Troubleshooting 8.3. Service programs descriptions Rotograph EVO allows the authorised technicians to access to the different functional parameters of the unit through a dedicated software composed by the following service programs. Each service program can be accessed through a dedicated password.
NOTE: SYSTEM and BURN-IN operations are used only during factory set-up; there are special passwords not accessible to Service Engineers. For this reason, they are not explained on the manual. (Rev. 1) 8-27 Rotograph EVO...
This operation is signalled by a specific message on the display. Left/Right scroll: are used to scroll into different parameters or menus. Parameter increment and decrement: are used to change the value of the selected parameter. Rotograph EVO 8-28 (Rev. 1)
In this menu, it is possible to select the language of displayed message of the user’s panel (language of service menus is always English) in one of the following: ENGLISH ⇔ ITALIANO ⇔ FRANCAIS ⇔ DEUTCH ⇔ ESPANOL ⇔ ENGLISH…. Rotograph EVO 8-30 (Rev. 1)
These selection allow the set of brightness and contrast of the display in order to set those as a convenient level for the operators. The display brightness will decrease with higher value; the factory set value is set to the maximum level. Rotograph EVO 8-32 (Rev. 1)
The factory set value is 127; increasing it will increase the brightness and viceversa. 8.3.3.6. Key click sound / Key click volume The "clicking" sound of the pressed key can be set ON/OFF; once set to ON, also its volume can be adjusted at the appropriate volume. (Rev. 1) 8-33 Rotograph EVO...
Values are displayed and changed using a couple of digits, with a variation of one unit for each pressure of the parameter increase/decrease key; the auto repeat function for fast changes is enabled. Rotograph EVO 8-34 (Rev. 1)
Once the operation is finished (or interrupted), it is possible to access the following list of submenus: ROTATION ZERO ⇔ Y AXIS ZERO ⇔ CASSETTE ZERO ⇔ PR. COLL. SETUP ⇔ ROTATION ZERO .. The selection is confirmed pressing the Patient centering (>0<) key. (Rev. 1) 8-35 Rotograph EVO...

This function allows the set of the offset of Y axis, the motion along the mid sagittal plane of the patient, but its function is to center the X-ray beam on the ceph sensor. WARNING: Do NOT modify this parameter: functionality can be severely impaired. Rotograph EVO 8-44 (Rev. 1)
"xxxxx" is the current value of the offset, that can be changed with the left/right keys. 8.3.5.4. Primary collimator setup This function allows the set of the offsets of different slots of the primary collimator; refer to paragraph 8.3.4.4. (Rev. 1) 8-45 Rotograph EVO...
STANDARD: collimator based on 18x24 cm format • 24x30: collimator based on 24x30 cm format • INCH: collimator in inches, based on 8"x10" format. It is possible to change the set value using the parameter increase/decrease keys. Rotograph EVO 8-46 (Rev. 1)
Using the parameter increase/decrease keys, it is possible to choose the required formats, according to the selection: Standard 24x30 Inches 18x24 LL 24x30 LL 8"x10" LL 18x24 PA 24x30 PA 8"x10" PA 24x18 LL 30x24 LL 10"x8" LL (Rev. 1) 8-47 Rotograph EVO...

(*) Functionality only on Analog version (**) Functionality only on Digital version NOTE: The logic status of these signals depends on the physical position of the relevant optical sensor / microswitch with respect to the "0" position. (Rev. 1) 8-51 Rotograph EVO...
To move to mA and exposure time, press key once or twice again. In this situation, the keys increase and decrease will change the parameter. Pressing the X-ray button will start the emission. Rotograph EVO 8-52 (Rev. 1)
This function allows the set of the Tubehead pre-heating time. After the selection, the display will show the following message: R E - H E A T I V A L U E It is possible to change the set value using the increase/decrease keys (Rev. 1) 8-53 Rotograph EVO...

Film with missing highlight of the Soft Tissues In the case of cephalometry, in a latero-lateral, with missing highlight of the soft tissues , check the set FPM values following the procedure given in password 124. Rotograph EVO 8-60 (Rev. 1)
Normally, the panoramic equipment has a narrower focussed layer in the front area, and therefore a proper positioning of the anterior teeth is of the utmost importance. Figure 8-2 Rotograph EVO 8-62 (Rev. 1)

The occlusal plane is shown slightly tilted upward, the palatal plane does not overlap the apex of the upper arch and therefore allows a good view of the same. (Rev. 1) 8-63 Rotograph EVO...
If, after the correct patient’s positioning, the problem still remain, check the alignment of rotating arm. A more accurate check can be performed using the service tool and verifying the distance between the two lateral metal parts. Rotograph EVO 8-64 (Rev. 1)

If, after the correct patient’s positioning, the problem still remain, check the alignment of rotating arm. A more accurate check can be performed using the service tool and verifying the distance between the two lateral metal parts. (Rev. 1) 8-65 Rotograph EVO...

Check the positioning of the median-sagittal plane by using the relevant centring light beam. A more accurate check is performed using the special tool and making a film; the dimensions measured on the obtained film must match those reported in the paragraph 7.2.1. Rotograph EVO 8-66 (Rev. 1)
Page 158
If not, a possible cause can be due to a non perfect horizontality of the chin arm, that must be adjusted using the relevant screws. (Rev. 1) 8-67 Rotograph EVO...
Page 159
A chin support plane too high during the patient positioning or when extending the spine may generate this mistake. In this condition, the rear side of the patient’s head may also interfere with rotating arm of the panoramic equipment. Rotograph EVO 8-68 (Rev. 1)
Page 160
Figure 8-9 Possible cause: Patient’s head tilted downward, as on the aside schema. Remedy: Check the positioning of the patient by aligning it with the help of the corresponding light beam. (Rev. 1) 8-69 Rotograph EVO...
Page 161
In this case, a light tilting downward of the Frankfurt plane causes the palate to be projected over and far enough from the roots of the teeth of the maxilla arch, without distortion of the incisor teeth, as on Figure 8-11. Figure 8-11 Rotograph EVO 8-70 (Rev. 1)
(the other side of the mandible). That therefore results as a clearer area overlapped to the real image. Very often the resulting darker area in the bottom corner is noticed and is considered as an artefact of the radiological image. (Rev. 1) 8-71 Rotograph EVO...
Page 163
This situation may occur especially if the patient has large prothesis or metal cures and if it is associated to a positioning error, that projects the shadow of the metal part on wide area of the image. Rotograph EVO 8-72 (Rev. 1)
Page 164
The cassette has been fit into the machine on the wrong side. As general rule, the film is underexposed due to the presence of the secondary lead shielding. Remedy: Repeat the examination by properly fitting the cassette into the machine. (Rev. 1) 8-73 Rotograph EVO...
Page 165
They might be caused by electrostatic charges produced by the intensifying screens or the scratching of the intensifying screens against the film. Remedy: Check the humidity of the dark room and place the film into the cassette without scratching it against the intensifying screen. Rotograph EVO 8-74 (Rev. 1)
Repeat the above check covering the other part of the slit. NOTE: If the X-ray beam must be shifted right, the tubehead must be moved to the left and vice-versa. (Rev. 1) 8-75 Rotograph EVO...
Page 167
Also the film package has been unintentionally exposed to X-ray. Remedy: Avoid the above conditions. Rotograph EVO 8-76 (Rev. 1)
