3 Introduction Figure 1: “LASER STOP” button Observe all labels on the laser unit. WARNING Operation of this laser unit by unauthorized persons must be prohibited in or- der to prevent incorrect or improper use. WARNING Never direct the laser beam or the aiming beam toward the eyes or the thyroid gland of a person.
Transport and storage 3.3.1 Transport and storage The SIROLaser is supplied in a case that ensures proper and easy transport. However, please observe the following: CAUTION Do not leave the laser unit in a car parked in the sun. The temperature inside the car can reach levels that may damage its components.
This can be achieved for example by switching off the laser unit after use, so that the electronic access key must be entered prior to further operation. Set up the SIROLaser laser unit properly and completely before putting it into operation (see chapter 4).

3 Introduction CAUTION Never allow dust or dirt to enter the optical fiber socket and the optical system. Otherwise, the unit may be permanently damaged CAUTION Always protect the optical fiber socket as well as the optical fiber itself with the special protection caps.
4 Installation Installation If national or local legal regulations require that the installation of the SIROLaser be performed by specialized personnel, these regulations must be complied with. WARNING The handpieces and the tips are supplied non-sterile, you must clean, disin- fect and sterilize these products prior to first use and prior to each subsequent use.

The installation must be performed by a qualified electrician who is also re- sponsible for the installation and maintenance of the electrical system to which the SIROLaser is connected. Please request the technical data sheet with wiring diagram for installation of the interlock device.
The degree of protection of the foot switch is IPX5. Therefore, this foot switch may not be used in hospital operating rooms. Please contact Sirona Dental Systems LLC or your local dental distributor if you want to use the laser unit to- gether with the foot switch in a hospital OR operation theatre.
4 Installation Connection of the finger switch Unscrew the distal part of the handpiece. Figure 7: Distal part of the handpiece Mount the finger switch. Figure 8: Distal part with finger switch Screw the distal part of the handpiece back onto the rest of the handpiece.
The SIROLaser optical fibers have a standard SMA-905 connection and can be used only with the SIROLaser in the spectral range of 970nm ± 15 nm. If optical fibers from other manufacturers are used, physical properties such as tensile strength and transmission behavior may vary.
Tapered part with slot Cylindrical part NOTICE The SIROLaser detects that the optical fiber is also properly connected only if it is connected to the connector. If the connector or the optical fiber is missing, an error message is output.
If the aiming beam signal produces an evenly illuminated, circular beam pattern, remove the attached distal seal by cutting it off with a pair of scissors. This results in the expiration of Sirona Dental Systems GmbH's liability for any mechanical damage to the optical fiber.
Page 25
If you cannot detect any damage on the optical fiber and the signal of the aiming laser is not visible with the new optical fiber either, turn off the laser and contact Sirona Dental Systems GmbH, your local dental distributor or your authorized service center.
4 Installation Insert the optical fiber in to the handpiece. Figure 18: Inserting the optical fiber into the handpiece Insert the desired curved tip by applying pressure and twisting it. CAUTION Do not use the 320 µm fiber or one larger in combination with the 60° tip! CAUTION Check the tip for damage before inserting it.
Power supply connection CAUTION The SIROLaser may only be operated with the Sinpro MPU50-105 power sup- ply. Operation with other power supplies may result in failure or destruction of the laser unit. Using power supplies other than the recommended one results in invalidation of the approval of the entire unit and loss of the warranty granted by Sirona Dental Systems GmbH.
The temperature of the laser diode is < 5 °C or > 90 °C; or the temperature sensor is defective. Adapt the SIROLaser to room temperature over a period of 2 hours. If this message nevertheless still appears, contact your dealer or an authorized Customer Service Department.

We recommend performing this check at least once a week. To ensure precise control of the efficiency and perfect functioning of your SIROLaser unit, we recommend you to perform a calibration at three different power levels: The SIROLaser performs a self-calibration, during which the system will check whether the parameters responsible for laser emission are correct.
Switch on the SIROLaser and go to the “SETUP AREA”. Select “SERVICE”. Check to see that the fiber is neatly cut, and that the laser beam projects a red circle.
