Detector Alignment
To aid in proper alignment of the detector with respect to the X-ray source, there are alignment marks
centered on the front side (imaging side) of the detector. The arrow represents the default heads-up
display orientation.
Indicator LEDs
Two LEDs have been provided for indication of the detector status.
• The red LED lights up when the detector patient contact temperature is below 0°C (32°F) or if the
temperature exceeds 50ºC (122°F).
• The green LED lights up when the detector is powered, and has performed at least 4 scrubs. This LED
indicates “Ready to Image” status.
Table A1-1 shows a list of conditions and how they are communicated by the LED lights.
