3 Safety Guidelines
Confi urin and operatin this equipment requires precise knowledge and observance
of the instructions in this user manual. The equipment is desi ned only for its intended
application.
WARNING:
Servicin and repairs should be carried out only by authorised specialists.
Disconnect the power plu before startin any maintenance work.
Make sure that the equipment is connected to the correct power source.
The safety valve on the pressure tank opens automatically if the operatin
pressure is more than 7 bar.
The pressure can be activated only if the door is closed completely, since a
safety door contact is installed.
Dry-run protection, which switches off at 112°C (brown button on the left side of
the device).
WARNING: Risk of scalding during t e Hot Polymerisation.
Never open t e lid w ile t e unit is under pressure !
Never open t e lid w ile t e temperature is ig er t an 97 °C !
Open t e lid slowly!
Display information ave to be followed !
For safety-related reasons ( ot water, pressure), only t e valves and oses
meant for t is purpose must be used for draining. If parts of different
design are used / installed (self-made), t ere is a risk of scalding!

4 Responsibility for Operation or Damage
The responsibility for operatin the device lies exclusively with the owner or user if said
device is incorrectly serviced, maintained or altered by persons not employed by an
authorised dealer or if the device is used in a manner contrary to its specified purpose.
The unit has to be maintained and operated in accordance with this user manual.

nonobservance of these instructions.
Warranty and responsibility provisions contained in the sales and supply conditions of
Wassermann Dental-Maschinen GmbH are not extended by these instructions.
5 Application
The Polyquick 260 is a pressure polymerisation unit for hot and cold polymerisation of
plastics. It can be set to a maximum temperature of 105°C and the polymerisation
pressure can be adjusted to a maximum of 5 bar. In automatic mode, the polymerisation
time can be preselected up to 99 hours. It has a particularly lar e pressure pot volume and
can hence also accommodate extra lar e articulators or up to 6 brass flasks includin
clamp. A touch screen and the newly developed control panel allow the user to set the
relevant parameters quickly and easily usin self-explanatory symbols. The Polyquick 260
can also be used as a pressure compactor without heatin .
Only use the device for this type of application.

6 Before Starting
6.1 Transport
Before transportin the unit, ensure that it has been unplu ed from the power socket.
Make sure that it is packed correctly in order to avoid accidental dama e.
Be sure to check for any transport dama e when unpackin the oods. Note
down any dama e if found.
6.2 Installation
Open the box, remove the packin materials, and carefully lift out the device and
accessories. Check the included accessories.
The device has to stand horizontally on a steady and even surface.
Install the device in a place where it will not block the workin area and the
functionality (take the dimensions into account).
Do not install the unit outdoors or in places without proper ventilation.
Before start-up, be sure the device reaches room temperature.
It is advisable to install the device firmly on the draina e system, since very hot
water can drain off from it. This also simplifies the process of complete
emptyin , e. . for cleanin .
6.3 Storage
If the unit is to be stored for an extended period, protect it from moisture and dust.
7

7 Installation/ Start-up
Before commissionin , please install the followin connections:
Install the pressure hose included in the scope of supply and provide for an
appropriate outlet.
After settin the workpiece, fill the device with tap water, at most up to the en ravin in the
tank. Establish a pneumatic connection of minimum 2 bar. If the pneumatic pipe is lon ,
pay attention to the hose cross-section (internal diameter min. 6 mm). Every pneumatic
pipe must always have a maintenance unit. Ensure a constant pressure by usin the
pressure reducer.
Finally, insert the plu into the socket – make sure that the volta e specification of the
device and the mains network is identical.
Never operate the device wit out water, since the heatin unit immediately
heats up to 60°C or to the preheatin temperature when the power switch is
activated. If required, the heatin unit can be switched off via the display.
7.1 Setting t e Correct Pressure
Before fillin the tank, remove the accessories and set the correct polymerisation
pressure. Proceed as follows (ima e, see 5.2):
1. Activate main switch ( reen rocker switch).
2. Close lid.
3. Touch the Pressure key (ima e, see 5.2). (4.0 bar default).
4. If the pressure is very less (min. 2 bar), increase the pressure (max.5 bar) usin the
black re ulator on the back side. Release the re ulator by pullin to do the settin
and press it in once a ain.
5. If the pressure is too hi h, switch off the pressure (ima e, see 5.2) and release
the pressure. Turn the pressure re ulator on the back side in the "minus" direction
several times; then, apply pressure to the tank. You can set the desired pressure by
turnin the re ulator in the "plus" direction (max. 5 bar)

7.2 Start-up
Define the unit's main parameters before switchin it on. These settin s are performed in
the Set-Up Menu . Familiarise yourself with the system's various options before
startin the polymerisation process. This particularly applies to functions and .

Pressure ON/OFF
Bevore startin the pro ramme you have to choose the pressure.
Programme parameter und Polymerisation
Defines the parameters for the pro ramme temperature.
You can store 3 pro ramme counter (P1, P2 und P3). In every counter up to three
polymerisation sta es #1-3 can be mapped.
Touch the numbers to chan e the values.
Polymerisation level 1 (P1):
Delete Next step Save
Examples of level 2 and level 3 : Start
Touch the arrow (Start) to start the process of polymerisation. Pause or cancel the
pro ramme by pressin the "Stop/Pause"symbol. In P2 and P3 the practice is the same.

Pre eating temperature
Defines the tar et temperature once the main switch has been activated. The pre-heat
temperature also applies to waitin times and rest periods. Default: 60°C
If the pro ramme temperature selected is hi her, the temperature reverts back
to this value when the pro ramme ends.
After definin the desired workin mode , it may make sense to adjust the pre-heat
temperature of the pro ramme temperature. This avoids lon heat-up or cool-down
phases.
Clock timer
This defines the weekday activation and deactivation times.

Sleep button display
When you press the Sleep button, the device oes into the Sleep mode (all functions
except the Timer function are switched off). The device ets actuated when you press the
touch display or with the timer and heats up or cools down to the preset pre-heatin
temperature.
Heater ON/OFF

Selection of t e working mode
Defines whether the polymerisation process should start immediately or only after the
heatin value has been reached.
(a) (Default) The device heats to the temperature pro rammed under . After reachin
this value, the result measured is validated by a control cycle. If the value is confirmed, the
wax polymerisation process will start.
(b) The pro rammed polymerization be ins immediately.

8.2 Operation
•Open the lid.
•First set the workpieces, then fill the water till all the polymerisation parts are
covered (max. up to the en ravin = Markin in the tank) and close the lid up to the
stop.
•Switch on the main switch, the device will automatically heat up to 60°C or up to the
value selected as the pre-heatin temperature. If warnin appears, close the
lid.
•Activate the pressure.
•The process of polymerisation starts when you touch the symbol . After the
process of polymerisation has ended, the temperature falls/rises to the preset
