  • Page 6: Section 1. Introduction

    BASi. The C3 Cell Stand interfaces directly with the Epsilon EClipse, EC Epsilon, and other non-BASi electrochemical analyzers. The cell can be enclosed in a Faraday Cage to minimize electrical interference. A built-in gas control allows purging or blanketing of the sample prior to or during analysis.

  • Page 16: Remote Control

    REMOTE CONTROL The remote connector of the C3 allows the stirring and gas purge functions to be controlled by an external unit. The cell stand was specifically designed to be controlled by the appropriate commands from BASi electrochemical analyzers. These functions can be ac- tivated by either a TTL signal or from any controller providing a contact closure to the ground.
