PANORAMIC X-RAY BEAM ADJUSTMENT

Technical Manual

Unscrew the two attachment screws of the quick connector mechanism cover with the 4mm
allen screw and slide the cover from its position.

NOTE

In case the X-ray is a pan/ceph unit with two fixed sensor heads, the cover is attached
to two attachment pins. Unscrew the two attachment screws with the 2.5mm allen key
and remove the cover by sliding it horizontally from its position.
