4 Accessories introduction Wipe the plate gently. Wipe dry or let dry for 1 minute. Pack the plate. Note! Pack the imaging plates in advance, but no longer than 24 hours before the exposure. 208396 rev 2 SOREDEX...
Visible light clears the image information from the plate, so it must be protected from ambient light between exposure and processing. Even when packed properly, the image starts to fade out slightly within time. 208396 rev 2 SOREDEX...
Imaging plate is inserted together with the protective cover all the way into the plate slot. Magnet on the plate carrier grabs the imaging plate. Processing starts automatically after you remove the protective cover. Dispose protective cover after single use. SOREDEX 208396 rev 2...
The imaging plate is dropped out of the unit. X-ray exposures and processing are not aging the imaging plate, so it is re-usable hundreds of times. In practice, mechanical wearing limits the service life of the plate. 208396 rev 2 SOREDEX...
Imaging plates gather radiation also during transportation from the manufacturer. Therefore it is recommended to perform initial erasing for the new plates. This means that all imaging plates should be processed once prior to use. SOREDEX 208396 rev 2...
Ambient light is good when storing the imaging plates: it keeps the plates clean from background radiation “fogging”. Note! Ambient light is harmful for the image information on the plate between the exposure and processing. Note! UV light is harmful for the imaging plates. 208396 rev 2 SOREDEX...
The procedure for connecting the unit to a single PC or several PCs in a local area network (LAN) is exactly the same except that every PC in the LAN needs to be given a unique ID number. 208396 rev 2 SOREDEX...
