2. December 2002 Endos DC has been designed from scratch. Every component of the system is completely new: –new generator –new tubehead –new arm –new timer Completely new

3. December 2002 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. New generator

4. December 2002 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 New generator

5. December 2002 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. New generator

6. December 2002 DLC = Dual Low Current It is possible to select two anodic current values: 4 or 5 mA. 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) DLC Technology

7. December 2002 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. December 2002 Compact design 0.7mm focal spot weight 4.5 kg new design accessories: –30cm cone –35x45mm collimator New Tubehead

9. December 2002 New arm

10. December 2002 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) New timer

11. December 2002 New timer 30cm cone indication X-ray pushbutton Receptor selection Anatomic tooth selection Patient size selection Anodic current 4/5mA indication X-ray on indication “Ready” indication Manual time selection

12. December 2002 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. December 2002 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 Remote timer

14. December 2002 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 Remote Timer

15. December 2002 Endos DC incorporates a RS232 serial interface which will allow in the future to communicate with external devices and perform service functions Connectivity

16. December 2002 Mounting options: –standard wall mount with 30, 60, 80cm extension arms –wall mount with remote timer keyboard –Mobile Configurations 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. December 2002 Average installation time: 4 hours, 1 technician Tubehead replacement: 1 hour, one technician Minimum adjustments required Service
