Radio Frequency (RF) Interference Considerations
Although the CDR Elite Wireless System equipment is designed to
provide a reasonable degree of protection from electromagnetic
interference according to International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) regulations, it must be installed at an adequate
distance from electricity transformer rooms, static continuity units,
two-way amateur radios and cellular phones. To ensure proper
operation, the latter can be used only at a minimum distance of 5
feet (1.5m) from any part of the equipment.
Any instrumentation or equipment for professional use located
near the CDR Elite Wireless system must conform to
Electromagnetic Compatibility regulations appropriate to this type
of equipment. Non-conforming equipment, with known poor
immunity to electromagnetic fields, may not operate properly
unless they are installed at a distance of at least 10 feet (3m) and
supplied by a dedicated electric line.
Installers to Ensure that CDR Elite Wireless System Operates Optimally
Installers must ensure that the CDR Elite Wireless system provides
the user with the optimal use of the equipment. This includes, but
is not limited to, ensuring that the system operates as described in
this document. Installers must also ensure that the system presents
no physical obstacles or hazards during operation and when not in
use. To verify this requirement, installers shall confirm that the
CDR Elite Wireless system is installed as described in this User
Guide and shall perform the appropriate procedures therein.
Ensure Proper System and PC Workstation Installation and Operation
The Sensor and CDR Elite Wireless PAT have been determined to
be in accordance with international safety standards and are
deemed suitable for use within the patient area, which extends
from the patient for a distance of 5 ft (1.5m). To comply with these
standards, do not operate non-medical equipment (such as a PC
workstation) inside the patient area. Outside the patient area, the
presence of approved non-medical grade equipment and Listed /
Approved / IEC 60950-1 certified Information Technology
Equipment (ITE) computer equipment is acceptable.
The host computer (PC workstation) should be CE-approved and
conform with the Low Voltage [73/23/EC] and EMC Directive
[89/336/ERC]. Also, to help ensure optimal performance, verify
that all software programs residing on the workstation are virusfree and have been adequately tested so they will not impact
imaging applications after installation.

contacts are exposed when attaching the wireless adapter to the
CDR Elite Sensor, so it is especially important to protect it from
potential ESD damage. Touching a metal surface prior to installing
the wireless adapter will reduce the risk of damaging Sensor
components by accidental static discharge. The use of anti-static
floor mats or floor treatments (for example Staticide 2005/2002)
will also help eliminate static build-up in your office.
Do Not Use Snap-A-Ray Holders with Sensors
Any type of clamping holder, or equivalent instrument, can exert
damaging pressure on the Sensor case, including the material and
components enclosed inside. This type of damage is not covered
by warranty.
Observe Proper Handling and Placement for Sensors
As with any dental device or instrument placed intraorally, proper
care must be taken when using Sensors to ensure they are handled
and positioned properly. Practitioners should observe standard
guidelines, use recommended holders and other Sensor positioning
elements, and follow accepted clinical methods to make sure that
the patient does not bite down on or damage the Sensor during the
X-ray examination.

B1051080 Rev. – (DRAFT)
For details on how to change your standard CDR Elite Sensor to
the CDR Elite Wireless configuration, please refer to Section 5.1.
2.2. Power and Transceiver
The Power and Transceiver (PAT) provides power to the CDR
Elite Sensor, contributes to the process of acquiring an image, and
transfers the image to the PC workstation, where it can be
displayed, reviewed, and stored.
The PAT is also responsible for monitoring the strength of the
rechargeable Lithium cell battery located in this module. Battery
strength is reported by the Wireless Monitor, a separate utility
distributed with CDR Elite Wireless software.
For upgrading the PAT when new features are available, an
Upgrade utility is distributed with CDR Elite Wireless software.
This utility also includes image pattern tests and status information
for troubleshooting purposes.
For details on how to upgrade the PAT firmware or to perform
troubleshooting, please refer to Section 7.
2.3. Counter Top Dock
The Counter Top Dock (CTD) charges the PAT battery when the

3.4. Wireless Monitor
The Wireless Monitor is included with CDR Elite Wireless
software and is installed automatically. When the workstation is
turned on, the Wireless Monitor initializes automatically and
remains active until the workstation is turned off.
The Wireless Monitor consists of two tabs:
•
PAT Status: Reports the battery level of the PAT to
which the workstation is currently paired and the signal
strength of a currently connected CDR Elite Sensor with
wireless adapter. (If the sensor is not connected, or
detected, no signal strength information is displayed.)
•
PAT Management: Lists all detected PAT devices, their
serial numbers, signal strengths, battery levels, and the
Sensors and workstation IP addresses where they are
connected, and their availability for pairing.
A sample screen of the Wireless Monitor is shown below.
A sample screen of the PAT Status window is shown below.
A sample screen of the PAT Management window is shown in
Figure 12.

3.6. Upgrade Utility
Please note that use of the Upgrade utility is not available in
the field-test version of the CDR Elite Wireless system.
The Upgrade utility enables wireless upgrades of firmware or other
files in either the CDR Elite Sensor or the PAT, to provide updates,
including new features, and for system status and diagnostic
purposes.
The Upgrade Utility performs the following:
•
Upgrades firmware in the PAT by USB link when the
PAT is docked to the CTD
•
Upgrades firmware in the CDR Elite Sensor by wireless
link when the PAT is outside the CTD (“undocked”)
•
Performs pattern tests to simulate image transmission
•
Reports PAT status and wireless access point
information.
The pattern tests performed by the Upgrade utility include:
•
The PAT test of the Sensor connection by sending a
preset number of image patterns to the workstation. (The
actual image patterns are not displayed during the test.)
•
The Sensor test of image transmission by sending a preset
number of image patterns to the PAT. (The actual image
patterns are not displayed during the test.)
•
The PAT test of the wireless link by sending a preset
number of image patterns to the workstation. (The actual
image patterns are not displayed during the test.)
If all image patterns are sent and received properly, the utility
reports that the test was completed successfully. A pattern that fails
to be sent or received properly indicates a hardware problem and
further troubleshooting is required. Contact your local distributor
of Schick Technologies products for further instructions.

3.7. PAT and PC Workstation Pairing
To acquire an image on any PC workstation, a specific PAT must
be “paired” with that workstation. Any sensor can be connected to
the paired PAT device and used to acquire X-ray images.
A workstation will only receive images from its paired PAT
device. The PAT will only transmit to the computer to which it is
paired. If there is no paired PAT device when the imaging
application is started, you will be prompted to select a PAT device
for pairing.
3.8. Resend Last Image
Please note that the Resend Last Image feature is not available
in the field-test version of the CDR Elite Wireless system.
The Resend option can be triggered manually by the user via the
imaging software. The option can be controlled at a checkbox on
the Xray Acquisition Control Property page.
Image resend is supported in both Autotake and non-autotake
(manual) modes. Only the last acquired image can be
retransmitted, although it can be retransmitted multiple times, if
necessary.
If a PAT device is turned off (manually or automatically), the last
acquired image can no longer be retransmitted.
3.9. CDR AutoDetect and PAT Devices
The CDR AutoDetect feature instantly recognizes when Schick
intraoral devices are connected. Like Schick high-speed (HS)
remotes, PAT devices are supported by this feature, enabling
customers to skip the step of manually selecting a new Schick
device before using it.
If the CDR Elite Wireless device is selected at the default device in
the CDR DICOM property page, and if the PAT is already paired,
both the Wireless Monitor icon and the AutoDetect Server icon
will appear in the System tray.

4. Controls and LED Indicators
4.1. Counter Top Dock
There are three connectors for PATs to dock with the CTD. Near
each connector is a green indicator that illuminates and remains on
when a PAT is connected. When there are no PATs connected,
these LEDs are off.
Additional LEDs, located to the right and left of the docking
LEDs, are illuminated when power is available to the CTD. There
are two possible sources of power to the CTD:
•
External power (Please Note: Use only the WALL Model
WMMPU12†-103 power supply with the CTD.)
•
USB power
External power is supplied by a wall outlet and is normally
connected to charge any PATs that may be connected to the CTD.
USB power is supplied via cable to a PC workstation and is
normally disconnected except when diagnostic testing or upgrades
are needed.
The following illustrations and tables provide information about
the controls and indicators of the CDR Elite Wireless CTD.

4.2. Power and Transceiver Device
A multi-purpose pushbutton switch on the PAT controls power to
the device and turns it on or off. When the PAT is on, pressing and
holding the pushbutton for 2 to 3 seconds turns it off. If the PAT is
off, pressing the pushbutton turns the device on immediately.
The LED located at the back of the PAT displays a range of colors
and flashing patterns depending on the status and the functions
being performed by the PAT. The LED also provides ongoing
visual feedback regarding the battery charge required for
operation. With CTD usage, the LED will reflect the consumption
of battery charge as it approaches the orange and red colors.
We strongly recommend recharging the battery before it reaches
the color red, for the following reasons:
•
When the LED displays red, it means that there may not
be sufficient battery charge to complete image acquisition
and display, thus exposing the patient to unnecessary
radiation.
•
A battery whose charge has been completely consumed
will require a longer period to recharge.
With normal usage, recharging the CTD battery will take
approximately one hour. If the battery charge is significantly low,
or completely exhausted, the typical time to fully recharge it may
be as long as three hours.
The following illustrations provide information about the controls
and indicators of the CDR Elite Wireless PAT.

Guidance
Floors should be wood, concrete
or ceramic tile. If floors are
covered with synthetic material,
the relative humidity should be at
least 30%.
Mains power quality should be
that of a typical commercial or
hospital environment.
Mains power quality should be

hospital environment.
Mains power quality should be
that of a typical commercial or
hospital environment. If the user
of the system requires continued
operation during mains
interruptions, it is recommended
that the system be powered from
an uninterruptible power supply or
battery.
NOTE: UT is the AC mains
voltage prior to application of the
test level.
for 5 sec
Portable and mobile RF
communication equipment should
be used no closer to any part of
the system, including its cables,
than the recommended separation
distance calculated from the
equation applicable to the
frequency of the transmitter.
Recommended separation
distance:

Where P is the maximum output
rating of the transmitter in watts
(W) according to the transmitter
manufacturer and d is the
recommended separation in
meters (m).
Field strengths from fixed RF
transmitters, as determined by an
electromagnetic site survey,
should be less than the
compliance level in each
frequency range.
Interference may occur in the
vicinity of equipment marked with
the following symbol.
NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and
reflection from structures, objects and people
To avoid damage to electronic components inside, users should not touch the exposed contacts on the Wireless Sensor
and the USB Interface before discharging to an earthed object.
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile
radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To
assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be
considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the system is used exceeds the applicable RF
compliance above, the system should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed,
additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the system.
Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
