1.6 Calibrating the left side of the cephalometric X-ray beam
Take a beam check exposure. Refer to the Planmeca Device Tool manual, publication num-
ber 10031558. A fade-out area of 2-3mm must be seen in the left side of the X-ray beam. If
needed, adjust the left side of the beam as follows.
From the list on the i610 display select Ceph mode C-arm rotation (i61.5).

The Ceph mode C-ar m rotation display appears.
Figure 14
Adjust the C-arm position value with the Ceph mode C-arm rotation arrows and drive the C-
arm to the new position by touching the Test field. The left arrow will move the X-ray beam
towards the left side border of the sensor and the right arrow moves the X-ray beam towards
the right side border of the sensor (seen from behind the tube head).
After touching the Test field wait a moment for the C-arm movement.
