Some protocols have different modes. For example, Omni 8 has 8 modes. Each mode runs for a certain period of time, then the next mode starts. The next mode runs for a different period of time, followed by the next. The C5 cycles through each mode in each protocol.  At the end of the last mode, the C5 starts again with the first mode.


The C5 will continue to cycle through each mode: 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, ....... Each mode runs for a defined time “t” in minutes.
For example, in the A9 Protocol the modes and times can summarized as:

Mode_1 = 5 pps +/- - for 10 minutes 

Mode_2 = 100+ pps - for 10 minutes 

Mode_3 = 100- pps - for 10 minutes


Selecting a Protocol

The Micro-Pulse Model C5 allows self experimentation by responsible adults. It is not a marketing gimmick. 

We do not provide pre-programmed protocols to:

  • Enhance sleep
  • Amplify your brain power
  • Connect you with the Earth Mother Goddess 
  • Magically cure a specific disease
  • Magically heal a serious injury

While many commercially available PEMF systems make such claims, we believe most of these claims have limited or no scientific basis. On the other hand, some PEMF devices have been reported to have remarkably beneficial effects. Many of these effects have been reported in peer-reviewed scientific papers, some have been verified by independent certified testing laboratories, and the FDA has approved several PEMF systems as safe and effective, to be used by prescription. Micro-Pulse ICES products are NOT FDA approved for any use. The C5 will allow you to experiment and explore these effects for yourself. The only miracles you should expect are the miracles of careful science.

Selecting a Protocol


Get to the SELECT PROTOCOL screen by pressing the WHITE (NEXT) button from the ADJUST POWER screen. It will look like this:

  • The default protocol is “C5”, which is the new protocol developed for the C5 and B5 systems, but you can select a different protocol on the following screens.

  • Use the BLUE (DOWN) button to scroll down the list of protocols. Each protocol is listed on its own screen.

  • For example, from the C5 protocol, press the BLUE (DOWN) button three times to get to the Omni 8 screen, as shown:


  • When you see the protocol you want, just press the RED (RUN) button to jump straight to RUN NOW. The C5 will immediately begin running the selected protocol at the power level you set. It will remember this protocol setting..

  • If you do nothing the C5 will automatically RUN in 5 seconds. Or press the RED button to RUN immediately.


Selecting the C5 Protocol

This is the default screen for the C5 protocol:



When you scroll down to this screen, the system will remember that you want to use this protocol.


The C5 protocol has 6 modes:

  1. 10 minutes: 5 pps alternating bipolar
  2. 2 minutes: +100 pps bursts every second
  3. 2 minutes: -100 pps bursts every second
  4. 5 minutes: 10 pps alternating bipolar
  5. 1 min: +100pps burst every second and 5pps
  6. 1 min: -100pps burst every second and 5pps


The C5 protocol will just cycle through each mode, then start over from the beginning.


Selecting the A9 Protocol

This is the default screen for the A9 protocol:


When you scroll down to this screen, the system will remember that you want to use this protocol.

The A9 protocol has 3 modes:

  1. 10 minutes: 5 pps alternating bipolar
  2. 2 minutes: +100 pps bursts every second
  3. 2 minutes: -100 pps bursts every second

The A9 protocol will just cycle through each mode, then start over from the beginning.


Selecting the P2 Protocol

This is the default screen for the P2 protocol:

P2 is the protocol that was used for older Micro-Pulse devices, such as SomaPulse, MagnaFix, AllevaWave, and others.


When you scroll down to this screen, the system will remember that you want to use this protocol.


The P2 protocol has 4 modes:

  1. 10 minutes: 5 pps alternating bipolar
  2. 10 minutes: +100 pps bursts every second
  3. 10 minutes: -100 pps bursts every second
  4. 10 minutes: REST (no pulses during the REST period)


The P2 protocol will just cycle through each mode, then start over from the beginning.


Selecting the Omni 8 Protocol

This is the default screen for the Omni 8 protocol:


When you scroll down to this screen, the system will remember that you want to use this protocol.


The OMNI 8 protocol has 8 modes:

  1. 10 minutes: 5 pps alternating bipolar
  2. 2 minutes: +100 pps bursts every second + 5 pps bipolar
  3. 2 minutes: -100 pps bursts every second + 5 pps bipolar
  4. 1 minute: 3.92 pps alternating bipolar
  5. 1 minute: 7.14 pps alternating bipolar
  6. 1 minute: 10.42 pps alternating bipolar
  7. 1 minute: 13.20 pps alternating bipolar
  8. 1 minute: 16.95 pps alternating bipolar


The Omni 8 protocol will just cycle through each mode, then start over from the beginning.


Selecting the Schumann Protocols

The default screen for the Schumann protocols:

When you scroll down to these screens, the system will remember that you want to use this protocol.


The Schumann protocol has 5 modes:

  1. 5 minutes: Fundamental: 7.83 pps alternating bipolar
  2. 1 minute: First harmonic: 14.3 pps bipolar
  3. 1 minute: Second harmonic: 20.8 pps bipolar
  4. 1 minute: Third harmonic: 27.3 pps bipolar
  5. 1 minute: Fourth harmonic: 33.8 pps bipolar


Schumann 1 only does mode 1; 

Schumann 2 does modes 1 and 2; 

Schumann 3 does modes 1-2-3 and so on. 

When finished, it starts over again.


Selecting the Constant Frequency Protocols

The constant frequency protocols let you set one single frequency: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 10 pps.


This is an example screen for this protocol:


When you scroll down to this screen, the system will remember that you want to use this protocol at the selected frequency.


These protocols only have one mode:

  1. You select one frequency: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 10 pps


The C5 runs at that frequency continuously

The C5 generates the selected frequency continuously until you turn the power OFF.


Selecting the Timed scTMS Protocols

The timed scTMS protocols are discussed in more detail here


This is the default screen for the 30-minute timed scTMS protocol protocol:


The frequency is set for 10 pps continuous.

There are 2 timer settings: 

  1. 30 minutes 
  2. 60 minutes


The C5 will require you to shut the power OFF when the timer is completed. You can just let it sit there without shutting the power OFF, but it will not do anything else until you reset the system with a power OFF.


Selecting a Brain Wave Protocol

The CNS/Neural “brain wave” protocolsare discussed in detail here


This is the default screen for the ALPHA protocol:


The frequency and ramp times are given in a table here.


The wave protocol you select will just keep ramping up and down along its pre-set frequencies until you turn the power OFF.


Selecting the Matrix Protocol


This is the default screen for the Matrix protocol:

When you scroll down to this screen, the system will remember that you want to use this protocol.


The Matrix protocol is only for use if you are a member of the Matrix Repatterning Network, which involves training.


The Matrix protocol is identical to the default Omni-8 protocol except that it has an extended time for Mode #1, and the mode times are not adjustable.
