General instructions for use
6.7.4.2 Manual exposure
In case the pre-set values are judged not sufficient for exam/patient, it is
always possible to set values using the manual exposure mode.
NOTE:
In manual mode, take care that exposure parameters has to be set
considering the type of images they are referring to; in fact, for
longitudinal (or lateral) images kV value is increased passing from
posterior to anterior teeth, and must be higher for scissors/canine to
compensate the high X-ray absorption due to spine column. Vice versa,
for cross images the value has to be lower for scissors/canine and higher
for molar teeth.
To modify kV or mA, the button "7" , or button "5" has to
be pressed, respectively; in this way, the LED of button Patient size will
be switched off, while LEDs of buttons Adult/Child and Implant will
blink; display will show, per example, one of the following messages:
or
→ ← L O N G I T : 6 m m
> 5 8 k V 0 7 m A 0 3 . 5 s
→ ← T R A N S V : 4 m m
5 8 k V > 0 7 m A 0 3 . 5 s
while the symbol ">" will signal which parameter is to be modified.
Using buttons Increase "3" and Decrease "6" , it will be
possible to change the value of the selected parameter.
kV value can be changed in the range 50÷80 kV, step 2 kV.
mA value can be changed in the range 4÷10 mA, step 1 mA.
NOTE:
For a quick change, it is possible to speed up the process holding down
the Increase button "3" or Decrease "6" .
Select the Dental arch using the button Arch select large – medium (or
standard) – narrow .
