Advanced Endos DC: Innovative Design for Efficient and Precise Imaging

2. Completely new • Endos DC has been designed from scratch. • Every component of the system is completely new: • new generator • new tubehead • new arm • new timer

3. New generator • High frequency, constant potential technology with ripple lower than 2%. • Inverter operating at 100kHz frequency. This value is at the highest levels in the market. • The two features above help in giving the maximum energy efficiency ant to keep the patient dose as small as possible.

4. New generator • Duty cycle 1:15, adaptive.After a 200ms exposure, you just have to wait 3.2 seconds for the next exposure. The adaptive duty cycle, automatically sets the waiting time according to loading conditions. • Exposure parameters: 65kV, 4/5 mA with DLC technology

5. New generator • The choice of a single high voltage (65kV) optimizes the range of visible gray levels by operating in the optimal dynamic range of digital detectors and films • This value gives the best representation of all the interesting anatomic structures.

6. DLC Technology • DLC = Dual Low Current • It is possible to select two anodic current values: 4 or 5mA. • The two mA values and the 65kV high voltage have been studied to give the best results with digital sensors and high speed films • Those values allow to operate with highly stable and repeatable times (not too short, thus unstable; not too long, thus subject to patient movement)

7. Energetic efficiency • Endos DC has been designed to make the best use of the electric energy taken from the mains • Endos DC is already compliant to the forthcoming IEC standards on the reduction of the mains harmonics which will be in force starting from 2004

8. New Tubehead • Compact design • 0.7mm focal spot • weight 4.5 kg • new design • accessories: • 30cm cone • 35x45mm collimator

9. New arm

10. New timer • Selection of 4 receptors: • Standard film (5mA) • High speed film (5mA) • Digital (4mA) • Programmable (4 or 5mA) • The selection of the receptor optimizes: • Current (4 or 5 mA) • Exposure times (depending also on the selected tooth)

11. New timer Anodic current 4/5mA indication 30cm cone indication X-ray on indication Manual time selection “Ready” indication Patient size selection Anatomic tooth selection X-ray pushbutton Receptor selection

12. New timer • A control on the keyboard, with a signal lamp, can be used to automatically increase the exposure times when the 30cm extension cone is in use • Display brightness adjustment • Automatic compensation of mains fluctuations • Exposure times from 0.01 to 2 s

13. Remote timer • Gives complete control over the system from outside the examination room. • The same keyboard installed on the local timer can be removed and installed outside the room by means of a simple adapter kit

14. Remote Timer • Connection is made with a simple telephone-type connector • It’s possible to convert a local system into a remote system at any time by using an adaptation kit

15. Connectivity • Endos DC incorporates a RS232 serial interface which will allow in the future to communicate with external devices and perform service functions

16. Configurations • Mounting options: • standard wall mount with 30, 60, 80cm extension arms • wall mount with remote timer keyboard • Mobile Wall mounted units can be installed using two (single stud) or three fixation holes. Two holes out of three are compatible with Explor-X 70 holes.

17. Service Average installation time: 4 hours, 1 technician Tubehead replacement: 1 hour, one technician Minimum adjustments required
