Version 1.19-4 / 2010-05-31

4 Functional principals and operation

The maximum voltage is +/- 200 Volts.

The operational indicator (READY) at the front panel of the TWISTER

®

shows, that the TWISTER

®

is ready to deliver stimulation pulses.

The

electrode output

is twice isolated against power supply and the control unit, consisting

of the trigger output, footswitch input and USB link and thus potential free.

Only those

electrodes

approved by the Dr. Langer Medical GmbH are allowed to be

connected to the electrode output.

The stimulation current density must not exceed 2 mA / cm²

.

Energy limitation:

TWISTER

®

monitors the energy delivered to the electrodes. The energy is measured at a

1000 Ohm resistance and limited to a maximum of 50 mJ. The exceeding will be signalized

by the software.
