3.2 Operation of AeroDR Detector
IMPORTANT •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
• If the conditions are not met, X-rays may not be de-
tected or streaks may occur in the image.
• Because the minimum exposure time for AeroDR
1417HQ, AeroDR 1717HQ, and AeroDR 1012HQ var-
ies depending on the X-ray device to be used, follow
the survey results at the time of installation.
• The minimum exposure time applies to the time when
X-ray is exposed onto the center of the AeroDR De-
tector. If X-ray cannot be exposed onto the center,
contact Konica Minolta technical representatives.

• When using ImagePilot as the image processing con-
troller, it is not possible to change the maximum expo-
sure time.

 Identify the AeroDR Detector that users can
use in Aero Sync mode
• Confirm that if the following identification is in the
AeroDR Detector that users can use in Aero Sync
mode.

• The AeroDR 1012HQ, AeroDR 2 1417HQ and AeroDR
2 1417S can use the Aero Sync mode.
• Users can not use Aero Sync Mode in the AeroDR De-
tector if it is AeroDR 1417S.
• Users cannot use Aero Sync mode in the AeroDR
Detector if the first four digits of its SerialNumber are
shown in the following table in the AeroDR 1417HQ or
AeroDR 1717HQ.

 Exposure with the Aero Sync mode
• To confirm X-ray detection, make sure the follow-
ing conditions are met.
– For the AeroDR 1417HQ, AeroDR 1717HQ
and AeroDR 1012HQ:
Perform exposure by following the survey
results of the installation. For details, contact
Konica Minolta technical representatives.
– For the AeroDR 2 1417HQ and AeroDR 2
1417S:
Perform X-ray exposure at a range of 10 cm
square or more at the center of the AeroDR
Detector. For the exposure conditions, set the
S value to 2000 or less and the exposure time
to 0.8 seconds or less.
• To use a grid in Aero Sync mode, align the orien-
tation of the triangular mark of the AeroDR De-
tector with the grid bar as shown in the following
figure.
Grid bar
• If the AeroDR Detector is used in an orientation
where the grid bars are turned 90 degrees with
respect to the triangle mark on the AeroDR De-
tector, observe the following conditions:
– 40 lp/cm: Angular error must be 1.0° or less.
– 34 lp/cm: Angular error must be 1.7° or less.
• Do not use additional filters for exposure dose re-
duction.
• If there are any radioactive substances remaining
in the patient's body after nuclear medicine test-
ing or some other reason, the AeroDR 2 1417HQ
and the AeroDR 2 1417S may recognize that X-
rays were emitted and start image transfer. When
the image is transferred, change the X-ray sensi-
tive setting of the image processing controller to
"High" before performing exposure.
If you change the X-ray sensitivity to "High", make
sure that all of the following conditions are met
before performing exposure. If you perform expo-
sure under other conditions, you may not be able
to get an image.
– On the AeroDR Detector, set up an area (2 cm
x 2 cm or larger) on which the X-rays are emit-
ted directly.
