Output switches
and indicators
Along the front panel, the stimulation module outputs are
turned on and off using an output switch. There are two or
four gray output switches and one red EMERGENCY STIM
button. There are two or four green LEDs associated with
each channel which indicate when each output has been
enabled. There are two or four amber LEDs on the front
panel to indicate that pacing has been initiated and voltage
may be present at the output connector. The output
switches, which are normally left ON during clinical use,
provide a means to physically disconnect the patient from
the stimulator. The output is enabled when the gray output
button is pressed in.
When the amber LED is flashing it indicates that output is
present when the output switch is turned ON and the Green
LED is turned on.
EMERGENCY
STIM BUTTON
The EMERGENCY STIM button is used to provide constant
pacing to the patient through the output of all channels.
This output is a 1000 msec cycle length, 10 mA pacing
signal that is activated when the red button is pressed. This
pacing function is described in detail in later sections in this
manual.
When the EMERGENCY STIM function is activated, there is
a green LED to indicate that the red EMERGENCY STIM
buttton has been depressed.
!
WARNING
The EMERGENCY STIM button enables potentially hazardous
voltage to be presented to all output channels without the use
of controlled setup. When the EMERGENCY STIM button and
any of the channel output buttons are pressed in, output is
delivered through the channel connectors as soon as the
device is AC powered.
