INTRODUCTION
The Planmeca ProOne X-ray unit produces digital X-ray
images for the diagnosis of dentomaxillofacial anatomy.
The unit is allowed to be used only under supervision of a
dental/health care professional.
This manual describes how to operate the Planmeca
ProOne X-ray unit. Please read these instructions
thoroughly before using the unit.
You need a PC with the Planmeca Romexis/Dimaxis
imaging software to save, view and modify the
radiographs. The Romexis/Dimaxis software has a
separate manual which should be used in conjunction
with this manual.
0537
Planmeca ProOne X-ray unit fulfils the requirements of

This manual is valid for software version 1.7.0.0.r or
later. This software version is compatible with
Romexis software version 2.4.0.R or later and Dimaxis
software version 4.5.0.0.r or later.
The display values shown in this manual are only
examples and should not be interpreted as recommended
values unless otherwise stated.
The Planmeca ProOne X-ray unit features preset
exposure values for all imaging programs. The exposure
values have been preset at the factory to automatically
correspond with the selected patient size. However, the
exposure values required to produce good X-ray images
vary considerably according to the build and age of the
patient. The preset exposure values are average values
and they are only meant to guide the user. Users are
encouraged to develop their own radiographic techniques
based on these values.
Make sure that you are fully acquainted with the
appropriate radiation protection measures and these
instructions before using the X-ray unit.
