TNT 12000
X-Ray Test Device
Quick Reference Guide
Introduction
The TNT 12000 is designed for fast setup and use to enhance
productivity and reduce errors particularly during repetitive x-ray system
output measurement and analysis routines.
The TNT 12000 system consists of a wireless detector and companion
hand-held display. All measured values are displayed immediately
following a single exposure.

The TNT 12000WD system consists of a wireless detector and uses a
laptop computer as a display (computer not included).
Both the TNT 12000 and the TNT 12000WD use a wireless ZigBee™
communication protocol to communicate between detector and display or
laptop.
The TNT 12000 single array of solid-state sensors measure kV, Dose,
Dose Rate, Half Value Layer (HVL) and exposure time over the entire
diagnostic x-ray radiographic, fluoroscopic, mammographic and dental
ranges.
All measured values are displayed after each exposure so it is not
necessary to make a value preference selection prior to each exposure.
This functionality eliminates a typical step in the measurement routine.
Measured values can be recorded for archive and further analysis using
the TNT 12000 Excel Add-in Software (provided).
TNT 12000 Ansur Test Automation Software is also available (option) to
permit automated test routines that can assure the continuity and
accuracy of results.
Measurement
Making a measurement is simple. After removing the unit from the
carrying case, separate the detector and display from their clamshell
storage position.
Step one:
Turn on both the detector and display. The display will scan for the
companion detector and establish a wireless connection.

Step two:
Once connection is made, the waiting for exposure screen is displayed.
Place the detector in the beam measurement position and make an
exposure. All measured values will be displayed.

Note
If the measurement to be made is the same as during last use,
radiographic (Radio) for example, the unit is automatically set
when power is turned on as the TNT 12000 always defaults to
the last use. If a different x-ray system operating mode,
(Mammo) for example, is to be measured, using the directional
keys highlight the current mode (Radio) and depress the enter
key. The mode selection screen will be displayed. Toggle to
highlight the desired mode (Mammo) and depress the enter
key. Follow step two above.

This quick start guide is intended to illustrate the simplicity of operation of
the TNT 12000 and to introduce the user to the basic functionality of the
system. It is recommended that the user carefully review the user manual
(CD) to learn about all of the comprehensive features of the TNT 12000.
There you will also find the TNT 12000 Excel Add-in Software operator
instructions and many other useful sources of information about your new
TNT 12000.
