Figure 10. Insertion of the Merlin PSA
13. Connect the inductive telemetry wand into the blue port on the Merlin PSA and the ECG into
the black port.
14. Connect the Merlin Antenna to a USB port on the left side of the programmer using the
Merlin Antenna cable adapter (Model EX3190). See RF Communication Setup (page 14).
15. Turn on the Merlin PCS.
The blue LED on the Merlin PSA should be illuminated within 10 seconds, indicating the unit
is powered and operational. If it is not on, the PSA has not been placed correctly or the
Merlin PSA is not functioning properly.
16. Select Tools > PSA.
You are now ready to begin a PSA session. Consult the Merlin PSA on-screen help for
instructions on the Merlin PSA operation and maintenance, backup battery replacement,
and connections between the PSA, the patient cables, and the implanted leads.
NOTE: The Merlin PCS operates only one pacing system analyzer at a time. If both the
Merlin PSA Model EX3100 and the PSA Wand Model 3150 are connected to the Merlin PCS,
the Merlin will only operate the Merlin PSA, and the PSA Wand will not function.
