3 Preparations for operation
10 GE Healthcare 86500-IMG rev 3
Switching ON and OFF restores the default settings on the control panel. It
is recommended that you allow a warm-up period of approximately 3
minutes after the unit is switched on.
3.3 CONTROL PANEL
Diamond’s control panel uses
an LCD-display and 7-
segment LED displays for
status information display
and has various buttons to
regulate the functions of the
X-ray unit.
The control panel can be
attached to the radiation
shield or to the wall. Exposure
can be initiated only from the
control panel exposure
button. Use of the function
buttons depends on the
menu display and required
functions. These buttons are
used to choose various
imaging modes, to select the
Integrated Quality Control
(IQC) function and date, time
and hospital information
input.
Use the Cancel button to go
back one step in the menu
without selecting an option
or to cancel a selection. Use
the SET button to accept
selections and to proceed to
the next step in the menu. The exposure button initiates the exposure
signal to the computer, but when it is released, the hardware inhibits the
exposure. The use of the LCD-display and control panel interface in
service and setup modes speeds up the installation and service.
