In the operating mode, the LCD display shows the preselectedstimulation current set on the controller between 0.00 andapprox. 1.00 mA (in the 1 mA range) or from 0.00 to approx.5.00 (in the 5 mA range). In the operating mode, the Stimu- plex ® HNS 11 shows the stimulation current actually flowing vi...

The Stimuplex ® HNS 11 nerve stimulator offers a choice between a range up to 5 mA max. or up to 1 mA max.Values between 0.00 mA and 1.00 mA can be selected in the 1 mArange with the on/off co...

Page 9 - The LED displays; Current display mode

The LED displays All LEDs directly assigned to the buttons are used to monitor theselected operating mode. Since LEDs require relatively high power,the Stimuplex ® HNS 11 switches them off after 8 seconds (see p. 6 Section 7). The individual displays have the following significance: Current display ...

Page 10 - Pulse LED display; tick; The LCD display

Pulse LED display The small orange LED above the LCD display flashes according tothe pulse frequency set (1 Hz: once per second; 2 Hz: twice persecond) when current is flowing through the electrodes. At thesame time, a louder tick can be heard. The LCD display According to the display mode selected,...

Page 11 - The tone; Initial set up, maintenance, and general advice; Testing the Stimuplex

The tone Each generated pulse produces a tick . When a stimulation current flows to the electrodes (greater than 2% of the maximum stimula-tion adjustable), the tick becomes louder. If the stimulation current flowing exceeds the current set, thentaking into account the measuring tolerance (see page ...
