Overview

A1561H is a single width board (5 TE wide) that houses 12 independent high voltage channels. The board is available with positive, negative or mixed polarity. Channels are delivered through SHV connectors.

Single width (5 TE wide), 12 channels for Mod. A1561HDN, A1561HDP

Consult our connectors reference page for technical information.

The output voltage range is 0 ÷ 6 kV with 10 mV monitor resolution. The Maximum output current is 20 μA with 50 pA monitor resolution. Channels share a common floating return, which allows on-detector grounding reducing the noise level. The floating return is insulated from the crate earth up to ±50 V (with a 65 V hardware limit).

Independently programmable for each channel:

Output voltage 0 ÷ 6 kV step: 100 mV
Current limit (Iset) 0 ÷ 20 μA step: 500 pA
HV Ramp up/down 1 ÷ 500 V/sec step: 1 V/sec
TRIP parameter 0 ÷ 999.9 s; 1000 s = Infinite step: 0.1 s

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.
