Follow these steps to program pauses:
• Access menu level 2, then press the
parameter key to select the special
function .
• The display shows the symbol for
the special function and the selected
pause durations.
The display shows the symbol for
the special function and the selected
pause durations.
top: flexion/supination pause ( ).
bottom: extension/pronation pause
( ).
The flexion/supination pause duration
appears in a box.
• To change the flexion/supination
pause, press the "+" or "-" key.
select a duration of 10 seconds, for
instance.
• Press the parameter key again when
done. The frame automatically moves
to the line below, indicating that the
extension/pronation pause can
be adjusted.
The parameter key is only used to
toggle between these two functions.
• To modify the value, press the "+"
(plus) or "-" (minus) key.
select a duration of 5 seconds, for
instance.
• save the programmed values by
pressing the STOP key, then press the
START key to initiate the treatment.

n Therapy timer
Default setting is continuous operation.
A clock symbol in the upper right-hand
corner of the display identifies the con-
tinuous mode of operation. The clock
indicates the elapsed therapy time.
in the continuous mode, the device must
be stopped with the STOP key.
however, the therapy timer can be set in
steps of 1 minute to any value between
1 and 59 minutes and in steps of 30
minutes to any value between 1 and
24 hours. when the time has elapsed,
the device switches automatically off
and stops in the middle between the set
limit values.
in this case, a circle replaces the clock
symbol. The circle fills as the therapy
time progresses.
n Speed
The speed can be adjusted between 1 %
and 100 % in steps of 1 %.
1 % is equivalent to 14°/minute
100 % is equivalent to 230°/minute
Default: 100 %
n Warm-up protocol
during warm-up, the patient will slowly
become used to the set maximum val-
ues for extension/flexion and pronation/
supination.
The warm-up protocol starts in the
middle between the two maximum
values set for extension/flexion and
pronation/supination. The range of
motion increases with each cycle, until
the programmed maximum values are
reached after a total of 15 cycles.
After reaching the maximum values, the
device automatically enters the normal
mode.
if a therapy time is activated, the system
restarts with the warm-up protocol
when the therapy time has elapsed and
the devices is started again.
during warm-up, the display will show
the symbol in the upper, left-
hand corner.
Default: disabled
LEVEL 3:
n Reverse on load - motor A
(safety feature)
The device automatically reverses both
motors when the patient's resistance
(load) exceeds the set value.
Adjustable levels for reverse on load
feature: 1 - 25. At level 1, very low resist-
ance will cause the device to reverse; at
level 25, a high resistance is required to
initiate the reversal.
Default: level 25
n Reverse on load - motor B
(safety setting)
The device automatically reverses both
motors when the patient's resistance
(load) exceeds the set value.
Adjustable levels for reverse on load
feature: 1 - 25.
At level 1, very low resistance will cause
the device to reverse; at level 25, a high
resistance is required to initiate the
reversal.
Default: level 25
Caution!
m
Patient hazard —
The reverse on load feature is a safety
measure to protect the patient in the
event of cramps, spasms, locked joints
and similar situations. The manufac-
turer cannot be held liable for misuse of
this feature.

n Motor A ON/OFF
To permit fully isolated movements, the
motors can individually be turned on
and off. Motor A effects the extension
and flexion movements, while motor b
effects the pronation and supination
movements.
For an isolated pronation/supination
movement, set motor A to the appropri-
ate position (extension/flexion), then
turn the motor off.
in normal mode the display indicates the
symbol "OFF" during therapy, instead
of the programmed extension/flexion
angles.
Default: motor A ON
n Motor B ON/OFF
To permit fully isolated movements, the
motors can individually be turned on
and off. Motor A effects the extension
and flexion movements, while motor
b effects the pronation and supination
movements.
For an isolated extension/flexion move-
ment, set motor b to the appropriate
position (pronation/supination), then
turn the motor off.
in normal mode the display indicates the
symbol "OFF" during therapy, instead of
the programmed pronation/supination
angles.
Default: motor B ON
Note!
Please note that one motor (A or b)
must always be turned on. Otherwise
the following symbol will be displayed
when you press START:
LEVEL 4:
n Isolation protocol
For this special function, both motors
are turned on, but they will never move
simultaneously.
These are the steps of the function:
• To begin with, motor A moves to the
