I. Descriptions and Functionalities of Components 1. Main Unit It is the heart of the scaler. Functionally, the main unit generates the needed 29 KHz- operation-signal and passes it onto the handpiece, and thus induces power to vibrate the tip inside the handpiece accordingly. Due to loading variations, a signal from the handpiece will be fed back to the main unit so that the main unit can track the variation of the loading and adjust the intensity of the controlling signal accordingly.
