1.2 – Principle of operation
Micro signals consisting of dual frequencies sent from
the unit return to the unit after travelling along the electric
circuit that is composed of: unit - probe cord – file holder -
file - patient - lip holder - probe cord. The impedance of the
electric circuit may be changed depending on the distance
between the end of a file and the apex of the root canal,
which results in a change in the micro signals that are
input back into the unit.The microprocessor of the unit
calculates the change in micro signals to convert the
difference into a distance value, which will be displayed
on the Apex ID LCD display.

4.2 – Check connection between probe cord and
file holder
Insert lip hook and file holder B into probe cord [Fig 3-1].
Insert probe cord into probe cord jack of the main unit.
[Fig 3-2]
After turning on the power, make sure there is a complete
circuit by touching file holder B to the lip hook.The screen
will show all bars lit and a dashed line on the lower light of
the screen [Fig. 5.1]. The tone will be steady.
Note: If the power button (
SET
) doesn’t work, make sure
that the insulation plastic is completely removed from
the battery cover in the back of the product. Remove the
insulation plastic piece before use. [Fig 3-4]
4.3 – Performance inspection with checker
Power on by pushing power button (
SET
). [Fig 3-5]
Plug in Checker (to the probe cord jack) provided in the
original packaging and see if the value on the LCD screen
is ‘0.5’. [Fig 3-6]
If ‘0.5’ is displayed on the LCD screen, the unit is ready

NOTICE Place the lip hook on the opposite
side of the mouth from the tooth being measured.
Use with Stainless Steel hand file.
Insert the file into the canal. [Fig 4-6]
Attach the file holder B to the file (If using holder A, touch
the file below the handle with the file holder). [Fig 4-7]
Insert the file slowly into the root canal while checking the
graph and the number value on the screen. Stop insertion
when the distance between the file and root apex reaches
the standard value of the root apex (pre-set factory setting
at 0.0mm or your chosen value). As the file nears the
apical constriction, the unit will beep more rapidly. When
the apex is reached the file is touching the periodontal
membrane and a red bar will appear at the “Apex” on
the screen. As it goes past the apical constriction, the
frequency of beeps increases until the screen reads “-0.5.”
Then the sound will remain steady and the entire screen
will flash.
Continue inserting the file to -0.1 (if the standard value of
the root apex is set at 0.0) then move the file back until
0.0 is displayed on the screen. This helps to confirm the
location of the apex. [Fig 4-8~Fig 4-10]
After positioning the rubber stop of file on the tooth at the
reference point the file should be removed from the canal.
Measure the working length from the tip of the file to the
rubber stop with a ruler. After positioning the rubber stop
on the file to a reference point, the file should be removed
from the tooth.

NOTICE A radiograph may show a different
measurement result than the Apex ID.This is not an
indication of malfunction by the unit or the x-ray.
Often the apical foramen is located coronal to the
radiographic apex. [Fig 5.2] Another possibility is the
angle of the x-ray beam and film may be off angle to
the perpendicular.
5.1 – Probe cord connection
Connect the file holder and lip hook to the probe cord.
[Fig 3-1] The probe cord should be connected to the probe
cord jack of the main unit. [Fig 3-2]
5.2 – Setting the standard value for root apex
Turn on the product by pushing the power button (
SET
).
[Fig 4-1] The position of the file tip is shown by the canal
length indicator bar on the display. Working Length: The 0.5
reading indicates that the tip of the file is at or very near
the apical construction (physiological foramen). [Fig 5.2]
Push the up button (
SET
) and down button (
SET
) simultane-
ously for about 3seconds. [Fig 4-2]
Set at ‘0.0’ at this point by pushing the up button (
SET
) or
down button (
SET
). [Fig 4-2] Change back by following the
same process.
Push the setting button ( SET ) then the desired value of the
root apex shall be fixed. [Fig 4-3]
