cates that the tray is locked in its fully extended (OPEN) position
(see Figure 4-2).
2. Grasp the Detector by its handle and place it in the tray, with the
handle facing out from the side of the wall stand. Ensure that the
corners of the Detector are aligned with two (2) fixed, white plas-
tic retainers mounted in the tray closest to the tray cover.

4. While maintaining pressure against the fixed retainers, move the
handle of the Detector toward the floor of the tray, to seat it in
front of the spring-loaded retainer and the clamping retainer clos-
est to the Detector handle (see Figure 4-3).
5. Set the clamping retainer to lock the Detector in place. The
Detector is prepared for a portrait exposure.
6. If necessary (for landscape exposure), and while the tray is fully
extended, rotate the detector handle downward for right-loading
configurations, or upward for left-loading configurations, until the
tray enters the detent. The foregoing procedures should result in
secure mounting of the Detector, allowing for the tray to slide
back into its tray, set for the desired orientation.

RADIOGRAPHIC TABLES
The Q-DRT rotating tray is designed specifically to support near effortless posi-
tioning of the Detector in portrait or landscape orientation. The rotating tray elim-
inates the need for the X-ray technician to remove the detector to change its
orientation. To insert the Detector into the Q-DRT rotating tray, proceed as fol-
lows:
IMAGING IN PORTRAIT ORIENTATION
1. Pull out the Detector tray handle, extracting the drawer from the
enclosure, until a "click" is heard. This locks the tray in the fully
extended (OPEN) position (see Figure 4-15).
2. Grasp the Detector by the handle and place it on the tray, so the
corners furthest away from the Detector handle aligns with the
two white plastic, fixed retainers mounted to the floor of the tray
closest to the table.
3. Apply slight pressure to the detector handle, as to seat the Detec-
tor in the fixed retainers.

CHANGING DETECTOR ORIENTATION TO LANDSCAPE


For landscape orientation exposures, it is assumed that the steps
described above (Imaging in Portrait Orientation) have been completed,
and the tray is resting in its fully extended (open) position, with the
Detector mounted, clamping retainer set, and cable properly secured.
The following instructions describe how to change the Detector’s orienta-
tion (to "landscape") without removing the detector from the tray. Pro-
ceed as follows:
1. Grasp the Detector by the handle and apply sufficient pressure
(clockwise direction) to cause the tray to rotate out of its portrait
orientation detent (see Figure 4-8), and reposition it approxi-
mately 90° into the detent for landscape orientation (Detector to
left and perpendicular to the table). Once the tray is properly
seated in its landscape detent position, the Detector is prepared
for a landscape exposure.

2. Pull the Detector tray handle out until a "click" is heard. This
releases the tray slide lock, allowing the tray to close.
3. To return the Detector back to the portrait orientation, pull the
tray (by its handle) back out to its full extended position.
4. Grasp the Detector handle and rotate it counter-clockwise from
the landscape detent to the portrait detent position (approxi-
mately -90°).
5. Release the tray slide lock by pulling out on the tray handle, then
slide the tray closed.

NOTE: The Detector should be inserted or


extracted from the rotating tray only when the
tray is in portrait orientation.

OPTIONAL REMOVABLE GRID OPERATION


Q-DRT Trays can be configured with a removable grid panel which is designed for
installation on rails inside the cover. The grid panel is mounted in a frame and fit-
ted with a locking mechanism.
Installation of the grid panel is accomplished as follows:
1. Align and insert the top and bottom flanges of the grid frame in the tracks,
using care to place the flange between the grid guide clips and the rear
surface of the phenolic panel (see Figure 4-9).
2. Push the grid panel assembly into the cover. Note that the lock actuator rod
will move the handle as it is seated (locking the grid).
