Booster Boards; 48V Booster Board; 30V; 4A/14V; 10A/5V Booster Board - Bio-Logic VMP-300-based Installation And Configuration Manual

Note that when the channel board is running, the green LED blinks.

5.1.2.2 Booster boards

There are two kinds of booster boards. The booster boards which needn't any additional cable
to carry the current (1A/48V) and the boosters which need a cable to carry the current (2A/30V;
4A/14V; 10A/5V). The 2A/30V; 4A/14V; 10A/5V boosters can be connected in parallel to
increase the maximum current.
NOTE: It is possible to connect in parallel only the same boosters, not possible to mix 4A and
10 A booster for example.
5.1.2.2.1 1A/48V booster board

DB-15 female connector for connection to the calibration board,

DB-15 male connector for connection to the potentiostat board.
The 1A/48V booster increases the unit's compliance and the cell polarization to +/- 48 V.
This option is compatible with the Ultra-Low current option. This combination of options allows
user to get a current autoranging from 1 pA to 1 A. This option can be used both with EIS
(maximum value 2 MHz) and standard channel boards. Once the booster is connected to the
potentiostat board, connection to the cell is the same as without the booster 1A/48V connected.
5.1.2.2.2 2A/30V; 4A/14V; 10A/5V booster board

DB-15 female connector for connection to the calibration board,

DB-15 male connector for connecting the potentiostat/galvanostat board to the booster
board,

DB-9 connector for connecting the power cable P1 and P2 leads.
The 2A/30V, 4A/14V and 10A/5V boosters have similar boards with one DB-15 female
connector, one DB-15 male connector and one DB-9 male connector. These boosters are
connected to channel board and to calibration board in the same way.
The booster connection is as follows:

Connect it to the standard channel with the DB15 male – DB15 female cable

The power cable with P1 and P2 leads of the kit has to be connected to the booster
board via DB9 connector.
Note that the connection to the cell is the following:

P1 lead of the standard or ultra-low current (ULC) board cable has to be connected to
the P1 lead of the booster option.

P2 lead of the standard or ultra-low current (ULC) board cable has to be connected to
the P2 lead of the booster option.
