NOTE 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 perpen-
dicular to the rotating unit (see Fig. 30 on page E-17), otherwise the angle of the quick
connector 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
instructions given in sections "Primary slot adjustment - radiation beam too low or too
high" on page E-17 and "Primary slot adjustment - radiation beam too far to the right
or left" on page E-18, if needed. In case the X-ray unit is equipped with cephalostat fol-
low the instructions given in section 2.5 "Radiation beam adjustment, Planmeca Pro-
line XC Pan/Ceph X-ray unit" on page E-19.

quick connector mechanism (see instructions given in Planmeca Proline XC panoramic X-ray
units user's manual), or remove the fixed sensor head from its adapter (refer to section 2.1
"Removing and attaching the fixed sensor head" on page E-4).
Remove the adapter covers. Refer to section 2.1 "Removing and attaching the fixed sensor
head" on page E-4 or to section 2.2 "Sensor head with quick connector mechanism - remov-
ing the covers" on page E-9.
Attach the sensor alignment tool to the adapter.
