Page 6: Introduction
PARSTAT 3000, PARSTAT3000A Hardware Manual P/N 234551 Rev. B INTRODUCTION The PARSTAT 3000 (Figure 1), teamed with the VersaStudio software package, comprises a simple, flexible, and extremely powerful system for performing a wide range of electrochemical techniques. This manual covers models PARSTAT3000 and PARSTAT3000A; the term PARSTAT3000 in the manual text represents both variants unless explicitly identified. -
Page 7: Potentiostatic Mode
1.2.1. Potentiostatic mode In this mode, the PARSTAT 3000 controls the potential at the working-sense electrode with respect to the reference electrode (see Figure 2). The counter electrode is driven to the potential required (consistent with the + 30 V compliance of the control amplifier) to establish the desired working potential. The range over which the working electrode potential can be controlled is the entire + 30 V window. -

Page 16: Connecting The Cell
Though not required, best practice recommends that you first power off the Chassis. Match and attach the D connector side of the Cell cable to the front of the PARSTAT 3000, and secure the screws on either side. After cell cable is connected to front panel, power the unit on and let it boot fully (approximately 1 min to boot up) before connecting a cell to the leads of the cell cable. - Page 17 Yellow – E2 Positive (E2+) electrode lead. This is labelled E2 POS. Along the E2 NEG this is an input to the additional electrometer of the PARSTAT 3000. This is used for 6 -WIRE measurement. Common applications are for Anode/Cathode experiments, measuring single cell in a stack, or any additional external voltage or probe Blue –...

B b) General aqueous electrochemistry, corrosion experiments and most EIS experiments are connected using a three-terminal connection (Figure 7). The voltage at the working-sense is controlled relative to a stable reference electrode positioned in close proximity to the working electrode.

It is recommend that after one changes modes, a new calibration for DC accuracy be performed by selecting the “Calibrate Now” button above the Flaoting Settings option. In addition to the mode selections, the PARSTAT 3000 also provides additional filters that could be required with some cells in order to enhance the signal to noise. - Page 21 PARSTAT 3000, PARSTAT3000A Hardware Manual P/N 234551 Rev. B Figure 12. Selecting Notch Filters and EIS Filters. The “EIS Filters” are specific for those systems equipped with the FRA option to perform Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), and can be used when performing EIS techniques where noise pickup from additional, grounded electrodes in the cell are degrading the EIS data.

TTL trigger input signal to be read. DISPENSE When using the PARSTAT 3000 with a Model 303 or 303A Static Mercury Drop Electrode (SMDE) via a Model 507 interface, this signal causes the electrode to perform a DISLODGE/DISPENSE operation on command from the host PC. -

±2V corresponding to +/- full scale current range, 50Ω output impedance. NOTE: If the PARSTAT 3000 channel is operating in “float” mode, then all connections to the Analog Connector must be floating (isolated from ground) as well. If a grounded connection is made to any panel connectors (any non-isolated connection), then the PARSTAT 3000 system will no longer be isolated itself, and ground loops will result in excessively noisy data. -
