Periodic measurement of your curing light unit
using the Optilux Radiometer will help ensure
that the light output is within an acceptable

ADDITIONAL SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
a)
CAUTION:
Equipment is not
suitable for use in the presence of a
flammable anesthetic mixture with air
or nitrous oxide.
b)
CAUTION: Do not look directly
at the light emitted from any curing unit.
Do not use this device without suitable
protective eyeware for the operator,
assistant
and
patient.
protective eyeware blocks all energy
below 530 nm.
Refer to Section 14,
ACCESSORIES for suitable protective
eyeware.

OPERATION
We recommend the operator(s) become
familiar with the Optilux Radiometer and
this operator's manual before use.
a) POWER ON:
The Optilux Curing Radiometer is powered
using light energy generated by the curing
unit. It requires no additional power source.
b) MEASURING LIGHT OUTPUT:
The Optilux Radiometer allows the operator
to evaluate the curing unit's performance.
To ensure proper curing, the output light
intensity should be measured prior to each
time curing is performed.
