Intended use

Forearm cable
The forearm cable establishes the electrical connection between the product and the terminal device. The cable is
rolled up in the forearm of the elbow joint on delivery and can be replaced in case of damage.
Lock
Releasing and locking the elbow joint is automated according to operating situations, the applied load and the con­
trol signal generated by the patient by means of the electronically controlled locking drive.
The product has a load capacity of up to 230 N in the locked state with a forearm lever length of 305 mm. The lock
will slip under higher loads.
Mechanical release
With the product switched off or when the battery is drained, the elbow can be manually unlocked and locked
again with a slight pull on the unlock cable. In this way, the forearm can be brought into the desired position.
Mechanical release can also take place under load.
Electronic release
Locking and unlocking is controlled by myoelectric electrode signals or a switch. These control devices have to be
connected to the 13E500 AxonMaster. See the corresponding instructions for use for further information on control
devices and control programs.
Control of the electronic lock
Myoelectric control of the electronic lock can be realised in the following ways:
• One long co-contraction on channel 1 and 2 of the AxonMaster releases or engages the lock.
• A short co-contraction switches the grip of the terminal device.
• An impulse on channel 3 of the AxonMaster releases or engages the lock.
