IMPORTANT NOTICE: It is essential that this housing assembly be installed only with beam limiting devices listed in Table 3-1
whenever the housing is used on certified equipment purchased and installed after August 1, 1974.
The housing mounting face and collimator must fit together with no space between the mating surfaces. Lead lining may be required.
See Table 3-2 for specific compatible combinations of adapter plates and beam limiting devices or consult Varian or the equipment
manufacturer.
When operated above 50 kV, a minimum of 2.0 mm aluminum equivalent additional filtration is required. The beam limiting
devices in Table 3-1 meet these requirements.
Equipment must be installed to indicate when the X-ray field is perpendicular to the image receptor and indicate the SID. Consult the
equipment manufacturer if any doubt exists.
