SYSTEM OPERATION (Continued)

4. WATER BOTTLES — The AMC-15 incorporates a self-con-

tained pressurized water system which includes: two 1-liter

water bottles, a bottle select switch A and a bottle pressure

switch B . Use the bottle

select switch to direct flow

from either water bottle. The

bottle pressure switch allows

both bottles to be refilled

without draining the air tank.

(NOTE: Pressure is released

from both bottles; you cannot

remove one bottle while

using the other).

To refill the water bottles:

a. Toggle the bottle pressure switch B OFF to release pressure from both bottles.

b. Unscrew the bottles from the unit and fill with water. Never use saline as it will corrode the plumbing.

c. Screw bottles back into their fittings on the unit.

d. Toggle bottle pressure B ON to pressurize both bottles.

e. Select the bottle to be used with the bottle select switch A.

5. 3WAY AIR/WATER SYRINGE — Press the left button A to

screw D for water flow. Counterclockwise increases flow and

clockwise decreases flow.

6. WATER COOLANT — The HP 1 A and HP 2 B valves control water coolant flow to the HP-1 and HP-2 handpieces respectively. Switch ON the water coolant toggle on the foot control and switch ON the air coolant toggle on the side control panel. Lift the HP-1 handpiece from its holder and run at a midrange speed. Rotate the HP 1 water coolant flow knob clockwise until it seats softly (closed). Begin turning counterclockwise until a fine mist is visible. If a mist is not generated, see AIR COOLANT adjustment below. Repeat water coolant adjustment steps for the HP-2 handpiece using the HP 2 valve.

7. AIR COOLANT — Air coolant

(chip air) works in combina-

tion with the water coolant

setting to create a fine mist

for the working handpiece.

Make sure the water coolant

switch on the foot control

is switched ON and the air

coolant A is switched ON.

Operate a handpiece at a

midrange speed. Rotate the

air coolant flow knob B control clockwise until it seats softly.

Begin turning counterclockwise until a fine mist is visible.

Adjust air coolant in combination with water coolant for

optimum mist.

8. FLUSH TOGGLE — Use this toggle switch

to flush each handpiece and motor with

water. Flush each working instrument for

about 5 seconds after each patient, and

about 20 seconds at the beginning of

each day. To flush an instrument, remove

it from its holder and direct the spray

nozzle into a basin. Hold the flush toggle

A in the ON position for the desired

number of seconds, then release. (NOTE:

If water bottles empty while flushing, air

will be flushed through the lines).

9. HIGH AND LOW VOLUME VACUUMS — The AMC-15 is

equipped with a 5-liter waste

tank, a high volume evacua-

tor (HVE) A hose, and a low

volume saliva ejector B hose.

Both high and low volume

hoses operate simultane-

ously from the same vacuum

source. Use the valves on the

HVE hose and low volume B

hose to adjust the relative

vacuum pressure between

the two hoses, as needed.

The best vacuum performance will be achieved by closing the

saliva ejector valve when operating the HVE, or closing the

HVE valve when operating the saliva ejector.

10. WASTE INDICATOR — The

yellow LED A located on the

front panel will light up (or

flash) to indicate when the

waste tank is full, or the waste

tank sensor cable is discon-

nected. When the waste tank is full, the unit may cycle on and

off, or shut down completely, indicating the waste tank must

be emptied. See WASTE REMOVAL (page 11) to empty the

waste tank. See SETTING UP THE UNIT (page 8) for the

location of the waste tank sensor cable.

11. AUXILIARY WATER CONNECTION — An auxiliary water connection A is provided on the front panel of the AMC-15 A cart for connecting optional equipment. The water connection provides 35 psi (2.41 bar) of pressure.

MAINTENANCE AND STERILIZATION

1. WASTE REMOVAL — Empty the waste tank daily.

Waste removal steps: C
a. Open the waste compart-

ment door on the rear of

the unit.

b. Remove the end of waste

hose from tethered hose

clamp A , then direct the

waste hose to a suitable

drain.

c. Switch ON the waste purge pump B to empty the waste tank. It may take a minute before waste water begins to flow from the end of the hose.

d. Return the end of the waste hose into the clamp A , then pinch clamp closed to prevent leakage.

e. Check that peristaltic pump latch C is closed fully and waste hose clamp A is secured on waste tube to prevent vacuum leakage. Refer to label in waste compartment.

The type of amalgam separator used with the AMC-15 requires no settlement time before emptying the waste tank.

2. WASTE SYSTEM CLEANING — After emptying the waste tank each day, the waste system should be cleaned.
The waste system consists of:
· Waste tank · Waste discharge hose · HVE (high volume ejector) valve and vacuum line · Saliva ejector (low volume) valve and vacuum line
Cleaning steps:
a. Prepare 1 liter of a 1:10 bleach solution (1 part household bleach to 9 parts water).
b. Remove the disposable ends from both the HVE and saliva ejector valves.
c. Vacuum half of the bleach solution through the HVE valve, then the other half through the saliva ejector valve by putting the tip of each valve in the bleach solution.
d. Flush each valve and line by vacuuming 1/2 liter of clean water through each valve.
e. Empty the waste tank following the instructions in step 1 above.
f. Clean the outside of the ejector valves and hoses with a disinfectant solution.

3. AMALGAM SEPARATOR —

The amalgam separator A is

located in the waste compart-

ment. The separator filters

out particulate matter while

the waste water is being

pumped out of the unit. A

significant drop in waste dis-

charge pressure will occur

when the amalgam separa-

tor becomes full of solids.

Replacement amalgam sep-

arators (PN 730595) are avail-

able through Aseptico. Refer

to the label on the amalgam

separator for the address of

an approved amalgam recy-

cler. Replace the separator

by unscrewing the amalgam

separator retaining knob B

located under the top lid, B

and removing the amalgam

separator from the waste

compartment. NOTE: You can

operate the AMC-15 with the

bypass filter C installed in

place of the amalgam separa-

tor, where permitted.

4. AMALGAM SOLIDS TRAP — Replace the disposable amalgam solids trap routinely. The performance of the vacuum system will decrease significantly as the trap fills up with solids. The trap sits inside the central vacuum canister located under the top lid. Keep spare traps in stock. The AMC-15 uses standard 1 7/8″ traps (both open and closed type traps are compatible):
