A complete list of specifications can be found in the CDRPan User’s Guide. Mechanical Considerations The sensor package, the remote module, and the cables of the CDRPan system are mounted outside of the patient area to ensure patient safety and reliable equipment operation.
1.3. Overview for Installing CDRPan This Installation Manual is one of two documents you will need to install the CDRPan system completely. After performing the installation procedures in this document, you should refer to the CDRPan User’s Guide (P/N B1051008) to install the software for the CDRPan system.
1.4. Before You Start Installing CDRPan Prior to installing CDRPan on your panoramic system, please perform the following checks. A. Make sure your panoramic system is operating properly. B. Familiarize yourself with the installation steps before performing them. C. Determine the location of your computer. This will be useful when you install the Remote Module and need to run cables between it and your computer.
2. What You Will Need For Installation 2.1. CDRPan System To perform the installation procedures in this manual, you will need the following CDRPan parts and assemblies. A. Sensor Assembly B. Curved Cassette Codestrip Assembly (A), Mounting Clip (B), and Interlock...

2.2. Tools To install the sensor and codestrip, you will need the following tools. A. Phillips screwdriver to remove and replace rotation arm cover plate, and to install sensor clip, codestrip assembly, and interlock defeater. B. Allen wrench (hex key, 3/32 in.) to adjust clearance between encoder and codestrip. C.
3. Sensor and Codestrip 3.1. Remove Rotation Arm Cover Plate Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove screw from bottom of plate and remove plate from rotation arm. Rotograph Installation B1051105 Rev. –...
3.2. Install Sensor Assembly Carefully slide sensor assembly into faceplate until upper guide is seated firmly at top of aperture slit and lower guide fits in bottom of aperture. UPPER GUIDE LOWER GUIDE B1051105 Rev. – Rotograph Installation...
3.3. Install Sensor Clip Install the sensor clip at the bottom of the aperture and secure it in place using the Allen key (.050 in) to tighten 2 screws. CAUTION: Light tension on the set screws is all that is needed to secure the sensor clip. Do not apply excessive torque.
3.4. Route Sensor Cable Use cable clamps and holders to route sensor cable to the top of the panoramic machine. Allow enough slack in the cable for the rotation arm of the panoramic machine to move freely. Sensor cable secured along faceplate Sensor cable secured across faceplate B1051105 Rev.
3.5. Check Sensor Cable Run Swivel the arm of the panoramic machine to ensure there is enough slack in the cable for the rotation arm to move freely. Adjust cable if necessary. Sensor cable secured along rotation arm Rotograph Installation B1051105 Rev.
3.6. Install Codestrip Assembly A. Install the codestrip assembly on the drum cassette holder by tightening screws with a Phillips screwdriver. B. Align the codestrip assembly with the encoder window. CODESTRIP CASSETTE HOLDER CODESTRIP ENCODER WINDOW B1051105 Rev. – Rotograph Installation...
3.7. Install Interlock Defeater A. Slide the interlock defeater onto the drum cassette holder. Make sure that it fits over and depresses the interlock limit switch on the panoramic machine. Rotograph Installation B1051105 Rev. –...

B. When the interlock defeater is firmly in place, secure it to the cassette holder using a Phillips screwdriver to tighten 4 screws. B1051105 Rev. – Rotograph Installation...
3.8. Secure Sensor Assembly Adjust the encoder section of the sensor assembly to approximately 1 mm from the codestrip on the drum cassette. Use the Allen key (3/32 in.) to tighten the hinge links on the encoder. Rotograph Installation B1051105 Rev. –...
3.9. Check Codestrip Alignment A. Check the encoder-to-codestrip alignment. The proper distance between these two parts should be approximately 1 mm when the arm of the panoramic machine is rotated. Verify this distance at the start and at the end of motion. Start of Panoramic Motion End of Panoramic Motion B1051105 Rev.
Page 21
B. If necessary, shim the codestrip assembly for proper alignment. As in the previous step, recheck the distance between the encoder and the codestrip. At the start and end of motion, the distance should be approximately 1 mm. SHIM Rotograph Installation B1051105 Rev.
