BOOSTER STATUS INDICATORS

The following LEDs are available on the booster front panel (Figure 3-1), to
indicate the status of the booster.

OVERLOAD AND TEMPERATURE SHUTDOWNS

The booster will shut down automatically in the event of either of the following
conditions:
The booster becomes overloaded during normal operation, exceeding its
•
power capacity, so that the
inconsequential surges during startup, when the LED comes on but the
booster continues running).
The booster overheats and the
•
conditions in which this is likely to occur, for each booster variant, are given
in Chapter 4.

Overload
Indicates that the booster is powered up.
Indicates that the booster has operated beyond
its normal capacity and the counter electrode
has been automatically disconnected from the
cell. When this condition occurs, the
experiment should be stopped and then
restarted from the software when the fault has
been rectified.
A temporary overload may occur during
startup, but this is inconsequential and the
booster will not shut down.
Indicates that the booster has overheated and
the counter electrode has been automatically
disconnected from the cell. When this
condition occurs, the experiment should be
stopped and then restarted from the software
when the fault has been rectified, but only
after the booster has cooled down.
Indicates that the booster function is bypassed,
so that the signals pass straight through.
Indicates that the counter electrode is
connected and a voltage or current is being
supplied to the cell.
