Arbin Instruments The MSTAT 4 contains four potentionstat/galvanostat stations fine tuned for Bat ery, Supercapacitor, and Electrochemistry allowing multiple, independent PST/GST experiments to run simultaneously. Primary Applications: MODEL VOLTAGE CURRENT ■ Electrochemical research & development ■ MSTAT4 -2V to 10V ±5A/100mA/1mA Half cel testing and materials research ■ Cathode and anode research ■ Primary & secondary bat ery testing ■ Lead, lithium, & alkaline bat ery cycling ■ Small direct methanol fuel cel s ■ Four independent channels with each channel capable of functioning as an independent PST/GST. Each channel can be reffered to its own reference electrode (RE). ■ Each channel comes with three current ranges with 16 but resolution ■ In multi-electrode applications, each channel accommodates an individual RE, or several channels can share one RE (such as in a combinatorial cel ). This results in accurate control and measurement and enables individual IR drop compensation. Channels share ground as the counter electrode (CE). ■ A unique mathematic filter is adapted in software to reduce the fluctuation of current or voltage in nature of a digitalized control system. ■ Three current ranges ■ Advance software package, MITS Pro (Multiple Integrated Testing System, professional versions), provides flexible scheduling, user-friendly interface, distributed system control and DAQ, and easy automatic or manual maintenance and calibration. ■ Software must provide easy data plot ing based on Microsoft Excel macro.

Statistical data: cycle #, cycle capacity/energy, max voltage, etc. Arbin Instruments provides a wide variety of auxiliary modules for expanding the capability of the main I and V control circuitry. Each module plugs securely to the bus board. These auxiliary modules are classified as input-only, input/output, and control modules. Input Modules: Auxiliary inputs can be used to record desired data as wel as to terminate or regulate charge and discharge processes based upon measured conditions. Selectable inputs are of V (voltage), T (temperature), P (pressure), and pH (pH value) Input/Output Modules: Digital I/O is an integrated peripheral on/of control. The output is commonly used to control valves and switches. The input allows external control signal to control testing procedure. Control Modules: Arbin provides control modules for auto-calibration, SMART bat-tery testing, external charger, temperature chamber interface, and AC impedance measurement.

The system itself is secure from the inside so the users do not have to worry about is. There are three levels of fusing provided inside the system for further protection at the channel, board, and power supply level. The software also has several safety functions with which the user can avoid over charging the cel s, over discharging, overheating, etc. Smart UPS: This option uses a very smal Smart UPS to back up power to the computer only. This al ows the user to enable auto resume options to al of specific channels after a stop due to power interruption. Provision is provided for the user to intervene if they so desire before the channels resume. This is an essential component for any user with an unreliable power source unless you have the whole facility on backup power.
