

X-ray emission at 65KV and 6mA. The X-ray unit automatically calculates the

best exposure time (from 0.01s to 1.00s) based on the selected tooth and

patient size.

4) AUTO operating mode

The X-ray unit automatically suggests the best operating mode (En60, En63,

En65) and exposure time (from 0.01s to 1.00s) based on the selected tooth

and patient size.

The suggested exposure time can be corrected from the remote.

In addition, the X-ray unit has a special USER mode that can be set by the

user. The user can select the best combination of load factors (operating

mode and exposure time) for each tooth and patient size.

4. Using the X-ray unit

4.1 Position of the patient

4.2. Positioning the X-ray head

4.3. Position of the X-ray plate or sensor

Patients may be in sternal, dorsal or lateral recumbancy on a wet table.

The parallel technique, where applicable, provides more accurate images in terms of size compared to the bisecting technique. However, in most

cases this is only possible for the most caudal of mandibular molar/premolars. A 12” focal-skin distance (collimator installed) is preferable to obtain

better quality pictures. To avoid exposing the image receiver only partly (whether it is a sensor or photo-phosphor plate system) proper alignment

should be observed.

Position the X-ray head so that the cone is aligned at the desired angle. There is an angulation bezel provided for those who prefer to work with

specic angles (either sternal or dorsal recumbancy).

• The X-ray emission axis is perpendicular to bisecting angle between the image receiver (for example a sensor or photo-phosphor plate) and the

tooth’s long axis.

• As a result, the picture of the tooth will only be distorted by the divergence of the X-rays in relation to the focal spot.

4.4. Setting the exposure mode and time

The exposure parameters are set by following the directions given below:

1) select the tooth to be examined

2) select the patient size

The exposure time is automatically shown on the remote screen.

NOTE: Each operating mode (En60, En63 or En65) is displayed for approximately 1 second according to the tooth or patient size just selected.

Use keys and to change the value from 3 to 25. If the displayed value diers from the one previously saved, icon comes on. To quit this

mode, press key or . The change made to the sensitivity factor is applied to all the teeth and both patient sizes.

The selected operating mode is always used for each tooth and patient size combination in modes En60, En63 and En65.

In AUTO mode, each tooth and patient size combination is associated to the best mode from amongst the ones available. In this mode it is not possible to

assign a mode other than the default for each combination. To set the mode, refer to paragraph 4.5 “Setting the mode and exposure time in USER mode”.

To change the mode amongst En60, En63, En65 and AUTO, refer to paragraph 5.1 “Setting the operating mode”.

4.5. Setting the mode and exposure time in USER mode

In USER mode, it is possible to assign an exposure time and a mode from amongst En60, En63 and En65 to each tooth-patient size combination. The default

setting corresponds to the AUTO mode settings with sensitivity factor F=17.

To activate USER mode, regardless of the mode currently being used, press keys and at the same time. Icon will come on to signal USER

mode is active.

NOTE: If the exposure time is not saved, the change made will be lost after a new entry or as soon as the remote changes over to stand-by.

The suggested exposure time can be changed with keys and . Exposure times ranging from 0.01s and 1.00s belonging to the R20 scale can be

set. Random exposure times dierent from the ones provided in the R20 scale cannot be set.

When the exposure time displayed diers from the default setting, icon comes on.

To save the new setting, make sure icon is on and then press and hold key for approximately 2 seconds. The remote will beep to conrm the setting

has been saved. At this point, make sure icon is o.

Important: after customized settings have been made, the “Original exposure value charts” are no longer valid.

If icon is displayed while the exposure time is changed, it means the set time cannot be saved for the selected tooth-patient size combination.

Either way, the X-rays may be taken with the time displayed.

Important: when the suggested exposure time is changed, the sensitivity factor is also modied (by default set to F=17). Once this change has

been saved, it is applied to all the teeth and both patient sizes

The exposure time can also be modied by changing the sensitivity factor. Press keys and at the same time , the actual sensitivity factor will

be displayed.

The X-ray unit may be a source of infection passed from one patient to another if it is not cleaned properly. For this reason it should be disinfected on the

outside after each use.

If digital X-ray sensors are used, make sure they are always used with disposable hygienic sheaths. When disinfecting the X-ray unit use soft disposable paper

towels and avoid using corrosive substances or immersing the unit in liquids. Do not use sponges or any materials that can be reused.

Wipe down the unit with paper towels dampened with warm water. Alternatively, Lysol or Clorox wipes will work well.

Compatibility tests between plastics and the following products have been carried out with no negative consequences:

• Incidin Spezial (Henkel Ecolab).

• Omnizid (Omnident)

• Plastisept ( ALPRO ) (not tuberculocide as not an alcohol-based disinfectant)

• RelyOn Virkosept ( DuPont).

• Green & Clean SK ( Metasys ) (not tuberculocide since it is not an alcohol-based disinfectant)

9. Dismantling the equipment when no longer used

10. Technical specications

As set out in Directives 2002/95/ EC, 2002/96/ EC and 2003/108/ EC, on the restrictions of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic

equipment along with collection, treatment, recycling and disposal of waste, electrical and electronic equipment, the latter must be treated as municipal

waste, therefore sorted and collected separately. When new equipment of equivalent type is purchased, the waste equipment should be returned to the

distributor on a one-to-one basis for disposal.

As far as reuse, recycling and other forms of waste recovery mentioned above are concerned, the manufacturer is responsible for the actions specied by

individual local laws. Efcient collection of sorted waste separately to recycle and treat waste electrical and electronic equipment aids in preventing negative

environmental impacts while protecting human health. In addition, it facilitates recycling of the materials used to construct the equipment.

The crossed out garbage bin(s) placed on the identication nameplates of the equipment indicates that the waste equipment must be collected separately

from other waste.

ATTENTION!

Illegal waste disposal may involve nes dened by local laws.

REMOTE BATTERIES:

• Type 2 x AA Alkaline 1.5 V

TECHNICAL MEASUREMENT FACTORS:

The high voltage value is measured with a non-invasive instrument.

The anode current is controlled inside with measurement resistors and circuits to obtain very precise measurements. Operation of the circuits is checked at

the time of testing. Once assembled, the anode current can no longer be directly measured.

The exposure time should be evaluated by measuring the time that elapses from the moment in which high voltage exceeds 75% of the nominal value to the

moment in which it drops below this value. Considering the high gradient of the rising and trailing edges of the anode voltage and squaring due to inherent
