The exposure switch can be mounted on the wall, or it can
be hung from the hook located on the back of the moving
column if a protected area is within reach.
When the X-ray unit is ready to take an exposure a green
indicator light will come on on the exposure button.
Additionally, the status bar at the bottom of the control
panel display will turn green.
When you take an exposure an amber indicator light will
come on on the exposure switch. It indicates that the X-
ray unit is generating radiation. Additionally, a radiation
warning symbol will be shown on the control panel display
and you will hear a radiation warning signal.
When you take an exposure you must press and hold
down the exposure button for the whole duration of the
exposure. If you remove your thumb from the exposure
button before the exposure cycle is completed radiation is
interrupted, the C-arm will stop moving and a help
message will appear on the control panel. The help
message must be cleared before the X-ray unit can be
used again.
