Warnings
Important Notes!
The equipment is only to be used by a qualified doctor, dentist, hygienist or other qualified
personnel.
A patient with pacemaker cannot be treated with the equipment.
A shielded AC power cord must be used with this equipment.
iM3 -P4 should be powered from a separate wall outlet with grounding point.
Attention!
Avoid use of this machine around Pacemakers.
It has been shown that electronic appliances including razors, hair dryers, microwave ovens,
TV receptors, and some electronic medical equipment may interfere with the normal
operations of pacemakers. It is suggested that patients who have pacemakers avoid
treatment with this Scaler. For further readings on the subject, please refer to:

Notes before using:
The electric power used must be grounded. If this
requirement is not met, it could cause damage to the
Scaler and more importantly harm to the user.
The machine should be placed on a steady and stabled
platform or table. Placing the machine on an unstable,
tilted table may degrade the performance and/or may
accidentally cause damage to the system.
Do not dismantle the machine. Unauthorised/non
certified technicians may cause harm to themselves
and/or cause damage to the machine.
For electrical safety, the power cord should not be
placed under heavy objects, and should also be kept
away from high temperature heat sources.
If you observe any abnormal situations while the machine
is in use, unplug the power cord as a safety precaution.

Preface
Piezo Scaler is developed based on the Principle of piezoelectric. Ultrasonic waves are generated in
the handpiece by 4 ceramic piezoelectric plates subjected to high frequency alternation current.
The Tip is vibrated back and forth in high speed to perform tooth calculus and/or tartar cleaning
task. Particularly, the high speed vibrated Tip can remove the toughest calculus and tartar easily,
and in conjunction with syringe (or saliva ejector), the scaler can conveniently and swiftly clean
teeth and most importantly it is proven to be electrically safe. The electric-mechanical efficiency
of this piezoelectric system is much greater than that of traditional magnetostrictive systems. There
is very little heat released, and it is possible to work with very little spray. It’s sufficient to ensure
excellent cavitations but more comfortable for both the patient and the dental surgeon.
The unit is a very powerful apparatus. There are linear scales of power adjustment for removing
prostheses. This allows very fine adjustment to suit each clinical situation.
With a large range of Tips, the unit is suitable with different kinds of works.
iM3 - P4
Operation Modes:
Perio, Scaling and Endo
Operation Frequency: 29 KHz
Stable and Fine Power Setting
Various Types of TIP Available
No Heat Generation of Handpiece
Special notes to operator:
Since the tip of scaler is made of stainless steel, avoid direct contact to patient's mouth; it may
cause damage to the enamel of the teeth. To better utilize all the functions and maximize the
performance of the scaler, it is suggested that before applying to patients, doctors should
practice on models/aluminum plates to familiarize themselves with the usage of the scaler tips,
the subtle motion force of the insert, etc.

I. Descriptions and Functionalities of Components
1. Main Unit
It is the heart of the scaler. Functionally, the main unit generates the needed 29 KHz-
operation-signal and passes it onto the handpiece, and thus induces power to vibrate the
tip inside the handpiece accordingly. Due to loading variations, a signal from the handpiece
will be fed back to the main unit so that the main unit can track the variation of the loading
and adjust the intensity of the controlling signal accordingly.
2. Handpiece
The handpiece consists of vibrator and a tip. The vibrator is composed of four pieces of
piezoelectric plates. It will generate displacement when driven by the electrical signal from
the main unit. The vibrator will move the tip back and forth in high speed based on the
waveform change of the controlling signal. In addition, the movement of the Tip will induce
current on the feedback circuit and the induced signal is then fed back to the Main Unit to
complete the control loop. In accordance with the movement of the tip, a powerful
water stream (working like a syringe) will also come out to a) wash away the tooth calculus
and tartar, and b) cool down the temperature of the tip (heat generated from the vibration
of the tip).
Caution: Make sure that new tip is fully seated.
3. Footswitch
The convenient footswitch helps operators to easily turn on/off the scaler without
interrupting the cleaning process.

6. LCD Panel
User can adjust the power level and operation mode clearly and easily by looking at the
LCD panel. The figure and scale show the current power level. The operation mode tells
user, which appropriate insert should be applied.
Caution: To prevent any damages, Tip operation has to be chosen according to the
operation mode shown on the LCD panel.
7. Main Power Switch
Main power switch. When pushed, the AC power is sent to the Main Unit, and the power
indicator (LED) will be lit up. If pushed again, the power is then turned off and the power
indicator will be extinguished.
Before turning the unit on, be sure the footswitch is in
the “OFF” position.
8. Water Flow Control
Turning this knob clockwise will decrease the volume of water flowing onto the tip, turning
counter-clockwise will increase the flow.
Important note: As well as washing away the debris left from the calculus and/or tartar,
the water acts to cool the handpiece and in particular the scaling tip. Ensure there is
adequate flow to minimize heat build-up.
Warning: Don’t adjust water knob in anti-clockwise direction over three circles
9. Power
Output power intensity control knob. When turned counter-clockwise, the output power
intensity will be smaller. On the other hand, when turned clockwise, the output power
intensity will increase. This power intensity control knob gives doctors the flexibility to
adjust the output power intensity based on the difficulty of the cleaning job (e.g.,
toughness of the calculus).

II. Installation Guide
1. Unpacking
When unpacking the box, check iM3 - P4 for any damage. If damaged, please contact your dealer
immediately. Enter the unit serial number on your warranty card mail it within 10 days after setting
up the machine.
2. Storage
A. Environment:
The unit should be stored in a clean, dry environment. The following environmental limitations
apply to both storage and shipping:
Temperature: 0℃to 60℃
Humidity : 10%~90% (at 40℃)
Atmospheric pressure: 860~1060 hPa
B. Labels
Explanations of the labels printed on the outside box are listed below:
FRAGILE
KEEP AWAY FROM WATER
DON’T HOOK

A. Grounding:
Before any connection to the output connectors is made, the unit must be grounded. The mains
plug should only be inserted into a wall socket provided with a protective earth contact.
Note: The unit must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.
B. Main voltage range and fuse:
Before inserting the main plug into the wall socket, make sure that the scaler is compatible with the
local main voltage.
Warning: The scaler should be disconnected from all voltage sources when a fuse is to be removed
or replaced.
The main (line) fuse holder is located on the rear panel in the main (line) input socket. When the
main (line) fuse needs replacing, proceed as follows:
Disconnect the unit from the line.
Remove the cover of the fuse-holder by means of a small screwdriver.
Fit a new fuse with the correct rating and refit the cover of the fuse-holder. The fuse
will be 2A/250V-delay action type.
4. Setting Up
It is fairly simple to install the IM3 Scaler. Just unpack the IM3 Scaler box and connect the
components as shown in the figure below.
Figure 3. ART-P4 setting up diagram
1. Check the “ART-P4” and make sure the both power and power indicator is off when the
switch is off.
2. Put the Scaler into a grounded AC power outlet.
3. Choose the correct Tip for desired procedure, and insert it into the handpiece. Make sure
