Problems

The Status indicator fails to light when the software is started, or the
Bridge Amp… command does not appear where it should

The I

2

C cable or one or more BNC-to-BNC cables from the Bridge

Amp to the PowerLab are not connected, have been connected
incorrectly (to the wrong input, for instance), or are loose.

•

Turn everything off. Check to see that all cables are ﬁrmly inserted
and screwed in. Make sure the input is the same channel from
which you expect to use the Bridge Amp in the software. Ensure
no other equipment is attached to the particular channel of the
Powerlab from which you expect to see the Bridge Amp. Start up
again to see if this has ﬁxed the problem.

You are using an early version of LabChart or Scope.

•

Upgrade to the latest version of the software. Contact your
ADInstruments representative for information.

The BNC or I

2

C cable is faulty.

•

Replace the cable and try again. Immediately label all cables
proved faulty so that you don’t use them again by accident.

The Bridge Amp is faulty.

•

This is the least likely event. If the Bridge Amp will not work
properly after the previous measures, then try using it on another
PowerLab. If the Bridge Amp’s Status indicator fails to light with a
second PowerLab, the Bridge Amp may be faulty. Contact your
ADInstruments representative to arrange for repairs.

One or more overload indicators glow amber

If a light glows amber (yellow), it indicates some fault such as a short
circuit, a badly wired bridge transducer, or an excitation overload.

•

Check to see that all transducer connections are ﬁrm.

•

Check for short circuits and badly wired bridge transducers, by
changing them around, connecting new ones, and so on.

•

Check transducer impedances. In particular, a low-impedance
Grass transducer (250

Ω

or so) may suffer overload if the

excitation is too high.
