10. Front adjustment of the photocell position is accomplished via a lever located on either

11. Patient handles. The patient can steady herself during the examination by holding the

12. The Up / Down and Rotation control buttons are located at the top and bottom of each
handrail.
13. The light centering switch is also located at the top and bottom of each handrail.

15. Red light for cassette detection and exposure inhibit.
Note:
The Senographe 800T is equipped with an exposure interlock feature which prevents an
exposure from being made if there is no cassette in the Bucky/cassette holder, or if the
cassette from the previous exposure has not been changed. However, it is possible for
special purposes such as physicist testing for example to disable this interlock (see
chapter 3 for a detailed explanation).
Trying to make an exposure without a cassette in the Bucky/Cassette–holder or
without having changed the cassette between two exposures will make the red light
(15) come ON. The exposure will be inhibited.
It is not recommended to remove the exposed cassette from the Bucky/Cassette
holder by pushing it out with another cassette. This would prevent the exposure
interlock feature from functioning correctly.
When inserting a cassette in the Bucky, make sure that it is inserted all the way in and
firmly held between the two stoppers.
