Hardware Connections
Caution. The following cautions apply:
The computer, monitor, preamp, and printer must be plugged into the isolation transformer. The preamp
and printer must be plugged into the A outlets and the computer and monitor (or computer and power strip
on units equipped with the optional external hard disk) must be plugged into the B outlets.
*Connect the optional external hard drive to the Stress system using a power strip. Refer to the instructions
provided with the external hard drive for proper connection.
*Do not plug any other components into the power strip on units equipped with the optional external hard
disk.
The isolation transformer must be plugged into a dedicated circuit.
The treadmill must be plugged into a dedicated circuit.
*You cannot connect both a laser printer and an optional external hard drive on the same system.
If the preamp is mounted on the treadmill handrail, it should be mounted perpendicular to the treadmill
belt to avoid damaging the unit when the treadmill is inclined.
Use of an uninterruptable power supply (optional)
If you use an uninterruptable power supply (UPS), insert it between the isolation transformer and the computer
and monitor. See the system configuration block diagram (Figure 1).
WARNING! Electronic interference.
The preamp can be mounted on the treadmill handrail, placed on the floor, or located in another
convenient spot. It should be installed in a location that removes the patient cable from close proximity
to power cords, transformers, or other power lines connected devices to minimize noise pick-up.
System configuration
The block diagram (Figure 1) shows a typical configuration and suggested locations for plugging in the various
system hardware components. Your system will be similar but may not be identical to the configuration shown. If
you have questions about connecting components, contact technical support.
WARNING! Electronic interference.
Grounding reliability can be achieved only when equipment is connected to a properly-grounded
receptacle. Ensure that the isolation transformer is connected to this type of electrical outlet.
