Preparation for use
20
Finishing the orthosis
1) Connect the orthotic knee joints to the lamination bars using the screws. Secure the screws in the lamination
bars using Loctite 241, and observe the tightening torque of 7 Nm.
2) Connect the orthotic ankle joint to the lamination bar using the screws.
3) Fabricate the paddings and hook-and-loop closures.
Installing the electrical components
NOTICE
Risk of cable damage
Shortening, extending and frequent bending can destroy the cables between the joint and electronics, and
between the battery and electronics. If possible, do not bend or crease the electronics cables until they are ready
to be fastened into their final positions.
NOTICE
Risk of short circuit
Do not insert the battery until the entire system has been assembled.
NOTICE
Risk of damage to electronic components
Dust, moisture and heat may destroy the electronics.
► Always seal the electronics on the E-MAG knee joint before sanding or performing other work on the orthosis.
► Loosen bonded components mechanically. Do not use a hot air gun.
INFORMATION
The E-MAG knee joint is equipped with polarity protection: If the polarity is incorrect, the electronics are turned
off to prevent a short circuit. If the E-MAG knee joint system fails to indicate operational readiness for no apparent
reason after the cables are connected, please check the polarity.
INFORMATION
Please ensure that the full cable cross-section is maintained after shortening.
INFORMATION
The casing and the electronics cable should be removed when working on the orthosis. To do so, disconnect the
cable directly on the E-MAG knee joint.
36
Turn the casing so the receptacles are visible from the
inside. Mix a small amount of sealing resin with a suffi­
cient amount of hardener. Do not use too much harden­
er, since this could cause bubbles to form in the resin
during hardening and make the connection brittle. Glue
the receptacle to the casing. Carefully let the sealing
resin flow in a thin stream around the receptacle into
the recess.
