Heart Rate Module type 669

This module is used to determine frequency (rate) within the range 20 to 1000 beats/min. The input signal is provided either internally through the PLUGSYS bus system or externally directly through the built-in ECG amplifier or from an externally amplified signal. Heart rate and ECG can be recorded simultaneously.

Description

Input   selected by switch "INT/INPUT” (indication through LED)
a) internally: ‘INT” signal through the 96-pin connector from the PLUGSYS bus system
b) externally: “INPUT”
    • through the built-in ECG amplifier
     • from an external unit
  
Sensitivity  5 mV to 10 V  
ECG input:  0.1 mV to 25 mV 
Input filter  band-pass, bottom and top frequency limit selected separately within the ranges 0.2 / 1 / 5 Hz and 25 / 50 / 100 Hz 
Trigger operation  adjustable over a wide range through 10-turn potentiometer 
Range  3 ranges are available, selected by a switch:
• 200: 20 to 250 beats/min
• 400: 40 to 500 beats/min
• 800: 80 to 1000 beats/min
 
Indication  3½-digit LED display (0 to 1000 beats/min); additional trigger response check through LED in display field 
Outputs  • the analogue frequency signal is available at a BNC socket on the front panel (0 to 10 Volt) and through the connector on the PLUGSYS bus system
• the external input signal (±10 Volt) can also be transmitted to the PLUGSYS bus system (e.g. ECG)
 
Output filter  3 positions: 0.5 sec / 1 sec /5 sec, are provided for smoothing the recording 
Calibrating the heart rate  on the recorder, i.e. setting the rate (shown at the display) in relation to the pen deflection on the recorder. The recording range for heart rate is set by using the trimmers CAL and SUP. Adjustment is through 10-turn trimmers and the CAL/SUP value is shown by the LED display.
The choosen CAL values are switched to the display and to the output for feeding into the recorder by setting the CAL switch to “CAL”.
 
Calibrating the ECG output  after moving the "CAL ECG” switch from “Meas” to "0.3 mV" or "1mV" a square-wave signal of the corresponding amplitude is available at the ECG recording output. 
Signal output MUX  after pressing the MUX key the response signal is switched to the input of an optional digital voltmeter. The response signal can be checked on a display unit at the BNC output. The function is self-maintained; the module previously selected is switched off. 
Power supply  5 V, 450 mA, through connector from PLUGSYS bus system. 
Dimensions  module for 19 inch rack, width 8 E (40.5 mm), height 3 U (128.7 mm), depth Europe size (220 mm) 
Connector  DIN 41612, 96-pin VG 
Weight  400 g
