3.7 Standby temperature

Note:

• What? The firing chamber is closed and the firing room temperature rises to the defined standby temperature (380°C by

default). Once the standby temperature has been reached, it should be held for 20 minutes. The firing unit will then be ready
for firing processes.

• What for? Prevents loss of time by automatically preheating the firing unit so that firing can begin quickly.

VITA AntiCon.

If the firing unit is switched off for an extended period of time, the firing chamber is heated for 5 minutes while slightly open
the next time the firing unit is switched on and the standby temperature is activated. This allows the condensed water on the
insulation to evaporate. After 5 minutes have passed, the device closes and goes into normal standby mode.

Auto standby mode.

If standby mode remains active when the firing unit is switched off, auto standby mode is activated after the burner unit has
been switched on again. The firing unit automatically adopts the most recently set standby temperature. It is deactivated by
pressing the standby temperature again. If standby mode remains active when the firing unit is switched off, auto standby mode
is also deactivated and must be switched on after the unit is turned on again.

6.10 Changes after program start

Note:

• Changes of program values are possible after starting a firing program. To avoid misfires, changes which automatically

impact other program areas are not allowed, such as changes in the rise time, which causes an automatic adjustment of
the vacuum time.

Please note:

You can only change non-active program areas. The program areas that can still be changed are identified by the button
display (dark button).
If a program area that is still available is selected for changing and it becomes active in the meantime, the display switches
to the image of the firing curve and the program continues to run with the previously contained value.

If the final temperature is changed, the °C/min gradient is always retained, and the rise time and vacuum time are
correspondingly adjusted.

8.4 Information

Basic information on the instrument design

• The instrument is designed according to state-of-the-art technology and recognized safety standards.

• However, if it is used inappropriately, hazards for the health and safety of the operating personnel or third parties,

as well as the risk of damaging the instrument and other material property, may arise.

Unauthorized modes of operation

• Do not operate the control unit with sharp-edged or hot objects. This causes damage to the display.

• The operation of the instrument with power sources, products, etc., which are subject to hazardous materials regulations

or could have any negative impact on the health of the operating personnel when using equipment modified by the user,
are not permitted.

• The unit may not be used without the firing platform. The firing platform must always be inserted in its designated recess on
the bottom of the firing unit. The unit may not be used with a flammable narcotic agent with air or nitrous oxide.

• The device is equipped with a fan. The fan is temperature-controlled. Activation, deactivation and speed of the fan are
controlled automatically. The fan prevents excessive heating of the unit and contributes to the overall operating safety.
The openings in the top cover of the firing chamber must not be covered or closed.

Authorized modes of operation

• The insulation of the firing chamber contains ceramic mineral fibers (Index No. 650-017-00-08), which is classified

as a CAT 2 carcinogen (Annex VI, EC 1272/2008). When working with the firing chamber or exchanging the firing muffle,
fiber dust may be discharged.

• Exposure to this dust can be potentially hazardous to health if inhaled and result in irritation of the skin, eyes and respiratory
organs. Therefore, always follow these instructions when replacing parts of the firing chamber:

• Wear long-sleeved protective clothing.

• Wear safety goggles as well as protective gloves.

• Use a dust vacuum system or wear a FFP 2 respirator.

• Once work has been completed, rinse the dust from unprotected skin using cold water.

• Wash workwear separately from everyday clothing.

• The operation of the device is only permitted if this operating manual has been completely read and understood and the

procedures described in it have been observed. Any other or additional use, e.g., processing of products other than those
intended, as well as handling of hazardous materials or substances injurious to health, is considered to be contrary to the
recommended use.

• Repairs and servicing of any kind may only be carried out by specially trained personnel.

Please note:

• The manufacturer/supplier will not be liable for any damage resulting from such unauthorized use. The risk is borne solely by

the user.

8.5 Safety functions

The firing unit has the following safety and monitoring features:

1. Temperature sensor monitoring

2. Power supply failure protection

3. Obstruction sensor

4. Temperature protection switch

5. Automatic temperature calibration

Temperature sensor monitoring

The temperature sensor monitoring feature detects a failure of the temperature sensor in the firing chamber. If a failure of the
temperature sensor has been detected, the firing chamber is prevented from heating up and an error message is displayed.

Power supply failure protection

The instrument is equipped with power supply failure protection. This element prevents firing programs from aborting in the
event of a short-term power failure. If the power failure time lasts less than 15 seconds, the current program will continue to
run even though the display will remain out of service for the duration of the power failure. The current program is aborted if
power is interrupted for more than 15 seconds. An error message is displayed once power is restored.

Obstruction sensor

The vertical movement of the firing head is controlled by computer. Any objects that are caught, are detected and the drive is
switched off, if necessary. This prevents injuries caused by pinching. The system may still be operated without any restrictions
after the drive is switched off.

Temperature protection switch

Temperature protection switches are installed in the housing of the firing unit and prevent the firing unit from overheating by
switching off the heater if the heating control system malfunctions. An error message is displayed if this type of malfunction
occurs. The firing system may not be used again until the system cools down. This can take some time.

Automatic temperature calibration

The temperature is automatically calibrated each time the furnace is switched on.
This temperature calibration takes into consideration and corrects all deviations occurring in the electronic components for
temperature measurement and temperature regulation. In this way, a constant temperature of ± 1°C is achieved, even if the unit
is operated for a long period.
