The Ultium Universal Analog Input Probe SmartLead is an accessory to the Ultium EMG sensor (#810) which accepts non-Noraxon sensors within the specifications required for the Analog Input Probe. This probe gives users the freedom to select the appropriate sensor for their application.
Analog Input SmartLead 1.2 Glossary of Terms Ultium Sensor -- A small individual radio transmitter typically worn on the body used to measure and transmit bio-potential signals (such as EMG) or motion related signals (such as acceleration). The Ultium Systems can accommodate up to 16 body worn Ultium Sensors in one network. Two Ultium Systems may be used in parallel, on separate RF networks, to accommodate up to 32 body worn sensors.

The device must be self-powered because the sensor does not provide power to the device attached to it. The input range of the SmartLead was initially +/-5V. However, Noraxon has increased this to +/- 20V in later revisions. Be sure to check the label on the connector of the SmartLead before measuring signals larger than +/-5V.
