SPECIFICATIONS
NOTE:
Because X–ray equipment produces radiation, special precautions may need
to be taken or special site modifications may be required. The General Elec-
tric Company does not make recommendations regarding radiation protec-
tion. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to consult a radiation physicist for
advise on radiation protection in X–ray rooms.
NOTE:
There is an Overheat Interlock on the X–ray Tube Housing. If the factory–
adjusted temperature of the tube housing goes higher than the permissible
level, x–ray emission is terminated. If this occurs, call for service.
