BEST-X-DC has a unique safety system against short circuits or malfunction of the unit, this
system is the automatic fuse THERMOSWITCH.

This device intervenes in case of conduction for a time longer than 6 sec. In this situation
it blocks the continuity between the control unit and the monoblock, thus preventing the
emission of anomalous X-ray.

In case of intervention of the THERMOSWITCH, this will be replaced, this operation requires
a service call to technical assistance.

Wall plate installation

 This equipment is supplied with a plate for mural fixing (A), closed by a plastic cover
(fig.1). Remove the plastic cover.

fig. 1 fig. 2

 Define the position on the wall of the WALL PLATE (A) with respect to the amplitude
of the working field chosen and to the size of the structure that the same can assume
right or left of the axis of the wall plate when it is inactive.

 Plot on the wall the position of the six holes making sure to check the perpendicularity
with a plumb line. If the electric plant is recessed, track also the corresponding hole
(Fig. 2)

 Drill six holes on the wall starting with the tip of  7, enlarging gradually. This to not
demolish the stability and maintain under control the interaxes. For walls of full or
holed or cement bricks use metallic plugs preferable of  12 equipped with
unmissable female grain and separated screw  6 with hexagonal head and washer.

 For types of wall of insufficient reliability it is necessary to resort to the construction of a

reinforcement to be defined case by case.

 Apply the wall plate and bring it closer parallel to the wall by tightening the 6 screws
alternately, if the wall is not perfectly flat put adequate thicknesses so as not to
deform the wall plate.

Springs adjustment of the double pantograph arm

Do not intervene personally in the arm’s settings, have this operation made exclusively by
specialized personnel only.

 In the case in which the double pantograph arm does not remain stationary in all
positions wanted by the user, it means that requires some adjustments. The
calibration must be performed as follows: with reference to fig. 11, if it was found that
the section A is spread when the double pantograph tends to go back, it means
that the spring is too tight and in this case we must unscrew slightly the push-spring
nut through the socket wrench supplied. To do this, tilt the section A of about 15 °
and insert the socket wrench into the hole 1 and unscrew slightly.

 If on the contrary it is found that stretching the double pantograph, the stretch A
tends to fall forward, it means that the spring must be slightly loaded, then as before,
tilt the stretch A of 15 ° and insert the socket wrench into the hole 1 and screw slightly.

 This procedure is identical for the section B in which the adjusting key must be
inserted in the hole 2.

Operation

Environmental working conditions from 0 to 40 C°.

After possibly plugging in the battery, push and release the on/off button, the display will
light up and show the “New Life Radiology” logo, the software version and, ultimately, the
exposure parameters screen.

As of this moment, after approximately a ten second inner processing time, it is possible to
put the system on standby pushing and releasing the button. To exit the standby mode and
to get back to the latest screen, repeat the same operation.

The system will enter the saving mode also after a period of time customizable through a
further screen and, next time, it will turn off automatically.

To turn off the display, keep the on/off button pressed for as long as 6 seconds: differently
from the standby mode, where the display turns off gradually, in this case, the display will be
suddenly turning off.

The touch-screen display will allow the user to interact with the interface through virtual
buttons and sliders as well as to read all the information regarding configurations, feedback
and mistakes.

Below, all the screens and all of the actually implemented functions will be explained in
detail.

X-Ray Configuration Screen

In the above screen, it is possible to set all of the parameters for the next exposition, in
particular the exposure time, in line with the tooth, animal and film, the kV and the mA.

Pressing on the tooth, on the animal, the user selection will be “surrounded” by a green line,
whereas, to change the film (or RGV digital sensor), the kV and mA, it will be sufficient to
press the desired button just one time.

In case you suppose that the times are wrong, it is also possible to change them according
to the current configuration with the + and - buttons and save the new time pushing SET: the
new time is saved permanently in the memory until a new parameter reset occurs.

The charge level of the battery always shows.

In order to access another function push the Menu button where as to start the exposition
just select the X-ray icon (Pre-Start).

X-Ray Pre-Start

In this screen the hand-held seeks the receiver and, once found it, programs it making
“Configuration done” appear.

At this point it is possible to do the x-ray pressing the X-Ray button and keeping it pressed.

If the button is pressed prior to the configuration the x-ray does not occur and the button
releasing is requested, if instead, the receiver is not found, after a certain period of time it is
necessary to exit such screen.

To exit, in any case, it is sufficient to press the Cancel button.

To carry out an X-ray, you need to keep the X-Ray button pressed until the cooling process

Procedures for the filament current measures:

Measurement of the filament current
The measurement of the filament current can be carried out through the use of an
oscilloscope or by means of a digital multimeter. To perform this measurement, proceed as
follows:

 After removing the back cover, making reference to fig.21, connect oscilloscope / tester
terminals across the resistor to 1KΩ.

Measurement using the oscilloscope:

Measure across the resistor the voltage value. To make the measurement with an
oscilloscope, you need:

set the time base [SEC/DIV] and Volt time scale [VOLTS/DIV] of the oscilloscope in an
appropriate manner, so that the waveform of the measured voltage fills the screen of the
oscilloscope, as shown in fig.22 (the order of magnitude of exposure time to perform the
current measurement is of a few hundred ms)

fig. 22

By setting the timer on 7 mA, if the measurement is performed correctly it is expected to see
an average value of about 7 V (to each V corresponds 1 mA). As if 4 mA are set on timer
the average value that is expected to read is about 4 V.

Measurement using the digital multimeter:

It is necessary to set the full scale of the multimeter in an appropriate manner in order to
measure the voltage across the resistance; then after positioning the end sleeves of the
multimeter across the resistor (as shown previously in fig. 21) set an exposure time long
enough to allow the multimeter to read this voltage (the order of magnitude of the
exposure is approximately 1 sec). The value that is expected to read is like in the previous
case of about 7 V / 4 V depending on the current value set on the timer (to each V
corresponds 1 mA)

Procedure for dosimetric measurements:

During an inspection test are carried out dosimetric measurements to verify correct
operation. These measures are carried out by a special instrument cluster with the following
procedure:

 The instrument used for dosimetric measurements is the RTI ELECTRONICS PIRANHA
255;

 Is positioned the instrument at a distance of 50 cm from the fire hose and found the
dose values expressed in mGy;

 It checks the performance of the X-ray tube is in compliance with the project
specifications;

 The tests are stored in digital format and made available for those who request them;

 A sharp film folding can be the cause of the appearance of a black line on the film
Recommendations
For maximum radiological image quality with minimal X-ray dose, we recommend the use
of films with high sensitivity and the respect of development time proposed by the
manufacturer of the films, shaking continuously films during the development itself. If the
image thus obtained is too dark, it is necessary to decrease the X-ray exposure time and not
the development duration.

In the case of manual development it is good to know that the developer liquid preserves
its efficiency in average for a week regardless of the number of films processed. Please note
that the treatment liquids are harmful to the environment and must be disposed of as
indicated by the manufacturer.

Film positioning
During normal operation, the film must be positioned at 90 ° with respect to the cone
collimator, as shown in fig.26
