35080M
Operators Manual
2-4
In positioning the kVp divider, the long axis of the instrument should be perpendicular to the X-ray tube
axis to eliminate “heel effect.” The beam must strike the filter pack side of the kVp divider; the unit is
designed to be turned over for under-table X-ray heads. In setting the X-ray generator, 200 mA at 22
inches is recommended, but the limits of operation allow higher or lower settings and distances. Refer to
Section 1-4, Specifications, for low current limits.
After correctly positioning the kVp Divider, connect the oscilloscope, place the kVp Divider in the “RUN”
mode and make an exposure.
