Pinnacle - 3-Channel Tethered Systems
Pinnacle`s three-channel tethered systems provide a cost-effective solution for researchers who prefer recording in a fixed EEG/EMG configuration. The data conditioning and acquisition system (DCAS) and preamplifier are preconfigured and ordered as a matching pair. Standard configurations include 2 EEG/1 EMG and 3 EEG; custom configurations are available upon request.

| 2 EEG/1 EMG (i) |
8200-K1-iSL | 8200-K1-iSE |
| 3 EEG | 8200-K1-SE3 | |
| 3 EEG (i) | 8200-K1-iSE3 |

For new users of our systems, Pinnacle recommends the purchase of an accessory kit for use with the three-channel hardware system. Kits include all necessary one-time purchases, such as testing equipment and enough surgical supplies to complete initial surgeries. Disposable items can also be ordered individually.

Signals are amplified and filtered at the head of the animal using our preamplifiers, which ensure the delivery of clean, artifact free data. Have your own amplification or acquisition system? Our analog adapters can be used to connect Pinnacle`s preamplifiers with third-party data collection systems.
MOUSE PREAMPLIFIERS
A seven-inch cable extends from the commutator and connects to the seven-inch cable of the preamplifier (14 inches total). Six insulated wires are banded together to create this lightweight cable. The mouse preamplifier connects to a headmount via a friction fit.
Metal mesh covering available upon request.
RAT PREAMPLIFIERS
The preamplifier electronics have an integrated 18-inch cable that connects to the commutator. The cable`s wires are protected by a metal spring coil. A P1 screw connector is used to secure the preamplifier to the head of the animal.
The data conditioning and acquisition system (DCAS) performs secondary amplification and filtering before sending data to Pinnacle`s Sirenia® Acquisition software for collection via a USB cable.
3 channels
User-selectable gain: 5,000 - 100,000 V/V
Software configurable low-pass filters: 11 Hz - 1000 Hz
4 TTL input/outputs
16-bit resolution
Adjustable sampling rates: 200 - 2000 Hz
High-pass filters: 0.5 Hz EEG, 10 Hz EMG for sleep; 1.0 Hz EEG for seizure
Pinnacle`s commutators provide excellent freedom of movement while maintaining clean and constant electrical signals. Custom modifications are also available for use with third-party cabling and connection schemes.
MOUSE COMMUTATOR
A low-torque commutator, which is mounted above the cage, allows for unencumbered freedom of movement.
RAT COMMUTATOR
A P1 commutator is mounted above the cage. The commutator`s two-plug setup allows for even rotation of the rotor.
Pinnacle`s preamplifiers provide differential amplification (x10 or x100) between electrodes. Our standard three and four-channel preamplifiers have two referential channels and one or two differential channels. Fully referential and fully differential versions are also available.
