Connecting the machine

The installation steps to operation are:

Machine installation scheme

Directly connecting the machine to the CAM computer

Connecting the machine to the CAM computer via a local network

Suction unit

Power connection

Suction hose

Data cable of supported suction units (optional)

Ethernet network cable

Connecting the CAM computer

You connect the CAM computerClosed The computer that is connected to your machine and which runs DentalCAM and DentalCNC. via Ethernet network cable.

To avoid connecting errors, we highly recommend that you use the USB or Ethernet cable which was provided with the device. Original spare parts are available from customer service.

Connecting Ethernet

You can connect the machine either directly to your CAM computersClosed The computer that is connected to your machine and which runs DentalCAM and DentalCNC. or via the local network. For integrating the machine into your network, you will require the assistance of your IT specialist.

  1. Plug the Ethernet cable into the network port at the connection panel of the machine.

  2. For a direct connection, plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the network port on the CAM computerClosed The computer that is connected to your machine and which runs DentalCAM and DentalCNC..

  3. To connect through your network, plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into a port on the local network (for example, hub, switch, network jack).

Installing the air extraction system

  • WARNING!Always use an air extraction system that meets the requirements of the chapter Technical data.

Installing the suction unit

You can install the suction unit as follows:

  1. Read the documentation for the suction unit. Follow the operating and safety instructions at any time.

  2. Check if the connection of the suction hose has an outer diameter of 45 mm.

     

  3. If the diameter is different, adjust either the hose or the hose adapter supplied with the suction unit.

    Alternative: Use the optional hose connection of vhf.

    Example: Suction hose with hose adapter

    or

    Hose connection

  4. Insert the suction hose into the opening for the suction unit on the machine. Make sure that the suction hose is properly seated.

  5. or

  6. If you want the machine to automatically switch the suction unit on and off, choose 1 of the following options:

    or

      • Connect a data cable provided by the suction unit manufacturer to the machine’s air extraction interface.

       

  7. Continue with the installation of the suction unit as described in the documentation of the unit.

Establishing the electric connection

The machine requires an uninterruptible power supply for proper operation.

  1. Plug the provided power cable into the mains connection on the connection panel of the machine.
  2. NOTICE! To avoid job interruptions, install an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), type online / VFI (IEC 62040-3, Class 1) if there are regular power failures or frequent mains voltage fluctuations.

  3. Insert the plug of the cable into a socket that is protected by a Residual Current Device / Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter.
