Safe operation of g.USBamp
Setting up g.USBamp
Avoiding electrostatic discharge impulses to the safety input sockets:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) events can harm electronic components inside your device. Under
certain conditions, ESD may build up on your body or an object, such as a peripheral, and then
discharge into another object, such as the device. To prevent ESD damage, you should discharge
static electricity from your body before you interact with any of your device.
You can protect against ESD and discharge static electricity from your body by touching a metal
grounded object (such as the potential equalization). When connecting the electrodes to the device
you should always ground yourself to remove any static charge your body may have accumulated.
To start g.USBamp for recording perform the following steps:
Step 1:
Connect the medical power supply unit GTM21097-3005-5 with the POWER SUPPLY
connector to the POWER SUPPLY socket of g.USBamp.
Step 2:
Connect the USB cable connector USB to the USB socket of g.USBamp and the PC USB
connector of the cable to a USB connector of the PC.
