4 DENS-O-MAT Timer
Dens-O-Mat ® is a microprocessor-controlled dental timer, featuring object-oriented
operation.
If the relevant option has been installed, two tubeheads can be connected to Dens-O-Mat.
Selection of the tubehead to be controlled and operated is done via keys
1 and
2, and the
relevant lamp lights on. At power on, tubehead
1 is selected by default.
Tubehead selection is only possible if DENS-O-MAT automatically detects the relevant connection.
All DENS-O-MAT functions are independent and separate for either tubehead, e.g. the
programmable modalities described further on (film speed adjustment, time scale
customisation, digital sensor mode), or the tubehead overheating control.
In object-oriented operation, the exposure time is automatically set in accordance with the
selected technique, that is the choice of object (tooth) and patient size done at the keyboard
panel, and depending upon the pre-set film speed and other eventual customisations. This is
called "Pre-Programmed Mode".
The operator can manually alter (increase or decrease) the set exposure time, by means of
keys s+ and s-, thus entering a so-called "Manual Mode".
In Pre-Programmed Mode, the exposure time is automatically corrected in order to
compensate for mains voltage fluctuations, and to impart an exposure dose consistent for the
selected technique. The actual exposure time is shown on the display.
