Decade 1011 Chair

OPERATION About Your Decade 1011 Chair Your Decade 1011 Dental Chair is an electronically controlled, hydraulically powered dental chair that uses one of the quietest hydraulic pumps available. The pump powers two hydraulic cylinders: one for base lift and one for chair back and toeboard tilt (see Figure 1).

TILT

LIFT

Figure 1. Lift and Tilt Operations

The low voltage microcomputer-based electronics module in your chair is capable of storing your preferred operating and patient entry/exit positions. Chair functions are controlled by the 8-Function Footswitch or optional touch pad (see Figure 2 or 2a on page 3). 2

Decade 1011 Chair Pre-Positions 1 and 2

Note When the right-rocker button is moved to a Pre-Position (or when 1 or 2 are pressed on the touch pad), the chair base and back go to the preset position. To stop the chair at any point, momentarily move any button on the footswitch (or press any button on the touch pad). To send the chair to a preset operating position (called Pre-Position), momentarily move the right-hand rocker button to either 1 or 2 (or press 1 or 2 on the touch pad). Pre-Positions 1 and 2 are programmed at the factory to move the chair to the same position. To change a Pre-Position locate the program button on the footswitch or touch pad (see Figures 2 or 2a on page 3). 1. Using the left-hand rocker button on the footswitch (or the arrow buttons on the touch pad), set the chair to the operating position that you prefer. 2. Press and release the program button. An audible tone will be emitted. Then, within four seconds, move the right-hand rocker button to the Pre-Position setting 1 or 2 (or press 1 or 2 on the touch pad) to store that position. You will hear an audible tone confirming that the Pre-Position function has been reprogrammed. 3. Check the programmed Pre-Position by manually moving the chair to another position. Then move the right-hand rocker to the Pre-Position (or press 1 or 2 on the touch pad) programmed in Step 2. The chair should move automatically to the position set in Step 1. 5

Decade 1011 Chair Optional Program Functions Position 3 (6 o’clock) on the footswitch righthand rocker button and button 3 on the touch pad are factory set in the Cuspidor/Return mode. In this mode, the chair back will rise to a pre-programmed upright position providing the patient access to the cuspidor. Momentarily selecting position 3 or pressing button 3 a second time lowers the chair back to its previous operating position. Position 3 or button 3 also allows for two optional functions: Pre-Position or Last Position. These functions are determined by two switches located on the chair controller board under the pump housing cover (see Figure 3 on Page 7). Using position 3 or button 3 in the Pre-Position mode allows you to place the chair in a desired position and recall it by selecting position 3 or pressing button 3. Last Position is a non-programmable function that simply moves the chair base and back to the previous position. Using this feature allows the chair to be moved back and forth between two positions by momentarily selecting position 3 or pressing button 3. To change the function of position 3 or button 3, use the following procedure: 1. Unplug the chair.

WARNING Hazardous AC voltages are present on the circuit board until you unplug the chair. Failure to unplug the chair can result in serious injury. 2. Using a 5⁄32-inch hex wrench, remove the pump cover. 3. Using a 5⁄64-inch hex wrench, remove the circuit board cover. 6

Decade 1011 Chair Auto Return (0) To send the chair to a preset entry/exit position, or Auto Return, momentarily move the right-hand rocker button to the 9 o’clock (0) position, or press the “0” button on the touch pad (see Figure 2 or 2a on page 3).

Note When moved, Auto Return (0) will cause the chair base and back to go to the preset entry/exit position. To stop the chair at any point, momentarily move any button on the footswitch or touch pad.

If you want to change the preset entry/exit position, first locate the program button on the footswitch or touch pad (see Figure 2 on page 3). 1. Using the left-hand rocker button on the footswitch (arrows on the touch pad), set the chair to the desired patient entry/exit position. 2. Press and release the program button. An audible tone will be emitted. Then, within four seconds, press the Auto Return (0) button on the footswitch or touch pad. You will hear an audible tone confirming that the chair has been reprogrammed. This stores your preferred patient entry/exit position in the Auto Return (0) function. 3. Check the Auto Return (0) function by using the manual controls to move the chair to another position. Move the right-hand rocker button to the Auto Return (0) position or press “0” on the touch pad. The chair should move automatically to the position you set in Step 1.

Headrest Drift Adjustment

HEADREST GLIDE BAR

Figure 8. Headrest Drift Adjustment

Note The back cover does not have to be removed to adjust glide bar tension. If the headrest drifts downward, or if you find the headrest difficult to move up or down, the glide bar tension must be adjusted (see Figure 8). Remove the headrest glide bar to access the adjusting screw. Using a Phillips screwdriver, adjust the glide bar tension. Turn the adjusting screw clockwise three to four revolutions to increase friction and hold the headrest more securely. Turn the screw counterclockwise three to four revolutions to decrease friction and allow the headrest to move up and down more freely. Reinstall the headrest and recheck glide bar tension. 12

Left/Right Conversion When combined with a conversion-compatible A-dec chair-mounted handpiece control system, your Decade 1011 chair allows you to convert for either left- or right-hand delivery. If you have a Radius™ Delivery System, go to page 15. 1. Lower the chair back, then disconnect the chair from the power source to prevent injury caused by accidental lowering of the chair. Lift the toeboard and secure the tilt roller assembly under the hook on the underside of the toeboard (see Figure 9). This will help support the toeboard. Place the armrests in their full down position.

Note Avoid rotating the post box in a complete circle since doing so could twist the lines inside the floor box. If you have a Decade Unit, remove the post box cover. Hold the post box to prevent it from falling. Use a 1⁄4-inch hex key to loosen the set screw located in the end of the post box nearest the post. Rotate the post box to the desired position. Then tighten the set screw and replace the post box cover.

Rotate the post box to the desired position. Then tighten the bolt and replace the covers. 6. Replace the self-contained water system bottle. Lower the toeboard, return the chair to the entry position and move the foot control to the other side of the chair. If you have a Radius® Delivery System, simply rotate the handpiece control and light arms to the desired position. The Radius’ unique bearing mount allows the delivery system to rotate around the toeboard in one continuous motion, eliminating the need for tools or fine adjustments.

Optional Duplex Outlet A duplex outlet is available. It may be installed on the chair mount arm (depending upon your equipment) or on the chair frame. Contact your authorized A-dec dealer for details.
