Cartridge gauge [A]
Indicates amount of material left in cartridge. The cartridge gauge blinks
as long as the level cannot be determined or if the last two level indica-
tors have been reached and only enough material for loading one tray
remains in the cartridge.
Timer 1 [B]
Timer 1 is used for setting the working time for the material used. The
timer counts down with the start of the mixing process. A long acoustic
signal indicates the end of the working time.
Timer 2 [C]
Timer 2 is used for programming the material's setting time. The count-
down starts as soon as the mixing process is completed. Three acoustic
signals indicate the end of the setting time.
Program display [D]
The unit provides storage space for 99 timer settings and an easy recall
function.

Software version [G]
The software version currently installed in the unit is indicated in the
lower right corner for 2 seconds when the unit is turned on.
Cartridge indicator [H]
The cartridge indicator shows that a cartridge is inserted and ready for
use. If (with the cartridge inserted) the indicator shows a crossed-out car-
tridge symbol the cartridge is not inserted correctly.
Forward indicator [I]
If the forward indicator symbol is displayed the plungers can move for-
ward. The symbol blinks when the plungers progress quickly toward the
material. During the mixing process the symbol is fully illuminated.
Reverse indicator [J]
If the reverse indicator symbol is displayed the plungers can move back-
wards. The symbol blinks when the plungers retract quickly from the
material. Once the cartridge exchange position is reached the symbol is
no longer displayed.
Getting started
1. Put MixStar on a flat surface.
2. C onnect the power cord to the unit [2] and to the power supply.
3. Switch the unit on with its toggle switch [1] on the back of the device.
All indicator lights on the display will blink for approx. 2 seconds
following the unit's brief internal self-test. The cartridge symbol is
crossed-out if no cartridge is inserted or the cartridge is not seated
properly. If a cartridge has already been inserted into the unit the level
indicator will blink until the level is determined (after advancing the
plungers).
For safety reasons the unit operates only when a cartridge is inserted.
Using a foot switch (optional)
I f the optional foot pedal is used plug the foot pedal connector into the
port [4] on the back of the MixStar-eMotion and tighten the screw con-
nection. Pressing down on the foot pedal mixes and delivers the impres-
sion material. The process stops when the foot pedal is released.
Preparing a cartridge for use
1. Slide locking mechanism into open position. Do not remove the lock-
ing mechanism from the cartridge.
2. Remove and discard the cartridge cap.
