Operation
38 1590 99 002_1 - 21. February 2011
Smooth pulse mode:
Fluence and Speed can be set
Note: always single pulse, always shortest possible time for set fluence
low fluence, high frequency
contrary to the other modes, several passes are always required
(see Application Epilation)
Burst mode:
Fluence
,
Speed
,
Time,
number of pulses (
Pulse
) and
Pause
between the pulses can be set
Note: the set Total fluence is distributed to the number of pulses
(several parts are applied to the same point)
Time refers to the pulse duration of one part-pulse
Pause is the time between the individual part-pulses (not the sum)
Tip
Please note that
only the useful modes can be activated for a specific handpiece. That means that not
all modes can be set for each handpiece.
most of the parameters technically depend on each other. That means that, for
example, the highest fluence is not simultaneously possible with the shortest pulse
duration.
The spot size can be changed by changing the handpieces and is automatically recognized by the
device and displayed.
In addition to the parameters selected, the device status [
or ] and, if applicable,
plain-text fault messages are displayed.
Furthermore, the pulse energy, the currently emitted pulse number and the total pulse number are
indicated additionally (see chapter 5.8.2
).
The laser is released by pressing the foot switch.
