AirFlow®S1
Description of the electrical parts
This unit is equipped with a mains socket with fuses incor-
porated. The main switch ON/OFF is placed on the back
side of the unit.
The mains voltage (high voltage of 110, 220 or 240 V AC)
is converted into 24V AC (low voltage), by an internal trans-
former, to supply all the electrical components of the unit.

AirFlow®S1
Description of the hydraulic parts
AirFlow® S1 is equipped with a water lter at the entrance
of the water supply. Water circuit is made by blue hoses.
On the AirFlow®unit, the water passes through a water
lter then though a water regulator allowing the regulation
of the ow, and goes into the pneumatic module driven by
the electrovalve, the heater and the polisher handpiece via
the handpiece cord.

Description of the pneumatic parts
AirFlow® S1 unit is driven by a pneumatic footswitch. Internal air
circuit is made by yellow hoses.
It is equipped with an air lter at the entrance of the air supply.
The air passes through a regulator allowing the regulation of the
ow, and goes into the a set of two air lters before its entrance
into the powder bowl.
The pneumatic module for polisher, the pinch valve and the water
circuit are driven by the air circuit.

Description of the powder parts
The powder circuit is used on the AirFlow® system. The
powder circuit is made by a transparent hose.
The powder comes from the powder bowl and passes
through the pinch valve allowing the stop of the ow, and
goes into the polisher handpiece via the handpiece cord.

Assembly of the knob
The regulators and taps sent for After Sales Support
are ADJUSTED and TESTED to function correctly.
Don’t modify the adjustment before assembly.
Preparation of the regulator holder
Cut the three external pins coming from the moulding.
Lay down a lm of silicone paste on the contact surface
between the knob and the holder.
Assembly instructions
Put the knob (68) and the elastic washer (69) into the knob
holder of the regulator in such a way that the stop of the
knob is as close as possible to the stop of the knob holder
(on the left). Do not turn the axis of the regulator. The knob
should be able to turn in a clockwise direction (thus open-
ing the regulator).
Turn the knob anticlockwise (0o-15o) to join the 2 stops. The
regulator is now at minimum position.
Put the assembly into the upper casing of the unit (from
inside), the spot of the knob should be opposite to the spot
on the casing .
