PARSTAT 4000 Hardware Manual 29
5. AVAILABLE OPTIONS
The factory installed options available for the PARSTAT 4000 are as follows:
1) Advanced Auxiliary Interface (4 x 12-bit +/-10V inputs)
2) 20A Current booster Option.
3) VersaSTAT LC Ultra Low Current Option
5.1 Advanced Auxiliary Interface Option
The Advanced Auxiliary Interface (AAI) Option allows for an additional four (4) A/D
inputs for the VersaStudio software to acquire along with data recorded directly from the
PARSTAT 4000.
The AAI is an external unit that plugs directly into the same PC as that interfaced by the
PARSTAT 4000 into an available USB port. The VersaStudio auto-detects the AAI, and
collects data on the additional four A/D inputs along with data directly from the hardware
(E, I, AUX, etc.).
The AAI is a +/-10V DC input, 12-bit unit (+/-5mV resolution) system, and is
recommended for when several variables need to be colleted concurrently with the
electrochemical data, such a pH, temperature, etc.
Although an external unit, the AAI requires that it must be purchased at the same time
along with the base unit, or at a later time by returning the base unit to a qualified
Princeton Applied Research Service Center for installation and calibration of necessary
components internal to the hardware.
5.2 Power Booster Options
The Current Booster Options for the PARSTAT 4000 is a 20V/20A.
Note: The voltage component for the boosters is compliance voltage increase, not
reference voltage increase. The maximum reference voltage (applied voltage) remains
at +/-10V.
Each current booster includes an external power supply interfaced to additional internal
circuitry of the PARSTAT 4000 system via the rear panel. Once connected, the system
can be operated in either boosted mode or normal mode depending on a switch setting
at the rear panel, as well as some cell cable changes. When set to “Booster” mode and
interfaced correctly to the external power supply, currents up to the maximum for each
option can be applied or measured. The VersaStudio software auto-detects the booster
mode, and automatically sets the parameters needed to operate correctly in that mode.
