Installation instructions

When arranging the components, take the length of the cables into consideration:
• Battery – electronics: 50 cm, variable length
• Electronics – knee joint: 30 cm, fixed length
NOTICE
Risk of cable damage
Severing the cable destroys the cable between the knee joint and electronics. The cable between the knee joint
and electronics may not be shortened or extended. If it is too long, wrap it and fasten it to the orthosis.
Now draw the final position of the dummies onto the region of the thigh as follows:
Dummy C for battery D with receptacle E (see fig. 10)
•
Dummy F for electronics G with receptacle H (see fig. 11).

CAUTION
Risk of injury due to joint bar breakage
A broken joint bar can lead to injury of the patient. Carefully sand down and smoothen fissures and ridges of the
lamination joint bars before laminating the orthosis.
NOTICE
Risk of damage due to improper installation
When setting, ensure that the bending radius is not less than 15 mm to avoid the risk of breaking. Grind away sur­
face imperfections such as grooves and burrs caused during shaping. The joint bars must not be subjected to
heat treatment.
INFORMATION
The only function of the casing is to protect and fixate the battery, electronics and cable connections. The casing
only has to be large enough to enclose these components. The casing surface should be larger if patients have
requested padding on their transfemoral socket. In that case, the pad is glued directly onto the casing. Other­
wise, the padding would have to be stripped and glued again every time a technician needs to access compon­
ents that lie beneath.
