Handpiece
temperature
monitoring /
regulation
The generation of mechanical shock energy causes substantial heat
generation within the handpiece. A thermal safety switch is integrated so that
the life of the handpiece is not affected. In the event of overheating, an internal
shut-off switch ensures the cooling down of the handpiece.
In addition to temperature monitoring, en
Puls
Version 2.0 features
temperature regulation by means of a temperature sensor in the handpiece.
The fan in the handpiece starts upon activation using the footswitch and
automatically stops when a certain temperature is reached.
When the temperature reaches a critical level, a cooling phase is initiated.
This is indicated in the display by the following message:
"Overtemperature in the applicator. Please allow the applicator to cool."
The emission of pulses is no longer possible.
After confirming the message with "OK", the treatment screen comes to the
foreground. The footswitch symbol changes to a disabled handpiece and
appears instead of the start key until the handpiece is once again ready for
operation.
Once the handpiece has reached operating temperature, the footswitch
symbol appears with the text "start", and the treatment can be resumed.
Applicator heads
There are 3 different applicator heads available for therapy.
Changing the
applicator heads
To change the different applicator heads, hold the handpiece with one hand
and unscrew the applicator head from the handpiece with the other hand,
turning in an anti-clockwise direction. Then screw in the desired head, turning
clockwise until it stops.
Note
:
The applicator heads are subject to wear and must be replaced after a certain
period of operation (see Chapter 13.2 Maintenance).
Footswitch
Position the corresponding foot switch in such a way that is can be easily
reached during therapy. The control element of the switch is not direction-
dependent, meaning that the precise alignment of the footswitch is not
necessary.
To avoid damage, ensure that only light pressure is applied to the switch. The
switch should be operated with the front of the foot, not the heel.
The switch has no locking mechanism, i.e. it only remains activated for as long
as pressure is applied to the switch.
