Dynatronics Solaris 700 Series
Dynatronics · Model Solaris 700 Series
Electrotherapy Solaris Plus delivers up to 6 Stim waveforms including: IFC, Premod, Biphasic, Russian, High Volt, Microcurrent, and Fixed Frequency IFC/Premod. Solaris Plus has the power to deliver up to 5 channels of Stim, and a complete line of optional accessories - all at the same time. Soundheads As accessories for the Solaris Plus, Ultrasound soundheads are available in three sizes, 2 cm2, 5 cm2, and 10 cm2. One soundhead of your choice is included with the purchase of a Solaris Plus. 3-Frequency Ultrasound With the Solaris Plus you can select three different frequencies without changing the soundhead. The 2 cm2, 5 cm2, and 10 cm2 soundheads each operate at 1, 2, and 3 MHz, providing the greatest flexibility in depth of treatment. SmartHead Technology The Solaris Plus features SmartHead technology, having all calibration information stored within the soundhead. Each soundhead plugged into the device will be uniquely recognized and ready to use. Target & Target Sweep Solaris Plus’ unique TARGET feature produces a more effective interferential treatment by allowing the treatment to be focused precisely where it is needed. Simply glide your finger across the TARGET touch pad to move the center of interference to the site of your patient’s pain. Optional Battery The Solaris Plus may be operated with power supplied by an external 12-volt battery (not included), offering greater flexibility and portability in treatment sites. Solaris Plus Cart The Solaris Plus Cart provides ample storage space with three large drawers. Constructed with a low center of gravity to prevent tipping, the Solaris Plus Cart is sturdy and aesthetically pleasing.
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.

Error Codes
Extracted directly from this unit's own service manual.
ERROR 13The Error 13 message can occur if you plug in a soundhead while the device is on.
If you get this error, make sure the soundhead is firmly plugged in, then turn the device off and on again. Allow 5-10 seconds between turning the device OFF and turning it back ON. The message should be cleared.
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 modality / channel
- Fit a fresh applicator / handpiece / electrodes for that modality.
- Substitute a known-good lead / cable.
- Test therapeutic-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: Patient feels nothing / open-circuit on an e-stim channel
- Fit fresh self-adhesive electrodes on well-prepped skin.
- Swap the lead wires.
- Confirm the current ramps and there is no open-electrode alarm.
- Test the channel into a resistive load per the manual.
- Refer the output stage if a good lead set still gives nothing.
Symptom: Unresponsive or erratic touchscreen / parameters will not set
- Power-cycle the unit.
- Recalibrate / re-seat the touchscreen if the touch is offset.
- Check the mains fuse and power supply.
- Confirm the cooling fan runs and the vents are clear.
- Replace the touchscreen or power supply as isolated.
