The Models 1540 and 1550 carts feature the Asepsis
Automatic Control for three handpieces mounted
on a mobile cart. In addition to the three handpiece
controls, the Model 1540 also comes with Assistant’s
Instrumentation. All of the controls used in normal
operation are located on the underside of the cart head,
where they are sheltered from aerosol contaminants.
The adjustable height cart head is mounted on a stable
U-frame. The top of the cart is hinged to permit easy
access to the internal components.
The dental delivery system is a combination of
dental equipment components used to carry,
position and control the devices used in the practice of
dentistry. Delivery systems provide for handpieces and
deliver air, water, vacuum and low voltage electricity
to the dental patient. Delivery systems generally have
several components including a control head, vacuum
utilities, assistant’s utilities, a multifunction syringe and
Intended Use - Dental Cart & Unit
a junction box. Cart Delivery Units are mounted on a
mobile cart.
Air, water, vacuum, drain and electrical power
generally enter the system through the junction box.
Shut-off valves, pressure regulators, transformers and
other devices are located in the junction box. Tubing
delivers air, water and vacuum to the control head and
to the dental handpieces and multifunctional syringe.
Low voltage electricity may be delivered to the control
head for operating items such as scalers, electric
handpieces and ber optic light sources.
The control head contains adjustment knobs for
controlling handpiece pressure, and the amount of
coolant air and water. The dentist controls the rate and
ow through the pressure applied to the foot control or
syringe buttons. There may be a low voltage control
device to control chair positioning and turn the inter-oral
light on and off.
The dental delivery system is classied as Class 1 device under rule FDA CFR 21, Class II device under Health Canada
guidelines and a Class IIa device under rule 11 of the MDD 93/42/EEC of Annex IX. Accordingly, the provisions of Annex
II apply if the e-motor option is chosen.
0473
Handpiece Compatibility
This delivery system is designed to be compatible with air driven handpieces that conform to ISO 13294
and electric handpieces that conform to ISO 11498.
For the air driven handpieces, tubing is available in standard 4 or 6 hole Midwest style with or without
light source.
For electric handpieces, dental units will be equipped with an “E-type” coupler and cord set.
Other tubings may be available upon request.
The end user will have specied the preferred type prior to ordering from the factory. It is the responsibility
of the end user to procure appropriate handpieces for use with this delivery system. Certain countries
may have particular regulations regarding which handpieces are acceptable for use; e.g. countries in
the European Union require handpieces which meet the requirements of the Medical Devices Directive
93/42/EEC. See your local dealer for additional information.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

8042300 r4
FEATURES, CONTROLS AND OPERATIONS
The Handpiece Control Head
All of the operating controls are located on the
underside of the control head, where they are
better sheltered from airborne contaminants.
The Master On-Off Toggle activates the air
and water shut-off valves which control the air
and water supplies to the unit. The toggle is
located on the left side, near the front.
Be sure to turn the Master On-Off Toggle OFF
whenever the treatment room is unoccupied.
The Water Coolant Flow Controls are
located beneath the front of the control
housing. There is a separate control for
each handpiece, and they are arranged to
correspond with the positions of the handpiece
holders.
The Air Coolant Flow Control is located on
the right side of the control head. This control
affects the ow of coolant air to all of the
handpieces.
The Handpiece Flush Toggle is used to
ush the coolant water through the handpiece
tubings. This is a momentary toggle, located
on the left side of the control head, to the rear
of the Master On-Off Toggle.
Handpiece Activation
1500 Models:
The Handpiece Autoholders contain actuator
valves that allow the operation of whichever
handpiece is lifted from its holder, without the
need for a manual selector of any sort.
NOTE: Some models may not come
equipped with the handpiece control head.
Refer to the sections of this manual that only
pertains to your particular unit.
CAUTION: The maximum weight capacity
for the control head is 3 lbs.
Do not exceed this capacity.
Failure to do so may result in
patient/user injury and/or unit
damage.
Control Head
CAUTION: When not in use, turn the master
switch to the ‘off’ position. The
master switch is an important
safety device that must be
properly utilized to prevent
accidental ooding.

042300 r4
Handpiece Water Coolant
The water coolant characteristics vary
signicantly from one handpiece to another, so
individual ow controls are provided. Perform
the following steps to adjust the water coolant
for each handpiece.
1. After adjusting the air coolant as
described above, ip the wet-dry toggle
on the foot control ON (toward the blue
dot). Install a bur in the handpiece for
which you are making this adjustment.
2. Turn the water coolant ow control knob
clockwise to its stop. Press on the foot
control to run the handpiece at normal
operating speed. Gradually open the
ow control (counterclockwise) until a
ne mist appears around the bur.
3. This setting achieves optimum cooling,
while minimizing the creation of
potentially hazardous aerosols.
FEATURES, CONTROLS AND OPERATIONS
Handpiece Air Coolant
The air coolant ow control will affect all of the
handpiece positions in unison. Since the air
coolant characteristics of most handpieces are
similar, one setting is normally acceptable
for all of your handpieces.
NOTE: that some handpieces draw
their air coolant from the drive air.
These include any handpiece that uses
a 2-hole handpiece tubing, as well
as some that have a coaxial swivel
connector. These handpieces will not be
affected by the air coolant adjustment.
CAUTION: Do not activate syringe while tip
is in direct contact with skin.
CAUTION: When installing and using
instruments and attachments,
refer to all manufacturer’s
instructions and recommenda-
tions before operating instru-
ments.

10 042300 r4
The Foot Control (All Models)
The unit is equipped with wet-dry, variable speed, disc type foot controls. Foot pressure on any part
of the foot control disc controls the ow of air to the active handpiece. A signal relay within the foot
control simultaneously activates the air and water coolant.
The Water Coolant On-Off Toggle, or wet-
dry toggle, interrupts the ow of water coolant
to the handpieces when you are performing
a procedure that requires dry cutting. Flip the
toggle toward the blue dot to activate water
coolant.
The Optional Chip Air Button on the
foot control provides a convenient means
of blowing loose debris from the prep
area without moving hands or changing
instruments.
FEATURES, CONTROLS AND OPERATIONS
Coolant Toggle

042300 r4
Drive Air Pressure
Maximum handpiece speed is controlled by
adjusting the drive air pressure. The adjusting
screws are located inside the control head.
There is a separate adjusting screw for each
handpiece.
NOTE:
The drive air gauge under the control head cover reads pressure at the control block.
Because of the normal restrictions in tubings and connectors, the pressure delivered
to the handpiece will be about 5 psi less than shown on this gauge. Take this into
account when using the built-in gauge.
Alternatively, a more accurate reading may be attained by using a gauge that screws
onto the connector, right at the handpiece.
1. Raise the hinged cover by removing
security screws and expose the
internal components.
2. Locate the drive air gauge under the
control head cover, and the drive air
adjusting screws on the control block.
3. Install a bur in the handpiece you are
going to adjust. The adjusting screws
should correspond in sequence with
the positions of the handpieces on the
hanger bar. Use a small straight-slot
screwdriver to make the adjustment. Set
handpiece pressures to manufacturing
specications.
CAUTION: Refer to the handpiece
manufacturers’ instructions
for recommended drive
air pressure. Exceeding
the manufacturers’
recommendation may damage
the handpiece.
Obtaining Technical Literature

CLEANING, DISINFECTING & STERILIZATION
IMPORTANT: Do not use powdered cleansers, scouring pads or abrasive scrubbers
on any of the painted, plastic or metal surfaces of this dental unit. To remove dried-on
material, use a soft-bristled brush and a solution of mild detergent.
Cleaning Equipment can be cleaned with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. A variety of surface disinfectants
are available for use in dental treatment rooms. Some of these can cause discoloration of painted, plated or anodized
surfaces with repeated use. This can be minimized by careful adherence to the disinfectant manufacturer’s instructions
and by frequent washing with soap and water.
The Manufacturer strongly advocates the barrier
technique be used whenever possible to preserve the
nish and appearance of the equipment. Wherever
possible disposable barriers should be used and
changed between patients. The barrier technique will
ensure maximum long term durability of the surfaces
and nishes of the equipment.
Unacceptable Disinfectants Conditionally Acceptable Disinfectants*
These disinfectants will harm the surface nishes of
dental equipment and are not recommended. Use of
these products will void your warranty.
These disinfectants have been found to be the least
harmful to the equipment surfaces by our test methods.
Disinfection & Sterilization
Infection Control in the dental ofce continues to
be a high priority for our customers and end users.
OSHA, the ADA and the CDC are also involved in this
complex issue. The Manufacturer will not attempt to
specify the required intervals for disinfection nor can
it recommend the overall best surface disinfectant.
Please refer to the Infection Control Recommendations
published by the American Dental Association for
further information. The question is often asked, “What
should I use to disinfect my dental unit, chair and light?”
This question is more complex than it seems because
of the wide variety of products on the market as well
as formulations of the products changing to meet the
needs of increased asepsis.
Barrier Technique
Chemical Disinfection
Regardless of the chemical disinfectant used, it is
imperative that the equipment be thoroughly washed
with mild soap and warm water at least once per day.
This wash down will minimize the harmful effects
of chemical disinfectant residues being allowed to
accumulate on the equipment. When using chemical
disinfectants, always pay strict attention to the
manufacturer’s disinfectant directions. When using
concentrated disinfectants, measure the concentrate
carefully and mix according to package directions.
Disinfectant solutions that are relatively harmless
to surfaces at their recommended strengths can be
corrosive at higher than recommended dilution ratios.
CAUTION: Only disinfect by wiping, no spray
disinfection. Please be aware that Pelton
& Crane expressly rejects any claims for
warranty or damages when using other
cleaning and disinfections solutions.
CAUTION: *The Manufacturer makes no representation
as to the disinfectant efcacy of these products.
We make no warranty expressed or implied that
these disinfectants will not damage the surface
nishes. Damage and discoloration of the sur-
face nishes are not covered under the warranty.
**Iodophor-based disinfectants will cause yellow staining on many surfaces.

CLEAN WATER SYSTEM
Maintenance
CAUTION: Disinfect new water bottle prior to
use.
The water bottle system is designed to optimize
the quality of water being delivered to the
handpieces and syringe. The Clean Water System
has three functions:
1. The system may be lled with ltered or
sterile water for patient use.
2. The system may be lled with disinfectant
for ushing the syringe and handpiece
tubings.
3. The unit can be purged with air to inhibit the
growth of biolm.
NOTE: When lling water bottle, leave air
gap at the top of bottle to allow bottle to
depressurize when removing it from unit.
Disinfecting the bottle:
Fill bottle with the 100 ml
disinfectant solution, shake
vigorously and let it settle for 10
minutes. Shake again, then rinse
twice with water.
We recommend 100 ml of
disinfectant solution for
each application per week.
Always use a fresh mixture
every week.
In order to maintain a truly asepsis water system, daily and weekly cleaning procedures must be
performed in a consistent, regular manner. Failure to do so could result in contaminated water lines
and a lower water quality than what is acceptable for patient use.
Once a month activate the City/Bottle Water Switch ensuring that the switch functions properly. If
any issues are found, call authorized service representative to replace the toggle valve.
Once a month activate the Foot Control toggle valve ensuring that the toggle valve functions
properly turning the water on and off to the handpiece. If any issues are found, call authorized
service representative to replace the toggle valve.

Once a month visually check handpiece tubing for wear and tear and any separation of the tubing
from the connector. If not then call authorized service representative to replace.
Once a month verify that the electro-torque motor handpiece water ow is functioning properly. If not
then call authorized service representative to replace gauze in oil collector.

15
042300 r4
The control system is equipped with a handpiece ush
system that allows you to periodically ush fresh water
through the handpiece tubings. The need for this is caused
by the low ow of water through the tubings during normal
use, which can lead to stagnation and the potential growth
of “biolm” contamination.
We recommend that you ush the tubings at the beginning
and end of each day. This may be done with or without
handpieces installed, but having handpieces on the
tubings will restrict ow, so a longer ush time will be
required.
MAINTENANCE
Care of the Unit
Asepsis Automatic Control
Control Head and Arm
The control head and post can be cleaned with a solution
of mild detergent and warm water. A variety of surface
disinfectants are available for use in dental treatment
rooms. Some of these can cause discoloration of painted,
plated or anodized surfaces with repeated use. This can
be minimized by careful adherence to the disinfectant
manufacturer’s instructions and by frequent washing with
soap and water.
IMPORTANT: Do not use powdered cleansers,
scouring pads or abrasive scrubbers on any of
the painted, plastic or metal surfaces of this den-
tal unit. To remove dried-on material, use a soft-
bristled brush and a solution of mild detergent.
Handpiece Flush — Daily Maintenance
The weekly cleaning procedure should be performed at
least once a week, preferably at the start of the week
before treating patients. If the unit is to be stored for any
length of time, perform the weekly maintenance routine
immediately before and after storage.
1. Purge the unit with air.
2. Flush the system with disinfectant solution:
a. Turn the unit off. Empty the water bottle, replacing
the water with cleaning solution (see Disinfectant
Solution, next page).
b. Hold the handpiece tubings and syringe over the
cuspidor or other suitable container. Turn the unit
on, wait a few moments, then operate the ush
toggle, syringe and foot control until a continuous
stream of solution is running through the system.
3. Allow the disinfectant to remain in the unit for 10 to 20
minutes, then ush the system again until all the
solution is used up.
WARNING: In order to mitigate the risk of cross-
contamination between patients,
disinfection and sterilization of handpieces
must occur after each dental procedure.
Refer to the handpiece manufacturer’s
instructions and recommendations for
sterilization or disinfection procedure.
All of the tubings are ushed simultaneously. Hold them together and direct them into a basin, sink or cuspidor to catch
the water. Flip and hold the ush toggle.
Allow adequate time for fresh water to make its way through the entire system and displace all standing water. The
American Dental Association and the Centers for Disease Control can provide additional recommendations regarding this
procedure, including information on frequency and duration of ushing and the use of antibacterial solutions in the self-
contained water system.
4. Purge the unit with air:
a. Hold the handpiece tubings and syringe over a
container. Turn the unit on, wait a few moments, then
operate the ush toggle, syringe and foot control until all
solution is purged from the system.
b. Turn the unit off. (If the unit will be stored, stop here.)
5. Fill with clean water:
a. With the unit turned off, remove the empty disinfectant
bottle. Replace with clean bottle and water.
b. Hold the handpiece tubings over a suitable container.
Turn the unit on, wait a few moments, then operate the
ush toggle until a continuous stream of water is owing
through the system. Replace handpieces and do the
same with the syringe. The unit is now ready for use.

We recommend that you draw a vacuum
system sanitizing solution which is non-toxic
and environmentally safe through each valve,
while opening and closing it.
At the End of Each Day
Draw clear water through each valve, while
opening and closing it several times. Leave
the valve open for several seconds to allow all
of the water to clear the hoses. The HVE and
Saliva Ejector tips should always be replaced
with sterile ones before each patient.
After Each Patient
Clean the external surfaces of the vacuum
instruments using a solution of mild detergent
and warm water. Thoroughly rinse the syringe
with clear water, then dry with a clean, soft,
lint-free cloth.
Cleaning
Remove each valve from its tubing for
sterilization. A vacuum plug may be inserted
into the quick-disconnect while there is no
valve in place.
In any situation involving high-risk patients,
it is recommended that the instruments be
removed for sterilization after every patient.
Instructions for disinfecting and sterilizing
the vacuum instruments may be found in this
manual.
WARNING: Ultrasonic cleaning is not
recommended, as the chemicals
used may damage the surface
nishes of the instrument.
Sterilization
Maintenance
Once a month visually check the HVE and SE for proper functions verifying that the air ow adjustment is regulated by the
thumb lever and that the HVE and SE are being cleaned and maintained properly.
Disassemble the valve and lubricate the internal parts when operation becomes stiff or sticky. Clean the inner surfaces
and apply a small amount of O-ring lubricant (Part no. 8031) to the moving parts and O-rings.
Your Pelton & Crane Saliva Ejector comes with a disposable basket that captures large debris particles drawn into the
saliva ejector. Also included with the ejector are three replacement baskets. It is important to check the basket daily to
ensure that it is ltering properly. When the basket becomes full of debris, simply pull the rubber tip off of the saliva ejector
and remove the existing basket from the ejector’s cavity. Discard the used basket in a biohazard container. Insert one of
the replacement disposable baskets into the saliva ejector and push rubber tip onto ejector.
CAUTION: It is important to always wear
gloves when performing any maintenance
on dental equipment.
For Disposable Basket Replacement Parts, Order Part No. 12236.
