NOTE
The lower border limiting plate should not move when the upper limiting
plate is moving to its programmed position. Set the upper limit first.
If the X-ray beam is too low or too high, the vertical position of the beam
must be adjusted. Adjust the primary collimator position as follows.
1. Adjust upper and lower limits:
• Upper limit: touch the Top button and adjust the top limit value with
arrow buttons.
• Lower limit: touch the Bottom button and adjust the bottom limit value
with arrow buttons.
2. Drive the primary collimator to the selected position by pressing the SET
button.
1. Accept the new position and width and exit the collimator calibration
mode by touching the green check mark button.
2. Take a beam check exposure to check the beam position. Refer to the
Planmeca Device Tool manual, publication number 10031558.
3. If necessary, readjust the SmartPan beam again.
NOTE
If the X-ray unit is equipped with optional 120 kV tube head, see instructions
