Introduction
Thank you for selecting a CBS Scientific EPS-3000P-II(V) Electrophoresis power supply. This
manual describes the operation of the EPS-3000P-II(V). 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 CBS
Scientific Technical Support at 1-800-756-5737 or email us at [email protected] if you
need any assistance.
The EPS-3000P-II(V) power supply is designed to provide constant voltage, current, power, or
temperature 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 EPS-3000P-II(V) can deliver up to 400W 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. Note: The unit will not
crossover and control for temperature when the unit is in the Constant Current, Constant Voltage, or
Constant Power mode. The only time the unit will control for temperature as an upper limit is when the
unit is in the Constant Temperature mode (See Constant Temperature Operations section for details).
In this way, the EPS-3000P-II(V) protects your electrophoresis cells from damaging over power
conditions. The EPS-3000P-II(V) 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.
