Overview
The CAEN Mod. N1410 provides 4 independent High Voltage channels in a single width NIM mechanics. Each channel can provide a ±1kV max voltage, a 200 µA max current. The output polarity is independently selectable for each channel. Channels have common floating return (common return insulated from the crate ground); HV outputs are delivered through SHV connectors. The HV output Ramp-up and Ramp-down rates may be selected independently for each channel in the range 1÷100 V/s in 1 V/s steps. The module features 5 nA Iset/Imon resolution. Features include Imon Zoom, increasing resolution to 500 pA.

Consult our connectors reference page for technical information.
Power supply control can be performed either locally, assisted by a Graphic color display or remotely, via USB, RS232 or RS485, the latter allowing to build a daisy chain network of modules N14XX. It is also controllable via TCP/IP by the Smart Fan Unit of CAEN NIM8301.
A complete set of free software Tools is available to control this unit: GECO2020 with user friendly GUI and CAEN HV Wrapper library for custom SW development. EPICS and LabVIEW also supported.
Safety features allows the module to perform as a current generator and includes:
Overvoltage and Undervoltage warning | when the output voltage differs from the programmed value by more than 2% of set value (minimum 1V). |
Overcurrent detection | if a channel tries to draw a current larger than its programmed limit, it enters TRIP status, keeping the maximum allowed value for a programmable time (TRIP), before being switched off. |
Hardware VMAX | Programmable VMAX protection limit. |
Common Interlock logic | for channels enable/disable and individual inputs signal for channel Kill function. |
Module control can take place either locally, assisted by a Graphic colour display, or remotely, via USB (1) or RS485 (1). It is also controllable via TCP/IP (2) by the Smart Fan Unit of CAEN NIM8301 crate.
Available Options:
- A1480 DC Input Power Equalizer.
N14xx modules are provided with a USB VCP interface and can be programmed via PC by connecting the PC USB port with the N14xx USB B-type port; the featured controller (FT232BM chip) requires a driver available on this page or at www.ftdichip.com

- Output channels
4 channels, Common Floating Return, SHV connector Positive or Negative Polarity (requires internal setting)
- Output ranges
1 kV / 200 µA (IMRANGE = High)
1 kV / 20 µA (IMRANGE = Low) – Imon Zoom Active
- Max. Ch. Output Power
200 mW
- Vset Resolution
20 mV
- Vmon Resolution
20 mV
- Iset Resolution
5 nA
- Imon Resolution
5 nA (IMRANGE = High)
500 pA (IMRANGE = Low) – Imon Zoom Active
- Vmax
0 ÷ 1050 V; absolute maximum HV level that the channel is allowed to reach, independently from the preset value Vset. Output voltage cannot exceed the preset value Vmax. The accuracy is 0.2 % ± 20mV
- Vmax resolution
± 0.1 V
- Ramp Up/Down
1÷100 Volt/s, 1 Volt/s step
- Trip
- Max. time an “overcurrent” can last (seconds). A channel in “overcurrent” works as a current generator; output voltage varies in order to keep the output current lower than the programmed value.
- “Overcurrent” lasting more than set value (1 to 9999) causes the channel to “trip”.
- Output voltage will drop to zero either at the Ramp-down rate or at the fastest available rate, depending on Power Down setting; in both cases the channel is put in the OFF state.
- Trip range: 0 ÷ 999.9 s; 1000 s = INFINITE. Step = 0.1 s (If trip= INFINITE, “overcurrent” lasts indefinitely).
- Voltage Ripple
- 10 ÷ 1000 Hz. Typical: 3 mVpp / Maximum: 5 mVpp
