Detector Grid
The GE Portable DR Detector grid is integrated with a holder that fits the detector exactly. The grid fits
over the detector handle and has raised edges to fit around the detector. Once together, you may handle
the grid and detector as one unit.
The arrows on the grid surface show the direction of the grid lines. As shown in Figure A1-4, they grid
lines run horizontally.
Figure A1-4
Grid
Place the grid over the detector so that the detector LED lights show through the holes in the grid holder.
Grid Attachment
The bottom edge of the detector should be placed into the bottom lip of the grid holder while held in the
vertical position with the carbon graphite cover (on the front of the detector) facing the inside of the grid
holder. Then press the detector into the top edge of the grid holder. Be careful to not pinch your fingers or
clothing when assembling.
While in use, keep a firm grasp on both the grid holder and the detector. The markings for the active area
are clearly shown on the exterior surface of the grid holder.
