THE AUTOSCALER DIRECTIONS FOR USE Rev: A March 16, 2007
WHAT TO DO IF UNIT STOPS WORKING
If the unit does not function, proceed with the following:
1.
If the power L.E.D. light above the switch is not lit, replace the
FUSE
on
the rear panel
with a
"LITTLE FUSE“2 amp Fast Blow style.
If the fuse
opens again
DO NOT
attempt to replace the fuse as this indicates a
serious condition that must be examined by the factory. Call for technical
service
(519) 579-9323
or ask your local dealer to look up our current
phone number and address in their records, or the
Proofs Magazine
listing of dental manufacturers.
2.
Check the plug.
Is it all the way in the receptacle?
3.
Try another insert
. (Make sure it is the correct frequency
25K or 30K
depending on your model.) If you have a 30K model a
30K sticker
will be
on the front panel in the lower right corner or marked on the back of the
unit usually on the serial number plate.
The most common mistake
when purchasing a new unit is selecting the wrong frequency
Cavitron insert.
4.
If water flow is
insufficient,
check water pressure at the operatory for
minimum of
20 PSI
. The
Insert Water SLOT
could be clogged with
debris. Try another insert. See if
WATER QUICK CONNECTOR
is
locked fully
in place.
5.
If the handpiece handle or insert operates
HOT: REDUCE POWER
LEVEL
and
INCREASE WATER FLOW.
6.
NEVER
touch the Cavitating/Vibrating end
of the insert tip to any
FLESH
such as the
cheek, tongue, or gums unless performing special periodontal
procedures. This will cause
a friction burn
to the patient. Always keep
the insert in motion. Do not rest the handle or insert on the lips during a
procedure. The
REASON
for this is due to the
25,000 or 30,000 back
and forth strokes of the insert every second.
This is the principal idea
of ultrasonic cleaning activity. The insert tip should touch
PRIMARILY
the
calculus on the tooth surface, and NOT the enamel of the tooth surface.
7.
If
THE AUTOSCALER
stops functioning or is intermittent
when the
handpiece cord is moved, this means a wire in the handpiece cord is
broken and must be immediately repaired or replaced.
DO NOT
continue
to press the foot switch as there is a possibility the internal circuit
safety
fuse
may blow and require replacement by a qualified technician.
