14.2 Foot control pedal
Two foot control pedals are available: a standard pedal (1) and a wide pedal
(2).
NOTE
If you want to change from a standard pedal to the wide pedal, or vice versa,
contact your Planmeca dealer.
The two foot control pedals function differently. For example, to increase the
instrument speed, you must push the standard pedal horizontally, either to
the left or to the right. When you use the wide pedal, you increase the speed
with a vertical movement: the further down you push the pedal, the higher
the instrument speed is.
14.3 Foot control functions
14.3.1 Overview
You can program the dental unit and instrument operations that are
performed from the foot control when you are signed in to the dental unit.
For information on programming, see section "Foot control functions" on
page 200.
NOTE
When you are not signed in to the dental unit and the Sign in window is
displayed, the only operation that you can perform from the foot control is to
sign in as a guest user by pressing the left-side knob down. This operation
can not be programmed.
To view which functions are activated when you push the foot control knobs
or pedal, press Foot control at the top of the control panel. This opens the
Foot control window with a map of the foot control functions. The functions
are grouped into three groups: Centre knob, side knobs and pedal. Select
the group whose functions you want to view in the drop-down menu.
NOTE
If you want to view the functions for an instrument, you must first activate the
instrument by picking it up from the instrument console.
When you program the foot control functions, you can select between the
single-push mode and the short & long push mode.
