Voltage Outputs

The voltage outputs correspond to the Set Point Displays as listed in the Table below. Depending the particular
Patient Cable in use, the display corresponds to the output voltage in open circuit as follows:

When the Controller is first powered on with no Wand attached, the Set Point Display digit '0' appears on the front
panel display as a default setting. If a Wand is attached at or after power-up, the Controller will adjust the Display
and voltage output to nominal settings. These settings will usually provide the best effect in most situations.
NOTE: If a Set Point is selected outside of the default range (between the initial Set Point and maximum Set Point),
proper activation of the Wand should be confirmed.
Once a Wand has been properly connected, the voltage level can be increased or decreased by pressing the voltage
level adjustment button located on the front panel. Ablation level can also be adjusted by pressing the Ablation set
point adjustment function on the Foot Control or the Hand Control. The ablation setting levels may be adjusted to
levels throughout the appropriate range, depending on the maximum voltage permitted by the particular Wand in
use.
