MULTI-PURPOSE ACUPUNCTURE STIMULATOR HEALTH DEVICE
GREAT WALL 808 SERIES
The KWD808-II Acupuncture Stimulator is a pro level acupunctoscope designed for acupoint detection, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS massage), and for applying electro-acupuncture or magneto-therapy.
Just like its predecessor, the KWD808-I, this KWD808-II unit features a timer and can output 5 different kinds of waveforms, each with its own corresponding illuminating graphic. However, only this model has 4 outputs, 1/8” TRS jacks (headphone style), a battery tester/ voltmeter, and a design tailored for the home-based practitioner.
Connect the A/C adaptor to the A/C jack at the rear of the device, or, insert 6 "C" cell batteries into the battery compartment underneath the device. Ensure no waveform buttons are depressed, with detection button on and timer off, otherwise error tone (song) will sound. Press the Power button to "ON" position, confirmed by the power indicator light.
Acupoint Detection
When detecting acupoint, ensure timer is set to "OFF", and press detection button to "ON". Insert the acupoint locator plug into "detective out" socket (A or B), then adjust the "APD" knob until hearing a sound cue. Then, slowly adjust counter-clockwise until a suitable setting is found. Now hold the pen in your hand and place the point on your body until both a signal and light appear which shows the exact location of acupoints.
Based on the fact that the resistance of certain body points is lesser than others, and due to differing skin electrical resistances due to sex, age, health, and season, the electric current used must be adjusted slowly until comfortable.
Wave Form Selection
When selecting a waveform, ensure the timer is set to "On" position, and that all output knobs are turned all the way down, otherwise, the error tone will sound. Multiple waveforms can be selected at the same time by holding down the respective buttons simultaneously. Once the device is powered, the output can be increased for each channel. The following traits describe the different wave forms that can be used for various applications (electro acupuncture, massage, etc):
Temporarily stimulate local circulation: Dense-Disperse wave.
Muscle & nerve excitement: Intermittent, Respiration, Ripple and Disperse waves.
Stimulation of collagenous tissue: Disperse wave.
Galvano-Acupuncture
Insert acupuncture needle into patient's acupoint, and connect the output clips to the needle. Regulate output strength as needed.
Electro Pulse Massage
Affix the two electric-conductive rubber pieces to the place to be massaged (or to the areas of girth). Then, connect the lead wires to the pads, while plugging the other end of the wire into any one of the output sockets in the lower part of the device. Several output ends may be used at the same time for enhancing the rehabilitation.
Battery Testing
If using battery power, simply press the Battery Test Button. If the gauge in the voltmeter is within the area marked "R", the battery needs replacing.

THE 5 PULSEWAVE FORMS FOR THE KWD808-II
This acupuncture stimulator features five kinds of wave forms, all very safe, with low frequencies equal to that of the human body. The following five wave forms may be used at the same time or separately, and the output of each one may be regulated independently. For increased effect, two or more outputs can be used simultaneously.
Continuous Wave
Pulse duration r = (0.5 +/- 0.15) ms; Repeated pulse frequency: f1=( 1+/- 0.5 ) Hz to ( 100 +/- 10) Hz. and FREQ1 can be regulated continuously, Max Output pulse amplitude: 40V +/- 10V (Load 500 O.)
Dense-Disperse Wave
Dense & disperse waves display alternatively. Disperse frequency: f1 (same with base wave); Dense frequency: 100 Hz. Pulse duration: 0.5ms. FREQ2 regulates the frequency f2 of (10 +/- 3) to (50 =/- 10) cycles per min. Max Output pulse amplitude: 40V +/- 10V (Load 500 O.)
Intermittent Wave
Pulse shows at regular interval at the same frequency.
Ripple Wave
Amplitude increases to maximum then drops to zero suddenly, and repeats. Frequency: (10 +/- 3) to (50 +/- 10) cycles /min. The Max output plus amplitude range is over 5V to 30V (load 500 O.).
Respiration Wave
Amplitude increases first, then drops quickly to zero, and repeats. At 1kO load Vp3 = 24V, other pulse data are same as above.

Acupoints used in treatment may or may not be in the same area of the body as the targeted symptom. The TCM theory for the selection of such points and their effectiveness is that they work by stimulating the meridian system to bring about relief by rebalancing yin, yang and qi (also spelled "chi"). This theory is based on the paradigm of TCM, not that of science.
Body acupoints are generally located by a measurement technique that is calibrated according to their proportional distances from various landmark points on the body. Acupoint location usually depends on specific anatomical landmarks that can be palpated. There are nearly 400 basic acupoints on the meridians. Many of these basic points are rarely used. Some points are considered more therapeutically valuable than others, and are used very frequently for a wide array of health conditions.
Categories of body acupuncture points:
1.
Five Transporting Points system describes the flow of qi in the channels using a river analogy, and ascribes function to points along this flowline according to their location.
2.
Five Phase Points ascribe each of the five phases - wood, fire, earth, metal and water - to one of the Five Transporting points.
3.
Xi-cleft points are the point on the channel where the qi and blood gather and plunge more deeply.
4.
Yuan-source points are points on the channel from where the yuan qi can be accessed.
5.
Luo-connecting points are located at the point on the channel where the luo meridian diverges.
6.
Back-shu points lie on the paraspinal muscles either side of the spine.
7.
Front-mu points are located in close proximity to the respective organ.
8.
Hui-meeting points are a category of points that are considered to have a "special effect" on certain tissues and organs.
