4. Installation
!!
Prior to installing the unit, make sure
the power supply corresponds to the supply
quoted on the rating plate of the unit.
!!
In order to work with the unit, the power plug must be connected
into a suitably grounded socket. In case of using an extension cable,
make sure that the ground line is not interrupted.

The unit is ready for operation as soon as the power cable has
been plugged into an electrical outlet and the power switch has
been turned on.

mode. Power consumption in the standby mode is extremely low
(<1 W).
5. Operation
5.1 Swiveling the Unit into Working Position
!!
Safe and correct operation of the Pentamix Lite is assured only
when it is in working position. When swiveling the unit, use caution
to avoid the possibility of injury from jamming or crushing your
fingers.
왘
With one hand, slowly tip the mixing apparatus of the Pentamix Lite
mixing unit forward from the horizontal park position until it audibly
snaps into the working position (Fig.1).
왘
Do not push the unit beyond the final position as this could lead to
technical problems.
5.2 Loading the Cartridge
Please carry out the steps in the following sequence exactly.
왘
Have ready one foil bag of base paste and one of catalyst paste as
well as a matching 3M ESPE Penta cartridge for Pentamix Lite.
왘
Insert the foil bags into the unlocked cartridge (Fig. 2).
왘
The locating lugs make sure they are correctly seated.
왘
Press down on the cartridge locking lever (Fig. 3) until it audibly
clicks into place.
5.3 Inserting the Cartridge
왘
Take the cartridge in your left hand.
왘
Turn the plunger adjustment knob clockwise with your right hand until
it stops and hold it in place. The plungers are now in the uppermost
position.
왘
Place the cartridge into the unit.
왘
Rotate the plunger adjustment knob anticlockwise until the plungers
markedly touch the foil bags (Fig. 5).
!!
The unit cannot be activated
until the plungers touch the
foil bags.
왘
Attach a mixing tip prior to begin mixing (see Section 5.4).
5.4 Attaching the Mixing Tip.
Always Attach a Mixing Tip Before Use!
Foil bags equipped with a
PentaMatic
sealing cap may be used
exclusively with 3M ESPE Penta mixing tips.
왘
Release the lock (Fig. 6).
왘
First, place the mixing tip only on the tip of the mixing shaft (Fig. 7).
Turn slightly to align the mixing tip with the corresponding outflow
openings of the foil bags (Fig. 8). Attach the mixing tip and press
down firmly to insure that the mixing tip is seated tightly on the
outflow openings (Fig. 9).
왘
Press the locking lever down until it audibly clicks into place (Fig.10).
5.5 Starting a New Cartridge
왘
Press the green “Start” button on the cartridge (Fig.11).
왘
When a new pair of foil bags is started, you must wait
15-25 sec.
until pressure has built up in the cartridge; the foil bags will then
open automatically.
Once the bags are open, one of the two pastes, which are of different
colors, may flow out first, producing an uneven mixture. For this reason,
observe the flow of the two pastes, discard any uneven mixture,
and do not apply the paste until the mixture shows a homogeneous
color
(Fig.12).
왘
After mixing, leave the mixing tip on the cartridge as a seal!
5.6 Loading the Impression Tray and
Penta Elastomer Syringe
왘
Press the green “Start” button on the cartridge.
Please note: A few seconds pass before the paste becomes visible
in the mixing tip.
The unit only functions as long as the “Start” button is held down.
As soon as the button is released, the paste does not flow any more.
When the “Start” button is released, the Pentamix Lite unit automatically
relieves the tension on the foil bags by withdrawing the plungers, which
is indicated audibly by the sound of the drive motor.
왘
Tilt the tray to load it. Fill the tray bottom continually from one end
to the other, keeping the opening of the mixing tip immersed in the
impression material (Fig.13). If necessary, smooth the impression
material with a spatula.
A mixing tip may only be used as long as the mixing shaft inside the
mixer rotates smoothly. If the mixing procedure is interrupted for more
than 30 sec, the material inside the mixing tip begins to harden and a
new mixing tip must be assembled (refer to 5.4 “Attaching the Mixing
