Service
The SIM911 BJT Preamp, part of Stanford Research Systems' Small
Instrumentation Modules family, is a low noise general purpose volt-
age preamplifier with bandwidth from DC to 1 MHz.
Under certain conditions, the SIM911 may prove to be unsafe for
applications involving human subjects. Incorrect grounding, com-
ponent failure, and excessive common-mode input voltages are ex-
amples of conditions in which the instrument may expose the subject
to large input currents. Therefore, Stanford Research Systems does
not recommend the SIM911 for such applications.
Do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modifi-
cations to this instrument.
The SIM911 is a single-wide module designed to be used inside the
SIM900 Mainframe. Do not turn on the power until the module is
completely inserted into the mainframe and locked in place.
