4.5.3. Apex functions during motor operation
You can select the settings that apply to the preparation
under the
Apex Setup
menu.
(See also section chapter 3)
You can set various sounds and the apex signal’s volume.
Here, you define how the motor reacts when reaching the
apex position.
You can set the motor’s stop time. You can also switch off
the function for stopping the motor at the apex.
As Apex function you can select:
-
Apex stop (stop time: 0.5 or 1 or 2 seconds)
-
Apex stop off (the apex position is displayed, the
motor does not stop automatically).
Check the apex cable and the correct connection by briefly touching the lip clip with the
clamped file. The
Short circuit
error message must be displayed (see chapter 14). A
convenient function of the EndoPilot² is the length determination during the mechanical
preparation. In principle, all instructions already mentioned in chapter 3 (Manual apex length
determination) apply. For the measurement during preparation, the contra-angle handpiece
takes over the file clamp’s task. The measuring signal is transferred to the file through the
insulated contra-angle. The lip clip is still needed to close the electric circuit.
The results should always be compared with an X-ray control image.
