Unit description
Gelovit 200
Gelovit 200 is used to melt and store gel duplicating
material. The temperature of the duplicating
material can be constantly read off an electronic
display.
1 Lid/cover
2 Fuse
3 Main switch, mains connection
4 Documentation
5 Outlet extension
6 Outlet
7 Control panel
Lowerable operating temperature *
Gelovit 200 is equipped with an electronic temper-
ature control. The automatic melting system starts
after the duplicating material is inserted at the push
of button "T1": the material is melted and subse-
quently cooled down to the operating temperature
"T2". By pressing button "T3", the temperature can
be brought closer to the reduced operating temper-
ature "T3" within approx. 20 minutes and
contraction due to hardening can thus be prevented.
Because duplicating material can be kept above the
gelling temperature without clumps occurring only
for a short time, it is automatically heated up to the
operating temperature "T2" again after 10 minutes.
* Suitable for BEGO duplicating materials
Castogel®and Wirodouble®.
Provision time
The melting and cooling down of 6 kg of duplicating
material to the operating temperature takes 3 to
4 hours, depending on the duplicating material used
and the manufacturer.
Built-in timer
By means of a timer, the unit can be set for the night
so that duplicating material is available at operating
temperature at the beginning of the next working
day.
Quality assurance
Gelovit 200 makes an important contribution to
quality assurance because the number of quality-
reducing melting operations can be monitored (see
instructions on page 30…31).
Safety in the event of power failure
In the event of a temporary power failure, the micro-
processor registers the last operating mode and
continues the setting last selected. It is melted again
only when the duplication material has cooled down
below the reduced operating temperature "T3".
The temperatures are factory-set to 93°C for
melting, 42°C for processing and 39°C for working
at reduced operating temperature. The tempera-
tures can be varied and thus adapted to the dupli-
cating material used. For BEGO‘s duplicating
materials Castogel®and Wirodouble®we
recommend the factory-set temperatures. The
settings have to be changed for the BEGO dupli-
cating material Wirogel M (see “Check set tempera-
tures”, page 29).
