Getting Started
Select a location that allows for 3" clearance behind the power supply, and comfortable reach of the front panel controls and cell connections. Do not block the vented area of the case - on the front bottom of the unit, or the fan area at the rear. Connect the power supply to a 3-prong grounded AC outlet, using the AC cord provided with the unit only. Connect the electrophoresis apparatus to the power supply, making sure to match the red positive lead to the red positive jack, and the black negative lead to the black negative jack. Similarly, connect a second or more electrophoresis apparatus to the power supply if you plan to run more than one in parallel. Attach a temperature probe to the FB1000 rear located connector and the electrophoresis apparatus if you intend to perform temperature monitoring for a run. Power the unit on using the AC power switch located at the rear of the unit, next to the AC line cord entry.

Using the Power Supply
Press the dark gray key on the front of the unit to enable/disable the control logic. The LCD display will illuminate and allow selection of MANUAL or PROGRAM mode of operation as well as enable/disable automatic power-fail restart. Toggle automatic power-fail restart by pressing the topmost function key to the right of the display. Select MANUAL or PROGRAM mode using the function keys to the right of the display (see Programming section for programming mode description). In manual mode, the FB1000 preserves the constant setpoint each time you start a run. The constant parameter is saved independently for each mode; constant voltage, current, and power.
To change the control mode, press the Exit key. From the resulting screen, select the new constant parameter using the function keys to the right of the display.
