This section looks at the layout of a PS-2010 and gives descriptions of the elements that
are present.
The unit is controlled by 4 light touch keys. They allow the user to select waveforms and
control the power for the unit. There is an audio click when a key is depressed.
There are 10 LEDs to provide the user with information about waveforms that are
generated; 1 LED for Lead Test confirmation and 1 LED for Low Battery Indication.

Universal Patient Lead Connectors
The 10 Universal Patient Lead Connectors allow for 12 lead ECG simulation with
independent outputs. AHA and IEC color-coded labels arelocatedonthefaceoftheunitto
aid in connecting the corresponding AHA and IEC Patient Leads.
High Level Output (+)
An additional Universal Patient Lead Connector is located on the top of the unit for
connecting the high level ECG output signal (1 Volt p-p ). The connection is between the
High Level (+) and RL/N (-) Patient Lead Connectors.
Waveform Selection
There are two keys and 10 LEDs in the Waveform Selection Control Section. The LEDs
indicate which waveform is generated. The keys sequentially select each
waveform. The microprocessor sends the stored waveform information of the selected
waveform to a Digital to Analog converter that generates an accurate analog

representation. This waveform is then sent through a resistor network, developing the
appropriate signals on the output terminals.
Lead Test Terminals
There are two test terminals on the top of the unit that allow for a quick test of the
continuity of the lead cables. Connecting one end of the cable to one terminal and the
other end to the other terminal will test the cable. If the cable is OK (less than 1000
ohms), the LEAD TEST LED in the lower left of the face will light.
Power Keys
The keys control the power for the unit.
Auto Power Off
The unit will automatically turn off after 10 minutes of no key activity to conserve the
battery.
To override this feature and keep the unit on continuously, depress the key twice
after the unit is on. This will keep the unit on until it is manually turned off. The “Low Batt”
LED will illuminate for 3 sec to indicate that the AutoPower Off feature has beenturnedoff.
Percent of Battery Life Indicator
The unit provides an indication of the Percent of battery life left on the 9 Volt Alkaline
Battery. An analog to digital converter monitors the battery voltage. Continuously holding
down the key will change the 10 waveform LEDs into a Percent of Battery Life
display, with each LED representing 10% intervals. The indicator will strobe up to the
5
present level and flash. This sequence will continue while the key is depressed.
Battery
The unit utilizes a 9 Volt Alkaline Battery in the rear battery compartment. When the unit
detects a LOW BATTERY, the LED in the lower right of the face will light, indicating the
need to change the battery.
Battery Eliminator Input –A 2.1mm receptacle is provided for theoptional9 VDC Battery
Eliminator power supply that may be used for continuous run applications. It bypasses the
internal battery when plugged in.
NOTE: The unit is shipped with a Red Battery Lock-Out plug installed into the line power
connector as shown below. Its purpose is topreventtheunitfrom accidentallybeing turned
on during handling and transport, subsequently depleting the battery. This plug must be
removed before any use.
