TT Sensor Isolator

Functional Description

1. Overview

There are two parts of the Sensor Isolator circuit which are isolated from each other:

• the examinee-applied part.
• the mains-connected part.

To operate the Sensor Isolator, each area requires a separate power source:

Client-applied area

• 9V battery (standard PP3)

Mains-connected area (powered from either of the two inputs)

• 9VDC power adaptor
• 9VDC via DB-15 from external system

The Sensor Isolator has 4 inputs. These inputs can be connected to any Thought Technology sensors, such as, but not limited to, EMG, EKG or EEG sensors.

The Sensor Isolator has 4 outputs. The output range is 2.8V ± 1.5V.

These outputs can be connected to a data acquisition system in two ways:

• via the two stereo jacks, or
• via the DB-15 connector (interface cable provided with the unit).

2. Overview

All of the outputs are on the same circuits and the grounds are connected together :

• If connecting several outputs to the same device, only one ground connection may be required.
• If connecting outputs to more than one device ensure that no significant voltage exists between device grounds. Otherwise ground loop currents could flow through the Sensor Isolator, which could affect signal integrity or, in extreme cases, damage equipment.

2.1 Jacks

The jacks of the Sensor Isolator are 3.5mm stereo female mini-jacks.

Jack #1 is connected to Output #1 and #2

Jack #2 is connected to Output #3 and #4

2.2 DB-15 connector

The DB-type output connector of the Sensor Isolator is a DB-15 female.

NOTE: each interfaced system will require its own cable.
Therefore we provide only a cable with BNC connectors or the pigtail cable, which are the most common ones.

Set-Up for T9405 Sensor Isolator

1. Power

• 1.1 Powering the Examinee-Applied Area

The examinee-applied area is powered by a 9V battery.

Open the battery door on the back of the unit, by applying a gentle pressure and pushing it in the direction shown by the arrow:

• 1.2 Powering the Mains-Applied Area

The mains-applied area can be powered either by the provided power adaptor or by the interfaced system via the DB15 connector.

Connect the power cable to the power connector located on the mains-applied area front panel.

No switch needs to be turned on.

For powering via the DB15, please read the previous section regarding the DB15 connector.

2. Cables

Here is an overview of the set-up.

2.1 Connecting a Sensor Cable

When connecting a sensor to the Sensor Isolator, make sure to properly line up the guiding dot on the top of the plug with the notch in the device's input socket.

2.2 Connecting a DB-15 cable

The DB15 connector is located on the mains-applied area front panel.

2.3 Connecting an audio jack

The audio jacks are located on the mains-applied area front panel, between the power connector and the DB15 connector.
