Microcurrent Treatment Time; Detailed Microcurrent Setup - Dynatronics Dynatron 850 Plus Service Manual

Microcurrent Treatment Time

• All probe treatments are manual, and a treatment time is not set. During the probe
treatment, the timer will start at zero and count UP in SECONDS when current is on, and
will return to zero when current is stopped. You must press START to begin the
treatment, then press the button on the probe to start and stop delivery of current. Press
STOP or Function-Stop at the end of a probe treatment.
• Electrode treatments are timed, and a treatment time in MINUTES is entered at the start
of the treatment. The timer counts DOWN for electrode treatments.

Detailed Microcurrent Setup

Before setting up a microcurrent treatment with electrodes, attach a lead wire with two
electrodes to Channel 1, or, for a probes treatment, connect the optional probe to the MICRO
PROBE output on the left side of the device. During a microcurrent treatment, the
microcurrent is delivered to both probes and Channel 1 outputs simultaneously.
1. Press the MICRO key.
When you press the MICRO key, the default settings are automatically selected. If you
wish to use the default settings, you can now simply press START. If you wish to use
other settings, do the following:
2. Choose the output desired CH1 (for electrodes treatment) or MICRO (for probes
treatment).
The default for this option is treatment with electrodes. Press the channel toggle key to
select MICRO for treatment using the optional probe, if desired.
3. Choose POLARITY.
Press and hold the FUNCTION key and press the MICRO key at the same time to select
the desired polarity. Repeat this one or more times until the desired polarity is selected.
Press once to select positive ("+"), press again to select negative ("-"), and press again to
select dual polarity (both "+" and "-" LEDs are lighted). When both positive and
negative are selected, the resulting bipolar waveform includes both a positive and a
negative phase.
4. For electrode treatments only, change the TIME, if desired.
To change the time, use the Time up/down arrow keys to change the treatment time. Be
sure that Time is selected when you make this change; the indicator light shows which
option is selected. The toggle key allows you to choose the desired option.
For probes treatment, the Time display shows zero until you begin treating. When you
press the button on the probe, the device beeps once and the timer then counts up from
zero (in seconds) allowing you to time the delivery of current to each treatment site.
When you press the button on the probe to stop the current, the device beeps twice and
the timer returns to zero.
