12. Heat generation
as with all high performance lamps, the high light intensity involves heat generation. Irreversible damage can occur in the region near the pulp
or soft tissues during prolonged exposure. therefore, the prescribed exposure times in the region near the pulp (adhesive 10 seconds) are to be
observed. uninterrupted exposure times of more than 20 seconds on the same tooth surface as well as direct contact with the gingiva, oral mu-
cosa or skin are to be avoided under all circumstances. In the case of indirect restorations, work should be performed with intermittent intervals
of 20 seconds or via external cooling with air flow.
"SLEEP" FUNCTION
the cordless handpiece is eqipped with a "sleep" function to minimize the unit's energy consumption. the handpiece
switches to "sleep" mode:
• when it is placed into the charging station and becomes fully charged;
• when it is left unused for approximately 30 sec. outside the charger;
the "sleep" mode can be terminated only by pressing the start/stop button. the handpiece display shows the latest
selected exposure time.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE, CHARGING AND REPLACEMENT
the cordless handpiece is equipped with electronic charging control that ensures optimal battery charge and helps avoid overcharging.
• never place the handpiece in the charging station without the battery inserted in the handpiece!
• When working with M+W superlite 1300 for the first time, the cordless handpiece must be charged at least 10 hours.
• In regular work, the cordless handpiece is fully charged for approximately 120 min.
• During the day, between work, put the handpiece in the charger.
• If, during work, the battery becomes out of charge, the countdown timer blinks and after that the display shows "Lb" (Low Battery). In this
case place the handpiece in the charging station for charging.
• LeD indicator cHarGe is illuminated when handpiece is put on the charging station. While charging, there are 3 lines blinking consecutively on
the hadpiece display. When charging is complete, a long beep is heard and for 30 sec. there are 3 blinking lines on handpece display. after that
the handpiece enters "sleep mode".
• use only original M+W superlite 1300 Li-Ion batteries (height 65 mm, diameter 18 mm), 3.7 V, 2400 mah.
• Li-Ion battery loses approx. 20% of its capacity after 500 charging cycles.
• to replace the Li-Ion battery: unscrew the bottom lid of the handpiece and carefully remove the contact electronic board, remove the coupling
and pull the battery out, slightly opening the plastic parts of the handpiece. Install new battery in
reverse order.
• If the handpiece is not to be used for an extended period of time, fully charge the battery before storage and remove
battery from handpiece.
• number of curing cycles with fully charged battery: 4000 sec.
• the charging contacts of the cordless handpiece and charging station must not be contacted by metallic or greasy objects.
• Do not use any other chargers to charge M+W superlite 1300 handpiece different from the original charging station in the set. The battery
must not be immersed in water or thrown in fire.
• When discarding old battery, observe environment protection rules!
OVERHEATING PROTECTION
M+W superlite 1300 is equipped with system for overheating control. If the temperature of the LeD source reaches 50°c, the countdown timer
blinks and after that the display shows "oh" (overheating). after the exposure cycle is completed, the curing light goes off. In this case place the
handpiece in the charging station and as soon as it cools down to 40°c, the work can be continued.
VI. ROUTINE CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1. Examining of lightguide
every day the lightguide tip should be examined for:
• stuck restorative material (it should be removed very carefully with blunt non-metal object);
• mechanical damages on the lightguide.
the above actions should be done to prevent decrease of light intensity. If none of the above improves light intensity, the unit should be chek-
ked in the manufacturer's service.
