This section includes basic operating instructions for your A-dec 500 delivery system. For touchpad operation, refer to “Touchpad Controls” on page 9.

Power The delivery system has two power on/off locations: (1) the power on/off button on the chair, and (2) the master toggle on the right side of the control head.

Master Toggle The master toggle controls the power to the delivery system as well as other modules mounted to the chair. Flip the toggle to turn the system on or off. To prolong the life of your equipment, turn off the master toggle when the delivery system is not in use. NOTE

A-dec 500 Delivery Systems Instructions For Use

Handpiece Activation To prevent damage to your delivery system, do not use saline solution, mouth rinses, or any chemical solutions not specified in this guide. Use a water supply system separate from your delivery system if you need to use these types of solutions. As a general rule, you can use drinking water as source water in your delivery system.

CAUTION

For complete instructions on water usage in your A-dec systems, refer to the A-dec Self-Contained Water System Instructions For Use (p/n 86.0609.00) included with your equipment. The handpieces automatically activate when you lift a handpiece from its holder or pull the Continental whip forward. Press the foot control to operate the activated handpiece.

Foot Control The foot control regulates drive air to the active handpiece. It provides an air signal that activates air coolant and water coolant flow. The foot control is equipped with a wet/dry toggle and a chip blower/accessory button (see Figure 6). To turn the water coolant on or off, use your foot to flip the wet/dry toggle. NOTE The foot control has additional functionality when used with a deluxe touchpad or an intraoral camera. The wet/dry toggle operates as a three-way switch with the air and water coolant buttons on the touchpad. Figure 6. Foot Control Chip Blower/ Accessory Button

Wet/Dry Toggle

Chip Blower / Accessory Button The chip blower/accessory button operates as either a chip blower or an accessory button (see Figure 6). The chip blower function sends a jet of air through the handpiece without activating the handpiece bur. The accessory button function operates integrated accessory devices. For more details, see your authorized A-dec dealer.

Basic Operation

Chair Lockout The lockout feature inhibits the operation of the dental chair when you remove a handpiece from its holder and step on the delivery system foot control. To resume normal chair operation, lift your foot off of the foot control disk.

Flexarm Brake The flexarm brake will hold up to 8 lb. [3.6 kg] of weight on the control head. The thumbactuated brake restricts vertical movement but allows for side-to-side horizontal positioning of the control head (see Figure 7). Figure 7. Flexarm Brake

Touchpads The A-dec 500 delivery system touchpads centralize treatment room controls into one touch surface. Some touchpad buttons have indicators to alert you if the operation is functioning. For complete instructions on touchpad operation, see “Touchpad Controls” on page 9.

Accessory Holder The optional accessory holder is a convenient location for additional accessories like a curing light or intraoral camera. The holder installs on the right or left side of the control head in the unused touchpad position (see Figure 8). Figure 8. Optional Accessory Holder

Self-Contained Water System The self-contained water system supplies water to handpieces, syringes, and cuspidor cupfill. The system includes a 2-liter, quick-disconnect water bottle that mounts to the delivery arm or support center and offers you an easy way to control the quality of your treatment water (see Figure 9). For complete instructions on water usage in your A-dec 500 system, refer to the A-dec Self-Contained Water System Instructions For Use (p/n 86.0609.00) included with your equipment. Figure 9.
