3 Applying the sensors
Clean the places where you want to fix the PLM-electrodes with alcohol-pads.
3.1 Applying the sensor using the 2PLM sensor (Item No.: TOS110)
Connect two and three PLM-electrodes (e.g. SEN012), respectively, to the PLM-sensors. Apply the
sensors with the electrodes on the
Musculus Tibialis Anterior
of each leg at 50% of the height between
knee and ankle as shown in the figure below. Fix the cables with adhesive tape as strain relief to
ensure stable recordings (Figure 5). Plug in the cable into one of the AUX sockets of the
SOMNOtouch™ RESP. Due to the automatic recognition of the sensor-ID you can plug the PLM-
sensor arbitrarily in one of the two sockets (figure 5, right side). The second, free AUX socket may be
used for optional sensor applications.

3.2 Applying the sensors using the Effort + 1PLM Combi Sensor (Item No.:
TOS140)
Connect three PLM-electrodes (e.g. SEN012) to the PLM-sensor.
Apply the single sensor with the electrodes on the
Musculus Tibialis
Anterior
of the respective leg at 50% of the height between knee and
ankle (figure 6). Fix the cable with adhesive tape for strain relief to
ensure stable recordings (figure 5). Let the patient put on a t-shirt and
connect the effort belt over the t-shirt. Plug the cable of the PLM
sensor in the AUX socket of the effort belt. Now, plug the cable of the
effort belt in one of the AUX sockets of the SOMNOtouch
™ RESP.
Due to the automatic recognition of the sensor-ID you can plug the
PLM-sensor arbitrarily in one of the two sockets (figure 5, right side).
The second, free AUX socket may be used for optional sensor
applications.
