Safety Guidelines

Configuring and operating this equipment requires precise knowledge and observance of the instructions in this user manual. The equipment is designed only for its intended application.

WARNING

• Servicing and repairs should be carried out only by authorised specialists. Disconnect the power plug before starting any maintenance work.
• Make sure that the equipment is connected to the correct power source.
• The safety valve on the pressure tank opens automatically if the operating pressure is more than 7 bar.
• The pressure can be activated only if the door is closed completely, since a safety door contact is installed.
• Dry-run protection, which switches off at 125 °C. The integrated thermal fuse works automatically. Please just wait until the unit cooled down.
• Warning: Risk of scalding during the Hot Polymerisation.
• Mount the thermal protection cover firmly before start-up (see p. 8)
• Never open the lid while the unit is under pressure!
• Always open the lid slowly!
• Display information have to be followed!
• Please wear heat-resistant gloves.
• For safety-related reasons (hot water, pressure), only the valves and hoses meant for this purpose must be used for draining. If parts of different design are used/ installed (self-made), there is a risk of scalding!

For safety reasons, the pressure setting is limited to max. 3 bar (at 20 ° C). Attention: When working above 100°C, the pressure can increase by approx. 3 bar.
Note: Hence the unit should be filled only with water and should be pre- heated to the desired working temperature, before the actual work process. To do this, select the preheating temperature and pressure accordingly.

Responsibility for Operation or Damage

The responsibility for operating the unit lies exclusively with the owner or user if said unit is incorrectly serviced, maintained or altered by persons not employed by an authorised dealer or if the unit is used in a manner contrary to its specified purpose. The unit has to be maintained and operated in accordance with this user manual. Wassermann Dental-Maschinen GmbH is not responsible for damage arising from the nonobservance of these instructions. Warranty and responsibility provisions contained in the sales and supply conditions of Wassermann Dental-Maschinen GmbH are not extended by these instructions.

Application

The Polyquick 160-T120 is a pressure polymerisation unit for hot and cold polymerisation of plastics. This automat is designed for polymerisation of up to 3 flasks in flask holder or 2 cast resin flasks or rebasing frames or 6 orthodontic regulatings at one time. It can be set to a maximum temperature of 120 °C and the polymerisation pressure can be adjusted to a maximum of 4.5 bar. In automatic mode, the polymerisation time can be preselected up to 99 hours. A touch screen and the newly developed control panel allow the user to set the relevant parameters quickly and easily using self-explanatory symbols. The Polyquick 160-T120 can also be used as a pressure compactor without heating.Only use the unit for this type of application.

Before Starting

Transport
Before transporting the unit, ensure that it has been unplugged from the power socket. Make sure that it is packed correctly in order to avoid accidental damage. Be sure to check for any transport damage when unpacking the goods. Note down any damage if found.

Installation
Open the box, remove the packing materials, and carefully lift out the unit and accessories. Check the included accessories. The unit has to stand horizontally on a steady and even surface. Install the unit in a place where it will not block the working area and the functionality (take the dimensions into account). Do not install the unit outdoors or in places without proper ventilation. Before start-up, be sure the unit reaches room temperature.

Storage
The unit location is very important when it comes to workplace safety, even if it is only to be set up there for a short period. The room should be dry, well ventilated and vibration-free. An even temperature and wooden supports also help. The unit should not be stored or set up outdoors. If the unit is to be stored for an extended period, protect it from moisture and dust.

Installation/ Start-up

ATTENTION: Before start-up screw it to the swivel door!

• Thermal protection cover
• Spacer sleeve, 4 pieces
• Screw, 4 pieces

RISK OF SCALDING!

Before commissioning, please install the following connections: Install the pressure hose included in the scope of supply and provide for an appropriate outlet. It is advisable to install the unit firmly on the drainage system, since very hot water can drain off from it. This also simplifies the process of complete emptying, e.g. for cleaning. After setting the workpiece, fill the unit with tap water, at most up to the engraving in the tank. Establish a pneumatic connection of minimum 2 bar. If the pneumatic pipe is long, pay attention to the hose cross-section (internal diameter min. 6 mm). Every pneumatic pipe must always have a maintenance unit. Ensure a constant pressure by using the pressure reducer.
Finally, insert the plug into the socket – make sure that the voltage specification of the unit and the mains network is identical. Never operate the unit without water, since the heating unit immediately heats up to 60°C or to the preheating temperature when the power switch is activated. If required, the heating unit can be switched off via the display. Preheating temperatures above 100 °C are not stored. When restarting, the  preheating temperature is 60 °C.

Setting the correct Pressure

Before filling the tank, remove the accessories. Afterwards set the correct polymerisation pressure. Proceed as follows (image, see 7.2):

1. Activate main switch (green rocker switch).
2. Close lid.
3. Touch the Pressure key (image, see 7.2). (2.5 bar default).
4. If the pressure is very less (min. 2 bar), increase the pressure (max. 3 bar) using the black regulator on the back side. Release the regulator by pulling to do the setting and press it in once again.
5. If the pressure is too high, switch off the pressure (image, see 7.2) and release the pressure. Turn the pressure regulator on the back side in the “minus” direction several times; then, apply pressure to the tank. You can set the desired pressure by turning the regulator in the “plus” direction.

Temperatures higher than 100 °C: Working is only possible under pressure. If no pressure is set, the heating switches off at 100 °C. Hence working without pressure is only possible at temperatures below 100 °C. For safety reasons, the pressure setting is limited to max. 3 bar (at 20 ° C). Attention: When working above 100°C, the pressure can increase by approx. 3 bar. Note: Hence the unit should be filled only with water and should be pre-heated to the desired working temperature, before the actual work process. To do this, select the preheating temperature and pressure accordingly.

Start-up

Define the unit’s main parameters before switching it on. These settings are performed in the Set-Up Menu 3 . Familiarise yourself with the system’s various options before starting the polymerisation process. This particularly applies to functions 7 and 14 .(Please see „setup menu page 1“ on page 11 of this manual).

Touch the arrow (Start) to start the process of polymerisation. Pause or cancel the programme by pressing the “Stop/Pause”symbol. In programme 2-13 the practice is the same.

The Polymerisation

Preheating temperature

Defines the target temperature once the main switch has been activated. The pre-heat temperature also applies to waiting times and rest periods. Default: 60°C If the programme temperature selected is higher, the temperature reverts back to this value when the programme ends.

After defining the desired working mode 14 , it may make sense to adjust the pre-heat temperature of the programme temperature. This avoids long heat-up or cool-down phases.  Preheating temperatures above 100 °C are not stored. When restarting, the preheating temperature is 60 °C.

Clock timer

This defines the weekday activation and deactivation times.

Programs running currently have a higher priority; they are not switched off until complete.

Sleep button display

When you press the Sleep button, the unit goes into the Sleep mode (all functions except the Timer function are switched off). The unit gets actuated when you press the touch display or with the timer and heats up or cools down to the preset pre-heating temperature.

Heater ON/OFF (Mode: Polymerisation/ Compaction without heater)

Choosing the pressure polymerization mode (pressure and temperature) or Compactor mode (pressure without heater).

Selection of the temperature unit (Fahrenheit or Celsius)

Pictograms for the time and date function cycle.

Selection of the working mode

Defines whether the polymerization process should start immediately or only after the heating value has been reached.

• (Default) The unit heats to the temperature programmed under 6 . After reaching this value, the result measured is validated by a control cycle. If the value is confirmed, the wax polymerization process will start.
• The programmed polymerization begins immediately.
