2-7-2 Changing Lamps on the Collimator (Model 5234954)
)The Automatic Collimator uses a special collimator light bulb and it MUST be
replaced with part number 2271727. Other lamps may not meet HHS require-
ments.
The X-ray field to light field is aligned in the factory. This collimator bulb requires
no alignment for X-ray to light field, since the filament is in the same place in all
bulbs. There is no field adjustment for X-ray field to Light field alignment if another
type of bulb is used.
