Operation 12. 21. ’04
Meter Display
* The position of the file tip is shown by the canal length
indicator bar on the display. The apical line flashes on
and off once file is inserted into the root canal.
NOTE
•
Occasionally the canal length indicator bar makes a
sudden and large movement as soon as the file is
inserted into the root canal, but it will return to
normal as the file is advanced down towards the apex.
WARNING
•
In some cases such as a blocked root canal, a
measurement can not be made.
•
Accurate measurement is not always possible,
especially in cases of abnormal or unusual root canal
morphology; make sure to take an x-ray to check the
measurement results.
•
Stop using the unit immediately if it does not seem to
be working properly.
*
Refer to the separate manual for the root canal
measurement unit (Canal Measurement Module) for
instructions on how to measure a root canal.
•
The meter’s 0.5 reading indicates that the tip of the file
is in the apical constriction.
* The numerals on the meter gauge do not represent
length in millimeters.
•
If the file tip passes the point indicated by the apical
line, the alarm sound will change from beeping to solid
tone. If the file tip reaches the major foramen, the
word “APEX” and the triangle next to the apical line will
start to flash.
