Connection Of Electrodes; Operating Sequence - Enraf Nonius Curapuls 970 Mode D'emploi

For safety reasons only original electrodes and
electrode cables must be used.
Capacitive electrodes
Disc electrodes (Schliephake).
This essential metal electrode can be adjusted con-
tinuously by pulling out the dark grey rear part of
the electrode: indicating groves become visible (the
adjustment is 5 mm per groove).
With these electrodes a towel should be placed be-
tween the skin and the electrode, after clearing the
area to be treated.
Rubber plate electrodes.
Connect these via the sockets for electrode cables.
With these electrodes the 2 cm thick felt spacers
(see cataloge) should be used between the skin and
the electrode.
Induction electrodes
With these electrodes a towel should be placed be-
tween the skin and the electrode, after clearing the
area to be treated.
Flexiplode
Connect this electrode to the sockets for electrode
cables.
Circuplode
Connect this electrode to the sockets for electrode
cables via the Circuplode-adaptor.
Two way plug
With this plug, two capacitive electrodes can be
combined with a rubber electrode.

CONNECTION OF ELECTRODES

a. Insert the mains plug in the earthed wall socket.
b. Check that the resettable cut-out is in the upper
position ('I').
c. Connect the required electrode(s) (see our
therapy manual).
d. Switch on the unit [8]. The time display [1] and
indicator lamp for tuning [3] must light.
e. Place the electrode arms and the electrodes in
treatment position.
f. Check the connection of electrodes and cables
(ensure that there is sufficient distance
between the various cables!).
g. Set the selector switch for therapy form [7] to the
required position (continuous or pulsed). If the
pulsed therapy is chosen, set the required pulse
repetition frequency.
h. Set treatment time [5,6] (this will start the
ventilator).
i. Turn the intensity control [4] completely to the
left until a 'click' is heard ('0' position). The point
of the time display [1] starts flickering and the
bottom field of the intensity display [2] lights.
Turn the intensity control [4] slowly to the right:
after passing position '1' the indicator lamp for
tuning [6] will go out. The unit is now tuned. Set
the required intensity by turning the control [8]
further to the right.
j. When treatment time is ended, the intensity is
automatically switched off and a warning signal
sounds. The display [2] extinguishes.
Remark: always set intensity out of the '0' posi-
tion before starting the treatment.
Consult our therapy manual for applications.
Operational errors
If you switch over from continuous to pulsed short-
wave during treatment:
The automatic security cut-out switches off the HF
generator. Lamp [3] lights up.
If you switch over from pulsed to continuous short-
wave during treatment:
The pulse intensity is reduced to a safe minimal
value.
In both cases reset as follows:
- First set treatment time back to '0' [5,6].
- Select required therapy form [7] (continuous or
pulsed).
Repeat operating sequence as from item h.
