OPERATION

a.

INITIAL SETUP

1.

Connect hand-piece(s) to power unit output connector(s).

2.

Insert your selected cartridge into the hand-piece.

3.

Push the cartridge all the way until it seats.

For TATC cartridges, align the flat side of the cartridge shaft with the
opening  in  the  handle.  Push  in  the  cartridge  until  it  seats.  The
cartridge  is  fully  seated  when  the  insertion  mark  is  flush  with  the
handle. Do not push past this mark. Repeat for second cartridge.

4.

Place hand-piece(s) into associated workstand(s).

5.

Add 

distilled water

 to workstand sponge (sulfur free) if equipped.

6.

Plug  the  power  cord  into  a  grounded  wall  socket  of  the  rated  input  line
voltage.

7.

To  turn  the  unit  “ON”,  push  the  power  switch. 

NOTE

:  Unit  must  be

grounded,  otherwise  it  will  not  work.  Unit  will  not  work  in  an  electrical
network where an isolation transformer has been used.

8.

Select  the  desired  output  using  the  output  selector/command  button.  The

the screen, respectively, to indicate the active output. 

b. REPLACING ALL TIP CARTRIDGES

1.

Make sure the system is turned off.

2.

Pull  out  the  cartridge  using  the  Cartridge  Removal  Pad  (MX-CP1). 

NOTE:

THE  TIP  CARTRIDGE  MAY  BE  HOT.  DO  NOT  USE  METAL  TOOLS
(PLIERS, ETC) TO REMOVE CARTRIDGES!

3.

Push a new cartridge into the handle.

4.

Place hand-piece(s) into associated work stand(s).

5.

Push the power switch “ON”. The new cartridge will heat up to temperature
quickly.

c. MX-PTZ AND TALON OPERATION

1.

Clean, and then tin tips well once heated.

2.

Ensure  tips  contact  all  leads  on  device,  either
the  bevel  or  straight  portion  of  the  tip  can  be
used.  Use  solder  across  the  leads  to  create  a
Thermal Bridge.

3.

Squeeze tool. Wait for all leads to reflow.

4.

Maintaining pressure, lift component.

d. MX-PTZ TIP ALIGNMENT

e. USER PROGRAMMABLE POWERSAVE MODE ADJUSTMENT

1.

With  the system in  the  Ready  or Power  Modes,  press  and  hold  the  Output
Selector/Command Button for 3 seconds until the time flashes.

2.

Release the Output Selector/Command Button.

3.

Press  the  Output  Selector/Command  Button  until  the  desired  time  is
achieved.  The  time  will  increment  by  10  minutes  with  each  press  of  the
button.

4.

Press  and  hold  the  Output  Selector/Command  button  for  3  seconds  to
return to operation.
