52 <strong>Estella</strong> <strong>Pulse</strong> <strong>Generators</strong> Technical ManualFigure 9: Rate FadingThe Rate Fading feature is available after 10 ASYNC while in magnetmode and disabled at ERI and in backup mode.7.3 <strong>Pulse</strong> Specific FeaturesFeatures related to the pacing pulse.7.3.1 <strong>Pulse</strong> AmplitudeThe programmed pulse amplitude determines the voltage applied to theheart during each pacing pulse. The pulse amplitude is independentlyprogrammable for the atrial and ventricular channels up to 7.5 volts.The pulse amplitude remains consistent throughout the service life ofthe pulse generator. The pacing safety margin is therefore not reducedby a decrease in the pulse generator’s battery voltage.NOTE:When VCC is programmed to ON or ATM, the pulse amplitude cannotbe programmed by the user to a value higher than the programmedMaximum VCC Amplitude (Max. Ampl.). When VCC is programmedto ON, the pulse amplitude will be set by the device to the thresholdplus the programmed Safety Margin, but never lower than theMinimum VCC Amplitude (fixed at 0.7V.)
