The collimator has single transverse and longitudinal crosshairs on the output aperture
for indication of patient alignment. It has a recess for the use of a DAP measurement
chamber and additional pediatric filtration.
The Light Beam Diaphragm (LBD) provides an average luminance ≥ 160 lux at 100.0 cm
(39.0 in.) to indicate field of exposure, automatically switching off after approximately
20 seconds.
Caution
If the collimator light field LED fails to work, the user MUST call for service support. Any
exposures taken when the collimator light field LED has failed are entirely at the discretion and
associated clinical risk of the user.
