Overview

The power supplies of the AG542 family house 32, 24 or 12 independent high voltage channels. The AG542 is available in different versions equipped with SHV or with DB25 connector:

blank DB25 connector

Single width (5 TE wide), 24 channel for Mod.AG542LN
Single width (5 TE wide), 32 channel for Mod.AG542N, AG542P

blank SHV connector

Single width (5 TE wide), 12 channels for Mod.AG542DN, AG542DP, AG542SM
Double width (10 TE wide), 24 channels for Mod. AG542LP, AG542SN, AG542SP

Consult our connectors reference page for technical information.

The channels share a Common Ground and the output voltage range is 0 ÷500 V, (10 mV step) with 1 mV monitor resolution. The maximum output current is 1 mA, (20 nA step) with 1 nA monitor resolution.

The board is available with either positive or negative output polarity. Mixed version with 6/12 positive and 6/12 negative channels are also available (only with SHV connectors). The HV RAMP-UP and RAMP-DOWN rates may be selected independently for each channel in the 1 ÷ 100 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.
Safety Board Interlock This protection allows to disable the primary HV generation when the HV outputs are not connected to their loads.
