11. Do not connect anything else into connectors – there is a danger of injury by electric current and/or serious
damage to instrument.
12. Instrument must not be used in presence of pregnant women!
At connectors marked with this sign, current or voltage may exceed safe values. This is
an instrument with BF protection. The manufacturer assures BF protection grade BF only if the instrument is
used in accordance with this manual and with instructions for safety operation, and provided that only
applicators supplied by the manufacturer are attached.
INITIAL SWITCHING-ON
Place BTL-09 on a level, hard surface. Make sure that switch is in 0 position. Put connecting cable into output
connector on rear panel. Plug connecting cable to a mains socket 230V / 50Hz. Switch the instrument on by pressing
the power switch to position 1. The cooling fan starts to work right after initial switching-on.
⇒
Do not use the instrument if the cooling fan does not work properly!
When BTL-09 is switched on, the channel A is set: led diode A (6) is on. Program No. 9 is set – "Program / Frequency"
display (4) shows "P-09". Therapy time for both channels is set at 30 min. -- Time display /8/ shows "30". Intensity
display (12) shows "..." If an applicator is connected, its code is displayed. After a few seconds, the code is replaced
by "00".
CONNECTING APPLICATORS
⇒
Only original applicators supplied by manufacturer may be used with BTL -09!
The table below gives a list of applicators that can be used with the BTL-09 unit. Detailed technical descriptions are
given later in this manual.
Code
Description
1
Big solenoid, 50 cm diam.
2
Small solenoid, 30 cm diam.
3
Ring, 30 cm diam.
4
Disc, 24x24 cm
5
Double cover, 2x24x17 cm
6
Triple cover, 59x28 cm
7 Adapter
plug
Plug an applicator into connectors (1) or to adapter plug attached to connector (1). Turn the socket clockwise about 30
degrees to ensure proper contact.
If the unit is on, applicators may be changed only in set-up mode (bar-graph shows no activity).
If no applicator is connected to the instrument, "Intensity„ displays of both channels show "--". If an applicator is
connected to a connector, relevant display will for about 3 seconds show its code. If adapter plug is connected
to the instrument but both applicators are not connected to it, "Error" light (15) turns red. After display of code,
"Intensity„ display shows intensity (in mT).
If adapter plug is used, intensity is set in %. Table of conversion of set intensity in % and mT intensity for a relevant
applicator is given later in this manual.
Using adapter plug allows you to combine any of these applicators: small solenoid, ring, disc and double cover. If you
use serial sequencing of triple cover and big solenoid, the driving current remains the same, but because of increased
induction of these applicators the impulses are getting slower. Therefore we recommend to increase intensity in about
30%, if a combination of any of the two applicators and any of the four applicators mentioned above is used. We
cannot recommend that serial sequencing of 2x triple cover, 2x big solenoid or the combination of the two be used.
SETTING CHANNELS
BTL-09 has two identical channel outputs. Select channel by push-button (5). Selected channel is indicated by control
lights (6). Therapy time and intensity is set separately for each channel.
