Muscle (EMG) Sensor - Platinum Package

Note: Item received my differ from the one shown above.

OBSOLETE - Replaced by Muscle Sensor v2

Description:This sensor will measure the filtered and rectified electrical activity of a muscle; outputing 0-Vs Volts depending the amount of activity in the selected muscle, where Vs signifies the voltage of the power source.

Features:

• Fully soldered and assembled circuit board
• Power supply voltage: min. +/-5V, max. +/-18V (Check out our new power supply)
• Size: H 0.94 in. W 1.69 in. - Half the size of the Gold Package!

Dimensions: 0.94x1.69" - Half the size of the Gold Package!

Wiring Instructions:

1. To use this sensor, the user must have three electrodes connected to the subjects body.
2. The reference electrode should be placed on an inactive section of the body, such as the bony portion of the elbow, shin or forarm.  This electrode should be connected to the Ref pin signifying Reference.
3. The two other electrodes should be placed along the muscle selected to be measured.The second electrode should be placed along the mid length of the muscle; this electrode should be connected to the pin M.Mid signifying mid muscle.
4. The last electrode should be placed at the end of the muscle and connected to the pin M.End signifying end of muscle.
5. Finally, connect pin Vout to an analog input pin of your microcontroller.

WARNING: As an inherent risk associated with electrical component work, improper use of this sensor could cause harm to the subject. If underage, do not use without adult supervision.

WARNING: This sensor is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation treatment, or prevention of disease, in a man or other animals.
