Woodpecker® After-sales Maintenance FAQ
Woodpecker Curing Light
Q: Can curing light be used without a disposable sleeve?
A: It cannot be used without a sleeve for the following reasons:
- The disposable cover can prevent the light-curing machine from being polluted, which is convenient for machine maintenance.
- The waterproof level of the light-curing machine is IPX0 level, which may cause damage to the machine without sleeves.
We offer disposable curing light sleeeves. Welcome to pick up what you need.

Woodpecker Ultrasonic Scalers
Q: How to connect scaler to my dental chair's water supply with a quick connector?
A: Please refer to the video: Woodpecker DTE Water Connector Instruction
Q: Can the scaler work without water supply?
A: No, the working tip of the dental scaler will heat up when it is working. Adding water can cool down the working tip, thereby reducing the damage to the teeth and the working tip. In addition, it can also play a role in cleaning the working environment.
Refer to the document Woodpecker Ultrasonic Scalers Water Supply Method
Q: The scaler vibrates weakly, but everything else is normal.
A:
- Make sure the working tip is tightened.
- Make sure the working mode and gear are selected correctly (vibration intensity G>P>E).
- Try to replace the handpiece.
The above methods cannot solve the problem, contact us to replace the whole machine or other compensation solutions.
Q: The water of scaler is out of control, even if the foot switch is released, the handpiece does not work or the machine is powered off, the handpiece is still leaking.
A: The solenoid valve needs to be cleaned. Contact us for the video: Clean the Solenoid Valve
Q: Is it possible to use the no LED handpiece on a scaler with LED handpiece?
A: Yes, but the handpiece and tail wire need to be replaced at the same time, and the machine needs to be disassembled to change the tail wire, contact us for the video: Operation of Replacing the Tail Wire.
Q: The scaler is powered on normally, and the water is normal, but there is no vibration, or the vibration is discontinuous and intermittent, or the vibration stops suddenly.
A:
- Make sure that the working tip is not loose.
- Check that the plug between the tail wire and the circuit board is not loose or falls off. Contact us for the video: Make Sure the Tail Wire Plug is not Loose or Fall Off
- Try to replace the handpiece or tail wire. Contact us for the video: Operation of Replacing the Tail Wire
The above methods cannot solve the problem, contact us to replace the whole machine or other compensation solutions.

A: Yes, all parts of the handpiece are autoclavable. Refer to the document: Cleaning and Disinfection Steps of Woodpecker Ultrasonic Scalers Handpiece
Q: What is the function of the two water bottles of the scaler machine?
A: We offer 350mL and 500mL water bottles, there is no other difference between the two water bottles except for the capacity. The reason why the two water bottles are attached has the following two usage scenarios: One is to allow the doctor to hold different medicinal solutions or pure water respectively; the other is during the treatment process, when the water in the water bottle is used up, the doctor can directly switch to another water bottle filled with water to achieve seamless switching without leaving the consultation position.
Woodpecker i-Sensor
Q: How to install the software Ai-dental? and install calibration file?
A: Please refer to the video: Woodpecker i-Sensor Software Installation
Q: If the software is already installed on one computer, can it be installed on another computer again?
A: Yes. You can install on as many computers as you want, and you can share on the different computer just make sure you have one computer is always on and working as a server will be fine, the images can be emailed.
Q: Which computer systems can the sensor be adapted to?
A: Our i-Sensor can adapt to Win7-Win11, does not support XP, does not support Apple. The most computer (Win 7-Win 11) can run our software, newer than Win 7 should be fine.
Q: Is the sensor compatible with Opendental management software?
Q: How many U disks are there in the sensor? What's in it?
A: There is only one U disk, which contains two parts, including the sensor software and the calibration file.
Q: Is the U disk in H1 and H2 the same as the content?
A: Yes, it’s the same.
Q: Can the woodpecker imaging software be connected with other sensors?
A: No, Woodpecker sensor imaging software does not have Twain's image receiving function.
Q: Can the woodpecker i-sensors be connected with other imaging software?
A: Woodpecker i-Sensor can connected with imaging software that support TWAIN.
Please notice Woodpecker i-Sensor does not have a TWAIN driver, but it can be used with TWAIN if your software support TWAIN or you download it through a different source.
Q: How does the woodpecker sensor connect with other imaging software via Twain?
A: You need to install the driver of the woodpecker sensor to connect, Please refer to How to Connect Woodpecker i-Sensor to Open Dental Via Twain?
Q: Will the i-Sensor work with other brands of X-ray machines?
A: Yes, our i-Sensor can be used with most x-ray machines on the market, including animal dental x-ray machines.
Q: Can I upgrade the imaging software myself, will it affect the use?
A: Yes, you can download and use the new version of imaging software by yourself, and the previous calibration files and sensors are still compatible.
Q: Can the woodpecker imaging software be connected with other brand sensors?
A: No, Woodpecker sensor imaging software does not have Twain's image receiving function.
Q: Can patient data from other sensor be read on the Woodpecker imaging software?
A: No, patient data needs to be recreated.
Q: Why do images from the sensor show white spots or streaks on the imaging software?
A: The imaging software did not import the calibration file or the calibration file was imported incorrectly.
Q: After installing the sensor software, an error has occurred during starup.
A: It may be that the software calls some sensitive files or areas in the system when it is opened, and administrator privileges are required to call it. Please try to right click on the icon, and click "run as administrator".
Q: If the server is not installed, can the client software be used?
A: No, the client needs to log in to use, and the password account for client login is managed by the server, so when you need to log in to the client, you need to open the server and match it with the client (IP address and port) before you can log in through the account password. If you open the client separately, the server IP cannot be searched.
Q: How to create an administrator account in the imaging software?
A: After the newly installed imaging software is opened, the first registered account is the administrator account by default, and subsequent normal accounts need to be created in the client logged in by the administrator account.
Q: Why I changed the image and data storage path in the client, but I can't find the relevant data in this path?
A: All data is managed by the server and stored in the specified path of the server. If you need to change the path, you need to change it in the server. It is great to change it on the client side. Changing it on the client side is useless.
