The left–hand section of the Control Console Keyboard is used to initialize or select generator
parameters.
1. SENOGRAPHE 800 T 'ON': The green indicator lamp is illuminated. The Control
Console displays the last configuration used.
D
It is important not to touch the compression/decompression footpedals or the
compression manual adjustment knobs during the power–up sequence.
D
After the power–up sequence, the footpedals must be used (not the manual adjustment
knobs) to bring the compression paddle up.
2. SENOGRAPHE 800 T 'OFF': The indicator lamp is illuminated.
3. SET UP Menu: Press key to enter Maintenance and Installation, or to access SET UP
Menu which is used to modify the following parameters:
– Speed of compression
– Programming maximum compression force
– Automatic decompression.
– Height of automatic decompression.
– Minimum Acceptable Optical density for each screen/film combination.
– Language of messages
– Disabling of exposure interlock
Explanation and description of all these parameters is given in Chapter 3, Maintenance.
4. Readout: The readout consists of two lines of 40-characters each.
– The upper line displays warning messages and fault messages.
– The lower line displays selected parameters: focal spot, focal track (Mo), filter, FDC
(Film Density Control), and SFC (Screen Film Combination).
5. Focal Spot selection: Since the focal spot selection is ensured by the insertion of the
appropriate collimator diaphragm into the collimator slot, this key is not operational on
the Senographe 800T.
The readout indicates the size of the selected focal spot in the language programmed at
installation.
When magnification is selected, i.e. when the appropriate 0.1 small focal spot collimator
diaphragm is inserted into the collimator slot, the system automatically selects the small
focal spot. When a 0.3 collimator diaphragm is inserted, the large focal spot is selected..
6. Track selection: Molybdenum (Mo) only.
