– Introduction

The Multi Autolab instruments consist of a Multi Autolab Cabinet, or MAC, with a total of

12 module bays. There are two types of Multi Autolab Cabinets:

•The Multi Autolab/M101, identified with a serial number beginning with

MAC8

This type of cabinet is designed to accommodate up to 12 M101

Potentiostat/Galvanostat modules.

•The Multi Autolab/204 identified with a serial number beginning with

MAC9

. This

type of cabinet is designed to accommodate up to 12 M204

Potentiostat/Galvanostat modules.

Table 1 provides the overview for loose modules available for Multi Autolab instruments,

the part list for each module and the software and hardware requirements or restrictions.

Warning

Take all the necessary steps to avoid ESD damage to the modules and instrument by

grounding yourself. The use of an ESD safety kit is highly recommended.

– Opening the Multi Autolab Cabinet

The Multi Autolab instruments are fitted in the N form factor cabinet shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1 - The Multi Autolab Cabinet

Follow these steps to open the Multi Autolab Cabinet:

1. Switch off the instrument and unplug from the mains

2. Unscrew the four screws on the rear of the Cabinet (indicated in Figure 2). Leave

the screws in the top cover.

Figure 2 – Locate the four indicated screws on the back plane of the cabinet

3. Remove the top cover by sliding it from the front to the rear. The best way to do

this is to stand in front of the instrument, put both hands at the rear part of the top

cover and press with your fingers on the rear panel, while pressing on the top cover

(see Figure 3). The top cover should come off easily.

Figure 3 – Open the cabinet by sliding the cover of the cabinet

4. Lift the top cover and remove it from the instrument and disconnect the earth cable

(see Figure 4).

Figure 4 – Lift the cover

Follow these steps to remove the front panel:

1. Unscrew the four screws, indicated in Figure 5, holding the front panel to the frame

from the mounting tabs.

Figure 5 – Locate the four indicated screws holding the front panel

2. At the bottom of the front panel the same construction is used. The screws can be

reached through holes in the bottom cover. These screws must be removed

without

turning the Autolab upside down

. In order to do this, slide the instrument slightly

over the edge of the table and remove the four screws indicated in Figure 6 from

below.

Figure 6 – Remove the four indicated screws from below the instrument

3. Now the front panel can be shifted smoothly to the front and taken off (see Figure

7).

– How to insert the new module(s)

The Multi Autolab Cabinets are fitted with a total of 12 module bays. The module bays

have alternating roles. Six bays are referred to as Parent positions, the six others are referred

to as Daughter positions, as shown in Figure 8.

Figure 8 – The Multi Autolab Cabinets are fitted with 6 Parent positions (top) and 6 Daughter

positions (bottom)

Depending on the type of module bay, the following modules can be inserted in the

cabinet:

•

Parent position:

this module bay can accommodate the M101 or M204

Potentiostat/Galvanostat module.

•

Daughter positions:

this module bay can accommodate either an additional M101

or M204 Potentiostat/Galvanostat module or an optional module (see Table 1 for

the compatible optional modules). When an optional module is installed in a

daughter position, it will be controlled by the M101 or M204 module installed in

the parent position immediately to its left.

4.1

– Restrictions

The following restrictions apply to the Multi Autolab Cabinets:

1. The minimum number of M101 or M204 modules is 1.

2. The maximum number of M101 or M204 modules is 12.

3. It is not possible to install M101 modules in a Multi Autolab/M204 cabinet and it is

not possible to install M204 modules in a Multi Autolab/M101 cabinet.

4. The maximum number of optional modules is 6.

5. Optional modules cannot be installed in Parent positions.

6. Optional modules cannot be installed in a Daughter position without having a M101

or M204 module installed in the corresponding Parent position.

4.2

– Installation procedure for M101 or M204 modules into Multi Autolab Cabinet

The Multi Autolab Cabinet is fitted with a USB hub on the back panel of the instrument

which can be used to share the control of the modules installed in the instrument between

a maximum of three computers (see Figure 9).

Figure 9 – The USB hub located on the back plane of the Multi Autolab Cabinet

Depending on the connection to the USB hub, the host computer can control the following

module bays:

•

main USB:

all the module bays in the Multi Autolab cabinet are controlled.

•

sub-1 USB:

module bays 3, C, 4 and D are controlled.

•

sub-2 USB:

module bays 5, E, 6 and F are controlled.

When M101 or M204 modules are installed into a Multi Autolab Cabinet, the following

guidelines should be followed:

1. Install M101 or M204 modules in the Parent positions first and only use the

Daughter positions if the number of M101 or M204 modules is > 6 (see point 3).

2. Alternate the positions of the M101 or M204 modules in the Multi Autolab Cabinet

in order to optimize the use of the USB hub located in the back plane of the

instrument (see Figure 10 and Figure 11).
