Maintenance and troubleshooting

Service & troubleshooting

The Syclone Amalgam Separator is designed to provide trouble-free service, with minimal attention. In the unlikely event of a

system-related problem please consult the troubleshooting and maintenance guide below.

Problem: Little or no vacuum at the handpiece.

• Check the sediment level of the container. Replace if full.

• Check the vacuum gauge.

If the vacuum gauge reads normally but there is little or no vacuum to the handpiece, there is probably a clog or a leak

between the handpiece and the Syclone Amalgam Separator. Further troubleshooting of the whole vacuum system may

be required. Please contact your preferred service technician or Crosstex Customer Support.

If the vacuum gauge reads lower than normal and you have a solid collection cup, check, clean or replace element/screen

if necessary. Check operation of the vacuum pump and listen for vacuum leaks. Check connections for breaks, cracks, kinks,

or loose clamps.

If the vacuum gauge reads lower than normal and you just replaced the canister, check the installation of the new canister. If

the vacuum is low there is a possibility that the O-rings on the canister did not seal into the receivers. Check the O-rings and

re-install per the installation procedure.

Problem: Water in the upper chamber of the system.

• Check the sediment level of the canister. Replace if full.

• Check the pH of the evacuation line cleaner; if below 6 or above 8, change canister and line cleaner.

• The transition from the upper chamber to the canister could be clogged.

Problem: Solids are at or above Full Line of canister.

• Change the canister. Inspect the top chamber for solids.

Problem: Top chamber contains some solids which has caused the system to back up.

• Turn on the vacuum.

• Remove the pins.

• Tilt the canister towards the outlet pipe to allow air into the top chamber.

• Place the canister back on and insert the pins.

Problem: Top chamber is full with solids which has caused the system to be in bypass.

There may be a reduction in suction and solids may be released into the waste stream.

• Replace top chamber.

• Do not discard the chamber; it must be recycled. Contact Crosstex Customer Service for additional support.

Maintenance

Line rinsing and vacuum line cleaners:

Cleaners should have these qualities:

Low-foaming, deodorizing, sanitizing

and pH between 6 and 8. Use of line

cleaners outside of this pH range will void

the warranty.

Dental vacuum systems:

Follow manufacturer’s instructions.

Note: It is recommended to rinse no

more than 5 rooms every 10 minutes.

Limit the total maximum ow to the

Syclone™ Amalgam Separator system

during rinsing to 1 liter per minute.

Rinsing too much or too rapidly can

overll the unit and could aect

eciency.

Canister replacement:

Follow instructions included with

the replacement canister. Check the

sediment level of the canister monthly.

Please see the Visual Inspection Log

located on page 12. Optional email

reminders are available when registering

the system for warranty at Crosstex.com/

Syclone.

This procedure should be performed only when

no patients are being worked on, as loss of

chairside vacuum may occur.

Leave the vacuum system running during the entire

canister change-out procedure.

• Full canisters should be handled and disposed

of according to applicable local, state, and

federal regulations.

• Remember to wear safety protective gear

such as gloves and safety glasses or face

shield when handling full Crosstex Syclone™

Canisters.

NOTE: If the system needs to be replaced,

it should be handled, sanitized, stored and

disposed of according to regulations applying to

hazardous waste containing mercury. Remember

to wear safety protective gear such as gloves and

safety glasses or face shield and dispose of per

local codes and regulations.

Before you begin: Examine the upper chamber of your Syclone

Amalgam Separator. If liquid is present, wait until it has drained into

the collection canister before proceeding.

Replacement canister installation

Hazardous Waste Warning

The waste stream treated by the Syclone™ Amalgam Separator is

generated by a dental vacuum system and as such, may contain

concentrations of solid and soluble mercury and silver. All spills should

be considered as hazardous and handled in accordance with standard

hazardous materials (HAZMAT) handling procedures.

Note: Crosstex oers a recycling program for the safe disposal/recycle

of full canisters. Contact your dental distributor to purchase a Syclone

Amalgam Separator Recycle Kit and replacement canister for the safe,

eco-friendly disposal of your full canister.

Purchase of the recycle kit also includes processing of the used canister

for recycling. Please visit the product webpage at Crosstex.com for

1. Sanitize the vacuum system using the sanitization procedure established at your facility.

It is good practice to leave the vacuum pump running for 5 to 10 minutes every time the system is sanitized in order

to allow excess liquid time to evacuate the lines. Please note: record the vacuum gauge reading before removing the

canister. Its should be the same once the canister has been replaced.

2. With the vacuum system still running, remove the full canister from the unit as follows:

a. Open the zip-style bag (provided), remove all ttings from inside and slip the bag over the canister to be removed.

b. Support the canister with one hand while removing the retaining pins with the other hand. Tilt the canister to

release the element-side receiver rst (slotted pipe side – RIGHT side for right-handed installation or LEFT side for

left-handed installation) and then pull down to release the entire canister.

WARNING: Hold the bag securely in the unlikely event that the upper chamber may contain some residual liquid

that may drain during removal of the canister.

c. Decontaminate the contents of the collection canister by pouring 1:100 bleach solution into the canister (this is

done to stay compliant with DOT regulations on amalgam waste shipping).

d. Place the appropriate plugs into the inlet and outlet ttings of the full canister.

e. Place the plastic caps on top of the plugged inlet and outlet ttings of the full canister.

f. Squeeze out all excess air and zip the disposal bag closed.

PPE information

Remember to wear safety protective gear such as gloves and safety glasses or face shield when handling

full Syclone™ Canisters.

3. With the vacuum system still running, install your new canister:

a. Fill the new canister with water before installation to help increase longevity

of the product. The canister can be installed only one way. Note the

alignment of the ttings on the canister with the receiver holes in the upper

unit.

b. Gently insert the ttings into the receiver holes. This can be accomplished

by rocking the canister slightly. The O-rings on the ttings should seat easily

into the upper unit receivers. (If the O-rings appear loose, exchange them for

the large-gauge O-rings included in the kit for a tighter t.)

c. Continue to push the canister into the top chamber until it is fully seated.

d. Insert the retaining pins into their holes until seated as per the gure on page 1.

e. The canister is now locked into place.

4. Fill out the information label:

a. Enter“Date Installed” on the new canister.

b. Enter the“Next Change Due”on the new canister, which should be 12

months from the installation date.

c. Note the vacuum gauge reading. The reading should be the same as before

the canister change.

Your canister must be changed every twelve (12) months or when sediment level reaches the Full Line; whichever occurs rst.

Check the sediment level of the canister monthly. If you would like to keep a written record of the visual inspection, please refer

to the chart on page 12.
