Important
: Check line voltage before connecting the ELectroPOATOR to power. Always use
a three-wire line cord and a mains power-plug with a protection contact connected to ground.
Disconnect mains power-plug when replacing the fuse or changing line voltage. Replace fuse
only by appropriate specified type (one spare fuse is supplied). Before opening the cabinet
unplug the instrument.
4. Operation
The instrument is operated by connecting a signal generator or data acquisition analog output
to SIGNAL INPUT. This signal is transformed into an output signal at HIGH VOLTAGE
OUTPUT and scaled according to the settings at the OUTPUT SCALING switch.
The ELectroPORATOR has a trigger unit for starting the function generator or data acquisition
system connected to SIGNAL INPUT. This trigger can be set manually by the MANUAL
TRIGGER or a footswitch/button connected to REMOTE LOW ACTIVE TTL at the rear panel.
It can also be set externally by connecting an external trigger to TIGGER INPUT (TTL).
Activating the trigger unit leads to a TTL HIGH signal at TIGGER OUTPUT (TTL).
SIGNAL INPUT and HIGH VOLTAGE OUTPUT are always connected and an electroporation
signal is generated as soon as the function generator or data acquisition system connected to
SIGNAL INPUT is activated.
Before using the ELectroPORATOR compensate for OFFSETS (VOLTAGE and CURRENT
separately) and for electrode capacity (in current output mode).
