EndoPilot
*related to the additional module “CoPilot” - 12 - 609 2201 v12 www.schlumbohm.de
2.6. Switch on, Standby, Switch off, Battery-Operation*
Connect the foot switch (3) with the power supply (2). Put the power supply into the socket (green LED in the power
supply has to light up). Now, the plug of the foot switch has to be plugged into the black connection (1b) of the EndoPilot.
If the device is not being used for some time, it automatically switches to the sleep-mode. The display light is turned off.
The device is turned on again by a short step on the foot switch or touch of the touch-display. The menu displayed as
last will be displayed again.
In order to avoid waste of electricity in the standby-mode, the EndoPilot should be disconnected if it will not be used for a
longer period.
*CoPilot:
When expanding the device with the „CoPilot“ module, the cable foot switch (3) of the EndoPilot basic device becomes
obsolete. For charging, the power supply has to be connected to the CoPilot with the help of the adapter cable (22). The
device can be switched on with the switch on the front of the device. If the charge drops to 10% of the capacity, the
CoPilot must be loaded. Otherwise, the unit turns off to avoid a total discharge of the battery and destruction.
Charge the battery periodically, the LED at the front of the device shows the charging level (red LED means charging is
necessary). If the battery is fully charged (constant green LED), the power supply may be plugged off.
The display switches off after several minutes of idling. By touching the display or by pressure on the wireless foot
switch, the display will switch on again. The supplementary module CoPilot will completely switch off after 10, 20 or 40
minutes of idling, it can only be re-activated by the switch at the front of the device. (The turn-off time can be selected via
the menu).
2.7. Preparation of the Root Canal – Motor and Contra-Angle
The EndoPilot contra-angle (5) is mounted on the motor (6). Use only contra-angles with 1:1 gear. The integrated Apex
length measurement (s. chapter 4.7.1.) via the contra-angle (during the preparation) does only work in connection with
the original-EndoPilot contra-angle
.
If the contra-angle was changed or sterilized, it is necessary to run the calibration-process under the menu item
C a li br at io n . Contra-angles may only be changed upon standstill of the motor (s. chapter 7).
Operating Remarks:
Before starting the device, please check if the motor is tightly snapped into the contra-angle.
Do not put any pressure on the push-button of the contra-angle because this may cause frictions
or mismeasurements!
Depending on the shape of the root canal, the Endo-files are bent and stressed during usage. The device reduces the
risk of file-breakage; however, this danger cannot be eliminated completely. Please ensure that you know the allowed
torques value of the instruments. Select the correct file. Never use deformed or damaged files!
The menu offers a variety of settings. The device permits to individually change all parameters like speed, torque and
operation mode, etc.. Parameters, which deviate from the manufacturers settings may lead to file
fractures and other damages. The company Schlumbohm
®
will not be liable for damages deriving from operations
deviating from the manufacturers settings.
To avoid file-breakage, please pay attention to the following points:
• Never use pressure to insert the file or to move it forward.
• Nickel-titanium files also break due to material fatigue. Only prepare as many canals as allowed by the
manufacturer of the files.
• In order to use NiTi-instruments effectively, experience and practice are indispensible.
• Practice on extracted teeth or Endo-plastic blocks.
LED Motor: GREEN: The torque is below 80% of admissible load
RED : The torque is above 80% of admissible load
