CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE
Your DTP-80 requires no special maintenance other than being kept clean. The
heater bore must be kept free of oxidation and debris in order to maintain the
proper tip-to-ground resistance. Periodically inspect the power cable, connector
and handpiece itself for evidence of physical damage. Do not use a handpiece with
a damaged power cable. Refer to Table II and the illustration following for
information on troubleshooting most handpiece problems. Table III lists the
common handpiece parts.
Use Table II and the Connector Plug illustration to troubleshoot your DTP-80 Dual
ThermoPik handpiece. Disconnect the handpiece from the PACE power source.
Use a voltmeter to check the resistance across the handpiece Connector Plug pins as
outlined in the “Checkout Procedure” column.
NOTE
The handpiece Heater Assembly must be at room temperature (22° C or
72°F) before performing "Heater Assembly Checkout Procedures".
