Cable Replacement - Dentsply Sirona Schick 33 User Manual

8. Cable Replacement

IMPORTANT! Always disconnect the Sensor from the USB interface before cable replacement to avoid potential
damage to Sensor components. Close CDR DICOM or any other imaging application prior to starting cable
replacement. When performing cable replacement, always work outside the patient area, using the tools and materials
supplied and / or recommended by Dentsply Sirona.
IMPORTANT! Like other electronic devices, your Sensor is susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD), particularly
when the device is used in or around carpeted areas or low-humidity environments. During cable replacement, when
Sensor contacts are exposed, it is especially important to protect the device from potential ESD damage. Touching a
metal surface prior to replacing the cable will reduce the risk of damaging Sensor components by accidental static
discharge. The use of anti-static floor mats or floor treatments (for example Staticide 2005/2002) will also help eliminate
static build-up in your office.
The following procedure illustrates cable replacement for a Schick size 2 Sensor. Procedures
for other Schick Sensor sizes will be similar.
S 1
TEP
A. Please clean and dry your hands before
performing this procedure. Do not wear
gloves since the powder inside them
could be deposited on sensor contacts
while replacing the cable.
B. Make sure the Sensor is placed securely
on a clean, moisture-free surface.
C. Using a dental instrument, carefully lift
and remove the tab cover from the back
of the Sensor cable. Dispose of the tab
cover as a new one will be used when the
new cable is attached.
S 2
TEP
A. Using the screwdriver provided, loosen
and remove the 2 screws that secure the
cable to the Sensor. If silicone gel is present,
remove this material with the screws. Dispose
of the screws as new ones are supplied.
