Measuring the light intensity
The integrated radiometer allows the light intensity (mW/cm
measured easily and quickly while the charging base is connected.
To measure the light intensity, place the tip of the light guide, without
protective cover, flush into the marked recess on the upper side of the
charging base. Then activate the light and read the value displayed on
the screen. Measurement accuracy is in the range of +/– 10%. If the light
intensity is below 400 mW/cm
light intensity of the curing light only with the accompanying charging base
supplied in the delivery form.
3.2 Operation
Disinfect contaminated surfaces of the curing light as well as light guides and anti-glare cones before each use.
Additionally, the light guide can be sterilized using the autoclaves intended for this purpose (see chapter Maintenance
and Cleaning). Furthermore, make sure that the emitted light intensity permits adequate polymerization. For that
purpose, inspect the light guide for contamination and damage and check the light intensity at regular intervals
(see paragraph Measuring the light intensity).
Selecting the curing program and curing time
Bluephase PowerCure is equipped with 5 selectable curing times and 4 curing programs for different indications.
Use the Time/Program selection button to set the desired curing time and/or the light intensity.

H (High Power program), 1,200 mW/cm
The following curing times can be selected in the High Power program: 10, 15 or 20 seconds.

T (Turbo program), 2,000 mW/cm
The curing time is set to 5 seconds in the Turbo program and cannot be changed.

3s (3sCure program), 3,000 mW/cm
In the 3sCure program, the curing time is set to 3 seconds and cannot be changed. The 3sCure program can be
activated no more than twice in direct succession. After the two curing cycles have been conducted, a 30-second
break is necessary for safety reasons before the next curing cycle can be activated.
PRE (PreCure program) *:
The PreCure program is used to tack cure light-curing, adhesive luting composites in order to facilitate the removal
of excess material. If other luting composites are used, the distance from the light guide to the composite must be
increased or several curing cycles must be conducted. The curing time of the PreCure program is preset to 2 seconds
and cannot be altered.
*Rounded values. See Chapter 7 Product Specifications
Repeated consecutive curing cycles (more than 2 curing cycles in succession) on the same tooth entail
the risk that the pulp may become damaged due to the increase in temperature.
The PreCure program must not be used for conventional light-curing!
