Overview
The CAEN Mod.A1526 is a double width board (10 TE wide) specifically designed for the single gap RPC detector. Available for positive and negative polarity, it features 6 independently controllable HV channel equipped with CPE connectors. The channels share a Common Floating Return, which allows on-detector grounding reducing the noise level.

Consult our connectors reference page for technical information.
The output voltage can be programmed and monitored in the 0 ÷ 15 kV range with 1 V resolution.
The maximum current full scale can be fixed via internal jumpers either at 100 µA or at 1 mA.
A global enable/disable connector allows to disable the channels when it is not terminated on 50 Ω. The HV Ramp-Up and Ramp-Down rates may be selected independently for each channel in the 1 ÷ 500 V/s range (1 V/s step).
Safety features allows the module to perform as a current generator and includes:
| Channels | can be enabled or disabled through the Global Interlock logic. |
| Overvoltage and Undervoltage warning | when the output voltage differs from the programmed value. |
| Overcurrent detection | when a channel attempts to exceed the programmed current limit, it signalled to be in “overcurrent” and enter in a TRIP status. The output voltage is varied to keep the current below the programmed limit for a programmable TRIP time, then the channel is switched off. If TRIP is set to “constant current mode”, the channel behaves like a current generator. |
| Hardware VMAX | maximum output voltage can be set, via front panel potentiometer, at the same common value for all the board channels. VMAX value can be read out via software. |
The board features the CPE HV output connectors and the relevant coaxial cable connectors (Mod. A997) are also available.
