Take the Remote Exposure Control device out of its cradle. Aim the Remote
Control at the sensor on the Mobile Unit from a maximum distance of 10 meters.
COLLIMATOR LAMP BUTTON: Press this push-button to turn on the
Collimator Lamp.
EXPOSURE CONTROL: Press this button once to prepare the X-ray Tube for
exposure ("Prep" position). When the "Prep" indicator lights on the Control
Console, press this push-button again and hold it down until the X-ray Unit
completes the exposure ("Exp" position).
The unit cannot perform exposures when the Arm is secured in the
parking position.
Depending on the configuration, the unit cannot perform
exposures when the Arm with the Tube-Collimator Assembly is
straight above the Control Panel (but not secured in the parking
position); in this configuration the Column must be taken out of
the 0 rotation position to be able to make exposures.
_
When the exposure is completed the green light indicator turns OFF. Return the
Control Remote device back to its cradle on the Mobile Unit.
The preparation cycle automatically aborts and returns to Stand-by Mode if an
exposure is not initiated within 15 seconds after the "Prep" command or if the
Collimator Lamp is turned ON during this cycle.
The exposure aborts if the "Exposure" button is released.
The Remote Exposure Control has a built-in remote finder which is very useful
for locating the remote control device should it become misplaced.
If the Remote Exposure Control is not returned back to its cradle within three
minutes after use, the device will repeat a series of beeps. This series of beeps
will continue indefinitely until the device is located and put back into its cradle.
The unit with Wireless DR Detectors can be provided with LED Beacon Light,
placed under the Control Console frame, indicating the following status:
GREEN ! READY / PREP Status.
It lights when the Detector is ready and the RAD technique is correctly set
(READY status) and keeps lighting up during the Preparation of the X-Ray Tube
(PREP status) before the exposure.
YELLOW ! EXP Status.
It lights during the X-Ray Exposure (EXP status).
