Loading Of The Bucky In The Radiographic Wall Stand - AGFA DR 400 User Manual

Loading of the bucky in the Radiographic Wall Stand

To load the bucky with a cassette or detector:
1. Open the bucky drawer completely by pulling the front handle.
2. Rotate the drawer to portrait orientation.
3. Adjust the side clamps to the cassette or detector format by pushing the
lock button and moving the clamp.
4. Push the cassette or detector towards the lower slider to open the
clamping mechanism wide enough to contain the cassette or detector.
5. Let the cassette or detector slip into the clamping.
6. Rotate the cassette or detector if needed to get the correct position for next
exposure.
7. Align the cassette or detector. The alignment can be centered or out of
center.
8. Close the bucky drawer using the front handle and pushing the button to
release the brake.
Make sure the bucky drawer is pushed up to the end to close completely.
CAUTION:
Make sure your fingers are not between the clamping
mechanism and the detector. The clamping mechanism may
hurt your fingers, therefore take special care.
CAUTION:
When positioning the cassette or detector out of center:
• The alignment to the X-ray tube must be controlled
manually.
• The AEC cells might not be covered or not covered
completely, causing wrong exposure dose. Make sure
that AEC cells are covered.
