Functional Description

When the unit is initially turned on, all lights on the Control Module will light and the
Beam Intensity and Particle Energy windows will show "8.8.8." until the diagnostics are
complete (indicating the unit is ready to operate). The values shown will be the previous
settings used.
Kreativ Mach 5.0 and Mach 5.0 PLUS systems provide a controlled mixture of
powder particles in a dry air stream and delivers this mixture through a nozzle.
Three primary paths are provided for the air supply within the unit. One is to the
Exhaust Control Valve, another to the Abrasive Control Valve, and the third is through
the Mixing Chamber and the Abrasive Control Valve Tube to the nozzle. In the mixing
chamber, the stream of dry air is mixed with powder particles.
When the Air switch is set to "On", the On/Off Air Valve Switch allows the air to flow
to the Mixing Chamber. With the footswitch depressed, the Abrasive Control Valve is
opened. This opens the path for the stream of powder particles from the Mixing
Chamber to the nozzle. The Beam Intensity and Particle Energy can be adjusted to
provide optimum powder flow.
The air stream combined with abrasive powder has the ability to cut and etch tooth
structure and ceramic. The abrasive powder/air stream is directed through a light,
flexible hose to the handpiece for precise cutting. Various nozzles and handpieces are
offered with different orifice sizes and angles to enable the practitioner to accomplish
specific tasks. In addition, a selection of abrasive powder is available. Nozzle and
abrasive powder types are listed in Chapter 9.
CAUTION: The unit should only be powered down with the Air control in
"Standby" mode.
NOTE: The unit will automatically go into "Standby" if left unattended for approximately
10 minutes.
When the Power switch is set to Off, the unit automatically bleeds off the internal air
pressure.
WARNING: Do not attempt to open the doors of the unit with power turned on!
