ECG AMPLIFIER
Name of the
01
Equipment

 Electrocardiogram Amplifier records electrical activity

generated by the heart.
 The ECG amplifier can readily designed using the
instrumentation amplifier as the principal building block.
Active filters with a lower corner frequency of 0.05 Hz
02 Introduction
and an upper corner frequency of 100 Hz are also
typically added.
 ECG amplifiers are needed in many applications such as
monitoring in cardiac intensive-care units, where safety
and protection are of paramount importance.
03 Purpose  The equipment is used to amplify ECG signal.
1. Connect the instrument to the mains and Switch ON.
2. Now switch ON CRO and Put the CRO on storage mode.
3. Mode switch at DC position. Time/Div Knob on the mS
Operating Division.
04 Procedure of 4. Voltage / Div Knob on the 5V. Now connect the CRO to
Equipment the instrument.
5. Check the ground, if not proper make arrangement for
that.
6. Connect the electrodes to system.
 7. Note down the observation in laboratory record note
book as per the aim of experiments.
1. Experiment table should be cleaned and should not be
surrounded with any other unwanted materials.
2. As the experiment deals with heavier components
handle all items carefully.
3. Utmost care should be taken in handling the CRO
instruments.
05 Safety Precautions 4. Apply the proper operating voltage and input signal
voltage as per the specification of components used in a
circuit.
5. Hold the plug with fingers on the outside of the plug and
away from the pins.
6. Must wear shoe and tuck in shirts to avoid electrical
shock
1. The instruments for experiment collected from Lab In-
charge are to be returned with proper entry in
After Completion of
06 Issue/Return register.
Experiment
2. The experiment table and the equipment used should
be cleaned for any unwanted materials.
SAFETY RULES ARE YOUR BEST TOOLS.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE RIGHT JOB IN RIGHT WAY.
