EnRaf Nonius Curapuls 670
EnRaf Nonius · Model Curapuls 670
High adjustable peak power Over 25 clinical treatment suggestions 100 free programmable memory positions Special induction electrodes Opportunity to use two circuplodes simultaneously.
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 therapy output on a channel / modality
HighSymptoms: Ultrasound, electrotherapy, shortwave or laser channel delivers no or weak output, error on that channel.
Root cause: Applicator / electrode / handpiece fault, a cable fault, or an output-stage fault on that module.
Shortwave tuning / output fault (Curapuls)
MediumSymptoms: Output power low, tuning will not peak, no field at the electrodes / drum.
Root cause: Output valve / magnetron aging, a tuning-capacitor fault, or an electrode-cable fault.
Electrotherapy channel fault
MediumSymptoms: No stimulation on a channel, output will not ramp, patient feels nothing.
Root cause: Lead wires, dried electrodes, an open circuit, or an output-stage fault.
Touchscreen / control fault
MediumSymptoms: Unresponsive or erratic touchscreen, parameters will not set.
Root cause: Touchscreen or controller fault.
Power / cooling fault
LowSymptoms: Unit will not power on, or shuts down / alarms on temperature.
Root cause: Power supply / fuse, or a cooling-fan fault.

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 / low output on a channel
- Fit a fresh applicator / handpiece / electrodes for that modality.
- Substitute a known-good cable.
- Test the output into a tester / load.
- Try the modality on another unit if available.
- Escalate a confirmed output-stage / valve fault to the manufacturer.
Symptom: Touchscreen / 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.
