Comparing zapper signal strength using different electrodes

Effectiveness of zapper signal using copper paddles only
Wrist near green wire Note that the signal is lower than the others and that it is very rounded. This indicates that much of the high frequency signal is absent implying that parasites near this point most likely will not be killed.	Shoulder near green wire Note that while this signal is more square than it is at the wrist, there is still some attenuation of the high frequency component. It is unlikely that any parasites hiding in the arm near the green wire would be killed.
Shoulder near red wire This signal is more square and stronger than the one from the shoulder near the green wire. Parasites are far more likely to be affected by a stronger signal like this.	Wrist near red wire Note the very sharp leading edge and the spike that indicate a strong high frequency component near the red wire electrode. The overall signal is stronger. This is ideally what you would want to observe all over.
Abdomen when using copper paddles alone Note the lower strength and rounded corners that are present in this signal from the abdomen as compared to the shoulder. This indicates that not much effectiveness would be noted in the abdomenal area.	Note: All measurements shown are measured from the negative contact to specified points on the body, not to the positive electrodes which are placed at the hands and feet (where applicable). Copper paddles used are 3/4 inches diameter. Copper footpads are 11-1/2 inches long and are from 3-1/2 inches to 4-1/2 inches in width.
Discussion The most important implication that can be drawn from the images above is that the signal strength and integrity is reduced near the negative electrode and therefore, the effectiveness of the zapper will be the least near the green wire or negative electrode. It should also be noted that the voltage applied to any area between the shoulders will not be the full output of the zapper. Keep the negative electrode away from important body parts and hold it at the extremities.
Effectiveness of zapper signal using copper footpads only
Footpads only near green wire Note that the signal is lower than the others and that it is very rounded. This indicates that much of the high frequency signal is absent implying that parasites near this point most likely will not be killed.	Footpads only near red wire Note the strong leading edge that indicates a strong high frequency component near the red wire electrode. The overall signal is stronger than with the copper paddles. This is ideally what you would want to observe all over.
Abdomen with footpads only In this signal from the abdomen the signal is slightly stronger than that resulting from using copper paddles. This indicates that the larger contact area of the footpads slightly increases the effectiveness in the abdomenal area.
Discussion Again, the most important implication that can be drawn from the images above is that the signal strength and integrity is reduced near the negative electrode and therefore, the effectiveness of the zapper will be the least near the green wire or negative electrode. Also, while slightly stronger in the abdomen, the signal will not be the full output of the zapper. It is important to note that when it comes to zapper effectiveness, size makes a difference.
Effectiveness of zapper signal using copper footpads and copper paddles with two negative contacts
Abdomen with one negative footpad and one negative paddle (improper usage) Note the lower strength and rounded corners that are present in this signal from the abdomen. This indicates that not much effectiveness would be noted in the abdomenal area.	Abdomen when using copper paddles alone Note that the strength is higher than the improper footpad usage produces and that the corners are less rounded.
Discussion Some zapper sellers mistakenly provide footpads arranged so that the user has two negative contact points on the body instead of the better setup which has one negative and three positive. The resulting signal at the abdomen is actually weaker than using just copper paddles and would be expected to produce poor results. Improper footpad usage can actually degrade the effectiveness of the signal.
Effectiveness of zapper signal using copper footpads and copper paddles with two negative contacts
Abdomen with augmentation footpads (proper usage) Note the higher strength, sharper rise, and pointer corners that are present in this signal from the abdomen. This indicates that greater effectiveness would be noted in the abdomenal area.	Abdomen when using copper paddles alone Note that while the output is less than that found with proper footpad usage, the strength is higher than the improper footpad usage produces and that the corners are less rounded.
Discussion When both of the footpads are arranged with a positive connection along with one positive paddle and one negative paddle the signal to the torso is stronger and the contains higher frequencies that are needed for effectiveness.
Diagram of proper footpad usage
Both footpads and one hand are positive.	Swap hands each time you turn the zapper on.
Note: It is OK to sit.
