2•System Overview ACQ-7700 / Type 3 Installation Manual
POWER SOURCE
This instrument is intended to operate indoors from a power source that does not apply more than 250 volts
RMS between the supply conductors or between either supply conductor and ground. A protective ground
connection by way of the grounding conductor in the power cord is required. If the unit is mounted in a
permanent installation (i.e. rack-mounted), then the user MUST provide access to the plug OR connect the
instrument to a circuit with a user accessible breaker or power switch. The detachable power cord is the means
by which the mains are disconnected.
PROPERLY GROUND THE INSTRUMENT
This instrument is grounded through the power cord. It is a Class 1 Device. Grounding reliability can only be
achieved when the equipment is connected to a hospital grade receptacle. Use only the power cord and
connector specified for your instrument. Use only a power cord that is in good condition.
Upon loss of the protective-ground connection, all accessible conductive parts (including knobs and controls
that may appear to be insulating) may render an electric shock.
USE PROPER TEST LEADS AND CABLES
Test leads and/or interconnect cables may carry HAZARDOUS live voltages. They must be examined regularly
for wear. Worn leads or cables should be replaced.
The amplifier has been designed and tested for protection against the effects of the discharge of a cardiac
defibrillator. For safe operation, use only the cables provided with the amplifier.
ECG ELECTRODE PLACEMENT
The user should assure that any electrodes used, including the neutral electrode, do not contact any conductive
parts, including earth.
Whenever a defibrillator is used, assure that the leads are placed on the appropriate places on the subject. Leads
should never be placed on grounded surfaces. Verify that defibrillator leads are NOT placed directly on the
ECG electrodes.
DO NOT USE WITH HF SURGICAL EQUIPMENT
It is imperative that the ECG electrodes be removed from the subject before using any HF surgical equipment.
This equipment DOES NOT provide protective means against burns when used with HF surgical equipment.
SUMMATION OF RISK CURRENT
The amplifier has been designed and tested to meet safe leakage current specifications when attached to the
subject. Any additional equipment added to the subject may increase leakage. The operator should be aware of
the possible summation of additional leakage currents when additional equipment is connected to the subject.
USE WITH PACEMAKERS
The operator should be aware of any possible interactions or safety hazards when the amplifier is used in
conjunction with cardiac pacemakers and other stimulant devices. The manufacturer of these devices should be
consulted for additional information.

EMI/RFI
The amplifier has been tested to meet EMI/RFI susceptibility and radiation standards. However, the user should
be aware of possible electromagnetic interactions between this device and other devices in the same area and
correct the situation as needed.
WARNINGS FOR AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL
Dangerous voltages exist at several points in this instrument. To avoid personal injury, do not touch exposed
connections or components while power is on. Disconnect power before removing protective panels, soldering,
or replacing components.
USE THE PROPER FUSE
To avoid fire hazard, use only a fuse of the correct type, voltage rating, and current rating as specified in the
parts list for your instrument.
DO NOT OPERATE WITHOUT COVERS AND PANELS INSTALLED
To avoid personal injury and equipment damage, the user should disconnect power before removing covers,
panels or any grounding straps. Reinstall covers, panels, and any grounding straps before reconnecting power.

4•System Overview ACQ-7700 / Type 3 Installation Manual
System Overview
ACQ-7700 Acquisition Interface Unit
The ACQ-7700 Acquisition Interface Unit is one of the available acquisition
interfaces for the DSI/Ponemah Life Science Suite (LSS). An acquisition interface
unit interfaces signals into the Ponemah Physiology Platform (P3 Plus).
The ACQ-7700 has a modular design which allows the user to easily expand the
number of available acquisition inputs to a maximum of 128, through the installation
of various signal conditioners. The portable, rugged chassis is perfect for interfacing
to a laptop, allowing for system mobility. The ACQ-7700 interfaces to the computer
by an Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP). This is the only required user connection to the
host computer. The aggregate sampling rate may be affected by the computers
performance and the complexity of the real time analysis being performed.
The recommended orientation of the ACQ-7700 is flat on a table with the grill of the
filter on the bottom.
ACQ-7700 Signal Conditioners
The ACQ-7700 can accept up to six signal conditioners that are fully programmable.
These signal conditioners are inserted into guided slots and secured by a positive
threaded latching system.
Signal conditioner setup is performed using a graphic user interface. All parameters
can be programmed directly in your test parameter units, reducing potential data
conversion errors. All setup parameters can be saved as a logical protocol name for
later recall, saving set up time. Because the system is completely integrated, these
parameter names and units are automatically transferred and utilized throughout the
system including all monitoring and analysis. The P3 Plus software handles all
control and communication with the ACQ-7700 signal conditioners. You do not
have to load any additional software. When the system is started, the P3 Plus
software will automatically interrogate the system and identify the ACQ-7700 signal
conditioners and their slot placement.

System Requirements
The system requirements for the ACQ-7700 are the same as the P3 Plus application
with the following differences.
•PCI EPP Interface Card - part number P01926.
•Your choice of instrumentation signal conditioning modules and analysis
modules.
Please view the P3 Plus Manual for system requirements.
