2 Safety
Dürr Dental has designed and constructed this
unit so that when used properly and for the inten-
ded purpose it does not pose any danger to
people or property.
Despite this, the following residual risks can
remain:
– Personal injury due to incorrect use/misuse
– Personal injury due to mechanical effects
– Personal injury due to electric shock
– Personal injury due to radiation
– Personal injury due to fire
– Personal injury due to thermal effects on skin
– Personal injury due to lack of hygiene, e.g.
infection
2.1 Intended purpose
This device is a piezo-operated ultrasonic device
for use in dental applications. It is mainly used for
the treatment of periodontal defects. In addition,
the device is used in the area of prophylaxis, peri-
implantitis treatment as well as dental hygiene.
2.2 Indications
❯Periodontal conditions
❯Peri-implantitis
❯Hard supragingival and subgingival deposits
(calculus or concrement)
❯Soft supragingival and subgingival deposits
(plaque or biofilm)
2.3 Contraindication
Ultrasound vibrations can interfere with the func-
tion of heart pacemakers and defibrillators.
Patients with heart pacemakers or defibrillators
should not be treated with these instruments.
2.4 Intended use
The ultrasonic device is designed for use in
periodontology, for the removal of plaque and for
the cleaning of tooth surfaces. This is done via
cavitation, polishing, grinding and scraping. Fur-
ther assistance for the treatment can be provided
by using hydroxyl and/or fluorapatite as a polish-
ing agent in periodontology. Only agents
approved by the manufacturer may be used.
Application with hydroxyapatite and/or fluoroapa-
tite as polishing agent is not intended for Vector
Easy, Vector Easy Pro or Vector Scaler.
Scaler handpiece applications
– Subgingival and supragingival removal of den-
tal calculus and concrement
The piezo-ceramic drive of the Vector Scaler
allows efficient removal of deposits while provid-
ing the best and gentlest possible protection of
sensitive tissue structures. The ergonomic design
of the handpiece offers six long-lasting high per-
formance LEDs to provide the best possible illu-
mination even into areas that are difficult to see.
2.5 Improper use
Any use of this appliance / these appliances
above and beyond that described in the Installa-
tion and Operating Instructions is deemed to be
incorrect usage. The manufacturer cannot be
held liable for any damage resulting from incor-
rect usage. The operator will be held liable and
bears all risks.
2.6 General safety information

5 Operation
5.1 Handpiece
On the Scaler LED handpiece, the Vector basic
unit generates a spatial vibration of the instru-
ment tip (transverse to the instrument axis) with
an amplitude of approx. 20–120 mm.
During treatment using the Scaler handpiece,
fluid is applied as a constant stream. The amount
of water that comes out can be adjusted via the
operating panel.
6 LEDs are integrated into the front section of the
handpiece. As soon as the flexible foot switch is
switched on and "Power" is selected on the
operating panel, the LEDs light up.
The LEDs go out approx. 4 seconds after the
flexible foot switch is released.
5.2 Fluid container
The fluid level is monitored via a sensor. When
the level drops to a minimum level, the LEDs in
the area of the fluid container flash and a warning
signal sounds (3x).
5.3 Instrument change
The instrument can be screwed in or out using
the torque wrench integrated in the Scaler tool
kit.

Assembly
6 Requirements
The room chosen for installation must satisfy the
following requirements:
– Closed, dry room
– Clean, level and sufficiently stable subsurface
– There should be no large interference fields
present (e.g. strong magnetic fields) that could
interfere with correct operation of the unit.
– The required ambient conditions are satisfied
(refer to the "Technical Data").
7 Installation
7.1 Establishing the electrical
connections
The connection ports are located in the recess
on the rear of the unit.
Requirements:
üCorrectly installed power outlet in the vicinity of
the unit (max. length of mains cable 3 m)
üThe plug connection of the power supply is
freely accessible so that it can be quickly dis-
connected in the event of danger.
üMains voltage must match the information
shown on the type plate of the power supply
unit
üThe supply voltage of the power supply unit
matches the data on the type plate.
❯Plug in the connecting plug of the connecting
cable into the connecting socket of the unit.
❯Fit the correct country-specific adapter.
❯Plug the mains plug into the power outlet.

7.2 Connecting the flexible foot
switch
The flexible foot switch can be operated
using a foot switch cable or wirelessly.
LED PEDAL flashes in orange after the unit is
switched on:
– No cable connection between the unit and the
foot switch.
– Pairing not performed for wireless operation.
The LED will keep flashing until a cable connec-
tion is established or pairing is performed.
Operation with a cable
❯Plug the connector of the foot switch cable into
the connecting socket on the flexible foot
switch.
Click !
❯Plug the connector of the foot switch cable into
the connecting socket on the unit.
Wireless operation
If the flexible foot switch is to be operated wire-
lessly, pairing (synchronization/coupling) of the
flexible foot switch and the unit needs to be per-
formed during initial start-up.
In order to avoid interference in wireless
operation, we recommend that a maxi-
mum of 4 flexible foot switches is used
wirelessly within a single surgery.
If interference does occur during wireless
operation, we recommend using the flexi-
ble foot switch with foot switch cables.
Wireless operation is not possible if the
foot switch cable is connected to either
the unit or the flexible foot switch.
CAUTION
Risk of injury
Mixing up flexible foot switches can
cause malfunctions such as the acci-
dental operation of a different hand-
piece. This can cause injuries.
❯If multiple devices are used simultane-
ously in wireless operation, make sure
that the flexible foot switch that is
paired with the relevant device is
always used.
❯Make sure they are stored together as
well.
Performing pairing
üPlace the flexible foot switch ready.
üInsert a battery in the flexible foot switch,
"15.4 Inserting or changing the battery in the
flexible foot switch".
üDisconnect the foot pedal cable from the unit
and foot switch (if previously connected).
Before carrying out the pairing process,
make sure that no other Vector device
with a flexible foot switch is running dur-
ing the process within a range of around
10 m. Otherwise the connection may be
established incorrectly.

If nothing happens when the flexible foot
switch is operated, it is possible that the
foot switch being used is paired with a
different device. In this case cancel the
pairing and repeat the process.
Cancelling a pairing
Requirements:
üNo foot switch cable must be connected to
the device or to the flexible foot switch.
üThe orange PEDAL LED is not on or is not
flashing.
❯Switch off the device .
❯Touch the LIQUID operating panel, keep touch-
ing it and switch on the device .
Result:
When the orange PEDAL LED flashes, this shows
that the current pairing has now been cancelled.
8 Commissioning
8.1 Function check
To finish the initial start-up process, all of the
connections must be checked to make sure they
are securely seated and leak-tight.
Check for correct operation:
– Operating panel
– Flexible foot switch
– Visual and acoustic signals
8.2 Handover record
❯Carry out and document the instruction and
handover for the unit.

Usage
9 Components
9.1 Scaler handpiece
Overview
The Vector Scaler handpiece is suitable for the
efficient removal of dental calculus and of con-
crement.
The cooling channel runs to a point just before
the instrument tip. This offers the following
advantages:
– Less water used, therefore less aerosol forma-
tion.
– Less contamination.
– Better clarity.
– Easier aspiration.
– Better cooling, as the fluid flows directly over
the working tip.
During treatment using the Scaler handpiece,
fluid is applied as a constant stream.
