Then, connection to the cell with the booster option is the same as the standard or ULC board
connection.

NOTE: It is possible to use the ULC cable presented in the next paragraph. Note that if the
potentiostat board is connected to 2 A, 4 A or 10 A booster and to a ULC cable, the lowest
Irange is 1 µA. The lowest Irange of the ULC cable is not reachable.
5.1.3 HCV-3048 booster chassis
The connection of the HCV-3048 to the potentiostat/galvanostat board is done using the DB15
or LIO cable.
When wanting to parallelize the HCV-3048 to increase the current, each chassis is connected
to the other using the DB15 or CLIO cable.
Also the BNC Open In in the back of the instrument should also be connected such that when
the Emergency Stop button is pushed on one instrument the power of all boosters is shut.

5.2.1 Cables description when used as standalone potentiostat or with booster boards
Two types of cable, standard and Ultra Low Current (ULC) can be connected to the DB25
connector of the potentiostat/galvanostat/ZRA boards. The difference between the two cables
is their specifications. The current ranges available for the standard board is 10 nA to 500 mA
(10 nA and 100 nA range are gains) and for the ULC, it is from 1 pA to 500 mA (1 pA and 10
pA are gains).
