The letter associated with each control or indicator in this section corresponds to the labeling in FIGURE 1. 
 
A.

 

Power AC on/off switch.       Two position rocker, up for ON, down for OFF. The switch is illuminated when 
the power is ON. 

B.

 

Membrane  push  button  mode  switches  to  select  various  thermal  modes.              The  mode  can  only  be  changed 
when output is off. The selected mode is indicated by the illuminated LED. 

C.

 

Timer display, indicates the TREATMENT TIME selected, or with the treatment activated, the TREATMENT 
TIME remaining. 

D.

 

Timer selector switches, used to select the TREATMENT TIME. Maximum time selectable is 30 minutes. 

E.

 

Output Display LED indicators to show that the output is ON or OFF. 

F.

 

Output switch, changes the output ON and OFF        as indicated by the output display LED. 

G.

 

Pulse  duration  switches,  select  the  pulse  duration  in  microseconds  as  displayed  in  the  PULSE  DURATION 
display.  Pressing  the  “Up  Arrow”  increases  the  pulse  duration  to  the  next  higher  setting,  pressing  the  “Down 
Arrow” reduces it to the next lower setting. Does not function if 1

T, 4

T is selected. 

H.

 

Pulse duration display indicates the PULSE DURATION in microseconds (

sec). 

I.

 

Pulse rate switches select the number of pulses per second as displayed in the PULSE RATE  display. Pressing 
the  “Up  Arrow”  increases  the  number  of  pulses  per  second  to  the  next  higher  setting,  pressing  the  “Down 
Arrow” reduces it to the next lower setting. If 1

T, 2

T, 4

T is selected, this function is disabled. 

J.

 

Pulse rate display indicates the number of pulses per second (PPS).
