If manufacturer- recommended
specifications for the colloid to be
used are unavailable, follow these steps:
1. Cook-Down Temperature – Select a
profile and edit the cook-down temperature
as described on page 6. Start with
Cook-Down temperature of 200°F (93°C).
If the colloid is fully melted after 30 minutes,
then reduce the next cook-down tempera-
ture by increments of 2°F (1°C). Continue
the process until the colloid is not fully melt-
ed. Use the lowest cook-down temperature
that will yield usable material in order to
maximize colloid life.
2. Hold Temperature – Select a profile
and edit the hold temperature as described
on page 6. Start with a Hold Temperature of
140°F (60°C) then gradually lower the hold
temperature as performed above. Use the
lowest hold temperature that will yield
usable material in order to maximize
colloid life.
VII. Troubleshooting
1. Colloid-Saver 3.5 duplicator will not turn on.
A. Check wall outlet for power.
B. Check if power cord is connected to
duplicator.
C. Check if the main power supply is
turned to the On (O) position.
D. Check if back panel is secure.
E. Check 15 amp circuit breaker on right
side rear. (Press to reset)
2. Duplicator front panel display is working,
but duplicator does not heat.
A. Check heater connections on terminal
board, relay & controller.
3. Motor will not run.
A. Check 1 amp circuit breaker on right
side rear. (Press to reset)
B. Check top cover. It must be fully
rotated into a locked position.
C. Check motor connections on terminal
board, relay & controller.
4. Fan does not turn on.
A. Check fan connections on terminal
board, relay & controller.
5. Top cover will not open.
A. Top cover is designed to resist opening
during the advanced stage of the cook-down
cycle. This is a safety measure to prevent the
addition of colloid during the advanced
stages of the cook-down cycle which may
result in splash of hot colloid material.
