You can select a total of two modes of operation:
1. Apex function
Ape x stop
0.5 seconds/ 1 second/ 2 seconds.
The position or propulsion of the file in the root canal is displayed on the symbolized apex
during preparation and the manual probing. It is not possible to enter or change the
parameters while the motor is being started up using the foot switch.
1. If the horizontal line, which may have been set by manual probing, is reached, the motor
stops for the selected time unit (0.5; 1 or 2 seconds).
2. An acoustic signal and flashing red LED on the motor signal that, with immediate effect,
the file’s maximum torque limit will be further reduced in the cutting direction.
2. Apex function
Ape x stop off
The position or propulsion of the file in the root canal is displayed on the apex image on the
display during preparation and the manual probing.
An acoustic signal sounds when the horizontal line is crossed. The motor does not stop and
the torque is not reduced either.
Note: An electronic length determination is only possible with conductive tool shafts. There
are instruments with insulating shafts. It is therefore not possible to determine the length
during preparation.
4.5.4. Calibrate
Always perform a calibration after each sterilization. The
calibration compensates for the contra-angle’s friction.
This calibration can compensate for small torque losses
at the contra-angle. This function always allows safe
operation at low torque limits.
If calibration is not possible, the contra-angle will be very
dirty or damaged. In this case, please contact the
manufacturer.
