E-14 Planmeca Proline CC panoramic x-ray
In case the radiation beam is not correctly aligned first check the sensor head position by
using a spirit level. The sensor head (i.e. the sensor alignment tool) must be perpendicu-
lar to the rotating unit (see Fig. 20 on page E-15), otherwise the angle of the quick connec-
tor mechanism must be adjusted according to the instructions given in section "Adjusting
the sensor head position" below.
After adjusting the sensor head position adjust the primary slot according to the instruc-
tions given in sections "Primary slot adjustment - radiation beam too low, high or not ver-
tical" on page E-16 and "Primary slot adjustment - radiation beam too far to the right or
left" on page E-17, if needed.
In case the sensor head is attached to the rotating unit, remove the sensor head from the quick
connector mechanism (see instructions given in Planmeca Proline CC panoramic x-rays user's
manual), or remove the fixed sensor head from its adapter (refer to section "Removing and
attaching the fixed sensor head" on page E-4).
Remove the adapter covers. Refer to section "Removing and attaching the fixed sensor head" on
page E-4 or to section "Sensor head with quick connector mechanism - removing the covers" on
page E-9.
Attach the sensor alignment tool to the adapter.
Loosen the two screws located on the outer side of the mechanism with the 3 mm allen key (see
Fig. 19 below).
