4. Exposure time (s)

The exposure time is measured with a non invasive instrument.

PLEASE NOTE
The xgenus x-ray control features the "self-compensating" technology.
The automatic correction or compensation of the exposure time offsets the effects of the
line voltage fluctuations on x-ray film quality.
Radiographic over/under exposure is eliminated.
The automatic correction system works as follows:

A voltmeter located inside the timer constantly reads the mains voltage
while the operator selects the required exposure time.

The last voltage measured (before the exposure) is sent to the

microprocessor. The selected exposure time is corrected to voltage by
applying a special algorithm.

At the end of the exposure, during the pause time, the time-corrected value
is shown on the display of the x-ray control.
THE PAUSE TIME IS APPROX. 32 TIMES THE SET TIME.

The correct time is the actual duration of the exposure

The accuracy of the actual time is factory checked with instrument PMX-I.

5. Checking the exposure time

(continued on p. 45: Operating instructions)

WARNING
While performing periodic quality checks, some differences between the set exposure time and
the measured exposure time may be detected.
The differences are due to the automatic time compensation that intervenes when the power
voltage differs from the nominal one.
The x-ray control is provided with two types of accuracy measurements for the exposure time:
A. Set exposure (is the exposure time set by the operator on the x-ray control).

The max error is +100% / - 100% when the voltage fluctuation is -5% / +10%.
B. After exposure: its the exposure duration (automatically adjusted). Its calculated by the
microprocessor according to the line voltage, and its shown on the display.

Use a soft cloth dampened with water and mild soap to clean the outer surfaces of the x-ray.
DO NOT permit water or any liquid to penetrate the machine or severe electrical component damage
may occur. Damage of this nature is not covered under warranty.
For protection against cross-infection, it is recommended that barrier protection be used and replaced
for each patient.
Germicides must be selected carefully, realizing that many are not suitable for use with such plastics
that are used in manufacturing. Damage of this nature is not covered under warranty.
