To start the polymerisation cycle with the foot control, first select the desired
curing mode by pressing the navigation button on the handpiece. Then, push
the foot control pedal to the right or to the left or down to start the
polymerisation cycle.
The polymerisation cycle can be interrupted by pushing the foot control
pedal to the right or to the left or down.
The length of the cycle is programmable, see section "Planmeca Lumion
Plus polymerisation light" on page 191.
When the polymerisation light is activated, the length of the polymerisation
cycle is displayed on the control panel. When you start the cycle, you will
hear a signal tone. This signal tone is repeated every 10 seconds, and also
at 5 seconds. The progress of the polymerisation cycle is displayed on the
control panel.
Independent mode
The Planmeca Lumion Plus polymerisation light can also be operated in the
independent mode. The independent mode is typically used when the
Planmeca Lumion Plus polymerisation light is attached to the assistant
element, but the independent mode can also be configured to be used on
the dentist side (the configuration is performed by a Planmeca service
technician).
When the Planmeca Lumion Plus polymerisation light is in the independent
mode, it can only be controlled by the buttons on the instrument itself, not
over the control panel or the foot control.
To start the polymerisation cycle in the independent mode, first select the
desired curing mode by pressing the navigation button on the handpiece.
Then, briefly press the start button on the handpiece to start a 10-second
exposure, or press and hold the start button for 2 seconds to start a 20-
second exposure. The polymerisation cycle can be interrupted by pressing
the start button.
In the 10-second cycle, a signal tone is heard at the beginning and the end
of the cycle. In the 20-second cycle, a signal tone is heard as the cycle
starts, after 2 seconds to confirm the start of the 20-second cycle, after 10
seconds and at the end of the cycle.
NOTE
When the Planmeca Lumion Plus polymerisation light is in the independent
mode, it can not be controlled over the foot control.
Refer to the Planmeca Lumion Plus manual of use and maintenance.
