300 VDC  During preparation and exposure the 300 VDC (rectified mains voltage) is
fed into the unit.
80 kHz pulses  Pulses at 80 kHz pass to the filament regulator driver, the output voltage
of which depends on the duty cycle of the driving pulses.
40 kHz pulses  Pulses at 40 kHz pass to the filament inverter driver, the output of which
goes to the filament transformer in the tube-head.
The inverter current is sensed by a dedicated resistor.
20 kHz pulses  During preparation, pulses at 20 kHz pass to the High Voltage (HV)
inverter driver. During exposure the pulses pass also to the High Voltage
regulator driver.
The output voltage of the regulator depends on the duty cycle of the
driving pulses.
 The output of the inverter is connected to the HV transformer in the tube-
head. The inverter current is sensed by a current transformer
 The regulation section controls the level of kV and mA by comparing the
feedback signals with the reference signals set by the control unit.
 The anode voltage (kV) is determined by the input voltage to the high
voltage transformer (tube-head).
 The anode current (mA) is determined by the filament supply.
 Calibration is required only for the filament supply.

RADIATION
Picture Examination  While the panoramic unit is producing radiation, and assuming that
the beam falls on the surface of the sensor, you will see an
illuminated area representing the position of the actual beam
detected by the sensor.
 The numbers located on the top and bottom of the window indicate
the direction the sensor should be moved for proper alignment. (seen
from behind the sensor).
 If the beam is not detected by the software, or if it appears bent and
not vertical, laterally shifted, or vertically shifted, alignment has to be
performed.
 See next page for alignment instructions.
 If the green “Alignment ok” is displayed, the alignment is complete.
NOTE: Very minor deviations are tolerated.
NOTE: Be sure to check the alignment again after replacing any

covers.
NOTE: Perform the calibration procedure after the alignment has
been completed (refer to section 3.9 Sensor Calibration).

 The position sensors are made of three electro-optical devices each

combining a light transmitter and a light receiver.
 The presence of light is detected, or the absence of the same due to a
non-transparent object cutting the beam of light.
 A metal disk and a linear plate with shaped profile and bearing a set of
holes are used to generate the signals for the rotation and translation
movement of the rotating arm (drive).
 Device A intercepts beginning and end of movement.

3.9 Sensor Calibration

The software calibration tool is used after any alignment or
hardware adjustments performed to the panoramic machine or
sensor.
Calibration is to be performed after the sensor has been
properly aligned, securely mounted and the entire panoramic
unit has been fully assembled with all covers.
Any alignment parts that may obstruct the XRAY beam must
be removed. This includes bite pieces, chin rests, and forehead
alignments.
Calibration allows the imaging software to get to know a
particular panoramic machine and makes software
adjustments for optimum performance.
For this process, you will need the 20 mm Al filter provided.
 To perform a calibration start the OrisWin Suite software and
click on Patients. Select any patient from the list and start
image management. Click on Panoramic module. In the Ajat
Panoramic Application, click Tools> Maintenance> Calibration.
 Attach the supplied 20 mm Al filter over the tube head
covering the focal spot.
 Click Calibrate when ready.
 The calibration process consists of several steps which include
making three exposures. Follow the on screen directions.
 Once the calibration is complete, the results will be displayed
on the right.
 If all the categories are green, the calibration was successful.
Yellow graphs indicate that maximum tolerances are close to
being exceeded and should be checked.
If the results are green or yellow, verify that the sensor
installation was successful by taking a test image.
Red graphs indicate that a maximum tolerance has been
exceeded.

irradiation upon release of the exposure hand-switch.
 If error appeared without request by the operator check the cable of the hand-
switch, its connector or the Control Unit.
Error 12 Exposure aborted before irradiation
 Error generated by interruption during movement before irradiation. If error
appeared without request by the operator check the cable of the hand-switch, its
connector or the Control Unit.
32/40 69 682 91510 - 151030

Error 13 38 V DC supply out of range

 Check the value with a voltmeter on the test point of the Power Supply Board and
replace it if the value is not in the range 34 to 42 V.
 Conversely, if the electrical value is in the range, with the service function “Voltages
Test” verify the abnormal readout of the Control Unit: replace it in case.
 Check also the integrity of the connecting cables.
replace it if the value is out of the range 23 to 25 V.
replace it if the value is out of the range 14.5 to 15.5 V.
 Check the value with a voltmeter on the test point of the Power Switching Unit and
replace it if the value is out of the range 4.75 to 5.25 V.
Error 17 High voltage failure
 The inverter current or tube voltage are increasing abnormally.
 Failure on the Power Switching Unit or in the Tube Head itself is possible.
 Replace the Power Switching Unit first and the tube-head in case.
Error 19 Exposure time exceeded
 Possible malfunction of the Control Unit. Replace it.
Error 20 Exposure aborted after irradiation
 Error due to interruption during movement after irradiation. Re-take is not needed,
unless in the case of quitting in the middle of a TMJ procedure.
 If error appeared without request by the operator check the cable of the hand-
switch, its connector or the Control Unit.
Error 21 No tube current
 No or low anode current due to:
 Interruption of High Voltage power supply (Power Switching Unit)
 Interruption of Filament power supply (Power Switching Unit)
 Interruption of the regulation circuits (Power Switching Unit)
 Fault in the Tube-Head (input transformer or multiplying circuits).
 Check switch SA 301 (must be ON) and fuses FU 304 and FU 305 in the Power
Supply Unit
 If no defect is found, enter Service Function X-ray test /Continued, switch exposure
and check the HV inverter supplying voltage (between points VS and V- in the Power
Switching Unit) to be in range from 50 to 100 volts DC.
 If all is correct, the circuit between the secondary of High Voltage transformer and
the X-ray tube is broken.
69 682 91510 - 151030 33/40

 Depending on the location of the fault, replace the Power Switching Unit, the
connecting cables or the Tube-Head.
 This error can be also activated by sparking in the X-ray tube, when a very short
over-current signal switches off the High Voltage regulator, but is not trapped by the
Control Unit in order to activate error 17. In this case try to perform X-ray tube
seasoning (de-gassing with a number of exposures at low kV) or replace the Tube-
Head.
Error 23 Filament current out of range
 The filament current is exceeding the permitted range.
 Power Switching Unit to be replaced first and Control Unit in case.
Error 25 Thermal sensor failure
 The thermal sensor is broken or disconnected. Verify continuity and presence of
thermal sensor jumper on the control unit board.
 In case of failure of the thermal sensor inside the tube-head:
 Replace the Tube-Head.
 Alternatively through the Service Function “Thermal Settings” disable the
functionality for minimization of waiting time for cool down and control loading
manually using the cooling curves.
Error 32 Control unit fault
 Replace the Control Unit
Mains Fuse Blown Mains Fuse Blows at X-ray ON
 Check resistors R321, R322, R323, R324, R325 in the Power Supply Unit. The
