Width Adjust?
- This adjusts the pulse width. Pulse width affects the perceived intensity
and “feel” of the stimulation. Wider pulse widths feel more intense and narrow pulse widths
feel softer. The value indicates the width of each half of the bipolar pulse in micro- seconds.
In general, use smaller values for pleasure e-stim and higher values for BDSM e-stim.
See also “Pwr Level” in section A2. The factory setting is 130 and the range is 70 - 250
microseconds.
Note
:
Altering the factory pulse width will cause some modes (including some in Random1)
to feel dramatically more intense than others. Extra care must then be used when changing
modes.
Pace Adjust?
- This adjusts the rate or interval of certain modes.
A4—TRIPHASE STIMULATION
TriPhase
is an ErosTek exclusive feature. It creates three stimulation currents using only
two channels. It is especially important the
Phase
and
Audio3
modes never be used above
the waist. While the two channels are normally electrically isolated,
TriPhase
creates a
common connection between the channels so they are no longer isolated.
Audio3
also
supports wave files using phase effects.
TriPhase
can be used two ways. The standard method uses three electrodes with one
common connection between the two channels.
As shown in the diagram on Page 19, the striped wire of each channel is connected
together to form a common connection. Never connect both wires from each channel
together.
You can purchase a
TriPhase
cable directly from ErosTek and most dealers.
Think about the “triangle” of current flow when you place the three electrodes. For a male,
a typical example might be to attach the common electrode at the base of the penis and
testicles. The A electrode would then be used near the end of the penis and the B electrode
on the scrotum or an anal plug. With this configuration, when using the Phase modes, three
currents will flow in the body. The first flows from A to the Common point. The second flows
from B to the Common point. The third unique (phase) current flows directly from A to B.
Some of the
TriPhase
effect can also be enjoyed using a more conventional four wire hook
up. To feel the
TriPhase
current, you need to create overlapping current paths in the body.
So, for example, a male might connect Output A to the head of the penis and one contact
of an anal plug. Output B would connect from the testicles to the other contact of the anal
plug. This will create overlapping current paths around the the genitals and prostate area.
