23 Operating instruments
23.1 Instrument logic
NOTE
If you use similar instruments at the same time, keep them in their own
places. The memory operation does not recognise the parameters and
settings of the similar instruments if their places are changed.
The dental unit contains an instrument logic with the principles described
below. The active instrument can be operated with the foot control and its
settings are displayed on the control panel and they can be changed.
When the active instrument is operated, other instruments can be away from
the instrument console, but they can not be operated.
The syringe can be operated independently of other instruments at any time.
1. When the dentist picks up instrument 1 from the instrument console, it
becomes the active instrument. The dentist can drive it with the foot
control pedal (a short push to the right/left or down is enough).
2. While the dentist drives instrument 1, the assistant can pick up
instrument 2 for preparation. Picking up instrument 2 does not change
the active instrument.
3. The dentist returns the active instrument (instrument 1) to the instrument
console.
4. The assistant returns instrument 2 to the instrument console.
5. The dentist activates instrument 2 by picking it up from the instrument
console. After this, it can be driven with the foot control as above.
The memory operation of the logic settings makes it possible to store
parameters and settings for up to eight instruments. Changing the place of
the instrument on the console does not change the parameters and settings
of that instrument.
Intelligent four-handed dentistry
In four-handed dentistry it is important to enable a smooth preparation and
exchange of instruments between the dentist and the assistant. Therefore,
an alternative instrument logic can be taken into use for four-handed
dentistry. Please contact your Planmeca dealer.
In intelligent four-handed dentistry one instrument can be left waiting in a
queue so that it is ready for use when the dentist returns the active
instrument to the instrument console.
The intelligent four-handed dentistry follows the principles described below.
The active instrument can be operated with the foot control and its settings
are displayed on the control panel and they can be changed.
The instrument logic does not control the syringe which can be used at any
time.
1. When the dentist picks up instrument 1 from the instrument console, it
becomes the active instrument. The dentist can drive it with the foot
control pedal (a short push to the right/left or down is enough).
2. While the dentist drives instrument 1, the assistant can pick up
instrument 2 for preparation and the instrument goes to the instrument
queue.
