Fisher FB1000-2 manual Introduction, Unpacking the Power Supply

Introduction

Thank you for selecting a Fisher Scientific FB1000 Electrophoresis power supply. This manual describes the operation of the FB1000. The power supply that you have purchased is the most productive and easy-to-use unit available anywhere. This manual should answer any questions that might arise in operating your power supply; however, don't hesitate to call our Fisher Lab Equipment Technical Support Hotline at 1-800-943-2006 or 1-800-926-0505 if you need any assistance.

The FB1000 power supply is designed to provide constant voltage, current, or power in both Manual and Programmed modes of operation commonly used in electrophoresis applications. One to four sets of electrophoresis cells can be connected in parallel and run simultaneously. The FB1000 can deliver up to 250W of total output power. When operating in any constant mode, the power supply automatically limits the other parameters to either the power supply maximum, or a lower limit if set by the user. If any non-constant limit is reached, the power supply will automatically switch control modes, controlling the limit parameter. In this way, the FB1000 protects your electrophoresis cells from damaging over power conditions. The FB1000 power supply also provides for timed and volt-hour operation in all control modes, and allows an automatic completion in the event of a power loss if enabled.
