Introduction
This User Manual contains information to help with the correct installation and basic use of the Millar
Mouse Telemetry System. It is strongly recommended that you also visit our online Knowledge
Center for more information and to view instructional videos showing telemeter implantation and
recommendations for general use and care of your system. www.millar.com/knowledge-center
The Millar Mouse Telemetry system uses a unique and efficient patented inductive power transfer
system for making long-term recordings in conscious mice (>22 g). No battery is required to
wirelessly record high quality biological signals 24/7. Telemetered mice can be housed in a single
room without the need for shielding as each mouse telemeter communicates with a tBase on one
of 40 independent transmission frequencies (Channels).
The system comprises of a telemeter, tBase and Configurator System. The mouse biopotential
telemeter measures the electrical potential (ECG, EMG, EEG) between the positive and negative
leads and transmits the data wirelessly to the tBase. The tBase provides wireless power to the
telemeter, acts as the receiver for the digital data (sampled at 2 kHz) transmitted by the telemeter
and converts it to an analog signal. The Millar Mouse Telemetry System is therefore compatible
with all acquisition systems with analog inputs. The Configurator System allocates telemeter and
tBase data transmission frequencies and provides diagnostic information on the telemeter or tBase.
Due to continual product improvement, your system may look slightly different to the images and
graphics contained in this manual. If you have any questions or need help please contact us at
support@millar.com
Key Features
Accuracy:
For long term, high frequency physiological recordings. Digital wireless recording of data with the
highest quality and signal integrity (sampling 2 kHz).
24/7:
Data can be collected 24 hours a day while the animal is on the tBase.
Versatility:
Telemeters send digital data wirelessly from within the animal to the tBase where it is converted to
an analog signal compatible with existing data acquisition systems.
Low cost of ownership:
Millar mouse telemeters are single use items which eliminates the time and cost associated with
telemeter explant and refurbishment.
Efficient housing:
Multiple animals can be housed in one location for simultaneous recordings. No specialized cages
or shielding is required as each telemeter operates independently on one of 40 transmission
frequencies.
Service & support:
Millar prides itself on being responsive to our customers’ current and future needs. We have
experienced engineers and scientists on staff to provide professional, expert and timely support and
advice.

Telemetry System Components
The Mouse telemeter
All telemeters are shipped individually packaged, sterile and ready for use. The telemeters will need
to be configured to a data collection Channel prior to implantation. PLEASE NOTE the telemeter
does NOT need to be removed from its packaging for Configuration. When handling the telemeter,
care must be taken not to damage the telemeter body or lead wires as telemeters are nonrepairable.
The tBase
The tBase is able to detect the location of the telemeter within the operating area to efficiently
provide power to the telemeter. For safe and normal operation of the tBase it needs to be placed
on a flat non-metallic surface. There must not be any metal or another tBase within 10 cm of the
tBase and we recommend at least a minimum of 40 cm separating distance above or below another
tBase.
The Configurator System
The Configurator System (Configurator hardware and ConfigSoft software) wirelessly controls
mouse telemeters and tBases to:
Change/configure mouse telemeter and tBase transmission Channels (this must be done
before implantation).
Run and provide diagnostic information on mouse telemeters and tBases.
ONLY a single Configurator System is required to control all Millar (rat or mouse) telemetry systems
in a laboratory. The Configurator System is not required for data acquisition. Note: Existing Millar
rat telemetry customers with a Configurator System may only require a firmware and software
update to their Configurator for use with the mouse telemetry system. Please contact
support@millar.com for assistance.
** IMPORTANT: The ConfigSoft software supplied on the USB drive must be installed on a computer
before connecting the Configurator hardware to the computer.
