Operation - KERR OPTILUX 501 Manuel D'utilisation

9. OPERATION

We recommend the operator (s) become familiar with the unit before
use.
a) POWER ON:
Press master switch S1 to the "ON" (I) position as shown in Figure 10.
Allow 5 seconds for control system to activate before attempting to use
lamp.
IMPORTANT: During periods of frequent use, the unit can be left with
master switch S1 in the "ON" (I) position. Following use, the fan should
be allowed to complete it's cooling cycle and master switch S1 should
always be turned to the "OFF" (O) position. Always be sure to turn
master switch S1 to the "OFF" (O) position at the end of the day.
b) ELAPSED LAMP TIMER:
Observe the display during the first 5 seconds after power up. The
display will read E 0, indicating the elapsed lamp time. The elapsed
lamp timer will accumulate usage of the lamp in one hour increments up
to E99 or 99 hours.
After five seconds the unit will switch to
CONTINUOUS CURING CYCLE mode and the display will read CCC.
The Optilux 501 curing light is now ready for curing.
c) CONTINUOUS CURING CYCLE:
After initial power up, the unit will automatically switch to CONTINUOUS
CURING CYCLE mode, and the blue indicator will illuminate next to C
(CONTINUOUS CURING CYCLE) on the keypad. The display will read
CCC. The CONTINUOUS CURING CYCLE allows the operator to cure
with the output light intensity above 850 mW/cm².
handpiece trigger T1, as shown in Figure 11, will activate the curing lamp
and the display will change to read 0. The display will begin to count the
curing cycle in seconds up to 999 seconds maximum. The curing cycle
can be terminated at any time by pressing the trigger switch a second
time. The display will indicate the total time for the curing cycle. The
display will reset itself after the cooling fan stops or when a new curing
cycle is initiated.
d) STANDARD CURING CYCLES:
There are four STANDARD CURING CYCLES. Keypad keys labeled
10, 20, 30, and 40 each select a fixed curing cycle measured in seconds.
Depressing one of these keys changes the display to indicate the
selected curing cycle. The STANDARD CURING CYCLE allows the
operator to cure with the output light intensity above 850 mW/cm².
Pressing the handpiece trigger will activate the curing lamp. The display
will begin to count the STANDARD CURING CYCLE in seconds. At the
end of the cycle, the display will freeze at the maximum time. The
STANDARD CURING CYCLE can be terminated at any time by pressing
the trigger switch a second time. The display will freeze at the total
curing time used. The display will reset itself after the cooling fan stops
or when a new curing cycle is initiated.
e) RAMP CURING CYCLE:
Depressing the keypad key marked R selects the 20 second RAMP
CURING CYCLE. Initially the display will read 10. The RAMP CURING
CYCLE allows the operator to slow cure with the output light intensity
initially at 100 mW/cm², increasing exponentially to 1000 mW/cm² in the
first 10 seconds of the cycle. The output light intensity remains at 1000
mW/cm² for the final 10 seconds of the cycle. Pressing the handpiece
trigger will activate the curing lamp. The display will begin to count up
from 0 to 20 seconds. At the end of the cycle, the display will freeze at
20 seconds, and the lamp will shut off. The RAMP CURING CYCLE can
be interrupted by pressing the handpiece trigger a second time.
