    2.1. General System Description / Operation The npi EPMS-07 is a modular system for processing of bioelectrical signals in electrophysiology. The system is housed in a 19” rack-mount cabinet (3U) has room for up to 7 plug-in units. The plug-in units are connected to power by a bus at the rear panel.

    Note: The chassis of the PWR-03D is connected to protective earth, and it provides protective earth to the EPMS-E housing if connected. Figure 3: Left: PWR-03D front panel view Right: PWR-03D rear panel view. Note: This power supply is intended to be used with npi EPMS-E systems only. version 2.0 page 5...

    DPA-2FS User Manual 2.7. System Grounding EPMS-07/EPMS-03 The 19" cabinet is grounded by the power cable through the ground pin of the mains connector (= protective earth). In order to avoid ground loops the internal ground is isolated from the protective earth. The internal ground is used on the BNC connectors or GROUND plugs of the modules that are inserted into the EPMS-07 housing.
  • Page 7: Dpa-2Fs Differential Amplifier / Filter Module

    The DPA-2FS differential amplifier/filter is a plug-in unit for the npi EPMS-07 modular system. The DPA-2FS is designed to amplify and filter small bio-electrical signals. The input voltage range is ±12 V, the inputs are protected up to 15 V. 2 overload-LEDs indicate if the linear region of the amplifier is exceeded.

If the baseline is not zero even if the input is grounded, this offset can be compensated independently for the two GAIN stages. Compensation procedure: Set the input coupling switches to zero to ground the inputs, and set the HIGH PASS FILTER to 400 Hz.
