1. Introduction INTRODUCTION<br />

You have purchased the most advanced Composite<br />

Processing System on the market. Years of research<br />

have been used to develop the science that has been<br />

incorporated into this system.<br />

A. System Contents<br />

1.1<br />

The <strong>TESCERA</strong> TM * <strong>ATL</strong> TM * System<br />

consists of:<br />

<strong>TESCERA</strong> <strong>ATL</strong> Processing Base Unit<br />

(Figure 1.1)<br />

B. <strong>TESCERA</strong> Product Description<br />

The <strong>TESCERA</strong> <strong>ATL</strong> System is a composite processing<br />

system designed to work with <strong>Bisco</strong>’s state-of-the-art<br />

<strong>TESCERA</strong> composites for indirect restorations. The<br />

<strong>TESCERA</strong> <strong>ATL</strong> System** uses a unique combination of<br />

pressure, light and heat to cure specially formulated<br />

composite materials. The <strong>TESCERA</strong> <strong>ATL</strong> System consists<br />

of a "smart" base station and two cups. The light cup is used<br />

for pressure and light curing of incremental build-ups of<br />

larger restorations. The heat cup provides pressure, light<br />

and heat, and is used for final curing of incremental<br />

build-ups and for single step mass curing. The "smart" base<br />

station recognizes either cup and performs the appropriate<br />

cycle. It is the responsibility of the user to select the proper cup for<br />

the desired step.<br />

Pressure and light (light cup): The pressure and light cycle<br />

intentionally leaves an oxygen inhibition layer for improved<br />

adhesion between successive layers. The first part of the<br />

pressure and light cycle subjects the restoration to pressure<br />

only, which reduces defects and porosity in the composite<br />

while it is still compliant. The second part of the pressure<br />

and light cycle maintains the pressure and light-cures to<br />

harden the composite.<br />

Pressure, light and heat, under water (heat cup): This cup<br />

adds a heat cycle in addition to the already described pressure<br />

and light sequence. The restoration is immersed in<br />

water (which does not have any adverse effect on the<br />

uncured composite). Heat is transferred quickly to the<br />

composite via water, which, with the help of a special<br />

additive, eliminates the oxygen inhibited layer, allowing a<br />

completely cured, very hard polymerized surface. Heat is<br />

transferred completely through the material providing a<br />

complete depth of cure regardless of the shade, thickness<br />

or shape of the restoration, or how the restoration is<br />

mounted and supported. Because of the heat transfer, this<br />

cup can be used for curing of a single mass of<br />

composite without concern for uncured material that is not<br />

exposed to light.<br />

1.12<br />

1.13<br />

1. Place unit on a level,<br />

sturdy surface, capable of<br />

supporting 50 lbs (23 kgs).<br />

2. Make sure power switch<br />

is in off position (down).<br />

(Figure 1.9)<br />

3. Connect AC power cord<br />

to power entry connector<br />

at base of unit.<br />

(Figure 1.10)<br />

4. Plug unit into dedicated<br />

15-amp circuit (120 V AC)<br />

with proper grounding.<br />

5. A.) Connect air inlet line<br />

to provide air supply with<br />

85-100 psi (5.8-6.8 atm).<br />

B.) Air input connector is<br />

¼" OD rigid plastic hose.<br />

C.) Push hose all the way<br />

into the adapter until the<br />

hose locks into place. The<br />

adapter rotates allowing for<br />

convenient positioning.<br />

(Figure 1.11) D.) Turn on<br />

air supply and check for<br />

leaks.<br />

6. Turn on unit (power<br />

switch up). (Figure 1.12)<br />

7. The display will read 88<br />

while the unit goes<br />

through a 20-second<br />

power-on self test (POST).<br />

(Figure 1.13) The display<br />

will then turn off, followed<br />

by 2 short beeps. The unit<br />

will display an error code if<br />

a fault is detected during<br />

self-test. (see Error Codes<br />

Section)<br />

Read the upper bar<br />

display at the rear of unit.<br />

(Figure 1.15) There are<br />

7 segments: the one at the<br />

top is red, the one at the<br />

bottom is yellow, and the<br />

ones in the middle are<br />

1.15<br />

green. Set the regulator<br />

so the lit bar is in the<br />

middle of the green<br />

segments. This will give the best range for any possible<br />

pressure changes. The regulator adjustment knob has<br />

three tracks. In the farthest down position, it is locked.<br />

In the middle position, it can be adjusted. In the farthest<br />

up position, it will turn, but will not engage the regulator<br />

adjustment control. To set the regulator, find the middle<br />

position and adjust while viewing the bars. Note: The air<br />

and power must be on. Once set, push the knob down to<br />

lock.<br />

WARNING: THE UNIT SHOULD ONLY BE USED<br />

WITH A PROPERLY GROUNDED AC SOURCE.<br />

WARNING: THE UNIT WEIGHS ABOUT 30 LBS<br />

equipment damage.<br />

Warning: The unit should only be used with a properly<br />

grounded AC source.<br />

Warning: The unit weighs about 30 lbs (13kg); be careful<br />

when lifting.<br />

Caution: Only lift processing base by placing hands on handrecess<br />

in the base on both sides. Do not lift the unit using the<br />

regulator or fan.<br />

Warning: Make sure the air supply pressure is turned off<br />

when removing the supply hose.<br />

Warning: Do not insert hands or tools into area where<br />

cups are intended to go. Electric shock could result.<br />

Caution: Do not insert hands or tools into area where cups<br />

are intended to go. Equipment damage could result.<br />

Warning: The unit should not be left unattended with a<br />

heat cup in the base.<br />

Caution: Do not use the stacking cup inserts without the<br />

light beads or the intense light beam may melt the bottom<br />

of the stacking cup.<br />

Warning: After the heat cycle, the cup will be hot, as it contains<br />

water just below boiling.<br />

Warning: Do not try to speed cooling process in any manner.<br />

Let restoration cool at room temperature. Trying to<br />

reduce cooling time (ie. blowing air) may result in fracture<br />

or reduce life span of restoration.<br />

Caution: Do not force the cup out of the base; it will come<br />

out easily once the pressure is relieved.<br />

Warning: Unit must be turned off at the AC power switch<br />

and unplugged before any servicing is performed. Setting<br />

the unit in sleep mode is not sufficient.<br />

Warning: Do not touch the bulb portion of the lamp. Oils<br />

and contamination from your fingers can cause the lamp to<br />

shatter when hot.<br />

Warning: Do not bring the lamp near your eyes. The bulb<br />

envelope of the lamp is under pressure and can<br />

shatter and explode, causing serious eye injury.<br />

Warning: Do not use latex or exam gloves as heat<br />

protection to remove a hot lamp.<br />

Caution: U.S. Federal law restricts this device to sale by or<br />

on the order of a dental professional.<br />

Warning: Do not immerse the light cup in water.<br />

Caution: Do not use water in the light cup.<br />

Warning: Do not attempt to remove the light cup from the<br />

base during a cycle.<br />

Warning: Grip the cups securely before removing<br />

(dropping may result in injury).<br />

Warning: Always use water in the heat cup.<br />

Caution: Do not use the stacking cup inserts in the heat<br />

cup.<br />

Warning: To reduce cycle times, the heat cup does not<br />

cool down to room temperature, but will be slightly below<br />

boiling. Care should be taken when removing the cup and<br />

handling it afterwards. Scalding can result.<br />

Warning: Do not attempt to remove the cup before the<br />

FINISH LED is on steady.<br />

3.4<br />

3.5<br />

1. Place the restoration in<br />

the bed of white reflection<br />

beads in the light cup.<br />

(Figure 3.1) The bed<br />

of beads acts as a<br />

support for the work<br />

by holding the dowel<br />

pin upright as well as<br />

being a reflector and<br />

diffuser of light.<br />

The light cup handle is<br />

gray. (Figure 3.2) Use 1,<br />

2 or 3 stacking cup inserts<br />

to position the restoration<br />

close to the top of the cup,<br />

but below the rim. Transfer<br />

the light beads from insert<br />

to insert, as needed,<br />

depending on size of die,<br />

model and restoration.<br />

Offset each cup so the<br />

solid portion of its bottom<br />

rests on the legs of the one<br />

below it.<br />

2. In STANDBY mode, the<br />

RUN LED will blink slowly<br />

(once every 2-3 seconds).<br />

Insert the light cup in the<br />

base. (Figure 3.3)<br />

The unit will beep when<br />

the cup is properly inserted<br />

in position. (Figure 3.4)<br />

and the RUN LED will<br />

blink fast (once per second).<br />

The base is now in<br />

the READY MODE. The<br />

base will acknowledge the<br />

light cup and display _L.<br />

For additional options, see<br />

Advanced User Section.<br />

3. Press the START button<br />

(Figure 3.5) and the cycle<br />

will begin. The base has<br />

detected that the light cup<br />

is inserted and will<br />

automatically run the cycle<br />

of pressure and light<br />

(approximately 2 minutes).<br />

The RUN LED will be<br />

steadily lit during the rest<br />

of the cycle.<br />

4. When the cycle is complete and all the air pressure has<br />

been released, the FINISH LED will light, the RUN LED<br />

will turn off, and the unit will give a short beep.<br />

(Figure 3.6)<br />

CAUTION: DO NOT USE THE STACKING CUP<br />

INSERTS WITHOUT THE LIGHT BEADS OR<br />

THE INTENSE LIGHT BEAM MAY MELT THE<br />

BOTTOM OF THE STACKING CUP.<br />

WARNING: DO NOT IMMERSE THE LIGHT CUP<br />

IN WATER!<br />

CAUTION: DO NOT USE WATER IN THE<br />

LIGHT CUP!<br />

WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE<br />

LIGHT CUP FROM THE BASE DURING A CYCLE!<br />

The system uses a unique<br />

inflatable seal (Figure 3.7)<br />

between the top surface of<br />

the cup (Figure 3.8) and<br />

the bottom of the upper<br />

pressure chamber.<br />

(Figure 3.7) This allows the<br />

cup to be inserted and<br />

removed with minimal<br />

resistance, yet provides a<br />

sufficient pressure seal.<br />

The cup material is treated<br />

to harden the surface, but<br />

care must be taken to keep<br />

the top surface from<br />

getting nicked, dented,<br />

scratched, etc., or the ability<br />

of the cup to seal against<br />

pressure will be affected.<br />

WARNING: GRIP THE CUPS SECURELY<br />

BEFORE REMOVING (DROPPING MAY RESULT<br />

IN INJURY).<br />

Place the basket into the<br />

black heat cup. (Figure 3.10)<br />

The large hole in the<br />

basket lines up with the<br />

boss in the bottom of the<br />

heat cup, opposite the handle.<br />

2. Place just enough cool<br />

tap or distilled water in the<br />

cup to cover the top of the<br />

restoration by ½", and less<br />

than enough to cover the<br />

sides of the basket.<br />

(Figure 3.10)<br />

Drop an Oxygen Scavenger<br />

Capsule in the water before<br />

inserting the cup in the<br />

base. (Figure 3.11) Use a<br />

new capsule for every cycle.<br />

3. In STANDBY mode, the<br />

RUN LED will blink slowly<br />

(once every 2-3 per<br />

second). Insert the heat cup<br />

in the base.<br />

(Figure 3.12)<br />

base will run at low speed. Once the unit has reached the<br />

appropriate temperature and begins cooling, the fan will<br />

turn back on, indicating the unit is in the cooling stage.<br />

During the last 30 seconds of the cooling cycle the<br />

FINISH LED will blink fast (2 times per second), indicating<br />

the cycle is in the last 30 seconds. The display will count<br />

down from 30 to 0 to indicate the time left in the cooling<br />

cycle.<br />

6. If the cooling cycle is not completed in 7 minutes, there is<br />

a possible fault of the main fan or the cup thermostat is<br />

stuck open. The unit will cool an additional 20 minutes and<br />

ERROR CODE 10 will be displayed (see Troubleshooting<br />

Section). When the finish indicator comes on, along with<br />

the ERROR light, remove the cup. The operator must<br />

determine if the main fan is working. If so, press and hold<br />

START and CANCEL for 5 seconds to reset. When the cup<br />

is put back on the base, it will be tested to determine if the<br />

thermostat has failed.<br />

7. When the cycle is complete and all air pressure has been<br />

released, the FINISH LED will light steady, the RUN LED<br />

will turn off, and the unit will give a short beep.<br />

8. The cup can now be removed.<br />

WARNING: TO REDUCE CYCLE TIMES, THE<br />

HEAT CUP DOES NOT COOL DOWN TO ROOM<br />

TEMPERATURE, BUT WILL BE SLIGHTLY BELOW<br />

BOILING. CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN<br />

REMOVING THE CUP AND HANDLING IT<br />

AFTERWARDS. SCALDING CAN RESULT.<br />

3.12<br />

The unit will beep when<br />

the cup is properly<br />

inserted in position and<br />

H_ will be displayed.<br />

(Figure 3.13) The RUN<br />

LED will blink fast (2 times<br />

per second). The base is<br />

now in the READY MODE.<br />

3.13<br />

4. Press the START button<br />

and the cycle will begin.<br />

(Figure 3.14) The base will<br />

detect that the heat cup is<br />

inserted and will<br />

automatically run the full<br />

cycle of pressure, light and<br />

heat (and cool) for<br />

approximately 10-13<br />

minutes. The RUN LED<br />

3.14<br />

will be steadily lit during the<br />

rest of the cycle. The cycle<br />

time varies depending on the size of the restoration and the<br />

starting temperature of the water.<br />

5. During the heat cycle, the main fan in the bottom of the<br />

WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE<br />

CUP BEFORE THE FINISH LED IS ON STEADY.<br />

9. To quickly cool the cup for the next cycle, rinse twice<br />

with cold water by filling, letting stand 1 minute, then pouring<br />

out and repeating.<br />

WARNING: DO NOT IMMERSE THE HEAT CUP<br />

IN WATER!<br />

The system uses a unique inflatable seal between the top<br />

surface of the cup and the top of the pressure chamber.<br />

This allows the cup to be inserted and removed with<br />

minimal resistance. The cup material is treated to harden<br />

the surface, but care must be taken to keep the top surface<br />

from getting nicked, dented, scratched, etc., or the ability of<br />

the cup to seal against pressure will be affected. See Figure<br />

4. Advanced ADVANCED User Operation USER OPE<br />

A. Sleep (Energy Saver) Mode<br />

The SLEEP mode is<br />

intended to be used for<br />

long periods of inactivity<br />

of the unit. When the<br />

unit is in STANDBY<br />

4.1<br />

(RUN LED blinks once<br />

every 2-3 seconds, no<br />

cup in base), it can be<br />

placed in SLEEP mode. In SLEEP, the main fan and<br />

lamp fan are turned off, and the bottom segments of the<br />

display are blinking (like eyes closed).<br />

Entering SLEEP Mode<br />

To enter SLEEP mode from STANDBY, push and hold<br />

the SLEEP button for 1 second. (Figure 4.1) If the unit<br />

has just completed a cycle (heat or light), there will be a 5<br />

minute delay before the fans shut down to allow the unit<br />

to properly cool. The display will count down from 5 to<br />

0 in 1 minute intervals as the unit prepares to enter<br />

SLEEP. Once in SLEEP, a light cup can be<br />

inserted in the base to "close the opening", if desired. If a<br />

heat cup is inserted, an error message “HC” will be displayed<br />

and the ERROR LED will come on<br />

accompanied by a beep every 5 seconds. The heat cup<br />

must be removed.<br />

Exiting SLEEP Mode<br />

If a light cup is in place in the SLEEP Mode, it must be<br />

removed before re-awakening, or the ERROR LED and<br />

the message “CP” will be displayed. To exit SLEEP, press<br />

and hold the SLEEP button for 1 second. The display<br />

will change from “_ _” to “oo” (eyes shut to eyes open),<br />

and a short beep will be emitted. The unit will perform<br />

self-test then return to STANDBY and be ready to accept a<br />

cup.<br />

B. Light Cycle Extension<br />

The user may increase the lamp on time during the light<br />

cycle if desired. When doing incremental build-ups on<br />

large bridges or crowns where shadows may reduce light<br />

penetration proximally and at margins, longer light cycles<br />

are helpful.<br />

1. After inserting a light cup in the base, the RUN LED is<br />

blinking fast and _L is displayed.<br />

Gray Light Cup<br />

(Pressure and Light)<br />

Black Heat Cup<br />

(Pressure, Heat, Light<br />

and Water)<br />

The light cup uses pressure and<br />

light. This light cup should be<br />

used for an increment cure. Place<br />

restoration(s) in light cup instead<br />

of using a hand held light or step<br />

light. Use the <strong>TESCERA</strong> reflection<br />

beads to fill stacking cups and<br />

adjust to desired height. The beads<br />

serve as a reflection bed and also<br />

support the die(s).<br />

Note: The incremental cure, which<br />

takes place in the light cup, forces<br />

porosity out of the composite with<br />

pressure and then light-cures.<br />

CAUTION: DO NOT USE<br />

WATER IN THE LIGHT CUP.<br />

The final cure: Place restoration(s)<br />

in the basket and insert into the<br />

heat cup for complete<br />

polymerization. Pour water into<br />

this cup, just covering the<br />

restoration(s). Add an oxygen<br />

scavenger capsule to the water.<br />

Place heat cup in curing unit and<br />

turn on.<br />

Note: This process heats, pressurizes,<br />

and light-cures the restoration(s).<br />

The water distributes the heat<br />

evenly and keeps an air-inhibited<br />

layer from forming.<br />

CAUTION: ALWAYS USE<br />

WATER IN THE HEAT CUP.<br />

A. <strong>TESCERA</strong> <strong>ATL</strong> Applications Instructions<br />

Step 1. Apply a thin layer of die<br />

hardener or ultra thin<br />

cyanoacrylate glue (ie. “SUPER-<br />

GLUE ” ) over the preparation die<br />

extending over margins. (Remember<br />

to have blocked-out all undercuts.)<br />

(Figure 5.1)<br />

Step 2. Apply one thin layer of<br />

<strong>TESCERA</strong> Separator over the<br />

preparation, slightly extending over<br />

margins. Gently wipe or blow off<br />

all excess Separator. (Figure 5.2)<br />

Step 3. Apply a thin layer of<br />

<strong>TESCERA</strong> Dentin Composite<br />

to the preparation and cure the<br />

dentin layer in light cup.<br />

(Figure 5.3 & 5.3a)<br />

Step 5. Apply <strong>TESCERA</strong> <strong>Inc</strong>isal<br />

Composite and cure incisal layer<br />

in light cup. (Figure 5.5 & 5.5a)<br />

Step 6. You should now be able to<br />

remove the restoration from the die<br />

and place it in the heat cup for the<br />

final cure. Fill this cup with water,<br />

just covering the<br />

restoration(s) and add an oxygen<br />

scavenger capsule. This process<br />

fully polymerizes and removes the<br />

oxygen-inhibited layer.<br />

(Figures 5.6 & 5.7)<br />

Note: If more incremental<br />

polymerization is needed, refer to<br />

the Advanced User Operation<br />

Section.<br />

5.4a<br />

Step 4. Apply <strong>TESCERA</strong> Body<br />

Composite over the dentin<br />

layer and cure the body layer<br />

in light cup. (Figures 5.4 & 5.4a)<br />

WARNING: DO NOT TRY TO SPEED COOLING<br />

PROCESS IN ANY MANNER. LET RESTORATION<br />

COOL AT ROOM TEMPERATURE. TRYING TO<br />

REDUCE COOLING TIME (ie. BLOWING AIR) MAY<br />

RESULT IN FRACTURE OR REDUCE LIFE SPAN OF<br />

B. Alternative Technique<br />

Step 7. Remove the restoration<br />

from the curing unit, finish, and polish<br />

or glaze.<br />

(Figures 5.8, 5.9 & 5.10)<br />

Note: You may use <strong>TESCERA</strong><br />

Sculpting Resin to aid in building<br />

and manipulating the composite<br />

material. Do not mix or incorporate<br />

Sculpting Resin into the composite<br />

material, as it will cause the<br />

material to cure prematurely. With all<br />

<strong>TESCERA</strong> composite materials,<br />

avoid unnecessary exposure to<br />

ambient light, as it will cause the<br />

material to cure prematurely.<br />

You may build your restoration in<br />

any manner you wish. It is not necessary<br />

to use the light cup.<br />

You may build the restoration<br />

and go into the final<br />

5.11<br />

cure using the heat cup.<br />

If you choose to do so,<br />

you will need to pour a<br />

separate model and die as you will be unable to remove<br />

the restoration from the die. Placing the restoration and<br />

die in the heat cup (Figure 5.11) will result in the die being<br />

destroyed, similar to a refractory die. This is due to the<br />

high temperature and pressure. The light cup should<br />

only be used as an increment cure, tacking the composite<br />

into place using pressure and light, preventing porosity<br />

throughout the whole restoration. Do not use the light<br />

cup for the final cure.<br />

C. <strong>TESCERA</strong> Polishing Paste<br />

5.12<br />

• Use a bristle brush or a cotton<br />

buff wheel at a low speed<br />

impregnated with <strong>TESCERA</strong><br />

Polishing Paste.<br />

• In a slow circular motion, polish the surface of the<br />

restoration. (Figure 5.12)<br />

• Clean excess paste off of the restoration using a steam<br />

cleaner and/or ultra sonic cleaner.<br />

• Complete the polishing process by using a clean<br />

cotton buff wheel.<br />

Note: For a glazed finish, use <strong>TESCERA</strong> Glazing Resin<br />

instead of polishing.<br />

D. <strong>TESCERA</strong> Glazing Resin<br />

5.13<br />

• Thoroughly finish (pumice) the<br />

area of the restoration(s) to be glazed.<br />

• Rinse and air-dry (oil free).<br />

• Apply a thin layer of <strong>TESCERA</strong><br />

Glazing Resin evenly, brushing on<br />

smoothly in one direction.<br />

(Figure 5.13)<br />

• Light-cure for 5 minutes in a light booth or with a hand<br />

held light such as <strong>Bisco</strong>’s VIP * for 20 seconds per surface<br />

at 500 mw/cm 2 .<br />

• When curing is complete, remove residue with<br />

isopropyl alcohol, and wash with soap and water. If additional<br />

layers of Glazing Resin are desired, do not remove<br />

residue until all layers are completed.<br />

E. <strong>TESCERA</strong> Separator<br />

• Apply one thin layer of <strong>TESCERA</strong> Separator to the die.<br />

(Die should be blocked-out and sealed before you<br />

apply separator.)<br />

• Blow off any excess separator with air, or wipe off<br />

gently with tissue.<br />

Do not leave pooled or excess Separator on die.<br />

Composite will not adhere to the die if excess Separator<br />

remains.<br />

F. Add-Ons/Repairs<br />

1. Prepare the composite surface by sandblasting or<br />

roughening with a diamond burr.<br />

2. Steam clean or rinse, and air dry.<br />

3. Apply 2 coats of Composite Primer* (sold separately)<br />

to surface and air dry.<br />

4. Place a flowable composite such as ÆLITEFLO TM * or a<br />

6. Troubleshooting TROUBLESHOOTIN<br />

The <strong>TESCERA</strong> <strong>ATL</strong> has built-in self-test and diagnostic features. Refer to the following chart of indicators and error codes<br />

for an explanation of potential problems. When an error code is displayed, the cycle did not complete and reprocessing the<br />

restoration is necessary. An error code during the cycle will cancel the cycle and require a system reset (unless<br />

otherwise noted). After the problem has been resolved, the unit needs to be reset to return to STANDBY. (see Operator<br />

Reset Section) For additional technical assistance contact <strong>Bisco</strong> at 847-534-6000 or your <strong>Bisco</strong> distributor.<br />

If no display or LED’s are visible, check fuse and circuit breaker on back of unit. Note: there is a high current resettable circuit<br />

breaker and a lower amperage replaceable fuse. If either are tripped or blown, no displays will be visible.<br />

C. Loss of Power During a Light Cycle<br />

The unit will automatically perform a depressurizing<br />

sequence and the display will read 9. Remove the cup<br />

and reset.<br />

D. Loss of Power During a Heat Cycle<br />

If power is lost during a heat cycle or the unit<br />

malfunctions, the sealing pressure is maintained between<br />

the cup and base. When this occurs, the cup may remain<br />

locked in the base. (If power is lost during the heat cycle<br />

and the pressure is released, a boil over can occur.)<br />

When the power returns, the ERROR LED will be on, and<br />

the unit will display an Error Code 17 to indicate the heat<br />

cup is in the base. The unit will first check if the heat cup<br />

is under pressure and above the safe removal temperature.<br />

If so, it will cool and the ERROR LED light will be on<br />

steady (Figure 6.1). This could take 8 minutes if the main<br />

fan is operating properly or up to 1 hour if there is a<br />

failure in the main fan. If not, the fan will run until the<br />

cup cools, and the error light will be on steady. When cool,<br />

the unit will beep and the FINISH LED will steadily light.<br />

The ERROR LED will<br />

also remain on until the<br />

unit is reset. Remove the<br />

heat cup and press and<br />

hold the CANCEL button<br />

and the START button<br />

together for<br />

2 seconds to reset. The<br />

6.1<br />

display will read "88"<br />

(normal start-up<br />

sequence), then go to STANDBY if no errors are present.<br />

If any other code is displayed, an error was found during<br />

the start-up sequence.<br />

E. Manual Release of Cup<br />

If the power in the unit<br />

or a valve in the unit fails,<br />

the cup may be removed<br />

by manually releasing the<br />

pressure in the seal. If<br />

using the heat cup and<br />

the main fan is not<br />

running, wait one hour<br />

6.2<br />

for the unit to cool to a<br />

safe temperature. Insert<br />

a rigid object into the<br />

small upper hole on the<br />

left upper back, below<br />

the left set of<br />

louvers, and locate the<br />

recessed black button.<br />

(Figure 6.2) Press and<br />

hold the button for<br />

10 seconds (Figure 6.3),<br />

6.3<br />

which releases the<br />

pressure in the seal, and<br />

allows pressure in the cup<br />

chamber to be released. It may take up to 30 seconds to<br />

completely release all the pressure in the cup chamber.<br />

CAUTION: DO NOT FORCE THE CUP OUT OF<br />

THE BASE; IT WILL COME OUT EASILY ONCE<br />

THE PRESSURE IS RELIEVED.<br />

F. Cleaning<br />

To clean the <strong>TESCERA</strong> <strong>ATL</strong>, gently wipe down with a<br />

clean soft cloth dampened with dilute mild detergent.<br />

Do not spray with aerosol or use abrasive cleaning<br />

compounds.<br />

G. Manual Cycle Cancel by Operator<br />

Anytime during a light cycle, CANCEL will advance the<br />

unit to the end of an unfinished cycle. During a heat<br />

cycle, CANCEL is not active during the cooling phase.<br />

If CANCEL is pressed during the heating phase, but<br />

before the cup reaches peak temperature, an automatic<br />

8 minutes of cooling is implemented before the cup can<br />

be removed. CANCEL is not active during a fault<br />

condition or during POST. CANCEL is not active in<br />

STANDBY or READY mode as the cycle has not been<br />

started.<br />

5. Note: The resettable breaker limits the power to the<br />

heater coils and power to the lamp fuse. The fuse<br />

protects the lamp.<br />

D. Adjusting Input Air Pressure<br />

1. The power needs to be<br />

on and the air connected to<br />

adjust the input air<br />

pressure.<br />

2. Find the middle set of<br />

rings on the air pressure<br />

7.8<br />

regulator knob, and<br />

position the adjusting knob<br />

accordingly. (Figure 7.8) The knob has 3 positions when<br />

moved perpendicular to its axis of rotation. In the lowest<br />

position, it locks and can not be rotated. In the highest<br />

position, the knob rotates but will not engage the<br />

regulator adjusting mechanism. No resistance will be felt<br />

when rotating. In its middle position, it can be rotated<br />

with some resistance and<br />

the bars on the pressure<br />

display will indicate a<br />

change in pressure.<br />

3. Locate the rows of LEDs<br />

visible from the rear of the<br />

base in the upper right<br />

corner. (Figure 7.9)<br />

4. Adjust the air regulator so that the illuminated bar of<br />

the top row of bars is approximately in the middle.<br />
