Set-Up

Handpiece Vacuum/Pressure

To set up your handpiece air hose connection, perform the following steps:
1. Air Hose To Handpiece Connection
a) Attach one end of a 137cm (54 inch) length of air hose to the metal tube in
the back of the handpiece.
b) If you have a PACE system incorporating only one handpiece, attach the
air hose to the power cable using the supplied Hose Clamps. Space them
evenly along the length of the power cable starting at a point 6 inches
from the ends of the handpiece.
c) If you have a PACE system incorporating 2 or more air handpieces, you
may wish to leave the air hose assembly unattached to allow a quick
change to any air handpiece being used.
2. Prepare a VisiFilter (if needed) in the following
manner:
a) Connect a 1 inch (2.5cm) length of clear pvc
air hose to the FLOW OUT side of the
VisiFilter; push and turn the hose onto the
VisiFilter nipple to seat.
b) Insert the ribbed end of a male quick connect
hose mount fitting (P/N 1259-0087) into the
free end of the 1 inch (2.5cm) length of air
hose connected to the FLOW OUT side of
the VisiFilter.
c) Connect the free end of the 137cm (54 inch)
length of air hose to the FLOW IN side of the
VisiFilter.
d) Insert the end of the quick connect hose
mount fitting (on VisiFilter FLOW OUT
side) into the power source Vacuum Port.
3. When using air pressure, and/or utilizing multiple air handpieces,
PACE recommends the use of the following set up procedure which
utilizes additional quick connect hose mount fittings. An assortment
of quick connect air fittings are supplied with each additional air
handpiece.
a) Disconnect the 137cm (54 inch) length of air hose from the FLOW
IN side of the VisiFilter assembly. Insert the ribbed end of a male
