Safety Information 

Installation Warning 

The operators of this equipment are responsible for the safe and prudent installation of the detector in their own 
system. All X-ray sources and controls, shielding, personnel safety monitoring devices, and personnel safety 
precautions involved in the acquisition and display of data are the responsibility of the end user. 

Safety Statement 

The general safety precautions that follow must be observed during all phases of installation, operation, service and 
repair of this system. Failure to comply with these precautions, or with specific warnings noted in this manual, 
violates the safety standards of design, manufacture and the intended used of this system. Teledyne DALSA 
assumes no responsibility for the user’s failure to comply with these requirements. 
 

Warning: This digital camera system, when installed, is subject to exposure from X-rays during operation. 

 
To ensure personnel safety, it is necessary that a radiation meter be used to check for radiation leakage after 
installation of the digital camera in the end users system.  
 
Teledyne DALSA assumes no responsibility for the proper installation of X-ray shielding, X-ray shield enclosure 
testing, or safe and prudent operation of the camera system in the end user's installation. It is the end users 
responsibility to ensure that local and federal guidelines regarding the installation and operation of X-ray sources are 
followed.  
 
For those parties supplying the power requirements to the Shad-o-Box HS, the voltage specifications must be strictly 
adhered to or the system will no longer be considered covered under warranty. 

 

No User Serviceable Components 

There are no components in this system which need to be replaced, modified, or adjusted by the end user. Please 
contact Teledyne DALSA Support for assistance if needed. 
 

Safety Warning:

 Tampering with this product voids the warranty and may degrade the detectors image quality, 

resulting in a possibly unsafe condition. 
 
The system has been designed to minimize the amount of interference it may generate in a typical installation. This 
equipment generates and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and operated in accordance with the 
instructions, may cause harmful interference to other devices in the area.  

Disposal of Product 

This detector does not contain batteries. Dispose of the unit in accordance with local regulatory guidelines.
