4.1 Setting the operating mode

With the key "Mode" the user may toggle between the two
available operating mode options. If only the "
is illuminated, the device mixes without centrifugation.
If both the " " and " " symbols are illuminated, the
device mixes and then centrifuges the sample for 3 sec.

4.2 Setting the mixing time

Mixing times in the range of 1 sec to 39 sec may be
selected. By pressing the keys,"+" or "-", the device
increases or decreases, respectively, the mixing time
by 1 sec. Depressing and holding the key, the device
continues to count up or down.

4.3 Changing the basic settings

P1 - P4
Set both the mixing time and operating mode as
described above, then depress one of the programme
buttons, "P1"-"P4", until two short signals are issued.
This confirms that the desired settings have been stored
in the selected programme.
10s / 8s
The two fixed mixing times of "10s" and "8s" can be
programmed to be used both with and without centri-
fugation. As described above, select an operating mode
with or without centrifugation, and depress and hold
the desired fixed time button until two short signals are
issued.

5. Operation

5.1 Inserting the capsule

The opening mechanism of the capsule holder
works only when the unit is turned on.
Open the cover of the RotoMix device. Open the capsule
holder with a counter-clockwise rotation. Place the
activated capsule with the release opening in the blue
half of the capsule holder, then release the capsule
holder. The holder closes automatically.
Do not operate the device with no capsule inserted!
Do not use capsules weighing more than 6 g
(Error message "Lo" is displayed).

5.2 Mixing

After closing the protective cover press the "Start/Stop"-
" symbol
button. This starts-up the mixing process. The mixing
time and centrifugation time, if any, are counted down in
the time display.
After the mixing time has elapsed, the latest time setting
is re-displayed so that there is no need to re-enter any
value if the same time is to be used.
The selected programme can be interrupted at any time
by pressing the "Start/Stop"-button, upon which the
program returns to its original setting.
CAUTION: For safety reasons, it is not feasible to start
the unit unless the cover is closed. Attempting to operate
the unit with the cover being open causes the time
display to flash and an audible error message to be
issued. Opening of the protective cover during mixing is
associated with a high risk of injury. Hence, the mixing
process is aborted and the error message "Lo" displayed.
This may render the capsule useless! Therefore, never
open the cover until the mixing process is completed and
the capsule holder has come to a complete stop!

5.3 Removal of the capsule

Open the capsule holder with a counter-clockwise
rotation, and remove the capsule.

6. Notes

Due to the more efficient mixing achieved with the
rotating RotoMix device, mixing times have to be reduced
compared to other mixing devices. The following settings
are suitable for 3M ESPE capsule materials:
Previous mixing time
with the CapMix
manufactured by 3M ESPE:
New, valid mixing time
with the RotoMix device:
Capsule materials of third-party manufacturers (including
amalgam capsules) may be processed with the RotoMix
device provided they are suitable for the device in terms
of weight and dimensions (please refer to the section,
Technical Data). The optimal mixing time for processing
with the RotoMix device should be inquired from the
manufacturer of the capsule.
Pay attention to capsule leak tightness when mixing.
Capsules that are not leak tight contaminate the device
with mercury (please refer to 1. Safety, 16.).
