Troubleshooting

Although service and repair of the Cavitron JET Plus
Combination System should be performed by DENTSPLY
personnel, the following are some basic troubleshooting
procedures that will help avoid unnecessary service calls.
Generally, check all lines and connections to and from
the System. A loose plug or connection will often create
problems. Check the settings on the System's controls.

10.1 Troubleshooting Guide

Symptom:
System will not operate: No Power ON indicator
1. Check that the Main Power Switch is in the ON (l)
position, and that the detachable Power Cord is fully
seated in the receptacle on back of System.
2. Check that the system's power cord plug is fully seated
in an approved AC wall outlet.
3. Check that the wall outlet is functional.
Symptom:
System will not operate: Power ON Indicator is
illuminated
1. If the office has more than one Foot Control, test
each to ensure that the proper Foot Control is being
used. With a handpiece and insert installed, depress
the Foot Control to the first position. The system
should dispense water. If none of the Foot Controls
operate the system, continue to the next step.
2. Resynchronize one Foot Control to the system (see
Section 6.10 Foot Control Synchronization).
Symptom:
System operates: No water flow to insert tip
1. Assure that handpiece lavage control is properly
adjusted.
2. Check for clogged insert. Replace insert if necessary.
3. Check that dental office water supply valves are open.
4. If the system is connected to DualSelect Dispensing
System, check that fluid level in the selected bottle is
sufficient. Make sure valves are open when using
external water source.
5. Check that the water line filter is clean. Replace
filter if needed.
Symptom:
System operates: No insert cavitation
1. Check that the Power Level Control is not in Rinse
Mode.
2. Check the insert for damage and that it is properly
installed in the handpiece.
3. Check that the handpiece is properly installed to the
cable assembly.
4. Verify that the soft nozzle grip is flush with the hard
plastic of the insert port.
5. Turn the system's Main Power Switch to the OFF (0)
position. Wait 5 seconds and turn the system back ON.
6. If problem still exists, replace both "AA" batteries in
Foot Control with new "AA" batteries (Refer to Section
6.9) or connect the Auxiliary Foot Control Cable.
Symptom:
System operates: Purge Mode will not function
– Indicator flashing
1. Check that there is no insert in the handpiece.
2. Check that handpiece is properly installed to the cable
assembly.

• Fast Blinking (3 blinks per second)
– Indicates improper set-up
1. If insert is in the handpiece, remove. Verify the
handpiece is properly seated and hold the foot
control for 2 seconds. If blinking stops, the system
is ready for use. If blinking remains, continue to the
next step.
2. Attach a NEW handpiece and hold Foot Control for 2
seconds. If blinking stops, the system is ready for
use. Discard the old handpiece or return if within
warranty. If blinking remains, continue to the next
step.
