DENTALEZ 265677 StarBright Lamp Control
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The StarBright Lamp Control System (PN 265677 or 265676), from StarDental, is
designed to provide power for a handpiece light source. The system may be
installed into a dental unit to provide a clean, aesthetic visual appearance.
For this reason, it is highly recommended that a qualified service technician
be consulted for the proper installation of the product.
The StarDental Lamp Control System has a power requirement of 7.5 – 9 V AC/DC,
1.2A. and has an output range of 2.5 – 4.2 VDC. StarDental recommends using AC
Adaptor # 265672. It is factory preset to 3.3 VDC to operate with a StarDental
Fiber Optic Swivel.
LAMP CONTROL SYSTEM INSTALLATION
Handpiece light source tubings are available in various styles and colors to be compatible with dental unit colors and desired handpiece connections. If a unit does not already have a handpiece light source tubing, install tubing that is compatible with the particular handpiece being used.
-
Route signal air tubing from the Reducing Tee to the lamp control. Select a position on the drive air tubing near the lamp control for installation. It may be necessary to trim back the outer tube jacket to get correct position of the drive air tube (clear).
-
Cut the drive air tubing and slide a ferrule over each end of the cut tubing.
-
Install the Reducing Tee by sliding each cut tubing onto each barb of the Reducing Tee.
-
Push ferrules over tubing at each barb to lock tubing in place.
Note: Install a 1/8″ x 1/8″ x 1/16″ plastic tee and air sensing tube assembly into the drive-air line of the appropriate handpiece position not more than 12” from the desired location of the Lamp Controller.
Signal air tubing must be free of kinks to activate lamp control properly.
See Fig. 1 and Fig. 2
NOTE: Tubing, Ferrules and Tees not included -
Carefully route the power supply cord through or on the support arm of the delivery head for eventual connection to the Lamp Controller. Provide sufficient slack to prevent binding any moving part. Prevent the cord from hanging loosely in an area where personnel travel.
-
Attach wire marked “+” on the AC adaptor to the “+” terminal on the controller. Attach the remaining wire to the “-” terminal.
-
Attach the handpiece tubing wires to the Lamp Controller terminals as shown in Fig. 3.
NOTE: If bare wire is visible, take it out of the terminal and trim it down so that the end of the insulation butts up to the electrical terminal, ensuring that no bare wire is visible. -
To create a dual output fiber optic controller, attach the AC Adaptor wires and the handpiece wires as shown in figure 4. Make sure signal air is applied to both controllers from their respective handpieces. NOTICE Only use a StarDental AC adaptor (Part # 265672). The use of other transformers may cause damage to the controller.
-
Plug AC adaptor into a wall outlet.
NOTE: If measuring voltage from the set screw, ensure screws are fully tightened for correct voltage reading.
NOTE: Non-StarDental tubing installation procedure is the same as the StarDental tubing installation procedure unless otherwise specified by tubing manufacturer.
ADJUSTING LAMP VOLTAGE
Tools Required: 5/64″ Jeweler’s Screwdriver, DMM – Digital Multimeter capable of measuring 2 to 5 volts DC The operating voltage of the handpieces’ lamps must now be set to the value recommended by the manufacturer. The StarDental Fiber Optic handpiece and StarBright swivel lamp = 3.3VDC. The voltage adjustment control is located near the terminal strip of the Lamp Control unit and is turned using a 5/64″ jeweler’s screwdriver.
-
Connect the handpiece to the applicable tubing adapter – follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Plug switching power supply into a convenient receptacle.
CAUTION: Voltage set levels seriously affect the operation of the lamp, especially longevity. Never use these controls to adjust lamp intensity. -
Turn all the voltage setting controls fully down (CCW). Gain access to the lamp connections and attach the digital multimeter (DMM). Activate the handpiece line, which should turn on the lamp for seven seconds. Slowly turn the appropriate voltage set to control up (CW) until the meter reads 3.3VDC (if not StarBright swivel lamp, then use the manufacturer’s recommended voltage).
-
If the direct attachment of DMM to the lamp is mechanically difficult, then attach the DMM directly to the appropriate set screw connections. With the lamp operating, set the recommended voltage. (With this method, if using tubing with smaller wire sizes, a higher voltage may be required to achieve the specified voltage at the lamp)
LAMP CONTROL OPERATION
HANDPIECES:
The Lamp Control is designed to operate a variety of fiber optic handpieces.
Once installation and lamp voltage adjustments are completed, the Lamp Control
will deliver the correct voltage to each handpiece tubing and lamp.
- Pick up the handpiece from the hanger. To operate the fiber optic electrical system, press and hold down the foot pedal of the delivery unit.
- After completing the work session, return the handpiece to its holder.
CLEANING
Note: Clean outside surfaces of tubing with a non-alcohol-based disinfectant only. The use of alcohol-based cleaner will discolor tubing.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem: NO LIGHT OR INTERMITTENT LIGHT
Cause: Electrical connections
Correction: Verify three connections
- Wall outlet – AC Adaptor
- Powerpack – Lamp Control electrical connections
- Lamp Control – handpiece tubing electrical connections check connections and polarity
Cause: Crimped signal airline to lamp control
Correction: Straighten signal airline to allow airflow.
Cause: Lamp installation
Correction : Verify lamp is properly seated into the tubing connector.
Cause: Corrosion on lamp contact pins
Correction: Remove lamp (located in the StarBright swivel connector) and
clean contact pins with isopropyl alcohol.
Cause: Faulty connector sockets
Correction: Verify lamp contact pins are properly seated into connector
sockets. Clean contact pins of lamp and connector sockets.
Problem: YELLOWISH LIGHT
Cause: Debris on optical surfaces
Correction: Clean optical surfaces. Refer to Swivel Connector Instruction
Manual, StarDental Part #62549.
Problem: REDUCED LIGHT
Cause : Low voltage
Correction: It is recommended that a qualified service technician be
employed for this purpose: Verify the correct adjustment of lamp voltage,
refer to the Adjusting Lamp Voltage section. If voltage is adjusted correctly
and problem persists, contact Customer Service at the number listed below.
NOTE: If a problem persists, contact the dealer for further assistance or contact StarDental Customer Service at 1-866-DTE-INFO.
