the handpiece will be green,
indicating the unit is ready for use.
If the light does not light up green,
see Section VI Troubleshooting.
CAUTION: Never modify the
power cord.
WARNING: Explosion hazard. Do
not use in the presence of
flammable anaesthetics.
IV. FUNCTION CHECK
A. Activate/Deactivate Light
Depressing the On/Off button on
the handpiece activates or
deactivates the curing light
(Fig. 4) . Do not hold the button
continuously throughout the
curing cycle. During operation an
audible beep will be emitted every
10 seconds. The unit shuts off
automatically after 60 seconds.
B. Measuring the Light's
Effectiveness
To ensure complete
polymerization at all times, it is
critical to periodically test the light
intensity output.
IMPORTANT: Test the Coltolux
Curing Light before first use, and at
least once every other week
thereafter (depending on usage)
using a light meter and/or the
provided test block.
1. Enter your readings on the "Meter
Reading Chart" at the end of this

Owner's Guide.

®
To test the Coltolux
®
Coltolux Light Meter
(sold separately –
Cat. No. C7900WHT).
Push the light shield away from the
tip of the light lens so it does not
interfere with the sensor. To take
the reading, hold the handpiece in
front of the meter (Fig. 5) . Place
12/1/04 11:11 AM
the light lens on top of the sensor
located on the front of the meter.
Activate the light, and allow ten
(10) seconds for stabilization of
the meter.
IMPORTANT: Place the light lens on
the center of the sensor, and hold
steady while taking the reading.
To take another reading, repeat
the steps outlined above.
2. Meter Display
A reading of 300 mW/cm
indicates that the light output is
acceptable for the polymerization of
material up to a 2.0 mm depth.
Follow the dental material
manufacturer's instructions for
recommended exposure time, and
check using the supplied test block.
A reading below 300 mW/cm
or a reduction of intensity of the
light output in comparison to the
original value, indicates that
corrective action should be
taken. (See Section VI, D
Troubleshooting.)
V. CLINICAL APPLICATION
CAUTION: Always test

LED
restorative materials with this
LED light by using the supplied
test block.
A. Polymerization
• Determine the exposure time
in accordance with the dental
material manufacturer's
instructions or by using the
test block provided.
LED , use
• Remove the charged handpiece
from the charger base; position
the light shield; slide the barrier
sleeve over the light and light
shield; direct the tip of the light
lens as close to the restorative
material as possible without
touching.

• Activate Coltolux
momentary push of the button.
Avoid contact with unpolymerized
restorative material, glass
ionomer, liquid resin or bonding
agent because direct contact will
cause these materials to adhere
to the light lens. This will block
the light transmission and result
in improper polymerization.
B. Over-Heating Protection
®
Coltolux
against overheating.
2 or higher
1. A thermal overheat protector will
be activated when the unit is in
continuous operation for longer
than three (3) minutes. The Blue
light output will shut off. The
thermal overheat protector will
automatically reset once the unit
is cooled and ready for use.
2 ,
Reactivate the Coltolux
light by a momentary push of
the button.
VI. TROUBLESHOOTING
A. If the light on the charger base
does not illuminate:
• Check to see that the power cord
is securely plugged into the
charger base and the wall outlet.
• Ensure the wall outlet has power
by plugging a lamp into it.
B. If the On/Off button on the
handpiece does not activate the
blue LED curing light and the
green light on the handpiece is
not lit (and handpiece is not in
base):
• The unit may be overheated.
Allow unit to cool and try again.
• The unit may be discharged
and needs charging. Replace
handpiece in the charger base.
If the charger base LED is red,
handpiece is being charged.
If it is not, see "A" above.
