Getting Started
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. Connect the power supply using a cord appropriate for
the mains supply. Connect the electrophoresis apparatus to the power supply, making sure to match
the red positive lead to the red positive jack, and the black negative lead to the black negative jack.
Similarly, connect a second or more electrophoresis apparatus to the power supply if you plan to run
more than one in parallel. Attach a temperature probe to the EPS-3000P-II(V) rear located connector
and the electrophoresis apparatus if you intend to perform temperature-controlled runs. Note that only
one electrophoresis apparatus can be controlled when using temperature control. Power the unit on
using the AC power switch located at the rear of the unit, next to the AC line cord entry.

Using the Power Supply
Press the dark gray key on the front of the unit to enable/disable the control logic. The LCD display will
illuminate and allow selection of MANUAL or PROGRAM mode of operation as well as enable/disable
automatic power-fail restart. Toggle automatic power-fail restart by pressing the topmost function key
to the right of the display. Select MANUAL or PROGRAM mode using the function keys to the right of
the display (see Programming section for programming mode description). In manual mode, the EPS-
3000P-II(V) preserves the constant setpoint each time you start a run. The constant parameter is saved
independently for each mode; constant voltage, current, power, and temperature.
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
