PARSTAT 3000, PARSTAT3000A Hardware Manual P/N 234551 Rev. B
used in the control loop, but is usually used to measure the potential at some point in the electrochemical
cell relative to the working-sense connection point.
Reference the section on Safety Considerations for recommendations on maximum currents / voltages on
batteries.
1.3. Software
The PARSTAT 3000 is fully compatible with the VersaStudio software as well as the VersaSTAT
Developer's Kit (VDK). The PARSTAT 3000 will not operate with any other software other than that
specified
in this
manual or

command set to allow user programming outside of the VersaStudio software, beyond the functionality
provided as part of the VDK. The software is designed specifically to work with Windows 7, Windows 8 and
Windows XP. It is highly recommended that either Windows 7 or XP be used.
1.4. Polarity Convention
The PARSTAT 3000 hardware follows the American polarity convention. (Positive current is cathodic; that
is, a current is defined as positive if reduction is taking place at the working electrode. Negative current is
anodic; that is, a current is defined as negative if oxidation is taking place at the working electrode. If the
working electrode is driven positive with respect to the equilibrium potential, the resulting current is anodic.
If the electrode is driven negative with respect to the equilibrium potential, the resulting current is cathodic.)
1.5. Inspecting Your New Instrument
As soon as you receive your new PARSTAT 3000, inspect it for shipping damage. If any damage is noted,
immediately notify Princeton Applied Research and file a claim with the carrier. Save the shipping container
for possible inspection by the carrier.
WARNING:
If your instrument has been damaged, its protective grounding might not work. Do not
operate damaged equipment! Tag it to indicate to a potential user that it is unsafe to operate.
