8. Collimate by adjusting the size of the field with the two control knobs located on

the front of the collimator. See Illustration 5−6.

For fine positioning of the collimator, see Step 9.

The left knob controls the

transverse

dimension of the blades, and the right

blade knob controls the

longitudinal

dimension of the blades. (A diagram on

the face of the collimator shows which knob controls which dimension.) See
Illustration 5−6.

Field sizes from 0x 0 inches up to 17x17 inches (43x43 cm) at a 40 inch
(102 cm) SID can be obtained. The knob selectors indicate the field size for
a selected SID.

Dial numbers on the calibrated scale are for 40 inch/100 cm and 72 inch/180
cm scale SIDs.
