- Keep the light guide clean at all times to obtain
full light intensity.
-
Damaged light guides substantially reduce
the light intensity and must be replaced
immediately, sharp edges may cause serious
injury!
Removing and Inserting the Light Guide from/into
the Handpiece
왘
The light guide has a magnetic holder. Remove the
light guide from the handpiece by pulling it towards
the front.
왘
Attach the light guide to the handpiece until it is
firmly in place.
Measurement of Light Intensity
cut in half without compromising polymerization
performance.
왘
Selected filling composites can be cured in as little
as 5 seconds if the light guide can be placed in
close proximity to increment.
Note: position the light guide at the minimum
distance from the composite and expose for 5 sec.
Filling composites which can be cured in 5 seconds
are shown in the list included with the unit.
왘
A reduction in the exposure time is permitted only
if the full light intensity of the Elipar S10 is possible
(see section “Measurement of Light Intensity”).
Select the exposure time by pressing the TIME button.
- The selected exposure time is indicated by the
4 green LEDs.
- Each time the button is briefly pressed, the
setting advances to the next (higher) value.
All 4 green LEDs will be turned on for a setting of
20 sec. Pressing the button again will turn off all
of the LEDs and enable the continuous mode.
- The display advances through the available
settings, if the button is kept depressed.
- While exposure is ongoing, the button for
selection of the exposure time is inactive.
Activating and Deactivating the Light
왘
Briefly press the START button; the light will turn on.
- The LEDs first indicate the set exposure time;
all 4 LEDs light up for 20 sec. Every 5 sec, as the
time runs down, the LEDs will turn off one at a
time; at 15 sec remaining time, 3 LEDs will still be
on, at 10 sec remaining time 2 LEDs, etc.
- The LEDs do not come on at all in continuous
mode; an acoustical signal is emitted every
10 seconds.
왘
If desired, the light can be turned off by pressing
the START button again before the exposure time
is over.
왘
Holding down the START button activates the
tack-cure mode: the unit emits a single short light
pulse which enables the defined curing of Protemp
Crown temporary restorations or a light-curing
cement excess (e.g., RelyX Unicem) to enable easy
removal.
Positioning the Light Guide
왘
Rotate the light guide into the desired position for
polymerization.
왘
To make full use of the light intensity provided, place
the light guide as close to the filling as possible.
Avoid directly contacting the filling material!
Testing area
LEDs showing light
intensity
}
The light intensity of the Elipar S10 handpiece can only
be reliably determined using the Elipar S10 charger!
The circular testing area is located below the scale for
the light intensity on the charger. Measurements carried
out using the Elipar FreeLight or Elipar FreeLight 2
charger (predecessors of Elipar S10), or another
unit will produce incorrect results due to the different
light sources and the varying arrangement of the
components of the units.
Caution!
왘
Clean the testing area with a wet cloth.
왘
Without applying pressure, place the light guide on
the testing area such that the light-emitting opening
of the rod is level with the testing area.
왘
Activate the lamp by pressing the START button.
- The number of illuminated LED’s is indicative of
the measured light intensity: 5 LED’s = 100%,
4 LED’s = 90%, 3 LED’s = 80%, 2 LED’s = 70%,
1 LED = 60%.
왘
If the light intensity is below 100% (fewer than
5 LED’s are ON), check the light guide for conta -
mination or defects.
왘
Either: clean the light guide of any contamination.
Or: clean the glare shield on the handpiece; see
“Care” for instructions about both procedures.
