Warning:

 

Kirlian devices are very high voltage contact print photography devices.  All high 

voltage  devices  are  potentially  dangerous  and  must  be  operated  with  extreme  caution.    Do 
not attempt to operate this device without reading the instructions.

 

 

Electrical Specifications: 

Kirlian device requires 117 VAC standard US electrical power. Device 

draws  approximate  7  to  10  watts  of  power.    International  customers  must  use  appropriate 
voltage converter.

 

 

Disclaimer:  

Images SI Inc. or its affiliates assume no responsibility for damages consequential 

or inconsequential or incidental for the use or misuse of  the Kirlian photography apparatus. 
Images makes no warranties, expressed or implied to the fitness of this device for any particu-
lar purpose other than that which is listed herein.

 

 

Safety Precautions

 

A)

 This equipment should not be used by children or anyone not familiar with normal safety 

precautions to be used around electrical equipment.

 

 

B) 

Do not operate the Kirlian apparatus in the presence of anyone with implanted inductive 

devices or electrodes such as a heart pacemaker equipment.

 

 

C) 

Use a pair of glass lensed sunglasses when viewing the corona discharge if you do not wear 

glasses. Common glass absorbs the short wave ultra violet rays which can cause eye irritation.

 

 

D) 

Do not operate the equipment if there is any evidence of damage to the discharge plate or 

its dielectric material.

 

 

E) 

Limit skin exposure to corona discharge to about 1 minute a day. Note: A tingling sensation 

or  slight  shock  can  be  felt  when  touching  the  discharge  plate  or  an  object  on  the  discharge 
plate. This is inherent in this type of Kirlian device.

 

 

F) 

Use in a ventilated area to prevent ozone build

-

up. If multiple exposures are done in a rela-

tively short period of time with good ventilation, ozone concentrations of 0.5 to 1.0 PPM could 
produce throat irritation.

 

 

G) 

Do not run the discharge more than 30 seconds continuously. Allow one minute for device 

to cool down between long exposures.
