When rotating dipole, the unit automatically switches to diagnostic mode (Spectrum value = 0Hz). After 1 or 2 seconds
the unit returns to therapeutic mode (Spectrum value = preset value).
2.6.4 Accessories – Visual Signaling
Accessories BTL-236 (for electrotherapy) and BTL-237 (ultrasound heads) feature blue pilot lights that signal their
operating conditions.
BTL-236-1:
patient cable with two electrodes. Blue pilot light signals:
• Slow blinking – accessories prepared for therapy, therapy settings screen displayed
• Solid light – therapy in process, possible dangerous voltage on electrodes
BTL-236-2:
patient cable with four electrodes. Blue pilot light signals:
• Slow blinking – accessories prepared for therapy, therapy settings screen displayed; pilot light
blinks on a pair of selected electrodes
• Blinking in rhythm of generated currents or solid light – therapy in process, possible dangerous
voltage on electrodes with pilot light blinking
BTL-237:
ultrasound head of 1 cm
2
or 4 cm
2
Blue pilot ring signals:
• Slow blinking – accessories prepared for therapy, therapy settings screen displayed
• Solid light – therapy in process
• Rapid blinking – wrong contact of head with patient's tissue, therapy paused; contact must be re-
established to continue therapy
BTL-448: laser probes: red and infrared – green pilot light and focusing beam:
• Blinking in rhythm of generated laser or solid light– laser irradiation (also indicated by acoustic
signal)
BTL-445: laser clusters: red, infrared and combined – focusing beam:
• Blinking in rhythm of generated laser or solid light – laser irradiation (also indicated by acoustic
signal)
BTL vac:
vacuum unit for electrotherapy – see separate manual
For detailed information, please refer to the leaflet enclosed with each accessory supplied.
2.6.5 Indication of Operation – Energy on Output
2.6.5.1 Electrotherapy
Presence of electrotherapy voltage on output is indicated:
• on the screen – by value of intensity of output current
• on the screen – by showing the remaining time till the end of
therapy
• on the screen – by icon of running electrotherapy current
• on the channel tab – by value of intensity and time
• on the electrotherapy accessory BTL-236 – by blue pilot light
Disconnection of electric circuit
(such as in case of wrong contact between
electrode and patient) is indicated by blinking information about intensity
and time on the corresponding channel tab, or by audio signaling.
This function can be switched on and off in the menu of the unit. Its current state is marked by a figure symbol
(crossed-out if disabled). Audio signaling can be switched on and off -- marked by a bell symbol on the screen
(crossed-out if disabled).
