6.2 Setting the piercing frequency
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to high piercing
frequency
If the piercing frequency is too high,
theskin is cut.
! Always start at a low piercing
frequency, e.g. 70.
! Switch on the power.
! Set an appropriate piercing frequency.
The piercing frequency must suit the
characteristics of the customer's skin,
the needle protrusion and the individual
piercing depth when working, as well
as the operating speed.
With a Cheyenne Power Unit
thepiercing frequency can be adjusted in
10increments using the arrow keys.
With a third-party power unit, thepiercing
frequency can be adjusted via the output
voltage: The permitted voltage range of
5 to 12,6 V equates roughly to a piercing
frequency range of 25 to 150 needle
insertions per second. 10 V equates to
about 110 needle insertions per second
at idle speed. If the output voltage exceeds
about 12.6 V, t h e S O L N o v a s w i t c h e s o
automatically.
6.3 Loading with ink
! Immediately before use, dip the tip of the
safety cartridge in the desired colour of ink
for 2 to 3 seconds with the unit running.
Avoid contact with the ink container.
The ink is picked up by the needles.
Alternatively, the ink can be filled into
the opening on the safety cartridge
using a sterile pipette.

ATTENTION
Damage to drive caused by fluid
If cleaning fluid or disinfectant gets
inside the drive, this can corrode the
electrical and mechanical components.
! Never immerse the drive in cleaning
fluid or disinfectant.
! Never use an autoclave or an
ultrasonic bath to clean the drive and
the connecting cable.
! Pay attention to compatibility of
materials when selecting cleaning
agents and disinfectants (see
