Additional notes

The Universal RAD Power Docking Interface Board is the part of flash pad detector, which is used in the Optima XR 200 AMX and XR 220 AMX imaging systems. The detector docking connector is used to charge the flash pad detector. It is also known as charging connector. The charging connector is comprised of URP detector, ground clip, pin connector, protection ESD suppressor and URP docking interface. The flash pad detector is used to convert X-ray data into digital image data that is transferred to the system for processing and display. The detector is an X-ray imaging device that consists of an array of 2024 x 2024 pixels. Each pixel is attached to a data acquisition circuit that converts incoming X-ray signal to 14-bit digital data. The detector is constructed from a metal case. The front face contains a graphite X-ray imaging window and the back face contains safety warnings.
