OUTWARD APPEARANCE
BTL-09 is built in a lacquered metal box. Signals, displays, controls and connectors for applicators or adapter plug are
located on the front panel. The mains connector, power switch, fuses and cooling ventilator are located on rear panel.
Serial number, model number, and date of production are also located on the rear panel.
PRINCIPLES OF SAFETY OPERATION
1. Read carefully user manual before initial switching-on.
2. Check the parameters of mains (230V / 50Hz).
3. Check proper installation of electrical mains.
4. Place the instrument on an even hard board to assure its proper cooling.
5. Do not use the unit if the cooling fan does not start working after the instrument is switched on.
6. NEVER use damaged applicators. Electrical current damage to persons may be caused.
7. Stop the therapy at once in case of any failure.
8. Check all parameters before you start the therapy.
9. Attending personnel should keep in 1 meter distance from the applicators in use. Relevant channel should be
switched off during necessary manipulation.
10. Watches, electronic devices and magnetic recording carriers can be damaged when exposed closely to
applicators and cables.

11. Do not connect anything else into connectors – there is a danger of injury by electric current and/or serious
damage to instrument.
12. Instrument must not be used in presence of pregnant women!
At connectors marked with this sign, current or voltage may exceed safe values. This is
an instrument with BF protection. The manufacturer assures BF protection grade BF only if the instrument is
used in accordance with this manual and with instructions for safety operation, and provided that only
applicators supplied by the manufacturer are attached.
INITIAL SWITCHING-ON
Place BTL-09 on a level, hard surface. Make sure that switch is in 0 position. Put connecting cable into output
connector on rear panel. Plug connecting cable to a mains socket 230V / 50Hz. Switch the instrument on by pressing
the power switch to position 1. The cooling fan starts to work right after initial switching-on.
⇒Do not use the instrument if the cooling fan does not work properly!
When BTL-09 is switched on, the channel A is set: led diode A (6) is on. Program No. 9 is set – "Program / Frequency"
display (4) shows "P-09". Therapy time for both channels is set at 30 min. -- Time display /8/ shows "30". Intensity
display (12) shows "..." If an applicator is connected, its code is displayed. After a few seconds, the code is replaced
by "00".
CONNECTING APPLICATORS
⇒Only original applicators supplied by manufacturer may be used with BTL -09!
The table below gives a list of applicators that can be used with the BTL-09 unit. Detailed technical descriptions are
given later in this manual.
Code
Description
1 Big solenoid, 50 cm diam.
2 Small solenoid, 30 cm diam.
3 Ring, 30 cm diam.
4 Disc, 24x24 cm
5 Double cover, 2x24x17 cm
6 Triple cover, 59x28 cm
7 Adapter plug
Plug an applicator into connectors (1) or to adapter plug attached to connector (1). Turn the socket clockwise about 30
degrees to ensure proper contact.
If the unit is on, applicators may be changed only in set-up mode (bar-graph shows no activity).
If no applicator is connected to the instrument, "Intensity„ displays of both channels show "--". If an applicator is
connected to a connector, relevant display will for about 3 seconds show its code. If adapter plug is connected
to the instrument but both applicators are not connected to it, "Error" light (15) turns red. After display of code,
"Intensity„ display shows intensity (in mT).
If adapter plug is used, intensity is set in %. Table of conversion of set intensity in % and mT intensity for a relevant
applicator is given later in this manual.
Using adapter plug allows you to combine any of these applicators: small solenoid, ring, disc and double cover. If you
use serial sequencing of triple cover and big solenoid, the driving current remains the same, but because of increased
induction of these applicators the impulses are getting slower. Therefore we recommend to increase intensity in about
30%, if a combination of any of the two applicators and any of the four applicators mentioned above is used. We
cannot recommend that serial sequencing of 2x triple cover, 2x big solenoid or the combination of the two be used.
SETTING CHANNELS
BTL-09 has two identical channel outputs. Select channel by push-button (5). Selected channel is indicated by control
lights (6). Therapy time and intensity is set separately for each channel.

PROGRAM SETTING
The programs are set in "Program" mode indicated by "P" letter displayed at "Program / Frequency„ display (4).
The instrument is automatically set up in this mode after initialization. You can also switch to this mode by pressing
"P/F" push-button (2). Press push-button (3) to set A program. Hold the push-button pressed to speed up adjustment.
FREQUENCY SETTING
Set the frequency in 'Frequency" mode indicated by letter "F" displayed at "Program / Frequency" display (4). Press
"P/F" push-button (2) to enter this mode. Press push-buttons (3) to set frequency in the range of 1.0 - 60 Hz. Keep
push-button pressed to change data continually. Up to 20 Hz you can set frequency in steps of 0.1 Hz, above 20 Hz
you can set frequency in steps of 1 Hz.
BTL-09 enables you to generate pulses with fixed and varying frequency. Average value of generated frequency is
seen on "Program/Frequency" display (4). If you wish to generate pulses of stable frequency, continue directly to set
therapy time. When pulses with variable frequency are needed, set magnitude of frequency change:
Press "Select" push-button (9) to get to frequency change mode (wave swing). The control light under Time / WS
display (8) indicates Hz. Press push-buttons (7) to set frequency on Time / WS display, in 0.1 Hz steps for up to 10
Hz, and 1 Hz steps from 10 Hz. During generation the frequency changes around average value of about set value
with the period of 90 sec. maximum. Generated frequency is moving between 1 - 60 Hz.
TIME SETTING
Therapy time is shown on Time / WS (8) display; the control light "min" below is on. If the control light "Hz" is on,
switch the instrument into the time setting mode by pressing "Select" (9) push-button. To set the time (in steps of
5 minutes), press push-buttons (7). Maximum therapy time is 90 minutes (with limits described in the section "Limits to
maximum intensity and therapy time"). During generation the time is counted-down in steps of 1 minute. The unit
makes a sound signal when the set time has elapsed.
INTENSITY SETTING
Intensity of magnetic field is shown on "Intensity„ display (12). Intensity displayed is the maximum intensity
at applicator’s surface. Intensity around individual applicator is described below. Maximum reachable intensity
depends on the type of applicator, program and therapy time set – see the "Limits to maximum intensity and therapy
time“ section. If solenoids are used, maximum intensity is around 12 mT, with other applicators the intensity is
at maximum of 20 mT.
Solenoids have lower maximum intensity values, yet the set intensity is spread nearly everywhere inside solenoid.
Other applicators have higher intensity limits but the intensity is concentrated solely around surface and further from
the surface (around 10 cm) it rapidly decreases.
Set the intensity by pressing push-buttons (10). Intensity is set in steps of 1mT (or 5% in case of use of adapter plug).
Keep the push-buttons pressed to decrease or increase value continuously. When intensity value is set (either in mT
or in %), signal light under "Intensity„ display (12) is on. You cannot set intensity if an applicator is not connected or if
both applicators are not connected to adapter plug.
Limits to maximum intensity and therapy time
Maximum intensity depends on type of applicator, program and therapy time. Some of the combinations do not allow
setting maximum intensity. If higher intensity is required, decrease the time of therapy or use a different program.
Intensity can be set during short or zero time period. If -- during the intensity increase -- an acoustic signal is heard
and yellow control signal at the top of bar-graph is alight (14), the therapy time will be limited, i.e. the therapy period
cannot be set to maximum possible value.
Magnetic induction if adapter plug is used
If you use adapter plug, up to 4 applicators can be connected to the unit. If you connect two applicators to one
channel, the limits described above have to be taken into account. Two applicators connected to one outlet have the
same program (frequency) set. Also the intensity of magnetic field (in %) is set for both applicators. However, intensity
in mT does not have to be, in case of use of two different applicators, identical!
