Caution
External power potentiostats connected to the IM7 series can only be operated sequentially. Simultaneous control of multiple power potentiostats is not supported.
Never connect or disconnect the D-SUB connector on the rear of the power potentiostat while either of the two devices is switched on. Failure to observe this precaution may result in damage to both the device and the test object.
Secure the D-SUB connector with the provided screws to prevent accidental disconnection.
When switching between devices, the non-selected external potentiostat will maintain its DC conditions, including DC potential or current and on/off status.
Voltage and current outputs of non-selected external potentiostats are neither measured nor monitored for compliance with defined voltage/current limits.
Only the currently selected external potentiostat is internally connected to the FRA (Frequency Response Analyzer) of the IM7 series potentiostat. Consequently, only the active external potentiostat can generate AC signals.
