Z16 Neuronal Amplifier: assembly instruction guide 1. You will receive this box: 
2. Open the box: 
3. Take out the USB module bay: 
4. Start plugging in a BNC module on the first slot: 
5. Complete plugging in all the other moduli, reaching the following configuration: 
7. Take out the D-type connect cables: 
8. Set the individual gain of the amplifiers using the DIP-SWITCHES. For each D-type connector is: switches 1 to 4, 1st row = set gain for 1st BNC, 5 to 8 1st row = set gain for 2nd BNC switches 1 to 4, 2nd row = set gain for 3rd BNC, 5 to 8 2nd row = set gain for 4th BNC | | SW1 or SW5 | SW2 or SW 6 | SW3 or SW7 | SW4 or SW8 | | GAIN = 2.23 | OFF | OFF | OFF

9. Start connecting the D-type connectors with the 4 BNC connectors coming out: 
10. Start connecting the BNC connectors to the moduli: 
11. Complete connecting all the connectors, reaching the following configuration: 
12. Take out the analog power supply: plug it into the mains using the 220V 50/60Hz power cord and turn it on. The batteries will get recharged. The 2 red LEDs show the status of the charger: continuos light = charging, fast blinking = almost full, slow blinking = fully charged: 
13. Once charged you can disconnect the analog power supply from the mains and connected it to the acquisition system using the grey DYNER connector. Running the analog part of the system on batteries can effectively reduce the noise coming from the mains: 
14. Take out the headstage box: 
15. Connect the D-type connector of the headstage with the remaining one of the acquisition system: 
16. Plug the headstage (the white stripe on the headstage goes with the white stripe on the connector) : 
17. Plug the ground cable (the black cable with the red alligator clamp) in the analog power supply ground screw: 
18. The system should look like the following. The red alligator clamp should be connected to a stable ground point (e.g. to a Faraday's cage containing the all system) : 
19. Connect the digital power supply to the mains using the 220V 50/60 Hz power cord and connect the SCREW connector to the USB bay: 
20. Connect the USB-MINI-B connector to the USB bay: 
21. Connect the other side of the USB cable to the computer, the overall system shoud look like this:
