Step 2: Calibrating handpieces

To make sure the displayed parameters correspond with the actual, measurable parameters of the
handpiece or contra angle, it is recommended to calibrate each handpiece or contra angle on a regular basis.
It's a procedure as simple as it is important to guarantee safety and precision of each handpiece or contra
angle being used.
After you take care of all prior preparations such as sterilization, maintenance and care of handpieces,
device preparation and the selection of the handpiece of use, the calibration procedure can be performed.
The calibration of handpieces guarantees accurate torque. Due to wear as well as varying lubrication of
the handpieces, and lack of maintenance and care, the distribution of torque can vary widely.
1. Select the correct handpiece, corresponding to the one mounted on the motor and double check on the
display for correct selection.
2. Hold motor with mounted handpiece or contra angle in your hand at safe distance to your body.
3. Press both "Speed" keys at the same time (Speed ▲ + ▼). "Testing the handpiece XX" is displayed.
4. Motor and handpiece start running and pass several speed cycles up to maximum speed.
5. After a tone is emitted the calibration is finished. The display shows the message "Handpiece is OK".
If the Handpiece is not working according to the preset values of the calibration chart, the device
produces an error message and the display is illuminated red and shows the message "Handpiece is
faulty".
This indicates soiling, wearout or a technical defect. These Handpieces must be cleaned, repaired or
exchanged.
At the calibration procedure the Handpieces are tested for their behavior in torque delivery.
To make sure the torque delivery stays within the required range for the specific Handpiece, the devices
controller is adjusted according to changed conditions of the Handpiece.

Step 3: Setting the speed

The possible speed range depends on the attached handpiece. The maximum speed within this speed range
can be restricted to the required value.
Using the pedal, the speed can be varied from the minimum speed up to the maximum speed as set.
Setting the speed:
Press the "Speed" keys "▲" to increase or "▼" to decrease the maximum speed. When key is pressed
continuously the speeds will be shown in fast forward mode.
