The exposure switch can be mounted on the wall, or it can
be hung from the hook provided on the stationary column
top if a protected area is within reach.
On the exposure button and on the control panel a green
indicator light will come on when the unit is correctly set
up and ready to take an exposure. Additionally, the word
READY will be shown on the control panel display.
An amber indicator light will come on on the exposure
switch and on the control panel when you take an
exposure. It indicates that the unit is generating radiation.
Additionally, 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 finger from the exposure
button before the exposure cycle is completed radiation is
interrupted, the C-arm will stop moving and an error
message will appear on the control panel display. The
error message must be cleared from the display before
the unit can be used again. To clear the message, touch
the OK field.
NOTE Refer to section 18.5 "Connecting the exposure
switch cable" on page 108 for information on how
to connect the exposure switch to the unit.
