How to Use the PYRO-ENERGEN
***Please follow the instructions and handle the machine as indicated below.***
The PYRO-ENERGEN is used with a metal plate or screen connected to the Output High Voltage terminal. It is quick and easy to use as there are no dials or configurations required, and it only takes less than 1 minute to set up.
- Place the PYRO-ENERGEN on a flat surface, such as a plastic or wooden table or desk, away from nearby conductive materials. Do not place the machine directly on the floor.
- Plug the 1.5-meter Output High Voltage cable to the Output High Voltage terminal at the back of the unit. Connect the alligator clip to a metal sheet, foil, or screen. Ensure that the cable from the PYRO-ENERGEN to the metal screen is not touching the ground and is at least 6 inches away from the floor.
- Place the metal screen or sheet on a low plastic stool. Sit on a plastic or wooden chair (plastic chair is most recommended for best insulation). You may use seat cushions for added comfort.
Use only clean and dry plastic or wooden materials. It is advisable to use a plastic chair and stool as wood can absorb moisture from the air, reducing its insulating properties and potentially causing electrostatic leakage, which may diminish the effectiveness of the treatment. - Place your feet (bare or with socks) on the metal sheet or screen. For additional comfort, you can place a thin piece of cloth or towel on top of the screen.
- Finally, have someone plug the power cord into an outlet. If you are using the PYRO-ENERGEN alone, the easiest way is to first turn on the machine, then sit on the plastic chair, and lift both your feet off the floor to place them on the metal screen.
Ensure that the power cord does not come near the Output High Voltage terminal and cable. Do not touch any appliance or anything or anyone that is grounded including the machine's AC power cord while your feet are still in contact with the metal screen.
The two indicator lights will illuminate, indicating that the machine is powered on and generating electrostatic energy.
- Children or pets may be held on the lap for treatment.
- It is recommended to undergo treatment 3–5 times a day for 30 minutes per session. Treatment during the whole night, even while sleeping, can also expedite the healing process.
If you do not suffer from an illness or disease, it is advisable to undergo treatment at least once a day to prevent disease and maintain good health.
- After completing your session, remove both your feet from the metal screen before standing up and touching the floor. Then, unplug the unit from the wall outlet or turn off the power extension bar if one is being used. Alternatively, have someone turn off the machine for you.

Frequently Asked Questions on Use / Troubleshooting
You shouldn't attempt to turn on or plug the machine in while your feet are on the metal screen. It would be easier if someone plugs the power cord into the outlet for you. If you are using the PYRO-ENERGEN alone, the easiest way would be to first turn on the machine, then sit on a plastic chair, and lift your feet off the floor and place them on the metal screen. The moment your feet touch the screen, you may feel a slight tingling sensation in your feet for a split-second as the static field makes a connection to your body. If you are bothered by this, you can place a thin piece of cloth or towel on top of the screen.
Another alternative is to use a remote-controlled power outlet. If unavailable, one solution is to use a power extension bar that has a separate on and off switch and use a plastic or wooden stick to turn on the switch.
The only thing to remember is not to touch any grounded object WHILE any part of your body is touching the metal screen. By not touching any grounded object, it is impossible to induce a static shock.
There is no need. Just be sure to remove both your feet from the metal screen before getting off the chair and touching the floor. To resume, do the reverse—sit first on the plastic chair, lift your feet off the floor, and place them back on the metal screen. The same method can be used when using the machine in a lying position.
Yes, you can fold it into a coil or loop and tie it up to shorten its length and prevent it from touching the ground.
Yes, absolutely! The only difference is that the metal screen will be placed directly on the bed or couch under the user. The most ideal location to place the metal screen for the majority of users is below the knee area. This way, when they're using the machine alone, they can easily get in and out of bed or the couch by just lifting their feet off the screen (use a similar method as described in Question #1).
Make sure to use a nonconductive bed, couch, or foam mattress without metal springs to prevent electrostatic leakage and reduce the effectiveness of the therapy.
Most people are able to use devices like cellphones or tablets without problems even while using the machine. This is a case-by-case basis and depends on the durability of these gadgets to withstand the presence of static electricity. For example, most PYRO-ENERGEN users can hold and use simple small electronic devices like a TV remote control without damaging the remote since it is not sensitive to static electricity.
The size of the electrode (metal sheet/screen/net) used is completely irrelevant to the efficacy of the treatment and the intensity of the static electricity. In fact, the patient's entire body will be fully enveloped instantly by the PYRO-ENERGEN's special electric field, regardless of the size of the screen or the specific body part touching it. The patient just needs to make physical contact with the metal screen using any part of their body that they're comfortable with. As long as the materials (copper, metallic, aluminum) can conduct electricity, any of these types of electrodes can be used.
If you hear a static or hissing sound coming from the back of the unit, it is likely caused by a poorly insulated table, which causes some static electricity to leak and jump to the table from the discharge terminal at the back of the unit. You can try using a different table. To minimize this leakage, you can place a flat piece of insulated material (such as a polybag, bubble wrap sheet, or Styrofoam sheet) directly under the unit itself.
Test Procedure
One way to check if the PYRO-ENERGEN is functioning properly, or if you are not grounded, and if you are well insulated, is to tear off thin bits of tissue paper or Kleenex and place them on a flat surface made of wood or plastic. Then, bring your finger near it. The tissue paper will start to move or rise, indicating that you are experiencing electrostatic electrification. Poor insulation can affect the intensity of static electricity surrounding your body. Under good insulation, the tissue paper should begin to move or rise when your fingers are 3-4 inches away from it.
Note: It takes at least 1-2 minutes for the static electricity to fully charge around the user's body. The static electric field will be at its strongest after about 5 minutes of using the machine.
For Reclining or Bedridden Patients
- Prepare a piece of aluminum foil or metal screen/net measuring approximately 12"x12". Connect it to the PYRO-ENERGEN using the alligator clip of the 1.5-meter Output High Voltage cable. Ensure that the cable does not touch the ground and is at least 6 inches above the ground.
- Have the user lie on a nonconductive bed or surface, such as a plastic deck recliner or a nonmetallic bed with a foam mattress that does not have metal springs. This helps prevent electrostatic leakage and ensures optimal effectiveness of the treatment.
- Place the metal sheet, foil, or screen under the user. It is acceptable to have clothing between the metal and the skin.
- Finally, plug the power cord into an outlet. Ensure that the power cord does not come near the Output High Voltage terminal and cable. The two indicator lights will illuminate, indicating that the machine is powered on and generating electrostatic energy. The user must not touch any grounded appliances, objects, or individuals, including the machine's AC power cord, while their body is still in contact with the metal screen.
- It is recommended to undergo treatment 3–5 times a day for 30 minutes per session. Treatment during the whole night, even while sleeping, can also expedite the healing process.
If you do not suffer from an illness or disease, it is advisable to undergo treatment at least once a day to prevent disease and maintain good health.
