Connect Oscilloscope across the dummy load. Be sure the scope can measure up to 500 volts. If not, construct a high impedance divider such as in fig. 3.2. optional: if available use 10x probe instead fig. 3.2 CAUTION: HIGH VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT DURING TESTING. EXERCISE CAUTION TO PREVENT INJURY. SOMATICS, LLC REV: 3.1 09/15/2015...

The sound system consists of a 3" speaker and a volume potentiometer mounted on the rear panel. The amplifier sums up the various sources of warning signals as well as the EEG modulated sound. The EEG sound is the only one that can be controlled by the SOMATICS, LLC REV: 3.1 09/15/2015...

Volts. (It may help to temporarily set the oscillator to 30 Hertz but remember to reset it back down to 10 Hz when finished with adjusting of the volts). Connect all 4 channels to the oscillator according to fig. 3.7. Press the START/STOP button and let the system SOMATICS, LLC REV: 3.1 09/15/2015...
