Need help?
Do you have a question about the VET-X APR-VET and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
Can you take a radiograph from the control panel when the foot pedal stops working on an APR-VET machine?
Yes, you can take a radiograph from the control panel on a Sedecal VET-X APR-VET machine if the foot pedal stops working. The machine has both a footswitch and a handswitch for exposure control. The handswitch has the same three positions as the footswitch: "OFF," "Preparation" (halfway), and "X-ray Exposure" (fully depressed). If the foot pedal is not functioning, you can use the handswitch to prepare the X-ray tube and take the exposure.
