    In order to prevent damage, this locking lever must be released before adjustment of the dial. In 2021 the DS3 was internally updated with a new PCB that is fitted with surface mount The presence of an output pulse is indicated by an LED located next to the output sockets.

    3V, these are matched at 4µs each. The DS3 stimulator has an output pulse that has a square shape, having rise time of 1µs and fall time of 3µs into a resistive load and its presence is indicated by a front panel LED.

    When using the battery test terminals, it is desirable that the battery voltage is measured when The DS3 stimulator employs a total of 11 x 9V (PP3, IEC - 6R61) batteries using one of them operating with a repetitive trigger signal providing a duty cycle greater than 20% or by using to power only the control circuits and ten just for the output circuit.
