3.2.1
Interlock Buttons (Coil Switches)
The coil has two interlock buttons located on its handle. The roles of the interlock buttons are to
prevent inadvertent triggering of the system. On no account must the interlock buttons on the
stimulating coil be permanently activated, by taping down, or any other method of fixing. Disabling
them could result in a serious injury as a result of an inadvertent discharge of the coil.
3.2.1.1
Magstim 200 2 & Bistim 2
In order to trigger the system at least one interlock button must be pressed in conjunction with
either the footswitch or yellow trigger button on the stimulator user interface.
3.2.1.2
Rapid 2 & Rapid 2 Plus
1
With the "coil switch option" turned off (refer to Magstim Rapid 2 user manual, MOP03-EN) at least
one interlock button must be pressed in conjunction with either the footswitch or yellow trigger
button on the stimulator user interface.
With the "coil switch option" turned on, each time the system is armed the user will have a
YES/NO option on the screen to ignore the switches before the system can trigger. When the
'YES' button is selected, a small yellow button will appear in the top right hand corner of the
system status panel to indicate 'ignore' option is active. It is important that those in the vicinity of
the system are made aware that the system is in this mode of operation, to ensure that
inadvertent triggering does not occur.
