Ivoclar Programat P90 Manual
Ivoclar Programat P90 is a landmark piece of dental laboratory equipment, first introduced in 1987 as the pioneer of the membrane-sealed keypad in the Programat series
3. Key Sections of the P90 Manual
A. Initial Setup & Calibration
The manual stresses that placement is paramount. It requires a solid, vibration-free surface with 10 cm (4 inches) of clearance for ventilation. A dedicated section on "Mains Connection" warns against daisy-chaining power strips due to the unit’s high amperage draw during sintering cycles (up to 1500W). Ivoclar Programat P90 Manual
- The manual explains how to use the Pyrometer (Temperature Measurement Device) included with the unit.
- You measure the actual temp vs. the displayed temp and input the "T-value" (Correction Factor) into the program.
Mechanism: The furnace head is electronically driven; never open it by hand, as this will damage the internal mechanism. Ivoclar Programat P90 is a landmark piece of
