The BATTERY VOLTAGE COMPENSATOR SWITCH adjusts for variations in battery charge. When the
battery meter is in the HIGH region, the switch should be in the HIGH position. As the battery charge is
reduced to the LOW region, the switch should be in the LOW position. After battery charging is completed,
allow the following condition for at least 15 minutes before making exposures: Keep the MAIN POWER
BREAKER at ON. If the line cord is left connected, set the KEY SWITCH at CHARGE. However, if the
line cord is disconnected, set the KEY SWITCH at ON.
The
Remote Exposure Contro! Handswitch (Illustration 1-3) has ROTOR and X-RAY buttons. Provided
that the red UNIT ON fight is glowing, depressing the rotor button will cause x-ray tube anode rotation
and filament preheating. There will be a 2.5 second delay for these functions to reach the operating point.
After that delay, the white READY lamp will glow. Then the x-ray exposure will occur immediately after
the
handswitch X-RAY button is depressed.
If the ROTOR and X-RAY buttons are depressed simultaneously, the x-ray exposure will occur after the
2.5 second delay and as the READY lamp flashes on.
In order to obtain an exposure, the MAIN POWER CIRCUIT BREAKER must be ON, the X-RAY
GENERATOR STANDBY SWITCH must be ON, and the charger cord disconnected from the power outlet.
Glow of the red X-RAY lamp indicates that x-rays are being emitted. When the READY lamp is glowing,
the X-RAY lamp will glow immediately after the handswitch X-RAY button is depressed and it will remain
