Configuring Control Settings
The 765DC control panel is preset at the factory (called default settings) for
operation with a standard configuration. This configuration assumes the use of the
standard 8" focal length cone and D-speed film or a DenOptix digital imaging
system. This standard configuration presets the exposure times for the anatomical
selections. These presets can be changed for use with E-speed or F-speed film or
another type of digital imaging system, or with the optional long cone.
The film speed and digital option can be changed using the control panel
buttons and software.
Compensating for the cone length is done by changing a switch inside of
the control box. Note: It is recommended that this be done only by an
authorized Gendex service agent.
Changing the default settings for the film speed used
The 765DC is set at the factory for the use of D-speed film. This can be verified by
turning the control and noting that the time initially displayed is 0.320 seconds. The use of
E-speed or F-speed film requires modifying the exposure times used. The system can be
programmed to accomplish this automatically.
1. Turn the system off.
2. Press and hold the anatomical time selector switch while turning the system on (see Figure 1).
3. The time display will now read "SP 1". This confirms the system is in the film speed menu.
4. To change to E-speed. Press the exposure time 'Up' button. The time display will now read
"SP 2". This confirms that the system is now set for E-speed film.
5. Press the anatomical time selector switch again to store the new setting. The time displayed
should now indicate 0.200 seconds.
6. To change to F-speed. Press the exposure time 'Up' button
again until the display reads "SP 3".
7. Press the time selector switch to store the setting. The time
displayed should now indicate 0.125 seconds.
