FAQ #9
How is sensor adjustment made?
(Lumina® Light)
The Lumina Light sensor is factory pre-set at 2-6 inches. This distance may be
adjusted up to 18 inches. If adjustment is necessary, do the following:
1. Locate the sensor adjustment screw hole on the front of the light frame
under the light shield.
2. Using a small flat-head screwdriver, slowly and carefully turn the adjustment
screw clockwise to lengthen the sensor distance (hand can be further from
sensor), or counterclockwise to shorten the sensor distance (hand has to be
closer to sensor.).
NOTE: A small amount of adjusting does a lot.

CHAIR BACK MOTOR ADJUSTMENT
1. Raise the chair to its full UP position with the back and toe tilted.
2. Remove the six screws that secure the motor cover and remove the cover.
3. Using one 7/16" open-end wrench, loosen the locknut on the adjusting screw for switch
“II” and use another 7/16" open-end wrench to turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise
to lower the back or clockwise to raise the back.
CAUTION: The total back adjustment is approximately 30 º from parallel. Over adjustment can
cause damage to the micro switch. DO NOT ADJUST SWITCH “I”.
4. After reaching desired adjustment, tighten the locknut and install the motor cover using the
screws removed. Then check for proper operation.

How is a light pivot adjustment made?
Light Pivot Adjustment (Lumina®, Advantage by DentalEZ™ and
Simplicity by DentalEZ™)
To adjust the pivot of the Lumina or
Advantage light do the following:
Lumina or Advantage
Tool required:
• 5/64 Allen Wrench.
1. Squeeze on both sides of the
splash shield on the face of the
light and remove the shield.
2. Locate the two set screw holes
on each side of the light.
Set Screw Holes
3. Using a 5/64 Allen wrench,

FAQ #44
How is a handpiece actuator valve
adjustment made? (Galaxy® Traditional Head)
Tools required:
• 1/16" Allen Wrench
• Small Needle-nose Pliers
White
Tubing
Perform the following steps for each
actuator valve that needs adjusting:
Set Screws
1. Flip the master switch to the OFF
position.
2. Determine which handpiece(s) need
adjusting, then remove the appropriate handpiece(s) from the holder(s).
3. Using a 1/16" Allen wrench, loosen, but don’t remove, the appropriate set screw inside
the brass inserts located on the bottom of the unit head.
4. Using small needle-nose pliers, gasp the white tubing for the appropriate handpiece and
move the acutator valve forward toward the face of the unit for better activation of the
plunger. (Adjusting the actuator valve too far forward will prevent the handpiece from sitting
correctly in the holder.)
5. Tighten the set screw to hold the actuator in place.
6. Flip the master switch to the ON position.
7. Place the handpiece back into the holder and press the foot control. (The handpiece
should not run while it is in the holder.)
8. Remove the handpiece from the holder and press the foot control. (The handpiece should
run when it is out of the holder.)
