1
Exposure release buttons with green lights. Both buttons must be pressed during the entire exposure. This is
to ensure that the operator is standing behind the radiation shield during the exposure.
2
+/- kV selection and display
3
MAMMOMAT Novation
4
+/- mAs selection and display. In AEC mode (Automatic Exposure Control), the display remains dark before
exposure. After the exposure, the mAs value reached during radiography is indicated.
If the dose calculation option is enabled, the dose value is shown on the same display as the mAs value.
5
"dr" (digital radiography) is displayed on the film density display to indicate that the MAMMOMAT Novation
is ready to be used. If the display is dark the communication with the DR-system is not working. The buttons
are not used.
6
AEC. These buttons are used to activate AEC mode (Automatic Exposure Control). H stands for low dose
exposure and D for high dose exposure.
7
Buttons for selection of anode/filter combination in manual mode.
8
Buttons for selection of one of four pre-programmed exposure parameter settings.
9
Decompression button.
10
Button for storing exposure parameter (see pos 8).
11
Button to select/deselect auto mode.
12
Button to select/deselect automatic decompression after exposure. When off, use foot switch or the knobs for
manual decompression or use the decompression button (see pos 9).
13
Limit button (acknowledgement). Serves to reset the system after errors, indicated by an error code, or faulty
exposures (limit errors), indicated also by the limit lamp and acoustic signal (e.g limit mAs, dose monitoring,
interrupted exposure).
14
Limit lamp. Flashing: Tube temperature is above normal. Lit: Limit error (see pos 13).
15
Not used for digital mammography.
16
Indicates an unknown table configuration. e.g. magnification table not fully inserted.
17
Risk of collision between tube head and floor (limit switch is activated).
18
Not used for digital mammography.
19
Collimator not in correct position or wrong combination of object table and compression plate.
20
Focal spot indication. Indicates focus in operation. Small focus is automatically selected, when a magnifica-
tion table is used.
21
Green light indicates that the unit is ready for exposure. This indicator has the same function as the green
lights on the stand display and the exposure release buttons.
22
Yellow light and an acoustic signal indicate radiation ON.
