5.3.2. SENSOR POSITIONING
Check that the sensor to be used is inserted in the position suitable for the examination to be performed; otherwise,
reposition the sensor.
If the sensor is not in the position suitable for the examination to be performed, a warning will be displayed
on the control console onboard the machine and it will be impossible to perform the examination chosen.
Usually, sensors for PAN and CEPH examinations cannot be removed by the user.
Only in the event of an X-ray device equipped with a CEPH arm for tele-X-rays, and featuring only one sensor, it is
necessary to move the sensor from the CEPH position to the PAN position and vice versa, depending on the type of
examination to be performed.
The X-ray device automatically detects the presence of the sensor in the position in which it is inserted and in relation
with the type of examination planned: if the sensor is not in the position corresponding with the examination, the
system allows removing and moving it to the correct position.
The sensor coupling system contains electronic parts and a mechanical lock.
It is not recommended to remove the sensor during operation.
Do not remove the sensor if this function is not required and prepared by the X-ray device.
The sensor is a delicate electronic part.
When confirming the start of an examination type which requires a different position of the sensor, the X-ray device
automatically prepares for the removal or the insertion.
Proceed as shown below to couple PAN and CEPH sensors, following the phases from 1 to 3.
To release the PAN and CEPH sensors, press the suitable button on the back of the sensor and follow the phases
from 3 to 1.
