Exposure recognition
When the exposure recognition is switched on,
then the unit will detect whether an image plate
is exposed or not on insertion. When an ex-
posed image plate is scanned then an x-ray im-
age will be displayed. When an unexposed im-
age plate is scanned then an empty image plate
will be displayed. A preview will not be displayed
on the touchscreen.
When the exposure recognition is switched off
and an unexposed image plate is scanned then
the unit will not display anything on the touch-
screen or in the software.
TreFoc
The TreFoc-Technology of the HD-CR 35 NDT
Plus allows the size of the laser spot to be ad-
justed. This provides x-ray exposures with opti-
mal signal-to-noise ratio and optimally adapted
resolution.
Using the pre-defined scanning modes (see "4.3
Scan mode") it is able, depending on the par-
ticular application, to select the matching scan-
ning mode to suit the image plate.

Product description
5.2 Image plate
The image plate stores x-ray energy, which is
re-emitted when stimulated by the laser in the
form of light. This light is then transformed into
image information in the image plate scanner.
The image plate has both an active and an inac- EN
tive side. The image plate must always be ex-
posed to the active side.
When used properly, image plates can be ex-
posed, read and erased several hundred times
provided there is no mechanical damage. The im-
age plate must be replaced if there are any signs
of damage, e.g. protective layer is damaged or
visible scratches, which could interfere with diag-
nosis.

The light protection cover provides several pro-
tection functions for the image plate:
–– Protection against sunlight and UV light, there-
by adding protection against premature erasure
–– Protection from dirt
Additionally, the light protection cover with its ad-
hesive strips makes it easier to insert the image
plate for scanning. Information on handling can

7.6 Electrical connection
Safety for the electrical connection
• The appliance may only be connected to a cor-
rectly installed socket outlet.
• Make sure the connection lines to the appli-
ance are not subject to any mechanical ten-
sion.
• Before initial start-up, check the supply voltage
with the voltage information on the model iden-
tification plate (see also "4. Technical Data").
Connecting the appliance to the power
supply
The unit has no main power switch. For
this reason the unit must be set up so
that the socket-outlet must be easily ac-
cessible and the unit can be unplugged
if necessary.
Requirements:
99 Correctly installed socket-outlet in the vicinity
of the unit (max. length of electric cable 3  m)
99 The socket-outlet must be easily accessible
99 Rated current to conform with the information
on the model identification plate on the power
unit
• Connect the mains cable supplied to the appli-
ance power unit.
The connection cable has a catch sys-
tem. To undo the unit, slide the housing
of the connector towards the back. Do
not apply pulling force to the cable.
• Connect the power unit to the connection
socket on the unit.
• Now connect the power cable to the sock-
et-outlet.

If appliances are connected with one another or
with parts of systems, danger can occur (e.g.
due to leakage current).
• Only connect appliances if there is no danger
for operators and the environment.
• Only connect appliances if the environment is
not affected by the coupling.
• If there is any element of doubt concerning
the safety of connected equipment, the safety
must be checked and approved by a suitably
qualified person (e.g. manufacturer).
• Only connect additional appliances (e.g. com-
puter, monitor, printer) which at least comply
with the IEC 60950‑1 (EN 60950‑1) standard.
Connecting up the appliance with network
