4.2 Integrated Apex Locator
ApexPilot All-In-One is equipped with an integrated apex locator. It can
be used in the following two ways: Combined length determination by
using the contra angle and lip clip (determination with the rotating le)
and the stand alone determination using the separate le clamp and lip
clip, which excludes the contra angle and is recommended with manual
les.

15
Warning
• Combined length determination by using the given contra angle and lip clip only
accurate results when using the original contra angle by Beyes supplied
• Use only endodontic NiTi les with a metal handle for this type of length determination.
• In some clinical cases accurate length determination is impossible! ( for details see
chapter x “Troubleshooting”)
• Electrical length determination uses minimal auxiliary current. The values used in the
ApexPilot All-In-One are far below the values required in IEC 60601-1-1. Nevertheless,
in rare cases electrical sensation during the length determination can occur. In this
case, do not continue the treatment with this patient.
4.2.1 Modes of Root apex locator Control Endo-motor mode
• There are two types of work mode related to Root Apex Locator.
Mode, Independent Endo motor, Apex locator is invalid.
Mode, Apex locator controls motor for rotations
• Can be made by the Power key to select one of the above work mode after power on.
Mode Mode
Independent
Endo motor
Apex locator controls
motor for rotations
NOTICE
• In working mode, the motor will automatically rotate, stop, reverse depends on the
length of the root canal measured by the apex locator.

16
4.2.2 Useful tips for accurate length determination
• Gloves and rubber dam are recommended in order to isolate the tooth.
• Dry the access cavity with the suction pump or a cotton-pellet.
• Avoid any direct contact between the contra angle le and mucosa. Use the silicone
sleeve for the contra angle.
Notice
• Save settings automatically
• This mark for the apical is available in all working modes, including QS mode and the
working mode of motor controlled by the apex locator once set.
• Sound cue prompts all apical lines as vertices
4.2.3 Optional Apical Line
• This feature is convenient for users to make marks of the
relative distance from apical point
• The range of markers is 5 scales, from 0.0 to 0.5
According to user-labeled apical scale, when reaching marker
position, better visual and sound cues
Complete the following steps to change the marks of apical
point
• Turn on the power of main unit
• Choose apex locator only for the working mode
• Press “+/-“ to change the marks
Set the apical line to 0.3
As shown on the right, when it is in use, at the relative value
of 0.3 from the point of the root tip, it has been displayed as
the point of root tip and it would be automatically reversed
and exited.

4.2.4 Operation of Apex Locator—Auto-Start, Auto-Stop, and Auto-Exit
We are committed to produce safe and reliable medical equipment for the doctors, so
we recommend doctors to use the apex locator to control the motor mode.
4.2.4.1 Connecting
Use the contra angle that covered by the silicone sleeves for combined length
determination.
• Connect the lip clip cable to the Micro USB port at the bottom of the central unit.
Insert the lip clip into the connector at the end of the cable. Ensure the connection is
solid.
• Put the pip clip in the patient’s mouth (we recommend positioning it on the opposite
side of the tooth undergoing therapy).
For combined length determination
4.2.4.2 Application steps
• Press “POWER” to turn on the machine
• Press POWER key to select the mode of endo motor controlled by the
Root Apex Locator or stand-alone Apex Locator

• The warning will sound rapidly
• Display on the screen: Root canal indicator scale full grid, the root canal indicator
data: APEX, -1 non-stop ashing
The apex locator cannot be worked on due to malfunction as the above state.
Possible causes are:
• One of the connecting cables might be damaged or improperly connected.
• Unsolid connection between the apex locator cable and the unit.
• Too quick or improper contact between either the lip clip and le inserted into the
contra angle or between lip clip and le in the le clamp.
• Operation: After setting the above parameters, connecting measuring line, detecting
measurement loop, hang the lip hook on the patient’s lip, the treatment can be
started

• Putting the le into the root canal, the le will self-acting rotate as setting speed,
torque. Or press ON/OFF to drive the le to rotate
• when the le approaching the apical foramen, the root canal relative value will be
shown as 0.2, then the motor will automatically slow down, the root canal relative
value which will be slower and the minimum speed will be 140 PRM. When it
reaches to the apical foramen, the motor will be auto-reversed.
• When the le reverse and the root canal relative value will be shown as 0.5, the
motor will rotate as the setting speed, torque, direction and cycle.
Response of alarm:
With the le depth, alarm sound from slow to fast, and then to APEX. The alarm sound
remain constant, however, the alarm sounds rapidly when it is over the apical, over
apical the alarm sound rapidly changes
Screen display:
The root canal relative value changes with the le depth.
APEX icon will appear when it reaches the apical, the root canal scale will be full, and
the root canal relative value will be 0;
APEX icon will ash when it reaches over the apical, the root canal scale will be full, and
the root canal relative value will be -1.
