memory effect and can therefore be recharged at any
time by inserting the charger plug into the charging
socket of the handpiece (see the section "Battery
Power Level Display on Handpiece").
Before using the handpiece for the first time, connect
it to the charger for a period of about 2 hours so that
the new battery is completely charged for the first
time.
The green status light on the handpiece blinks while
the battery is charging. The green status light glows
steadily when the device is fully charged. As a safety
precaution, light-curing is not possible while the
device is charging.

Selection of Exposure Time

{
LED showing
exposure times
Exposure time options: 5, 10, 15, 20 sec, continuous
mode (120 sec), pulse-curing function.
Due to the high light output of the Elipar device, the
times of 5, 10, 15, 20 sec are equivalent to 10, 20,
30, and 40 sec using a light polymerization unit of
conventional performance (between approx. 600 and
800 mW/cm for halogen technology or between 300
2
and 400 mW/cm with LED). Thus the normal exposure
2
times for conventional units can be cut in half without
compromising polymerization performance.
Selected filling composites can be cured in as little
as 5 seconds if they can easily be accessed using
the light guide. Note: position the light guide at the
minimum distance from the composite and expose
for 5 sec. Filling composites which can be cured in
5 seconds are shown in the list included with the
device.
Reduced exposure time is permitted only if the full
light intensity of the Elipar is possible (see section
"Measurement of Light Intensity").
Select the exposure time by pressing the TIME button.
- The selected exposure time is indicated by the
4 green LEDs.
- Each time the button is briefly pressed, the setting
advances to the next (higher) value. All 4 green
LEDs will be turned on for a setting of 20 sec.
Pressing the button again will turn off all of the
LEDs and enable the continuous mode.
- The display advances through the available
settings if the button is kept depressed.
- While exposure is ongoing, the button for selection
of the exposure time is inactive.
