Radiation leakage technique factors
The maximum rated peak tube potential is 84 kV and the maximum rated continuous tube
current is 3 mA for the maximum rated peak tube voltage.
Filtration
The Radiation port contains additional filtration of at least 2 mm aluminium.
Total filtration min. 2.5 mmAl.
When the X-ray beam is attenuated with the 2.5 mmAl the resulting dose is 0.5 - 0.6 times the
original.
Maximum attenuation equivalent of the front panel of the
panoramic cassette holder
0.5 mmAl
Rated line voltage
100 - 240 V~ ±10%
Maximum line current
Maximum 15 Amperes at 100 V~, 8A at 230 V~
Technique factors that constitute the maximum line current
condition
84 kV / 16 mA
Generator rating and duty cycle
1.5 kW, duty cycle approximately 1:10. The wait period is calculated using the following for-

where HS
MAX
= maximum tube anode heat storage capacity (28 kJ)
HS

= current tube anode heat storage
HS

= heat storage caused by next intended exposure (kV x mA x s)
f = tube anode cooling rate as a function of heat storage (given by tube
manufacturer)
