1.16 Calibrating the Cephalometric DEC
NOTE Make sure that the cephalometric beam is correctly aligned before calibrating the
cephalometric DEC.
Note that you can also calibrate DEC with the AEC/DEC calibration tool, part number
10007501.
Use the long screws that hold the tube head front cover in position to attach the calibration
tool:
Unscrew the long screws and place the Flat Field calibration tool (part number 10017348) in
front of the collimator as shown. Position the calibration tool so that the long screw on the left
(as seen from the front) touches the inner edge of the oval shaped screw hole as shown and
the calibration tool is slightly tilted back. Tighten the long screws firmly to secure the calibra-
tion tool in position.
Use the 35mm aluminum filter for the calibration, that is, lift up one of the filters.
