Technical Manual
2.13 X-ray unit with fixed primary collimator - primary collimator
adjustment
NOTE In case your X-ray unit is equipped with a multi primary collimator, adjust the primary
collimator angle according to the instructions given in section 2.4 “Primary collimator
angle adjustment” on page E-12, and adjust the panoramic beam according to the
instructions given in section 2.5 “Panoramic beam adjustment” on page E-14.
WARNING
Do not adjust the position of the primary collimator mechanism
while X-rays are being generated. Check the beam position, adjust
the position with the X-rays switched off and then recheck the
position. If the beam is still misaligned, repeat the procedure.
Select kilovolt and milliampere values high enough to enable the radiation beam to be seen in
the darkened room. The actual values depend on how dark the room is.
To enter the calibration mode, first touch the i field on the Main display. Select Technical
calibrations (i600) from the list on the display. The password to the Technical calibrations
mode is asked when the Technical calibrations mode is entered for the first time after switch-
ing the unit on. The password is 1701.
