b) Insert the tester. c) After powered on, If the indicating bar indicates within ±1 bars away from the dial 0.0 the device functions normally [Picture 9]. If the indicating bar is outside the range, the de- vice cannot measure accurately. On this occasion, please contact authorized distributor or manufacturer for help.

Page 15
3.2.1 Locating the Pulp Chamber Method of operation: 1. Start to prepare an access cavity through enamel and dentin using an appropriate bur. 2. Isolate the tooth and dry the access cavity to ensure accurate readings. 3. Attach the lip hook to the patient and the probe clip to a endodontic explorer DG 16, etc.).
dentin with an ultrasonic device or carefully examine other areas where the orifice may lie. b) Reading 2.00 to 3.00: indicates a connection and the potential location of the orifice. The dentin at the location should be removed ultrasonically to reveal the canal orifice. c) Reading above 3.00: indicates the location of the orifice.

al has been cleaned. It is also necessary to get rid of the pulp and necrosis tissue. 4.1.8 The following cases are not suited for a normal measurement: a) The size of the root similar to the size of apical foramen. In this case, the measurement result of the length of the root canal will be shorter than its real because of the hypoplasia of the root [Picture 12].

It will cause an inaccuracy when the endo file touches metal crown [Picture 17]. metal crown condensation Picture 15 Picture 16 Picture 17 Sometimes, the results of the Apex Locator and X-rays do not meet each other, which is neither bdcause the machine is not normal, nor the photo is incorrect taken.The actual position of the apical foramen is different from the anatomical one, it is very common that the apical foramen slightly to the side of the root canal crowns.

Picture 18 Picture 19 Picture 20 Attention: a) When gripping the root canal with a canal file, please grip the upper of the metal part (near the root canal at the needle handle). If you grip the lower part (blade or moving part), it will wear the file clip.

Picture 21 Picture 22 4.2.5 When the file reaches the apex, adjust the rubber piece set on the endo file to the reference point (incisal edge or fossa edge), then pull out the endo file, measure the length between the top of the file and the rubber piece, and this is the working length of the tooth. It also can be use with the touch probe instead of file clip, when it is inconvenient to meas- ure the back teeth [Picture 23].

There are three sleep durations adjustable: 10 min, 20 min, and 30 min. The default setting sleep times is 20 min 4.2.9 Adjust the sound level.
