4.3 Electrostatic charge Operating Instructions CEREC Primemill

4.3.2 ESD protective measures


ESD ESD stands for ElectroStatic Discharge.
ESD protective measures ESD protective measures include:
● Procedures for preventing electrostatic charge build-up (e.g. air
conditioning, air moistening, conductive floor coverings and non-
synthetic clothing)
● Discharging the electrostatic charges of your own body on the frame
of the UNIT, the protective ground wire or large metallic objects
● Connecting yourself to ground using a wrist band.

Training We therefore recommend that all persons working with this system be
instructed on the significance of this warning label. Furthermore, they
also should receive training in the physics of electrostatic discharges
which can occur in the practice and the destruction of electronic
components which may result if such components are touched by
electrostatically charged USERS.
The content of this training is explained in the Chapter "About the
physics of electrostatic charges"  [→ 14].

4.3.3 About the physics of electrostatic charges


What is an electrostatic charge? An electrostatic charge is a voltage field on and in an object (e.g. a
human body) which is protected against conductance to ground
potential by a nonconductive layer (e.g. a shoe sole).
Formation of an electrostatic charge Electrostatic charges generally build up whenever two bodies are
rubbed against each other, e.g. when walking (shoe soles against the
floor) or driving a vehicle (tires against the street pavement).

Amount of charge The amount of charge depends on several factors:


Thus the charge is higher in an environment with low air humidity than
in one with high air humidity; it is also higher with synthetic materials
than with natural materials (clothing, floor coverings).
Electrostatic discharge must be preceded by electrostatic charging.
The following rule of thumb can be applied to assess the transient
voltages resulting from an electrostatic discharge.
An electrostatic discharge is:
● perceptible at 3,000 V or higher
● audible at 5,000 V or higher (cracking, crackling)
● visible at 10,000 V or higher (arc-over)
The transient currents resulting from these discharges have a
magnitude of 10 amperes. They are not hazardous for humans because
they last for only several nanoseconds.

Dentsply Sirona 4 Safety
Operating Instructions CEREC Primemill 4.4 Wireless phone interference with equipment

Background Integrated circuits (logical circuits and microprocessors) are used to


implement a wide variety of functions in dental/X-ray/CAD/CAM
systems.
The circuits must be miniaturized to a very high degree in order to
include as many functions as possible on these chips. This leads to
structure thicknesses as low as a few ten thousandths of a millimeter.
It is obvious that integrated circuits which are connected to plugs
leading outside of the unit via cables are sensitive to electrostatic
discharge.
Even voltages which are imperceptible to the user can cause
breakdown of the structures, thus leading to a discharge current which
melts the chip in the affected areas. Damage to individual integrated
circuits may cause malfunction or failure of the system.

To prevent this from happening, the ESD warning label next to the plug
warns of this hazard. ESD stands for ElectroStatic Discharge.
Connector pins or sockets bearing ESD warning labels must not be
touched or interconnected without ESD protective measures.

4.4 Wireless phone interference with equipment


The use of mobile wireless phones in practice or hospital environments
must be prohibited to ensure safe operation of the unit.

4.5 Disturbance of data transmission Operating Instructions CEREC Primemill

4.5 Disturbance of data transmission


Note on wireless communication Data communication between the acquisition unit and the CEREC
Primemill production unit should preferably be wireless data
communication via WLAN.
As for all wireless connections (e.g. cell phones), heavy utilization of the
available radio channels or shielding caused by building installations
(e.g. metal-shielded X-ray enclosures) may impair the quality of the
connection. This may become noticeable through a reduction in range
and/or a slower data transmission rate. In extreme cases, it will be
impossible to establish a wireless connection at all.
Dentsply Sirona has selected the best possible configuration for data
communication via WLAN, which generally provides perfect functioning
of this connection. However, in individual cases unrestricted wireless
data communication may be impossible for the reasons mentioned
above and/or due to local circumstances. In such cases, a cable LAN
connection should be selected to ensure uninterrupted operation. If the
only LAN interface on the rear of the acquisition unit is occupied by
another plug, remove this wireless interface connection and instead
connect the LAN cable with the CEREC Primemill production unit.

4.6 Ventilation slots


Under no circumstances may the ventilation slots on the unit be
covered, since otherwise the air circulation will be obstructed. This can
cause the unit to overheat.
Do not spray liquids such as disinfectants into the ventilation slots. This
may lead to malfunctions. Use wipe disinfection only in the vicinity of the
ventilation slots.

Note on wireless communication Data communication between the acquisition unit and the CEREC
Primemill production unit should preferably be wireless data
communication via WLAN.
As for all wireless connections (e.g. cell phones), heavy utilization of the
available radio channels or shielding caused by building installations
(e.g. metal-shielded X-ray enclosures) may impair the quality of the
connection. This may become noticeable through a reduction in range
and/or a slower data transmission rate. In extreme cases, it will be
impossible to establish a wireless connection at all.
Dentsply Sirona has selected the best possible configuration for data
communication via WLAN, which generally provides perfect functioning
of this connection. However, in individual cases unrestricted wireless
data communication may be impossible for the reasons mentioned
above and/or due to local circumstances. In such cases, a cable LAN
connection should be selected to ensure uninterrupted operation. If the
only LAN interface on the rear of the acquisition unit is occupied by
another plug, remove this wireless interface connection and instead
connect the LAN cable with the CEREC Primemill production unit.

4.6 Ventilation slots


Under no circumstances may the ventilation slots on the unit be
covered, since otherwise the air circulation will be obstructed. This can
cause the unit to overheat.
Do not spray liquids such as disinfectants into the ventilation slots. This
may lead to malfunctions. Use wipe disinfection only in the vicinity of the
ventilation slots.

7.3 Changing the water


7.3.1 General information
NOTE
Coolant
Use distilled or demineralized water.

If a water change is due, a notification appears on your touch interface.

Preventing odors
All coolant additives contain a biodegradable preservative. Despite this,
however, odors may still develop under unfavorable conditions.
Observe the following:
● Change the water at least once a week.
● With ambient temperatures above 25 °C (77 °F), change the water
every 2 to 3 days to prevent foul odors.
● Drain the tank if you do not intend to operate the unit for more than
one week.
● Clean the tank if the odors recur.
● Add the coolant additive DENTATEC and fill the tank up to the brim
with water. Let it stand for at least 24 hours and then rinse it out
thoroughly with water once again.

NOTE
Damage to surfaces!
In the undiluted state, the coolant additive DENTATEC disintegrates
plastic surfaces and can cause discoloration.
➢ Do not place DENTATEC on the unit.
➢ Do not spill DENTATEC.

NOTE
Approved coolant additive
Use only DENTATEC as a coolant additive.
