For use with photomultiplier tubes, microchannel plates, proportional counters, and Geiger-Mueller tubes 0 to 3 kV 0 to 10 mA Digital meter reads output voltage or current Overload and short-circuited protected External control of output voltage 115 or 230 V ac, 47 to 63 Hz input power
CONTROLS
POWER Front-panel toggle switch energizes unit when power cord is connected to appropriate source, and an adjacent red LED lamp indicates when power is applied. OUTPUT VOLTAGE One 6-position switch, one 5-position switch, and one 10-turn precision potentiometer; output voltage is the sum of the 3 settings. METER Front-panel toggle switch selects display of output voltage in V or load current in mA. POLARITY Rear-panel switch selects either positive or negative output polarity. CONTROL Rear-panel locking toggle switch selects the reference source for the output voltage. INT Selects the internal reference source; the front-panel controls select the output voltage. EXT Selects the external reference source; output voltage is proportional to magnitude of reference input. AC VOLTAGE Rear-panel slide switch selects either 115 V or 230 V ac input voltage.
INPUTS
AC POWER 103129 V or 206258 V, 4763 Hz, 70 W nominal at full output power; supplied through international standard IEC power connector on rear panel. Fuse rating: 1.5 A, 250 V fuse for 115 V ac operation or 0.75 A, 250 V fuse for 230 V ac operation. EXTERNAL CONTROL Full range of output voltage can be based on an external dc reference level furnished through a rear-panel BNC connector; control voltage range is 0 through 6.9 V dc; control voltage polarity must be the same polarity as that selected by the rear-panel Polarity switch; this input protected against over-voltages >7 V. Input impedance >45 k.
Specifications
PERFORMANCE
OUTPUT POLARITY Positive or negative, selected by switch on rear panel. OUTPUT RANGE 50 to 3000 V; minimum usable voltage 10 V. OUTPUT LOAD CAPACITY 0 to 10 mA. REGULATION 0.0025% variation in output voltage for combined line and load variations within operating range at constant ambient temperature. TEMPERATURE INSTABILITY <50 ppm/C after 30-minute warmup; operating range 0 to 50C. LONG-TERM DRIFT <0.01%/hour and <0.03%/24-hour variation in output voltage at constant input line voltage, load, and ambient temperature after 30-minute warmup.
OUTPUTS
REGULATED DC OUTPUT The adjusted and regulated voltage, with selected polarity, is furnished simultaneously to the two SHV connectors on the rear panel.
