INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing an Engler Son-Mate II Scaler Polisher combination.
The design of the Engler Engineering Corporation, Son-Mate II scaler circuitry uses integrated
computer technology along with our time remote feedback circuitry. This combination produces a
powerful and potent tool against periodontal disease. A reinforced solid aluminum chassis surrounds
the internal circuit board, providing a very durable and reliable unit.
The dental scaler utilizes an ultrasonic principle of operation. The internal circuitry converts ordinary
line voltage to an operating frequency of approximately 18,000 Hz. This frequency is then amplified
and delivered to the scaling tip. As a result, the tip vibrates at this ultrasonic frequency with an amplitude
of 0.001 to 0.004 in. (25.4 um to 102 um).
In designing our unique Engler tips, water flows internally through the tip as it vibrates. As the bubbles
in the lavage are bactericidal, the energy released collapses and destroys the bacterial cell walls. The water
flowing internally through the tip, effectively cools the area and assists in removing any debris from the
operative site.
This device is equipped with a digital readout that provides an indication of the power that the unit is set
at.
IMPORTANT:
We recommend that ultrasonic scalers should not be used by or in close proximity to anyone who has any
electronic implant device (pacemaker, defibrillator, or has any neurological problems).
PLEASE READ VERY CAREFULLY
Engler Engineering Corporation makes every effort to verify that all parts for the device along

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before installing or operating your new Son-Mate II, carefully read and follow all of the instructions.
IMPORTANT: This device must be connected to a clean, filtered, water supply, capable of delivering 30
to 60 psi (2.0 to 4.2 kg/cm2) of water input pressure. This unit comes with an In-Line water filter (P/N:
A52030). When kept clean and free of foreign matter, it will assist in proper water flow to the unit.
If the water pressure in your office is above 60 psi, we recommend you install a water pressure
regulator on the supply line to your scaler.
CONNECTING WATER SUPPLY:
We strongly recommend that a manual shut off valve be
placed prior to the Female Quick Disconnect, so that the water
can be completely shut-off, and line pressure relieved, when
the unit is not in use.
This device comes equipped with an 8 foot (244 cm)
water line, a male Poly-Quick disconnect fitting, a water filter
and a coupling body.
The water line must be connected to the white fitting located
on the back of the device before a connection is made to the
water source. To connect the water line, slide the white (male)
insert into the coupling body until the metal latch locks it in
place making a clicking sound. The water line can now be
connected to your water source.
We suggest that you use one of the four methods as shown
on the next two pages.
** Please note, male quick disconnects is
supplied as a standard item with all
Engler scalers.
PLEASE REMEMBER -
It is recommended that you disconnect the device from the
water supply when it is not in operation.

1. Female Quick Disconnect (P/N: 44300) - This is the female
mating connector to the male quick disconnect supplied with
the Son-Mate II . Use this to create a custom water
installation.
2. Saddle Valve Assembly (P/N: A44303) - This kit
contains all parts to quickly and easily connects
your unit to an existing cold water supply line.
44300 Female quick disconnect
3. Faucet Adapter Assembly (P/N: A22303) This
screws on the faucet and has a female mating
connector.
Page 8 of 31
4. Portable Water Tank (P/N: PT-1) - This is a self-
contained water source, which is ideally suited
for portable operation. We suggest you use
bottled water and fill the tank to the water fill line
(approximately 2/3). Tighten the cap, insert the
male quick disconnect on the water line into the
female on top of the tank, pressurize by
pumping the handle until you have resistance in
pushing down on the handle, and locking the
handle in place.
IMPORTANT: If you do not feel comfortable doing the water installation yourself, we recommend the
services of a professional plumber. Engler Engineering Corporation will not be held liable for any
damage including, but not limited to leakage caused by improper installation of our products.
PLEASE NOTE: Minerals and foreign particles in the water may cause a buildup or blockage of internal
hoses and parts.
The water filter supplied with this device must be opened and inspected quarterly and we suggest that
the filter disc and O ring be changed out at least once a year. See page 17 for instructions.
CONNECTING THE FOOT SWITCH:
To connect the footswitch to the unit, insert the male quick disconnect into the female quick disconnect
on the rear of the device and then tighten the securing nut by turning it clockwise.
CONNECTING POWER SUPPLY:
First plug the power cord into the unit and then plug the male end of the power cord into a grounded power
outlet. DO NOT remove or bypass the ground pin from the power cord of this device. Doing so will void the
warranty.
IMPORTANT: Your Son-Mate II has been equipped with a universal switching power supply and will not
require adjustments in this regard.
SCALER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Initial procedures at the start of every day.
1. Make sure the water is turned on and flowing to the Device. Rotate the Selector Switch to the
“SCALER” position, the red LED indicator should light up, showing that you have power to the unit.
2. Adjust the power control knob to the minimum power setting fully counter-clockwise. The
Page 9 of 31
digital readout will read 1.
NOTE: The transducer (stack) has already been installed into the handpiece, please do not
remove it at this time.
3. With only the transducer (stack) in the handpiece (no tip installed), set the water control to its
maximum setting by rotating it counterclockwise, (knob will rotate up to 3 and a half turns for
maximum water) hold the handpiece over a sink and depress the footswitch until water comes
out in a stream. This should take a few seconds. This step is done to insure proper operation of
the delay cavitation feature by removing air that may be trapped in the water lines.
4. Insert a sterile tip into the nosecone, and rotate the nosecone in a clockwise direction. Then firmly
tighten by hand.
IMPORTANT: It is important that you DO NOT over-tighten the tips, as this will damage the Stack
and / or tip.
5. Always keep the power control at the lowest setting and the water control to a level where you
have a fine mist at the tip. Higher power settings will result in hotter water.
NOTE: Tips sent from our facility are not pre-sterilized.
IMPORTANT: If you find that tightening the nosecone by hand is not successful, you may lightly
tighten the nosecone with the tip wrench. Since the tip wrench is designed to remove the tips, it
is important that you DO NOT over-tighten the tips with the tip wrench, as this will damage the
Stack and / or the tip.
IMPORTANT: Keep in mind that higher power levels tend to heat the out-flowing water.
Temperature control can be achieved by balancing the power with water flow volume. Thus,
high power settings require high water flow rates and conversely low power requires low water
flow rates.
5. The scaler is now ready for use.
IMPORTANT: Operating this device with hot water may cause damage to gums, lips and
tongue. If the handpiece begins to get warm, stop and check water temperature. If it is hot,
make sure that the power is at the lowest setting and the water is set at a high setting to
provide a lukewarm mist.
