Changing Gold Spring Contacts

Instruction for the replacement of gold spring contacts inside the lid
of the MEA2100 headstage.

Only experienced persons should replace the gold spring contacts, because they are small
and lightweight buildings and can easily be destroyed!

Please follow the instructions with great care!

Switch off the MEA2100 headstage and unplug the device from power supply.

Define the pins which need to be changed with MC_Rack software. Count the gold spring contacts
in the lid of the amplifier to find the pin which need to be changed.

Please use the pin layout of a 120MEA200/30iR-Ti for the MEA2100-HS120, and the pin layout
of a standard 60MEA200/30iR-Ti for the MEA2100-HS60 and MEA2100-HS2x60 and the pin layout
of the MEA32-S12-L1-4 for the MEA2100-HS32.

Pin Layout: Headstage HS60 or Headstage HS2x60

Please insert the 60MEA200/30iR-Ti as recommended. The internal reference electrode has to
show to the left side, the writing “NMI MEA” to the right side when looking from the front of the
headstage with the articulation in the back. Open MC_Rack software, one instance for each MEA.
Add the default map in the display and you find the designated pin layout. Count the pins to find
the gold spring contact, you like to change.
