SETTING UP THE UNIT
1. Unpack the console and check that voltage is proper. Use 110v for 110-120v 60Hz voltages, and the 220v for 220-250v 50Hz voltages. For alternative voltages (220V- 250V), confirm that the type of plug cap is correct for the country of usage and carries the proper certification markings. Correct cord is shipped with the console.
2. Attach the remote power cord to the lower front of the console and plug into a grounded electrical receptacle.
3. Connect the motor to the motor receptacle on the lower front panel of the console.
4. Attach the appropriate "E-Type" handpiece to the motor.
6. Attach the supplied foot control to the connector on the front of the unit marked "Foot Switch".
7. Detach the 3-way syringe from the travel clip and place it in the holder on the front of the unit.
9. Fill the clear water supply bottle with clean water and screw onto unit where marked "Reservoir
Connect".
10. Place the waste tank in the unit. Connect the low volume vacuum (Saliva Ejector), filter drain, and filtered vacuum pump intake hoses to the quick disconnect fittings on the lid of the vacuum waste container. Secure tank by running bungee cord from hooks on bottom panel over waste tank lid.

OPERATION FUNCTIONS
1. Power Switch - Controls power on/off to system. When turned on, console should light up.
2. RPM - Controls speed of motor and handpiece.
Push the up arrow to increase speed and the down arrow to decrease speed. A visual display shows actual RPM. Ratio selector must match exactly the ratio of the handpiece being used for complete accuracy. All settings are held in memory even after unit is turned off.
3. Foward/Reverse - Determines the rotation of the motor and handpiece. A red L.E.D. light and audible beeper indicate the reverse rotation.
4. Ratio Selector - Calibrates the RPM display to read accurately for up to four different handpiece ratios. Push the ratio up/down arrow until the indicator lights which matches the handpiece ratio you are using. Different handpiece ratios are required to obtain high torque, low speeds used in surgery. The speed ranges with a 30K motor are shown at right.
5. Three-way Air/Water Syringe - The AEU-425 unit features a three-way air/water syringe with quick change autoclavable tips.
Changing the Tip - Pull the used tip straight out of the chrome hub nut. Insert the new tip, and push it in as far as it will go.
Syringe Tip Sterilization - Before sterilization, syringe tips should be thoroughly cleaned with a surgical soap. The tips should always be sterilized before use by means of steam autoclave, chemical vapor, dry heat, or ethylene oxide gas processes.

SPEED RANGES
4:1 20,000 - 120,000 RPM
1:1 4,000 - 30,000 RPM
1:4 1,000 - 7,500 RPM
1:16 300 - 1,800 RPM
IMPORTANT
When changing the autoclavable syringe tip, be sure that the replacement tip is pushed ALL THE WAY into the syringe. Make it easy to insert a new tip by slightly lubricating with a silicone or handpiece lubricant.

OPERATION FUNCTIONS
6. Foot Switch - The foot switch provides on/off operation to the electric motor and water to the handpiece.
7. Water Supply Tank - The Aseptico AEU-400 incorporates a self contained pressurized water system. This consists of a 16oz. clear tank dispensing water through the 3-way syringe. The water tank attaches to the threaded reservoir connector, located below the pressure gauge in the AEU-400 case.
Before removing the tank for refilling, it must be depressurized. Turn the Water Supply
On/Off toggle off allowing pressure to release before unscrewing the water supply bottle. To fill the tank, release pressure, then unscrew bottle and fill with water. With gasket in place, screw bottle onto reservoir connector.
8. Saliva Ejector Vacuum - The AEU-400
Transport I is equipped with a low volume vacuum hose with automatic shut-off holder.
Waste collects in the 1000ml plastic waste container. Lift the vacuum valve from its holder for operation. The vacuum pump will start and waste from the vacuum system will collect in the waste container. When the waste container is ¾ full it should be emptied.
After each use the vacuum system should be cleaned by running clean water or a vacuum system cleanser through the evacuator hose and thoroughly cleaning the waste bottle. The vacuum lever valves snap apart at the swivel connector and may be autoclaved.

OPERATION
After the unit has been set up and you have made yourself familiar with the operation functions, you are ready for operation as follows:
1. Turn the power switch on the front of the console to the 'ON' position. The front panel display will light and the unit will pressurize.
2. Attach a sterile handpiece to the motor and set the Ratio Selector to match the gear ratio of the handpiece being used (i.e. 1:1 for a 1:1 handpiece, or 1:4 for a 1:4 handpiece).
AEU-400 Transport I Manual
3. Adjust the up/down arrows on the RPM display to the desired operating speed on the RPM readout.
NOTE: The RPM display indicates true bur speed when the Ratio Selector is in the appropriate position. Make sure the Ratio
Selector matches the handpiece ratio for display accuracy.
