Fitting Adaptors
Before fitting adaptors to the LCS, check that the adaptor’s O-ring seal(s) are in
place and in good condition or cleaning may be impaired. To attach adaptors to the
couplings, insert the adaptor noting correct orientation, lift and turn screw collar
counter-clockwise until tight.
Fitting Handpieces
To attach the dental handpieces to the adaptors, simply push the handpiece onto
the adaptor until it clicks. See the following for a list of the available adaptors
(examples of these are shown on the previous page; 1 is a Multiflex and 2 is an E-
type coupling. If there are fewer than six handpieces being cleaned during a cycle,
it is not necessary to cover or plug the unused adaptors or couplers.
Remove the handpieces from the LCS promptly at the end of the cycle and proceed
with sterilization. Do not leave the handpieces in the unit overnight or for any
extended length of time.
Using The LCS With Other Accessories
The handpieces occupy the upper right quadrant of the wash chamber when the
door is closed. For ease of loading, place other instruments in the C51wd-LCS
baskets and racks, ensuring that the upper right quadrant is left free for the
handpieces. Ensure that the top basket’s load does not restrict closing the door
with adaptors or handpieces fitted to the LCS. If in doubt do not use the top basket.
Disabling The LCS
When operating the C51wd-LCS without handpieces attached to the LCS, the
Lumen Cleaning System can be disabled as follows.
Remove all the adaptors and store carefully. The cover can now be closed, which
will disable the LCS. This will help prevent the adaptors from being damaged and
also prevent the unnecessary use of the air solenoid.
Note: cycles are approximately 4 minutes longer when the LCS is being used or it is
activated with the cover open.
