Leadwire Systems
This chart shows the correct electrode positions for some of the leads you’ll use most often—the five-leadwire, three-leadwire, and telemetry systems. The chart uses the abbreviations RA for the right arm, LA for the left arm, RL for the right leg, LL for the left leg, C for the chest, and G for the ground. Electrode positions In the three- and the five-leadwire systems, electrode positions for one lead may be identical to those for another lead. When that happens, change the lead selector switch to the setting that corresponds to the lead you want. In some cases, you’ll need to reposition the electrodes. Telemetry In a telemetry monitoring system, you can create the same leads as the other systems with just two electrodes and a ground wire.
