Old Series 2 and 2 B

[jimbeam]

I just bought a new 2B and compared it with my old Series 2.
I was very curious about the feeling of the new 2B.
After all there are years of developement between the two boxes now.

Both boxes seem to be a lot different although most of the modes still have the same principle and name.

Of course I'm still much more used to the old Series 2 and the feel seems somewhat smoother.

I was a little disappointed that the speed of the pulses seems to have increased a lot and
I have to turn back to 1 - 10 to have it approximately slow enough.
Also the regulation of the power seems to have lost its linearity.
If you change the parameters the 2B is always "good for a suprise" - I still handle it with a lot of "respect".

Anyone with similar experiences ?

Some ideas how to use both machines at the same time ? (I'll experiment anyway ...)

The key is different - even more so when you get onto the beta firmware.

The Series 2 for some people had issues with power, hence the 2B which is an evolution from the Series 2, hence some similar modes - and a small number do not agree that a 2 is better than a 2B, but many do.

What do you mean by a "different key" ? The type of current ?
The "waveform" of the current ?

Today I noticed when using the 2b on the mains power supply that the display blinked (synchroniously with the impulses).
Also the battery sign showed "low" or "empty" when raising the level - is this normal ?
Should I or can I keep the battery in place when using the adapter ?

And - you make me curious about the beta-code 2.105 ... !

No I ment to say the 'key' is the 2B and the Series 2 are different units, the 2 is not just an upgraded Series 2 its a different design in many ways.

Yes if the battery is going flat

It shouldn't make a difference

Yes if the battery is going flat

You can find it in viewforum.php?f=19 but you need to be registered as a developer, and you will need the digital link etc

With the mains adapter the display blinks and battery shows low .... is it possible that my mains adapter doesn't have enough power ?
(It came with the Pro Pack ! )

Shouldn't it be "30 % above battery" ?

that is quite unusual - you might want to drop customer services an email and they can get it checked out - info@e-stim.co.uk

[estim_si]

does the display 'blink' or flicker? - blinking as in on/off/on , or faster

Ok - tried the mains today with the battery in place.

This time there was no unusual behavior.

Have to try again without battery to check whether the problem comes back.
