Transportation and Storage
The active imaging surface of the digital
X-ray plate is sensitive to temperature. To
ensure safe transportation and storage
of the digital X-ray plate, always transport
and store the plate in the supplied
case. Connect the digital X-ray plate to
a power supply (Connector 1) or to the
12-volt electrical system (Connector 2)
of your vehicle as shown in the diagram,
and turn on the temperature control.
This ensures that the plate is always
transported and stored in the optimum
temperature range.
CAUTION: At temperatures below 5°C
(40°F) or above 5°C (95°F), changes to
the surface can occur. At temperatures
above 40°C (104°F), depending on time
and temperature, irreversible changes
will take place.
If the ambient temperature rises above
27°C (80°F) or falls below 10°C (50°F),
make sure the case is connected to
a main power supply or to the 12-volt
electrical system of your vehicle and
is turned on. The plate can be used in
the extreme temperatures as long as it
is placed into the case between taking
shots.
A combined heating and cooling
element (Peltier element) is installed
in the transport case, and insulation
ensures that the temperature within
the case changes very slowly. The red
LED indicates temperatures below 15°C
(60°F) and the temperature control
module has automatically turned on
the heating. The green LED indicates
temperatures above 5°C (95°F) and
the cooling is active. If the temperature
range is above 15°C (60°F) or below
5°C (95°F), none of the LEDs light up;
the temperature in the case is within
the allowable temperature range and is
displayed on the temperature control
module. When heating or cooling is active,
the temperature control module will keep
heating or cooling until a temperature of
25°C (77°F) is reached in the case.
IMPORTANT: Transport and store the digital
X-ray plate only at temperatures of 5°–5°C (40°–
95°F). Transportation, operation, and storage
at temperatures exceeding this temperature
range may permanently damage the digital X-ray
plate. Damage to the plate due to inappropriate
temperatures is not covered by warranty.
