FB1000-2 MANUAL Page 3 7608177 Rev. A 8/9/02
Introduction
Thank you for selecting a Fisher Scientific FB1000 Electrophoresis power supply. This manual
describes the operation of the FB1000. The power supply that you have purchased is the most
productive and easy-to-use unit available anywhere. This manual should answer any questions
that might arise in operating your power supply; however, don't hesitate to call our Fisher Lab
Equipment Technical Support Hotline at 1-800-943-2006 or 1-800-926-0505 if you need any
assistance.
The FB1000 power supply is designed to provide constant voltage, current, or power in both
Manual and Programmed modes of operation commonly used in electrophoresis applications. One
to four sets of electrophoresis cells can be connected in parallel and run simultaneously. The
FB1000 can deliver up to 250W of total output power. When operating in any constant mode, the
power supply automatically limits the other parameters to either the power supply maximum, or a
lower limit if set by the user. If any non-constant limit is reached, the power supply will
automatically switch control modes, controlling the limit parameter. In this way, the FB1000
protects your electrophoresis cells from damaging over power conditions. The FB1000 power
supply also provides for timed and volt-hour operation in all control modes, and allows an
automatic completion in the event of a power loss if enabled.
