142  Stratos LV/LV-T Technical Manual   

In order to avoid programming errors with the Stratos LV, always 
connect the leads to the following ports: 

 

 

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.   

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.
