Patient cables are terminated with banana type 4 mm or 2 mm plugs – two are red and the other two are black.
Channels are marked with appropriate symbols. Electrodes should be connected to those plugs.
Figure 3.2. Connection of electrodes
After switching the unit on, red plugs are connected to positive pole, and black plugs are connected to negative
pole. Electrode connection polarity matters in case of treatments with galvanic currents as well as unipolar
currents of low and medium frequency.
As a standard accessory, the unit is equipped with elastomer-carbon electrodes. Parameters of such electrodes
facilitate performing treatment procedures within a full range of available values of output signals amplitudes. It
is recommended to operate with the unipolar currents using metal – tin or aluminum electrodes,
as they wear out much slower than the electrodes made from other materials.
As optional accessories you can purchase self-adhesive electrodes in different dimensions. This type of electrodes
is suitable for use with bipolar currents, especially TENS currents. They shall not be used for therapy with
unipolar currents! Selection of the electrodes type to a particular treatment should be based on doctor’s or
physiotherapist’s knowledge and experience.
3.1.4 Ultrasound head connection
Connect ultrasound heads into the socket marked as .
Figure 3.3. Ultrasound head sockets
3.1.5 Connection in combined therapy
To perform a combined therapy treatment please use the ultrasound head and electrotherapy patient’s cable
connected to socket B. After switching the mains supply on, the ultrasound head is connected to a negative pole.
While a red plug in channel B is connected to a positive pole.
