•
Switch the system
OFF
and reattach the cover to the VIDEOMED DI M.

If the dose rate / iris diaphragm is readjusted during subsequent
operation, the new values must be entered in Table 5.3.3 along
with the date and the name of the technician.
The setting for the dose rate must be performed using the service
PC. The adjustment menus required are described in the Start-Up
Instructions, ”System Configuration with the Service-PC”,

•
Measure the B signal of one line in
the center of the image
(60 Hz N line 128, 50 Hz N line 156)
for all I.I. formats (refer to Fig. 2) and
record the results.
•
The B-signal on VIDEOMED DI M
must be 300 mV,
±
20 mV.
•
If the values are within tolerance,
enter them in the Table 5.3.2
”Checked during Start-up”.
