1. System Precautions and Safety
Safety Information
Installation Warning
The operators of this equipment are responsible for the safe and prudent installation of the detector in
their own system. All X-ray sources and controls, shielding, personnel safety monitoring devices, and
personnel safety precautions involved in the acquisition and display of data are the responsibility of the
user.
Safety Statement
The general safety precautions that follow must be observed during all phases of installation, operation,
service and repair of this system. Failure to comply with these precautions, or with specific warnings
noted in this manual, violates the safety standards of design, manufacture and the intended used of this
system. Teledyne DALSA assumes no responsibility for the user’s failure to comp ly with these
requirements.
Warning: This X-ray detector system, when installed, is subject to exposure from X-rays during
operation.
To ensure personnel safety, it is necessary that a radiation meter be used to check for radiation leakage
after installation of the digital detector in the end users system.
Teledyne DALSA assumes no responsibility for the proper installation of X-ray shielding, X-ray shield
enclosure testing, or safe and prudent operation of the detector system in the user’s installation. It is the
user’s responsibility to ensure that local and federal guidelines regarding the installation and operation of
X-ray sources are followed.
The voltage specifications must be strictly adhered to or the system will no longer be considered covered
under warranty.
Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere.
This system is not intrinsically safe for operation in explosive atmospheres.
The detector is NOT designed to be “fail safe.”
Provision for safe failure modes must be designed into the system in which the detector is used.
No User Serviceable Components
There are no components in the detector system that need to be replaced, modified, or adjusted by the
end user. Please contact Teledyne DALSA Support for assistance if needed.
Safety Warning: The detector has anti-tamper seals affixed to the sensor cover. Tampering with
this product voids the warranty and may degrade the detector's image quality, possibly resulting
in an unsafe condition.
This equipment generates and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and operated in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to other devices in the area.

Disposal of Product
Dispose the unit in accordance with local regulatory guidelines.
Installation Precautions
Never connect or disconnect cables while power to the detector system is on. Damage to the detector
electronics will occur if the cables are connected and/ or disconnected while the detector's power is on.
Allow for sufficient airflow to keep the detector in the operating temperature range.
Service by Qualified Personnel Only
This equipment is to be installed by a qualified technician only. The system can only be used in
conjunction with a properly installed X-ray source with the appropriate shielding and a properly
configured computer workstation that meets the minimum system requirements discussed later in this
manual.
Detector Maintenance
Before performing any of the following operations, make sure that the power to the detector is switched
OFF.
Scheduled Maintenance
Detector is built for long-life, maintenance free operation. Periodically inspect the detector environment
to include the following:
Inspect the cables for cuts or kinks, and verify that the cables are properly secured to the detector.
Inspect chassis ground connection and verify it is tightly secured to the chassis.

2. The Argus Detector
Detector Highlights
Teledyne DALSA has a long history in providing X-ray detectors to the medical market, both for
standard and application specific markets. Our certified manufacturing, technology core and history in
providing solutions to the medical market helps us to provide you with a robust solution that gives you a
competitive edge in the market. Our complete and integrated solution, from sensor design and
fabrication, detector design and manufacturing, image acquisition and software expertise makes
Teledyne DALSA a one stop solution for your detection technology needs and provides you with a
reliable source for your imaging needs.
Features
Outstanding image quality.
Low sensor readout noise provides images with high clarity.
High dynamic range and a large sensor full-well results in high contrast images.
16-bit ADC for high precision image capture.
Flexible and robust modular form factor facilitates ease of integration into existing X-Ray dental
systems.
Assembled with advanced MEMS fabrication techniques for high resolution.
Field of view 15 cm, 22 cm and 44 cm (future).
Anti-blooming, preserves image integrity on the edges and in bright spots of the image.
Ethernet interface for ease of integration.
Custom scintillator available.
TDI X-Ray Technology
The Argus platform incorporates Teledyne DALSA’s patented TDI technology for high detective
quantum efficiency (DQE) and image quality. Time Delay & Integration (TDI) is based on line scan
technology and provides dramatically increased responsivity compared to other scanning methods. It
permits greater scanning speeds in low exposure levels, or allows reduced exposure levels (and costs) at
conventional speeds.
High Spatial Resolution
Argus scanning detectors provide a large field of view and include high resolution scintillator technology
and standard Ethernet connectivity, allowing images to be ported directly to a computer for image
processing.
Reliable operation and image quality are pivotal to the success of your business. As such we have utilized
all the latest available technologies, to create a product that provides highest image quality as well as
detector reliability.

Robust Quality –Radiation Hardened
Argus utilizes the latest Teledyne DALSA imaging and sensor fabrication technologies. Our radiation
hardened sensor fabrication process ensures longevity of our product and an image quality that is
immune to X-ray radiation degradation over time. This means you will be able to acquire the same high
quality images over and over, and get consistent results over the lifetime of your modality.
In addition, Argus utilizes the latest advancements in MEMs technology in order to minimize the gap
between the adjacent sensors (less than 75µm). This also benefits our detectors in terms of planarity, so
that the same high image quality is maintained throughout the whole field of view of the detector. Using
MEMS technology, seamless detectors with very high resolution and large field of view become possible.
Applications
Panoramic dental and cephalometric applications
Veterinary scanning
Scientific imaging
Trauma X-ray (full body X-ray scan)
Pharmaceutical inspection
Mammography

Certifications
Table 4: EMI / EMC Compliance Standards
Compliance
The CE mark evaluation of the DM-20-0xK10 X-Ray sensitive detector modules, manufactured by Teledyne DALSA
Inc., met the following requirements:
EN 55022, EN 55011, ICES-003, CISPR 22, CISPR 11, and FFC Part 15 (Class A) Radiated Emissions Requirements,
and EN 55022 and CISPR 22 (Class B) Communications Line Conducted Emissions Requirements, and EN 61000-6-1
Immunity to Disturbances.
Notes on the EMI / EMC Compliance:
ARGUS is an open frame detector module which is intended to be integrated into a system. As such, it
passed the Class A requirements (with Ferrite Beads installed in the power and data cables*). We
anticipate that with proper shielding the enclosed detector will pass the Class B requirements.
*A Steward 28A2026 Ferrite Bead was installed on the Ethernet cable and Steward 28A3851 bead had 2
turns of the DC cable placed in it.
