8 INSTALLING THE EXPOSURE SWITCH
NOTE
The exposure switch must be located in a position that satisfies the local radiation safety
regulations with regards to operator safety and shielding of X-ray equipment. The exposure
switch can be mounted on the wall, or it can be hung from the hook located on the back of
the moving column if a protected area is within reach.
NOTE
The wiring options for a remote installation (European and US versions) are shown in
section 11 "DIAGRAMS" on page 37.
CAUTION
Only the Planmeca cross connection spiral cable (Planmeca part no. 10001193)
can be used between the ProOne X-ray unit and the exposure switch. This cable
can be lengthened with an RJ12 Coupler and a Modular extension cable (6wire with
2xRJ12).
8.1 Movable exposure switch
Use the holder plate to mark the position of the exposure switch.
• If the wall is made of concrete or brick, use the 4x30 screws and the 6x30
expansion anchors. Drill ø6mm (0.23 in.), 20 mm (0.8 in.) in depth, securing
holes and place the expansion anchors onto the holes.
• If the wall is made of wood, use the 4x30 screws. Do not use the expansion
anchors with wooden wall. Drill ø3 mm (0.11 in.), 20 mm (0.8 in.) in depth, holes
for the attachment screws.
Attach the holder plate to the wall with the two attachment screws. The exposure switch
can then be positioned on the holder plate.
Connect the exposure switch cable to the terminal on the back of the moving column. To
do this, you will first have to remove the cover that protects the terminals. Remove the
protective cover by unscrewing the two screws at the bottom and then unlatching the
cover at the top.
First attach a ferrite bead (included in the delivery) to the exposure switch cable. Then
connect the exposure switch cable to either of the two terminals in the middle (marked
EXP).
