ASI- The leader in Advanced Systems Integration www.asimedical.net 5
Triton™ 2021 Manual
Theory of Operation
The Advanced Delivery System is a pneumatically controlled system that uses standard compressed air for operation of dental
tools and accessories and for pressurizing a closed water supply. The system uses air pressure from a foot control to operate
air driven tools and also to provide a signal to turn electric instruments on and off. This pneumatic control capability provides
flexibility in that additional instruments can be included on the system for operation from the same foot control as described
below:
Handpiece Control and Operation
The system utilizes common industry type technology for selection and activation of air driven
drills and instruments via a five (5) position control block. The block contains individual gasket
diaphragms that are held in the closed position by compressed air supplied by the handpiece
holders. When a dental handpiece is removed from its holder, the compressed air is relieved off
the gasket diaphragms for that particular instrument thereby allowing compressed air and water
to flow to the handpiece when the foot control is depressed. The flow rate of this compressed air is
controlled by individual stems on the top of the block and the flow of water by individual needle valves
with knobs located on the front and side of the unit.
Electric instruments such as the ultrasonic handpiece and electric motor are controlled via the same
control block. However the compressed air that flows from the block is routed to an air/electric switch
that uses an air driven piston to close contacts when activated to thereby send an electric signal for
the ultrasonic and electric motor to operate. When the foot control is released, these instruments will
then turn off.
The System uses an air driven poppet style foot control valve that when depressed will send
compressed air to the control block to operate whichever handpiece is removed from its
holder. The foot control also features a toggle valve for selecting water to spray from the
handpieces. When the toggle is activated and the foot control is depressed, it will allow
an air signal to travel through the foot control tubing to open a water relay valve allowing
water to flow to the selected handpiece. When the foot control is released it will exhaust off
the air to the water relay valve and allow it to shut.
Closed Water System
The Closed water system uses two one liter plastic bottles designed for holding pressure.
The bottles can be filled with clean tap or distilled water for the source of water supply
to the dental drills and air/water syringe. The system works by supplying compressed air
regulated to 35 psi which pressurizes the water within the bottle and forces it up through a
plastic pick up tubing in the bottle.
Quick Start Up List
The operator is expected to fully read and understand all aspects of the operation manual for operation of this dental system.
The following is a brief condensed highlight of steps to use the system.
Verify Mechanical Integrity and Safe Use – After unpacking the unit, look for any damage that could affect safe
and proper operation. Ensure there are no missing parts or accessories. Carefully inspect components for tightness and the
absence of cracks, excessive wear or frayed electrical cords. If there is any adverse damage or the lack of mechanical integrity
that would prevent the safe use or operation of the system, it should not be used until repair or replacements correcting the
defects are made.
Verify Handpiece Placements – Ensure all handpieces are placed into their correct holders and that the corresponding
tubing is correctly situated. This system uses auto holders that activate the instrument once it is removed. If any instruments
are incorrectly placed into holders, the selected instrument by the operator will fail to work. Quick Check – Verify all tubings
hanging straight down are not crossed and are placed in sequential order from left to right on the holder bar. This will ensure
they are placed correctly.
Verify Holder Switches are Active – The auto handpiece holders feature a lock out switch levers which can be used to
disable function of that instrument if desired by the operator. Ensure all these levers are pointing straight down towards the
6 ASI- The leader in Advanced Systems Integration www.asimedical.net
Triton™ 2021 Manual
floor to ensure all holders are set to active. Otherwise an instrument may fail to operate when removed from the holder.
Verify Water System – Check and or fill water bottles appropriately and ensure the air pressure switch is turned on and
that air pressure in the gauge reads approximately 30-35 psi.
NOTE: For systems that have been stored and are being used first time, disinfect the water system by
running an approved disinfectant throughout the water lines before patient use. Follow your approved
protocol for disinfecting dental water lines.
Verify Handpiece Operation – Handpiece instruments can be picked up and operated briefly by pressing the foot
control. Verify fiber optic illumination systems light and operation of other instruments. Water can also be sprayed from
instruments to ensure it is working correctly. 1.5 Unpacking and Setup
Carefully remove all packaging material from around and underneath the unit and remove the accessory box, which may
contain additional items required for installation. Inspect the unit for any obvious signs of shipping damage. If any damage is
discovered, immediately contact our Customer Service Department at (800) 566-9953.
Roll the unit to its location on a level surface. Place the handpiece tubings, optional instruments, the air/water syringe and the
high and low volume evacuation valves into their respective holders. Position the foot control and tubing on the floor toward
the front of the unit.
Locate the clean water system inside the door on the side of the system. Fill the bottles with clean water or other approved
solutions. Please refer to 2.3 Clean Closed Water System for more information.
1.3 Electrical Installation
Once the correct voltage selection has been verified and configured if necessary, unwind the power cord from the back of the
unit and plug into an appropriate electrical outlet.
Turn the unit on by switching ON the Main Power switch, located at the rear of the system.
To turn on the air, switch ON the Air switch, next to the Main Power switch. The air compressor will turn on and begin
pressurizing the system. The air compressor will automatically shut off after a few minutes when the air tanks have reached
full pressure.
To turn on the suction, switch ON the Suction/Vacuum switch, next to the Main Power switch. The vacuum pump will run as
long as this switch is on.

2.0 COMPONENT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 Clean Closed Water System
The Dual Closed Clean Water System (see figure 2.1-A) features easy-to-fill,
pressurized water bottles that enable you to provide clean water and control the
quality of water to your handpieces and air/water syringe. The water bottle is
made of non-porous plastic. It is virtually unbreakable, and it does not impart an
after-taste to the water.
2.1.1 How It Works
Air, regulated to approximately 35 psi, is supplied to the water bottles through
tubing attached to the bottle caps. The air pressure in the bottle forces clean water
from the water bottle into the water pick-up tube and out to the handpiece control
blocks, syringe, and auxiliary quick connects. The water system supplying water to
the oral cavity is now a “closed system,” allowing you to control water quality and
water system asepsis.
2.1.2 Filling the Bottles
Locate the Dual Closed Clean Water System (may be mounted inside the unit or
on the exterior). Locate the toggle switch for supplying air pressure to the bottles. Figure 2.1-A
Flip the switch to the OFF position to turn off the air supply to the bottles.
Unscrew the bottles and clean as appropriate. Fill the bottles with clean or distilled water to a level just below the screw
threaded portion. Re-attach the bottles and hand tighten only.
If using distilled water, it is recommended that some type of antimicrobial agent, approved safe for dental procedures, be
added to prevent potential bacterial growth in the system.
2.1.3 Operating the Dual Closed Clean Water System
The closed clean water system features a selector valve that allows the operator to choose solution from bottle 1 or bottle 2.
Turn the air pressure toggle switch to the ON position and ensure that the selector switch is flipped to the bottle containing
the desired solution. The system will now provide solution to the delivery unit and corresponding handpieces.
2.1.4 Disinfecting the Water System
Refer to Cleaning and Disinfection Section of the Manual for disinfection of the clean water system
2.1.5 Purging Water From the System
Running compressed air through the water lines is an easy and effective way to remove water from the lines and prevent
stagnant water from residing in the lines during temporary or long term storage of the system. To purge the water, remove the
bottles and completely empty them of their liquid contents. Then replace the bottles and turn on the air pressure supply to the
bottles. Run the handpiece connections and air water syringe until there is no more water particles exiting them. The lines
will now be sufficiently dry for storage.
2.2 Air/Water Syringe
Check the flow of air, water and spray from the syringe. Press the right button
for water stream. Press the left button for air. Press both simultaneously for
spray. To adjust the flow of air, turn the syringe air adjustment knob clockwise
to increase, counter-clockwise to decrease. To adjust the flow of water, turn the
syringe water adjustment knob until the desired level of flow is achieved (see
Figure 2.2-A).
2.2.1 Tip Removal and Replacement
To remove the syringe tip, press down on the outside collar. When you feel a Figure 2.2-A
soft click, the tip may be pulled straight out. Hold the collar down and insert
the new tip. Be sure to press it all the way in, then release the collar. Test the installation by giving a firm pull on the tip to
assure that it is inserted all the way, and that the locking mechanism is engaged.
ASI- The leader in Advanced Systems Integration www.asimedical.net 11Triton™ 2021 Manual
2.3 Handpieces
Refer to the handpiece manufacturer’s instructions for the proper connection, use and maintenance of the handpiece prior to
attaching them to this system.
Connect the handpieces to the appropriate tubing connector. The handpieces are automatically activated whenever they
are removed from their holder. (Ensure that only one handpiece is removed from the holder at a time to prevent multiple
handpiece activation. If so equipped, engage the handpiece lockout feature for additional safety.)
Handpiece holders can slide from side to side on the bar, they can ratchet around the bar,
and they can be rotated. For instrument handpieces, a manual lockout lever shuts the
holder off so the instrument can be removed without having it activated by the rheostat. To
engage the lockout, lift the lever to a horizontal position. To return the holder to normal
operation, point the lever back down to the floor.
2.3.2 Coolant Operation – Adjusting Coolant Spray
To activate the coolant water for a handpiece flip the toggle switch either located on the
front of the system or on the foot control. To deactivate the coolant water, flip the toggle
switch to the OFF position.
To adjust coolant spray, locate the adjustment knob on the unit on the side or front. Turn
the toggle switch for coolant spray to ON, then turn the adjustment knob (clockwise to
decrease, or counter-clockwise to increase) until the desired level of spray is achieved
(see Figure 2.3 - A). Note: For multiple instruments that provide coolant, individual
adjustments are provided and are located in order from left to right.
Figure 2.3-A
2.4 Fiber Optics
To determine the style of fiber optics you will need for your handpiece, look at the back of your handpiece or the swivel
coupler and compare the connections to the following drawings. For bulb replacement please refer to Service section of
this manual.
2.4.1 Five Hole Fiber Optic Systems
Popular in the U.S., these systems are an adaptation of the four hole handpiece connection, simply by
adding a fifth hole for the light to enter the back of the handpiece. The light travels from the bulb up
through the swivel coupler and through the handpiece via fiber optic glass rods.
2.4.2 Six Pin Fiber Optic Systems
Standard in Europe, these systems are also used in the U.S. due to the influence of European brand
handpieces sold in the U.S. These systems are similar to five hole systems; however, instead of having the
small bulb in the connector at the end of the tubing, the bulb is contained in the swivel coupler from the
handpiece. The connector at the end of the handpiece tubing has two electrical sockets that connect to the
two small wires. The swivel coupler has two electrical pins that drop into these sockets when it is attached.
Unless specifically requested, units purchased with optional Universal Fiber Optics are set to a five hole configuration at the
factory. To modify a five hole handpiece tubing to work with a six pin fiber optic handpiece, remove the fiber optic bulb from
the handpiece tubing and insert the ISO adapter provided in your Accessory Kit.
First, remove
bulb.
Replace bulb
with adapter.
12 ASI- The leader in Advanced Systems Integration www.asimedical.netTriton™ 2021 Manual
2.4.3 Fiber Optics Operation
In order for fiber optics to work, the fiber optic handpiece must be attached to the handpiece tubing. Once the handpiece has
been removed from its holder, press the foot control to activate the fiber optics.
The specific handpiece air pressure may need to be increased to create the back pressure, depending on the type of fiber
optic handpiece you are using. Please refer to Adjusting Handpiece Pressure for more information.
2.5 Oral Evacuation System
How It Works
To use an evacuation handpiece, remove the valve from the holder and insert the desired tip into the valve. The saliva ejector
valve accommodates standard saliva ejector tips and the HVE valve accommodates standard 7/8” tips.
To ensure maximum suction flow, periodically check and replace the solids trap screen located on the front of the system.
Remove the cover to the solids trap, lift out the old screen, insert the new screen and replace the cover to the solids trap.
2.6 Self-Contained Vacuum Pump
The vacuum pump is activated when the Suction/Vacuum On/Off switch, located on the rear of the unit, is in the ON
position.
To use, open the lever on the evacuation handpiece. To maximize vacuum strength of the evacuation handpiece, close the
lever valve of the other evacuation handpiece whenever it is not in use.
Note: The strength of the vacuum pull to the oral evacuation system is regulated by the vacuum relief valve. The relief valve on
the system is pre-set to approximatley 12” Hg.
Please refer to the 3.2 Purging the Waste Canister and Cleaning the Evacuation System for more information.
2.7 Suction Canister with Amalgam Separator
The system includes a suction canister for holding liquid contents obtained from evacuation by the suction handpieces. The
contents must be emptied daily. The suction canister has an overflow switch to help prevent accidental overfilling of the
canister. However it is important to empty the liquid before it reaches capacity to prevent potential liquid being pulled into the
vacuum pump. Follow the instructions under maintenance for purging and cleaning the suction system.
The bottom of the suction canister has a sediment bowl which is designed to provide an internal amalgam separator. The
system uses the settling method for heavy particles including fine particles of dental filling amalgam to be captured in the
sediment bowl. The sediment bowl should be checked every three months. See Maintenance instructions for checking and
replacing the Amalgam Separator bowl.

3.0 MAINTENANCE
3.1 Equipment Care and Inspection
The equipment should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after use each day to maintain optimal performance.
The following visual checks and inspections should be performed before operating the unit:
Look for mechanical damage that could affect safe operation.
Ensure there are no missing parts or accessories.
Inspect components for tightness, cracks, wear or frayed electrical cords.
Should mechanical or other damage be evident that would affect the safe use or operation of the system, it should not be
used until repair or replacements correcting the defects are made.
3.2 Purging the Waste Canister and Cleaning the Evacuation System
The canister should be purged and the oral evacuation system cleaned whenever the waste collection canister is full, or at the
end of the day’s treatment procedures.
IMPORTANT: The vacuum receptacle has an overflow shut-off device to prevent the canister from being over-filled with liquid
flowing into the vacuum pump. It is important to regularly empty this container to avoid inadvertently filling the canister to
capacity during a treatment procedure.
To purge the contents from the canister, position or move the unit near a sink or other acceptable sewer drain. Unwind the
purge tubing, located on the back of the unit Place the end of the tubing into a sink drain or other acceptable receptacle.
Locate the waste pump toggle switch on the back of the unit, above the waste purge tubing. Flip the switch ON to purge the
contents of the waste collection canister.
! IMPORTANT: The waste pump will remove the liquid under high pulsating pressure. Therefore, it is necessary to
hold the hose by hand or ensure that it is firmly in place before pumping out the contents.
Note: For “hands free” purging of the system, the tubing can also be connected to a receptacle to drain directly into the “P”
trap of sinks Please refer to 1.5 Installation of Optional Purge Hose Quick Connect Kit for more information.
After the waste contents have been emptied, fill a one quart reservoir with any properly prepared NON-FOAMING vacuum
cleanser or ASI’s Evacuation System Cleaner (P/N 95-0101).
Using the high volume evacuator, suction the prepared cleaner solution into the system and leave overnight, or longer, if
necessary. This will allow the enzyme solution to properly clean.
Purge contents before starting dental procedures. Suction one ounce of concentrated vacuum cleanser prior to the day’s
dental procedures to start enzyme breakdown as fluids are drawn in to system.
! CAUTION: Due to its caustic nature, DO NOT use BLEACH as a disinfectant, as it will corrode certain internal
parts. Small amounts used as an irrigating solution for dental procedures is acceptable.

3.3 Amalgam Separator Bowl Checking and Replacement
To remove the sediment bowl have a qualified service personnel open the back panel of the delivery system. See Service
instructions for access. The amalgam separator is located on the left above the vacuum pump. Loosen the Velcro straps under
the separator (see Figure 3.3 - A). Grab the sediment bowl with both hands and remove by rotating while pulling down (see
Figure 3.3 - B). Once the bowl is removed, empty the contents into an appropriate hazardous waste receptacle to send to an
authorized mercury disposal service provider. Replace the bowl by sliding it into the amalgam separator until seated. Secure
with the Velcro straps. Close the back panel and secure.
Figure 3.3-A Figure 3.3-B
3.4 System Air Pressure
An air filter/regulator (see Figure 3.4 - A) controls system air pressure and is preset to 65-75 psi.
The air/filter regulator is located inside the unit, at the base of the aluminum air tanks. To access,
remove the panel screws and open the back panel. Read the air gauge provided. If the system
pressure is not 65-75 psi, simply lift the adjustment knob and turn clockwise to increase pressure
or counter-clockwise to decrease pressure. To release excess pressure, press the Air Syringe button
before reading the gauge. When the desired pressure is reached, push the adjustment knob back
down to lock it in place and prevent accidental pressure change.

3.5.2 Disinfecting the Dual Closed Clean Water System and Handpiece Tubing
There are many disinfectant protocols that are acceptable for use with the ASI closed clean water system, such as popular
brands of tablets and antimicrobial solutions. Please follow those manufacturers guidelines.
CAUTION: Due to the caustic nature of bleach, DO NOT USE in this system. It can corrode certain internal parts and will
void warranty coverage of these components.
If desired, you may fill the bottle(s) with a solution of 10 parts water and 1 part mouthwash, such as SCOPE, or another type
of disinfectant. For more information on this protocol, please see abstract entitled “A Chemical Treatment Regimen to Reduce
Bacterial Contamination in Dental Water Lines” in the May 1997 issue of JADA. If using another type of disinfectant, follow
the instructions provided with your disinfectant for effective control of the growth of biofilms in the water lines.c
3.53 Syringe Tips
Tips may be sterilized by steam autoclave, ethylene oxide gas, or chemical vapor process. Maximum sterilization temperature
is 280º Fahrenheit (138º Celsius). Be sure to thoroughly rinse all cleaning agents from the tips before sterilization. This is
particularly important when using chemical vapor because cleaning agents may react with sterilization chemicals and form
crystals that can clog the tips.
