Making sure the prosthetic components are set up for ideal Coapt control
There are quite a few options for prosthesis users when it comes to terminal devices, wrists, and elbows; not to
mention all of the possible different configurations of each. This section will assist with the Coapt setup with
your specific configuration.
The Coapt system was designed to be compatible with as many prosthetic components as possible. To do that
it stores different communication languages, setups, and profiles in its memory. The system has been
engineered to be smart, but it is still VERY IMPORTANT for you to ensure two things for ideal operation:
PROPER PROSTHETIC DEVICE SETTINGS
Make sure the native/onboard settings of the prosthetic devices you are setting up for Coapt control are set
and saved to exact parameters recommended by Coapt. For this one-time task, you may have to use the setup
software and/or tools from the manufacturer of each device. Plan for enough setup time to accomplish this.
To find guidance for these settings, refer to the visual connection guides for each different cable type available
on the Coapt website, or on visual instructions within the Coapt software applications. Pro tip: There is a two-
character code on the label of your Coapt Device Connection Cable. Use that code to find and follow the settings
and connection diagrams specific to your cable type. Please contact a Coapt representative for assistance if you
are not comfortable adjusting any of the settings of the prosthetic components.
PROPER PROSTHETIC DEVICE CONNECTIONS
Connectors coming from the Coapt system (white jacketed Device Connection Cable) need to be properly
connected to your prosthetic device(s). To assist, all Coapt terminal connections are labeled and match
instructions on illustrative connection diagrams available on the Coapt website, or on visual instructions within
the Coapt software applications. Pro tip: There is a two-character code on the label of your Coapt Device
Connection Cable. Use that code to find and follow the settings and connection diagrams specific to your cable
type. Please contact a Coapt representative for assistance if you are not comfortable making the connections
to the prosthetic components
Use with correct prosthetic components.
Make sure the device is only connected to the
prosthetic components indicated during product order. Any use with a prosthetic device that
is incompatible with the system, or was not indicated during product order, may cause
damage to and/or malfunction of the device and could result in minor injury to the user.
The Device Interface Cable also connects prosthesis power to the
Complete Controller
.
Proper battery connection.
Ensure proper wiring, proper connection polarity, and use of a
suitable battery when connecting the device to power. Improper wiring, reversed polarity, or
use of an unsuitable power supply can cause permanent device damage, device malfunction,
and minor injury to the user.
Use of “switched” power.
It is important that “switched” power is provided (i.e., the prosthesis
and/or battery system must incorporate an on/off switch) otherwise a constant power drain
will occur. If no prosthesis power switch is present, please contact a Coapt representative.
