Setup Procedure for Drum Inductive Applicator
1.
The drum inductive applicator has an indicator lamp which illuminates when the treatment is on. If the
lamp is not illuminated, check your output mode to determine that output has been initiated. Note the lamp
glows from dim to bright as the output power is increased.
2.
Select the output MODE using the touchscreen controls. There are three (4) protocols marked 1ΔT, 2ΔT,
4ΔT or VAR based on the desired application. The default or selected protocol will be highlighted on the
display. The power output cannot be switched on when the Inductive Applicator cable is disconnected.
3.
In variable MODE (VAR), set the required PULSE DURATION using the Up and Down Arrow switches.
The desired selection will be displayed in the PULSE DURATION DISPLAY. Should show 65usec and
400 PPS and 15 minutes as the default settings in the drawing
4.
Adjust the position of the drum inductive applicator by slackening the arm hand wheels. Position the drum
inductive applicator over the treatment site with a terry cloth or cotton towel between the drum inductive
applicator and the skin. As an alternative the drum inductive applicator may be placed 1/2" above the
surface to be treated without direct contact.
5.
When the drum inductive applicator has been placed in position tighten the hand wheels on the arm to
prevent movement. Touch the “start” button to begin treatment. The device will indicate that output is
active and the lamp on the applicator head should be illuminated.
6.
If the reflected power as shown on the display on the bottom left is high, it may be minimized by slowly
adjusting the tuning know on the side of the drum applicator. The optimal setting is the highest forward
power and the lowest reflected power. Tuning will ensure consistent dosage to the applicator head being
transmitted to the treatment area.
7.
If at any time during treatment the “stop” button is touched, the output will be paused, and the timer will
stop counting down. To resume treatment touch the “start” button and the treatment will resume.
8.
At the end of the treatment time, when the timer reaches 00:00, the buzzer will sound and the shortwave
output will stop.
Safety Features / Error Messages
The OmniSWD
®
is microprocessor controlled; it continually “self-checks” the operation of the system. If an error in
the function of the microprocessor is detected the shortwave power will be immediately turned off and the word FAIL
will be shown on the display. If the unit repeatedly fails after cycling the power, then qualified service personnel should
be called.
The unit incorporates a safety mechanism in case of overheating. If the unit overheats the treatment is automatically
stopped, the buzzer sounds intermittently, and “HOT” is shown on the display.
Coaxial Cable - Applicator Head Error Warning
This pop-up window appears if a treatment is attempted
without the applicator being plugged in (or if the
cable/applicator is damaged). It will also appear if a
fault occurs in the cable or applicator during a
treatment.
Treatment will be prevented from starting unless a
functioning applicator/cable combination is plugged in.
If it persists, then contact ACP Customer Support at
(1-800-350-1100).
