radiation safety regulations regarding to operator safety
and the shielding of X-ray equipment.
Remove the cover from the exposure switch holder, note
that there is a ground lead connected to the cover, and
use the body as a template to mark and drill the two
securing holes. Secure the holder in position and replace
the cover.

switch cable to the socket on the underside of the expo-
sure switch holder.
Connect the male plug at the other end of the exposure
switch cable to one of the sockets at the bottom of the X-
