Page 5: Introduction
Introduction Purpose Panoramic Corporation provides this printed manual as a guide for the operation of the PC-1000 dental panoramic X-ray machine and the PC-1000/Laser 1000 dental panoramic/cephalometric dental X-ray machine. The PC-1000 will enable the user to take panoramic X-ray images. The PC-1000/Laser 1000 will enable the user to take panoramic X-ray images, as well as cephalometric X-ray images.
Page 6: Limited Warranty
Introduction Voltage Regulator Warning Do not plug this machine into ANY voltage regulating device. Contact Panoramic Corporation with any questions regarding this. X-ray Shielding Requirements The requirements for panoramic and cephalometric shielding for building, operator, and patient, depend on state and local regulations. Contact your state Department of Health for compliance information.
Page 7: Pre-Installation Check
Control Panel Orientation The control panel on the PC-1000 and the PC-1000/Laser 1000 is mounted directly on the side of the machine and requires no separate installation, wiring, or mounting. Although the control panel is mounted on the patient's left side from the factory, it can be easily relocated to the opposite side during installation.

Page 46: Darkroom Light Leak Test
To ﬁ nd the light leak, turn all of the lights off in the darkroom and inspect the darkroom for cracks around the door and ceiling tiles. Indicator lights on equipment, such as stereos, and improper safelights can also cause fogging. Turn off all unnecessary equipment and the safelight and try this test again.
