    2.1. General System Description / Operation The npi EPMS-07 is a modular system for processing of bioelectrical signals in electrophysiology. The system is housed in a 19” rack-mount cabinet (3U) has room for up to 7 plug-in units. The plug-in units are connected to power by a bus at the rear panel.

    Note: The chassis of the PWR-03D is connected to protective earth, and it provides protective earth to the EPMS-E housing if connected. Figure 3: Left: PWR-03D front panel view Right: PWR-03D rear panel view. Note: This power supply is intended to be used with npi EPMS-E systems only. version 2.2 page 5...

    BF–48DGX User Manual 2.7. System Grounding EPMS-07/EPMS-03 The 19" cabinet is grounded by the power cable through the ground pin of the mains connector (= protective earth). In order to avoid ground loops the internal ground is isolated from the protective earth. The internal ground is used on the BNC connectors or GROUND plugs of the modules that are inserted into the EPMS-07 housing.

    3.2. BF-48DGX System Description The BF-48DGX differential amplifier / filter is a plug-in unit for the npi EPMS-07 modular system. The BF-48DGX is designed to amplify and filter small bio-electrical signals. The input voltage range is ±12 V. Two overload-LEDs indicate if the linear region of the amplifier is exceeded.

    The position of the GAIN switch and of the FILTER switch(es) can be read from the respective monitor outputs (1V / step). 3.3. Signal Flow Diagram The signal is passed through the BF-48DGX as shown below. 3.4. Description of the Front Panel Figure 5: BF-48DGX front panel view version 2.2...
  • Page 9 BF–48DGX User Manual In the following description of the front panel elements each element has a number that is related to that in Figure 5. The number is followed by the name (in uppercase letters) written on the front panel and the type of the element (in lowercase letters). Then, a short description of the element is given.
