ECG-1 Input & ECG-2 Input
These are 6.5mm phone jack inputs for high level ECG. Input voltage range is ±1.0 Volts with an input
impedance of 47kOhms, so source impedance should be less than 4.7 K.
Sync-1 Output
This port delivers a CMOS logic (positive 5V) logic 200 ms logical pulse at various times during
stimulation.
Auxiliary Port
This port allows connection to Stimulus Multiplexer Box, MP3086.

two pulses less than 300 ms apart.
This may be due to noise on the
Stimulator output (e.g. RF ablation
voltage) or the communication
cable.
Disconnect Stimulator from the
patient. Check that communication
cable between PC and Stimulus
Generator Unit is secure and remove
any interference from the Stimulator
outputs. Reset Stimulus Generator
Unit by pressing 'Backup Enable'. If
error persists contact distributor.
