DenOptix QST
032-0265-EN Rev 13-12
Installation
The DenOptix QST System is designed to be installed by a qualified equipment professional
from your local dental dealer. Ask your local dental dealer for more information.
NOTE: We do not recommend that an untrained person try to install and configure the
system.
Site Selection
The DenOptix QST scanner can be located almost anywhere in the dental office. The site you
pick should have:
• Subdued lighting conditions. You should have the ability to turn
down/off the lights and block sunlight with blinds. The area to be
used for mounting imaging plates should not exceed 20 lux as
measured on a light meter. This will give you about one minute to
mount all of your imaging plates without encountering excess signal
fading. If you cannot measure the light in the room where you wish to
mount the imaging plates, you should turn off the room lights, close
all blinds and leave the door open just enough so that you can see to
mount the imaging plates. This should make the light level about 10-
20 lux. If you need more than one minute, refer to appendix B.
• A stable, flat countertop large enough to hold the scanner plus
provide a working area. We suggest a minimum of 189x369 in.
(46x92 cm). The computer does not need to be on the countertop,
but must be within the length of the USB 2.0 cable (9ft or 3m
provided). The countertop must be able to hold the weight of the unit
or a minimum of 60 lbs (27 kg).
• Access to a standard grounded electric outlet.
• Enough room to allow the operator to mount imaging plates and use
the computer effectively.
• Do not position the DenOptix QST scanner in a dusty environment.
Excessive dust levels can result in additional scanner service,
beyond normal service intervals.
If you choose to put the system in your darkroom, please prepare the site by:
• Removing all old film processing equipment and plumbing.
• Remove the safelight filter and adjust the intensity of the light by
lowering the bulb wattage until the intensity of the light around the
scanner is 20 lux or less.
• We recommend that you keep the light off and the door open when
mounting imaging plates to the carousel. The light from the open
door will allow you to see enough to mount the imaging plates but
will not adversely effect the image.
