3 Select the timer parameters for your generator.
The table below provides you with guidelines for exposure times for an average generator at
70 kV and 8 mA. These are approximative values. Adjust the values for your specific generator.
For patient comfort, position the generator near to
the patient’s head so that the patient does not wait
too long with the sensor in the mouth.

Child with RVG # 0 Tips!
Use the dose indicator to
correctly determine the exposure
time for your generator.
• If the image is too dark or if
the dose indicator is displayed
in red and towards the right of
the band, reduce the exposure
settings
• If the image is too light or if
the dose indicator is red and
towards the right of the band,
increase the exposure settings
• If the dose indicator is displayed
in green and anywhere in the
middle of the band, the exposure
is correct.
