What to do if the ARIBEX Dental equipment image from x-ray exposure does not have sufficient contrast?
- G
  Gary Gutierrez PhDAug 5, 2025
  If your ARIBEX Dental equipment x-ray image lacks sufficient contrast, it could be due to several reasons. If the image is too light (underexposure), increase the exposure time. If the image is too dark (overexposure), decrease the exposure time and check the film expiration date, as old film can produce dark, grainy, or foggy images. For film-based imaging, ensure your chemical developer is fresh and at the correct temperature.

Why do the green START and yellow X-RAYS ON indicators flash on my ARIBEX Dental equipment?
- J
  John RodriguezAug 13, 2025
  The green START and yellow X-RAYS ON indicators on your ARIBEX Dental equipment flash, accompanied by a series of long beeps, because of an incomplete exposure. This happens when the trigger was released before the timed exposure could finish. This condition clears automatically within 15 seconds, or by turning the device off and back on. The exposure will likely need to be repeated.

Why does the green ENABLED indicator stop flashing on my ARIBEX Dental equipment?
- M
  martinlongAug 20, 2025
  The green ENABLED indicator on your ARIBEX Dental equipment stops flashing (and the short double beeps end) before an exposure starts because the system is no longer enabled. If an x-ray exposure isn't initiated within 30 seconds of enabling, the System Ready condition terminates. Double-check the exposure time setting and re-enable when the operator and patient are properly situated.

How to fix a blurred image from x-ray exposure on ARIBEX Dental equipment?

  David HernandezAug 27, 2025
  A blurred image from x-ray exposure on your ARIBEX Dental equipment is likely due to movement of the operator or patient during the exposure, causing distortion. Check the exposure time setting and re-enable the device when both the operator and patient are properly situated and still.
