Pre-Installation Check
Electrical Requirements
Optimally, the PC-1000 and the PC-1000/Laser 1000 should have a dedicated 105-125 VAC, 20 A circuit
with line regulation of 5% or better. If a dedicated circuit is not available, a regular 20 A circuit will work
as long as it is not taxed by other loads beyond 5 A. A standard 115 VAC, three-wire, grounded, electrical
outlet should be installed by an electrician behind the machine.
Control Panel Orientation
The control panel on the PC-1000 and the PC-1000/Laser 1000 is mounted directly on the side of the
machine and requires no separate installation, wiring, or mounting. Although the control panel is mounted
on the patient's left side from the factory, it can be easily relocated to the opposite side during installation.
Verify with the doctor on which side the control panel should be located.
Cephalometric Arm Orientation
The cephalometric arm for the PC-1000/Laser 1000 is shipped in a separate box and can be mounted on
either side of the machine. Verify with the doctor on which side the cephalometric arm should be located.
Remote Switch
Some states and local governments require that the exposure switch to be remotely installed. A remote
switch kit is available from Panoramic Corporation. Refer to Appendix G for detailed procedures.
Darkroom Requirements
Proper darkroom facilities must be present before installing the PC-1000 or PC-1000/Laser 1000. The
darkroom will be used to process test fi lms at the time of installation to verify proper calibration. Refer to
Appendix A for darkroom requirements and processing procedures.
