The PERFORMA + is an appliance for pulsed shortwave therapy. The unit has 2 output channels and
there are 2 different coil-field applicators.
In this chapter the important features from the users manual for service personnel are listed. In the next
chapter the theory of operation will be explained. In chapter 3 is described how service personnel can
check the operation of the Performa+ and in chapter 4 the adjustments which can be executed by
technicians. The next chapter contains information which could be very useful for trouble shooting such
as the description of the automatic self test and a list of the error numbers. The schematic diagrams are
in chapter 6, together with the reference list and the spare parts list.
2.2 Safety aspects.
2.2.1 Electrical safety.
The equipment can only be used in areas with provisions in accordance with current statutory
requirements. Pay particular attention to the use of protective earth, otherwise the patient leakage
current can rise above the permitted limit for type BF equipment.
2.2.2 Explosion safety.
The equipment is not suitable for use in areas where flammable gasses or vapours are present.
Therefore, remove the mains plug from the socket before the area in which the equipment is located is
disinfected, since some disinfecting solutions evaporate and subsequently form an explosive mixture.
2.2.3 Safety of use.
- Patients who have electrical implants (i.e. pacemaker) may only be treated following medical
advice.
- The equipment is not suitable for use in damp areas.
- The equipment may not be disinfected or sterilised.
- The device is fit for continuous use.
- Only use the original accessories.
2.2.4 Radio interference suppression and electromagnetic compatibility.
This equipment meets the guidelines for ISM equipment relating to electromagnetic compatibility and is
radio interference suppressed according to IEC 601.1.
However, the 27.12 MHz signal might disturb …

2.2.5 Medical device directive (MDD)
This device complies with the essential requirements of the Medical Device Directive of the
European Committee (93/42/CEE ) as most recently changed.
2.3 Installation.
2.3.1 Incoming inspection.
Check that the equipment has not been damaged during transportation and that the accessories are intact
and complete. In the event of damage and/or defect you should inform your supplier.
2.3.2 Mains voltage.
The appliance operates at a nominal voltage of 115 or 230 Volt AC( +/- 15%), 50-60 Hz. On the back
of the appliance, you will find a label with the mains voltage. Check if the voltage is selected
correctly (setting of another value than the value which should be used in your region can lead to
irreversible damage of the equipment).
2.3.3 Functional test.
During production the equipment is tested for electrical safety. Whenever the equipment is switched on,
the processor performs an extensive test to ensure that the equipment is operating correctly. In addition
you must check whether the display and the indicator lamps are operating correctly. If this is not the
case, do not use the equipment and contact Uniphy bv.
2.3.4 Selecting the operating language.
The device gives several language options.
To change the language settings, press the SELECT < and > keys while switching on the unit.You can
now select the desired language by turning the rotary, the equipment will use the language you have
chosen.
2.3.5 Location and transportation.
The equipment must be set up horizontally and stable. You must ensure that the perforated sections on
the backside of the casing are not covered up, thus hindering air circulation.
For transportation only use the original packaging.
The appliance is capable, while packed for transport and storage, of being exposed to environmental
conditions not outside the following ranges:
• a ambient temperature range of -20ºC to +60ºC;
• a relative humidity range of 10% to 100%, including condensation;
• an atmospheric pressure range of 500hPa to 1060 HPa.

4. OPERATION
4.1 General information.
The Phyaction performa+ is able to generate a maximum peak power of 200 Watts.
However, this power cannot be reached under all circumstances.
The maximum power under all circumstances = 230/SWR, with a maximum of 200 watts.
Under ideal circumstances S = 1 (perfect contact between plode and patient).
Suppose that the set power is 200 watts and S = 1.3: the output power is now 230/1.3= 177 watts
instead of 200 Watts !
The unit has a contact control circuit: when S>1.4 the unit will give the message ‘improve position of
the applicator’. This means that S can never reach a value higher than 1.4.
In other words, if the set power = 165 Wpeak the unit is able to deliver this power within the range
between good and bad contact.

5. Yearly checkup and safety test
5.1 Safety inspection.
To prevent the Performa+ from having hidden defects acquired during its lifecycle it is strongly
recommended to have the device checked regularly for its proper functioning by qualified personnel.
In some countries this is mandatory or your insurer may be requiring it. A record of these inspections
should be filed so the measurements can be compared with earlier values to alert for a possible
potentially dangerous tendency. For this purpose you can e.g. make copies of these pages.
5.2 Inspection interval.
The design of the device is based on a yearly inspection. If the legislation of your country or your
insurer calls for a shorter period you should adhere to the latter.
5.3 Inspection results.
The inspection is passed when all items as presented on the standard document on the next page are
passed. In the unlikely event the device fails the deviation should be repaired before using it. Repairs
are only to be made by technicians authorised by Uniphy bv. Contact your supplier on this matter.

6.3 Mains power and mains transformer.
The Performa+ has to be connected to the mains via the fixed power cord, with a non-fused earth
contact.
Always check whether the mains power corresponds to the mains input as indicated on the type
shield (besides the mains cable).
Note: the mains cable always has to be replaced with the same type !
The mains transformer (T001) generates 3 different output voltages :
- 45 VAC non-fused
- 26 VAC with fuse 100 mA L
- 160 VAC with fuse 100 mA L
The transformer has built-in automatic thermal fuse. It will cut-off the primary winding when the
temperature exceeds 135°C.
The transformer can be fed either with an incoming voltage of 230 VAC (+/- 15%) or with 115VAC
Page 11
(+/- 15%).
6.4 Power supply (A100).
The PCB A 100 is a switched power supply, generating 3 different output voltages:
+ 15 VDC
+ 5 VDC
- 15 VDC
The power supply PCB has a 2 AL fuse.
6.5 Transistor power generator.
This module can be subdivided into three main sections. The first one includes the quartz stable
generator, amplification and filtration of the 27,12 MHz high-frequency power.
The second includes the measurement and control circuits that enable an exact adjustment to the
output power. The third section contains the control circuit of the operating voltage of the amplifier.
Any repair work of this sub-assembly shall only be performed by the manufacturer. However,
there are some reference voltages that can be checked to determine the exact location of a defective
part.
Please refer to chapter x for more details.
6.5.1 The quartz stable generator.
The oscillator circuit is composed round C82 (Quartz), V08, L10 and V09.
The base voltage of V08 must be about 3,6 VDC.
By means of L10, the amplitude of the signal is tuned to a voltage of about 10 Vpp to 13 Vpp.
This signal must be measured on the collector of transistor V09 (= cooling surface).
If necessary, the amplitude can be changed by adjusting the coil L10 (first take out the protective
cover).
6.5.2 The level control circuit.
The intensity level control circuit is composed around V10, L12 and V11.
The input voltage at the basis of V10 has a range from 0 to 12 V. With a voltage below +2V the level
control delivers no output power. The level control is set to full power with a voltage of about 12V to
14V.
6.5.3 The amplification circuits.
This circuit includes R252, C235,L213, V212, C238, C239, L216, V213, L219, L220, C263, C264,
L221, L222, L226, C273, C274, C275.
The main amplifier is the V13: BLW 96C that is integrated as a class C amplifier.
