Installing the Electrode Into the Inner Socket
Note: If a suction socket is being created, completely sealing the electrode
cable exit helps maintain consistent suction. The cable exit can be sealed with
silicone adhesive. To seal the cable exit with silicone adhesive, apply a dime-
sized amount of it to the back of the electrode and about 5mm up the cable
protruding from the electrode. Do this before snapping the electrode into the
pocket. Wait 15-20 minutes for this to dry before testing suction.

INSTALLING ELEMENT INTO THE PROSTHESIS

Element has the following electrical output characteristics:
• EMG Signal (5V Envelope)
• Element is a pass-through for the battery, therefore output voltage matches
input battery voltage (5-10V)
Element is compatible with all terminal devices that accept the aforementioned
electrical outputs. Contact IBT for an up-to-date list of all compatible devices.
WARNING: For all setups below, ensure the battery is OFF before
plugging in any cables. Do not attempt to connect the Element output
cables in a way that is not specified. This could cause permanent
damage to the hand and Element.
