The Bio Amp Cable

Connections are made to the Bio Amp and Dual Bio Amp inputs using the
supplied Bio Amp cable and leads. The cable plugs into the six-pin input
socket on the front panel: a notch in the plug ensures that polarity is correct.
Only the supplied Bio Amp cable and leads should be used. Other cables may
not meet safety requirements. Note that the single Bio Amp and Dual Bio
Amp have different pin arrangements, so their Bio Amp cables are not
interchangeable.
The single Bio Amp is supplied with a 3-lead Bio Amp cable and lead wires.
The Dual Bio Amp is supplied with a 5-lead Bio Amp cable and lead wires; it
uses a shared ground signal for its Bio Amp inputs. The supplied cables are of
the type used for ECG or EMG studies: Tronomed D-1340 or Tronomed D-
1540 cables respectively. The cable has a yoke with three or five sockets for the
lead wires. Note that the active pins of a shielded cable are those closest to the
label.
