First operation of the Zapper

This blog post is intended to make it easier for you to operate the Zapper for the first time. Step by step, we will guide you from switching on the device to selecting a programme directly to successful starting and zapping.

Starting the Zapper

Starting the device consists of two steps, which we document here

Activating the unit

There is a slide switch on the top edge of the zapper:

0=the unit is switched off
1=the unit is switched on

Therefore, slide the switch from position 0 to position 1, this will activate the unit.

This function makes the unit wait for another action from you, the display is not yet activated.

You can now:

• Charge the unit using the mains adapter supplied
• Activate the unit for zapper operation

Activate the display

Then press the Enter key to activate the display, after which the display switches on and the self-test begins.

Self-test of the zapper

Depending on the brand of the unit (Super-Ravo-Zapper, Biozapper, Biotrohn), different status messages or welcome messages appear during the self-test of the zapper.

Free memory locations in the unit

After the welcome message, the display of the free memory locations of the main memory is automatically shown.

The internal data memory of the unit contains 744 data records, then this memory is exhausted and can be exchanged or changed with programmes from the software, for example.

You do not need this information if you only want to work with the internal programmes of the unit.

However, if you also want to change the unit itself by means of software, then a short explanation:

Each frequency programme consists of one or more frequencies (e.g. 450 Hz, 380 Hz 935,300 Hzr etc, also of frequency bands (e.g. 450 Hz - 452 Hz.)
These frequencies, no matter whether fixed or variable, occupy 1 data record in the unit.

The name of the frequency programme occupies 2 memory locations in the unit.

This excursion into the storage of programmes is not intended to confuse you at this point, you should only know how to recognise how many memory locations are still available when you start.

Selection of the desired frequency programme

Display of the last selected programme

 After the welcome message and the status message have been completed, the unit immediately jumps to the last selected programme and you will see the following information on the display:

• Top left: programme number and number of frequency programmes in the memory
  In this example 8/100. This means you have just selected programme no. 8 of a total of 100 frequency programmes
• Top right: The duration of the selected programme
  1:03:42, so in our example the programme lasts 1 hour, 3 minutes and 42 seconds
• Below: Programme name

 
So in the concrete case:

You have selected the programme "ALS", this has a duration of 1 hour 3 minutes and 42 seconds and is located on programme memory no. 8.

Selecting the correct programme

 You can now use the "up" and "down" keys to select between the programmes in the main memory.

• Memory location
• Duration of the programme
• Programme name

 
Our tip:
If you have pressed the "up" and "down" key, the search run is faster. This allows you to switch between programmes quickly and easily.

Starting the frequency programme

Press the "enter" key and take the electodes in your hands. 

Start sequence

 In this step, the unit shows you the number of frequencies behind it.

In this case, the unit starts at the 1st frequency of 3 frequencies.

The frequencies behind can be single frequencies or frequency spectra.

This is for your information only, as the exact programme with all parameters is stored.

Fade In Phase:

In the Fade In Phase, the voltage slowly starts to rise from 0 % (approx. 5V) to the desired programmed value.
Once again, 30 % of the total power (15V) is stored in the factory setting.

This value can be increased or decreased at any time with the (up) and (down) keys during the running programme.

"U" shows the current value of the output voltage, the maximum is 15 V.

Automatic termination of the programme

The stored programme will now run automatically without any knowledge of frequency therapy.
All parameters are stored. When the programme is finished, the zapper starts to beep and returns to the initial position.
