CELL CONNECTION
The cell lead cable is the group of wires that connects the Epsilon EClipse™ to the electrodes of the
electrochemical cell. If the Epsilon EClipse™ will be used with a BASi cell stand (e.g., C3, CGME, or RDE), please
see the specific cell stand manuals for connection and operation of these accessories. To function correctly, the
connected Cell Stand must be selected within the software (Setup setting in the Instrument Menu).
A general purpose cell lead cable is supplied with the Epsilon EClipse™. The general purpose cable plugs into the
cell port on the front panel and terminates with alligator clips that attach directly to the electrodes.
There are 4 electrode leads and 1 grounded (shielding) lead.
The color code is:
Black covered wires: Working electrode leads (W1 and W2)
Red covered wire: Auxiliary electrode lead
White covered wire: Reference electrode lead
Bare or black wire w/lug: Earth ground connector
WARNING: NEVER CONNECT OR
ADJUST THE CELL LEADS DURING
AN EXPERIMENT OR WHEN CELL=ON.
DOING SO COULD DAMAGE THE
SENSITIVE AMPLIFIERS AND VOID YOUR
WARRANTY.
