Product highlights • The F-SCAN 2 is operated by a backlit monochrome LCD touch screen display of 320 x 240 pixels. Its viewing angle can be adjusted to the users comfort within 90 degrees. Touch commands are executed instantaneously which reduces setup times. •...
Elements for operation Backlit monochrome touch screen LCD – operated by a display pen. The LCD assembly can be tilted into a position of the users choice within 90 degrees. Display pen Potentiometer to adjust amplitudes of LED confirms Connector for FULL WAVE square signals between 0Vpp signal output when finger electrode.
Signals available on OUTPUT connector 10 V SINE wave signal Amplitude adjusted with Amplitude adjusted with potentiometer potentiometer SQUARE FULL WAVE signal SQUARE DC-OFFSET signal Switch in top position Switch in bottom position Amplitude of square wave signals in relation to position of potentiometer is linear! CAUTION: When using square wave signals, the output voltage (amplitude) must be carefully adjusted to the user’s sensitivity.
Memory capabilities built into the F-SCAN 2 The library functions containing the CLARK table of frequencies of pathogens and the RIFE table of sequences of frequencies - addressing disease symptoms – are fixed in permanent memory and cannot be altered by the user. User controlled settings of the TIMERs, the upper (“F MAX”) and lower (“F MIN”) frequency limit’s and of the “Delta F”...
General comments The unit confirms activities acoustically. This fact will not be mentioned in the detailed description of the functions. Sound and display light can be switched ON and OFF. The power supply warms up slightly during operation. Connect the gold plated handheld electrodes – or other application parts - with the BNC- connectors of the application cable.
The TOUCH SCREEN, SETUP window 1 The touch screen display is used to enter settings and commands for all functions of the F- SCAN 2 . Its sensitive surface reacts to a soft touch with the plastic pen delivered with the device or to a touch with the tip of a finger.

The icon has been touched. This field shows the present position ‘00’ of the permanent memory. If a number between ‘01’ and ‘50’ is entered and confirmed with ‘E’, a set of frequencies, or a DIRP data set with the frequencies selected for therapy, will be transferred from the operating memory to permanent memory.

ADJUSTMENT OF AMPLITUDE Low frequencies with high amplitudes can cause discomfort, skin irritations or even burns, especially if inadequate electrodes or worn self adhesive pads are used. F-SCAN 2 can generate square wave signals with amplitudes of up to 27Vpp with the potentiometer fully open.
INPUT AND USE OF FREQUENCIES and selection of variables. The icon “1 2 3” has been touched. The frequency field shows ‘0’, the numerical block awaits an input of a frequency value within the operational range of the device between 0.1Hz 15,000,000Hz.

If a sequence of frequencies with square wave form should be entered (for example 1,000, 2,000 and 5,000Hz), the MEMO function can be used to input the whole sequence. select the wave form by touching select “123” for numerical input input <1>, <0>, <0>, <0>, <E>...
USE OF THE INTERNAL FREQUENCY TABLES The user wants to call an item from the internal frequency tables to the operating memory by selection from the lists of names of pathogens or disease symptoms. The window THERA is displayed and the icon “A B C”...
Page 22
The user can override the automatic assignment with a touch on the icon of the wave form he wants at any time. NOTE: The operating memory can hold up to 50 frequency values at a time. If the number of frequencies selected is higher than 50, the message MEMO FULL appears in the bottom line.of the screen.
WIDE BAND SWEEP SWEEP, or wide band sweep, describes a procedure whereby the F-SCAN 2 issues successive frequencies, changing in small increments, which are each active for a default ‘Delay’ - time of about 20 ms. This time element can be adjusted by the user. SWEEP can be used with all outputs at any amplitude.
ZAPPER The ZAPPER – function is programmed to run automatically after a touch on it’s icon in the window THERA. It’s square wave signal is completely DC-OFFSET and has a fixed amplitude of 5Vpp. The frequency is preset to 40,000Hz. The only variable to be set by the user is the time for an active cycle.
DIRP DIRP (Dual Integration Resonance Procedure) is an automated procedure to get a resonance feedback from a user if a frequency is fed to him. The procedure can be used within the operating range of the device. WARNING: User’s with PACE MAKER or with PACE MAKER ELECTRODES should consult a cardiologist prior to using DIRP.

Touch the tab DIRP to display the window. Place the handheld electrode on the red lead into the left hand of the user. Instruct them to hold their right hand still. Touch “GO” to start the DIRP analysis. The frequency currently sent to the user via the handheld electrode is displayed in the frequency field.
Page 27
If ready to start the application of the frequency set prepared, connect the user with suitable electrodes, go to the window THERA and touch “GO”. As described before, the icon’s “STOP”, “PAUSE” and “SKIP” can be used to end the application, to take a break or to skip to the next frequency before the assigned time element is up.
Special features explained “WOBBLE” If the special feature WOBBLE is enabled, each frequency will swing around the targeted value within a range selectable between ± 10Hz and ± 9,000Hz (in 27 steps –10 to 90, 100 to 900 and 1,000 to 9,000). Example: Input a value of 100,000Hz, store in the operating memory and START.
Use of the “PowerPort” The “PowerPort” provides amplified signals to drive special accessories, like a flat magnetic coil adapter, or a special lamp adapter with an array of UV-LEDs. See options for details. “DATA EXCHANGE” between F-SCAN 2 and SATELLITES If the ‘SETUP window 2’...
STYLUS FOR EAV-APPLICATIONS The F-SCAN 2 has a built-in EAV-measurement capability. The EAV-stylus connects to the SENSOR port with a special cable. The stylus allows the user to measure the potential of Electro Acupuncture Points. For further information see the manual shipped with the stylus.
