other size was specified during the order process.
You can switch between positions by simply rotating the carousel
wheel. The generator will automatically detect which carousel position
is selected and communicate this information to the PowerBox.
No exposure will be possible if the carousel is set between two
positions, or if it is set in the pointer position.
No exposure is possible above 50kV if the Beryllium window is set.
A warning will be displayed on the PowerBox if the shutter is not set
during the preheating, or if it is set during a normal exposure.
The laser pointer can be switched on and off by pressing the red power button for more than one second.
It will switch off automatically after 20 seconds. The laser pointer is powered by a 3 Volt coin battery which
can be replaced at the back of the laser pointer module. Please refer to the Maintenance chapter on further
information on how to change the coin battery.
