In this way, the FB300 protects your elec- trophoresis cells from damaging over power conditions. The FB300 power supply also provides for timed opera-...
Do not use any other AC line cord with damage to the equipment. this instrument. The FB300 is a high voltage power supply capable of generating dangerous levels of voltage and current during Note operation. Exercise caution when working around and Notes alert you to pertinent facts and with the electrical connections of this equipment.

Unpacking and Installation When unpacking your FB300 power supply, be sure you have received the following items. • FB300 unit • AC line cord • This manual Inspect your equipment and packaging material for signs of damage. Damage to the shipping container may indi- cate rough handling which could cause internal damage to the power supply.
Operation Location 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.
To change the control mode, press the constant key. This key toggles control from constant voltage to constant cur- rent. Each time, the FB300 will display the last saved set- point value for that particular mode. After selecting a control mode, either constant voltage or...
"mAmps" is illuminated. Use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to change the limit to the desired value (4-400 mA). The FB300 will not allow setting a current limit out- side of the allowed range. In addition, the FB300 will never exceed the maximum power output specification of 75W.
Loss of AC power includes unplugging rating would be exceeded. If this value is lower than the the unit. When performing timed runs limit setpoint entered, the FB300 will use this lower limit with power-fail restart enabled, always parameter. use the front panel controls to stop a run in progress.

PERATION When AC power is restored during a timed run in which power-fail restart is enabled, the display will show "PF" for approximately 10 seconds indicating power-fail restart pending. During this time the output is not energized, to allow safely stopping the run (by pressing RUN). After the power-fail restart pending delay is completed, the power supply output will ramp up to the setpoint value and the time will continue from that point.
Replacing a Fuse Before servicing the unit, be sure to always unplug the unit from the AC power source. The FB300 power supply Caution requires no periodic servicing and should provide years of The FB300 may use double pole neu- trouble free operation.
The FB300 detects and reports several events and conditions that are considered errors. The FB300 will stop any run in process and display "EXX" where XX is one of the below listed errors. When the FB300 is display- ing an error indication, press the gray ON/OFF key to clear the error and return to setup mode, or press the Run key to resume the run (after correcting the cause of the error).
