Planmeca ProOne - Manual Exposure Adjustments Between Shots

13 CROSS-SECTIONAL EXPOSURE (OPTIONAL)
70 Planmeca ProOne User’s Manual
Press and hold down the exposure button for the duration
of the exposure. The C-arm will move through one
complete exposure cycle. During the exposure cycle the
radiation warning light on the exposure switch and on the
display will come on and you will hear a radiation warning
tone. The C-arm will then stop and wait for you to take the
next exposure.
NOTE
Maintain audio and visual contact with the patient and unit
during exposure. If the C-arm stops moving during
exposure, or moves in an erratic way, release the
exposure button immediately.
Between exposures a display is shown where you can
change the exposure values (kV and mA) and move the
target position.
To change the exposure values, touch the exposure value
field in the middle of the display and select new values on
the display that appears.
To move the target position, touch and hold either of the
target position arrows until the layer light is positioned at
the tooth (or TMJ) that you wish to expose.
The X-ray image in the top right corner shows in which
order the images will appear on the radiograph. The
active exposure is shown in full colour. The number in the
top left corner (2/3 or 3/3) indicates the number of the
active exposure.
Take the next exposure in the same way as described
above.
You can move the C-arm to the starting position, if it is not
already there, by touching the C-arm return button in the
bottom left corner.
If you take only one or two exposures you will have to stop
the exposure procedure by touching the stop button in the
bottom right corner.
When you have taken the number of exposures that you
require the temple supports will automatically open and
you can guide the patient from the unit.
NOTE
If exposures are taken in rapid succession the X-ray tube
will overheat and a cooling time will be shown on the
display (e.g. Cooling: 21 s). The cooling time indicates the
delay before the next exposure can be taken.
