STIMULATOR ELECTRODE GUIDELINES
— PLEASE READ —
It is very important to follow the electrode placement guidelines when connecting stimulator electrodes from the
BSLSTM to a subject.
The BSLSTM can output lethal levels of energy!
Always set the Level to “0” Volts prior to connecting the stimulator electrodes to the subject.
Increase the Level adjustment slowly until a response is noted.
Never increase the Level more than necessary to obtain the desired response.
The BSLSTM should only be used under direct supervision of an Instructor.
Never place any stimulator leads in the mouth or any other body orifice.
To prevent a “Ground loop,” the Ground of the stimulator electrode and the Ground of the measuring
electrode(s) must always be connected to the same location.
Use the HSTM01 Human Stimulation Electrode for human stimulation.
To prevent a current path that goes across or through the heart, the stimulator electrodes and the measuring
electrodes should always be in close proximity.
For example, if making measurements on an arm, the stimulator electrodes and measuring electrodes —
including the ground electrodes — must be on the same arm. Any other electrodes or transducers that
make electrical contact with the body should not be connected while the stimulator is connected.
