Chapter 3 Overview of Current Modes
NOTICE
All current modes of the instrument are emitted in the constant current mode unless other-
wise specified (refer to Constant Current Operation on page 40). Only in simultaneous treat-
ment (refer to Simultaneous Therapy on page 57) the instrument is automatically switched to
a mixed mode consisting of constant current and constant voltage mode to avoid unpleasant
current sensations when the contact between skin and transducer is interrupted.
3.1 Settings for all Current Modes
The following settings are valid for all current modes:
Duration of therapy stated in minutes and seconds: The therapy duration of the re-
spective channel is preselected with the therapy timer.
Click on the corresponding function of the timer using the Data Selector <2> (the
symbol flashes) and turn the Data Selector <2> to the right or left (possible val-
ues: 1.00 ... 60 min). The respective timer is started when increasing the intensity with
the Intensity Control Channel 1 <3> or the Intensity Control Channel 2 <4>.
If the intensity in a channel is turned down to zero, the timer assigned to the channel
stops. When the therapy time is over, you hear a beep. The intensity of the respective
channel is turned down slowly. During a treatment, the timer automatically sets the
therapy time used last.
Current intensity set: This field displays the intensity of the respective channel in mA
(milliampere) or µA (microampere; only for GMC and MENS current modes).
The bar graph below illustrates the maximum level of intensity you can set. The sign
next to the intensity displayed indicates the polarity of the electrode with the red con-
nector.
3.2 Dual Channel Operation
Most current modes can be applied in dual channel operation. The following current modes support dual
channel operation:
• (UR) Ultra Stimulation Current on page 20
• (HV) High-Voltage Current on page 21
• (TENS) Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation on page 23
• (IG30) Pulse Galvanization 30 on page 25
• (IG50) Pulse Galvanization 50 on page 26
• (FaS) Faradic Surge Current on page 30
