  • Page 28 Operation and Use Insert the pediatric filter into this slot until it stops. The collimator is manually positioned by means of handle “tusks”, which also house the collimator LBD on/off switch, and is rotatable through +/- 110 degrees. Collimator blades are provided to adjust the exposure field in the horizontal (x) and vertical (y) axes, controlled by manual dials on the collimator tusks.

  • Page 29: Exposure Factors And The X-Ray Tube

    Operation and Use Exposure Factors and the X-ray Tube Feather-light touch positioning of the X-ray tube head is possible due to the use of Carbon Nano Tube X-ray technology that allows the X-ray tube to weigh just 1.1 kg, in comparison to conventional tubes of similar performance weighing over 20 kg.
  • Page 30 Operation and Use Exposure is controlled via a wired exposure switch, which allows the operator to stand in excess of 2.0 m (6.56 ft.) from the unit while an exposure is taking place, or using an optional wireless exposure switch that has an operating range of up to 10.0 m (38.2 ft.).

  • Page 31: Time Cycle Between Exposures

    Operation and Use Time Cycle between Exposures The cool-down time between the first and second exposures, and second and third exposures, is 30 seconds. The cool-down time between the third and fourth exposures is 120 seconds. The below image depicts this concept. seconds seconds seconds...

  • Page 32: Component Descriptions

    Operation and Use Component Descriptions The arm assembly is a two component arm that holds the tube head assembly, collimator handles, and the X-ray tube. The arm assembly allows dynamic positioning 240 degrees in each direction. To deploy the arm, release the arm lock by pressing the docking release switch on the tube head handle.
  • Page 33 The proximity card reader scans an RFID badge to identify the operator for logon security. Carestream offers optional proximity badges if needed, or some facilities may use their own models. RFIDs will need to be configured to the unit for use.
