On modalities that support automatic collimation, the collimation settings are
applied automatically and must be checked by the user.
Ralco collimators may limit the X-ray field. To overrule the limitation, the
collimator must be unlocked using a key and the collimation must be applied
manually.
Exposure Sequence
Procedure:
1. Set the mAs value to the indicative value for the exposure level.
2. Make exposures as instructed by the DR Calibration Tool.
To avoid overheating of the X-ray tube, limit the rate of exposures to two
per minute.
Calibrating DR 10s and DR 14s on DX-D 100
On a DX-D 100 mobile X-ray unit that is upgraded to support DR 10s or DR
14s, an extra step is needed to activate the DR Detector during calibration.
In the modality position drop-down list on the software console, push the
icon for free exposure with ETHERNET written on top.

Note: If the exposure settings used for a previous calibration are
known, use these settings.
