Installation and Start-Up
When making test exposures, follow the instructions on Page 11 - 8 for positioning the
AEC calibration plexi and measuring the density.
1. Mains voltage and system ON.
2. Mount an 18x24 cm compression plate to the MAMMOMAT 3000/3000 Nova.
3. Select a thickness of AEC calibration plexi, that is within the thickness interval of
the program to be tested. The thickness intervals can be found in <Mainmenu>,
<Configuration>, <Miscellaneous> and <Auto limits>. For more information about
Auto limits, see Chapter " Miscellaneous -> Auto limits" in the service manual
"Service Program" for MAMMOMAT 3000/3000 Nova.
4. Select AUTO on control panel.
5. Place the AEC calibration plexi on the object table in question and compress to
6 kg or more.
6. Check that the correct program is blinking on the control panel. Select the
program by pressing the corresponding program button on the control panel.
7. Check the optical density (O.D.) by making exposure on film. The O.D. shall be as
close to 1,5 as possible (or the density preferred by customer). If necessary adjust
density correction on control panel. Save with the store button.
8. Repeat the procedure described in steps 3-7 for the other used programs.
9. Note the OPDOSE settings in the attached test protocol.
