Vibalance 2.0 

allows you to adjust two different amplitudes (displacement of the vibra-

tory plate on the vertical axis): L, low and H, high).

To change the amplitude just click on the letter L or H. The new selection will remain 
visible on the display.

To modify the amplitude (L/H) even when the platform is functioning, without the need to 
stop (see “on” screen).

Modification of the vibration amplitude from low to high.

Desired work time (5-180 s) can be selected in two different ways:

1. Modification second by second: click on the “−” and “+” buttons located below 
the window corresponding to time value.
2. Selection of pre-established times: click on the time window located in the 
upper right side of the display. Access to pre-established times screen, click on the
