If one or more checks to be performed are not satisfactory, please contact your dealer tech support.
Step
Check that all labels located
-
on the detector/detectors,
-
on the 3D Panel (if present)
1
-
at the base of the column,
-
on the X-ray tube housing,
are intact, well attached and legible.
Check there are no external damages to the equipment which could reduce protection
2
against radiation.
3
Check the remote emission button cable is not broken or scratched.
Check the power switch verifying that the switch is working properly and the touch panel
4
display illuminates when the switch is in the on position.
5
Verify that exposure is immediately interrupted when X-rays button is released
6
Check the touch console functionality: functions must respond to interrogation.
7
Check proper functioning of X-ray exposure LED and exposure buzzer
8
Check proper functioning of X-ray cenetring laser traces
Check if detector fits easily in the guides Pan and CEPH sides – only for unit with
9
Cephalometric arm and one removable detector.
Perform a motors movement test running the Dummy panoramic procedure, making sure
10
the movement on the 3 axis X, Y,R (rotation and translation simultaneously) is smoothly
and without noise. See figure 1, next page.
In case a Cephalometric arm is installed, perform a motors movement test of the
cephalometric detector using the Dummy Ceph exam procedure, making sure the
11
movement on the axe H (translation) is smoothly and without noise. See figure 1, next
page.
Perform column movements, up and down on the Z axis and check proper functioning.
12
See figure 2, next page.
Check the emergency button functionality. Emergency button is used to stop X-ray

Check the X-Ray Generator functionality performing a complete trial exam exposure.
Select any panoramic exam and reset the unit. Hold down the emission button
14
throughout the entire exam procedure. Absence of error messages assures a proper
generator functionality.
If Quality Phantoms are not available at installation site, then contact your dealer tech support to have the Quality Assurance procedure performed at your premises
