Operating Warnings and Precautions
CLASS 1 LASER EQUIPMENT
DANGER: Any failure to follow the recommendations and instructions in this manual may
expose the user to laser radiation exceeding the class 1 specifications.
CAUTION:
• Do not move or knock the scanner when it is scanning.
• The use of control or adjustment or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure.
• This scanner must only be used to read image plates and must not be used for any
other purpose. Only use the imaging plates and protective covers that are supplied by
scanner unit manufacturer. NEVER use imaging plates or protective covers from other
manufacturers with the scanner
• This scanner, or its accessories, must not be modified, altered or remanufactured in any
way.
• Only the manufacturer’s authorized service personnel are authorized to carry out annual
maintenance and repair. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
• This device can interfere with other devices due to its EMC characteristics.
• Other devices can interfere with this device due to their EMC characteristics.
• This device complies with IEC 60601-1 standard. Accessory equipment connected to
this device must be in compliance with the related nationally harmonized IEC standards.
• Equipment not suitable for use in the presence of flammable anesthetic mixture with air
or with oxygen or nitrous oxide.
• Only use the power supply unit that is supplied with the scanner. Do not use any other
power supply units with the scanner.
Servicing Precautions
Laser Radiation
There is a class 3B laser inside the scanner. The laser can be activated if the safety switch is
defeated and the laser is switched on from the service terminal. Avoid direct exposure to the
beam or its’ reflections (for instance from shiny tools etc).
High Voltage
There is a high voltage circuit between the photo multiplier tube and amplifier card. High voltage
can be set on when the safety switch is defeated.
Light Sensitivity of Photo Multiplier Tube
The tube is very sensitive to light when it is active. Tube is activated when the high voltage is
turned on and safety switch defeated. The tube is used to measure extremely small amounts of
light and normal room light and brighter light sources damage HV-activated tube.

Installing and Setting-up the s2terminal
Recommended hardware at installation
• Laptop-computer with:
o Imaging application software installed
o All s2terminal related files (including s2terminal.exe and s2.dll) copied to folder
c:\s2terminal
o s2terminal communication and settings tested with scanner unit
• RJ45 UTP network cable, known as working
• Switch 10M / 100M / 1Gb/s, known as working (optional)
Pre-installation requirements
• scanner unit only works with the compatible imaging application software.
• You also have to install the necessary drivers during the installation of the imaging
application. Refer to the Application installation manual for more information.
• After successfully installing an imaging application you must get a suitable, unique IP
address for the scanner unit so that you can attach it to the network. You can usually
get one from your local network administrator. All that is basically required is that the
address is unique inside the given network.
• If several workstations are required to share the scanner unit (Express Share),
determine which workstations will be used with the scanner unit and the names that the
users wish to allocate to the workstations.
• You need administrator privileges to do both kinds of installations
• Please allow plenty of time to do Express Share installations, as they are more
complicated to do than normal installations.
• Make sure that the PC(s) and the scanner unit are connected correctly and then the
scanner unit on. Wait until the self-test procedure has finished (this takes ~25-60 s.) and
make sure that the unit indicates that the cables are connected correctly.
• It is recommended to use network cards (NIC) from the known manufacturer. Cheap,
generic cards may cause problems. Here is a quick short list on recommended NICmanufacturers:
o Intel (card or integrated onto motherboard), 3Com, Linksys, D-Link, Netgear…
EMI –interference, vibration and operation with UPS
• scanner unit is tested as required by the medical device standards. However this testing
does not guarantee that the device is totally immune to all possible interferences.
• The heavy levels of EMI will disturb the imaging chain and so the scanner may reject the
calibration during the power-up or show as interference on the image.
• If the interference is temporarily happening during normal image readout, the 'Degraded
Image Quality' -messages may appear.
• In addition to EMI also pure mechanical vibrations (even with small amplitudes) will
cause the same effect if the vibration frequency is in the certain range.
• One practical example of vibration origin is if you have a computer reading CDROM
(possibly a bit out of balance) next to scanner unit.
If you are operating scanner unit connected to the UPS (Uninterruptible Power System)
• Check any recommendations for the placement etc. The UPS may also generate
mechanical vibrations at the frequency the scanner unit is sensitive to so try to locate
the UPS on the floor for example

Unit statuses and modes
Start-up sequence
1. Unit is powered on when power ON / OFF key is pressed
2. INITIALIZATION & SELF TEST SEQUENCE is indicated by animation ran while
performing following checks:
• Calculate the CRC
• Drive the plate carrier home (to reset the location counter)
• Wait the mirror scanner stabilizing (uses laser; close the safety switch after lamp
test to proceed without error if the cover is open)
• Drive the plate carrier to loading position
NOTE: if the light protection covers surrounding scanner module is removed (or safety
switch defective / cable disconnected). Unit goes into error state after erase lamp test and
self test sequence is halted (recovering from this needs restart of the unit)
However you are able to proceed with the start up sequence if safety switch is closed
manually AFTER the erasing lamp has been ON shortly during the startup sequence
NOTE! If the safety switch is pressed before the erasing lamp test
–the PMT may be damaged!!!!!
3. CHECK ANIMATIONS & ERROR CODE displayed if everything NOT OK
4. READY for operation (if connection to the application SW is OK)
Standby -mode
• Goes to standby –mode if not operated for a determined period of time:
o Factory set default can be changed by commanding <idle XXX>
XXX=time in seconds
o Unit wakes up from the standby mode by activation of the proximity sensor or by
pressing the start key
Powering “OFF” the unit
• Ready state:
o Power ON / OFF key pressed shortly >> BEEPS, but does not power off the unit
o Power ON / OFF key pressed more than one second >> powers off the unit
• Standby mode:
o Pressing of power ON / OFF key turn off the unit
Automatic shutdown
• Unit is powered off automatically if the unit stays in the standby mode for a longer period
of time than set in the <off> parameter:.
o Factory set default can be changed by commanding <off XXX>
XXX=time in minutes
Image read, but the connection lost during the read out of the imaging plate (application
etc.)
• Scanner unit display shows “check application animation” indicating that there is image
in the memory which is not transferred to the driver
204724 rev5Instrumentarium Dental 17
• Drives the carrier in
• Will not shutdown automatically
• Does not allow switching off the power (continuously beep when pressed) until the
image is transferred.

Service Terminal
Service terminal is not an end user interface and training to use it in advance is
mandatory to prevent the changing of unit configuration (=resulting the unit to become
inoperative) accidentally.
Be very careful not to use service commands without the necessary know-how. Gain knowledge
by going through all useful commands and train their usage in practice with scanner unit.
All service terminal commands and functions are not explained in this manual. They are
instructed in the scanner firmware help (which is accessible through service terminal).
This arrangement is to keep the documentation up to date, since the service terminal
instructions for commands are always up to date in the scanner firmware.
Therefore this manual explains only the principles of the main commands.
More detailed instructions of Service Terminal commands can be found later in this document
and in their help outputs <h [command]>.
Accessing Service Terminal
• Service terminal commands are controlled either from imaging applications Service
Assistant or from s2terminal
NOTE: Only have either imaging application (Service Assistant) OR s2terminal
open at one time.
• Service commands are executed by scanner unit
Access service terminal Using s2terminal Program
• THIS IS THE RECOMMENDED WAY TO ACCESS SERVICE TERMINAL
o Firmware and core upgrade can only be performed with s2terminal
• s2terminal program is run from the command prompt of Windows.
• Application must be closed when accessing service terminal from s2terminal If
Application is opened at the same time, you will have a “login fail (no connection)” error
message on screen when trying to make the connection.
Note the difference of actual command prompt and the s2terminal program running in it:
• The input and output of the s2terminal and of the command prompt look similar.
• However, the functions and commands available in the command prompt are not
available in the s2terminal and vice versa.
• If you get confused it is good idea to check the title bar of the command prompt window
- it should read “s2terminal” when the s2terminal program is running.
- it reads “cmd.exe” when only Command Prompt is running
• Running the s2terminal program needs the following files:
• s2terminal.exe (Must be version dated 22/05/2009 or later)
• s2.dll (Must be version dated 21/05/2009 or later)
• W32N55.dll (Must be version dated 23/10/2007 or later)
• (s2terminal has to be version 3.2.127.0 or later)
1. Copy all these files to one same and dedicated service folder that you may need to
create (in following example “c:\s2terminal” folder is used to store s2terminal files)
• <cd s2terminal> (changes to directory “s2terminal”)
5. CHECK THAT Application IS NOT OPENED
6. Type <s2terminal> in the command prompt to see the instructions for the command
syntax. Then execute the program using the unit’s IP -address.
7. Type <s2terminal 192.168.2.11>:
• Starts the Service Terminal for unit having ip 192.168.2.11
Or
Type <s2terminal 192.168.2.11 –c>:
• Starts the service terminal and configures ip –address to scanner unit 192.168.2.11
NOTE: Keep start button pressed when entering <s2terminal 192.168.2.11 –c>:
8. If the IP-address is correct and the s2terminal program is able to connect to the unit, it
prints out terminal output of the login command, which displays “s2terminal, the unit’s
firmware version(s), serial number and some parameters”. Otherwise it displays an error
message(s).
NOTE: It is normal that you may have few times “login fail (no connection)” –error
also in normal functioning connection
9. Quit s2terminal program by <xq>
Access service terminal with Service assistant –utility from the imaging application
• THIS IS THE ALTERNATIVE WAY (backup) TO ACCESS SERVICE TERMINAL
o Use when imaging application –connection available
o Firmware download CAN NOT be performed from Service Assistant
