Setup Procedure for Drum Inductive Applicator
1.
The drum inductive applicator may have an amber indicator light which indicates when the treatment is on
(provided a mode that supplies enough power to drive the indicator is selected). The amber light is present
on older units, and was deleted in latter production units.
2.
Select the output MODE using the switches (3) marked 1
T, 2
T, 4
T or VAR based on the desired
application. The green indicator LED above each switch shows the current selection. The power output
cannot be switched on when the HIGH Q Drum Inductive Applicator is disconnected.
3.
In variable MODE (VAR), select the required PULSE DURATION using the Up and Down Arrow
switches (7). The desired selection will be displayed in the PULSE DURATION DISPLAY (8).
4.
Adjust the position of the drum inductive applicator by slackening the arm hand wheels. Position the drum
inductive applicator in direct contact with the treatment site with a terry cloth towel between the drum
inductive applicator and the skin. As an alternative the drum inductive applicator may be placed 1/2" above
the surface to be treated without direct contact.
5.
When the drum inductive applicator has been placed in position tighten the hand wheels on the arm to
prevent movement. Switch treatment ON (6). The protocol LED (3) on the front panel will light.
6.
If at any time during treatment the output is returned to the OFF position (6), the timer (2) will stop and
then restart when the output control is turned on again.
7.
At the end of the treatment time, when the Timer Display (2) reaches 00:00, the buzzer will sound and the
shortwave output power will turn off.
8.
As the Megapulse
®
II is microprocessor controlled, it continually “self checks”. If an error in function of the
microprocessor is detected the shortwave power will be immediately turned off and the word FAIL will be
shown on the Timer Display (2) for approximately 2 seconds. After this the microprocessor will attempt to
restart as from power up. If the unit repeatedly fails, then qualified service personnel must be called.
9.
The unit incorporates a safety mechanism in case of overheating. If the unit overheats the treatment is
automatically switched OFF, the buzzer sounds intermittently, and “Hot” is shown on the timer display (2).
10.
Testing the output (if output tester is available) - Select the 4
T mode (3). Turn the treatment on (6).
Place the output tester flat against the center of the application head. The light on the output tester should
turn on. If it does not, then qualified service personnel must be called.
