X-Ray Generator - Kodak RVG User Manual

The remote control is connected to the computer with
its USB 2 connector. You can connect the remote
control with the power on, when the computer is
switched on. You do not need to start the Kodak dental
imaging software before you connect the sensor.
However, you can acquire the image only in the
imaging module. You can disconnect the remote
control with the power on, but do not disconnect the
remote control when you are acquiring an image. This
can damage the sensor.

X-ray Generator

The x-ray generator has a significant impact on image
quality. Due to its high sensitivity and capacity to store
an enormous quantity of information, the sensor requires
high-energy rays generated over very short time periods.
This way, the images are formed by a maximum number
of gray levels and you can process the images digitally
to assist in extracting the clinical information. The
Kodak generators meet the requirements.
As a general rule, the sensor is compatible with all
generators provided the generator meets the current
standard of intraoral radiology. You can use a
high-frequency or conventional generator. The
generator must operate with a voltage of 60 to 70kV.
The generator head must have a long cone with a focal
point / film distance of at least 20 cm, to concentrate
the x-rays toward the sensor. Select a mechanism that
supports the generator and provides stability to avoid
any motion blurring due to vibration of the x-ray source.

Caution!
See "Acquiring
Images" on page 3–1
for the precautions
to take when
connecting and
disconnecting the
sensor in certain
operating modes.
Important
The power of a
generator decreases
over time. Have the
generator inspected
annually to determine
any difference
between its nominal
and effective power.
Important
The sensor is not
compatible with
generators of lesser
specifications.
