TRIAD
USING THE 'SIGHTLINE'
To ensure optimum curing of all Triad Materials, it
is important to position the Triad appliance at the
proper height within the curing chamber. In the Triad
2000 unit, the alignment sightline is the lowest edge
of the lamp access door. (Refer to Figures 2 and 3.)
Positioning of turntable should be approximately
one-quarter inch below this sightline (created by the
bottom edge of the lamp access door). Simply use the
lift knob to raise or lower the appliance to be cured
to within this range. The mid-point of the appliance
should be lined up with the sightline for optimum
curing.

PROCESSING PROCEDURES
1. Place workpiece to be processed in the center of
the turntable.
2. Set height of turntable using the lift knob (on top)
and the optimum cure "sightline" shown in
Figures 2 and 3 for maximum light cure.
3. Firmly close the chamber access door.
NOTE: Open and close the curing chamber
door using the top one-half to one-third
of the finger grip edge on the right-hand
side of the door. Failure to close the
door properly will not engage the inter-
lock switch at the top of the door, thus
preventing the lamp from operating.

4. Press the POWER switch to ON.
5. Rotate TIMER to desired processing time inter-
val. (See the "Recommended Material Processing
Times" section.)
6. Press the CURE and TABLE switches to activate
lamp and turntable rotation. The lamp will turn
off automatically when the processing cycle is
complete.
NOTE: Should a processing time cycle be
interrupted, recycle the CURE switch
to OFF. Continue processing the work-
piece by pressing the CURE switch to
ON, which will result in a new, full-
term cycle as indicated by the TIMER.
7. Open the chamber access door and remove the
workpiece from the processing chamber.
8. When the fan has cooled the processing chamber
(approximately 5 minutes), press the POWER
switch to OFF.
IMPORTANT:
Within practical working times, complete process-
ing of Triad Materials is not possible using hand-held
light curing devices developed for clinical restorative
dentistry. Therefore, with procedures that call for the
use of a hand-held light to establish an initial set, the
work must then be processed for the minimum rec-
ommended time in a Triad VLC Light Curing Unit.
Only this will assure maximum physical properties
of the Triad Material used.
WARNING:
A protective lens covering the lamp becomes hot
during processing. Avoid contact at any time to
prevent burns.
