Automatic exposure detection

The DR detector detects X-ray exposure to automatically perform the image
acquisition.
Before performing the exposure, the DR detector must be ready. Check the
status of the DR detector in the DR Detector Switch.

WARNING:
The sensor for automatic exposure detection must be in the
exposed area. Positioning the sensor for automatic exposure
detection outside the exposed area can cause failure to trigger
the image acquisition.
WARNING:
Do not hit or drop the equipment. If it receives a strong jolt,
image acquisition can be triggered without X-ray exposure.
WARNING:
Very short exposure time can cause failure to trigger the image
acquisition. Use an exposure time of at least 3 ms.
WARNING:
Specific exposure conditions (use of grid, thickness of the
exposed object) can cause failure to trigger the image
acquisition or horizontal artifacts in the acquired image.
CAUTION:
Excessive ambient temperature may impact performance of DR
Detectors and cause permanent damage to the equipment. If
ambient temperature and humidity is outside the range of 10 -
35 °C and 30 - 85% RH, do not operate the system or use air
conditioning. Warranty will be void if it is obvious that
operating conditions are not met.
