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 112°C (brown button on the left side of the device).
WARNING: Risk of scalding during the Hot Polymerisation.
Never open the lid while the unit is under pressure!
Open the lid slowly!
Display information have to be followed!
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. 4 bar (at 20 ° C).
Attention: When working above 100°C, the pressure can increase by approx. 2 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 device lies exclusively with the owner or user if said device is incorrectly serviced, maintained or altered by persons not employed by an authorised dealer or if the device is used in a manner contrary to its specified purpose.
The unit has to be maintained and operated in accordance with this user manual.

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 260-T105 is a pressure polymerisation unit for hot and cold polymerisation of plastics. It can be set to a maximum temperature of 105°C and the polymerisation pressure can be adjusted to a maximum of 4 bar. In automatic mode, the polymerisation time can be preselected up to 99 hours. It has a particularly large pressure pot volume  and can hence also accommodate extra large articulators or up to 6 brass flasks including clamp. 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 260-T105 can also be used as a pressure compactor without heating.
Only use the device 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 device and accessories. Check the included accessories.
The device has to stand horizontally on a steady and even surface.
Install the device 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 device reaches room temperature.
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.

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 vibrationfree. 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

Before commissioning, please install the following connections: Install the pressure hose included in the scope of supply and provide for an appropriate outlet.

After setting the workpiece, fill the device 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 device and the mains network is identical.
Never operate the device 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.

Setting the Correct Pressure

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

1. Activate main switch (green rocker switch).
2. Close lid.
3. Touch the Pressure key 5 (image, see 7.2). (3 bar default).
4. If the pressure is very less (min. 2 bar), increase the pressure (max.4 bar at 20°C) 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 5 (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 (Pressure regulator at 20 °C: max. 4 bar)

For safety reasons, the pressure setting is limited to max. 4 bar (at 20 ° C).
Attention: When working above 100°C, the pressure can increase by approx. 2 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 10 of this manual).
Preheating temperatures above 100 °C are not stored. When restarting, the preheating temperature is 60 °C.

Description of features 5 – 14

Pressure ON/OFF
Bevore starting the programme you have to choose the pressure.
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.

Programme parameter und Polymerisation
Defines the parameters for the programme temperature and time.
You can store 13 programmes counter (1-13).
In every counter up to three polymerisation stages 1-3 can be mapped.
Touch the numbers to change the values.

Polymerisation level 1 (Programme 1):

Examples of level 2 and level 3 :

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.

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

Sleep button display

When you press the Sleep button, the device goes into the Sleep mode (all functions except the Timer function are switched off). The device 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
Choosing the pressurepolymerisation 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 polymerisation process should start immediately or only after the heating value has been reached.

(a) (Default) The device 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 polymerisation process will start.
(b) The programmed polymerization begins immediately.
