Overload Protection Circuitry
®
The Coltolux
LED incorporates thermal overload protection circuitry designed to inactivate
the unit if operating temperatures become too high. If this happens, the green light on the
handpiece will extinguish until the unit cools. Once a lower operating temperature is reached
(approximately 10 minutes) the unit will begin to function normally. If the light has not
illuminated in 30 minutes, please contact your provider.
If a problem with the unit is suspected, the following functionality test should be used to
determine if there is an issue with your Coltolux LED Curing Light:
1. Fully charge the unit.
2. Press the black activation button on the handpiece and allow the unit to run
through a complete twenty-second cycle.
3. Repeat Step 2 immediately. Continue until the unit will no longer activate.
The unit should be able to perform a minimum of nine (9) complete twenty-second cycles
before it reaches its thermal overload protection threshold. If this is the case, then the unit is
operating as designed and meets Coltène/Whaledent, Inc.'s test specifications.
To reinforce confidence in the LED' s operation, always test restorative materials utilizing the
provided Test Block (P/N: 10024). Only by testing materials with the test block can true depth
of cure and necessary curing times be determined.
