3. 2 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
a) Control unit upper panel
The dial (Fig. 1-3) is used to adjust the power: 1
to 20.
The display is separated into four colored
sections, each with five positions (Fig. 1-2).
The “ON” indicator (Figure 1, (4)) llights up with
the color and number of the chosen power level:
-
Green: 1 to 9
: very low to low power (e.g.
periodontics).
-
Yellow: 6 to 14
:
medium power (e.g.
endodontics)..
-
Blue: 12 to 18
: high power (e.g. prophylaxis).
-
Orange: 17 to 20
:
very high power (e.g.
specific treatments).
The
B
OOST
mode can be used to deliver an
increased power of 2.5 steps on top of the power
effectively used (e.g.: power 6 is displayed =>
boost = 8.5).
When the
B
OOST
function is selected, an orange
indicator lights up on the settings dial.
The technology of this device allows the
practitioner to work at constant amplitude
depending on the power selected with
compensation according to the effort applied.
Note
:
The tip usage power level is selected according to
the directions in the TipBook™ and the color-
coded system (CCS) tips.
The
Boost
function is automatically deactivated
when the practitioner selects a new power
setting with the power setting dial.
The knob on the upper panel (Fig. 1-6) governs:
- Irrigation solution flow adjustment.
