4.2 Instructions for operation
on
off
1. Plug in either the laser or cluster applicator.
2. Turn the "ON/OFF" keyswitch clockwise on the front panel to turn
on the Laser Sys*Stim 540. The numeric displays will light up on
the LED screen. This procedure is followed whether the unit is
plugged in or not. (initially 0000 Time and 00.0 Joules)
3. Note: When the Laser Sys*Stim 540 main unit power is switched
on by turning the keyswitch, the Green Indicator on the applicator
will flash momentarily. This is normal and is provided as a start-up
lamp test.
4. Energy: The practitioner can adjust Energy by pressing the
POWER "Up'" key for increasing energy setting or by pressing the
POWER "Down" key for reducing the energy setting. The Energy is
displayed on the numeric display above the POWER keys.
Treatment time is automatically calculated from the Energy setting
and the selected Pulse Mode and is displayed on the Timer
display. Holding either of the POWER keys down will automatically
increment or decrement the Energy and Time settings.
5. Treatment Time: The practitioner can adjust the treatment time by
pressing the TIMER "Up" key for increasing the treatment time, or
pressing the TIMER "Down" key for decreasing treatment time. If
the either of the TIMER keys are held down, the time and energy
settings will automatically increase or decrease, thus reducing the
number of key presses needed to set longer times.
6. Pulse Mode: Pressing the “Pulse Mode” key will step through the
various pulse mode frequencies available. The display above the
Pulse Mode key indicates which of the Pulse Mode frequencies is
selected. If SWEEP is selected, the Pulse Mode will sweep across
the ten pulse mode frequencies in ten seconds. When the unit is
operational and is lasing in the SWEEP Pulse Mode, the current
pulse mode will be shown on the display and will be seen to step
through each Pulse Mode in one second.
7. Please note: The Laser Sys*Stim 540 automatically calculates
the time or the energy related to a particular setting. If the
practitioner is setting the energy to be delivered the laser will
automatically calculate the time that the delivery of this amount of
energy will take. Conversely if a treatment time is selected the
laser will automatically calculate the energy that will be delivered.
8. Once the desired parameters have been set using the LED display
and the keypad, the laser output can be initiated by placing a
finger or thumb over the top of the “Laser Activate” pad on the
laser treatment applicator. This pad is a capacitance switch which
relies on the capacitance of the human body to sense when the
practitioner wishes to operate the laser. Each time suitable contact
is made over the pad a beep will sound.
9. Once the “Laser Activate” capacitance switch has been triggered
the laser energy shall begin to be delivered. This will be indicated
by the Green “Laser On” indicator located above the capacitance
