1.2

GENERAL

The Curapuls 670 is a two channel microprocessor-controlled unit for pulsed shortwave
therapy, applied by means of one or two inductive electrodes (Circuplode).
In the Curapuls 670, pulse duration, pulse frequency, power and treatment duration are
adjustable. When two electrodes are used, the selected pulse frequency and treatment
duration apply to both electrodes, while the other parameters can be set separately for
each electrode.
Simple and safe operation
The various parameters are selected by means of push buttons, and are set using one
central control knob. Each parameter is shown on a LCD display, giving a good
overview of the selected parameters. This is made possible by the application of
microprocessor technology. The microprocessor controls and monitors all functions
during operation. Directly after switching on, the microprocessor automatically tests the
electronics of the Curapuls 670 for safety and correct functioning.
The Curapuls 670 menu can be set in five languages, GB, NL, D, F, E. Changing
languages can be done by pressing the cursor left key for approx. 2 sec. in the main
menu. Changing the language (and other default settings) is done by selecting the
option with the cursor UP or DOWN keys and rotating the central control.
Pre programmed treatment protocols are available. The treatment protocols are divided
in seven sub-selections. In the sub-selection a treatment can be chosen from a list of
protocols.

Optimum energy transfer

Considerable attention has been paid to the way in which the high-frequency energy is
transferred to the tissue. Continuous microprocessor-controlled fine tuning ensures
optimum adaptation to the tissue characteristics. Special high-output inductive
electrodes have been developed for use with the Curapuls 670. These are of the
Circuplode type, and are available in small, large and elliptic treatment areas. They
are provided with screening for the electrical field so that only a magnetic field* is
created.
* a pure angular electric/electromagnetic field
The type of electrode (large/small/elliptic) connected to each channel is recognized
automatically, eliminating the chance of incorrect settings. If the load on the electrode
is insufficient, no power will be supplied. This is indicated by a flashing LED on the
electrode. This form of power transfer indication prevents inefficient treatment, thus
contributing to optimum treatment results.
If treatment on a small part of the body (e.g. the wrist, ankle) is to be done, exact
placement of the Circuplode is of greatest importance for beneficial treatment. In some
cases treatment with a standard Circuplode will not be possible making it necessary to
connect a small Circuplode.
The Curapuls 670 has been designed and manufactured to ensure the highest level of
safety; the unit fully complies with the IEC 601 series safety standards.

Description of the application module:

The functions of the Curapuls 670 are controlled by the microprocessor (P). The P
gathers information about connected electrodes (which type, which channel) and about
the set parameters (pulse duration, pulse frequency, treatment time, intensity etc.). The
software used for these functions is stored in EPROM. Timer circuits are used for
generating treatment parameters and for measuring the output signals. Safety circuits
are applied for checking the safe operation of the Curapuls 670, also is checked that
the output does not exceed maximum values. All signals are generated by the P and
converted by a DA converter to analogue signals. These signals are measured and
converted by a AD converter. This signal is fed back to the P for comparison with the
set parameters and the output is corrected if necessary. The Voltage Controlled
Oscillator (VCO) is also checked for the output frequency which is 27.12 MHz (0.6%).
The driver and output stages generate the output as specified for the Curapuls 670.

Service Information

Electrode arm, modified adjustment

The electrode arm 3444033 doesnt function correctly with respect to the description given in the
accompanying documentation. In the description it is mentioned that the knob(s) neednt be
loosened when adjusting the arm.
To modify the function of the arm the three joints with a knob must be altered.
Remove the arm from the equipment (for the Curapuls 670): do not remove both arms at the
same time; otherwise it might not be possible to remount the arms)
NOTE: place the arm on a flat surface with the knobs up to prevent disintegration of the joint
and use one hand to keep the joint exactly in place while modifying the joint
For shoulder and elbow joint:
1. rotate the knob counter-clockwise and remove the knob
2. remove the spiderspring and the M10 ring
3. lift the metal plate with the oblong shaped hole with a magnetic tool
4. place an extra metal plate (diameter 50mm) from the service set (if in step 9. The
outer edge of the knob makes contact with the edge of the arm, an extra plate can
be added)
5. remount the plate with the oblong shaped hole: it must lock on the axis of the joint
6. add the M10 ring from the service set and center it with respect to the axis
7. place the new knob (with the high ridge) from the service set
8. rotate the knob clockwise until the knob locks
9. check the functioning of the joint; when the knob is rotated counter-clockwise (for
half a circle) the joint can be easily adjusted; when the knob is rotated clockwise the
joint is locked
For the wrist joint
1. rotate the knob counter-clockwise and remove the knob
2. place the new knob (with the low ridge) from the service set
3. rotate the knob clockwise until the friction of the joint is enough to support the weight
of an applicator
Remount the arm
Replace the manual 0169.285-41 with the new manual 0169.285-42.
When needed, the friction of the cabinet hinge can be adjusted by rotating the bolt(s) of the
hinge. The bolts can be accessed by removing the plastic covers.

CN2, CN3, CN8 and CN11. Remove the 12 mounting screws. Remove the
main PC Board from the housing. Remove the 10 spacers (M4 x 80mm) from the
mounting chassis inside the housing of the unit.

Installation:

Mount 10 new spacers (M4 x 33mm) in the mounting chassis inside the unit.
Remove the protective plate at the component side of the main PC Board, also
remove the mounting plate (2 screws M4 x 50 and 3 screws M4 x 8mm) which is
mounted on the heatsink of the main PC Board. Mount the heatsink/main PC
Board assembly to the mounting chassis inside the unit with 10 screws left over
from the removal of the main PC Board. Mount the heatsink to the mounting
chassis with 2 large screws (M4 x 40). Installation of the main PC Board is in
reverse order of the removal procedure.

Caution:

Check that all fuses have the correct value (see par. 1.3.1 of the service manual).

Note:

Check when mounting the main PC Board for the right version software (version
4, part number 0403.704 or above) of EPROM IC1, see appendix B, fig. 5
(service manual).

Note:

When inserting the EPROM with the application software into the socket, the
PC Board must be supported to ensure that no components will be damaged by
mechanical force.

Note:

Check that jumper ST1 is removed.

Service Information
Curapuls 670, Preventive spraying of the main PC Board
To prevent high voltage break-down due to slowly increasing the mains voltage from 220VAC ->
230VAC last years, it is recommended to put an insulation lacquer on the rear (solder) side of the main
PC Board. The small clearance between a few high voltage (approx. 400V with respect to ground)
solder pads an the ground plane could cause a spark jump.
An anti-corona lacquer is available
to prevent this problem.
The marked area in the drawing
has to be treated with this lacquer.

Service Information
Curapuls 670, Heat sink mounting.
This service information sheet describes how to improve the thermal contact of the main PC Board
heatsink to the chassis of the Curapuls 670.
The new type main PC Board (see also service information sheet SI 670 - 02) is equipped with an
heatsink which is directly mounted to the chassis of the unit.
The mounting of the main PC Board has been changed, the mounting hole in the heatsink at position
A is drilled through the heatsink.
Previous versions of the main PC Board are equipped with an mounting hole with internal M4 thread.
To improve the thermal contact the following modification is suggested:
- When replacing a (defective) main PC Board, the replacement Board must be mounted by
means of an longer screw, item A (M4 x 50 mm), to the chassis of the unit (see figure 1
at the other side of this service information sheet).
- Check the chassis before mounting the PC Board that a hole is drilled into the chassis at
position A, see figure 1.
- If there is no hole in the chassis at position A, drill a hole with a diameter of 4.5 mm. into
the chassis. (use the PC Board heatsink as a reference).
Caution:

Make sure that no metal particles, caused by the drilling, will fall into the PC
Board or inside the housing. This could cause a short circuit.

- Mount the main PC Board to the chassis. Mount the heatsink firmly to the chassis with the
M4 x 50 mm. screw at position A.

The modification can also be made to an installed main PC Board to improve the thermal contact.
- Remove the mounting screw A (M4 x 10 mm.) and drill a hole through the heatsink and
the chassis.
- Mount the heatsink firmly to the chassis with the M4 x 50 mm. screw at position A.
