a) Ivoclar Vivadent firing programs for Ivoclar

Vivadent materials

When the furnace is delivered ex works, the

Ivoclar Vivadent firing programs already contain the recommended material parameter settings. Moreover, the programs are write-protected. Consequently, it is not possible to accidentally overwrite the parameters.

Please refer to the respective program table (list

of parameters) in Chapter 10.

However, the parameters are designed in such

a way that they can be changed or overwritten at any time, if the programs are to be used for other purposes. Therefore, these programs are also available as free, individual programs.

b) Individual firing programs

The individual firing programs (at least 500) can

be programmed freely.

5.3.2 Press programs

a) Ivoclar Vivadent press programs for Ivoclar

Vivadent materials

When the furnace is delivered ex works, the

standard press programs already contain the recommended material parameter settings. They cannot be adjusted.

TSP – Thermo Shock Protection

Dynamic closing of the furnace head

The TSP function prevents the object from too high of temperatures during the closing process. For this purpose, the TSP function gauges the temperature of the firing chamber in the furnace head upon start of the firing program. If required, the closing path within the set closing time S is adjusted. TSP is only active if no active predrying has been selected or if the temperature in the firing chamber is too high when the program is started. In addition, TSP works only if the stand-by temperature of B = 403 °C / 757 °F required for Ivoclar Vivadent materials is used. The active TSP function is shown on the display by means of the symbol „TSP“. If programs are started with a temperature of more than 680 °C / 1256 °F, an error message is produced.

CSP – Cooling Shock Protection

Careful opening of the furnace head

The CPS function protects the dental lab work during the opening process from cooling too quickly.This is achieved by opening the furnace head in a special procedure. In this way, tensions within the object can be largely prevented. The selection of the CSP function is indicated by the symbol „CSP“ in the firing curve screen. During the opening process with the CPS active, the symbol is blue and flashing.

The operating procedure for the Programat EP 5000/G2 will be explained with the help of two examples: one Ivoclar Vivadent and one individual program.

6.1 Switching on/off

Put ON/OFF switch (11) on position “I”. The furnace conducts an automatic self-test, which will be indicated in the beginning. Subsequently, a status bar shows how many % of the self-test have been completed. Make sure that the furnace is not manipulated during this time.

6.1.1 Main menu

After successful completion of the self-test, the main menu is shown in the display.

6.2 Firing programs

The Firing mode can be selected by means of the touch screen function. In the Firing mode, you may select between Ivoclar Vivadent firing programs and individual firing programs by means of the touch screen.

6.2.1 List of parameters

The cursor (black frame) shows the button which is currently active. It can be moved by means of the arrow keys. If the cursor is positioned on the program button, the desired program can be selected using the + or - keys. As an alternative, the program number can also be entered by means of the numeric keypad.

One-stage program

The list of parameters is accessed by pressing the Program key (70). The list shows all the parameters.

If the cursor is set on the “two-stage symbol” and the symbol is switched to the “one-stage symbol” by pressing the + or – key, the program has been set to “one-stage”.

6.2.2 Operating indicator: Firing curve

If the program is started with the START key, the firing curve display with the vacuum status is shown.

The following information is always displayed: a) Program number b) Time touch boutton c) Current temperature d) Status of vacuum e) Status bar

If a two-stage program is selected, two stages are shown.

During a firing program in progress, the parameter firing curve may be displayed at any time for information purposes by pressing the „P“ key. However, the parameters may only be changed with the program stopped or the furnace in stand-by mode. The vacuum indication and all the corresponding parameters are faded out if no vacuum is needed. Only the necessary values are displayed.

The process status is displayed in colour in the firing curve: – Orange: Program is in its close-head or preheating mode – Red: Program is in its heating mode – Magenta: Program is in its holding time – Blue: Program is in its long-term cooling, CSP, or open-head mode

6.2.3 Operating indicator: Remaining time

Pressing the “Time“ touch button in the firing curve display switches the view to the remaining time indicator.

The remaining time indicator informs the user about the remaining processing time, even from large distances. The time is shown in large numbers in the center of the screen. Furthermore, the status bar changes its colour, depending on the current process status: – Orange: Program is in its close-head or preheating mode – Red: Program is in its heating mode – Magenta: Program is in its holding time – Blue: Program is in its long-term cooling, CSP, or open-head mode

If the cursor is positioned on the “one-stage symbol” and the symbol is switched to the “two-stage symbol” by pressing the + or – key, the program has been set to “two-stage”.

Pressing the touch button „Firing curve“ returns the view to the firing curve operating indicator.

6.2.4 Firing using an Ivoclar Vivadent firing program Step 1:

Step 2:

Now, open the furnace head by pressing the „Open furnace head“ key (90) and place the firing tray with the object to be fired in the furnace.

Step 3:

Activate the program by pressing the „Start“ button (73). The green Start LED starts flashing. The process is indicated in the operating indicator firing curve or remaining time.

6.2.5 Firing using an individual program Step 1:

Select a free program.

Step 2:

– To change a parameter, press the corresponding touch button. In

this way, the cursor (black frame) is positioned there. Now, the value can be edited either with the +/- keys or the numeric keypad.

– Changes made with the +/- keys are accepted immediately and do

not have to be confirmed.

– If the changes are made by means of the numeric keypad, the val-

ue range of the parameter is displayed in the bottom line. An entry made with the numeric keypad is confirmed and completed with the ENTER key (or the P or START keys).

– If the cursor is located on one of the parameters V1, V2, pre-

vacuum, or L and the set value is 0, a note to the deactivated

function is shown in the last line 0 = Off (e.g. L = 0 means that long-term cooling is not activated).

Step 3:

Press the START key (73) to start the program. The process is indicated in the firing curve display.

6.3 Press programs

The Programat EP 5000/G2 has been especially coordinated with the materials systems from Ivoclar Vivadent. Therefore, the respective parameters of the different programs have already been set ex works. You only have to select the desired program for the corresponding material.

Parameters for individual programs, which can be manually adjusted are listed in the table below:

Symbol Parameter Value range Value range

B Stand-by temperature 100–700 °C 212–1292 °F

t Temperature increase rate 10–140 °C/min 18–252 °F/min

T Holding temperature 100–1200 °C 212–2192 °F

H Holding time (min : sec) 00:00 – 60:00

E Abort speed 0-100000 µm/min

The Operation Mode key can be used to show the selection screen.

In the Pressing mode, you may select between Ivoclar Vivadent press programs and individual press programs by means of the touch screen.

6.3.1 Pressing using an Ivoclar Vivadent press programs

If the Ivoclar Vivadent press programs are called up, the first page with the Ivoclar Vivadent press programs is displayed.

In addition to the popular Ivoclar Vivadent press programs, ”Standard Mode” certain materials can also be pressed using the new IPF mode (Intelligent Press Function) (see also Chapter 6.3.3). For materials which offer the IPF mode, the shown selection screen is displayed.

Subsequently, for some materials, the investment ring size (100 g/200 g/ 300 g) can be chosen. This selection applies to both standard and IPF programs (sample: investment ring 300 g for IPS InLine PoM).

6.3.2 Individual press programs

This is the Stand-by screen for a press program in the standard mode.

By pressing the “P” key, you can toggle between the Stand-by and Parameters screen. The shown parameters are displayed for information purposes and cannot be edited.

Operation screen during a press program in the Standard mode. Once the press procedure starts, an additional arrow indicates that the press plunger moves downwards. The entire time of the press cycle is displayed once and the path which the press plunger has already covered since the start of the press procedure in the selected measuring unit.

Select in the Pressing mode the individual press programs by means of the touch screen.

Important information

For the abort speed, we recommend using a value of

300 µm/min in the layering technique and 150 µm/min in the staining technique.

– A higher value (abort speed e.g. 300 µm/min) aborts the press

procedure earlier.

– A lower value (abort speed e.g. 100 µm/min) aborts the press

procedure later and prolongs the press procedure.

For the all-ceramic systems from Ivoclar Vivadent (IPS e.max, IPS Empress Esthetic), only the original Ivoclar Vivadent press programs which are especially coordinated with the materials must be used.

6.3.3 IPF Modus – Intelligent Press Function

In this operation mode, the investment ring is ideally brought to the required press temperature by means of an intelligent temperature control. At the same time, the time until the start of the press procedure is reduced by up to 25% and the temperature in the investment ring is homogenized. The press furnace automatically considers the power supply and possible ageing of the heating element and adjusts the temperature control, if required. In the IPF mode, only a status bar is shown.

If an IPF program is available for a certain material, it is shown after the material selection. You can then select the Standard mode or the new IPF mode.

The IPF mode cannot be selected for individual programs.

By pressing the “P” key, you can toggle between the Stand-by and Parameters screen. The shown parameters are displayed for information purposes and cannot be edited.

Select a free indiviudual program.

6.3.4 CDS – Crack Detection System

Different failures may occur during the press procedure. The Crack Detection System tries to identify these failures during the press procedure in order to save the dental object or ingot. The Crack Detection System produces the information messages No. 520, 521 on the screen and aborts the press procedure. If such a message appears, check the following points:

– Check the ingot or program selection – Observe the “sprueing and investment guidelines” according to

the instructions for use of the material

– Check whether the investment ring was placed in the center or

whether the firing plate is clean or the size of the Alox plunger is correct and the plunger clean

– Check the press plunger for cracks or correct fixation and whether

the firing plate is contaminated or fractured

– Otherwise, possible defect of the press drive – please contact your

local Ivoclar Vivadent Service Center.

6.4 Further possibilities and special features of the

If the cursor is on the „two-stage program“ symbol, pressing the – / + key results in the symbol to change to the „one-stage program“ symbol. At the same time, the program was also changed to become a „one-stage program“.

6.4.10 Program status indication

The current program status is indicated in the operating indicator “firing curve”:

pre-drying, closing, pre-vacuum, firing, long-term cooling, opening

Furthermore, the operating status is displayed in the coloured firing curve (see 6.1.3). If the program is stopped, this is indicated by the display flashing “Pause”. If a program is prematurely aborted, “Vacuum discharge” is flashing while the firing chamber is flooded. The program status is shown by means of the coloured status bar in the remaining time operating display (see 6.1.4).

6.4.11 Pre-drying (one-stage or two-stage program)

For a program with individually activated pre-drying, the desired “pre-drying temperature“ is set after the program start with the furnace head open (heating or cooling). Once this temperature is reached, pre-drying is carried out during the „pre-drying holding time“ Once the holding time has elapsed, the furnace head is closed within the desired closing time.

(the furnace head opens within 60 seconds at the end of the program).

(furnace head opens within 18 seconds at the end of the program).

If the „CSP“ symbol is visible, the Cooling Shock

Protection function (CSP) has been activated (see Chapter 5.4.)

Help text for the current screen

The error group symbol should supply a first indication of the type of error (entry error = exclamation mark; technical error = fork wrench; Note = „i“ symbol) without the user having to consult the Operating Instructions.

6.4.12 Pre-vacuum

If a firing program with prevacuum is conducted, the vacuum pump is switched on at the end of the closing time (as soon as the furnace head is closed). Once the pre-vacuum time has elapsed, the heating phase begins. Upon the start of a program with an individually activated pre-vacuum

(value between 1:00 and 5:00), the V1 value is ignored. The vacuum is maintained until V2 is reached. V2 must be higher than the stand-by temperature B.

6.4.13 Overnight program

The overnight program function can be activated for the next program sequence in the parameter list (touch button with the „crescent moon“ symbol). If the overnight program function has been activated, the furnace head remains open after the firing process, the heater is switched off, and the green START LED flashes. No melody is played if the temperature drops below a certain level. Once the temperature has dropped below 100 °C / 212 °F, the furnace head closes, the heater remains switched off, and the furnace cools to room temperature. Advantages of the overnight program function: In case of a power failure, the overnight program is always continued. The program resumes at the point at which the power failure has occurred.

6.4.14 ”Quick cooling“

If the „Open furnace head“ key is pressed again with the furnace head already completely open, the „Quick cooling“ function is started. This means that the vacuum pump is switched on for 5 minutes. This function can be stopped early by pressing STOP,

„Close furnace head“, or START.

6.4.15 Software Update

The user will be able to conduct a software update by CD, PC, and download cable. For that purpose, the software download mode of the furnace is activated by pressing two special keys simultaneously while the power supply is switched on. For further details, please refer to the download center (www.ivoclarvivadent.com/ downloadcenter).

A further method for updating the software is to use the USB memory stick. This item is available in the Settings menu on page 2. To update the software, a USB memory stick is required with a current software image in the form of a *.gz file. The software version on the USB memory stick must be newer than the one on the furnace (see Selection – Information). Step 1: Connect the USB memory stick with the current software version to the furnace Step 2: Select the menu item “Software Update” Step 3: Select the software image file (the file name has to start with EP 5000/G2_) Step 4: Start the software update with the “Open” key Step 5: Wait until the furnace indicates a successful update process Step 6: Re-start the furnace

Important

Please note that the individual programs will be over-

written in the software update process. Therefore, we recommend a data back-up (e.g. on a USB stick or with software PrograBase 2).

6.4.16 USB printer

Each USB-PCL printer can be used to printout the protocol. If a USBPCL printer is connected to the furnace, the necessary software driver is loaded. After that, the USB printer is immediately ready for use. – The status of the USB-PCL printer is shown in the „Information“

menu item

– The desired protocol to be printed can be selected in the

protocol table.

6.4.17 USB memory stick

Most USB memory sticks may be used to store programs. For that purpose, the USB memory stick must be prepared as an external program memory. Once a prepared USB memory stick is ready for use, the program selection screen will show another touch button for the selection of the UBS memory stick. – The active status of the USB memory stick is shown in the

“Information“ menu item (page 3/3).

– In the Program Manager, the USB memory stick may now be

selected as either the source and/or the target. In this way, a backup copy of all the programs can now be made at any time.

6.4.18 Timer

The timer can be used to put the furnace in an energy saving mode for a defined period of time. During this time, the heating of the furnace is deactivated, so that the power consumption is only minimal. The furnace itself, however, remains switched on. Avoid activating the timer when the furnace head is open.

7. Maintenance, Cleaning, and Diagnosis

This chapter describes the user maintenance and cleaning procedures for the Programat EP 5000/G2. All the other tasks must be performed by qualified service personnel at a certified Ivoclar Vivadent Service Center.

7.1 Monitoring and maintenance

The time for these maintenance procedures depends on the frequency of use and the working habits of the users. For that reason, the recommended times are only approximations.

What Part When

Check all plug-in connections for correct fit Var. external connections weekly

Check if the furnace head opens smoothly and without excessive noise. Opening mechanism monthly

Check if the thermocouple is straight and in the right place. Thermocouple (4) weekly

Check the insulation for cracks and damages. If the insulation is worn down it has to be replaced by a certified Ivoclar Vivadent Service Center. Fine hairline cracks on the surface of the insulation are harmless and do not influence the function of the furnace in a negative fashion.

Check if the sealing rims of the furnace head and the furnace base are clean and undamaged.

Check the keypad for visible damage. If the keypad is damaged, it has to be replaced by a certified Ivoclar Vivadent Service Center.

Check temperature. Use the temperature checking set to check and adjust the temperature in the furnace.

Check the quartz glass cylinder to make sure the quartz glass is not defective.

Check if there is condensate in the vacuum hose or firing chamber. Vacuum hose

This furnace has been developed for typical use in dental

laboratories. If the product is used in a production enterprise, for industrial applications, and for continuous use, premature ageing of the expendable parts has to be expected.

The expendable parts are as follows: – Heating muffle – Insulation material

Expendable parts are not covered by the warranty. Please also observe the shorter service and maintenance intervals.

Insulation (3) monthly

Sealing rims of the furnace head (2) and the furnace base (1)

Keypad (10) weekly

Firing chamber twice a year

Firing chamber daily

Firing chamber

weekly

monthly

In general, the furnace head should not be replaced since

the components (furnace head and furnace base) have been coordinated with each other. However, if the furnace head must be replaced for maintenance reasons, subsequent temperature calibration is required.

7.2 Cleaning

The furnace may only be cleaned when it is cool, since

there is a burn hazard. Do not use any cleaning solutions.

The following parts have to be cleaned from time to time:

Item Frequency Cleaning material

Housing (9) and furnace) head (25)

Keypad (10) weekly soft, dry cloth

Cooling tray L (34) daily cleaning brush *

Insulation (3) daily cleaning brush *

Sealing rim of the furnace head (2) and sealing surface (1)

Firing plate if required Cleaning brush or

if required soft, dry cloth

daily cleaning brush and a

soft cloth

vacuum cleander

*Never clean with compressed air!

7.3 Special programs

Press the „cogwheel“ key, followed by the touch button „Special Programs“.

Vacuum pump test program

With the program, the vacuum performance of the furnace vacuum system can be automatically tested. For that purpose, the achieved (minimum) pressure in mbar is measured and indicated. If the pressure value is below 80 mbar (hPa), the vacuum performance of the system is adequate.

Heater test

may influence the test result. Conduct the heater test immediately after switching on the furnace and before any actual firing procedures are conducted. If the furnace is too hot, an incorrect heating muffle quality will be indicated. If the heating element quality falls below 50 %, replacing the heating element is recommended.

Cleaning program

The cleaning program is used to „clean“ the firing chamber (duration: approximately 17 minutes). After a cleaning program, it is recommended to calibrate the furnace. In case of problems with discolouration of the ceramic, we recommend replacing the firing table or the firing tray material.

Dehumidification program

The condensation of water in the insulation of the firing chamber and the vacuum pump will result in a lower vacuum and thus to impaired firing results. For that reason, the furnace head should be kept closed when the furnace is switched off, in order to prevent the absorption of humidity (condensate in the vacuum hose). Start the dehumidification program if required (humidity in the insulation).

Keypad test

Each time the keypad is pressed, a short beep sounds. The keypad test can be ended by pressing ESC.

The quality of the heating muffle may be automatically checked by means of the heater test (duration: approximately 7 minutes).

The heater test should

only be conducted with the empty firing chamber, since an object

in the chamber (e.g. firing tray)

Display test (page 2 / 2) Two different „chequer-board patterns“ are alternately shown on the entire display. This allows the visual check of each individual pixel. The display test can be ended by pressing ESC.

7.4 Temperature calibration

1. Select the calibration program.

2. Remove the firing plate from

the furnace using the furnace

tongs and place it on the

cooling tray.

3. Carefully grip the upper part

the furnace tongs.

8. Close the furnace head and select a firing program.

9. The ATK 2 can only be used once. Use a new calibration set for

the next calibration procedure.

7.5 Service note

When the service note (Hint 1700) appears for the first time, two years have passed or the heating muffle has more than 1200 firing hours. For that reason, Ivoclar Vivadent recommends to have the furnace serviced. Please see your Equipment Service Pass for further information. The interval until the next service note can be selected once in the advanced settings (see Chapter 5.5.1.4).

7.6 Stand-by

We recommend keeping the furnace head closed, particularly if the temperature drops below 100 °C / 212 °F. This will prevent unintentional moisture absorption and formation of condensate in the firing chamber. Consequently, vacuum problems are avoided and the service life of the heating element is prolonged.

7.7 Press power calibration

The interval for press calibration can be set in this menu.

7.8 Replacing the press plunger

In order to facilitate replacing the press plunger, the following procedure is recommended:

1. Remove the screw (20) and press drive cover (56) while the furnace head is closed.

2. Loosen the terminal screw from the press plunger (65) by about half a rotation.

3. Open the furnace head by means of the respective key (90). When the furnace head is wide open, switch off the furnace, disconnect the power plug and let the furnace cool to room temperature.

4. Pull the press plunger (59) with slightly rotating movements from the split taper socket (64) with one hand and pull down the press plunger in the firing chamber with the other hand.

Contraindication:

Do not touch the thermocouple when replacing the press

5. Push the white press plunger
