Connecting to a Computer
Hardware Connections for an EEG32U Amplifier
To connect the EEG32U amplifier to the XLTEK computer:
1. Use the supplied USB 2.0 cable (026620 – 3m USB 2.0 A/B Cable - Black (9.8ft)) to connect the EEG32U amplifier to
the 4 port USB hub (026274 – 4 port Industrial USB Hub; 026275 – 12VDC power supply).
2. Use the second USB 2.0 cable (W8194X – USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Gold Cable 6ft) from the USB hub (026274 – 4 port
Industrial USB Hub; 026275 – 12VDC power supply) to connect to the desktop or laptop computer.
3. Insert the Patient Event Switch into the Patient Event input on the amplifier.
4. If a Photic Stimulator is needed, insert the Photic Stimulator into the Photic Stimulator connection on the base unit.
5. When you are ready to run a study, connect the patient leads and transducers to the Brain Monitor.
The Patient Event Switch jacks are not isolated from the computer.
Only an XLTEK Patient Event Switch may be plugged into these inputs.
NOTE: Do not connect any other type of equipment to the USB hub. Connecting any additional equipment will invalidate the
safety certification for this product.
