Key tips
- ·Most "no output" stim-unit complaints are cable-side - check electrode/lead continuity before assuming a unit fault.
- ·Frame and strap wear on mechanical rehab equipment is a real fall/injury risk - don't defer it as cosmetic.
Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
No or low output on a modality / channel
HighSymptoms: Ultrasound, e-stim, shortwave or laser channel delivers no or weak output, error on that channel, patient feels nothing.
Root cause: Applicator / electrode / handpiece fault, a lead / cable fault, dried electrodes, or an output-stage fault on that module.
Therapeutic-ultrasound applicator fault
MediumSymptoms: Low or no ultrasound output, applicator-contact / BNR error, no warmth on a water-bath test.
Root cause: Worn or cracked applicator crystal, or a cable fault.
Electrode / lead-wire wear
MediumSymptoms: Intermittent stim, open-circuit error, uneven sensation.
Root cause: Worn lead wires or exhausted / dried self-adhesive electrodes.
Touchscreen / control fault
MediumSymptoms: Unresponsive or erratic touchscreen, parameters will not set.
Root cause: Touchscreen or controller fault.
Power / battery / cooling fault
LowSymptoms: Will not power on, short battery life, or shuts down on temperature.
Root cause: Power supply / fuse, an aged battery, or a cooling-fan fault.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Frame and strap wear inspection
- ·Electrode lead continuity check
- ·Annual electrical safety test
Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: No or low output on a channel
- Fit a fresh applicator / handpiece / electrodes for that modality.
- Substitute a known-good lead / cable.
- Test ultrasound output into a water bath (visible cavitation / warmth) and run the applicator-contact / BNR self-test.
- Try the modality on another unit if available.
- Escalate a confirmed output-stage fault to the OEM.
Symptom: Touchscreen or power fault
- Power-cycle the unit.
- Check the mains fuse and power supply.
- Confirm the cooling fan runs and vents are clear.
- Recalibrate / re-seat the touchscreen if it is offset.
- Replace the touchscreen or power supply as isolated.
