Progress display:
During an active process, the progress of the program is also shown by the OSD. This is done by stage-to-stage lighting up of the lateral OSD (12b).
5.1.8 User code
For safety reasons, a user code is required for certain settings. The user code ex factory is as follows:
1234
The user code can be individually changed. See Chapter Settings 5.4 for details.
5.2 Firing programs and programming options
5.2.1 Program structure
The furnace offers several types of programs:
a.Programs for Ivoclar Vivadent materials
b.700 free, individually adjustable programs
b. 700 free, individually adjustable programs on a USB stick
The program types are subdivided into program groups. Each program group consists of 20 programs.
All programs are equivalent and therefore full-fledged programs. For each program, all the parameters can be adjusted.
a) Programs for Ivoclar Vivadent materials (See enclosed Program Table)
When the furnace is delivered ex works, the Ivoclar Vivadent programs already contain the recommended material parameter settings and are write-protected. Consequently, it is not possible to accidentally overwrite the programs.
However, the parameters can be changed and overwritten at any time, if required, if the programs are to be used for other purposes. Therefore, these programs are also available as individual programs.
In case of software updates, individually changed parameters in Ivoclar Vivadent programs might be reset to the factory settings or changed!
b) Free, individually adjustable programs
The programs are designed in such a way that they can be either used as conventional one-stage programs, as two-stage programs or, if required, as three-stage programs. The programs and program groups can be individually named.
In case of software updates, individually changed parameters in individual programs are NOT reset to the factory settings or changed!

5. Operation and Configuration
c) Free, individually adjustable programs on a USB stick
In a first step, a USB stick must be prepared as program memory (see Chapter 5.4). The programs are designed in such a way that the can be either used as conventional one-stage programs, as two-stage programs or, if required, as three-stage programs. The programs and program groups can be individually named.
In case of software updates, individually changed parameters in individual programs are NOT reset to the factory settings or changed!
5.2.2 Program selection
The program selection requires only few steps:
1. Select program type
2. Select program group
3. Select the program
4. Start program or edit program parameters
The firing program can now be started or, as an alternative, the program parameters can be changed.
