Installation and Setup
3.1 Installing/Replacing the Battery
Use the following procedure to install/replace the 9 V Alkaline battery used to power the kVp meter:
1. Be sure the power switch located on the front panel is in the OFF position.
2. Remove the battery cover, located on the rear panel, by pulling on the black access tab until the
protective metal plate pops out.
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 housing so that the protective metal plate lies flat against the rear panel of
the unit when placed over the battery.
5. Secure protective metal plate into place by pressing firmly on the black tab until it locks.
3.2 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.
