7.3 Checking the cephalometric beam alignment
Enter the service mode (see section “How to enter/exit the service mode” on page B-6). The
radiation beam can now be checked without the sensor head moving.
Press the CTL-key.
Press and hold down the clock key until the number of the slot that you are checking appears
on the main display (SLO and the slot number) and starts to flash. You are now in the primary
slot calibration mode.
Repeatedly press the clock key until the letter “C” appears on the main display. This selection
is used to check the position of the left side of the radiation.
Place the beam alignment tool to the sensor alignment tool to horizontal position (see figure
below).
Figure 85
Select kilovolt and milliampere values high enough to enable the radiation beam to be seen in
a darkened room for example 80kV and 12mA.
Stand behind the tubehead and protect yourself from radiation. Press and hold down the
exposure button. The image of the radiation beam will appear on the beam alignment tool.
