  • Page 27: Interconnection Of Units

    INTERCONNECTION OF BTL 4000 PULS (COMBI) AND VACUUM UNIT BTL VAC Combine any BTL-4000 Puls or Combi unit with the vacuum unit BTL vac to apply electrotherapy currents by means of suction cup electrodes. Adjustable vacuum pressure ensures simple and convenient attachment of patient electrodes, especially on parts of the body hard to reach with classic electrodes.
  • Page 28: Interconnection Of Btl-4000 Puls, Btl-4000 Sono And Btl Vac

    If you want to apply only electrotherapy with such interconnected devices, it is no problem. Uncheck the option "with electro" on the BTL-4000 Sono device, and the electrotherapy electrodes are automatically connected to the electrotherapy output. Connectors E-input and E-output are interconnected inside the ultrasound device even if the BTL-4000 Sono device is off.
  • Page 29: Setup And Operation Of Combined Therapy In Individual Devices

    2.11.4 SETUP AND OPERATION OF COMBINED THERAPY IN INDIVIDUAL DEVICES After checking for correct interconnection of the electrotherapy and ultrasound units, select a diagnosis or program that utilizes combined therapy. Select these separately on the electrotherapy and on the ultrasound units.
  • Page 30: Device Menu

    Make sure the installed accessory is connected directly, not via interface cable and vacuum or BTL-4000 Sono devices. This will help decrease electromagnetic interference, which could cause improper reading of memory data.
