2.2 Function/design
Function
The E-MAG Active is an orthotic joint with stance phase control which offers the user a free swing phase and locks
the orthotic joint for the stance phase prior to heel strike.
The E-MAG Active features an electronic lock that is released during toe-off, allowing the user to swing the para
lysed leg in a physiological manner. Prior to heel strike, the orthotic joint locks in the extended position so the user
can step down safely.
The E-MAG Active has an additional locking function (PreLock) that is activated at 15° flexion. This secures the
patient even before the actual swing phase ends. The orthotic joint is then fully locked when it reaches the exten
sion stop.
Design
The bushing (radial bearing) and axial washer (axial bearing) are made of maintenance-free plastic. The lock
wedge is electronically controlled via an electromagnet. The electronic control unit consists of a gyroscope and 2D
acceleration sensors to record the gait phase. It measures the position while the user is walking and unlocks the
orthotic joint prior to toe-off and then locks it again in the extended position prior to heel strike.
The open insertion zones serve to attach the lamination bars. The electronic components are designed to be
replaced by a technician. The battery can be removed from the battery receptacle on the orthosis and charged in
the charger. The charger has two ports so two batteries can be charged simultaneously.

5 Preparing the product for use
NOTICE
Damage to the control electronics
Use the dummies included in the scope of delivery for all process steps until the orthosis is completed. Only
replace the dummies with the electronic components directly before the fitting or upon completion of fabrication.
The upper joint section of the orthotic joint has threaded blind holes to attach the lamination bars. To avoid dam
aging the control electronics in the upper joint section of the orthotic joint, only use the supplied M5x10 screws.
INFORMATION
We recommend fabricating an interim orthosis prior to the definitive orthosis. This makes it possible to prevent
alignment errors and incorrect positioning of the E-MAG Active orthotic joint and to check that the orthotic joint is
opened and closed reliably.
INFORMATION
Parallel alignment of the orthotic joints
Use the 743R6 alignment fixture to position the orthotic joints on the plaster positive.
Using the lamination dummy
Positioning of the electronic components
The electronic components are positioned laterally on the thigh. This prevents a collision with the contralateral side
in bilateral fittings. The optimal position for the electronics is proximal and in the vertical course of the load line. If
the electronics and battery are located on one side of the thigh, the cable between the electronics and battery is
not subjected to unnecessary strain. Optional: The battery can also be positioned on the medial side of the thigh.

28 Fully demould the orthosis from the model and remove
all dummies and the plasticine.
Sand down the edges of the orthosis and the casing.
Insert the dummy (item1) for the electronics into the
corresponding receptacle (item2). Position the recept
acle in the casing from the outside.
Repeat the steps for the battery receptacle.
29 Secure the receptacles and dummies with PVC adhes
ive tape from the outside.
Pull the adhesive tape tight to prevent the 617H46
bonding agent from penetrating during gluing.
Rotate the casing so the receptacles are visible from
the inside.
Glue the receptacle to the casing. To do so, carefully
distribute the bonding agent around the receptacles.
Allow the adhesive to cure for 12hours.
30 Mount the cables for the orthotic joint and the electronic
components (see page19).
Finishing the orthosis
1) Clean the threads of the screw connections using a degreasing cleaner.
2) Insert the bars into the insertion zone.

5.2 Installing the electrical components
NOTICE
Risk of cable damage
Shortening, extending and frequent bending can destroy the cables between the joint and electronics, and
between the battery and electronics. If possible, do not bend or crease the electronics cables until they are ready
to be fastened into their final positions.
NOTICE
Risk of short circuit
Do not insert the battery until the entire system has been assembled.
NOTICE
Risk of damage to electronic components
Dust, moisture and heat may destroy the electronics.
►Always seal the electronics on the E-MAG orthotic joint before sanding or performing other work on the
orthosis.
►Loosen bonded components mechanically. Do not use a hot air gun.
INFORMATION
The E-MAG orthotic joint is equipped with polarity protection: If the polarity is incorrect, the electronics are turned
off to prevent a short circuit. If the E-MAG orthotic joint does not indicate operational readiness for no apparent
reason after the cables are connected, please check the polarity.
INFORMATION
Please ensure that the full cable cross-section is maintained after shortening.
INFORMATION
The casing and the electronics cable should be removed when working on the orthosis. In order to do so, discon
nect the cable directly on the E-MAG orthotic joint.
31 NOTICE:
The cable between the orthotic joint and electron
ics may not be shortened or extended.
INFORMATION: If there is excess cable length, lay
the cable in flat loops and secure it in the casing
with double-sided adhesive tape.
To install the electrical components, remove the dum
mies for the electronics and battery from the recept
acles.
Connect the electronics cables to the electronics shell.

32 Connect the cable clips to the electronics shell.
INFORMATION: Ensure that the cable clips engage
firmly.
33 INFORMATION: Leave 5cm additional cable length
to allow for installation of the locking unit. Ensure
the correct polarity is maintained after shortening:
plus cable (red) to plus connection (+ symbol on
locking unit), minus cable (grey) to minus (no sym
bol).
Optionally, you may shorten the battery cable in the
battery plug section. Ensure that the cable cross-sec
tion is maintained.
34 Connect the battery plug to the locking unit.
35 Thread the battery cable through the receptacle.
