 High-dose exposure
• When high-dose exposures are performed con-
tinuously, afterimages of the last exposure will
occasionally be visible. The affect of afterimages
in this device can be resolved by leaving longer
intervals between exposures, so make the inter-
vals between exposures longer than usual when
performing high-dose exposure.
• During high-dose exposure, continual use of a
lead or other marker at the same position can
cause burning in of the afterimage. Therefore,
avoid using it in the same position. Also, if image
burn-in is visible, run calibration.
 Exposure time for basic connection/S-SRM
connection
• The maximum exposure time is as follows.
DR Detector maximum exposure time
AeroDR 1417HQ,
AeroDR 1417S,
AeroDR 1717HQ, 0.7, 1.7, 3.2, 4.0, 6.7, 10.3
AeroDR 1012HQ, seconds
AeroDR 2 1417HQ,
AeroDR 2 1417S
AeroDR 3 1417HD,
AeroDR 3 1717HD, 0.7, 1.7, 4.0, 10.3 seconds
AeroDR 3 1012HQ
• The exposure time for actual exposures should
not exceed the maximum exposure time you have
set. Otherwise, exposure may fail or correct im-
ages may not be able to be obtained.
IMPORTANT •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
• You cannot select 4.0, 6.7 and 10.3 as the maximum
exposure time for the following DR Detectors.

• If you increase the maximum exposure time in AeroDR
1417HQ, AeroDR 1417S, AeroDR 1717HQ, AeroDR
1012HQ, AeroDR 2 1417HQ and AeroDR 2 1417S,
the DR Detector may take longer to exit sleep mode.
• When the maximum exposure time of the AeroDR 3
1417HD, AeroDR 3 1717HD and AeroDR 3 1012HQ
are set at 10.3, the interval between exposures should
be 2 minutes or longer. The following exposures also
require 2-minute intervals.

• Use the image processing controller to set the maxi-
mum exposure time. In some cases, the maximum
exposure time is fixed according to the X-ray device.
For details, contact Konica Minolta technical represen-
tatives.
• When using ImagePilot as the image processing con-
troller, it is not possible to change the maximum expo-
sure time.

• If the conditions are not met, X-rays may not be de-
tected or streaks may occur in the image.
• Because the minimum exposure time for AeroDR
1417HQ, AeroDR 1717HQ, and AeroDR 1012HQ var-
ies depending on the X-ray device to be used, follow
the survey results at the time of installation.
• The minimum exposure time applies to the time when
X-ray is exposed onto the center of the DR Detector.
If X-ray cannot be exposed onto the center, contact
Konica Minolta technical representatives.
