2.7 Interlocks
The Selenia Dimensions has safety interlocks:
• The C-arm vertical drive and rotation is disabled when 45 Newtons (10 pounds) or
greater of compression force is displayed.
• If the x-ray button is released before the end of the exposure, the exposure stops and an
alarm message appears.
• When in Tomo mode, the system does not allow the Grid in the x-ray field
(Tomosynthesis option).
• Mirror and Filter interlocks prevent the x-ray exposure when the Light Field Mirror or the
Filter is not aligned.
