2.1.1. Wireless Sensor
The Wireless Sensor provides FM digital data to the Antenna / Receiver over the 2.4 GHz
frequency band. Three, user-selectable channels are available to minimize interference in
practices where multiple Wireless Sensors are in use.
Power for the Wireless Sensor is provided by a water resistant, non-rechargeable battery
package located on the back (non-active pixel area) of the Sensor. Battery status is
displayed on the Sensor using a single window, dual LED display. (For more information
about the Wireless Sensor LEDs and their indications, refer to Error! Reference source
not found..) Battery level information is also available in the Wireless Monitor dialog box
(
Figure 6
), where RF channel, signal strength, and Sensor information can be found.
PLEASE NOTE: When detached from the Sensor, place the battery pack on its back
with the terminals facing upwards. Ensure that no conductive object contacts the battery
terminals to eliminate accidental discharge.
The Sensor ON / OFF switch is part of the battery package. Turn the Sensor on and off
by pressing lightly on the button shown below. The Wireless Sensor must be turned ON
to capture X-ray images. The Sensor will turn itself OFF automatically if no X-ray
exposures are detected for approximately 15 minutes.
For steps on attaching the battery pack to the Sensor, refer to Error! Reference source not
found..
