This chapter includes the following topics:
Electrical Safety on page 21 Environment on page 22 Understanding the Sensor on page 24 Maintaining the Sensor on page 211
Electrical Safety
After you install the system, make sure it does not represent any hazards to the patient or operator. Follow these guidelines:
The computer with which our imaging system is installed, and all other equipment connected, must bear the CE marking (IEC 60950). If this is not the case, connect non-compliant equipment to an isolating transformer (IEC 60989 - withstand 1500 V), which is securely mounted. Connect the transformer to equipment so that a tool is required to separate the equipment. Check the documentation for the equipment associated to the sensor, to ensure there are no operating limitations that could impact the safety of the operators.
21
Environment
Place the computer and all associated equipment, including the hub supplied with the kit outside the patient's environment, more than 1.50 meters from the chair. Make sure you cannot access the patient and such devices at the same time. Place only the sensor and its remote control in the patient's environment. Do not place any devices connected the system with a multiple socket extension, the multiple socket extension on the floor. Connect only sensor components to the extension. It should not be possible to separate these components from the multiple socket extension without a tool. Otherwise, the multiple socket extension must be connected to an isolating transformer (IEC 60989 - withstand 1500 V). The multiple socket extension must be rated for a power level of at least 2200 VA.
Environment
For the auxiliary equipment, refer to the respective installation and user manuals.
Provide sufficient space around the computer and video-screen to provide adequate ventilation. To obtain the best quality image and the highest level of visual comfort, position the screen to avoid direct light reflections from interior or exterior light.

Getting Started
Remote Control
The remote control contains all the electronics of the sensor. The button on the remote control activates, at a distance, the acquisition in the Kodak dental imaging software. Connect the remote control to the computer with the USB 2 connector. You can connect the remote control with the power on, when the computer is switched on.
Caution!
Refer to the user guide for the precautions to take when connecting and disconnecting the sensor.
You do not need to start the Kodak dental imaging software before you connect the sensor. However, you can acquire the image only in the imaging module. You can disconnect the remote control with the power on, but do not disconnect the remote control when you are acquiring an image. This can damage the sensor.

Monitor Quality
The screen affects the perceived quality of the images acquired with your sensor. If the screen is set up badly or is inherently of a bad quality, chances are that the gray levels necessary for the interpretation of images cannot be displayed in a satisfactory manner. Keep in mind that an entry-level screen can seem excellent color-wise and present serious shortcomings with regards to the gray levels. A monitor with a 17-inch screen works best for displaying images and using a word processor. Preferably, select a monitor with optimal dot size, or pitch, and a contrast of 400 to 1 minimum. Flat-panel displays are most sensible to variations and it is necessary to select at least a mid-range screen to obtain a quality suitable for radiology.

Figure 23
Displayed from right to left are resolutions of 3, 6, 12 and 25 lp/mm. The grids are displayed horizontally, then vertically. Black and white is high contrast and gray is low contrast. Make sure you can clearly distinguish all of the lines in maximum display mode in the Kodak dental imaging software. If the cells containing the thinnest lines seem to shimmer or show irregularities, this means the screen is unable to provide a full resolution display of the image.
29
Gray Scales
The gray scales give an indication of the perceptibility of the gray levels on the screen. The gray level scale is shown in Figure 24.
Series no. 1, on a black background Series no. 2, a gray background Series no. 3, a white background
Good perceptibility
Poor perceptibility
Figure 24
Make sure you can see the square in each cell. The more squares are visible towards the right, for each of the three series, the better the screen. The background color is constant for each of the series. On the other hand, as you move from left to right, the difference between the background of the cell and the central square decreases. Use this tool to obtain the optimum contrast, brightness and color temperature, if available. Not all screens display the squares on the right side, but a good adjustment can optimize perceptibility. Adjust the screen so that your perception of the gray levels is offset as far as possible to the right, while ensuring that it progresses together on the three series. For example, do not settle for an adjustment showing all the squares of series no. 3 on the white background, and none or few of the squares of series no. 1.
210
Getting Started
If you can distinguish several vertical bands or if the test pattern is displayed with a green tint, this means the following:
The color adjustment is not defined for 24 or 32 bits The graphics board is a poor quality board The screen is a poor quality screen. This is often the case with flat panel displays. The cable between the computer and the screen is too long or of poor quality The flat panel display is not connected to the computer using a digital connection (DVI)

Using the USB 2 hub supplied with the kit, connect the sensor to a USB 2 port of the computer. Make sure that the USB connector supports the USB 2.0 high speed standard and that each USB port supplies 500 mA, otherwise you cannot operate the sensor. The 5-meter cable supplied with the hub permits a greater distance between the computer and the chair. If the computer is close to the operating area, you can connect the sensor without going through the USB hub supplied with the sensor. If no hub is used, make sure the maximum distance between the remote control and the computer is more than 5 meters. In any case, respect the security guideline and maintain 1.5 meters between the patient and the computer. If your computer does not have USB 2.0 ports use a PCI card or a PCMCIA card. Use boards from renowned manufacturers whose specifications comply with the requirements mentioned above. Use PCMCIA cards with an external power supply. If the USB 2.0 port does not supply enough power, use a powered hub between the computer port and the sensor. Contact your IT vendor for more information.
Important
Do not use the USB connectors available on the keyboard or front side of the computer, as these connectors are often unable to supply sufficient power for the proper functioning of the sensor.
