Battery Installation and Setup
3.1 Installing/Replacing the Battery
Use the following procedure to install/replace the 9 V Alkaline (P/N 16-29) battery used to power the kVp
meter:
1. Be sure the power switch located on the front panel is in the OFF position.
2. Open the battery cover door, located on the rear panel, by pulling on the access tab until it opens.
3. If applicable, remove the used battery. Connect the new battery to the terminal connector following
standard polarity conventions.
4. Place the battery into the battery compartment.
5. Close the battery compartment door.
3.2 Setting the Phase Switch (Rear Panel)
The Phase Switch position is determined by the type of x-ray machine to be tested as follows:
• The single-phase (1) position should be selected for testing single-phase x-ray machines.
• The three-phase (3) position should be selected for testing three phase x-ray machines.
3.3 Detector Positioning
The kVp meter should be positioned so that the red detector area on the top panel of the unit is centered
in the x-ray beam. The x-ray beam should cover at least the red portion of the case top to assure an
accurate measurement. Placement of the kVp meter relative to the x-ray tube is shown in Figure 3-1.
