Precision Adjustable Shocker

Precision Animal Shocker (Manual settings only)

 

Product Number: H13-15

This research grade, precision feedback, current-regulated shocker is totally isolated (floating output) for operator and subject safety, as well as isolation from other sources of electrical stimulation such as physiological stimulators that may be in use concurrently.  Isolation is achieved by using an isolated transformer along with optical isolation of the inputs from the control equipment.

The unit can function as a two-pole (bipolar) current reversal "square wave" output, or as a scanner distributing the polarity reversal across an 8-pole output for grid floor applications.  Mode selection is made by a switch on the back.

The grid outputs are direct "Form C" semiconductor switches. The "off" grids have zero resistance so the subject receives the same current regardless of the number of grids contacted.

*require the purchase of one of the shocker cables listed below (H93-series)

   

Programmable Shocker

Precision Regulated Animal Shocker (Manual and Programmable settings)

 

Product Number: H13-16

This research grade, precision feedback, current-regulated shocker is totally isolated (floating output) for operator and subject safety, as well as isolation from other sources of electrical stimulation such as physiological stimulators that may be in use concurrently. Isolation is achieved by using an isolated transformer along with optical isolation of the inputs from the control equipment.

The unit can function as a two-pole (bipolar) current reversal "square wave" output, or as a scanner distributing the polarity reversal across an 8-pole output for grid floor applications. Mode selection is made by a switch on the back.

The H13-16 may be programmed from 0 to 5 milliamps in 20 microamp increments by a 0-2.5 Volt signal via the Programmable. Input on the back of the case.  The signal is generated by the Graphic State Notation control program and comes from the Programmable. Output on the back of the Habitest Linc or you may also use a D/A converter output.

The grid outputs are direct "Form C" semiconductor switches. The "off" grids have zero resistance so the subject receives the same current regardless of the number of grids contacted.

Shock Level Tester

Shock Level Tester

Product Number: A13-16

The A13-16 Shock Level Tester is a simple dummy load that provides two output options for verification of current (amps).  The first is a rudimentary rectified DC output that can be used with any standard volt meter. This output will be consistent with Ohms Law, V (volts) = I (amps) * R (ohms), where the internal resistance load used is 10 kilohms.  A second available output is specifically for use with an oscilloscope and provides for more rigorous verification. This unit is intended for verifying shock current values equal or greater than 0.5 mA.

 

   

Shock Distributor Board

Shock Distributor Board for Rat Hub / Runway

 

Product Number: H93-30

This Shock Distributor board is used for distributing shock from the H13-15 or H13-16 shockers to hubs and runways.  It accepts H93-01-25 and H93-01-50 cables from the shockers and distributes the shock to runways and hubs via the H93-31-32 or to the test and shuttle cages via another H93-01-25 or H93-01-50 shock cable for parallel connections of all arena and runway elements in a single-subject environment.

Product Number: H93-01-25, H93-01-50, H93-13-32, H93-19-25, H93-19-50,  H93-31-32

H93-01-25 & H93-01-50

A 25 foot (7.62 m) / 50 foot (15.24 m), 8-conductor ribbon cable with a connector on one end for connection to the output of the shocker and a connector on the other end for the grid floors of the operant test cage, the shock transfer board on shuttle cages, or the H93-30 Shock Distributor Board for runways and hubs.

H93-13-32

This 32in 8-Conductor Jumper passes through the cubicle to the grid floor when a cage is used in a cubicle. It is also used to connect the hub/runway distributor board (H93-30) to test-cage type grid connector (same connector as H93-01-25 and H93-01-50).

 

 

 

H93-19-25 & H93-19-50

A 25-foot (7.62 m) / 50 foot (15.24 m), 2-conductor cable with an 8-pin connector on one end for connection to the output of the H13-15 or H13-16 shockers when used in the two pole mode.  The other end of the cable has universal clips to connect to a variety of attached cutaneous electrodes, lickometers, or other devices used for aversive stimulation.

 

 

H93-31-32

This 32" Hub/Runway Cable is used to connect the hub/runway distributor board (H93-30) to hubs and runways with grid floors.
