5.3 Automatic Limiter (AL)
The Automatic Limiter (AL) limits the torque level applied to the instrument. If the selected torque level is
reached, the speed will drop to zero rpm. A torque level equal to the selected setting will still be exerted
against the file.
All torque values are shown in Nmm (for example a setting of AL 20
→
indicates that the instrument can
be loaded to maximum of 20 Nmm before rotations stops).
Adjusting the AL mode:
1) Press the key “ATC SET”. In the display appears the torque mode set (for example [AL 20]).
2) Pressing the keys “
▲
” and“
▼
” will increase and decrease the torque level respectively.
3) By pressing the “ATC SET” briefly once more the digital display switches back automatically.
5.4 Automatic Protection (AP)
The automatic protection (AP) mode is a special function against file breakage.
When the selected torque level is reached, the motor reverses immediately to free the file and then
returns automatically to forward operation.
All torque values are shown in Nmm (for example a setting of AL 20
→
indicates that the instrument can
be loaded to maximum of 20 Nmm before rotations stops).
The Automatic Limiter (AL) can be adjusted in the following ranges:
1:1
