WARNING: This device has been tested and found
to comply with the emissions requirements of IEC
60601-1-2:2001-09. These requirements provide
reasonable protection against harmful electromag-
netic interference in a typical medical installation.
However, high levels of radio-frequency (RF) emis-
sions from electrical devices, such as cellular
phones, may disrupt the performance of this device.
To mitigate disruptive electromagnetic interference,
position this device away from RF transmitters and
other sources of electromagnetic energy.

• Remote Power Cord
• Autoclavable 10K Brushless Micro Motor
• Autoclavable Motor Holder
• AE-7P Foot Switch (971-S)
• Handpiece (Purchased separately)

2.
SETTING UP THE UNIT:
1. Unpack the console and check that the unit
is compatible with the voltage from the
power source. Use the 110V unit for 110-
120V 60Hz voltages, and the 220V unit for
220-250V 50Hz voltages. For alternative
voltages (220V-250V), confirm that the
type of plug cap is correct for the country
of usage and carries the proper certifica-
tion markings. The correct cord is shipped
with the console.
2. Attach the remote power cord to the back
of the console and plug into a grounded
electrical receptacle.
3. Connect the M-8 10K motor to the recepta-
cle on the lower front panel of the console.
4. Attach the appropriate “E” Type handpiece
to the motor, i.e. a 1:8 reduction contra
angle.
5. Attach the supplied foot control to the con-
nector on the back of the unit marked
“Foot Switch”. An On/Off type or a variable
speed type foot control may be used.

NOTE: The hand motor will remain sufficiently cool
during the normal intermittent use (IEC 601 defined
frequency of use) for which it was designed.

OPERATION FUNCTIONS:
1. Power Switch - Controls power on/off to
console. When turned on, console display
should light.
2. RPM - Controls speed of motor and hand-
piece. Push the up arrow to increase
speed and the down arrow to decrease
speed. A visual display shows actual
RPM. For complete display accuracy, the
Ratio Selector must exactly match the ratio
of the handpiece being used. All settings
are held in memory even after unit is
turned off.
3. Forward/Reverse - Determines the rota-
tion of the motor and handpiece. A red
L.E.D. light and audible beeper indicate the
reverse rotation.
4. Ratio Selector - Calibrates the RPM dis-
play to read accurately for up to four differ-
ent handpiece ratios. Push the ratio
up/down arrow until the indicator light
matches the handpiece you are using.
Different handpiece ratios are required to
obtain different low speed ranges used in
endodontic procedures.
1:1 1500 - 9500 RPM
1:8 100 - 950 RPM
1:16 50 - 600 RPM
1:64 20 - 150 RPM
SPEED RANGES:
The speed ranges
with a 10K motor
are as follows:
*Speed ranges will be reduced when
using the Torque Control in positions 1, 2,
or 3. Full speed ranges are realized only
in the maximum torque control setting.

5. Torque Control - Allows user to adjust
torque limit from maximum to minimum
levels, thus reducing the risk of instrument
breakage. Push the Torque up/down
arrow to select the desired torque level.
Torque settings 1, 2, and 3 utilize an ‘Auto-
Reverse’ motion when torque limit is
reached to aid in freeing a stalled instru-
ment. Once the instrument is released,
the motor resumes rotation in the previ-
ously programmed direction.
Setting the torque control to the 'MAX'
position cancels the ‘Auto-Reverse’ func-
tion and operates the motor in a continu-
ous 360° rotation at maximum torque.
Operating speed and torque level for each
ratio position are stored in the computer
memory.
For most endodontic root canal applica-
tions, a 1:8 reduction contra angle is nor-
mally used. Proper contra angle mainte-
nance, including cleaning and lubrication,
are essential to minimize torque losses
when using the torque reduction settings.
By adjusting the torque control to reduced
limits for each instrument size, and operat-
ing at constant RPM, the risk of instrument
breakage is greatly reduced.

OPERATION:
After the unit has been set up and you have
made yourself familiar with the operation func-
tions, you are ready for operation as follows:
1. Turn the power switch on the lower left
front of the console to the ‘ON’ position.
The front panel display will light.
2. Attach a sterile handpiece to the motor
and set the Ratio Selector to match the
gear ratio of the handpiece being used
(i.e. 1:8 for a 1:8 handpiece, or 1:16 for a
1:16 handpiece).
3. Adjust the up/down arrows on the RPM
display to the desired operating speed on
the RPM readout.
NOTE: The RPM display indicates true
instrument speed when the Ratio Selector
is in the appropriate position. For display
accuracy, make sure the Ratio Selector
matches the actual handpiece ratio.
4. Adjust the ‘Torque Control’ to the desired
operating level. Begin at minimum levels
when using endodontic rotary instruments.
5. Depress the foot control to activate motor
and begin operation.

STERILIZATION:
WARNING - Sterilize the motor
between each patient use.
WARNING - Use of a sterilization
method or temperatures other than
what are prescribed may damage
the motor or present a risk of cross-
contamination between patients.
CAUTION - Do not soak or
submerge the motor in any liquid.
STERILIZATION PROCEDURE:
Pre-clean
1) Thoroughly brush off any visible
signs of debris from the AE-4B motor
and cord.
2) Thoroughly clean the device with a
moist cloth or towel to remove any
remaining signs of debris.
Sterilize
3) Select one of the three following
sterilization methods (A. B. or C.):
Wrapped Sterilization – Place in an
appropriately sized sterilization pouch
and seal it.
A. Gravity Wrapped:
• Minimum Temperature:
132° C (270° F)
• Full Cycle Time: 20 minutes
• Minimum Dry time: 30 minutes
B. Prevacuum Wrapped:
• Preconditioning Pulses: 3
• Minimum Temperature:
132° C (270° F)
• Full Cycle Time: 4 minutes
• Minimum Dry time: 40 minutes
Flash Sterilization – For immediate
use only.
C. Gravity Unwrapped:
• Minimum Temperature:
132° C (270° F)
• Full Cycle Time: 10 minutes
No dry time is required for flash
sterilization.
MOTOR & CORD ASSEMBLY:
• The entire motor and cord assembly is
fully autoclavable. Before autoclaving
the assembly, remove any handpiece
from motor and install autoclaving plugs
into the end of the motor and motor cord
connector as shown below. The plugs
are supplied with the motor and cord.
• Loosely coil the motor cord when
autoclaving. Avoid sharply bending the
cord when autoclaving.
NOTE: Call Aseptico, Inc. at 1-425-426-
5913 for any questions or clarifications
on this sterilization procedure.
• Always install the autoclaving plugs into motor
and motor connector before autoclaving.
• If the autoclaving plug for the motor becomes
difficult to remove or install, apply silicone grease
or similar lubricant to the O-rings.
Turn black connector ring only
