GROUND connector 

Banana  plug  providing  ground.  The  plug  is  connected  internally  to  the  shields  of  the  BNC 
connectors. 
 
(4)

 

AUX A connector 

BNC connector for a user defined signal. Standard is not connected. 
 
(5)

 

DC OUT connector 

BNC  connector  providing  the  measured  DC  signal  with  a  fixed  amplification  of  10.  This 
signal  is  not  filtered.  Use  of  this  connector  allows,  for  instance,  measuring  the  signal  AC 
(signal is provided at the front panel) while watching the offset simultaneously.  
 
(6)

 

NOTCH ON A switch 

Switch that enables (upper position) or disables (lower position) the NOTCH filter (optional). 
 

2.5. 

Headstage (Option) 

 

 

 

Figure 3: headstage (optional) and electrode holder (optional) and of the EXT-02F 

Headstage Elements 

 

BNC connector for the electrode holder (measuring electrode) 

REF: SMC connector for the reference electrode 

GND: Ground connector 

holding bar 

 
On  request,  P

EL

  can  be  implemented  using  1  mm  or  2  mm  banana  jacks  or  using  SMC 

connectors. 
 
Very Important: EXT-02F headstages are always labeled “EXT-02” (see Figure 3) and must 
not be exchanged with headstages from other npi electronic EXT amplifiers, e.g. the modular 
EXT-10 2F or EXT-10C which are labeled “EXT”! 
 
Also  Important:  The  shield  of  the  BNC  connector  of  the  headstage  is  connected  to  driven 
shield, and must not be connected to ground.
