Energy Output Characteristics
Energy Output Characteristics
The VLFT10GEN automatically senses the tissue resistance and adjusts the output voltage
to maintain a consistent effect across different tissue density. The adjustment is based on
the selected mode or effect, power setting, and the level of tissue resistance. The
maximum output voltage is controlled to reduce capacitive coupling and video
interference and to minimize undesired sparking. The following table outlines the
maximum power, peak voltages, and maximum output current for a given modality.
Notice
Alarm characteristics cannot be changed.
Alarm response time is less than one second.
