These channels are shared with other parameters (temperature,
battery, voltage, ground) that could become inaccurate with excess
wander from biopotential.
• DSI suggests using channels 1 and 3 for EEG or EMG
Telemetry Module:
o Portion of the transmitter that transmits the data to the receiver. This also
is designed to be replaceable since it houses the battery as well. The IS-1
lead is also connected to this module with the ability to disconnect the IS-
1 from the sensing module and replace the telemetry module. This
module is also houses the frequency designation that is broadcasted to the
receiver.
o Can be in two different modes: free-run and normal. Free-run mode is the
ability to turn on the telemetry module without having the sensing module
attached. The tone heard should be lower than the normal mode. Normal
mode is the mode needed to be in to collect data.
Matching Transmitter with RPC-2 Receiver
The 4ET SA transmitter must be used with the RPC-2 receiver regardless if
animals are pair or single housed. It will have two Ethernet cables coming out the back
of the receiver to the matrix as seen in figure 1. Two jacks on the data exchange matrix
will also be needed. Consequently this means that there will be two sampling slots
needed in the software even though there is only one receiver. It will be necessary to
connect both cables coming from the same RPC-2 receiver into the same matrix.
However it won’t be necessary to connect the cables in adjacent jacks. The two carrier
lights on the front of the receiver will be indicative of which signal is being picked up.
The two power lights on the front will be illuminated when the receiver is getting power
for both frequencies to be detected.
The RPC-2 receiver can be used to monitor from one animal or two animals. If
monitoring from two animals it will be necessary to house two animals with different
frequencies. Additionally with pair housed animals a 2.5” spacer is needed in between
the receiver and the cage to avoid crosstalk between the animals. This spacer will be
included with the purchase of an RPC-2. When animals are paired housed the RPC-2
receivers are going to need further separation between receivers, about 30 inches should
