Section 8: Ultrasonic Scaler System
Description
8.1 System Controls
The DENTSPLY Cavitron Built-In module is enabled whenever the
clinician removes the handpiece from the handpiece holder.
ON/OFF Function
The Ultrasonics is switched ON and OFF using the dental unit foot
control.
Power Adjustment
There are 2 options for adjusting the power to your Cavitron built-in
ultrasonic scaler.
Option 1: Power is adjusted by turning the power
control knob located on the dental unit control that
installed by your service technician. Stickers have
been provided for application to the treatment unit
to denote the Cavitron ultrasonic scaler power range
(see image). These stickers are not required and may or may not
have been applied by your technician. If they have not been applied
or left behind by the technician and you would like to apply them
to your dental unit, contact DENTSPLY Customer Service to order
them.
Option 2: If you are using a treatment unit equipped with a touch
pad, your service technician will wire the power adjustment to the
appropriate buttons on the dental unit. Power can be adjusted using
these buttons.
Lavage Flow Adjustment
Water flow through the handpiece is adjusted by rotating a control
element on the cable connector (blue).
