There are standard placements for a 3 and 5 lead ECG. A
three lead ECG recording can be made using an Actiwave
EEG/ECG 2 device and a 5 lead ECG recording using an
Actiwave EEG/ECG 4 device.

The Actiwave ECG devices do not need a ground
reference. In all these configurations the LL lead (Plain
Black) should be connected to the common (C) of the
Actiwave. The other channels can be derived in your EDF
file viewer by subtracting relevant channels. If the two
channels were measured as RA-LL and LA-LL, your EDF
software can then calculate RA-LA from them.
The electrode cables are marked with colour coded
sleeves to allow identification of channels with respect to
