Operating Instructions
VetPro® DC
Attention:
The equipment must only be installed and operated in accordance with the safety procedures and
operating instructions given in this manual and in the Installation Guide for the purposes and
applications for which it was designed. Modifications and/or additions to the equipment may only be
carried out by Midmark Corporation or by third parties expressly authorized by Midmark Corporation

technical rules. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that existing legal regulations regarding
installation of the equipment with respect to the building are observed.
Do not hang lead aprons on the horizontal extension arm.
X-RAY PROTECTION:
X-ray equipment may cause injury if used improperly.
The device must not be operated in the significant zone of occupancy. The operator of an intraoral

Product Description
The VetPro® DC Animal Health Dental X-ray System is a state-of-the-art, high-frequency intra-oral Xray machine. The VetPro® DC consists of five components, as shown in Figure 1 Component Diagram:
the Control Unit, the Tubehead, the Articulating Arm, the Horizontal Arm, the Cone, and the Remote
Control option.
Control Unit
Tubehead
Articulating Arm
Horizontal Arm
Modular Beam
Limiting Device [BLD]
The Control Unit provides for the input power connection and control of the
Tubehead and Operator Panel. It provides automatic line voltage
compensation, kVp control, and exposure time control. The Control Unit
consists of the mounting base and Operator Panel.
The Tubehead contains the X-ray tube, high voltage circuit, and Cone. It is
shipped already assembled to the Articulating Arm.
Note: There is a small hole in the plastic handle covering the back of the
Tubehead. Under no circumstances should this hole be blocked as it
provides an air vent to allow the Tubehead oil to expand and contract as the
unit is operated.
The Articulating Arm provides the articulation support for the Tubehead and
the reach and coverage of the Tubehead to the patient. It allows smooth
movement for precise positioning and does not drift or vibrate when left in
position.
The Horizontal Arm helps provide the necessary reach for the VetPro® DC.
It pivots smoothly around a shaft inserted in the top of the Control Unit and
contains an access cover to connect the cable from the Horizontal Arm to
the Control Unit. It is available in four lengths, providing reaches of 56, 66,
76 and 82 inches.
The cone establishes the distance from the X-ray tube to the patient’s skin.
It provides positioning assistance and collimates the X-ray beam to within a
defined circle at its end. The VetPro® DC is shipped with the standard 20 mm
Cone attached to the Tubehead. A 30 mm Cone [30-A2200] can be ordered
as an option.
