NOTE:
Verify the line plug of the power supply plug is properly rated for your facility,
and that all connections comply with safe practices and all local requirements.
Always use unit in conjunction with a properly grounded outlet.
3.2 Built-in radiometer
The charging cradle incorporates a built-in power meter, allowing you to see how well
the SmartLite
®
Max Light is performing. (Fig. 4)
The power meter is not intended to measure the performance of the PULSE mode.
Select one of the other modes, and set the timer for 10 seconds. Place the head of
the SmartLite
®
Max Light over the sensor and activate the light. The power meter will
illuminate, showing the relative power output. In STANDARD and RAMP modes, two
green bars is acceptable. In the BOOST mode, the power meter will show a blue bar
above the green ones, indicating the BOOST mode is working at a higher power than
the other modes. Yellow, red or orange lights indicate insufficient power output for
curing (see Troubleshooting section).
Inadequate polymerization due to insufficient curing
• Check compatibility of curing light
• Check curing cycle
• Check curing output before each procedure
3.3 Modes
There are 4 different modes to select from based on the procedure and the
requirement. (Fig. 5)
•
Standard
– The light output is at a steady 2200mW/cm
2
.
•
Boost
– This mode provides additional power to the LEDs, helping them generate a higher power
output up to 2850mW/cm
2
. Since the LEDs function at such high power level, only the 5 second
curing cycle is provided to avoid premature LED failure. You can use multiple boost cycles in
succession to obtain longer Boost curing.
•
Pulse
– The light output is pulsed 10 times a second, giving a net effect of half the power output as
the continuous mode.
•
Ramp
- There is a steady increase of the output from 0 to 2200mW/cm
2
within 4 seconds and then
remains constant.
Timer selection
Curing time can be selected to run at 5, 10, 15 or 20 seconds for all the modes except the Boost mode which
is programmed to run only at 5 seconds.
3.4 Keypad
There are 3 buttons on the key pad for the timer selection, mode selection
and the on/off. (Fig. 6) The on/off button is used to activate and deactivate
the LEDs. Push once to turn on the light and push it again if you need to
turn it off at any time during the curing cycle. The light will default back to
the full time selected if interrupted.
The probe housing the two LEDs connects to the hand piece on top. The two LEDs are confined within the
reflector surface. The probe also houses a heat sink that helps dissipate the heat generated by the LEDs to
avoid the build up of heat that could damage the LEDs.
3.5 Battery status and cord indicator
The battery indicator on the SmartLite
®
Max Light shows the current status of the battery. When
the RED BATTERY LOW INDICATOR blinks, this means the battery has a low charge and urgent
