Power Source
Power supply
12 V AC/DC adapter
Battery operated
Six 1.5 V batteries type LR6 (size AA), alkaline or type HR6
chargeable NiMH. Operation time (with 1 EMM and 1 MPD),
typically:
· 5 hours with 2100 mAh NiMH batteries
· 6.5 hours with 2600 mAh NiMH batteries
· 3-4 hours with alkaline batteries.
External power
100-240 V AC 50/60 Hz with external adapter. Chargeable
batteries can be charged in the cabinet when external power is
connected.
When not running the MPD motor, the system may also be
supplied from a laptop computer via USB. The USB supply
current is limited, so it may not work in all cases.

2.6.2 Multi-Purpose Detector (MPD)
2.6.2.1 General
With this multi-purpose detector you will manage most of your measurements. Tube
voltage, exposure time, dose, and dose rate are measured for all kinds of modalities:
conventional radiography, fluoroscopy, pulsed fluoroscopy, cine, mammography,
dental, panoramic dental, and CT (kVp only, not dose and doserate). In one exposure,
the detector provides tube voltage, time, dose, dose rate, quick-HVL, and estimated
total filtration on radiographic, fluoroscopic, dental, and CT exposures. On pulsed
radiation and cine, also dose per pulse and pulse rate are measured. The
multi-purpose detector is very sensitive and can measure peak tube voltage for as low
outputs as 50 kV / 0.050 mA at 50 cm.
