Selecting the curing time

When the time selection button is pressed for the first
time, the curing time selection mode is activated. The
display now shows the curing time instead of the curing
program (see also Indicators on the handpiece). The
desired curing time is selected using the time selection
buttons. Users may choose between 10, 20, 30, 40 and
120 seconds. If the curing time is not changed for longer
than 2 seconds, the display will again show the curing
program.
Observe the Instructions for Use of the material applied
when selecting the curing time (for selected materials,
see Selecting the curing program). The curing recommen-
dations for composite materials apply to all colours and,
if not mentioned otherwise in the Instructions for Use
of the relevant material, apply to a maximum layer
thickness of 2 mm.
Generally, these recommendations apply to situations
where the emission window of the light probe is placed
directly over the material to be polymerized. Increasing
the distance between the light source and the material
will require the curing time to be extended accordingly.
For instance, if the distance to the material is 5 mm, the
effective light output is reduced by approximately 50%.
In this case, the recommended curing time has to be
doubled.

Cure Memory function

The most recently used settings are automatically saved
in the combination of curing program and curing time. As
a result, the last used curing program with the corre-
sponding curing time is always available when switching
on the curing light. Similarly, each curing program that is
selected after the light unit has been switched on is avai-
lable together with the curing time last used with it.

Start

The light is switched on by means of the start button. The
indicator on the display changes from the curing program
to the (elapsed) curing time.
After the selected curing time has elapsed, the curing
program is automatically ended. If desired, the light can
be switched off before the set curing time has elapsed by
pressing the start button again.
The fan is activated simultaneously with the light. After
the curing time has elapsed, the fan continues to run for
some time to cool the apparatus. The power pack must
not be disconnected from the power supply as long as
the fan is still running.

If preferred, the acoustic signals can be turned off. To
turn off the acoustic signals, press and hold the start but-
ton for approximately 30 seconds while the light is off. To
turn the acoustic signals back on, press and hold the
start button for another 30 seconds while the light is off.

Light output

If the Power-Booster light probe is used, the indicated
light output fluctuates in the tolerance range of the LEDs
of approximately ± 10%. The light output is controlled
and maintained at a consistent level by the electronic
components of the curing light.
If parallel-walled light probes (8, 10 or 13 mm) are used,
the indicated light output is reduced by
approximately 50 %. In such cases, the curing time has
to be extended accordingly.

Measuring the light output

The light output of bluephase C8 and the 13 > 8 mm
Power-Booster light probe supplied with the kit can be
checked with the light meter, which is integrated in the
handpiece holder. For this purpose, remove the anti-glare
cone and place the tip of the light probe in contact with
the light meter without applying pressure.
