Here are the exact steps you can follow to verify your Spooky2 generator works OK.
Testing the generator by itself.
Test the XM as a standalone generator using these settings:
CH1 F=00′ 000′ 000.10 Hz AMPL = 20.00V OFFSET = 000% DUTY = 50% P = 000%
CH1 Sync Tracemode: Yes
CH2 F=00′ 000′ 000.10 Hz AMPL = 20.00V OFFSET = 000% DUTY = 50% P = 180%
CH2 Sync Tracemode: F.A.D. (This tells CH2 to follow the frequency, amplitude and duty cycle of CH1.
Connect the Spooky Boost cable.
Here are four ways to test the generator:
1. If you have a Digital Multimeter, you can set it on the 20 volts DC scale and connect it to the ends of a TENS cable. You’ll see the voltage go to +9.8 volts for 5 seconds, then switch to -9.8 volts for 5 seconds. If you see that, the generator is working correctly.
2. If you have a Spooky Remote, you can connect it to the output of the Spooky Boost cable. The LEDs should light up alternately every 10 seconds. If that happens, the generator is working correctly.
3. If you have the TENS cable and TENS pads, you can turn the CH1 amplitude down to zero, and apply a pad to the inside of each ankle using the red and black connectors. When you’re ready, turn the CH1 amplitude up gradually until you feel a sensation. 8 to 12 volts should be enough but 20 volts was not unbearable. If you feel the tingle, the generator is working correctly.
4. If you still have any doubts, get an AM radio and tune it to an unused channel. Tune the CH1 frequency to around the same frequency and verify that you hear the output of the generator on the AM radio. As you change the frequency of the generator, you might hear various tones, squeals, racket or sudden silence which indicates the generator is working correctly.
Once you’re confident that the generator is working correctly, it’s time to test the communication between the computer and the generator. Leave the generator connected to its power supply and turned On.
Connecting the USB cable
To dissipate any static electricity, touch the metal case of your computer with one hand and the metal case of your generator with the other hand. If you get a slight jolt, be thankful you took the shock and not your expensive gear. Now, touch the metal end of the USB cable with one hand and touch your computer case with the other. The computer, generator and USB cable are all at the same potential now, so it’s safe to connect the USB cable to the generator and then to the computer.
The USB cable supplies the data connection between the Spooky2 program and the XM generator. The USB connection cannot supply sufficient power to fully power the generator, so the generator power supply should always be connected to the mains supply and connected to the generator when it is in use.
Testing with Spooky2 software.
Start up the Spooky2 program.
If the program displays “No generators were detected. Entering Test Mode” you should double-check the USB cable. Substitute a different cable if you have one. It the same kind of cable that most printers use, so you can temporarily borrow one to verify whether the cable is good. If you replace the cable, close the Spooky2 program and open it again.
There are also possible issues with the driver installation. See the Utils menu and the User Guide to remedy any driver problems.
Finally, you can try to use the program.
Choose a program in Spooky2 by double-clicking on it in the database list to load it. Any one will do for testing.
Click the red Channel button just right of center (Channel 3 on my computer). You’ll see the Channel Control 3 window with a list of frequencies. Click Start. It may take a few seconds for the waveforms to be created and transferred to the generator. You may hear a relay click in the generator. Those are good signs. Now compare the frequencies on the generator’s LCD display with the frequencies in Spooky2’s list. If the frequencies match, then, hooray, your entire system is working correctly!

Gen mx output 1 does not light up when running signal test. is it a capacitor or resistor. do you sell just circuit board replacements?
Hi, we can provide you with this help. Feel free to contact our customer service at [email protected], they will help you ASAP:)
Hi I am having issues with my xm generator . It was running the phanatron tube for a few seconds then stops.
I have tried to change the settings as shown in the Spooky2 article” Troubleshooting: Verifying Your Spooky2 Generator Works OK”
There are more settings on the generator than are referred to in the article.
I do not know what the settings are supposed to be. Now the generator does not work at all.
Please help.
Kind regards, Peter.
Dear Peter, so sorry to have caused you some trouble, can you please send a detailed description with pictures or videos to our email: [email protected] ? Our engineers will help you to check your product. Thank you very much for your understanding and support!
I don’t see troubleshooting for the GenX. Mine won’t turn on. It has power because, when I press the start button, a green light comes on internally. But it will not start. What now? I have not had it all that long and, for the entire time I’ve had it, it was connected to the scalar unit. Now that I disconnected it (I moved from one house to another), it will not start. I know it is connected properly–the same as all my XM generators and they all work but the GenX does not.
Dear Trudy, we’re so sorry to make you have a bad experience. Could you please send the problem you are experiencing in the form of a picture or video to our email: [email protected] ? Our engineers will help you to check what’s wrong with your GX and give you a solution. Thank you for your understanding and support!
Hi, after trying to update my gen x it stopped halfway through and the only way to disable it was to unplug from power. Now the screen will not turn on when I try to start it up again. Is there a reboot function or have I broken it?
Many thanks.
Hi Lauren, please send the question in the form of picture or video to our email: [email protected], we will provide you with professional staff to help you with your GX. thanks for your understanding and support.
MY GENERATORX only has one light on while running is this ok?
Hi Michael, are you referring to the LED lights on the Remote? If so, you can see more info here: https://www.spooky2-mall.com/blog/what-does-your-spooky2-remote-led-light-indicate/. If not, please contact us by email: [email protected] and our customer service team will help you troubleshoot the issue.
My generator X pro is properly plugged to a live receptacle and will not turn on. It does not light up at all with the push of the on button.
Hi friend, sorry to see that you are suffering from the problem, please contact us by email: [email protected] and we will arrange a professional to help you troubleshoot this issue. Thank you for your understanding and support.
Hello I have generator x when I apply booster to one of the generators the high power contact light doesn’t light up at all when I am running program or do the test.Is that mean that generator doesn’t work?
Thank you for your question. If the high power contact light on your Generator X isn’t lighting up when applying the booster, it could indicate a few potential issues. Here’s a quick troubleshooting guide based on our blog:
Check Connections: Ensure that all cables and connections are securely attached. Loose connections can prevent proper functioning of the high power contact light.
Verify Booster and Generator Setup: Make sure the booster and generator are properly set up according to the user manual. Double-check that the booster is correctly connected to the generator and that all settings are appropriately configured.
If these steps don’t resolve the issue, there might be a hardware problem with the generator or booster. In that case, contacting Spooky2 support at [email protected] for further assistance would be advisable.
Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions or need additional help!
My Central unit will turn on. The modulation lights will run, but there is no power to the lamp. I have two lamps and tried them both, and neither one works. I am using a Rife plasma preset for Cancer. The fan on my unit also does not turn on when the unit is powered on. I am guessing I need a new fuse. What are the specifications of the fuses? I do not see any numbers or power ratings on them. A type or rating would be greatly appreciated so that I can try to get a replacement. Thanks in advance.
