EMC environment of use

The RF portable and mobile communications units should not be used closer to any part of the Ow-RX, including cables, than the recommended separation distance calculated from the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter. Recommended separation distance: Radiated RF IEC 61000-4-3 3 V/m from 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz 3 V/m d = 1.2 x √ P from 80 MHz to 800 MHz d = 2.3 x √ P from 800 MHz to 2.5 GHz Conducted RF IEC 61000-4-6 3 V from 150 kHz to 80 MHz 3 V d = 1.2 x √ P where "P" is the maximum rated output of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer and "d" is the recommended separation distance in meters (m). The field strength of the fixed RF transmitters, determined by an on-site electromagnetic survey, should be lower than the compliance level in each frequency range. Interference may be verified near devices marked with the following symbol:

Recommended separation distances to portable and mobile

radio equipment Ow-RX is designed to operate in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or user of the system can help prevent electromagnetic interference by ensuring a minimum distance between mobile and portable RF communication devices (transmitters) and Ow-RX as recommended in the following table in relation to the maximum output power of the radio devices. Separation distance according to the frequency of the transmitter (m) Maximum rated output power of the transmitter (W) from 150kHz to 80MHz d = 1.2 x √ P from 80MHz to 800MHz d = 1.2 x √ P from 800MHz to 2.5GHz d = 2.3 x √ P 0.01 0.12 0.12 0.23 0.1 0.38 0.38 0.73 1 1.2 1.2 2.3 10 3.8 3.8 7.3 100 12 12 23 For transmitters maximum rated output not shown in the table, the recommended separation distance "d" in meters (m), can be calculated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where "P" is the highest rated output of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the manufacturer of the transmitter. Note 1: at 80 MHz and 800 MHz, apply the separation distance for the higher frequency interval. Note 2: these guidelines may not apply to all situations. Electromagnetic propagation depends on the absorption and reflection of structures, objects and people.

Protection from X-rays

Although the dose supplied by modern X-ray units is quite low, the operator must adopt the precautions and/or suitable protection for the patient and himself according to current regulations, during the execution of radiography. WARNING: Protection against radiation is regulated according to law. The equipment may only be used by specialised personnel. a) The film (or the digital sensor) must be placed in the patient's mouth either manually or using the specific supports, and must be held in position by the patient if necessary. b) During exposure to the rays, the operator must not be in contact with the tube-head or the collimator cone. c) During exposure, the operator must maintain a certain distance from the source of the rays (at least 2 metres) in the opposite direction of the emission. d) During exposure, only the operator and the patient may be present in the room. e) Use the specific leaded aprons to reduce the undesired effect of secondary radiations for the patient. 2.3 Environmental risks and disposal Some of the device's components contain material and liquids that, at the end of the equipment life-cycle, must be disposed of at the recycling centres appointed by the local health units. In particular, the device contains the following materials and/or components: • Tube-head: non biodegradable plastic materials, glass, dielectric oil, lead, tungsten, aluminium, copper. • Other parts of the device: non biodegradable plastic materials, metal materials, printed circuits, iron-plastic materials.

Functions, Models and Versions

The Ow-RX intra-oral X-ray unit makes it possible to obtain consistently high quality X-rays thanks to the reproducibility of the unit parameters with very short exposure times and a very small focus spot. The Ow-RX intra-oral X-ray unit is compatible for being combined with digital image acquisition systems, thereby obtaining the maximum benefits of today's digital intra-oral radiologic technology. If you do not currently have a digital system, the use of high-speed film or film in the EKTRASPEED (Kodak) category is recommended in order to limit the dose absorbed by the patient. A button on the control keypad is used to select the operating mode and it is possible to select films with different speeds (sensitivity), the phosphor sensor, the digital sensor or a customised user mode "Custom mode". The Ow-RX X-ray unit has an LCD display with dimensions of 84mm x 45mm (240x128 pixel) which makes it easier for the operator to perform all operations, guaranteeing the immediate and complete display of the exposure parameters. The Ow-RX system can use the optional 30 cm collimator cone (to be ordered separately with code 6159400002). The "long cone inserted" selection is signalled by the specific symbol on the display. In this configuration, the exposure times that were pre-set in the anatomic selection are automatically increased by a multiplicative factor of 2. The Ow-RX system includes the following: generator, tube-head complete with collimator, CPU (or logic) card that controls the system functions, keypad, extension arm and scissors arm. WARNING: The Ow-RX system does not automatically detect the presence of a cone or other item: the operator is responsible for checking the congruity between the indication on the display and the actual situation of use.

High Frequency (HF) Generator

The remote controlled HF generator, together with the tube-head, uses state-of-the-art microelectronic technology to obtain optimal quality X-rays while reducing the patient dose of rays. Conventional systems generally use the intrinsic capacity of the RX generator tube to conduct the electric current in one direction only. This generates a "train" of RX impulses. The Ow-RX unit instead uses constant-voltage technology that generates continuous and stable emission of X-rays. This reduces the emission of soft rays, guaranteeing the constancy of the emission parameters, kVp and mA. The microprocessor-based control ensures constant and repeatable exposure times; by simply pressing a button it is possible to automatically select the exposure times based on the size of the patient and the selected tooth. 3.2.2 Extension arm and scissors arm This consists of an arm with a double joint, which permits horizontal and upward extension. The tube-head remains balanced in all positions. NOTE: The scissors arm was designed to work correctly with a maximum opening angle of 160°; therefore, an opening angle of less than 160° is required for its use. A horizontal extension arm can also be added, which is available in different sizes (30 / 60 / 80 cm) to satisfy all requirements. 

The tube-head makes it possible to select one of three different high

voltage values: 60 / 65 / 70 kVp. The radiogenic unit is equipped with a collimator with a focus skin distance of 20 cm and a ray emission diameter of 6 cm at the cone exit. The tube-head is connected to the arm by a guide, which permits 390° horizontal rotation and 290° vertical rotation. 3.2.4 Timer The timer consists of an LCD display (240x128 pixel), two LEDs (yellow: X-rays in progress– green: ready for X-rays) and 5 buttons that are used to select from among 3 different patient sizes, 3 types of sensors (film, phosphor or digital) and 7 different pre-set anatomical structures (incisor, canine, premolar, lower molar, upper molar, front bite-wing and rear bite-wing). There are 36 fixed times available for manual selection which vary from a minimum of 0.01 seconds up to a maximum of 2 seconds. The timing is managed in order to guarantee exact precision of the exposure times. NOTE: The configuration can be set using the remote X-ray control outside the examination room. This consists of a wall support onto which the X-ray button is connected with an extendable cable. NOTE: The unit provides two separate contacts for the possible connection with external signalling devices. One contact signals the status of the unit as operative and ready to be used, the second emits the X-rays. The connection methods and the requirements necessary for the signalling devices are described in the "Service Manual".

Method for measuring technical factors

The measuring method with non-invasive instruments, for example kVp/t meter, is accepted, even if it generally provides less accuracy. In fact, the measurement of the high voltage at the tube with non-invasive instruments is closely correlated to the method selected by the instrument manufacturer; in general, this method is more inaccurate than the direct method and may also require two subsequent exposures. In the same way, the method of measuring the anodic current with the indirect method is affected by systematic errors, as they are often based on the measurement of the current/time product, dividing the measurement by the time measured with the said method. • High voltage value at the tube (kVp) The kVp value is defined as the stationary value of the high voltage applied at the tube that is stabilised under load after the pre-heating time. Measure the value of the kVp with a non-invasive instrument (with 2% accuracy), setting the exposure time to 1 second. • Measuring the exposure time The exposure time must be measured using a non-invasive instrument. In compliance with standard IEC 60601-2-7, the exposure time is measured as the interval of time between the moment in which the high voltage has reached for the first time a value equal to 75% of the peak value and the moment in which it goes down below this value.

Ow-RX does not ask for special pre-installation works, still it is necessary

to grant an adequate grounding for EMC compatibility and safety. Section of grounding cable must be at least equal of greater than the section of line cables. It is advisable to use a grounding cable with section 2.5mm². If cables are going to be positioned inside the wall, it is better that ducts are already positioned, taking into account where the device will be installed, taking care that cables exit in correspondence of the hole on the lower side of the wall plate. The Manufacturer can assist technically in the pre-installation phase, but preparation works are a customer’s responsibility. 5.1 Mounting methods NOTE: This chapter is valid for Wall version. The user does not need to assess the consistency of the wall for Stand version. The installer is responsible for assessing the consistency of the wall. The extraction load on each screw is 446 N (46 kg) for the wall version standard assembly (3 mounting screws), 634 N (65 kg) for the wall version "single stud" assembly (5 mounting screws). For each type of wall use the appropriate mounting method complying with the following specifications which guarantee a safety factor 4: • Wooden uprights: self-threading screws 8x70 A 4.8 (provided with the installation kit) • Full or concrete bricks: screw anchors (provided with the installation kit) in cast iron M8 or chemical screws WURTH (not provided) • Hollow bricks: chemical screws (not provided). A counter-plate must be used with walls with a lower resistance. WARNING: The Manufacturer is not responsible for any installations that do not comply with the specifications stated above. 

• Single-phase supply + ground

110-240 V∼ ±10% • Frequency 50 – 60 Hz • Max absorbed current during emission 5.2 A rms impulsive @ 115 V∼ 2.5 A rms impulsive @ 230 V∼ • Apparent line resistance 0.4 Ω @ 99-132 V∼ 0.8 Ω @ 198-264 V∼. NOTE: The device is intended for permanent installation. It is forbidden to connect the system by a plug in a wall socket for safety reasons. Mobile version has to be requested on order and it is not possible to transform wall mounted version into a mobile version in field. NOTE: A circuit breaker with overcurrent protection must be connected to the intraoral X-ray equipment with the following features: – Nominal current: 10A – Differential sensitivity: 0.03A. Section of line cables must be not lower than 1.5 mm². Grounding of the system must meet requirement of the laws; a bad grounding can be dangerous for the operator and can generate malfunctioning of the device. NOTE: The mobile stand is supplied without the mains plug to permit the free connection at every socket. Is in charge to the installer supply a mains plug compatible with the local electrical network with follow features: connection 2P+Earth protection, minimum working voltage compliant with the power supply in use, minimum rated current 10A. Then install the mains plug on the cable by connecting the Y/G wire in the earth protection connector and the others conductors in the others free connectors. The mains plug must be in compliance with the laws and directive in force of the Country of use and report at least one quality/safety mark released by a recognized Notified Body. NOTE: Ow-RX can be connected to signaling devices outside the installation room; please make reference to chapter 6.4.1. It is also possible to mount the system with remote keyboard: in this case it is necessary to use a RJ45 cable provided by the Manufacturer.    

Ow-RX intraoral X-ray equipment is shipped pre-assembled in sub-assys.

Mechanical assembly work consists solely in assembling these units. All the mechanical components are therefore adjusted before delivery; not only is there no need to carry out any adjustment on these parts but it would also cause the equipment to malfunction; any adjustment must be carried out by authorised personnel only.

Position the base plate (4 - Figure 6-2) and fix it with the four screws (5 - Figure 6-2). If necessary, reposition the two base tubes (1 - Figure 6-2) slightly in order to align the relevant holes on the plate. 3. Lock the nut (3 - Figure 6-2) in order to block the base tubes (1 - Figure 6-2) permanently. 4. Assemble the stand column (6 - Figure 6-2) on the base plate (4 - Figure 6-2) with the four screws (7 - Figure 6-2). 1 2 4 5 6 7 3 Figure 6-2 5. Assemble the timer support plate (8 - Figure 6-3) to the stand column, fixing it with the two screws (9 - Figure 6-3) present on the stand column.

The timer must be fixed to the support plate after assembling the

scissors arm (see paragraph 6.3.3). 6. Remove the plastic timer cover (10 - Figure 6-3) by loosening the two sealing screws (12 - Figure 6-3) placed on the top. To make the operation easier, disconnect all cables connecting the timer and the plastic cover. 7. Fix the timer onto the support plate with the two screws (14 - Figure 6-3) taking care to thread the supply cable and the cables coming from the scissors arm inside the hollow one (15 - Figure 6-3). Check that the upper level is level using a bubble level. 10 8 15 12 9 9 14 14 Figure 6-3

Assembling the arms

6.3.1 Assembling the extension arm 1. Insert the extension arm into the arm support block which is an integral part of the wall support plate. NOTE: You must keep the arm orthogonal to the plate to be able to insert the shaft into the bush placed inside the support. 2. Assemble the extension arm frictioning mechanism block (1 – Figure 6-4); this frictioning mechanism (code 6159300100) is included in the mounting hardware packaging. 3. Assemble the arm rotation stop screw (2 - Figure 6-4) in the hole present on the shaft; this screw (code 2100014800) is included in the mounting hardware packaging. 4. Tighten the two lateral screws (3 - Figure 6-4 – one on each side) ensuring that they block the arm rotation without interfere with the extension arm pin. 

The purpose of the frictioning mechanism and the rotation stop pin is to

prevent the extension arm from becoming detached. 1 2 3 Spring washers sequence Figure 6-4 

Assembling the scissors arm (DP arm)

NOTE: To help assembly Ow-RX is shipped with the tubehead already mounted on the scissors arm; it is recommended to let the tape wrapping the arm in place. In case it is removed, besides making more difficult the assembly it is possible that the installer is hurt or the arm damaged. 1. Remove the friction group fixing plate fixed to the extension arm with three screws (scissor arm side). Take note that the upper screw is shorter than the other two and has to be mounted in the same position. Friction group Fixing plate Figure 6-5 2. Remove also the friction taking care not to loose the spring washer. Here following is indicated the right sequence of the washers. Spring washer sequence Figure 6-6 

3. Remove the fixing bushing. This operation will permit an easier

insertion of the scissor arm group into the extension arm. Figure 6-7 4. Insert the extension arm pin in the bushing; during insertion take care to the O-Rings present in the bushing. The friction group fixing holes must be toward tube head support. Figure 6-8

5. Insert the scissor arm into the extension arm, aligning the bushing

fixing holes to the extension arm screws. Power cable, signal cable and grounding cable must be let out freely from the extension arm. Figure 6-9 6. Mount the friction group and fix the plate using the shorter screw in the top hole (Figure 6-5). Tighten the grub screw until it is frictioned but don't force the friction. It has to be adjusted only if necessary. 7. Remove the safety clamp and completely open the scissors arm to locate the position where the cable is more recovered inside the arm itself.

The following operations must be done with the scissors arm completely

open. 8. Holding this position, gently pull the cables coming from the scissors arm down to avoid excess cable in the arms. Figure 6-10 9. Insert the cables inside the extension arm (power cable on one side and filament cable and the grounding cable on the other side) following the drawing in Figure 6-11 (fase 1); this will make sure that the cables are not tensioned during use. To make this easier, wrap together the grounding and filament cables with tape. 10. Run the cables inside the extension arm until they come completely out at the opposite end. 11. Insert the cables inside the rotation pin as shown in the following figure (fase 2 and 3). 1 2 3 Figure 6-11 

12. Push the cables inside the extension arm (scissors arm side), so that

no excess is left at the extremity. When doing this, firmly pull the cables on the other end of the extension arm (timer side). Front view Lateral view Figure 6-12 13. Make sure that cables don't push the end cap when opening and closing the scissors arm. Repeat this operation several times in all the arm positions. If necessary, repeat step 12 and carefully adjust the excess cable. 14. Check that the DP arm is perfectly inserted; check that the rotation of the scissors arm inside the extension arm is the one ergonomically requested by the operator, otherwise work on the frictioning mechanism (1 - Figure 7-2) until you get the requested run. NOTE: This frictioning mechanism is also used to prevent the scissors arm from becoming detached and for this reason it must never be loosened completely. 15. Check the ergonomics of the arm opening movement, otherwise adjust the tension of the arm balance springs (see paragraph 7.1.3). 16. Assemble the front covers of the extension arm included in the mounting hardware packaging. 

Assembling the stand arms set

1. Loose the two screws (1 - Figure 6-13) to allow the positioning of the scissors arm. 2. Assemble the scissors arm (there is no extension arm in this configuration), being careful to insert the spacer (2 - Figure 6-13) into the rotation pin. The spacer (code 6161305600) is included in the mounting hardware packaging. NOTE: Be sure that the two pins are inserted into the spacer as showed in the drawing. NOTE: Keep the arm perfectly orthogonal to the pole when inserting the extension arm rotation pin. Do not release the scissors arm from their sealing packing. 3. Secure the arm tighten the two screws (1). 2 1 Figure 6-13

Remote X-ray button

NOTE: Whatever remote X-ray button installation is implemented, the front panel of the timer must be visible from the remote button location to allow the user to see technical factors before starting an exposure. There are two possible alternative for remote X-ray button: 1. A door bell X-ray button (not provided) can be installed following the instruction here below. NOTE: The connecting cable between Timer and Remote X-ray button, passing into the wall or external, must always be put into a metal conduct to avoid any kind of disturbance to the signals passing through the cable. The cable can be a maximum of 15 meters long and consequently the distance between Timer and X-ray button must be shorter than this length. The connecting cable must have a 1mm2 minimum section and must be connected to the X6.1 and X6.2 connectors on the CPU board A2 (see chapter 12). The remote X-ray button can be connected in parallel to the standard X-ray button supplied with the timer, using the same connectors. Safety regulations stipulate that a button enabled by an appropriate safety key must be used. 2. The kit P/N 6659120000 provides a way to install remotely the X-ray button supplied with the timer. The kit includes a wall support plate with a terminal strip. NOTE: The connecting cable between Timer and remote X-ray button (not provided) must have a 1mm2 minimum section. The connecting cable must always be put inside a metal conduct to avoid any disturbance to the signals passing through the cable.   

Remove the X-ray button from the Timer disconnecting the cable

from X6.1 and X6.2 connectors. Assemble the button on the wall support plate connecting the cable on the terminal strip. The connecting cable between Timer and remote X-ray button must be connected to X6.1 and X6.2 connectors (Timer side) and to the terminal strip of the support plate. The support plate has to be fixed on the wall using the fisher type screws provided.

Press "Function" key and then confirm (Increase key) or cancel (decrease key) the new setting. Press and hold pressed the "Function" key to exit the setup program, the system will restart. P00: Stand-by timeout (min) This parameter indicates the time in minutes after that the system enter in "sleep" condition. With "Value = 0", the system is always in the "Ready for X-rays" conditions. The selectable value changes between 0 and 5 (default 2). NOTE: When Value = 0, the green "Ready for X-rays" LED is always ON. 

This is the value of parameter K (value selectable between 0 and 80)

which, multiplied by the current value of exposure time, calculates the value of the cool down time between consecutive exposures. COOL DOWN BETWEEN EXPOSURES = Exposure time x K Default value = 60 (sixty times the exposure time). WARNING: This parameter must not be changed from the factory configuration. Changing on this parameter may effect on the equipment life time. P02: Exposure Counter This parameter shows the number of the performed exposure. The counter can be reset to zero by pressing the "Size Selection" and "Tooth automatic selection" keys together; the operation requires confirmation, by pressing the "Increase" key. P03: Film sensitivity This parameter adapts the exposure times associated to Anatomic and Size selections to the film speed used by the user.

If no anomalies are found, start replacing boards in the following order: CPU, Driver board (including tubehead).

Error messages on the display

As described in chapter 3, the Ow-RX is totally controlled by a microprocessor which, not only checks the programming of exposure parameters but also signals the various machine statuses and any anomalies and errors, by messages in code on the display unit. The following tables contain the various messages which may appear on the display, their meanings, their cause and how to behave. NOTE: Error messages belong to three different groups, classified according to the seriousness of the anomalies found and their possible effect on the safety of the operators’ and/or the system. 

Fatal errors upon power-up and in the ready, idle and

cooling statuses These signals DO NOT allow any examination to be performed. Displayed message ANOMALY type Corrective actions E01 X-ray button pressed at start-up Switch the system off and on again; if the message is still present, replace the X-ray button. E02 A key pressed at start-up (different from X-ray button) The pressed button is identified by an hexadecimal code according to Table 1 Verify that the relevant button is not really pressed. Switch the system off and on again; if the message is still present, replace the CPU board. E03 More keys pressed at start- up The pressed button is identified by an hexadecimal code according to Verify that the relevant button is not really pressed. Switch the system off and on again; if the message is still present, replace the CPU board. E05 Unwanted X-ray emission Switch the system off and on again; if the message is still present, replace the tubehead and the Driver board. The main key codes used to identify the pressed button are listed in the following table: Code Description 0001 Function key (F) 0002 Increment key (+) 0004 Tooth key 0008 Decrement (-) key 0010 Size key Table 1 All other key codes identify a combination of two or more pressed buttons.

Fatal errors during X-ray emission

Possible anomalies during exposure always interrupt the exposure itself. Whether there is an acoustic signal or not depends on the time the fault occurred and on the success of the X-ray interruption procedure. Displayed message ANOMALY type Corrective actions E04 No emission (breakage in the filament circuit) Measure the impedance value between "+" and "-" of Driver board - connector X2 (HEATER); this value must be lower than 20 ohm. If the value is greater than 20 ohm, remove the tubehead plastic covers and measure the impedance value between J3.IN+ and J3.IN- of Filament Voltage Regulator board. If the value is still greater than 20 ohm, disconnect the cables J3.Fil+ and J3.Fil- from the Filament terminal strip and measure the impedance value between them. If the measured value is lower than 20 ohm, replace the DP arm, otherwise replace tubehead and Driver board. E06 Activation of the back-up timer Check integrity of the flat cable connecting the CPU to the Driver board. Switch the system off and on again; if the message is repeated after an exposure, replace the Driver board and the tubehead. E07 Protection intervention Switch the system off. Check the integrity of power cables between tubehead and timer and insulation between them and GND (no short circuit present). If cables are ok, switch the unit on; if the message is still present, replace the Driver board and the tubehead. WARNING: When an error signal appears and the buzzer sounds, always switch the system off. In any case when the back-up timer is triggered it always interrupts X-ray emission.
