AD box difficulty
Posted: Tue Jan 04, 2011 12:06 pm
Hi,
Our equipment has been working fine aside from a few noisy electrodes, but today when I went to bucket-test the electrodes, I had a lot of trouble. When I connected the electrode set to the connector (but not attached to a subject or salt water), the green light on the AD box came on while the blue one flickered, as expected. But as soon as I put the electrodes in the salt water, or touched them against a subject's skin (particularly CMS and DRL), both the blue and green lights flashed once and then disappeared, and would not come back on. I tried with several different sets of electrodes and the same thing happened each time.
I also tried plugging the electrodes into different connectors on the AD box, but the blue light just flickered and I couldn't get CM in range.
I am quite sure that the fibre-optic cable, battery, and electrodes (which are new) are all functioning fine. Do you know what this problem could be? I've never seen this before.
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Kath
