Before operating the swivel connector, carefully read and follow all of these instructions. Save these instructions for future reference and observe all warnings and cautions.
INDICATIONS FOR USE
Swivel connectors are used to adapt the handpiece to the dental unit delivery tubing. Drive air, coolant air, water and as applicable fiber optic lighting are supplied through the swivel.
SPECIFICATIONS
NOTE: StarBright Plug n’ Play swivels contain an anti-retraction valve to prevent backflow of water into the handpiece tubing. See Cleaning for special guidance regarding cleaning and maintenance.
DESCRIPTION
The Fiber Optic (F.O.) 6-Pin ISO Type C, LED HiFlo Swivel is designed to connect to StarBright Fiber Optic Handpiece Tubing or standard (non-Star) ISO C tubing. The StarBright Plug n’ Play LED Swivel is compatible with all 3.0-3.3 Volts DC volt fiber optic systems. Verify that the fiber optic system is putting out 3.0-3.3 Volts DC volts before installing LED swivel. (Fig.1)
SWIVEL INSTALLATION
NOTE: Use an air pressure gauge to adjust the pressure to the appropriate psi as recommended in the specified handpiece manual. Handpiece must be connected prior to taking pressure reading.
NOTE: If you have a previous model LED Swivel with in-line regulator, the in-line regulator will need to be removed in order for the StarBright Plug n’ Play LED Swivel to function.
- Slide tubing coupler back until the end of the ISO connector is exposed. (Fig. 2)
- Align and insert fittings of the swivel into the ISO connector holes of the tubing.
- Slide tubing coupler forward and thread clockwise until hand tight against the swivel.
- Use the disconnect wrench provided, StarDental Part #203048, to tighten the swivel to the tubing coupler. Be sure to turn the tubing coupler, while holding the swivel in place. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. (See Fig. 3)
- Snap handpiece onto the swivel.
- Adjust water volume at delivery head to obtain a satisfactory spray mist.
NOTE: The swivel tubing connection may loosen over time, resulting in
water leaks and/or loss of power. Check for tightness periodically.

Remove wire and apply a blast of syringe air into water tube.
Every exposed optical surface of the swivel accumulates debris ultimately decreasing the light output. To maintain maximum intensity, clean each surface weekly with an isopropyl alcohol soaked cotton swab. Use firm rubbing motion to remove debris and mineral deposits. See (Fig. 5) below denoting the surfaces to clean
To optimize operation of the swivel connector, swab all internal surfaces of
the handpiece with a cotton swab soaked in isopropyl alcohol until clean. On
the LED swivel, clean the external surfaces of the swivel and internal areas
of the tubing coupler. Dry using syringe air.
Clean area shown in bearing/spring assembly (See fig. 6), using isopropyl
