[ 3 ] FUNCTION OF CONTROLS
1 Main Power Switch (Fig.2-1 ~ Fig.2-5)
Pushing the upper side of this switch to the ON position energizes the x-ray unit. (Ready light
and pre-select lights for cone type, film or digital, kV, mA, and patient size illuminate.)
It is recommended to keep this switch OFF when the unit is not in use, in order to prevent an
accidental exposure.

IMPORTANT : To prevent the risk of an accidental exposure, push the lower side
of this switch to the OFF position, when the unit is not in use.

2 Ready Light (Fig.2-6)

This light illuminates when the line voltage is within operable range (207 ~ 253Vac).
When this light is not on, exposure can not be made.

3 4 Exposure Time Adjusting Switches (Fig.2-6)

By momentarily pushing the (or ) switch, the exposure time displayed increases (or
decreases) by one increment. By keeping the switch depressed more 2 sec., the exposure time
displayed increases (or decreases) continuously until the switch is released.
Phot-XII 303 has the following 24 exposure time settings :
0.00, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.06, 0.08, 0.10, 0.13, 0.16, 0.20, 0.25, 0.32, 0.40
0.50, 0.63, 0.80, 1.00, 1.25, 1.60, 2.00, 2.50, 3.20 (sec.)

5 ~ 9 Tooth Selection Switches (T1 ~ T5) (Fig.2-6)

By pushing one of the tooth selection switches, the corresponding tooth light comes on and
suitable exposure time is displayed for the selected tooth under the following conditions 10 ~ 15 .
5 T1 : Incisor of Mandible
6 T2 : Incisor of Maxilla, Cuspid & Premolar of Mandible
7 T3 : Cuspid & Premolar of Maxilla, Molars of Mandible, Bitewing
8 T4 : Molar of Maxilla, Bitewing Molars
9 T5 : Occlusal
If the T1 switch 5 is depressed more than 3 sec. unit goes into “ Lock Mode”. In lock mode,
the only functional switch is the power switch. To exit from the lock mode, depress the T1
switch more than 3 sec. again.

10 Cone Type Selection Switch (Fig.2-6)

Depressing this switch for more than 2 sec. selects the cone type : 8” standard cone or 12”
optional long cone. (If the optional rectangular cone is to be used, select the 8” standard cone
setting.)

11 Film Speed Selection Switch (Fig.2-6)

a. PHOT-X II 303 has 16 film speed settings. (F.00 ~ F.15)
Two speed settings are pre-set at the factory (a & b) and can be selected with switch 11 .
a = Film speed No. F.09 (equivalent to ISO speed group “ D”, or Kodak Ultra-Speed film)
b = Film speed No. F.05 (equivalent to ISO speed group “ F/E”, or Kodak InSight film)
b. Pushing this switch momentarily displays the selected film speed setting in the Exposure
Time Display Window 16 .
Depressing this switch for more than 2 sec. changes the film type being selected.

-6A-
 c. If the Digital Imaging Switch 12 is depressed, both of the film speed indicating lights (a & b)
are turned off.

12 Digital Imaging Switch (Fig.2-6)

If a digital imaging system is used, shorter exposure time is often required. PHOT-X II has 16
speeds for digital imaging (d.00 ~ d.15). Pushing this switch momentarily displays the speed
being selected in the Exposure Time Display Window 16 . With the factory speed setting d.06,
the exposure time becomes half of F.06 setting.

13 kV Selection Switch (Fig.2-6)

Momentarily depressing this switch will change the tube potential to 60 or 70 kV. Since the
tube potential is constant DC, a 60 kV setting the PHOT-X II is similar to a 70 kVp setting on
a conventional x-ray. If either the Film Speed Switch 11 or Digital Imaging Switch 12 is
depressed, 60kV is automatically selected.

14 mA Selection Switch (Fig.2-6)

Momentarily depressing this switch will change the tube current setting (4 or 7 mA). If the
Digital Imaging Switch 12 is depressed, 4 mA is automatically selected and if the Film Speed
Switch 11 is depressed, 7 mA is automatically selected,

15 Patient Size Selection Switch (Fig.2-6)

This switch alters the selection of patient type/size to be radiographed (Child → Nomal → Obese
　 → Child) and sets the exposure time automatically.
NOTE : Setting or adjusting the exposure time manually (with or switch) supersedes
5 ~ 15 functions.

-7A-
16 Exposure Time Display Window (Fig.2-6)
This window displays the selected exposure time. If an abnormal condition exists or a malfunction
occurs, an Error Code is displayed. (See Section : [9] ERROR CODES)

17 Exposure Warning Light (Fig.2-6)

Illumination of this light indicates the unit is producing x-radiation.

18 Exposure Switch (Fig.2-6)

This switch initiates radiographic exposure. When making an exposure, depress and hold this
switch until the Exposure Warning Light 17 and the audible warning shut off. Failure to keep
this switch depressed will result in the premature termination of the exposure and an error code
E.00 will be displayed in Exposure Time Display Window 16 .

[ 4 ] OPERATING PROCEDURES
1. Turn ON the Main Power Switch 1 .
2. Confirm that Ready Light 2 is illuminated.

NOTE : The ready light will not illuminate unless the incoming line voltage is
correct and within the x-ray’s operable range.

3. Select the appropriate tooth type ( 5 ~ 9 ), and confirm the pre-selected conditions (cone type,
film or digital, kV, mA and patient size) are suitable for exposure.

NOTE : To manually set the exposure time, depress eigher of the manual Exposure Time
Adjusting Switches ( or ) until the desired exposure time appears in the
Exposure Time Display Window 16 . While the unit is in manual mode, other
selection switches ( 5 ~ 15 ) do not affect exposure time. (All of the tooth selection
lights are off.) To return to the automatic exposure time selection mode, depress
any one of Tooth Selection Switches ( 5 ~ 9 ).

4. Set the x-ray head in the position. X-ray head can be rotated 600 degrees horizontally and 300
degree vertically

5. Depress the Exposure Switch 18 . When the Exposure Switch is depressed, the Exposure
Warning Light 17 illuminates and the audible warning sounds. Do not release the Exposure
Switch until the Exposure Warning Light and audible warning automatically shut off.
Failure to keep the switch depressed will result in exposure being terminated prematurely.

6. To continue to radiograph other teeth, just select appropriate Tooth Selection Switches ( 5 ~ 9 ).

IMPORTANT : To protect x-ray tubehead from heat accumulation, wait for a time interval
that is equal to 50 times the selected exposure time before making additional
exposures. (Example : a 25 sec. wait is necessary between exposures that
are 0.5 sec. in duration.)

7. Turn OFF the Main Power Switch 1 in order to prevent accidental exposures when the unit is
not in use.

NOTE : If the unit left over 8 min. without being operated and the Main Power Switch 1 is
kept on, figure “ 1” runs through the Exposure Time Display Window 16 . This does
not mean that malfunction of the unit has occurred ; this is an energy saving feature.
The unit returns to ready condition by pressing any one of the switches, except the
Exposure Switch 18 .

-8A-
[ 5 ] HAND EXPOSURE SWITCH
Hand exposure switch can be connected to the sub controller. Since this exposure switch has a
coiled cord, operators can stand in the most suitable position for operation.
As controller has separate connector for this exposure switch, both exposure switch 18 on the
front panel of sub controller and this hand exposure switch can be used.
If local code prohibits use of both, ask installer to disconnect the connector of either switch.

[ 10 ] MAINTENANCE
PHOT-X II 303 x-ray unit requires post installation confirmation and periodic maintenance checks
to be performed by dealer service personnel. These procedures ensure that the x-ray unit is
functioning within the manufacture’s specifications and remains in compliance with the Standard.
It is responsibility of the owner of the unit to see that these maintenance checks are done once
every 6 months and that they are performed by a trained, certified service technician.
The specific instructions to perform these checks are located within the PHOT-X II 303 Installation
Manual.

A. Line voltage confirmation

B. Tube potential and Tube current confirmation
C. Inspection of arm and head movement
D. Mechanical safety
1. The floor mounting plate (FK1/FK2) or base plate (RK) should be checked to confirm that
it is securely attached to the floor.
2. The arm mounting bracket should be checked to confirm that it is securely attached to the
wall. The arm mounting bracket must be level horizontally and vertically (WK).
3. Check and verify that the horizontal arm is not raising up and out of the arm mounting bracket
or pole bushing. This should be verified routinely by treatment room personnel.
