Planmeca ProOne - Performing Beam Check for Sensor Alignment (P2520)

Chapter E: CALIBRATIONS 1 ADJUSTING AND CALIBRATING X-RAY BEAM
Technical manual Planmeca ProOne 93
Manually position the C-arm to a convenient position for viewing the sensor head. Place
the beam alignment tool on the sensor head as shown in figure below.
Darken the room sufficiently so that you will be able to see the image of the radiation beam
on the alignment tool (it is fluorescent and will glow when the radiation beam strikes it), but
not so dark that you cannot see the borders of the alignment rectangle.
Take a test exposure. The beam image will appear on the alignment tool. Observe the
beam from behind the tube head.
CAUTION
Radiation is generated when the exposure button is pressed. Protect yourself from
radiation.
The beam must be vertical. Note that the correct beam position is slightly offset, i.e. the
beam has to extend outside the bottom of the alignment rectangle.
