– Create slack in the digit wires, so that the bellows assembly flexes without causing tension in the digit wires.
(Fig. 36)
NOTE: if there is not enough slack, flexing the bellows may lead to failure of the digit wire connection.
Removing the Digit Wires
To remove a digit wire, pull the connector piece to remove the digit wires of a specific digit.
Connecting the Electrodes to the Wristband
– When digit wires are connected, slide electrode cables through the aperture at the distal end of the bellows
(Fig. 37) .
– Connect the electrodes cables as shown in the mapping (Fig. 34) .
– Mate the connectors by aligning the mating axes of both connectors and then pushing them together. An
audible “click” will confirm a fully mated connection.
– Route the signal cables inserted in signal 1 position to avoid excessive bending of the connector (Fig. 38) .
– Check cables are tension-free when bellows is fully flexed (Fig. 36) .
– Check that digits and electrodes are all functioning correctly before completing the next stage.
Removing the Electrode Cables
Use the extraction tool supplied to remove electrode cables when necessary.
Insert the end portion of the tool under the connector flanges (Fig. 39) and pull off vertically, in the direction of the
connector mating axis.
FSR PCB
– If using an FSR wristband, insert the FSR cables through the aperture at the socket end of the bellows
(Fig. 40) .
– Insert the pairs of wires into the FSR receivers using the same method as inserting the digit wires. Ensure
click is heard indicating secure connection.
– Remove the FSR wires the same way as removing the digit wires.
Completing the Wristband Assembly
– Carefully reposition the wired PCB into the upper and lower collar. Screw into position to secure
(Fig. 33, 41).
NOTE: take care not to damage the PCB.
– Slide the bellows cover back into position over the bellows.
– Bond the bellows cover to the bellows at either end using a few spots of superglue.
– Reattach the bellows by pushing the connector from the bellows into the connector from the wristband
(Fig. 42) .
– Insert the two M2.5 screws (Fig. 43) .
– Attach the wristband to the socket using the M4 socket button head screw.
7. DIGIT COVERS
Attaching the Digit Covers
A digit cover must be used for each digit. Digit covers can be easily slided onto a digit.
The same applies for the thumb and thumb cover.
Make sure covers are fully to the tip of each digit.
CLEANING
The i-Digits wristband, digits, cover and electrode surface can only be cleaned with a soft damp cloth and mild
soap.
Clean the electrode surface regularly.
Do not use any strong chemicals.
