OPERATION
Turn on the device with the switch key, adjust intensity and timer with the knobs on
the control panel.
NOTICES FOR TRANSPORT AND STORAGE -
During the transport it’s necessary to avoid shocks on the packaging containing the IR
lamps.
In case of damaged packaging it’s necessary to check the functioning of the timer and
the integrity of the IR bulbs.
During operation, transport and storage it’s necessary to respect the following values:
OPERATION CONDITIONS - temperature : 0°C-30°C
- relative humidity : 10-80%
- atmospheric pressure : 500-1060 hPa
TRANSPORT CONDITIONS - temperature : -20°C-60°C
- relative humidity : 10 80%
- atmospheric pressure : 500-1060 hPa
STORAGE CONDITIONS - temperature : -20°C-60°C
- relative humidity : 10 80%
- atmospheric pressure : 500-1060 hPa
MEANING OF THE LABELLING SYMBOLS
= Non ionizing radiations
= Warning, read the enclosed documents
0051 = CE conformity mark = Device type B (Standard EN 60601-1)
SERIAL NUMBER CODIFICATION –The five figures (XXYYY) which compose the serial
number of the device have the following mean:
- The first two figures represent the year of production
- The following three figures represent the serial number
DIRECTIONS FOR USE AND NOTICES
The times and frequency of application, the distance from the device and the global
duration of the treatment must be determined by the doctor and may change from
person to person.
The distance of application must be set according to a normal endurance of the
produced heat by the person subjected to the treatment. Anyway the minimum
application distance is 50 cm.
During the exposition don't wear clothes that could reduce the efficiency of the
treatment and could create the danger of self-burning.
After the treatment don't expose the person to air currents or changes of
temperature.
Orientatively you can consider the following directions for use:
Infrared rays: they used for the treatment arthritis, lumbago, rheumatisms, and sprain.

Applications of 10/15 minutes per day at a minimum distance of 50 cm. Use the
protective goggles.
Dangerousness connected to the utilization of these burners is mainly due to:
HEAT ABSORPTION BY THE EYE
Extremely high irradiation power, in every wavelength, causes damages to the human
eye due to the absorption of the developed heat; with time (years or some decades), it
can make muddy the optical lens.
In order to avoid these damages and according to the total emitted energy by the
burner and to the percentage of short waves, the utilizer of these instruments has to
shield the burners or to employ a personal protection for the eyes (IR protection filter
according to DIN EN 171)
HEAT DEVELOPEMENT IN THE PRESENCE OF
INFLAMMABLES
The danger connected to IR employment can originate from its use in the presence of
inflammables or explosive
atmosphere.
BESIDES THESE PRECAUTIONS, WE RECOMMEND YOU TO READ CAREFULLY THE IR
SAFETY CARD ENCLOSED WITH THE DEVICE. EVERY UTILIZER OF THIS DEVICE MUST BE
INFORMED ABOUT THESE DIRECTIONS, WHICH MUST BE ALWAYS KEPT ATTACHED TO
THE DEVICE.
USE BY HANDICAP HOLDERS, AGED AND CHILDREN: It’s necessary the assistance by an
operator who knows the functioning and the dangers of the use of this device.
The device mustn’t be utilized by blind operators.
KEEP OUT THIS DEVICE FROM CHILDRENS’ REACH
BREAKDOWNS AND REPAIRS IMPLEMENTABLE BY NO-SPECIALIZED
PERSONS.
For safety reasons for every maintenance operation it’s necessary to disconnect the
cable plug to the network socket.
1° CASE: After inserting the cable plug into the network socket, the green circle warning
light (Fig.2 n.3) does not turn on.
Repair: turn in clock-wise sense both timers and then check if the IR emitters ignite.
In case of ignition, call a specialized reparator for the green warning light replacement.
In case of no ignition, check the wall socket; if it’s functioning check the efficiency of
the two fuses placed into the socket block back side of the lamp. If they are
interrupted, replace them with new fuses proceeding as following described. If the
fuses are correctly operating, call a specialized technician;
2° CASE: Inserting the cable plug into the network socket, the green warning light turns
on, but, after having turned both timers and pressed the ON/OFF switches, there isn’t
the ignition:

7
of all the three IR emitters: call a specialized technician.
one or two IR emitters: check if the correspondent switches are on the "ON" position
and their green light is ignited.
If so, before replacing the bulbs, verify that they are correctly screwed in their lamp
holder (for the control and replacement of the bulb proceed as following described).
MAINTENANCE - IR EMITTERS CLEANING
Frequency of operation: every three months or before, if you see an opacization of the
IR bulbs for dust deposits.
Dust deposits reduce a lot the IR irradiation intensity.
Procedure: be sure to have disconnected the cable plug from the current socket and
that the device is cold. Remove the closing bracket and extract the protective grid. With
a damp cloth clean IR bulbs. Place the grid again.
DON'T USE SOLVENTS PAINTED PARTS AND WHEELS CLEANING
Frequency of operation: every three months.
Procedure : clean the painted parts with a damp cloth or a cloth imbuted with alcohol.
Don’t use solvents.
Remove from the wheels eventual materials (dirtiness, hairs, etc..) embedded in the
pins.
CHECK OF THE INSIDE WIRING STATE
Frequence of operation: every 12 months BY SPECIALIZED REPAIRATORS.
