The Silver Pulser Model ZBB1 Manual
WELCOME TO SOTA
Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your Wellness Team.
The Silver Pulser is a consumer product designed to be used as part of a Wellness
Lifestyle. A commitment to healthy lifestyle choices is an important factor in the
journey to Wellness.
The SOTA Silver Pulser has two functions – Micropulsing and making Ionic~Colloidal
Silver. Micropulsing offers gentle microcurrents that work with the body’s natural
electricity for more energy, general health and well-being. Ionic~Colloidal Silver is one
of nature’s gifts and can be made easily and inexpensively at home.
The Silver Pulser is designed to be used independently, but can also be used together
with any of the SOTA Products.
With proper care, your Silver Pulser should provide you many years of trouble-free
use.
Please understand that results will vary.

MICROPULSING CAUTIONS
1.Do not place the Micropulsing Probes over skin lesions, abrasions, new scars, cuts,
eruptions or sunburn.
2.Caution is advised if using potentially harmful substances such as recreational and
prescription drugs, as it is not known if microcurrents will interact or if individual
reactions may occur.

The Silver Pulser Model ZBB1 Manual
3.Caution is required in the following situations as a burn may occur, which could
scar:
a. Do not apply the bare metal pins to the skin.
b. Allowing the Cotton Sleeves to dry out while Micropulsing.
c. Sleeping while Micropulsing, as the Cotton Sleeves may dry out.
IONIC~COLLOIDAL SILVER CAUTIONS
We recommend taking occasional breaks from consuming Ionic~Colloidal Silver for
the following reason:
A handful of people have experienced argyria after drinking large amounts of
Ionic~Colloidal Silver daily, over a long period of time. Argyria is a bluish tinge of
the skin. This occurs when excess silver is eliminated through the skin and exposed
to light. Darkening of the moons of the nger nails is usually an early sign.
The risk of argyria is considered greater for those who are ingesting incorrectly made
Ionic~Colloidal Silver and to a lesser degree, those who are decient in selenium or
vitamin E.
When making and drinking Ionic~Colloidal Silver as currently recommended by
SOTA, the risk of argyria is extremely rare.
GENERAL CAUTION
While this technology is generally considered safe, there exists potential for rare
individual reactions that cannot reasonably be foreseen. Therefore, your use of the
SOTA Products constitutes your agreement that you are responsible for your decision
to use the technology and that you hold SOTA harmless for any injuries or damage
believed to arise from using the SOTA Products.

TURNING THE UNIT ON
12.Turn the unit ON by rotating the ON/OFF knob clockwise. Turn the switch slowly
until you feel the current. If you do not feel the current, see Notes on page 8.
When the Micropulsing Cord is plugged into the unit, the ashing GREEN and
RED lights will not be on. This helps conserve the battery.
13. When nished, turn the unit OFF by rotating the ON/OFF knob counter clockwise
until it clicks. Do not force the ON/OFF knob past its natural stopping point.
14. Clean the wrist and apply a healing lotion to avoid irritation.
Notes:
Suggestions for Feeling the Current: If the current is not felt with wet Cotton
Sleeves, prepare a mild salt solution to wet the sleeves. Add a few grains of salt to
the water in the 50 ml dropper bottle.
Drink enough water to keep the body well hydrated. Hydration can affect the ability
to feel the current.
Care of Micropulsing Cord: Discoloration of probes is normal. Buff occasionally to
remove stains to ensure good electrical contact.
Care of Cotton Sleeves: Wash or rinse sleeves occasionally. Periodically discard and
replace Cotton Sleeves.
Alternatives to Cotton Sleeves: The following items can be used in place of the
Cotton Sleeves:
a. Unbleached Paper Towel: Cut a small square of paper towel large enough to wrap
around the probe 2 or 3 times.
b. Cotton Flannel: Cut a small square of cotton annel and wrap around the probe.
Secure it in place with thread.
Testing the Micropulsing Function: Unplug the Micropulsing Cord with the unit
on. The GREEN and RED lights on the unit should ash alternately. If lights do not
ash, check battery. If lights still do not ash, contact your supplier or your closest
repair depot. See ‘Repairs’ on page 13.
Power Supply: When Micropulsing, as a safety feature, the unit can only be powered
by a 9-Volt battery.

HOW MICROPULSING SHOULD FEEL
1. The sensation is a gentle pulsing. While the microcurrents should be felt, it is not
necessary to turn the control up to an uncomfortable level.
2. With repeated use, the ability to feel the microcurrents may change. It may be
necessary to increase the intensity in order to feel the microcurrents.
3. Twitching of the ngers is normal at a higher intensity.
4. During the rst weeks of use, the skin may become irritated. Over time, irritation
usually decreases or disappears. Alternate wrists each session to minimize the
potential for irritation.
SENSITIVE SKIN
Some individuals may be particularly sensitive to microcurrents and the irritation may
continue. To minimize irritation:
1. Wash wrists thoroughly after each session and apply a healing gel or lotion such
as aloe vera, vitamin E or MSM cream.
2. Micropulse for shorter periods of time until the irritation disappears.
3. Wet the Cotton Sleeves with distilled water or Ionic~Colloidal Silver. If unable to
feel the current, try a commercial saline solution for the eyes. This is gentler than
adding salt to the water.
4. A conductive gel or aloe vera gel added to the wet sleeves may help to reduce
irritation.
5. Another option is to wrap a small square of paper towel around the probes instead
of using Cotton Sleeves. Keep the paper well moistened. A small square of paper
towel may last for several applications. If available, use unbleached paper towel.
6. Set the intensity dial to a comfortable level.
TYPICAL USE
Alternate wrists daily.
Length of Session: Build up time gradually. It is best to start slowly. Start with 10 to
20 minutes a day. Increase gradually to a minimum of 2 hours each day.
Length of Use: The SOTA Products User Guide available at

© 1996-2021 SOTA Instruments Inc. Page 10 of 14|www.sota.com
The Silver Pulser Model ZBB1 Manual
www.sota.com/spug offers suggestions for Focused, Basic and Ongoing Wellness
Plans.
General Guideline: Use daily for a minimum of 8 to 12 weeks. Once completed,
setting a schedule for ongoing use is benecial.
Drink Plenty of Water: It’s important to drink enough water when using the unit.
Drinking ozonated water is especially helpful.
Stop Gradually: Reduce the amount of time each day for the last week of use. If
using more than one SOTA unit, it is suggested to stop only one unit at a time.
HOW TO USE THE IONIC~COLLOIDAL SILVER FUNCTION
HOW TO ASSEMBLE THE SILVER WIRE HOLDER OPTION
1.The Silver Wires t into the two small holes in the Silver
Wire Holder as in the picture.
2.To insert the Silver Wires, move the spring clip away from
the hole.
3.Push the wire through the hole. Most of the wire should
be below the holder. Release the spring clip to hold the
Silver Wire snuggly in place. It may be easier to insert
from the underside of the holder.
4.Repeat Step 2 for the second Silver Wire.
5.Plug the Silver Wire Holder into the Silver Pulser.
HOW TO MAKE IONIC~COLLOIDAL SILVER
1.Insert Silver Wire Cord or Silver Wire Holder into the unit.
2.Heat 2 cups (500 ml) of distilled water to the boiling point—preferably in a non–
metal container. Do not use a glass measuring cup on the stove top as it may
explode.
3.Use a heat-resistant glass container to make Ionic~Colloidal Silver.
SILVER CORD OPTION
4.Place the Silver Wires in the glass container immersing at least 70% of the Silver
Wires into the water. Keep them at least 25 mm or 1 inch from the bottom of the

© 1996-2021 SOTA Instruments Inc. Page 11 of 14|www.sota.com
The Silver Pulser Model ZBB1 Manual
container and 1 inch between the
wires. See image 1 on page 11.
SILVER WIRE HOLDER OPTION
4.Place the Silver Wire Holder on the
glass container immersing at least
70% of the Silver Wires into the water.
Keep them at least 25 mm or 1 inch
from the bottom of the container. See
image 2.
TURNING THE UNIT ON
5.Turn the unit ON by rotating the ON/
OFF knob clockwise until it clicks. It is not necessary to turn up the intensity.
The WHITE light should remain off or be dimly lit. If on, refer to Notes below.
The GREEN and RED lights will continue to
ash when making Ionic~Colloidal Silver.
6.Stir occasionally with a non-metal utensil.
Occasionally, wipe off the grey or black silver
oxide that builds up on the Silver Wires.
7.Two cups (16 ounces or 500 ml) for 15
minutes will produce a 3 to 5 ppm batch of
Ionic~Colloidal Silver, depending on the brand
of distilled water. The concentration of silver is
measured in parts per million or ppm.
8.When nished, wipe the Silver Wires with paper
towel to remove residue. Buff lightly when
needed to keep them free of sediment. Harsher
bufng will wear away the silver faster.
Notes:
Impurities: If the WHITE light comes on while making Ionic~Colloidal Silver, it
means there are too many impurities in the water. Try a different brand of distilled
water. The WHITE light also comes on if the two wires are touching.
Color: Ionic~Colloidal Silver remains colorless to about 5 or 6 ppm. At a slightly
higher ppm it will be a pale gold color. Do not drink if it is darker than pale gold or if
2

The Silver Pulser Model ZBB1 Manual
it is dark grey as this indicates a higher level of impurities or larger particle sizes.
Clarity: The silver electrolyte should be clear. Do not drink if it is cloudy.
Storage: Pour the Ionic~Colloidal Silver into a dark glass bottle—never metal—and
store in a dark, dry place. Over time, light will degrade Ionic~Colloidal Silver by
turning the electrolyte grey or black. Discard if this occurs.
When made and stored properly, Ionic~Colloidal Silver retains freshness for many
weeks. It is suggested, however, that you use as soon as possible. If settling occurs, it
is losing potency. Do not drink any sediment.
Do not freeze, refrigerate, or expose Ionic~Colloidal Silver to extremes of
temperatures as its potency may be affected.
Save on Batteries: When making Ionic~Colloidal Silver the unit can be powered by
an AC-DC wall adaptor. See ‘Optional Power Input’ on page 12.
Switch Silver Wire Positions - Silver Wire Holder Option: The silver ions only
come off the wire in the positive (+) or anode terminal into the water. To equalize the
wearing of the Silver Wires, periodically exchange the position of the wires. If left in
the same position, only one Silver Wire will gradually wear away.
Replacing the Silver Wires: The Silver Wires are of the highest grade .9999 or 99.99%
or 4 Nine pure ne silver. When the SOTA pure Silver Wires wear too thin, do not
replace with sterling silver, as it contains nickel, which can be toxic.
TYPICAL USE
Quantity: There is no denite amount to drink. When consumed on a regular basis—
daily or several times a week—it is best to drink no more than 1 to 2 ounces (30 to 60
ml) at a time.
Larger amounts of Ionic~Colloidal Silver—1 cup or more—can be consumed for
short periods of time, for example, a few weeks. It is better to take smaller amounts
throughout the day rather than all at once.
Length of Use: The SOTA Products User Guide available at
www.sota.com/spug offers suggestions for Focused, Basic and Ongoing Wellness
Plans.
General Guideline: 1 to 2 ounces (30 to 60 ml) or more daily for 2 or 3 months.
Ionic~Colloidal Silver can be used as needed. The initial program can be repeated at

© 1996-2021 SOTA Instruments Inc. Page 13 of 14|www.sota.com
The Silver Pulser Model ZBB1 Manual
any time. If using for an extended period, it is wise to take breaks.
Strength: Laboratory testing indicates Ionic~Colloidal Silver is effective as low as 2
ppm. When ingesting on a regular basis, it is suggested to limit the strength to less
than 10 ppm.
ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
POWER REQUIREMENTS
Use a 9–Volt Alkaline battery for proper operation.
OPTIONAL POWER INPUT
Both functions of the Silver Pulser can also be operated using NiMH rechargeable
batteries. When purchasing rechargeable batteries, it is suggested to take the unit
with you to ensure the batteries will t the enclosure.
To use a wall adaptor for making Ionic~Colloidal Silver the output should be from
6 to 12 Volts DC with a Tip or Center Positive pin and a minimum of 500 mA
(milliamperes) of current. The wall adaptor that comes with other SOTA units can be
used for making Ionic~Colloidal Silver.
Caution: Exceeding the voltage rating or reverse connection may result in injury
or unit failure. This will void the warranty.
To operate the Ionic~Colloidal Silver Function from a 12 Volt DC source, such as an
automobile battery or an appropriate Solar Panel, purchase a Universal Power Cord
with Tip or Center Positive.
OUTPUT SPECIFICATIONS
The output voltage is a nominal 27 Volts.
Micropulsing Application: Frequency through probes is ~3.92 Hz or ½ of the Earth
Schumann frequency of 7.83 Hz, (+/- 1 Hz) with a Bi-Phasic Square Wave @ 27 Volts
(+/- 1 Volt) peak per cycle.
Maximum current through the probes is ~13 milliamperes into 1,000 ohms, ~23
milliamperes into a short circuit at 27 Volts peak per cycle.
Ionic~Colloidal Silver Application: The maximum current through the Silver Wires
is 40 milliamperes (+/- 0.5 mA) at 27 VDC compliance voltage when the Silver Wires
are touched together to short the circuit.
