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.
