2.1 Intended use The Assistent 3000 is only intended for welding and soldering of orthodontic appliances. The use of the unit for any other purpose is prohibited. The use of the unit for its correct purpose also includes compliance with all the instructions contained in the Instructions for use ...
Dentaurum Customer Service’s personnel or authorized service technicians. When a Dentaurum product is taken out of operation once and for all, the disposal regulations of the country of operation apply. Dentaurum or the dental trade is available to answer questions regarding the correct disposal of any specific product.
In order to meet the complex requirements for constructing orthodontic appliances, the Assistent 3000 is fitted with 7 different copper electrodes for welding. These have special contact tips or surfaces.

Maximum load on unit If the unit is being used over several hours, only one welding pulse at the most should be activated every 5 seconds. However, if it is only being used for a few minutes (max. 30 minutes) a pulse can be activated every second.
Applications Welding brackets to bands When welding brackets to band material or pre-formed bands, ensure that the upper electrode is positioned fully on the welding flange of the bracket. Welding tubes to wire The wall of the tube must be in contact with the wire. If the pressure of the electrode is not sufficient to make contact, it is suggested flattening the tube slightly at the contact point with pliers.
5. Press hand rest down and insert workpiece. When pressure on the hand rest is reduced, the electrodes close and fix the workpiece in position. 6. Activate the welding pulse with the manual button or foot switch (optional accessory). 2-3 adjacent welding pulses are enough to create a perfect welded joint.

Note When welding with the hand electrodes, the welding energy must be set higher than for the click-stop electrode holder. The welding energy setting depends on the cross section of the material being welded. (See separate charts p. 25ff.). Recommended accessory: Connect foot switch REF 080-116-00 to outlet .
8.2 Soldering When soldering, always wear safety goggles. If soldering takes too long, the soldering carbon will be damaged. When using hand electrodes for soldering or heat treatment, the electrodes must not touch each other at the electrode holders. However, if they do touch one another, a fault signal will be given.
8.2.1 Soldering with the click-stop electrodes First tack weld the parts together with a weld spot. Procedure 1. Turn power switch to position “I“. The previously selected mode appears again. 2. Press pad (stage I) or pad (stage II) to select the “solder”...
8.2.2 Soldering with hand electrodes (optional accessory) Procedure 1. Turn the upper electrode head on the click-stop holder one turn (45°) to the left or the right. The upper and lower electrodes must not touch each other. 2. Push the plugs of the hand electrodes into the outlets and . 3.
8.2.3 Continuous soldering Press key to select the “continuous soldering” mode. The soldering process is initiated by pressing the manual button or foot switch once. It is ended by pressing the manual button ...
8.3.2 Tempering of wires Cobalt based alloys, e.g. remaloy , or Crozat wires can be tempered (hardened). The tempering of ® the wire elements depends on the time and the temperature. Heat the wire element only briefly using the hand electrodes (heat color: dark brown) at a temperature of approx. 470 °C / 878 °F. In view of the different wire dimensions, it is recommended to determine the optimum hardening conditions experimentally beforehand.
2. Fit the hand electrodes into outlet and and clamp the notched electrodes REF 081-501-00 into the clamping sleeves. 3. Connect the foot switch to outlet . 4. Turn power switch to position “I”. 5. Press pad (stage I). 6.
The unit operates under high voltage! To prevent accidents, never open the unit. If malfunctions cannot be corrected as mentioned above, please contact Dentaurum Customer Service (see page 19). *Replacing the fuse: Unlock the fuse insert on the right-hand side of the combination plug and pull it out. The fuse is now accessible and can be removed from the fuse holder.
