CONTROLLING THE FLUID FLOW
The water source is selected using the two toggle
switches on the front of the unit.
• The left switch selects the fluid source between
“External”, from the rear connector to the city water,
or “Internal”, from the bottles inside the Integra.
• The right switch selects the fluid source between the
“Front” or the “Rear” bottle.
When using the internal bottle water source, room
temperature, sterile, deionized or distilled water is
preferred. 4 parts water may be mixed with 1 part
FDA-approved mouthwash for a pleasant-tasting
irrigation fluid.
The fluid-control buttons on the touch panel control the
output of the pump from the internal bottles only. If you
are using an external water source, water flow
is adjusted using the water control knob on the back
of the unit.
If you are using the internal bottles as a fluid source,
the flow is controlled by using the WATER (+) and
(–) buttons on the touch panel at the front of the unit.
When you press either button the display will start to
flash to indicate that it is now showing the water flow
rate (1 is the lowest; 7 is the highest). As you hold the
button the flow will change as shown by the display.
When you release the button the display will return to
showing the power level after a few seconds. When
in operation, the sound of the pump will speed up or
slow down depending on the fluid flow setting. If fluid
does not flow through the insert when the foot pedal is
depressed, consult the Troubleshooting section later in
these instructions.
HOW TO REPLACE THE FILTER DISK
If an external water source is used, the water filter disk
on the rear hose of the unit should be replaced every
3-4 months, or when it becomes dark or clogged with
debris, or when water flow is impeded. Replacement
filters are available from Parkell (Stock No. D419 – ten
per package). To change the filter:
1. Make sure all water valves from the water supply to
the Integra are shut off before changing the filter.
2. Disconnect the scaler water supply hose from the
water supply at the quick-connect.
3. Remove the old filter disk by holding it in one hand
and twisting off the hose connectors on either side.
They rotate in opposite directions.
4. Install the new filter disk in the same position as
the old one, and tighten the connectors by hand in
reverse. Do not use a tool.
5. Reconnect the scaler water supply hose to the water
supply via the quick-connect, open the control valve
and check for leaks.
6. Note: If the filter becomes clogged and you do not
have a replacement disk, the hose connectors may be
locked together TEMPORARILY without the filter disk
to allow emergency operation only.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The scaler must only be powered via the Transformer
Assembly that is supplied with the device by Parkell. The
scaler and its separate transformer generate a minimal
amount of heat. Avoid covering them, to allow normal
cooling.
1. Plug the transformer power cord connector into the
“PWR” receptacle on the back of the scaler, with the
arrow on the plug on top.
2. Plug the foot pedal into the “FTPEDAL” receptacle
on the back of the scaler, with the arrow on the plug
on top.
3. Plug the transformer power cord into a grounded
electrical outlet.
USE OF AUTOCLAVABLE SHEATHS AND
ULTRASONIC INSERTS
1. The Integra handpiece is provided with the
autoclavable handpiece sheath attached. Prior to
use, the sheath should be removed and sterilized in a
steam autoclave. To remove it, hold the handpiece at
the base with one hand and turn the sheath counter-
clockwise with the other, taking care not to twist or
damage the hose. The sheath will unscrew and slip
off. Confirm that the orange O-ring is still present on
the end of the handpiece.
2. To replace the sheath, lubricate the O-ring on the
handpiece with water to assure a good seal. Slide
the sheath over the handpiece carefully to avoid
damaging or dislodging the O-ring and gently thread
the sheath onto the handpiece clockwise, until there is
no gap between the two. Do not overtighten.
TURNING THE SCALER ON AND OFF
To turn the scaler on, press any button on the touch
panel. The display will illuminate to indicate that the
scaler is on.
To turn the scaler off, press the WATER minus (–) button
and the POWER minus (–) buttons at the same time. The
display will go out, indicating that the unit is off. The unit
will remember any settings you made when it is turned
on again.
