Checking The Panoramic Beam Position - Planmeca ProMax X-ray Instruction Manual

Chapter E - C-ARM AND IMAGING ARM

1.2 Checking the panoramic beam position

Before the X-ray is used the position of the radiation beam must be checked.
Select kilovolt and milliampere values high enough to enable the radiation beam to be seen in
the darkened room, e.g. 70 kV and 16 mA. The actual values will depend on how dark the
room is.
To be able to check the radiation beam without the rotating unit moving enter the Pan mode
X-collimator calibration mode as follows.
To enter the calibration mode first touch the i-field on the Main display.

Select Technical calibrations (i600) from the list on the display. The password to the Techni-
cal calibrations mode is asked when the Technical calibrations mode is entered for the first
time after switching the unit on. The password is 1701.
