Basic quattro
No. 2954-0005 / 2954-1005
1. Introduction
We are pleased with your decision to
purchase the Basic quattro.
Please read the following operating instructions carefully and
observe all the information they
contain in order to ensure long
and trouble-free service.
2. Application Area
The Basic line of sandblasting units are
designed for use in dental laboratories to
remove investment residues, oxides on
cast objects, and for surface treatment.
2.1 Ambient Conditions
(in accordance with DIN EN 61010-1)
The Basic quattro may only be operated:
• Indoors;
• Up to an altitude of 2,000 m [6,500 ft]
above sea level;
• At an ambient temperature of 5 - 40°C
[41 - 104°F]
• At a maximum relative humidity of 80%
at 31°C [87.8°F], decreasing linearly to
50% relative
humidity at 40°C [104°F]
• With a mains power supply where current fluctua-tions do not exceed 10% of
the nominal value;
• Under level 2 contamination conditions;
•
Under overvoltage category II conditions.
*) Between 5 – 30°C [41 - 86°F], the unit can be operated at a
relative humidity of up to 80%. At temperatures between
31 - 40°C [87.8 - 104°F], the humidity must decrease
proportionally in order to ensure operational readiness (e.g.,
at 35°C [95°F] = 65% humidity; at 40°C [104°F] = 50%
humidity). The unit may not be operated at temperatures
above 40°C [104°F].

3. Safety Information
3.1 Employed Symbols
The following symbols are used in these
instructions and on the unit:
Danger
This indicates an imminent risk
of injury.
Electrical hazard
There is a risk of electrical
shock.
Attention
Failure to observe the associated information can result in
damage to the unit.
Note
The operating instructions contain useful information to make
handling easier.
Wear eye protection.
Only for indoor use.
Before opening the unit, always
disconnect it from the power
supply.
Note the operating instructions.
3.2 Safety Information
• Always disconnect the unit from the
compressed air and power sources
prior to beginning any maintenance
work.
• When working on the tank (filling up,
cleaning, maintenance) wear protective glasses for protecting your eyes.
- 15 - EN
• Any residue of abrasive material on
the gasket may lead to leakage and
early wear of the gasket. After filling
up clean the thread and the gasket
and close the lid properly.
• Solvents and tensides can create
micro-cracking in the plastic (danger of explosion!). Clean the tank
and the lid only with a dry cloth. Do
not write or stick something on the
tanks.
• Check the tanks and the lids regularly on damages and replace them
in case of doubt.
• Check the tank cover for correct
seating prior to beginning operation.
Covers that are not securely closed
can suddenly be blown off as the
tank pressure increases. The resulting flying parts and abrasive repre-
sent a serious hazard.
• Never operate the blasting units
without suitable dust extraction and
appropriate protective gear, as this
could result in health hazards. The
type of dust extraction should be selected on the basis of the dust being
generated. Follow here absolutely
EN 60335-2-69 appendix AA or ask
the appropriate authorities.
• Improper use can result in the risk of
eye or skin injuries.
• Never direct the blasting material
towards eyes or unprotected areas
of skin!
• Never work with the view screen
open!
Caution: Failure to wear proper
eye protection can result in eye
injury due to particles suspended in the air. Always wear
proper eye protection to protect
your vision!
• Do not employ the foot switch when
only the compressed air supply hose
is connected. The loose hose could
wrap around itself and cause serious
injury.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet
before changing the fluorescent tube.
• Do not squeeze or bend the fluorescent tube body when replacing the
tube (breakage hazard). Always wear
gloves or use a towel to protect your
hands against possible glass
splinters.
• Inspect power cords before beginning operation. The unit may not be
operated if the power cord is
damaged.
3.3 Liability Exclusion
Renfert GmbH shall be absolved from
all claims for damages or warranty if:
• The product is employed for any purposes other than those cited in the
operating instructions;
• The product is altered in any way other than those alterations described in
the operating instructions;
• The product is repaired by other than
an authorized facility or if any but
Renfert OEM parts are employed;
• The product continues to be employed, despite obvious safety faults.
4. Installation /
Commissioning
4.1 Setting up and Connecting
the Unit
1. Inspect the tank for proper installation
(Fig. 1).
2. Check the voltage information on the
nameplate.
3. The unit is operational with two tanks.
To connect additional tanks, please
refer to Installation
Instructions, No. 21-9498.
4. Remove the foot switch from its ship-
ping location in the blasting chamber.
5. Connect the foot switch to the sand-
blasting unit (red + yellow). Make sure
to both pneumatic hoses are fully
inserted up to their stops (Fig. 2).
- 16 -EN
6. Connect the compressed air supply
to the sandblasting unit. To do this,
loosen the screw-on air coupling on
the unit (Fig. 3).
7. Push the screw-on coupling over the
supplied blue compressed air hose
(Fig. 4).
8. Connect the compressed air hose to
the unit and tighten the coupling sleeve
(Fig. 5a).
9. Connect the compressed air hose to
the compressed air supply (Fig. 5b).
10. Do not bend or kink the hoses (Fig. 6)!
11. Connect the dust extraction hose to
the extraction tube (Fig. 7).
Do not connect the unit to the
mains power supply yet!
4.2 Starting the Unit
1. Connect the mains power cord to the
sandblasting unit (Fig. 11), then plug
the power cord into the wall outlet
(Fig. 12).
2. Switch the unit on (Fig. 13).
4.3 Adjusting the Operating
Pressure
1. Select the sandblasting tank (Fig. 14).
2. Adjust a blasting pressure of 1-6 bar
[14.5–87 psi] (Fig. 15). The pressure is
displayed on the manometer
(Fig. 15a). The pressure adjustment
applies to all sandblasting tanks.
4.4 Filling the Sandblasting
Tanks
Never press the foot switch
during filling. Before closing
the tank, be sure to clean the
threads in the cover and the
tank to remove any abrasive
residue.
Even though the manometer
may indicate pressure, the sandblasting tanks are only under
pressure if the foot switch is
engaged.
1. Unscrew the tank cover (Fig. 16).
2. Add abrasive up to the maximum fill
level (the point where the tank jacket
thickens just below the thread)
(Fig. 17). Make sure the abrasive
being used is compatible with the
sandblasting tank.
3. Reinstall the tank cover (Fig. 18).
Do not cross-thread the cover.
Always use only clean, dry abrasive of the
appropriate grain size (refer to the
accessories).
The sandblasting unit is now
operational.
5. Cold silanization in the
sandblasting unit
The Basic series of Renfert sandblasting units is exclusively recommended by
3M ESPE for use with ROCATEC™. This
bonding system is ideal if an adhesive
bond is required between a composite and
a dental material (metal, acrylic, porcelain,
zirconia porcelain).
Advantage: The surface film is applied
cold, preventing thermal loading of metal
frameworks and consequently the risk
of distortion. All units in the Basic series
can be used for ROCATEC™ due to their
regular, homogeneous jet flow.
6. Cleaning / Maintenance
Switch off machine and pull
plug out before starting cleaning and maintenance work!
6.1 Cleaning the Interior
• Use only solvent-free cleansers (e.g.,
soapy water).
• Remove the grate and vacuum the
blasting chamber (Fig. 19+20).
• Wipe out the tanks and lids only with a
dry cloth!
- 17 - EN
6.2 Condensation
1. Inspect the water separator.
2. Drain any water off through the valve
(Fig. 21).
6.3 Blasting Nozzle
Replacement
1. Refer to insert no. 21-9162 for
installation.
2. Inspect for abrasive residue.
3. Inspect the seal ring position.
6.4 View Port Replacement
Please refer to the installation instructions
provided with the new pane
(insert no. 21-9811).
6.5 Sandblasting Hose
Replacement
1. Disconnect the sandblasting unit from
the compressed air supply (Fig. 5,4,3).
2. Refer to insert no. 21-9162 for the
installation instructions.
