3. Electroforming bars

If there is a contact error at positions 6 / 7 / 8 check all
the contacts. All the contacts of the bar fork must be
working to prevent faulty depositions.

Removing the parts
(see section 2.5.1.)
The unit will start electroforming automatically once
the goldplating bath reaches its operating tempera-
ture. Up until this time you can correct errors (e.g.
poor assembly, wrong layering thickness, wrong
power level) by aborting the process with the
"Cancel" button.
If the deposition process is interrupted, the part cannot
be reused and must be made again with new goldplating
bath, because an interruption may lead to stratification in
the gold layer and loss of firing stability during ceramic
veneering.
Caution: If there is a power failure while the unit is
heating up, it will automatically restart when the
power is restored. During gold deposition a power
cut can be only be bridged for a short time (longer
interruptions lead to stratifications and separation
of the gold layers in ceramic veneers). If a longer
power failure occurs the process stops and the fault
message "F 6" is displayed. Delete the message by
pressing the "Start-Stop" button and the unit
returns to the start-up mode. We do not recommend
the use of parts with a layering thickness of less
than 1.5 mm, as they may be unstable during firing.
New parts should be made.
