(See fold out page at front)
[1] Time display
The treatment time is shown in half minutes. The
flashing decimal point indicates that short wave en-
ergy is applied and that the timer is running.
[2] Intensity display
The bottom field lights when a minimum intensity
is set. The higher the set intensity, the more fields
will light.
[3] Indicator lamp for tuning
As soon as the apparatus is tuned, this lamp switches
off. During treatment this lamp may briefly light if the
patient moves.
[4] Intensity control
With this control the required intensity can be set. The
maximum intensity ranges which may be set for the
various electrodes are indicated above the control.
CPL When the Circuplode is used for applying
continuous shortwave therapy, the intensity
set should not exceed position 6.
FPL When the Flexiplode is used, the intensity set
should not exceed position 7. This applies to
continuous as well as to pulsed shortwave
therapy.
CPL When the Circuplode is used for applying
pulsed shortwave therapy, the intensity set
should not exceed position 8.
First set intensity. Then turn the intensity control
completely to the left until a 'click' is heard ('0'-position);
from here the required intensity can be set by turning
to the right.
[5] and [6]Time setting switch
The treatment time can be set from 0 to 30 min-
utes.
Set time: press the "+"-key.
Reduce time: press the "-"-key.
By pressing the "+"-key one time, the treatment time
can be set from 0 to 30 min. in 1 step. The time starts
to run back to '0' as soon as the intensity is set. After
expiration of the treatment time the HF generator
is automatically switched off and a warning buzzer
sounds. Treatment can only be started after setting
treatment time [4].
[7] Selector switch for therapy form
Position "I" for continuous shortwave therapy.
Other positions for pulsed shortwave therapy.
The following pulse repetition frequencies can be set:
18
15 - 20 - 26 - 35 - 46 - 62 - 82 - 110 - 150 - 200 Hz.

DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS

[8] Mains switch
Switch on: press the switch to (I).
Switch off: press the switch to (0).
When switched on, treatment time display [1] and
indicator lamp for tuning [3] should light.
[9] Attachment points for electrode arms
By means of the supplied tool the electrode arms are
mounted in these holes (see 'Electrode arms').
[10] Earth socket for adaptor
Via this socket the Circuplode can be earthed.
[11] Sockets for electrode cables
All the electrodes are connected to these sockets,
with or without adaptor (see 'Connection of elec-
trodes').
Connection of cables or accessories other
than those prescribed by Enraf-Nonius can
adversely affect the safety of the patient
and the functioning of the unit, and is
therefore not permitted.
At the back of the unit you will find:
• Automatic resettable cut-out
This switch is normally in position '
overload occurs, the cut-out switches off the
HF-output. After approx. 2 minutes the apparatus
can be switched on again by resetting the switch
¤
to the position ' '. Set the clock to '0' before
switching on again.
• Ventilation grate
This grate is necessary for cooling the apparatus,
and must not be covered.
• Storage compartment
This compartment is intended to hold for
instance the operating instructions and the test
certificate.
• Warning plate
This warning plate indicates that dangerous
high voltages are used in the apparatus.
• Type plate
This plate indicates data such as type, series and
serial numbers (for warranty, service, etc.). Power
supply data such as mains voltage and current
consumption are also indicated.
• Connection for potential-equalization cable
If prescribed by the local authorities, a
