Why Is My Belmont 071 Not Working?

Below are the 3 fast checks techs look at first for the Belmont 071 intraoral X-ray.

Symptoms: blurry or over/underexposed images, artifacting, cutoff edges.
Likely causes: tube head wear (oil leak/overheating), mis-calibration of exposure time, cone/collimator misalignment, incorrect sensor settings.
Quick checks: confirm patient/sensor positioning and exposure settings; inspect the tube head for heat/oil; verify collimator alignment. Stop use if oil is present and schedule evaluation/replacement.

Symptoms: no power, breaker trips, error beeps, won’t fire, inconsistent timing.
Likely causes: blown fuse, bad hand-switch or cable, failing timer/control board, transformer or line-voltage issues, loose ground.
Quick checks: verify outlet/line voltage, check fuses, inspect hand-switch cable/connectors; if timing is unstable, a board/transformer service may be needed.

Symptoms: head sags or won’t hold position; rattling joints.
Likely causes: worn friction springs/washers, dried lubrication, loose wall/stand mount.
Quick checks: adjust friction, replace springs/washers, lubricate joints, tighten mounting hardware.

⚠️ Safety: X-ray devices must be serviced by qualified personnel. Power down, lock-out/tag-out, and follow state radiation rules.
