System Grounding EPMS-07 The 19" cabinet is grounded by the power cable through the ground pin of the mains connector (= protective earth).
3.2. System Description The ION-01M amplifier is a plug-in unit for the npi EPMS-07 modular system. It was designed for recording signals from ionsensitive microelectrodes. The system consists of a main amplifier system and a small headstage with differential input.

Electrode connection Figure 7: Equivalent circuit of ionsensitive measurement The principle of operation is shown in Figure 7. Two electrodes, an “active” ion exchanger sample electrode (+) and a reference electrode (-), which are connected to high impedance buffers (input resistance better than 10 Ω) in the headstage, are required for detecting signals...
