6.2.1 Programme 1: DMC plus

Proportional control with 2 electrodes for patients with two strong electrode signals
Depending on the strength of the electrode signal, the opening and closing speed can be varied
proportionally between 8 mm/s and 200 mm/s. The gripping force can also be varied proportion­
ally between 10 N and 160 N.

6.2.2 Programme 2: AutoControl - LowInput
Proportional control with 2 electrodes or a switch.
The speed is increased proportionally depending on how fast the opening signal on the electrode
rises. When a switch is used, opening is at a constant speed. Closing is at the maximum speed of
200 mm/s. The gripping force increases proportionally to the time. The longer the signal on the
"CLOSE" electrode is applied, the higher the gripping force.

6.2.3 Programme 3: VarioControl
Proportional control with 1 electrode or 1 linear control element.
The terminal device is opened or closed depending on how fast and with what intensity the signal
rises or falls. By dropping the signal very slowly (very slow muscle relaxation), the terminal device
stops in the open position.
Control with one electrode: for patients with one strong electrode signal or co-contraction
•
Control with one linear control element: for patients with an electrode signal that is too
•
weak, or no electrode signal

6.2.4 Programme 4: VarioDual
Proportional control with 2 electrodes for patients with two strong electrode signals.
The terminal device is opened or closed depending on how fast and with what intensity the signal
on the first electrode rises or falls. The gripping force is determined by the subsequent or simul­
taneous electrode signal on the second electrode.
