System Connection Diagram for PZ5 with RZ5D
Connecting Headstages and Electrodes
Analog signals are input via multiple mini-DB26 connectors on the PZ5 back panel. For high
impedance recordings, one or more Z-Series headstages can be connected to the input
connectors on the PZ5 back panel. For low impedance recordings, an S-BOX input splitter or LI-
CONN low-impedance connector can be used. Alternately, custom connectors and a breakout
box with a male mini-DB26 connector can be used. If using custom connectors, see
Digital signals are input via Intan connectors on the PZ5 back panel.
Powering ON/OFF
To turn the PZ5 on, move the toggle switch located on the back panel of the PZ5 to the ON
position.

All PZ5 analog input channels are organized into groups of 16 channel banks, with each bank
corresponding to a rear panel headstage connector (labeled alphabetically from bottom to top)
and a front panel LED display.
Digital input channels are associated with a digital board corresponding to a rear panel digital
input connector (labeled from bottom to top following, alphabetically, any analog input
connectors). Each digital board is a bank that can comprise 16, 32, 64, 96, or 128 channels,
depending on the connected Intan ampli
