EMS MEGAPULSE SENIOR 265 User Manual page 34

The output level is shown as a percentage of the maximum power
available with the current set-up. In the example shown above, the
output level is set to 75% of 200W peak and 7.8 average, giving an
output of 150W peak and 5.85W average.
When the treatment time reaches zero, the pulsed shortwave energy
from the Monopulse applicator is terminated, the light at the rear of
the applicator will turn off, the output display will show 0% and a
three second alarm is sounded.
Maximum output power restriction for long treatment times
(Continuous mode only).
Treatment times longer than 10 minutes at the full 400 watts of
continuous power can produce excessive heating of tissue.
To mitigate the risk of this occurring the maximum available output
power is restricted when treatment times longer than 10 minutes
have been selected.
The following graph shows the maximum power available as a
function of entered treatment time –
Treatment time - minutes
Thus, for example, 10cm capacitive electrodes can only be turned up
to 100 watts maximum if the treatment time has been set to the full
30 minutes.
The maximum available power is calculated and displayed in the top-
right corner of the screen and shows 'Restricted' if that is the case.
