Connection

1. If a foot switch is to be used, insert the pneumatic connector of the foot switch to the rear panel
Foot Switch Socket on the master unit of the Magstim Bistim² system
2. If an external triggering or recording device is to be used, connect it to the Isolated Interface on
the rear of the master unit of the Magstim Bistim² system
on the Isolated Interface.
3. Connect the lead marked "A" from the Bistim² Connecting Module to the coil output socket on the
master unit, connect the lead marked "B" from the Bistim² Connecting Module to the coil output
socket on the slave unit
4. Place the stimulating coil to be used into the coil holder on the right hand side of the stimulator*
as instructed in Figure 4.3.
5. Connect the stimulating coil to be used to the coil output socket on the Bistim² Connecting
Module
Note: There is locating key on the coil connector (Stimulating coil and Bistim² connecting module
leads A+B), which needs to be aligned with the corresponding receptor on the coil output socket.
It is then possible to rotate the outer collar of the coil connector clockwise, in order to lock the coil
to the stimulator/ Bistim² connecting module. (see Figure 4.4)

Care must be taken to attach the coil connector to coil output socket correctly (see Figure 4.5).
Failure to do so can cause damage to the connector pins and in severe cases, internal damage to
the coil and the stimulator.
