Problems

If “noise” is seen superimposed on the waveform, then check the

following:

1)

Have you sited the electrodes correctly?  Check that the elec-

trodes are not sited on excessive fat.  Check that they 

are not sited over large muscles, otherwise, EMG will also be

displayed.

2)

Check the earth or reference electrode.

3)

Check that the correct leads are attached to the correct elec-

trode and correct socket on the Isolated Preamplifier.

4)

If the Isolated Preamplifier is sited close to a main power lead,

then move one or the other or preferably both as far apart as

possible.

Service Information

Fitting or Replacing Batteries

The type of batteries required are 9 volt, size PP3 (IEC designation

6LR61) of the alkaline type.

Locate the battery holders on the back panel of the amplifier (see

Fig. 7 below).  Lift the plastic covers.  Remove spent batteries and

connect new batteries to the connectors inside.  Place the batteries

inside the holders and close the lids.
