5 Installation & Operation
ATTENTION:
The Auto*Therm 395 is not designed to be operated in environments where there is a danger of
explosion. Do not use in surgical rooms, where inflammable anesthesia may be used.
5.1 Mains connection
The standard Auto*Therm 395 must be connected to a mains power of 115 V ± 10 %, 50/60 Hz.
However, a special version is also available for the connection to 230 V ± 10 %, 50/60 Hz. (The actual
value is shown on the rating plate at the rear of the unit.)
Make sure that the the voltage of the available mains power matches the device before connecting to
the mains power supply. Connect the Auto*Therm 395 to a properly grounded socket outlet
using the
shielded power cord included with the basic accessories .
5.2 Turning the unit on
Switch on the power using the switch (1) on the left side of the unit. The Auto*Therm 395 is now in the
stand-by mode of operation. The “Intensity” (15) and “Treatment time” (14) displays are lit. Further
settings will be made using the keyboard (figure, page 5).
5.3 Mode of operation
Select the mode of operation using the buttons (3) , (4) and (5) . Pressing button (3) selects the
continuous mode of operation. Different pulsed modes of operation can be selected by pressing
buttons
(4) or (5) . They differ in pulse width and pulse repetition frequency (section 6). The LED
indicator will light when a particular mode is selected. The mode of operation can only be selected
when intensity display
(15) shows “ 000 ”.
5.4 Choosing the applicator
Choose the appropriate applicator size dependent upon the area and volume of the body parts to be
treated and whether inductive coil or condenser field application is preferred. Press buttons
(6) , (7) ,
(8) or (9) , (10) or (11) of the membrane control panel to indicate the applicator that you intend to use
for this treatment. The intensity (output power) will be limited according to the selected applicator to
help avoid overheating the treatment area.
The following selectors are assigned to the corresponding applicators:
