Overview
The CAEN Mod. N1470ET provides 4 independent High Voltage channels in a double width NIM mechanics. Each channel can provide a ±8 kV max voltage, a 3 mA max current and a 9 W max power (8 W max power when output voltage is larger than ±3 kV). 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÷500 V/s in 1 V/s steps. The module features 50nA Iset/Imon resolution. Zoom (x 10) for Imon increases resolution to 5nA.

Consult our connectors reference page for technical information.
Module control can take place either locally thanks to a 2.8″ Touchscreen Graphic color LCD display with a completely redesigned user interface or remotely, via USB 2.0 or Ethernet. A complete set of Software Tools is available to control these units; the user can freely download low level libraries, LabVIEW driver and Graphical application software.
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 10V). |
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. |
VMAX | programmable VMAX protection limit. |
Safety Board Interlock | 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:

- Vmax
0 ÷ 8100 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 1 % ± 5 V
- Vmax resolution

- Alarm output
Open collector, 100 mA maximum sink current
- Interlock input
LOW: < 1 V; current~5mA; HIGH: 4÷6 V
- Ramp Up/Down
1÷500 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)
