Guest guest Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Hi Joe, Try 432 Hz. At 1.3 amperes, the amplifier fan should kick in at 4 or 4 1/2 minutes. The rate of heating of the amplifier and coil, is relatively proportionate to the frequency used. The rule of thumb is: the higher the frequency, the quicker the amp and coil will heat up. And it's not a mathematical equation. Doubling the frequency does not heat the amp and coil in half the time, etc. What I have found, is that an increase from 432 Hz. to 690 Hz., heats the coil and amp in about half the time. 832 Hz. can heat it much faster. Ideally, one wants to set the AMPL (amplitude knob) reading for the frequency generator as high as possible, to generate the most current to the coil, for the most powerful EMF. Setting the AMPERE readout at 1.3 (with the old, separate multimeter design), or at 13 (current design meter readout, on the rife unit itself) is the best overall setting for most amplifiers and coils, using most frequencies for Lyme and co's under 1000 Hz. If your amplifier and coil are getting too hot too soon, you can adjust that setting a bit lower. I find that VERY SMALL adjustments, say - 1/4 of an ampere, is sometimes enough to heat the amplifier and coil more slowly. You can experiment, to get the best results from your equipment. My 2 coils respond differently, using the same frequency, with different switch settings, based on the specs of each coil and the switch calculator. I get the same heating at setting one of them at 14 AMPL, and the other at 13 1/4 AMPL. The amplifier fan will come on at about 4 - 4 1/2 minutes for each at those settings. In other words, one coil runs much hotter than the other at the exact same frequency. This is due to all coils being hand made and individual. I don't recall if the amplifier gets hotter faster with one coil over the other at the same AMPL setting. I would not go below a setting of 12 AMPL, as the readout drops evem more during the session, and the EMF will not be as powerful. But if in doubt, ask . You may just want to shorten your coiling treatment times at higher frequencies, to give the amplifier and coil time to cool down. - Jane > > I think I have noticed my amp fan kicking in to high too soon, plus it seems as if I have to turn my amplitude up to far to get to 1.3A > > Does anyone know the frx that used to set at 1.3 and be able to time it so that the fan would come on near 4.5 mins?

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 To confirm what Jane just said, I run a single doug coiil at both freq's 432 & 864. I've noticed that the 432 does not cause the amp to 'cycle' (cooling) and will run constant for up to 5 minutes (have not gone over that yet). But, when I run at 864, I starts cycling at about 4 minutes. I run it at about 14.8 amps, just a hair under 15 amps. I always seem to feel it more at the 832 when coiling.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Hi Jane, Thank you for taking the time out to respond and for sharing how your machine is performing. I remembered performing the test while at 's and didn't remember the frx. Of course it makes sense that it was 432. The test performed almost as what was expected, as the fan increased speed at 4:20, just shy of the 4.5 mins. so all seemed near normal. At one point I had always laid the coil on the upholstered chair while I set up my coiling session, where I would sit. I didn't know for a couple weeks, but after I picked up the coil and put it on my body, it increased amplitude, when I finally noticed it, it was at 1.8 amps.....way over what was recommended. It did kick out the fuse on the amp at one point. Turns out, metal springs in between the upholstered chair was creating the havoc with the coil. Now, I am careful of any metal being around the coil when setting the amplitude. However, I think there still is a problem, which I would think is with the amp. I just ran the test at 432 at 1.3 amps and it timed at 1 min 15 seconds and the fan went into high speed. I sent an email yesterday and I know he is busy, so am doubly appreciative of you responding. I will forward this email to him too, perhaps he will let me know his thoughts. As far as running the coil at higher amps for a couple of weeks, this was a couple months ago and it seemingly has been performing as it should, that is up until now. The issue I am surmising is if I approach QSI on the warranty of the amp, how am I going to explain that the amp has got a problem in this regard......they probably know very little about what I would tell them, and I can't afford to be without it even coiling at lower settings. I would even be tempted to go for a stronger amp, like you said Doug McClean used, and be on the lookout for one on ebay or something. Jim's amp seems to be performing above expectations; strange.
