With which part of the EMDR Kit 1 are you experiencing an issue?

If your Light Tube is faltering, it could have the following causes:


1. Bad contact

If your Light Tube is faltering, it could have to do with a bad contact between the Controller and the Light Tube. Could you try the following:

  • Remove the wire of the Light Tube from the Controller.
  • Blow into the entrance of the Controller as well as the connecting piece from the wire of the Light Tube.
  • Attach the wire of the Light Tube back into the Controller. 
  • See if this resolved the issue. 

  • 2. The connecting piece is defective
    If you look into the connecting piece of the Light Tube's wire, you will see some metal pins. There should be 6 of them, together with a black pin in the middle. If any of the pins are missing, or bend, it could explain the issue. 

    Was your problem not resolved, or has it been made clear that there is a defect, then you can fill in the form below and we will contact you as soon as possible.

    If your Light Tube does not do anything, it could have the following causes:

    2. The connecting piece is defective
    If you look into the connecting piece of the Light Tube's wire, you will see some metal pins. There should be 6 of them, together with a black pin in the middle. 

    3. MUSIC MODE
    It could be that your controller has been set to MUSIC mode. When this mode is active, the Light Tube and Pulsators do not work. You can put your controller back in SWEEPING MODE by following these steps:

    • Turn on the Controller.
    • Press the M button once. 
    • Does the screen read MUSIC? Then press the arrow buttons until the screen reads SWEEPING.


      4. Low-intensity setting

      The intensity could be set too low, making the Light dot invisible. You can increase the intensity by pushing the + button on the controller next to "Volume/Intensity".


      Was your problem not resolved, or has it been made clear that there is a defect, then you can fill in the form below and we will contact you as soon as possible.

      The wire attached to the pulsators can be subject to wear and tear. That could cause the connection between the wire and the pulsators to become less effective. The Pulsator could also be defective.

      To test whether the wire is worn out or that the issue is caused by a defective Pulsator, you can try the following: 

      • Remove the Pulsator that is malfunctioning from the wire. 
      • Also, remove the functioning Pulsator from the wire.
      • Now attach the malfunctioning Pulsator to the end of the wire where previously the functioning Pulsator was attached. 
      • And attach the functioning pulsator to the end of the wire where previously the malfunctioning pulsator was attached.  

      If the same Pulsator is still malfunctioning, that Pulsator is defective and needs to be replaced.  

      If now the other Pulsator (that was functioning well previously) is malfunctioning, the issue is caused by the wire. 


      You can order a new wire here.
      You can order a new single Pulsator here (with wire)
      You can order a new set of Pulsators here (with wire).


      Please note: The color of the Pulsators has changed to green/blue since we introduced the EMDR Kit Classic. 


      If both Pulsators are malfunctioning, it could have the following causes: 

      1. MUSIC MODE

      It could be that your controller has been set to MUSIC mode. When this mode is active, the Light Tube and Pulsators do not work. You can put your controller back in SWEEPING MODE by following these steps:

      • Turn on the Controller.
      • Press the M button once. 
      • Does the screen read MUSIC? Then press the arrow buttons until the screen reads SWEEPING.

        2. Low-intensity setting

        The intensity could be set too low, making the Light dot invisible. You can increase the intensity by pushing the + button on the controller next to "Volume/Intensity".

        3. Wire wear and tear

        After a while, the wire can be worn and the contact between the wire and Pulsators could be bad. You can purchase a new wire here.  


        4. Pulsators defective

        It could be that your Pulsators are defective. In that case, you can order new ones.

        It is important that the Pulsators charge well. When you place the Pulsators in the dockingstation with the charger attached to the power supply, do the LED lights on the Pulsators turn green after a while of charging?pick one!

        The issue you experience is probably related to charging. Please fill in this troubleshooter again and select a different issue: One or both Pulsators are not charging well. The questions and solutions here are specifically for disconnect issues with pulsators that are charging as intended. 

        There are several important factors that influence the quality of Bluetooth connections. A mix of one or more of these factors could cause your Pulsators to disconnect. 
        We have noticed that iOS (apple) devices are more susceptible to these factors compared with most android devices. 
        We understand a disconnect can be very inconvenient during a session. By keeping the following factors in mind, you can decrease the chance of having a disconnect: 

        1. Impeding objects
        Anything between your phone and the Pulsators can have a negative effect on the signal quality. 
        We recommend making sure that there are no objects between your phone and the Pulsators. For example, a table or other objects between the phone and Pulsators can hinder the connection. 

        2. The way a client holds the pulsators
        Some clients hold the pulsators in their armpits or beneath their legs or tight to the chest. 
        This can also make it harder for the signal to reach your phone. Make sure your client is not blocking the signal with their body. 

        3. Distance 
        The Bluetooth signal weakens as the distance between the Pulsators and your phone increases. Therefore, do not make the distance too great.
        We recommend a maximum distance of 2-3 meters (which is 6 to 10 feet). 

        4. Phone placement
        For most models of smartphones and tablets, the Bluetooth chip is placed in the upper part of the device. 

        To let the Bluetooth items function optimally it is recommended to position the phone in such a way that its Bluetooth chip can get a good signal. 
        For example, you could use a phone/tablet stand so that the phone is positioned upright. 


        If these factors can  not explain the issue you are experience, please continue with the troubleshooter.



        Please follow the next steps:

        • ​Remove the EMDR Kit app from your phone.
        • Restart your phone
        • Download and install the EMDR Kit app
        • Open the app and press on CONNECT
        • Connect with the different parts

        After following these steps it should work as intended. If not, please continue with answering the next question:

        After removing and reinstalling the app, it is sure you work with the most recent app version. Press on CONNECT and look at the bottom of the screen. Which version number is displayed there? in your app?

        Do you work with a phone or tablet with iOS (apple) or with Android (not apple)?

        It is important to clean the contact points of the Pulsators and docking stations every once in a while with some cleaning alcohol.


        There can gather some dust or dirt in the contact points of the Pulsators as well as the docking stations. It is important to clean these contact points to make sure the charging process goes well. 
        Please try to clean the contact points with some cleaning alcohol and see if this resolves the issue. 

        Some dust or dirt might prevent proper charging. We recommend to clean the contactpoints within the dockingstations and on the Pulsators regularly with some cleaning alcohol. After that charging should improve. Did you already clean the contact points with cleaning alcohol?
        To make proper contact with the contactpoints in the dockingstations, it might help to give the Pulsators a gentle downward nudge.
        The Pulsators should be active (blinking blue) to be able to connect them. You can activate them by shaking them. Did you activate the pulsators?
        The battery of one or both of the Pulsators could be low or empty. When charging, the LED light on the Pulsators should turn green when sufficiently charged and blinking red when charging. Did you succesfully charge the Pulsators with the charger plugged into the power supply?
        On the base of the Light Tube there is an ON/OFF switch. The 1 should be pressed down so that the Light TUbe is turned ON. Is the Light Tube turned ON?
        The battery of the Light Tube can be empty. Did you charge the Light Tube with the charger plugged into the power supply?
        To work with the EMDR Kit Wireless parts, Bluetooth needs to be turned ON on your phone or tablet. Is Bluetooth turned on on your phone or tablet?
        It is important that the operation system (iOS or Android) on your phone or tablet is up to date. Did you check if you have the latest version of the operation system installed on your phone or tablet?
        It can help to remove the app from your phone and reinstall it. Did you do already try this?
        It can help to restart your phone or tablet. Did you already try this?


        The cache (temporary memory) on your phone can become full which can cause Bluetooth not to work optimally. You can clear the Bluetooth cache by following these steps:

        -Go to Settings on your phone/tablet.
        - Select "Apps"
        - Display system apps (possibly you have to swipe left/right or choose from the menu (three dots) in the top right corner)
        - Select Bluetooth from the list
        - Select Storage
        - Choose to Clear Cache
        - Choose to Clear Data
        - Go back
        - Restart your phone. 

        Did you clear the Bluetooth Cache?
        Did you already test with a different phone to see if the issue occurs with a different phone as well? (Preferably with a different model)
        The Pulsator could be damaged, for example from falling. Is there any visual damage or irregularity to the Pulsator?If yes, please clarify in the description below.
        Is the issue occuring with one Pulsator or both Pulsators?If yes, please clarify in the description below.
