2–2 KODAK 2100 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
• A wall framework which contains the:
• Main powerboard
• ON/OFF switch which contains a built-in LED.
• A control timer unit which:
• Performs exposure time selection and displays parameters (exposure time and
emitted dose).
• Performs a microprocessor self-test at every unit activation.
• Displays alarms in case of incorrect operation.
• Includes two exposure time modes. The digital mode corresponds to the range of
shortest exposure times that fit those needed for digital sensors.
• An extension arm and a scissor arm which is equipped with springs that ensure arm
stability.
The following figure illustrates the extension arm and the scissor arm.

recommended to use such a collimator if possible, in order to limit the radiation absorbed
by patients.
