current flows, the Active Treatment Display (ATD) flashes and the treatment
timer starts counting down.
At the onset of therapy, the current flow is slowly increased until the value
indicated has been reached. The ATD shows bars to the left and right of the set
current value, helping you visualize the treatment as it ramps up. A full-bar
indicates that the current flow maximum value has been reached.
Should The Fischer
®
detect irregularities in the power circuit during a treatment
session (e.g. caused by movements of the hands or feet) the device shuts down
the current and then slowly reboots to the set point. This is the Anti-Shock
Guard.
During treatment, only the milliamperes can be adjusted. All other settings can
only be changed after having turned the device off/on.
The device switches to
“pause mode”
when you remove your hands/feet from
the tray and thus interrupt the current
flow. You’ll notice the current symbol
stops blinking on the ATD; the
treatment timer stops and the
remaining time blinks. Additionally, the
device beeps to indicate that the treatment has been paused. Once your hands
and/or feet are placed in the water bath trays again, the treatment session
continues.
The milliamperes are ramped down towards the end of the treatment to allow
your body to gradually readjust. Do not remove your hands/feet from the tray
until the timer reaches zero and the device has beeped three times, thus
indicating that the treatment session is complete.
The device switches to
short-circuit
mode
if it detects an unnaturally low
total resistance, e.g. because two
electrodes have been placed in a tray.
The short-circuit mode is indicated by a
continuous beep as well as the
“Caution symbol” appearing on screen
(pictured right). Once the error has been fixed, the screen displays treatment
settings again.
