5. Operation
5.1 Description of the Sensor
The Quick is equipped with an infrared sensor that activates the
lamp automatically if hands or other objects reach into the sensor
range. If the hand or other object is removed from the sensor, the
lamp stops after 4 seconds. The distance to activate the lamp via
sensor is approx. 5 cm.
Please note that darker colours reflect less light. For that
reason the sensor may demonstrate delayed reaction
time. In addition, certain chokes for fluorescent lamps
(laboratory day-light lamps) may have a negative
influence on the function range of the sensor.
5.2 Distance between lamp and object
The closer the material is positioned to the lamp lens, the higher
the light performance and thus the curing depth.
The material should be cured at a very short distance
from the lamp lens to assure optimum curing depth. We
recommend curing the objects at a distance of 0–2 cm.
If a greater distance is selected, the material may cure
inadequately or with a limited curing depth.
The recommended curing time differs from one
material to another. Please observe the respective
indications in the Instructions for Use of the
material.
5.3 Description of the timer
The timer indicates how long the object has been cured after
activation of the lamp.
1 beep = 10 Seconds
2 beeps = 20 Seconds
3 beeps = 30 Seconds
4 beeps = 40 Seconds
5 beeps = 50 Seconds
After 60 seconds, the lamps switches off automatically,
since the unit is not designed for continuous curing
purposes.
Maximum operating time is 60 seconds. Then the lamp
has to be allowed to cool for 1.5 minutes. If the
maximum operating time limit is not observed, the lamp
will overheat. This is then indicated by the stand-by
indicator (2) lighting up in red.
To switch on the light again, remove hand from the
sensor range. Then, proceed according to 5.1.
