OFFSET potentiometer 

Potentiometer for OFFSET compensation for the measured potential in DC mode. 
The  RANGE  is  set  by  switch  #5.  The  analog  BALANCE  monitor  (#1)  displays 
the OFFSET in the range of 

±

30 mV, and can be used for optimal cancellation of 

the OFFSET. 

 
Note:  The  middle  position  corresponds  to  0  V  OFFSET  since  negative  as  well  as  positive 
OFFSETS can be cancelled.

THRESHOLD % potentiometer 

Potentiometer  for  setting  the  THRESHOLD  in  %  of  the  value  set  by 
INPUT MODE switch #8 (0.5 V, 1 V, 2 V). For example, if the INPUT 
MODE  switch  #8  is  set  to  2  V  and  the  THRESHOLD  potentiometer  is 
set  to  50%,  the  resulting  THRESHOLD  for  monitoring  the  OUTPUT 
signal will be at 1 V, i.e. only signals greater than 1 V will be converted 

into a sound (NOISE). With an amplification of 10000 this correspondents to a signal 
of 100 µV at the electrode.

INPUT MODE switch 

Switch for selecting the INPUT MODE. 

 
 
 
PITCH: 

The voltage of the INPUT signal is converted into a tone with a 
frequency equivalent to the amplitude of the INPUT voltage.  

OFF: 

The audio monitor is switched OFF 

NOISE: 

The  voltage  of  the  INPUT  signal  is  high  pass  filtered, 
amplified and transduced to a sound.  

2 V, 1 V, 0.5 V: 

The  audio  monitor  works  in  NOISE  MODE  with 
THRESHOLD  function.  100%  THRESHOLD  is  set  to  the 
selected value (2 V, 1 V or 0.5 V) (see also #7).

PHONES connector 

Stereo  jack  connector  for  PHONES  or  an  external  amplifier  (e.g.  active 
speakers). 

 
 
(11)

 

VOLUME potentiometer 

Potentiometer  for  setting  the  VOLUME  of  the  internal  speaker  or  PHONES 
linked to connector #9. Turning clockwise will turn up the sound. 

 
 
For EXT-02F/2 two channel amplifier only 

SOURCE switch 

Switch for selecting the channel to be monitored (channel A or channel B)
