4 mm banana sockets for connection to the cell cable
of a potentiostat or battery tester. Adapters for
connection of 2 mm banana plugs are included.
The "CELL" socket may optionally be used
for connecting the PAT-Stand-1 to a
potentiostat (instead of connecting to the
banana sockets at the front). The "AUX"
socket is for future use.
2Installation
Place the PAT-Stand-1 on a flat, dry, clean surface. This can be, for example, on a bench top,
inside a temperature chamber or glove box. Then connect the cell cable of your potentiostat or
battery tester channel to the banana sockets at the front of the PAT-Stand-1.
