Consider that independent use of the electrotherapy channels requires adjusting all parameters on both
channels. When this is not desired, or when independent use is not needed, you can also link the
channels. Some waveforms, such as interferential currents are only possible on linked channels.
5.2.1.3 Selection of current waveform
Press button [8]. All waveforms appear on the display, the currently selected one blinking. Select a
current waveform using the central controller and press button [14] to accept the selection.
When you select
requested to select a current type within this group. Select the current type using the central controller
[16] and press button [14] to accept the selection.
5.2.1.4 Adjusting parameters
Press the buttons [9] thru [13] to select a parameter. A button effects all parameters that are in line with it
on the display. Once selected a parameter can be adjusted, using the central controller [16]. A parameter
can be modified, as long as the icon identifying it is blinking. The display will only show those parameters,
that are applicable to the selected therapy.
5.2.1.5 Treatment timer
Press button [12] to select the treatment timer. The min icon is blinking. The display shows the treatment
time of the channel, that is currently present (selected under 5.2.1.2.) on the display. As a reminder, a
channel indicator is blinking above the treatment timer value. Only the treatment timer of this channel can
now be modified, using the central controller [16].
When one or more channels are active
available above the treatment timer value.
5.2.1.6 Surge programs
Some current waveforms can be embedded in a surge program. Press button [12] to sequentially select
ramp up time , hold time
the central controller [16].
When the current channels are linked, the surge programs are identical on both channels. In this mode a
delay time can be set between the start of the surge program on channel 1 and on channel 2. This is
done as follows:
Press button [13] and select channel 2 using the central controller [16].
Next press button [12] to select the delay time
5.2.1.7 Current intensity
The current intensity is adjusted using intensity controller [17]. The current intensity can only be adjusted
when the clock has been set.
The channel indicator
present on the display and that can be adjusted. You can change the channel number, using button [13]
and the central controller [16]. This selection operates in parallel to the channel selection described in
paragraph 5.2.1.2.
At 4-pole current waveforms the intensity controller [17] operates on both channels simultaneously. On
the display this is indicated by
case a balance control facility is available for the classical interferential current waveform (see paragraph
5.2.2.9. for details).
The unity of the displayed current intensity depends on the previously selected current waveform and can
be expressed in mA, µA or V.
A treatment is started by adjusting the current intensity, unless a surge program has been selected. Press
button [14] to start a treatment that includes a surge program.
The indicators
A blinking current intensity value indicates a poor electrical contact with the patient.
5.2.1.8 CC/CV mode
Depending on the selected current waveform, the electrotherapy channels can be used in the Constant
Current or Constant Voltage mode. It is advised to use the CV mode with dynamic electrode applications.
In CV mode the output current depends on the electrical contact with the patient and can therefore vary.
You can change the CC/CV setting using button [13] and the central controller [16].
5.2.1.9 Current polarity
When DC currents are used, the red terminal is the positive terminal and the black one the negative
terminal. To manually change the polarity, press button [13] and select
