Safety instructions
Attention: Read the following notes before connecting and putting the unit into service.
The operating service and the function of the unit can only be guaranteed, if the general
safety and accident prevention instructions of the legislation as well as safety and working
instructions are followed.
1. This unit must only be used according to the present working instructions. We cannot
be held liable for damages which have been caused by improper treatment.
2. The indicated voltage on the type plate has to meet the voltage of the power source.
3. The unit must only be connected with a socket with protective conductor. Never
touch the plug with wet hands.
4. Put the unit on a stable and even basis.
5. Do not intrude any objects into the unit outside of the polymerization chamber.
6. Only those appliances and square parts may be used which are released by the
manufacturer. Pro3dure are not responsible for damages caused by the user of
external parts.
7. Do not operate the unit if the lid is open.
8. The unit has to be examined before operation in the view of proper condition. If the
unit is not in proper condition, it must be used and has to be marked accordingly.
9. Before cleaning and maintenance of the unit or exchange of parts the plug has to be
disconnected.
10. The opening of the unit and repairs are only to be carried out by accordingly trained
experts.
11. Use only nitrogen as protective gas. In no case use flammable or toxic gases. Follow
the general safety and accident prevention instructions for the use with gas.
12. Only use permitted gas pressure tanks.
13. When connecting the gas pressure tank check the tightness of the supply pipe. Make
sure that the gas pressure tank will not tip over.
14. Never connect the gas tank without using the pressure reducer, the unit has to be
operated with maximum pressure of 5 bar (70PSI).
15. If the unit is not used, block the gas supply, do not operate the unit unattended.
16. Provide sufficient ventilation in the working area.

Description of unit
CD-2 is a light polymerization unit for curing the light polymerization materials under
protective gas. The protective gas atmosphere prevents from the development of an
inhibition layer on the surfaces of the parts. CD-2 is very easy to use. Includes an electronic
timer which can be programmed individually for all production procedures down to the
exact one second.
Putting into service
Before putting into service make sure that no transport damages occurred. Check for
external damages to the housing and IPAN. Further ensure that the indicated voltage on the
type plate meets the voltage of the power source. Put the cable into the socket of the unit
and create a connection with the enclosed connector cable. Safely fix the protective gas
supply pipe at the hose nozzle of the pressure reducer of the gas pressure tank with the help
of the hose clamp. Create a connection to the unit with a quick coupler. The pressure must
not exceed 3 bar (42 PSI).
Information on using protective gas
 By using protective gas, it is possible to do the polymerization in an oxygen-free
atmosphere. The protective gas replaces the air in the polymerization chamber and
thus reduces the oxygen content in the polymerization chamber of the CD-2 leading
to a curing of the parts without inhibition layers. For checking the gas consumption,
a flowmeter has to be used.
 The operator is responsible for the warranty of the operating safety of the CD-2.
Review the national safety instructions when using gases for technical purposes.
 Operators using the CD-2 have to be instructed about the dangers of protective
gases. The use of protective gas reduces the oxygen content in the working areas.
 If the CD-2 is adjusted correctly there is no risk of danger for operators.
Setting protective gas
 The pressure reducer at the pressure tank should be set to approx. 2.5 - 4.5 bar
 For the connection to the CD-2 a 6mm tube is required.
 Please take care to use a proper connector to the pressure reducer

Controls
Operation of CD-2
Before using the CD-2 check the power supply and connect the gas. Then turn on the main
switch at the right back of the unit. To turn on the curing unit, press the power button at the
right side of the unit. The software will be starting and the display shows the pro3dure Logo
during the initialization. When the software has started check on the start screen if every
status lamp is green. The CD-2 is ready to use. To control the curing device, the display must
be used. The menu items are further described below.
Info: Before the initialization of the CD-2 is ready, the pro3dure logo disappears for some
seconds and the screen will be black. This is normal during the initialization and no defect of
the curing device.

Start irradiation
To start the irradiation push open program. The current program will open and the
display shows the parameters of this program. Push the start button to irradiate.
Info: The lid must be closed and the gas must be turned on.
Saving a program
Press the Save manual program button to save the current setting. It is possible to store
different programs and name them manually. To access saved programs, press the programs

Editing a program
For generating a program or editing a program push the program button. A new screen
opens and program 1 to 24 can be chosen. Click on the program which should be programed
or edited. Then click on edit program.
At first the pregas time can be set. This is necessary to replace oxygen with nitrogen gas. A
pregas time from 00:00 minutes to 59:59 minutes can be set. Use plus and minus to extend
or reduce the time. The CD-2 will not exposure during this timer. To proceed push forward.
Recommendation: 00:20 minutes

ENGLISH
The next step is to set the irradiation time. An irradiation time from 00:00 minutes to 59:59
minutes can be set. Use plus and minus to extend or reduce the time and move then
forward.
In the next step a ramp can be configured. Set a start time when the CD-2 should increase
the LED power. By power the LED power can be configured. Up to the start time the CD-2
will exposure with the set power. Then it starts to increase the LED power step by step to the
end LED power and end time. Off the end time the CD-2 exposures with the set end LED
power for the rest of the irradiation time. When the program is configured completely the
overview of the program shows an activated ramp. The register shows position 1. When no
ramp is configured the register is on position 0 and the LED power is set for the hole
exposure time on 100%.

ENGLISH
At last the gas during the irradiation time can be configured. Push forward to rename the
program.
Recommendation: 00:20 minutes
If it is desired a name for this generated program can be set. Push on the program name and
a virtual keyboard will open. An individual name can be set now. When this is finished push
forward to finish the generation of this program. An overview of the settings will be shown
and the irradiation can be started.
