Attention
All personnel that will use this device or perform maintenance on it should read

1.1. INTRODUCTION
CAPENERGY devices are diathermy machines that conduct radiofrequency currents
through contact electrodes for physiotherapeutic applications.
Radiofrequency diathermy occurs when a high frequency electric current circulates
through the human body. This type of high-frequency electrical stimulation produces no
muscle or nerve response: it generates a thermal effect depending on the density of the
circulating current. Thus, the device produces a controlled temperature rise in an area
causing hyperemia, which is one of the desired effects.
Since the 30s, radiofrequency diathermy has become a standard method of physical
therapy and it is being used in other areas of medicine and for surgical applications as
well.
Since the 80s, the offer of Resistive (Direct Coupling) and Capacitive Diathermy devices
has increased further on, with remarkable clinical satisfaction both for operators and
patients.
The RF current is coupled to the human body by means of an insulated or non-insulated
electrode –the active accessory–, which together with the body and the return electrode
–the passive plate– forms an electric circuit, which allows the passage of RF current
through the body areas situated between the two electrodes.
The number of available channels on the different models of the CAPENERGY product
range varies from one to four. When a model has several channels, these operate
independently. Each channel has a keyboard that lets you manage the parameters of
frequency and channel power. It also has two light columns that report the selected
power level and a qualitative indication of the power delivered by the channel.
User Manual
Page 4 of 95
Page 5
The user interface has a screen and a keyboard that allows you to manage several
functions: timer, connected accessories management, state management, energy and
temperature measurements and alarms.
The user interface is organized in a menu system that makes it possible to choose
between the different features available on the equipment.
As a security measure, CIM units have a security control which allows the patient to stop
the RF output of the device immediately.
Before using the equipment, it is important to read the manual.
Feel free to contact us should you have any further questions.

• Do not use on patients with metal implants.
• The device should not be used on patients suffering from infectious bacterial
processes. In case of doubt, consult with a specialist.
• When treatments are performed, the equipment should be used on healthy skin
without wound
Regarding the accessories:
•Always try the distance between plates is greater than 4 cm, considering that
there must always be sufficient body mass between them. Prevent the heart is
between the plates.
• •Put the plates always well supported and the contact to be full with the body,
always looking for the best contact, even in areas with marked changes in relief,
as clavicles, shoulders, etc. Otherwise, with partial contact, may be too much
power concentration in certain parts of the plates, with the risk of burn in skin. It is
very important that the fixation of plates with bands favors the good contact
between its surface and the skin. If the plate is arched in its central zone and only
held fixed by the tips, burns can be produced.
• The plates should never be applied closet o metal objects such as rings, watches
(it is recommendable for the patient to take them off during the treatment).
• When applying, removing or moving the plates, make sure the power output is set
to zero and that all outputs have been shut down. Non observance of this safety
measure may cause skin burns.
• The resistive electrodes should never enter in direct contact with the passive
plate. Non observance of this safety measure may cause the device to shortcircuit.
• The active plates should be used with the protective covers supplied by the
manufacturer.
Regarding the intracavitary accessory:
• The intracavitary accessory must be used with the protective probe cover supplied
by the manufacturer.
• The intracavitary accessory must be inserted into the vagina or the rectum before
increasing the power. You may then proceed with the manipulation.
• It’s convenient for the patient to dispose of the safety control from the first moment
of the treatment on when performing this type of endocavitary treatments.

• Presence of metal implants (consult with specialist)
2.5 SECONDARY EFFECTS
Healing crisis: If the patient has consumed drugs or other toxical substances (alcohol,
tobacco, etc.) or has a history of liver dysfunction (cirrosis, hepatitis, etc.), there may be
a side side effect at the time of treatment. It has been observed that the treatment may
favor the elimination process of these materials if the device is applied in areas where
there is toxicity. The symptoms are temporary, and can be asthenia, headache, diarrhea
or fatigue in general, depending on the nature of the item being removed. Therefore, it is
appropriate to recommend the intake of plenty of water and rest. At the time that the
circulating elements are removed, the patient returns to normal.
Skin Irritation: In the event of sensitive skin with microcirculation problems, or a history
of smoking, the application of this device may cause skin irritation, if the power applied
by the equipment is excessive. This could produce small microcapillary ruptures, when
there is a lack of capillary flexibility and the blood supply generated by the machine is too
high. For this reason, you should control the power of the device in the event that a
deficiency in the peripheral circulation is detected. Likewise, you may also cause skin
irritation reactions, or even burns if the operator uses the device to infuse different type
of substances (acids, oils, cryogenic substances, thermogenic, anesthetic or abrasive)
with different aims.

Maintenance
This chapter describes the procedures for a correct maintenance of the
device and its accessories.
CAPENERGY devices cannot be repaired by users. All repairs should be
made by the manufacturer or authorized personnel.
5.1 IN GENERAL
When using CAPENERGY DEVICES, the following matters regarding periodic
maintenance should be observed:
Before the treatment:
The insulation of the active plate should be inspected carefully in search of
imperfections, damages of the surface, scratches on the insulation or any other kind
of flaw. Do not use the accessory if you detect any kind of damage to the surface of
the gel sleeve, protective membrane or active plate.
The active plates have to be used with gel sleeves. Avoid folds on the inside when
applying the sleeve to the body, in order to avoid pores or cracks from forming.
Any pore or crack in the gel sleeve means you have to get rid of the accessory and
replace it by a new one.
The cables and connectors of the active and passive accessories have to be
inspected to assure their perfect condition. The accessories should not be used in
case any kind of damage or imperfection is detected and they should be replaced by
others in perfect conditions.
The capacitive electrodes should be used with protective membranes to assure their
preservation.
The gel sleeves and protective membranes are consumer goods subject to wear and
tear which may affect safety. Replace the sleeves and membranes by new ones if
you observe any flaws.
Warning
User Manual
Page 39 of 95
Page 40
After the treatment:
The resistive electrodes do not have to be used with a protective membrane. They
are best cleaned with a class IIa disinfecting product.
The passive plates are not to be used with a gel sleeve. They are best cleaned with a
class IIa disinfecting product after each application.
After each treatment, it is mandatory to carefully and correctly clean all the electrodes
and active and passive plates. This will considerably increase the life span of the
product.
Do not use aggressive products such as acids, liquid ammonia, alcohol, etc. to clean
the external surfaces of the device.
We recommend a periodical inspection of all the components of the device. Contact
your official distributor in case you detect any anomaly.
The disinfecting product used must be sanitary product of class IIa and it must be used
following the instructions of his manufacturer.
5.2 SPECIFIC CONSIDERATIONS FOR INTRACAVITARY
TREATMENT.
Treatments carried out with intracavitary electrode require the use of an eco-cover or
covering sensor of anal and vaginal use, being very important when it is put on the
electrode the inside air is expelled for a better inductively coupled, recalling that for
these treatments is not required inner gel between the electrode and eco-covers or
covering sensor. The gel is only for outdoor use for better intracavitary sliding and to
favor the inductively coupled during treatment.
Eco-covers or covering sensor of anal and vaginal use are recommended by
CAPENERGY MEDICAL validated for treatments to be performed. Any other material
used by professional expose to the risk of burns or bad inductively coupled of the
equipment under their full and sole responsibility.
The recommended gel for use in intracavitary applications is validated by the
manufacturer with the presentation format single-dose sterile. Any other material
used by professional expose to the risk of burns or bad inductively coupled of the
equipment under their full and sole responsibility.
References validated the eco-covers or covering sensor of anal and vaginal use, and
the gel in sterile single-dose of intracavitary use are specified in "6.1
ACCESSORIES".

Clinical application
In chapter 7, you will be explained how to perform treatments with the
CAPENERGY devices and how to apply the electrodes and plates in
function of the different pathologies.
CAPENERGY devices must be operated by qualified personnel and the
working methods and protocols described in this manual need to be
observed. In case of doubt we recommend you consult with the
manufacturer and / or medical advisor those symptoms not described in the
manual.
Warning
7.1 GETTING STARTED
What follows next forms part of basic knowledge and can be applied generally:
1. Take the device out of its packaging and verify no damages occurred during
transport. In case you detect any, do not use the device and notify of the damage as
described in the warranty conditions.
2. Before connecting the device to the network (230V~), make sure the power point has
been equipped with an earth wire.
3. Connect the mains cord to its corresponding connector in the back of the device and
insert the plug into the socket of the isolation transformer, then connect the isolation
transformer with his mains cord to the wall socket..
4. Start up the device by means of the switch located in the back of the device. As soon
as the device starts up, all the power outputs automatically set to ‘0’.
5. Before activating the device’s outputs connect the cable of the manual electrode to
the connector of the active output or connect the active plate to its corresponding
output. An electrode and an active plate cannot be connected at the same time to the
same connector.
6. Connect the cable of the passive plate to its corresponding connector.
7. Repeat the previous steps for all the electrodes or plates you wish to use during the
treatment.
User Manual
Page 53 of 95
Page 54
8. Before starting the treatment, apply the previously cleaned passive plate(s) to the
client’s skin. Apply a small amount of vehicle cream if necessary.
9. According to the type of treatment, apply a small amount of vehicle cream to the
manual electrode or the active automatic plate.
7.2 SECURITY AND MAINTENANCE WARNINGS
The following matters have already been commented upon in the Safety Chapter but
those related to the application will be further detailed hereafter:
General matters
The device must be connected to a power point that has been equipped with an earth
wire.
This device cannot be connected to other devices.
Always disconnect all the accessories that are not going to be used.
Do not use the device in the absence an operator who can assist the client.
The device’s casing must be cleaned using a damp cloth and very little neutral
detergent.
The environmental temperature cannot exceed the interval indicated in the user’s
manual in order to assure the correct functioning of the device. Using the device at a
temperature inferior or superior to the indicated interval, may affect the technical
reliability of the device.
In case that the patient has used any kind of adhesive bandage, it is important to
retire any rest of adhesive before the application of the plates.. Failure to comply with
this observance may cause burns.
Active plates / Passive plates
Always apply the plates with the power output set to zero
For reasons of hygiene, the active plates come with a washable cover. These covers
should be cleaned with water and soap after each treatment and they should be
replaced when they start to wear down. Complete cleaning after each treatment using
an class IIa disinfectant.
User Manual
Page 54 of 95
Page 55
Make sure the accessories and protective sleeves of the active plates are in a good
state. Worn down or damaged surfaces affect the functionality of the device and the
efficiency of the treatment and may cause damage to the device.
After each treatment, the active plates should be disinfected with a class IIa
disinfectant.
The passive plate must be placed in direct contact with the skin without using a
vehicle cream on the same surface. The active and passive plate should be
separated by at least 4 centimeters in order to avoid excessive temperature
increases.
All the plates that will be used during the treatment have to be applied to the patient
before activating the outputs. Only after applying all the plates, you may activate the
outputs. Do not under any circumstance invert the order of these procedures.
The plates should be handled by qualified personnel, with adequate knowledge of the
device and its use. Special attention should be paid to the positioning of the plates:
as much surface as possible should be in contact with the patient’s skin.
Apply always first the passive plate (metal) and only then the active plate (isolated).
After the treatment has come to an end, first remove the active plate and only then
the passive plate.
The power of each channel can be regulated independently from the others, by
pressing “” and “”. The power level of each output is indicated by its
corresponding led bar. Power output can be regulated when the outputs are
deactivated or activated.
When the cycle of the timer comes to an end and after a stop to deactivate the
outputs, the plates may be removed. First the active one and then the passive one.
The same procedure should be followed to move the plate or change their position on
the patient’s body.
When the device is used in automatic treatment mode (active and passive plates
applied to the patient’s body), the operator has to gradually increase the power until
the desired level has been reached. Only after verifying the patient’s level of
sensitivity and tolerance to the endogenous heat that is being produced and after
connecting the security control, the treatment can continue without the operator being
present. We nevertheless recommend you regularly check the patient’s tolerance and
heat sensitivity during the treatment.
When applying the fore-mentioned automatic treatments, the safety control must be
placed within the client’s reach.
The non-compliance of these safety norms may cause the passive plate (metal)
burning the patient’s skin when the device is functioning.

The plates or non-insulated electrodes (resistive) cannot enter into contact with the
central unit’s casing or any other conductive material when the outputs of the device
are activated. This precaution will avoid other surfaces from being exposed to the
same power as the device’s output and thusly reduces the risk of electrocuting
patients and operators.
Manual electrodes
When manipulating electrodes during the treatment, always first set the power
regulator to zero.
After each treatment the manual electrodes should be disinfected with a class IIa
disinfectant..
Before cleaning the electrodes, the operator should turn off the device.
When using the manual electrode, make sure that:
- You have deactivated the outputs before applying the return element.
- The electrode is being used with as much contact surface as possible.
- When performing a resistive application, pay specific attention to the energy
being delivered by the device.
It is important to maintain the accessories with care. Please avoid them from bumping
or falling. Damaged accessories are a risk for the patient’s health and safety if applied
during a treatment.
During the application of the manual electrode, an excess of vehicle cream or
cosmetics may build up on the electrodes surface. This may generate a voltaic arc
causing the current to concentrate in that area and wearing down the electrode. In
case of a built-up it is therefore recommended you lower the power to cero and then
wipe off the excess product. You may then continue the treatment.
Intracavitary eletrode
Under no pretext should be used the intracavitary accessory with conductive gel
between the body of intracavitary and the vaginal-rectal probes. The use of the gel
should be exclusively external to the vaginal-rectal probes, when appropriate, as a
coupling medium.
The vaginal-rectal probes approved by the manufacturer is of prescriptive use for
performing intracavitary treatments, to ensure the health and safety, and to guarantee
the correct coupling, being prohibited the use of any other type of condom, echo
sounder, or similar product.

Page 57
Coupling creams
The coupling product serves to facilitate the electrical coupling and lubricate the
treated area to facilitate the displacement of the capacitive and resistive active
electrodes.
The recommended conductor product by the manufacturer to lubricate and facilitate
the movement of the electrodes is a emulsifier cream with moisturizing and emollient
properties, preferably free of parabens, with a proportional composition containing
natural oils, antioxidants extracts, and polar fatty factor.
You can neither use as a conductor product any cream whose composition
percentage is higher in water than oil, nor gels. You cannot either use any cosmetic
product which has been previously validated by the manufacturer
We do not recommend the use of products that contain cryogenic substances such
as menthol, camphor or similar. The same goes for carbon-based conductor gels: the
product base should by fat-soluble.. .
Do not use corrosive products such as glycolic acid.
You cannot use abrasive, thermogenic, cryogenic or anesthetic substances
You cannot use any substance which is identified to be aggressive for accesories,
due to the risk of electrode breakage.
7.3 POSSIBLE TREATMENT MODES

The C 400 allows working in all of the previously explained treatment modes, combining
manual and automatic techniques in one single session or working in automatic mode or
manual mode only. This means the operator can perform:
Automatic treatments with active / passive plates.
Manual treatments with an insulated (capacitive) electrode
Manual treatments with a non-insulated (resistive) electrode
CombinedCAP-RES manual treatments
Combined manual and automatic treatments
The intelligent connectors recognize the accessories connected to each output which
allows the operator to easily adapt to its use and to display a great versatility.
The number of outputs is what makes this device into multi-purpose unit, enabling the
treatment of multiple pathologies or even multiple patients in one single session.
EXAMPLE OF A MULTIPLE COMBINATION (Automatic + manual treatment)
User Manual
Page 59 of 95
Page 60
MODUS OPERANDI AND USE (example) :
The patient will be lying on a couch in the supine or prone position, depending on the
treatment to be done. The operator will remain standing close to the area to be treated,
manipulating the corresponding accessory for each treatment and with easy access to
CAPENERGY device
As a general recommendation, before treating a patient and/or defining the treatment
protocol to follow, based on the pathology that has to be treated the operator should be
sure of how to approach the client’s pathology and what kind of treatment to apply:
Automatic treatment
Manual treatment with only 1 electrode
Manual treatment with 2 electrodes
Combined (automatic and manual)
The (patented) intelligent connect recognizes all different types of accessories and
identifies them on the screen, including the intracavitary accessory which can be
connected to all of the outputs.
1. Following the chosen approach, the operator will place the passive return plates on
the patient’s corresponding body areas, observing the following procedure:
Output 1 – Place the active plate on the treatment area and assure a perfect
contact between the plate and the skin by using the elastic bandages. When
using the automatic plate without the presence of an operator, the safety
control should be connected so the client can stop the treatment whenever he
wants to.
Output 2 – Repeat the previous procedure.
Output 3 – Place the active plate on the area that will receive the return
current and place the manual (capacitive or resistive) electrode on the
treatment area, making sure there is a perfect contact between the passive
plate and the skin and applying vehicle cream to more swiftly move the
electrode throughout the treatment.
Output 4 – Repeat the previous procedure.
2. The next step will be to determine the working mode::
Through the menu options, the desired power can be selected (more information in

7.4 IMPORTANT PARAMETERS FOR USING CAPENERGY
a) Manual CAPACITIVE operating mode
Temperature
The sensation of heat generated inside the body depends of various factors and may
be perceived by the client as ranging from lukewarmness to intense endogenous
heat. The following should be taking into account when using manual capacitive
electrodes:
- Diameter of the electrode: At a same power, those electrodes with a larger
diameter will increase their temperature more gradually. Use them with the
protective hygienic membrane.
N.B.: It is correct to always choose the largest electrode available in function of
the area that needs to be treated as long as it correctly adapts to the skin’s
surface.
- Movement velocity: At a same power, the faster you move the electrode, lesser
will be the sensation of heath perceived by the patient.
N.B.: CAPENERGY devices can be used by applying a motionless electrode on
the treatment area or by applying the electrode in circular or linear movements,
according to the treatment surface and the power you wish to transmit.
Application pressure of the electrode
It is very important that the largest part of the electrode’s surface or the whole of it
remains in contact with the patient’s skin. This can be achieved by applying a discrete
pressure and following possible curvatures and irregularities of the treated areas,
continuously adapting to the latter. Correctly choosing the most adequate diameter
will be most helpful in this matter. A correct pressure is, without any doubt, important
to identify specific areas, core pain points or possible muscle contractions of the
middle superficial plane.
The electrode holder has been studied in detail in order to minimize the operator’s
efforts and to make the treatment more pleasant for the patient (deep tissue
massage, as if it were an extension of the operator’s hands.
N.B.: There are some exceptions where it is necessary to remain adhered to the skin
without exercising any specific pressure: this is the case with bruises, and phlebitis
and acute phlobosis in general.
User Manual
Page 63 of 95
Page 64
Type of tissue treated
The temperature perceived by the client in the manual capacitive mode depends
either on the parameters described before or on the type of the tissue located
immediately below the area where the electrodes are applied. The richer the deep
tissues are in liquids and electrolytes, the faster and the more marked the
temperature increase will be in equality of all the other parameters.
CAPENERGY devices is an instrument which, by means of a displacement current of
internal charges, can cause an increase of the endogenous temperature in function of
previously determined parameters. On the other hand, there are clinical situations
where it is not indicated to provoke such thermic increase. The analgesic, antiinflammatory and regenerative effect is present nevertheless, even when the internal
temperature is not increased.
b) Manual operating mode with direct coupling (RESISTIVE)
‘Direct coupling’ or RESISTIVE mode refers to the application of CIM with metal non
insulated electrodes (without an interposed dielectric). The activating mechanism of
this accessory, determined by the inversion of the current’s polarity, produces a faster
and more intense temperature increase in tissues that are not rich in water and
electrolytes (bone tissue and adipose tissue to be precise).
This application mode seems thus more indicated in combination with the capacitive
manual option for those pathologies that affect the fore-mentioned tissues.
Differences between the resistive and manual capacitive operating
mode
- DIRECTIONALITY: Given that the active electrode is not insulated, a smaller
concentration is produced in the area immediately below the active electrode that
takes on a directional aspect and is transported by the passive electrode (return
plate). Consequently, a displacement current of the charges is produced and a
temperature increase is generated inside the body. In other words, the main
difference resides in the special attention paid to the positioning of the return
electrode, which directs the impulses generated by the active electrode. For
example, when treating a lumbosciatic syndrome caused by a L-5 S-1 discopathy
with pain irradiation towards the heel, the return plate will be placed underneath
the foot, while the active plate will be applied in the lumbosacral area.
User Manual
Page 64 of 95
Page 65
- TEMPERATURE INCREASE: The power should be increased gradually from the
minimum up to the point where the patient notices a pleasant and bearable
temperature which can be perceived in the active or passive electrode or in both
at the same time, in function of the tissues located in between the two electrodes
and the penetrated diameter (at a same power, those areas with an smaller
diameter will heat up more, for instance, the wrist or the ankle). If the patient
during the treatment warns about an increase of the pain he feels, the power must
be lowered until this sensation disappears.
- MOUVEMENT: Differently from the capacitive mode, when using direct coupling
in most cases the electrode will be used in a fixed position or with subtle
movements in circles slightly larger than the diameter of the electrode that is being
used. The power has to be adjusted constantly to make sure the temperature
perceived by the client is pleasant at all times.
- ADHERENCE: It is important you always use electrodes that adhere perfectly to
the patient’s skin. Be careful not to touch the patient with the brim of the
electrode’s circumference.
IT IS IMPERATIVE TO AVOID THE RESISTIVE
ELECTRODE FROM ENTERING IN DIRECT
Warning
CONTACT WITH THE PASSIVE PLATE OF THE
WORKING DEVICE.
Direct contact will produce technical damages in the
device.
c)
Automatic operating mode with CAPACITIVE PLATE
Using the larger (200 cm2) capacitive automatic electrodes (active plates) offers
great advantages and allows to treat, without the need of an operator being
present, larger body areas. Each working channel (max. 4) works autonomously
and consists of a so called active plate and passive reception plate.
User Manual
Page 65 of 95
Page 66
Given the dimensions of the surface that can be treated, in spite of it being
insulated electrodes an ionic displacement current is generated capable of
creating a situation similar to that of the resistive operating mode.
In other words, as we’ve indicated before, in this case it also important to carefully
position the two electrodes in order to get the most out of the directionality of the
impulses created inside the organism.
The fundamental difference of the direct coupling consists in the careful evaluation
of the tissues located between the two electrodes: if the distance between them is
relevant and the tissues in between are mostly resistive, the electric field will
encounter obstacles that can interfere with the results. In that case it will be
necessary to reduce the distance between the active and passive electrode of the
same channel.
Let’s retake once more the example of the lumbosciatic syndrome L-5 S-1. If the
patient is overweight, the active plate has to be placed on the lumbosacral area
and the passive one along the nerve, for instance on the rear part of the thigh. If
the patient has a normal weight and even has a certain muscle tone (liquid rich
tissue), we can proceed in a way similar to direct coupling, placing the active plate
on the lumbosacral area and the passive plate against the foot sole.
The level of power applied should be assessed in function of the pathology that is
being treated and whether or not an increase of the internal temperature needs to
be obtained. The protocol will indicate the most appropriate parameters.
SUMMARY
1) Double working mode with operator
a. Capacitive mode
b. Direct coupling (resistive) mode
2) Operator free working mode (automatic)
a. Capacitive automatic plate with passive return plate.
3) Very versatile thanks to the fact that each channel can work autonomously and can
be used in all the treatment modes previously described.

points considered and the total duration of the session.
There are no counter-indications so the operator may
prolong the treatment time of the considered areas as long
as he sees fit.
Position of the
passive electrode
It is best to always position the passive plate close to the
treated problem area.
SUMMARY
The ideal way to use CAPENERGY devices is combining manual/automatic modes. It is
particularly recommended to start the session by treating the trigger points during a
couple of minutes in manual capacitive mode and then continuing with the automatic
plates.

7.6 CAPENERGY APPLICATION FREQUENCY
CAPENERGY devices can choose between three working frequencies, facilitating the
impedance matching between the equipment and the circuit formed between the
electrodes and the body. Available frequencies: 0.8 MHz, 1.0 MHz and 1.2 MHz
The column LED of therapy informs, in real time, about the power absorbed by the body,
helping the operator to select the optimal frequency that maximizes the power transfer.
When the column of LEDs of therapy achieves 100%, it indicates that it has reached the
possible maximum power transfer.

Electromagnetic environment guidance
Portable and mobile RF communications
equipment should be used no closer to
any part of the equipments of the
CAPENERGY product range: C400,
C300, C200, C100, C50 and C500,
including cables, than the recommended
separation distance calculated from the
equation applicable to the frequency of
the transmitter
Recommended separation distance

d= 1.2
d=2.3
where P is the maximum output power
rating of the transmitter in watts (W)
according to the transmitter
manufacturer and d is the recommended
separation distance in meters (m).
Field strengths from fixed RF
transmitters, as determined by an
electromagnetic site survey, should be
less than the compliance level in each
frequency range.
Interference may occur in the vicinity of
equipment marked with the following
symbol:

NOTE2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption
and reflection from structures, objects and people.
a
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular / cordless) telephones
and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AMF and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be
predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF
transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the
location in which equipments of the CAPENERGY product range: C400, C300, C200, C100, C50 and
C500 are used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the equipments of the CAPENERGY
product range: C400, C300, C200, C100, C50 and C500 should be observed to verify normal operation.
If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or
b
relocating the equipments of the CAPENERGY product range: C400, C300, C200, C100, C50 and C500.
Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strength should be less than 3V/m.
Following the results of the radiated immunity tests, if the device suffers radiated
electromagnetic disturbance, the normal functioning can be interrupted and a nonauthorized accessory change alarm will be displayed. In this case, the user only needs to
deactivate the alarm by pressing the OK button, make sure the electromagnetic
disturbance has disappeared and resume the treatment by selecting the corresponding
treatment parameters.
Recommend separation distances between
portable and mobile RF communication and the equipment and the equipments of the
CAPENERGY product range: C400, C300, C200, C100, C50 and C500.
