1 Introduction
1.1 General
Orthopantomograph® OP100 D is software controlled diagnostic panoramic
dental x-ray equipment for producing high quality digital images of dentition
and TM-joints.

Software is divided into two parts. User programs (“Pr”) are accessible by
the user and they have features for configuring the unit for daily use and for
changing technique factors to optimize image quality.

Maintenance & Service programs (“Sr”) are for technical people for
installation and service. Tools are required to access “Sr” programs.

This manual covers the features of the “Pr” programs OP100 D software
version 1.4.11. Please refer to the OP100 D Service Program Manual V1.4.11

2 How to program “pr” features

To begin the programming: switch the OP100 D power on. Wait for a
moment, while the OP100 D performs a self check. After warm-up is
complete, press and keep pressing OK button on the control panel. First a
beep is heard and the image layer information or exposure counter value are
displayed. After a while more “beeps” are heard and the display shows user
program information, eg. “Pr 51 PUS”. At this point, release the OK button.

NOTE
If the button is released too early, program resumes to normal operation. In
that case start again.

Select one of the “ Pr “ programs. Use up and down keys to view programs,
press OK key to select.

Set or change the parameters for this program. Use arrow keys to select
option and settings. Follow the guidelines for each “ Pr “ program described
in the next chapter.

Store any changes to the OP100 D memory. Press OK . “ PAS “ is displayed

and all indicators are lit. The same program information, eg. “Pr 51 PUS”, is
displayed again.

NOTE
If you change the parameters and forget to press “ OK “ or switch the power
off, the storing of any changes failed.

Exit from the programming. Press OK for a while. Several beeps are heard as
the normal display is resumed. Another way to exit programming is to switch
OP100 D power off, wait for 15 s, and switch the power on again.

3.1 PR 51 PUS: power up setting
The user can set the imaging program and
exposure control mode for the control panel to
appear after switching the OP100 D power on.
This will make the use of OP100 D even easier
and reduce the total imaging time, when the
most frequently used imaging program and
AEC or Manual mode are automatically
selected and the operator can concentrate on
patient positioning.

Programming:

Select program “ Pr 51 PUS “ and press OK key. Control panel shows

current power-up display, eg.

– Standard panoramic procedure (Program 1) is chosen

– Light is blinking at Program 1
– Automatic Exposure Control “ A “ and dose setting in the middle are
chosen

Change the power up setting. Select one of the imaging programs, Program 1
to 9. Use arrow keys.

Select the exposure control mode: AEC, Manual or Test. Use arrow keys.
With the AEC mode select the dose setting. From the middle position there
are four choices to have more dose and four choices for less dose. If two
lights are lit, the dose value is between these two settings. With the Manual
mode select one of the preprogrammed patient size symbols or other
technique factors.

Note that AEC can be selected for the panoramic programs (P1 - P4) only.
Move the blinking light to a place which you would be using most. Usually
this is the imaging program selection or AEC dose selection.

Press OK to store this power-up display into OP100 D

memory. OP100 D will light all indicators and display “
PAS “ momentarily and then “Pr 51 PUS” again. Select
another program or exit programming.

3.2 PR 52 CCO: constant contrast & dose settings

OP100 D image quality can be controlled by
setting the technique factors for CCD camera
and per customer preferences. This is done by
giving contrast and dose parameters for all
imaging programs P1 to P9 in this user
program. Quality Assurance (QA) image will
be used to make sure the OP100 D equipment
works properly.

AEC and Manual mode technique factors are related to each other: the
selection of contrast (kV level) and dose will fix the AEC and Manual mode
technique factors. Preprogrammed patient size symbols have only one
reference, and this reference is tied to AEC settings. The technique factors’
relation between patient size symbols is fixed.

darker exposures.

NOTE
These technique settings are for guidance. If the patient images have less
resolution than desired, you may have to change contrast and / or dose
according to user preferences.

Example: If P1 had contrast “ 66 “ and dose “ 5 “ this means that in Program

P1 AEC exposure with middle dose scale, the system measured for the patient
the values (66kV/10mA) depending on the size of the patient. In Manual
Control mode preprogrammed patient size symbols have values 66/5, 66/8,
66/10 (as AEC) and 66/12.

If you want to change contrast and dose for other programs, repeat steps 2 and
3.
