Launching the X-Ray
4–2 ACQUIRING AN IMAGE
Launching the X-Ray
To launch the X-ray, follow these steps:
WARNING
Be careful not to be exposed to ionizing radiation
1. Press from the control timer unit or from the X-ray exposure switch.
The X-ray emission indicator lights up and a beep is heard.
2. Keep pressing until the X-ray emission indicator is OFF and the beep stops.
During the X-ray emission, the exposure time counts off on the display.
CAUTION
If you release the button before the end of the X-ray, a manipulator alarm
(E01) is enabled.
This indicates that the X-ray emission was aborted prematurely. There is an
underexposure risk. Depending on the remaining time, you can decide to
process the image or start a new image acquisition.
To stop the alarm, press on from the control timer unit.
When the acquisition is completed, the emitted dose is displayed in mGy. The “mGy” indicator
lights up. For information on the emitted doses based on the exposure times, see Table 3-5.
The latest parameter settings are kept until a new image acquisition is performed.
3. Press on shortly to change from mGy to exposure time display.
