SECTION 1 : TECHNICAL DATA [ 1 ] ELECTRICAL AND RADIATION DATA 1. X-ray tube -------------------------------------------------- Toshiba D-0711 (Stationary Anode) a. Focal spot ------------------------------------------------ 0.7 mm b. Target Material------------------------------------------ Tungsten c. Target angle --------------------------------------------- 16˚ d. Maximum anode heat content ------------------------ 7kJ (10kHU) 2.
[ 3 ] TUBE HEAD THERMAL CHARACTERISTICS A. Interval between each exposure The temperature inside of the tube head rises when an exposure is made. The value of the heat generated is measured in Heat Units (HU), which is the product of tube potential, tube current and exposure time.
SECTION 2 : PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS [ 1 ] SUPPORT REQUIREMENTS Main Controller : The main controller of model 303 has a wall plate PHOT-X II designed for mounting on two 2 x 4 wood studs with 16 inches (406mm) centers. The wall and mounting hardware must be sufficient to withstand a 100 pound (45kg) shear load and a 450 pound (205kg)with drawal force at each of the four (ø...
[ 3 ] LOCATION OF COMPONENTS A. Main Controller, Arm and Head Assemblies : Using the information Provided in Fig.2-4, determine the correct location for the main controller. CAUTION PHOTX-II Model 303 x-ray unit should be installed on the wall that prevents the horizontal arm rotate 360˚.
These steps require the installer to record the necessary information onto the "ASSEMBLER'S INSTALLATION SECTION OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY REPORT FORM" supplied, which MUST be returned to BELMONT along with the warranty card.
[ 3 ] MAIN CONTROLLER AND ARM INSTALLATION The instructions given below are for mounting the main controller assembly on two 2 x 4 wood studs with 16 inch (406mm) centers. Should the PHOT-XII MODEL 303 be mounted in a manner other than what is specified here, the wall and the strength of the hardware used must be checked and verified as being adequate to withstand a 100 pound (45kg) shear load and a 450 pound (205kg) withdrawal force at each of the four (ø9 x 75mm) lag screws.

F. BALANCE ARM ASSEMBLY WARNING Do not release Arm holding band until the X-ray head Horizontal Arm has been installed. Balance arm assembly is spring loaded and can cause Bottom Cover equipment damage and injury if not handled in the (M3 x 8) proper manner.
7. Insert the brake plug and brake screw (M6 x 6mm) Balance Arm into the horizontal arm collar. (Fig.3-13) Brake Plug Horizontal Do not fully tighten. Arm Collar Brake Screw 8. Remove the end cap from horizontal arm. Arm End Cap Insert the stopper screw into upper threaded hole inside horizontal arm and tighten securely.

4. Insert the shaft of the balance arm into the Arm Holding head yoke, and while holding the head in Band position, insert the head key securely into the retaining groove. (Fig.3-16) CAUTION ! CAUTION ! DO NOT RELEASE DO NOT RELEASE THIS BAND UNTIL X-RAY HEAD IS THIS BAND UNTIL...
[ 5 ] SUB CONTROLLER INSTALLATION The wall and the strength of the hardware used must be checked and verified as being adequate to withstand a 10 pound (4.5kg) shear load. A flush mounted junction box with the necessary conduit and wiring should be pre-installed at 51-5/8"...
[ 6 ] HAND EXPOSURE SWITCH (OPTION) An optional hand exposure switch can be connected to Hook the sub controller. Since this exposure switch has a coiled cord, operator can stand the most suitable position for operation. The exposure switch on the front panel of sub controller and this hand exposure switch can be used.
SECTION 4 : POST INSTALLATION INSPECTION [ 1 ] ARM ASSEMBLY 1. Incorrect leveling of the wall plate and wall bracket can cause arm drift. First, check leveling with horizontal arm in position #1. (Fig.3-25) If not correct, bracket must be adjusted by placing shims behind the wall plate.
SECTION 5 : CONTROL IDENTIFICATION AND OPERATION [ 1 ] MAJOR COMPONENTS AND CONTROL IDENTIFICATION 60 70 & & Fig.5-1 Major Components and Control Identification q Main Power Switch !0 Cone Type Selection Switch w Ready Light !1 Film Speed Selection Switch e Exposure Time Adjusting Switch (Down) !2 Digital Imaging Switch r Exposure Time Adjusting Switch (Up)
[ 2 ] FUNCTION OF CONTROLS q Main Power Switch Pushing the upper side of this switch to the ON position energizes the x-ray unit. (Ready light and pre-select light for cone type, film or digital, kV, mA, and patient size illuminate.) It is recommended to keep this switch OFF when the unit is not in use, in order to prevent an accidental exposure.
[ 3 ] OPERATING PROCEDURES 1. Turn ON the Main Power Switch q. 2. Confirm that Ready Light w is illuminated. NOTE : The ready light will not illuminate unless the incoming line voltage is correct and within the x-ray’s operable range (108 ~ 132VAC.). 3.
[ 5 ] ERROR CODES If an abnormal condition exists in the unit, or a malfunction occurs, an error code is displayed in the Exposure Time Display Window !6 . Please refer to the Table below. Error Condition Possible Solution Step to be Taken Code All the tooth selection...
Error Condition Possible Solution Step to be Taken Code Tube Potential at last portion of exposure E.15 was more than 70 kV at 60 kV setting. Turn off the main power Refer to the service During the exposure, tube potential becomes switch and wait for manual.
SECTION 6 : POST INSTALLATION CONFIRMATION [ 1 ] CONFIRMATION OF POWER SUPPLY VOLTAGE As specified in Electrical Requirements (page 5), power supply voltage must be within the operable range of 108 ~ 132 VAC. Confirm the power supply voltage again before turning on the unit.
[ 4 ] CONFIRMATION OF EXPOSURE WARNING LIGHT & BUZZER A. EXPOSURE WARNING BUZZER 1. Make an exposure and confirm that the exposure warning buzzer located within the sub controller is activated during the entire exposure. B. EXPOSURE WARNING LIGHT Exposure warning light is located on the front panel of the sub controller, 1.
SECTION 7 : INITIAL SETTING [ 1 ] SPEED SETTING FOR FILM AND DIGITAL IMAGING A. FILM SPEED Prior to shipment of the x-ray from the factory, the following two film speeds are programmed to be selected by the Film Speed Selection Switch. a = Film speed F.09 (equivalent to ISO speed group "D", or Kodak Ultra-speed Film) b = Film speed F.05 (equivalent to ISO speed group "F/E", or Kodak InSight Film) In addition to these two speeds, PHOT-X II MODEL 303 x-ray can provide 16 different film...
[ 3 ] ELECTRONIC CHIME ON/OFF An electronic chime sounds when switches are depressed. If preferred, this sound can be deactivated as follows : 1. Keep T1 and T2 switches depressed together for more than 3 seconds. Release the switches if the ready light starts to flash. 2.
