4.4.2 Mounting the sensor garage

Install the sensor garage in a place that is convenient and secure.
NOTICE! The sensor garage should also be positioned so that the cable from the
sensor does not create a tripping hazard.
1. Clean the mounting surface.

3. Press the sensor garage firmly against the mounting surface.

4.4.3 Adjusting the X-ray source

The sensor is generally compatible with any dental X-ray unit and intraoral X-ray device
that can supply the required range of exposure times and doses.
Refer to your X-ray device´s User manual for the recommended exposure times for
digital sensors.
NOTICE! X-ray devices, even the same brands and types purchased at the same
time, differ widely in their performance. In addition, on a newer X-ray device, the
"digital" setting on your dial or keypad may not be the ideal setting.
4.4.3.1 X-ray generator settings
The radiation of X-ray tubes is controlled by the settings of:
• Exposure time (ms) or pulses
• Voltage (kV or kVp)
• Current (mA).
Some controls allow the modification of all the settings listed above, but some have fixed
settings for current and voltage. Follow the instructions of the X-ray generator to set the
desired dose range.
4.4.3.2 Distance of X-ray source to sensor
There is a correlation between the distance of the cone to the sensor and the dose
received by the sensor. The radiation that reaches the sensor decreases with the
FS Ergo Sensor
NOTICE! The sensor cable is 3 m long. If a longer cable is required, use the
USB extension cable supplied with the sensor.
