Position Description
OFF The OFF position is when no pressure is applied to the Prep/Expose button
on top of the hand switch.
PREP PREP is the next position on the hand switch. When it is partially pressed, it
brings the rotor up to speed and heats the filament. PREP also checks the
system interlocks and verifies the system is ready to make an exposure.
The button returns to the OFF position if released.
EXPOSE The EXPOSE position is when the button on the hand switch is fully
depressed. This produces X-rays that are recorded. Release the Prep/
Expose button after the exposure is completed.
