Operation; Definitions - Pace ST 115 Operation & Maintenance Manual

PACE recommends that you not read the "Set-Up Mode" section until after you feel
comfortable with system operation. Please read the following "Operation" section
thoroughly before changing the system settings.

Definitions

Please read and become familiar with the definitions of each of the following terms
which are used repeatedly in the following operational procedures.
AUTO OFF - Safety feature which turns power off (10-90 minutes, settable in 10
minute increments) after the system has entered Temperature Setback.
NORMAL OPERATION - Normal operating mode of the system in which the
Operating Tip Temperature is displayed.
OPERATING TIP TEMPERATURE - The true tip temperature at which the handpiece
tip operates at any given time.
SET TIP TEMPERATURE - The operator selected idle tip temperature entered into
the system memory.
SET-UP MODE - Mode of operation in which the operator can quickly and easily
adjust the system parameters (e.g., temperature limits, password, setback time).
TEMPERATURE ADJUST MODE - Mode of operation in which the operator can
quickly and easily adjust the Set Tip Temperature.
TEMPERATURE DISPLAY IMPEDANCE (TDI) MODE - Stabilizes the tip
temperature shown on the LED Display by ignoring minor temperature fluctuations.
Displayed changes in temperature are delayed (impeded) for two seconds when a
load is applied to the tip. Two seconds after the load is removed, the displayed
temperature will begin rising to set temperature. Particularly useful in a production
environment for monitoring of set temperatures, since under most production
circumstances the temperature will not deviate.
TEMPERATURE SETBACK - System feature which, when enabled, will
independently set back the Set Tip Temperature to 177°C (350°F) after a user selected
period of handpiece inactivity (10 to 90 minutes, settable in 10 minute increments).
This feature is enabled (or disabled) in the Set-Up Mode.
TIP OFFSET CONSTANT - Specific value for a given handpiece/tip combination
upon which the system automatically calculates the correct Tip Temperature Offset at
any entered Set Tip Temperature. This value is the temperature loss (Tip Temperature
Offset) at 371°C (700°F) and is set in the Set-Up Mode. A value of 0-115°C (0-240°F)
may be entered in the Set-Up Mode.
TIP TEMPERATURE OFFSET - Difference in value between the temperature
measured by the temperature sensor (at the heater) and the true temperature of the tip
at a given Set Tip Temperature.
