Terminology in ICES-PEMF: Hz versus
pps
Throughout this document you will see the term “pps” (pulses per second) to describe how many
ICES pulses are generated per second, instead of the more common unit “Hz” (Hertz).
You might ask, “is pps the same as Hz (Hertz)?”. Well, yes and no. I use the term pps because I
believe it is more technically precise than Hz when describing trapezoidal pulses as used in low
frequency PEMF. For you as a user of PEMF technology it is fine to use the terms pps and Hz
interchangeably. But as a scientist, I believe I have the responsibility of adhering to more precise
technical terminology. The B5 is a scientific instrument, so I feel obligated to describe its
performance with an appropriate level of scientific precision.
It is OK for you to think of pps as equivalent to Hz (i.e., pulses per second is equivalent to Hertz).
When you see pps, just think: “ frequency, Hz”
If you are comfortable with this, you can skip the rest of this page and move on to the rest of the
B5 manual, remembering that “pps” just means “Hz”.
If you are wondering why I am splitting hairs on this topic, here is my justification.

Power Input: Battery Packs
(some work well, others do
not)

•Battery portable power packs are sophisticated devices. If you choose to use
one you must take the time to learn how it works.
•Most battery packs are intended to recharge other devices, so they may not
behave well when powering a device like the B5 which draws variable amounts
of power as it changes modes and frequencies.
•Most battery power packs will shut off automatically if they detect very little or
no power drain. This can be a problem, because the B5 is ultra efficient, so the
battery power pack may decide that it is not connected to anything that is using
power, and may shut itself off.
Power Input: KNOW YOUR BATTERY

•Or, if you draw too much power, such as at POWER UP for the B5 when it draws the
most power, about 2 Amps, the battery pack may automatically shut down if it detects
an over-current error. This protects the battery from self destructing.
•In either case, you may have to reset the device. Every battery pack is different. You
need to know how to reset it. This battery pack can be reset by pressing the power
button indicated above.
•If you are using a battery pack and your B5 keeps shutting off, this is probably the
problem you are experiencing. You may need to try a different battery pack, or
change how you are using the battery pack you have.
•Also note: this battery pack has two outputs: 1 Amp and 2.1 Amp. Use the higher one.

•Use with battery power packs

•Any length USB –micro B

•Some cables are better than
others: some have unreliable
connections while others
seem to provide a good,
reliable connection.
Power Input: very short or long USB cable

•To power up the B5, first plug in to a
USB power port, or in to an external
battery pack.
•Then, switch the power ON
•The Power Switch is recessed into the
case to prevent accidental switching
•You will use the Power Switch often,
to control B5 protocol termination
and to reset the device.

•The B5 can only be adjusted within the first
15 seconds of power-up. After that, it
initiates the AUTO-RUN sequence.
•Once the B5 is running, you can not adjust
the settings. This is to prevent accidental
changes to settings if you are wearing the
device.
•If power is interrupted for any reason, the
B5 will restart the most recent protocol
using your most recent settings as soon as
power is reestablished. You do not need to
do anything but provide reliable power.
•To adjust the settings, you simply switch the
B5 OFF, wait one second, then switch it
back ON.
•This feature seems annoying at first, but it
prevents unintended changes to the
settings on your B5. Once you get used to
it, it will make sense.

NOTE: if the current limit is exceeded, the RED LED will light for ~ 1 second, then the B5 will resume function. It will continue at the high power level you have set, but next time, on POWER-UP, it will reset to a safe level, usually POWER = 9. Use lower power or frequency.

Connecting Coils and Arrays
ICES COIL OUTPUTS:
The B5 has four identical synchronized independently powered
and controlled I.C.E.S. output ports to drive 4 sets of original
I.C.E.S. coils, or 4 new 2x2 coil arrays, or any combination
Plug each coil in firmly, all the way
Use any or all four ports
COPYRIGHT © 2017 Micro-Pulse LLC

•Any Micro-Pulse coils or coil
arrays can be used
•Coils and arrays can be
used in any combination
and in any port
•We advise against using
audio cable splitters

•Think of it as a pyramid…
•You start at the bottom. Everyone starts here.
It is the least complex. Here, you just plug in
coils and USB power, turn the B5 ON, and use
it just as it is out-of-the-box, with no
adjustments. It will start automatically in ~ 15s
