III. SET-UP AND ASSEMBLY
• Coltolux® LED is designed as a cordless handpiece unit with a
separate charger base . Place the charger base on a smooth flat
surface in an area that is dry and free of dust, is convenient and
has an outlet within easy reach of the supplied power cord .
Export units include additional plug adapters (Fig . 2F) . Install the
appropriate plug adapter onto the power supply (Fig . 3) .
• Remove the protective insert by first sliding the release button
in the direction indicated by the arrow . Hold the button in this
position while removing the insert from the supply .
• Angle the top of the new adapter into the recess of the supply .
Slide the release button in the direction indicated while
simultaneously pressing the new adapter into place .
Please Note: Additional plug adapters are not supplied for Australian
and New Zealand markets. Plug the power cord into the wall outlet
and then into the charger base. A green light on the charger base
indicates power is available to charge the handpiece.
• Insert the handpiece into the charger base . When the handpiece
is being charged, the light on the charger base will be orange .
When the handpiece is fully charged and ready, the orange light
on the charger base will turn green .
The initial charging of the handpiece will require approximately
3 hours to fully charge .
• When the handpiece is removed from the charger base the
small light above the On/Off button on the handpiece will be
green, indicating the unit is ready for use . If the light does not
light up green, see Section VII Troubleshooting .
IV. FUNCTION CHECK
A. Activate/Deactivate Light
Depressing the On/Off button on the handpiece activates or
deactivates the curing light (Fig . 1c) . 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 20 seconds .
B. Measuring the Light's Effectiveness
To ensure complete polymerization at all times, it is critical to
periodically test the light intensity output .
C. Radiometer Display
A reading of 300 mW/cm
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
intensity of the light output in comparison to the original value,
indicates that corrective action should be taken . (See Section VII, D
Troubleshooting . )
V. INDICATORS
A. Ready Mode
When the unit is charged and ready for use the handpiece indicator
will light green .
2 or higher indicates that the light output
, or a reduction of
2
B. Sleep Mode
If the handpiece is left out of the charger base for more than
15 minutes the unit will enter sleep mode . During sleep mode
the handpiece indicator light will not be lit . Activating the unit or
placing the unit into the charger base will wake it from sleep mode .
If the indicator light is not lit, and the unit does not respond to On/
Off button presses, the battery may need to be charged . Place the
unit into the charger base and check that the charger base indicator
light turns orange . If the light does not turn orange see section VII .
Troubleshooting .
C. Thermal Protection Mode
The red indicator light on the handpiece indi-
cates the unit has entered thermal protection
mode. Action must be taken to allow the unit
to cool.
WARNING
The Coltolux® LED incorporates thermal protection circuitry
designed to inactivate the unit if operating temperatures become
too high . If this happens, the handpiece indicator light will turn red
until the unit cools . Once the handpiece has sufficiently cooled
(approximately 10 minutes) the indicator light will return to green
indicating the unit is ready for use . If the indicator light does not
return to green within 20 minutes contact your dealer or Coltène/
Whaledent Inc . for service .
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 . Activate the unit allowing it to complete the entire 20 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 18 complete
twenty-second cycles before it enters thermal protection mode .
If this is the case, 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 . Only by
testing materials with the test block can true depth of cure and
necessary curing times be determined .
D. Low Battery
When the unit's battery has reached a low level the handpiece
indicator light will blink green . The unit may still activate once it has
reached the low battery state, however, few activation cycles remain
and it is recommended the unit is placed on the charger to fully
recharge the battery .
If the unit detects a low battery condition while in thermal
protection mode the handpiece indicator will blink red . Once the
unit has sufficiently cooled the indicator may return to blinking
green and, depending on remaining battery charge, the unit
may still activate, however, few activation cycles remain and it is
recommended the unit is placed on the charger to fully recharge
the battery .
E. Fault Mode
If a fault is detected by the unit the handpiece indicator will turn
solid orange and activating the unit will result in an error sound . See
section VII . Troubleshooting .
