The Quantum amplifier system is designed to work with a Natus computer system running Natus
NeuroWorks/SleepWorks software.

mount track.

base unit can be connected to a standard switched gigabit network jack or to a secondary gigabit
network interface card (recommended) on the acquisition computer.

accessories (DC input cables, Stimulator adapter cable etc.) as required.

The Natus base unit provides a potential equalization conductor for optional use. To install, connect a
bus cable from the potential equalization conductor to the potential equalization busbar of the electrical
insulation in the room where the Quantum system is used.
7.3. Connecting the Breakout Boxes to the Natus Base Unit
The Natus Base unit and Breakout Boxes can be interfaced with a quick and easy connection of the
