Power and Status
The chair and system is controlled by the master toggle on the delivery
system. The power should always be turned off for service. When the Adec logo on the touchpad or the status light on the chair lift arm are
illuminated, the system is on and ready for use. If the status light blinks,
the limit switch has been activated.
Figure 4. Power and Status
Limit Switch and Chair Lockout
If anything becomes lodged under the chair lift arm or assistant’s arm, a
limit switch stops the downward motion of the chair. Pressing the chair
stop plate or lifting up on the assistant’s arm activates the limit switches.
Use the footswitch or touchpad to raise the chair, then remove the object.
The optional lockout kit inhibits the operation of the dental chair when a
handpiece is removed from its holder and the foot control pressed. When
this happens, the chair status light blinks quickly. To resume, replace the
handpiece and use the footswitch or touchpad to raise the chair.

Factory Default Routine
When a new circuit board is installed in the chair, factory default routine
needs to be run to learn the range of motion of the chair. The routine:
• Sets the base and back upper limits
• Calculates new presets based on actual range of motion of the chair
• Verifies that the potentiometers work
To start the factory default routine, place the “spare” jumper in the factory
default position on the P17 test points of the chair circuit board (see "Circuit
Board Components" on page 9 for reference).
When running the factory default routine the chair:
1. Moves base down
2. Moves base up
3. Moves back down
4. Moves back up
5. Moves base and back to Position 0
6. Beeps three times
NOTEThe jumper must remain in the factory default
position to complete the factory default routine. The status
LEDs on the standard and deluxe touchpads and the chair
circuit board double blink while the factory default routine
is running and after the routine is complete.

Potentiometers provide the controller with current position values for the
chair base and back. The controller saves the chair values when
programmed and compares the values with current position values for the
pre-position and auto-return functions.
Adjust the Base Up Limit Switch:
1. Remove the motor pump cover.
2. Loosen the two screws clamping the limit switch to the mounting
bracket.

4. Push the limit switch against the actuator on the drive gear until the
switch opens (clicks), then tighten the clamping screws. (See Figure 7).
5. Position the chair base down until the limit switch has closed, then
position the chair full base up. Check the distance between the top of
the base plate to the flat area around the threaded stud the chair adapter
mounts to. If the distance is incorrect, repeat steps 2 through 4.
3. Position the chair as shown in Figure 8.

3. Turn the potentiometer gear counterclockwise until it stops.
4. Align the potentiometer assembly, then turn the potentiometer gear
clockwise two teeth.
5. Reinstall the limit switch and potentiometer assembly. Make sure the
potentiometer gear does not turn and the two gears mesh properly.
6. Ensure that the electrical connections to the limit switch and positioning
potentiometer are property set.
7. While observing the two gears for binding, lower the chair base.
CAUTIONDo not raise to the full base up position until after you
have checked the base up limit switch for proper adjustment. the
chair may go into hydraulic lock if not adjusted properly.
8. Reinstall the cover, and program the auto-positioning functions.

Adjust the Back Potentiometer
1. Position the chair back to its full up position.
2. Disconnect the limit switch wiring harness from the limit switch.
3. Remove the limit switch mounting screws and limit switch from the
bracket. Do not bend the switch arm.
4. Remove the bracket mounting screws.
5. Remove the drive shaft from the potentiometer shaft.
6. Remove the drive shaft from the chair by moving it toward the chair
backrest, and slightly to the side to dislodge it from the holder.

Hydraulic System
Hydraulic Cylinders
Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir
Solenoid/Manifold
Assembly
Motor Pump
The hydraulic system consists of:
• Hydraulic fluid reservoir
The fluid level in the reservoir can be seen through the sides of the
reservoir and is serviced via a top fill cap.
•Hydraulic cylinders
The hydraulic cylinders control the base lift and back functions. Springs
and gravity retract the rod during base and back down functions.
• Motor-driven hydraulic pump
The hydraulic pump and the starter capacitor supply hydraulic fluid
from the reservoir, under pressure, to the chair lift and tilt hydraulic
cylinders for back up and base up functions.
• Solenoid/manifold assembly
This assembly gates hydraulic fluid to and from the two cylinders.
Depending on the chair function called for, the controller selects which
solenoid-actuated manifold valves are opened or closed. The solenoid/
manifold assembly also includes four adjustable needle valves used to
restrict or divert the flow of hydraulic fluid to and from the lift and tilt
cylinders. These valves provide the rate of travel adjustment for chair
base and back movement.

To test the magnetic pull of the solenoid hold the tip of screwdriver near a
solenoid and activate the appropriate chair function. You should feel the
tug of the magnetic field generated around the solenoid.
Figure 13. Test the Solenoid
Remove and Replace the Solenoid
1. Lower the chair base and back to the full down position. Remove the
motor pump cover, then unplug the chair.
WARNINGThe solenoid coils are powered by line voltage (100,
120, or 240 V). Failure to unplug the chair may result in serious
injury from electrical shock.
4. Using a flat-tipped screwdriver, loosen and then remove the sleeve and
poppet from the manifold assembly.
WARNINGTo prevent the possibility of over-heating and failure,
replace the entire solenoid assembly.
5. Remove the o-ring from inside the manifold, and install a new o-ring.
6. Install a new sleeve and poppet; tighten the poppet sleeve using a flat-
tipped screwdriver.
7. Install a new coil on the plunger. Do not overtighten the retaining nut.
8. Strip approximately 1/4" of insulation from the wires cut in step 2, and
install a crimp-on butt-type connector on each wire.
9. On the new solenoid, cut the wiring to length allowing enough to reach
the crimped-on connectors. Strip approximately 1/4" of insulation from
the wires and crimp each wire into a connector.
