WATER CONTROL

WATER CONNECTION:

Before plugging in the device, connect the
scaler's water line to a supply of drinking-quality
water (20-50psi). Water should be clean and free
of sediment. We suggest that an external water
filter be used to minimize the frequent changes
of the device's in-line water filter.
The male quick-connect that comes on
the end of the water hose is the same as that
currently fitted to the Cavitron
are replacing an older scaler that uses a different
type of connection, remove the fitting from the
old unit and attach it to the water line.
IMPORTANT: The water line to the scaler
should be turned off whenever the device is
not in use.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION:

The scaler must be powered via the
Transformer Assembly supplied with the scaler.
1.) Plug the transformer cable into the back
of the scaler.
2.) Plug the
transformer into any
grounded outlet.
From this point on,
simply stepping on
the pedal will turn
on the scaler.

INSERTS

The TurboSENSOR accepts any Parkell
insert as well as 25Kand 30K inserts designed
for Cavitron scalers.
The scaler automatically adjusts the
operating frequency to match the frequency of
the insert in the handpiece (either 25KHz or
30KHz) without operator intervention.
Brand new inserts fit very tightly in the
handpiece. Using a slight twisting motion when
inserting and lubricating the "O" ring with water
will make insertion easier.
Old, worn or blunt instruments will provide
poor scaling action and should be replaced.

TURNING ON THE SCALER:
The unit does not have a traditional on/off
switch. The foot pedal turns the unit off each
time you remove your foot. Because of this,
the pedal should be placed where it will not be
accidentally hit when the device is not in use.

CONTROLLING THE POWER:

The TurboSENSOR gives you two ways to
adjust the scaling power: a traditional power
control knob, and a Turbo mode.
Use the power control knob to set the
initial power for the scaling procedure at hand.
A tip powered by the TurboSENSOR will
begin oscillating at much lower amplitude
(power) than a tip in a traditional scaler.
This permits more comfortable debridement
of recall patients.
With the foot pedal depressed, turn the
power control knob in a clockwise direction to
increase the amount of tip motion. When the
"Perio" light is illuminated, the Power Control
Knob permits very subtle adjustments in tip
amplitude (relatively large movements of the
knob produce small increases in amplitude).
When the "Perio"
light is not illuminated,
tip amplitude reacts
more dramatically
to knob adjustment
for high power
calculus removal.
For short-term
increases in power during the procedure,
simply increase foot-pressure on the pedal.
(The yellow "Turbo" light will illuminate.)
This will instantly boost scaling power to a
point midway between the current setting and
the scaler's maximum power. (In other words,
increasing foot-pressure when the scaler is
operating at a low setting will cause a major
boost in power. Increasing foot-pressure when
the scaler is already operating at maximum
power will produce no significant increase.)
"ON" INDICATOR
Lights only when
footswitch is depressed.
"TURBO" LIGHT
Indicates device is operating
in high-power "Turbo" mode
(footswitch fully depressed).
