Connecting the Stratos LV with the IS-1 Connector
In order to avoid programming errors with the Stratos LV, always
connect the leads to the following ports:
Figure 10. Connecting the Leads
Stratos CRT-Ps have a self-sealing header. Refer to the
following steps when connecting a lead(s) to the CRT-P.
First, confirm that the setscrew(s) is not protruding into the
connector receptacle. To retract a setscrew, insert the enclosed
torque wrench through the perforation in the self-sealing plug at
an angle perpendicular to the lead connector until it is firmly
placed in the setscrew.
CAUTION
Setscrew Adjustment Back-off the setscrew(s) prior to
insertion of lead connector(s) as failure to do so may result in
damage to the lead(s), and/or difficulty connecting lead(s).
Cross Threading Setscrew(s) – To prevent cross
threading the setscrew(s), do not back the setscrew(s)
completely out of the threaded hole. Leave the torque wrench
in the slot of the setscrew(s) while the lead is inserted.
Rotate the wrench counterclockwise until the receptacle is clear
of obstruction. Then connect the pacing leads as described
below.
